The Ball at Your Feet

Liverpool's goal conceded, so that the entire Anfield stadium burst into roar. These fans are very clear about what it means to concede a goal like this.

Lost a goal away, and lost another goal at home. The opponent has the advantage of away goals in hand, and Liverpool must score three goals to be able to qualify for the group.

This is simply the goal that pushed Liverpool to the cliff.

"In 1977, Liverpool faced such a situation." Martin Taylor spoke slowly. "At that time, Liverpool led by Shanker met Saint-Etienne. After losing an away goal, Lost a goal in the first half at home."

He did not finish the sentence, but the audience all knew what happened-in the second half, Liverpool reversed three goals and defeated the then Ligue 1 champion Saint Etienne. Reached the Champions League final and won the Champions League. More importantly, since then, Liverpool has been out of control. Under the leadership of two generations of famous coaches Shankly and Paisley, it has swept across Europe. In the 1980s, it was established that made the entire United Kingdom and Europe panic. The Red Army.

But the Red Army is not this one. That Red Army, but swept across Europe, let those football players, super stars all bow down to the invincible division!

After the end of the first half, everyone who entered the dressing room was a little downcast. They really cannot accept such a situation. It was obvious that Liverpool had the advantage, but consecutive missed opportunities, in the end, instead, Olympiacos took the lead. Could it be said that this year's Champions League, luck is really not in Liverpool?

"We still have a chance." Benitez was next to the tactical board, still talking about his tactics. "Their right-back defense has loopholes. Kewell can make more breakthroughs to help the team win. And they The midfielder control is not as good as ours. In the second half, Rivaldo will shrink even after his physical strength drops. Our midfielder can jump in significantly to destroy their defense. And their set-piece defense is also problematic, and the cooperation is obviously not good enough. We can try to beat their defensive mistakes..."

"Coach, can I say a word?" Gerrard interrupted Benitez's endless talk. Benitez hesitated and gave up his position.

"Brothers, this may be the last time I took the captain's armband, stood on this position, and talked to you." Gerrard looked at everyone and continued, "What is the reason, I think everyone knows." The team has no money, but we need to rebuild. If we can’t make the Champions League knockouts and we don’t have money, then the only way to make money is to sell me to Chelsea. 32 million pounds is enough for us to rebuild."

"Chelsea gives me a weekly salary of 120,000, which is higher than that. I know that Chelsea can win more championships. I know very well. All that Chelsea can give me, Liverpool can't give me, but, do you know? , I want to stay here, I don’t want to go there, for a simple reason, I love here!"

"I hope to win! I hope that ten years from now, when I am thirty-five, I can take my son, show him his father's medal, and tell him how many honors his father has won in his lifetime! I don't want to I have nothing and make my son laugh at me as a loser. But no matter how much I want to have a championship, no matter how much I want to win, no matter how much I want to be the best player, I never thought about leaving Liverpool! Why? Here is Liverpool, Shankly and Paisley's team, the best team in England, this is Anfield, they must respect us here!"

After roaring loudly like venting, Gerrard returned to his usual calm look. His face was a little bit depressed, and his forehead lines appeared heavier, "But your performance gave them a reason to disrespect us. Liverpool’s reputation is earned by its predecessors, but Liverpool’s future depends on us to work hard. Your performance prevents opponents from admiring us, and even makes us no longer admire ourselves. Otherwise, why would Michael leave here? Isn’t it because he doesn’t respect the bootroom and our traditions? Okay, now I’m leaving, this place will be yours. I’m saying these things now, not as a player, but As a Liverpool fan: Can you guys behave better, let people know that we are not good to bully?"

"Tear them!" Carragher roared.

"There is still half of the game, we haven't lost! The situation is not the worst! We can have three chances in the first half, and we can make it in the second half." Zhao Yaning raised his head and said to the surrounding teammates, "We You can win this victory."

He also stood up at this time, "I also just became a father, and I also have a son. And my son will also ask me about this game in the future. The same is true for you, you will also be fathers in the future. We must not lose face in front of our sons!"

"We can win, we can definitely win!" Kewell also said, "We are not bad in tactics. The coach arranges tactics well enough. We are not bad in technique, and our technique is good enough. We are bad. It's just a little willpower. Now, brothers, if we don't fight now, when will we fight? This game is the time for us to fight hard!"

After returning to the stadium, the Liverpool players are already prepared desperately.

Zhao Yaning hadn't thought much about it before. Even when he lost the ball in the first half, when he thought about it, if he didn’t make it to the Champions League knockout, the Ballon d’Or selection would be unlucky-but it wasn’t until Gerrard mentioned his son’s problem that Zhao Yaning had some vigilance. .

Gerrard does not yet have a son, but Zhao Yaning does. Ten years later, what did he say about this game? I can't throw people in front of my son.

Obviously, everyone else has the same mind. Although they have no sons, they are ashamed at this time, and none of them can afford to be ashamed.

Just one minute from the start of the second half, Liverpool ushered in an excellent opportunity.

Kewell took the ball and broke through on the left. After he directly chose the bottom, when the opposing full-back came to defend, he raised his foot to make a pass, but at the moment the opposing pounced, he smashed the ball and then went straight. Broke into the restricted area.

Milito was at the penalty spot at this time. Two central defenders, one is looking at Cowell and the other is looking at Milito. At this time, Cowell passed the ball directly to the ground.

The ball did not pass to the penalty spot, but was passed horizontally along a trajectory parallel to the goal line. The position of the ball is a little far away from the goalkeeper, making the goalkeeper suffer from gains and losses. He still stretched out his foot to intercept, instead of throwing it down in time. After the ball leaked from the goalkeeper, Zhao Yaning received the ball at the back point. He almost stood on the goal line and swept the ball into the goal!

"Al!!! Zhao Yaning's goal equalized the score, Liverpool still has a chance!! Kewell's coquettish pass, he has not passed away, he is still the Australian genius we know!"

At this time, Kewell also rushed in front of Zhao Yaning and yelled with Zhao Yaning. The roar of the two people couldn't hide their excitement-Kewell's pass was indeed coquettish enough, and Zhao Yaning was also excited by such a ball.

Liverpool's counter-offensive posture made Olympiacos begin to fully retreat. After all, they have the scoring advantage in hand, as long as they defend and not lose two goals in the second half, it is their victory. At this time, they dare not attack anymore. And this is exactly what Benitez expected. Gerrard and Alonso immediately pressed on, Olympiacos' lineup was suddenly crushed and lost its thickness, the formation and rhythm were all lost, and there was no attack.

The sky full of singing came, and the sky full of red banners rolled. Paisley and Shankly in the stands were all talking about one thing: This is Anfield! This is Liverpool! This is our site!

And soon, Kewell created another opportunity for Liverpool. This time, his breakthrough was knocked down and a free kick was formed on the left side of the penalty area.

Zhao Yaning looked at the goalkeeper's position and kicked the ball up.

The ball floats a bit, but it has an arc. It's not just a deciduous ball, and it seems to be a little high... The goalkeeper couldn't analyze what kind of ball it was, but when he saw that the ball didn't fall in time, he still let go.

But the football did not fall behind the goal. He drew a weird arc, but he still fell into the restricted area.

Alonso grabbed the first landing point. He took the ball across a step, blasted the goal with one kick, and directed the ball to the goal~www.ltnovel.com~ The goalkeeper knew that he couldn't catch the ball with this strength, so he fisted twice. Attacked and blocked the ball. But right in front of him, Milito caught up, with a header, and threw the ball into the goal!

"Al!!! Liverpool's second goal, Liverpool reversed the game! Now even if they are eliminated, they can also be said to stand and leave the Champions League field! Milito's goal is also for him Liverpool has found a foothold!"

Milito turned his head, hugged Alonso, and hit Alonso's head with his head. The two meaningless goals lost in the first half of the game almost made him lose confidence, but at this time, he once again proved himself: this is where he can show himself!

Thank you fans, thank you for your perseverance! Thank you for still singing and never alone! Thank you for your support, let me get to this point!

Seventy minutes have passed, and the singing of Liverpool fans has become louder and louder. Olympiacos has completely lost the mind to attack, they just want to defend the last twenty minutes to win the overall situation.

Liverpool has almost been attacking the siege, time is passing by, and Liverpool's opportunity has finally arrived.

After Zhao Yaning made a cross from the right, Milito grabbed the first point. He headed a little and hit the ball outside the penalty area, and it was Gerrard who ran up to face the football.

Lift your foot, meet the ball, and shoot in the air!

"Al!!!!!! Liverpool achieved a reversal, Liverpool qualified!!!!!! Stephen Gerrard!!! Beautiful goals, wonderful games, excellent captain!!! Liverpool's The future is bound to be bright!!!"
