Chapter 874: Vigorously Produce Miracles (2)
When Age shot, the ball was about three meters away from the goal. There was basically no hope for a shot at such a distance. Age also knew about this, but he had no players in the connection with the goal, and goalkeeper Alikan had just gone to the closest corner to defend Chen Yu. A central defender like Age could no longer wait for a better opportunity, so he used his best efforts to slap.
There is a saying that great force is used to produce miracles, but now miracles have finally appeared.
Chen Badminton passed the ball very strongly. Under Ag's powerful shot, the two forces joined together, the ball turned back, with almost no rotation, and flew to the upper right corner of the goal with a whistling.
The shooting was extremely powerful and fast. After the game, the shooting speed had reached 180 kilometers per hour.
Not to mention that Alikan was not in the middle of the goal just now, even if he stood in the middle, he might not be able to react. Alikan had just made a save move, and the ball over there had already flown into the net.
Seeing the ball enter the net, Age could hardly believe his eyes. Until his teammate cheered and ran towards him, he excitedly opened his arms and flew towards the visiting team stands.
“goal……………………………”
All Liverpoolians and those who prefer Liverpool almost broke out in unison at this time.
Eighty minutes!
This has been eighty minutes!
The Liverpool people have been waiting for too long! At this moment, they can finally cheer, and they can finally sweep the depression in their chests.
"I scored a goal... Ag! Ag! Ag! Ag, who just recovered from injury, became a hero! His long-range shot broke the Turkish goal for the first time! The score became 2:1. Liverpool saw hope of equalization. Time still exists. Think about the Champions League final night in Istanbul. As long as you are willing to fight, as long as you believe in yourself, a miracle will happen... We cannot forget Chen Yu who passed the ball to Ag. Without his firm breakthrough, Ag would not have the chance to shoot. Half of this goal is credited to Chen Yu..."
Of course, what he said is Chinese commentator Duan Xuan. Of course, what he said cannot be wrong. Without Chen Yu's breakthrough pass, Age would not have a chance to shoot, but such shots from 30 meters away reflect more personal ability and luck. Chen Yu's pass effect is only one-third.
Although Benitez was not as crazy as Besiktas head coach Sagram just now, he also turned around excitedly and hugged the assistant coach and substitutes who rushed over.
It’s not for Liverpool’s players to be so excited. If they don’t score goals during this period, almost 90% of them may lose the game. Now Ag scores not only narrow the goal gap to one, but also cannot be measured by data. In this case, the possibility of Liverpool equalizing the score is more than 50%.
After Ag scored a long shot, Besiktas's players did not dare to shrink too much when defending. Liverpool's feet are so smooth now that they let them shoot long shots without pressing, maybe they will enter another one.
Besiktas' players expanding their defense outward is a good thing for Liverpool players. It turned out that the middle was not airtight, so they could not enter Besiktas's penalty area, nor could they pass the ball near the penalty area. The forwards also had no room for action in the penalty area. Now, they use the threat of long-range shots to attack inside or outside, and the threat is several percent greater than before.
Liverpool is a veteran strong team, with rich experience and knowing that they should strike while the iron is hot at this time. After Besiktas kicked off in the middle circle, Liverpool's players once again put forward a big push, pushing Besiktas' players on their half-time attack.
Since there was a successful experience in scoring a long shot, Liverpool players later also hope to replicate this success again. In the next game, Liverpool tried more long shots in different directions and distances. Besiktas's players suffered a loss from a long shot, which also strengthened the interference of Liverpool's long shots. In this way, Liverpool's long shots were a lot, but they were either high or biased. Or they were hit on the defensive players and could not form a real threat. Instead, Crouch's header in the penalty area caused a lot of trouble to Besiktas' goalkeeper Alikan.
The goal difference is only 1 now. Besiktas's original stable three-pointer doesn't look so stable now. Sagram is a smart man and a ruthless man. He does not think that Besiktas's defense is poor because Besiktas was besieged. He believes that Besiktas's offense did not put pressure on Liverpool. So at this time, he not only did not replace the striker and replace the defender, but instead made a counter-attack, and used Real Madrid forward Higuain's younger brother Ferrinanco Higuain to replace Delgado and continue to strengthen the team's attack power.
Liverpool saw that the long shot could not work, and the midfield scored a good effect, but Liverpool only had Crouch in the penalty area, and he was weak and did not seize the opportunity. Liverpool's midfielder consciously inserted the attack in the back row. This offensive method changed a bit fast. Besiktas's players were busy defending Liverpool's long shots. Liverpool suddenly became a forward-strike and scored a few shots. He was caught off guard by Liverpool.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Chen Yu used his speed to break through the wing, and the full-back Tandogan made a cross from the bottom. Crouch and Gerrard who inserted it attracted the attention of the defense in front. At this time, Babel suddenly inserted and a powerful header headed to the goal. However, the young Dutch guy was just as good as the header, but he pushed the goalkeeper Alikan to the side of goalkeeper Alikan. Alikan did not need to jump or move, and reached out to block the ball out of the baseline. If the ball was a little more biased, Alikan could do nothing.
In the 85th minute of the game, Worenin from the other side passed the penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal pass to find Crouch. When Crouch was about to head the ball, goalkeeper Alikan took the lead and hit the ball with both punches. However, the ball fell in front of Gerald in the middle. The Red Army captain raised his foot and shot, trying to shoot the ball from the far corner, but the ball fell on the top of the net.
The best opportunity was for Besiktas to counterattack in the 87th minute. The ball was cut by Mascherano at the front of Liverpool's penalty area. The Argentine immediately passed the ball to the side to find Chen Yu. Chen Badminton received the ball and cut inside, and led it to the front of the penalty area horizontally. He drifted past two defenders and shot. The ball was saved by Alikan and rolled to Crouch's feet, but Crouch pushed the ball but was blown offside by the lineman.
There is little time left for the game at this moment. Benitez decisively made the last substitution adjustment. Fullback Aurerio was replaced, and young Brazilian midfielder Lucas Reva made his first appearance in the Champions League.
Lucas was born in 1987 and is the captain of Brazil's under 20 national team. He won the Golden Ball Award in the Brazilian League last year. He is an all-round midfielder. He can both attack and defend, break through, pass long and shoot at an average level. He is also a chic game style, so he is also called Brazil's "Redonto" by Brazil. However, Liverpool fans now think he is Brazil's Gerald and hopes that he can succeed Gerald.
Benitez sent Lucas to use the surprise attack, taking advantage of Besiktas's players who are not familiar with Lucas' technical characteristics to see if they can create opportunities to score.
Of course, this is also a life-and-death. When big names like Chen Yu and Gerald are helpless, it is better to use a newcomer like Lucas to rush. Even if it is useless, you can still exercise Lucas. In Benitez's heart, he is also the target of Liverpool's focus on training.
After Lucas came on the court, Besiktas's players really didn't know how to defend him, because no one thought that Lucas would play, so they had no research on him and didn't know what he was good at.
Lucas completed a very threatening pass as soon as he appeared. He passed the ball to Crouch from the crack of the man, but Crouch did not realize that the ball would come over. The stop was slightly larger and was cleared by the defender's big foot.
Just when Besiktas's players regarded Lucas as a passer, Lucas showed his assault ability. Facing the defense of two Besiktas' two players, Besiktas swung through the continuous and fast fake moves and went straight into the penalty area.
There are many people in the penalty area at this moment. Even if Lucas breaks in, he can't find a chance to shoot. However, Besiktas's players don't know what kind of skills this Brazilian boy has, and no one dares to let him go. The midfielder Afzi, who came on the bench, reached out and pulled Lucas down, and was awarded a free kick by the referee.
The free kick is just outside the front of the penalty area. The arc ball is not easy to play, the distance to fall is not enough, and a strong shot may not necessarily penetrate the wall. Such a free kick is actually quite difficult to play.
At this critical moment, they are the only ones who can take the free kick, but who will take the free kick will have to discuss who will take the free kick. This can almost be called Liverpool's last chance. At this time, this free kick is not only an honor, but also a kind of pressure. Although the penalty is a hero, if it does not make the penalty, it will bear the blame for the team's failure.
Gerald and Chen Yu looked at each other. Before Gerald spoke, Chen Yu said, "I'll do it, I haven't scored a goal today, I have a premonition that I can score now."
"Okay, do I need to pass it?" Gerald didn't know whether Chen Yu was saying true or not, but since Chen Yu said that, Gerald could not compete with Chen Yu for this free kick. Now the two have the same status in Liverpool. They have equal qualifications, Gerald is older, famous, Chen Yu is bigger, and their skills seem to be stronger. They both respect each other.
Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "No, I'll do it right."
"Come on!" Gerald slapped Chen Yu hard on the shoulder and stepped aside.
Besiktas' players attach great importance to this free kick. They know the importance of this ball and Chen Yu's power. Although this free kick is not difficult, they still lined up a 7-person wall, and the gap between the walls is very small, so they will never give Chen Yu a chance to penetrate.
Besiktas' goalkeeper Alikan gritted his teeth and told his teammates that he would rather be knocked out by the ball than avoid it. This is the decisive goal, and victory or defeat is here.
While Besiktas's players were lined up, Chen Yu silently measured ten steps backwards, stood up, and waited for referee Raulson to blow the whistle.
At this time, the stands of Inani Stadium seemed to be on the pot again. Tens of thousands of Besiktas fans booed wildly, just like hundreds of thousands of poisonous snakes hidden in the stands, and many people threw debris down to interfere with Chen Yu's shooting.
But Chen Yu was unmoved. He stood with his lips tightly pursed, like a straight javelin.
At this moment, Chen Yu only had the goal in his eyes, and goalkeeper Alikan only had the ball under Chen Yu's feet in his eyes.
Being able to compete with a striker like Chen Yu is a kind of luck and opportunity. Chen Yu is now the biggest favorite among footballers in the world. If Chen Yu can win Chen Yu, Alikan will probably become famous in Europe immediately. Although I dare not say that he can be bought by the teams in the five major leagues, it will be at least enough for him to show off his second half of his life after retirement.
Now Alikan has only a few minutes left to win Chen Yu. This free kick may be Chen Yu's last chance. As long as Alikan defends Chen Yu's attack this time, Chen Yu may not even have a chance to shoot in the back.
At this time, Benitez on the sidelines also clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't even hear the assistant coach telling him whether to arrange this free kick tactic. Even if he heard it, he would not be able to manage his finances. When he shot, he absolutely believed in Chen Yu.
Sagram is even more nervous than Benitez. Liverpool lost the game because he lost face and lost the initiative to compete for the first place in the group. In fact, there is still hope. However, if Besiktas loses or draws, he will basically lose the opportunity to qualify in the group. It is difficult for Sagram, who is determined to make history.
force!
Referee Raulson's whistle rang.
Chen Yu accelerated to run, swung his legs high, and pulled the ball into the middle of the goal with all his strength.
When Chen Yu shot, the Besiktas player who was standing in the wall quickly jumped to try to prevent the ball from crossing the wall.
But beyond everyone's expectations, Chen Yu's powerful shot hit a ground ball! Yes! It's a ground ball! His powerful shot is not actually to break through the goalkeeper's fingers, but to ensure that the ball he shot can pass through the moment the player jumps and falls.
This cannot be said that Chen Yu was betting right, but he can only say that Chen Yu's shot was too accurate and his power was too great. This was a victory of technology, not purely gambling.
Goalkeeper Alikan saw Chen Yu's shot, and he subconsciously wanted to fly over, but when he found that Chen Yu had rolled on the ground, Alikan was stunned. He just fell down instinctively to stop the ball, but Chen Yu's shooting power was extremely powerful, not inferior to the long shot that Age had just entered, but the distance was closer.
Before Alikan fell completely, the ball flew into the net from under him.
2:2
Chapter completed!
