Chapter 324: There will be no overtime
() If 90 minutes can end the fight, who wants to drag the game into extra time?
If Chelsea run out of energy now, the game will go to extra time and be more passive.
But so what?
Stamina doesn't recover anytime soon, and if Chelsea fail to attack once or twice with the rest of the game, it will only get worse when the game goes into extra-time.
The lesser of two powers, if Chelsea hold on to the rest of the game and Liverpool deplete their energy due to frequent attacks, there is still a chance for Chelsea.
The Chelsea wall has been settled, and Liverpool's top earners have taken up their positions in the box.
At the Millennium Stadium, a player wearing a pair of green and white gloves was seen standing alone in front of the ball.
"This is a penalty for the ball?"
"Liverpool is really in a hurry! TO ran to this position and took a free kick! ”
"Yes, I can't see that Benitez is so determined, Liverpool is biting to death and wants to end the fight in regular time!"
Tang Wu's free kick is nothing new for fans, and Liverpool, where goalkeepers participate in various attacks at any time, has become an "alternative landscape" in the Premier League.
Bei Bald looked up and looked at the scoreboard.
85 minutes and 49 seconds.
If extra time is included, Liverpool still have six or seven minutes of attacking time.
A few minutes are fleeting in a game. But if you take advantage of those few minutes, the game can make a huge difference.
Chelsea equalised, which was expected. With the quality that Chelsea have shown this season, it is not a problem to score a goal against Liverpool.
So since the second half, the aim of the bald has been to exhaust Chelsea's energy as much as possible to control the last ten minutes of the game.
Whether Chelsea equalise or not, Liverpool can use their abundant physical strength to take the initiative in the game.
But whether the team can score a goal in this time, Bei Bald has no bottom in his heart.
A lack of attacking play has been the norm this season, and Chelsea's defence has been the best in the Premier League this season. That said, extra-time is not an accident, and even a penalty shoot-out is possible.
Penalty shootout?
We have to Chelsea and we have Petr Cech!
Petr Cech vsto
Who of these two goalkeepers is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season?
Is it more to or more to pounce on?
Let's be a little bit awesome! He saved three penalties in a row from Iran in the Asian Cup!
But Liverpool's penalty takers were even worse.
Didier Drogba, Kezman and the others are good penalty takers.
Although he stood there and stared ahead, Bei Bald couldn't help but fall into conjecture.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled grunt of the ball in the middle of the pitch.
"Huh!"
“???”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“goooooooal!goooooooooal!goooooooal!”
“toits to”
“to!!”
"Hula!!"
The sudden burst of cheers at the Millennium Stadium brought Bevultures back to reality, and when he opened his eyes, the black-and-white elf was entangled in Chelsea's net, lying quietly inside the door.
"Walter?"
"What just happened?"
A question mark on his face.
He seemed to have guessed the answer, but he couldn't believe it.
"Coach, coach! We scored, scored! The assistant teacher next to him hugged Bei Bald and shouted in his ear: "TO is TOTO!! ”
At this moment, the fans of the world watching this game are boiling.
In countless broadcast studios, broadcasters from various countries shouted the word "goal" over and over again. And the goal was accompanied by only Tang Wu's name.
What happened?
Did TO's goal?
After the surprise, Bei Bald raised his head. On the big screen, the picture just now is being replayed.
A free-kick from 26 yards in front of the goal line, a little to the right.
Free kicks from this distance can be passed or shot.
As usual, Tang Wu waited for his teammates to stand in position, and the referee blew the whistle before raising his right hand.
Then run, swing your legs, and kick the ball.
Everything was so normal, thinking of all Tang Wu's previous free kicks, there was no sign that he was going to hit the goal.
However, when the wall of Drogba, Duff, Glen Johnson, Kezman and Gudjohnsen jumped in unison, a black and white cannonball flew right under Kezhman's feet.
After Tang Wu's tense instep slammed into the front of the ball, the ball immediately broke through the air and moved forward without the slightest spin.
It wasn't until the wall jumped that Cech saw the ball flying from Kezman's feet.
And at this time, when he went to save again, it was already too late.
The young Czech goalkeeper only leaned in slightly, and the ball that came from the ground was already drilled into the bottom right corner of the goal.
The sudden shot and goal left all the Chelsea players stunned and before they could react, the ball had already slipped into the door.
Undisputed direct goal from a free-kick!
The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle in a state of jubilation.
2 to 1! In the 86th minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead again!
Amid the clamor of the fans, the live commentators have gone crazy. He grabbed the microphone and didn't bother to say anything. It's just a roar of rage, and the feeling part of the moment roars out.
Who would have thought that in the final moments of the game, the Liverpool goalkeeper would settle the battle in such a way?
After the goal, Tang Wu raised his arms high, and as soon as he turned his face to the red fans, he was knocked down by his teammates who rushed behind him.
One, two, three...
Liverpool's players rushed over one after another, and the ministry pressed on Tang Wu.
“to”
“to!”
“to!!”
Familiar voices sounded from all directions, and even the blue fan stands were bursting with applause from fans.
An indisputable free-kick goal!
It's so sharp!
Also the goalkeeper kicked!
Such a scene is so rare in the Premier League!
Historically, it has not been without goalkeepers scoring from free-kicks in matches.
Goalkeeper Cheney, who currently plays for Sao Paulo in the Brazilian league, has already made a name for himself with free kicks.
From 1997 to 2001, he scored a total of 66 goals, thus breaking the record held by Paraguayan goalkeeper Chilavert and becoming the goalkeeper with the most goals in the world.
But after all, Cheney played in Brazil, and Tang Wu scored in the Premier League and the League Cup final!
The first goalkeeper to score in a Carabao Cup final, the first to score directly from a free-kick in a Carabao Cup final!
Tang Wu's goal will forever be recorded in the merit book of the League Cup and will be passed down forever.
“... We want to hold the game as much as we can and then let the players rest in the gaps after the game. In overtime, it was also dominated by defensive counterattacks, allowing Caigmando to retreat to defend..."
"Hey, Faria, are you listening? Why is it so noisy over there? ”
In the tunnel of players, Mourinho subconsciously took his phone away from his ear, pressed the speakerphone button, and turned up the sound.
The cacophony on the phone kept going on, and after a while, Faria's bitter voice rang out: "I'm sorry, Mr. José, I can't do what you say. If you defend, I don't think there will be extra time or penalty shootouts. ”
