Chapter 134: The distance between the fingertips and the beam

"The situation on the pitch is in a state of flux and now what Luton have to do is very simple, they just need to keep destroying, disrupt Liverpool's passes, disrupt Liverpool's breakthroughs, they want to stop the game, they want to make Liverpool's attack fall into such an on-and-off situation! So they can win! Lightkinson said from the commentary bench.

'But the fundamental reason they can do that is the advantage they built up in the first 50 minutes of the game, when they scored three goals against Liverpool!' Redknapp said, "If I were Gao Bo, I'd do the same!" ”

Gao Bo was looking at the big screen at this time.

It's been sixty-five minutes! Twenty-five minutes until the end of regular time!

Gobo saw Benitez call Xavi Alonso over, and when Xavi Alonso returned to the pitch, he was pointing his finger and talking to the Liverpool players.

Gao Bo didn't know lip language, but he knew that Liverpool would definitely change something next.

When people are close to success, there are always some gains and losses, and Gao Bo doesn't know what kind of adjustment Benitez is making now, so he is a little nervous.

However, Gao Bo quickly restrained the expression on his face, and he returned to a calm appearance.

Liverpool's attack was also quickly launched, and the Liverpool players became more frequent than before, and they no longer stood still to receive the ball and pass, but began to run.

As a result, it will be difficult for Luton Town to hold Liverpool's players in midfield.

In the 68th minute of the game, the Liverpool midfielder made a series of passes, and Gerrard finally distributed the ball to Kuyt's side.

Liverpool's focus on the centre of the pitch and then suddenly on the flanks gave Liverpool's attacking effect well.

Kuyt won the ball on the flank and crossed as soon as he could!

Torres and Riera jumped high in the box, and Gerrard in the middle also rushed into the box!

Torres grabbed the point first, but with George Parker's interference, Torres headed the ball away!

This time the attack did not score, but the Liverpool fans in the stands cheered and applauded.

Now for Liverpool, as long as there is an attack and a shot, it is possible to equalize the score!

"Well done!! Fernando!! ”

Gerrard also encouraged his team-mates as he stepped back.

Liverpool didn't retreat, they pressed on the edge of the Luton penalty area.

In the face of opposition forward pressing, Claude certainly does not pass the ball directly to the defender - this directly to Liverpool makes no difference.

Claude rubbed for a moment, then waited for the referee to lose patience before he kicked the ball out with a big kick.

The big, high, drifting ball flew towards Liverpool's goal.

Vardy was moving forward at high speed, and the probability of him getting the ball was low, but he also ran.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope to get the ball, Vardy will not give up. He is a striker with a bulldog-like personality.

Jamie Vardy gritted his teeth and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina also ran out.

In the end, it was Reyna who got the ball first, but Vardy's pressing made him afraid to stop the ball, so Reyna headed the ball directly over the touchline.

The Luton fans in the stands cheered and applauded Vardy's fighting spirit.

Gao Bo on the sidelines also gave Vardy a thumbs up.

Because Vardy ran this time, Liverpool couldn't calmly take the ball to attack this time, but let Luton get a throw-in, which means that Luton can continue to delay a little longer!

"It's the seventy-third minute of the game, and there are about twenty minutes left before the end of the game!! Vardy's sprint was not in vain, and Reina was forced to send the ball off the touchline to clear the ball. Luton's throw-in! ”

However, Luton did not get a lot of people on because of the throw-in, and after the throw-in, Liverpool quickly got the ball back.

Gao Bo soon discovered that Luton's midfield pressing was limited under Liverpool's quick passing and running in the middle.

So he simply waved his hand.

"Back to the front of the penalty area to defend !!"

Gao Bo waved his arms and Luton's players shrank back, and they were on the edge of the box, 30 metres into the goal.

Twenty minutes to go!

Gao Bo looked at the big screen at the scene and then looked at the court.

Liverpool's offensive is getting fiercer!

The tide of attacks hit the Luton defence, and under the constant onslaught, Liverpool can always find some opportunities!

In the 76th minute of the game, Torres turned and volleyed directly after stopping the ball on his chest in the penalty area!

This goalkeeper Claude has no choice. However, it is not known at what time Hassan Ali was already on the goal line.

The ball hit him in the chest, causing the youngster to snort, but he reacted well to clear the ball before Riera could rush into the box to grab the spot.

"It's the seventy-seventh minute of the game! The score on the field is still 3 to 1! Luton Town lead Liverpool at Wembley!! Hold on for another 20 minutes and the victory will be for Luton!! ”

The narrators' tones were also a little nervous at this time.

The atmosphere in the Wembley stands was also quite tense, with both Luton and Liverpool fans watching the situation intently.

Every Liverpool attack can cause a wave of exclamation.

This is true for both Luton and Liverpool fans.

"It's time for Benitez to make a substitution..."

As soon as Redknapp's words fell, the French high school striker N'Golo was already standing on the sidelines.

This high school striker, who is 190 centimeters tall, has a very strong header ability, and in the final stage, Liverpool is going to play a long pass!

Gao Bo also called Matt, and when he needed to strengthen his header, Gao Bo liked to use Matt at both offensive and defensive ends. His header ability is really outstanding.

However, Matt had just stood on the sidelines, and the situation on the field changed dramatically.

Liverpool's central defender Skrtel doesn't know when he will get into the penalty area to participate in the attack, and he is also acting as a high school striker!

Riera's cross from the wing hit Mitchell Piran's calf bone, and the ball rubbed against the calf bone, making the ball faster and more bizarre.

And this Skrtel grabbed the front point!

Header from the front point, the Liverpool centre-back knocks the ball into the goal!

"Damn !!!"

Gao Bo turned around sharply and kicked a bottle of water away from his feet!

The Liverpool fans cheered.

"Beautiful!!! Nice header!! Centre-back Skrtel!! Now the score is 3-2!!! ”

The commentators in the commentary table chanted.

Benitez on the sidelines didn't have time to celebrate, he was still explaining something to N'Golo.

And the Liverpool players on the pitch did not celebrate, they were running out of time, Torres rushed directly into the goal, scooped up the ball and ran back...

With their heads in their hands and only a one-goal lead remaining, will they be able to hold on?

The expressions of the coaches and bench members behind Gao Bo also became serious.

Counting stoppage time, there are still thirteen or fourteen minutes to go.

This is plenty of time for the attacker.

What's next...

"Coach.. Do I still have to play? ”

Matt was crying, what could be more unlucky than now, he was just about to come off the bench when the team conceded a goal.

"Up!! You go on!! ”

Gao Bo made a decision quickly, just like he said to Lin Sen, even if it is a wrong decision, it is better than no decision!

"Go up and defend with your headers, focus on the middle! Top out any crosses!! ”

"Understood!! Chief! ”

"And! Tell everyone that we keep defending!! ”

"There are still ten minutes left! Be sure to focus!! ”

Matt nodded frequently.

Soon, both sides completed their substitutions.

Matt came on for Charlie Austin and N'Golo came on for Mascherano!!

In the final stage of the game, both sides are going to fight hard!!

Liverpool couldn't wait to launch the attack.

They didn't care about any attacking organization now, and Liverpool's two full-backs pressed straight up, constantly making crosses from 45 degrees.

At this time, in the Luton penalty area, a dozen or so players were all shrunk inside, and as far as the eye could see, it was all heads...

In the 86th minute of the game, Arbelloa crossed and the football was pushed out of the box by Matt.

And Gerrard, who was outside the penalty area, met the ball directly with a volley!

The ball hit Kante and bounced out again.

Then it was Xavi Alonso who met the shot on goal.

Drinkwater flew in to block the ball, he chested it down, and Kevin Keane kicked it straight into the air.

After that all the Luton players rushed out and they had to make sure they couldn't be too flat by Liverpool...

Luton's physical-built defence kept the score until 90 minutes.

At this time, the fourth official on the sidelines held up the sign for stoppage time...

Injury time in this game.... Six minutes!

Luton Town fans booed what they thought was too much stoppage time.

And Gao Bo was also very dissatisfied, and he was directly protested by the fourth official.

It's just that he didn't pay any attention to it.

Regardless, there were six minutes left in the game.

Liverpool's offensive is getting more and more fierce, which makes Gao Bo's psychological fluctuations very large.

Just like the fans in the stands, when he sees Liverpool's shot, Gao Bo's heart will also tighten....

It's also human nature, and the Liverpool players are actually a little anxious, they have to score a goal now!

Cross!

Long shot!

Liverpool continue to threaten in the simplest of ways.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Six minutes is not short, but it is not too long!

The game quickly went to the first.... Ninety-seven minutes!

It's been more than ten seconds of stoppage time, but Liverpool is still attacking with the ball!

Boos erupted from the stands and the Luton fans couldn't wait for the game to end.

But the referee gave Liverpool one last chance to attack.

Riera played the ball up the wing.

In the box, Jeffrey and Torres jumped at the same time.

This time, though, Torres had the upper hand as he flicked the ball in the back of his head towards goal...

Thousands of eyes are watching the football flying towards the goal...

Will it be this ball?

The Liverpudlians are looking forward and even Benitez leans forward....

Don't...

Luton's supporters were filled with trepidation. Gao Bo stared so that he didn't let himself shout, and behind him, Haruko, the only woman on the coaching staff, was already screaming....

Claude soared into the air.

At this point, time seems to have slowed down.

This is Claude's moment!!

He stretched out his arms, trying to stretch himself longer...

The tips of the fingers touched the soccer ball slightly, and the soccer ball in the air changed direction slightly.

Bang.....

This voice struck everyone's hearts...

The football hit the upright and went out of the bottom line...

Luton's players didn't have time to celebrate, they looked at the referee!

The Liverpudlians also looked at the referee on duty with begging eyes!

Will there be a penalty?

All eyes were on the pitch at this time.

And the referee put the whistle in his mouth!

Beep!!

A short whistle sounded, and the referee raised his hands!

Beep !!!

Two long whistles!

The referee has his hands straight!!

The game is over!

The last attack, the distance between a fingertip and the crossbar, reflected on the pitch, is the difference between heaven and hell...
