Chapter 263: Lock up the Premier League Championship
Gerrard saw Jiang Chenxi's gesture and knew that he was asking for the ball.
Just as he was about to pass the ball, Gerrard looked at goal, his gaze past the defender and past his team-mate.
There is no time to think.
It's almost a knee-jerk action, it's an instinctive reaction of the body!
Pick up your right foot!
Directly in the lower middle part of the soccer ball.
The soccer ball glides through the air with a beautiful rainbow and hangs in the corner of the goal!
"What?" Chelsea fans haven't reacted yet, their captain John Terry has just equalised for Chelsea, who would have thought that the same story would happen again in the first half: just scoring and then conceding?!
And it's incredible!
However, the referee's gesture says it all:
The referee points to the center circle, which means that the goal is valid!
The ball is in!
Three to two!
Liverpool put the score out of the scoring again!
……
Gerald was running, and he felt his breath burning.
Over the years, countless nights have been awakened by nightmares.
The slip at Stamford Bridge last season is something he will never be able to let go.
Maybe that will be an eternal regret in my career.
The Liverpool captain was in pain and unwilling.
The years are urging people to grow old, and his career has reached the twilight of his life, and he is unwilling and unwilling to leave with the regret that makes him miserable for a lifetime.
A year of time.
Or Stamford Bridge.
Familiar opponents!
He vowed to seek a different outcome.
The first-half penalty gave Gerrard a little more comfort.
However, this is not enough.
Good results are really good!
The moment Terry scored a few minutes ago, Gerrard felt his breath hard, the defeat of a year ago seemed to be in sight again, he clenched his fists, he told himself that this was not the result he wanted, this was not!
You should do something about it!
Because, he is the captain of Liverpool!
Because of the red jersey that he has worn all his life.
He shoots!
Goal!
This goal seems to tear through the fog that has been clouded in my heart!
Well, now this goal will lead the team to overtake the score again!
At the most critical moment of the team, he did not coax and will never coax!
He can hold his head up and accept the critical and scrutinizing gaze of others.
……
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!”
"Steven. Gerrard! Oooo A kick in the extraordinary world wave! ”
"It's unbelievable! Steven Gerrard scored and he helped Liverpool take the lead again! ”
"Gerald! Yes! It's him! It's him! The Liverpool captain has a long-range shot from 128 feet from goal! He scored his second goal of the day! He helped Liverpool take the lead again! ”
'Against the Chelsea defence, Gerrard didn't hesitate, he shot straight from distance! Pretty! This is an absolute dead end score in the theoretical sense! ”
'After the Chelsea captain scored, the Liverpool captain stepped up! A shocking long shot! ”
"Gerald! Gerrard! Gerrard! At the critical moment, the captain stood up! ”
'A year ago, Stamford Bridge was Gerrard's nightmare, and a year later, the Liverpool captain stood up for it! He told everyone that this time, he was going to lead his team to the championship! ”
At this moment, all the commentators changed their tones, praised Gerrard's performance, praised him as a great captain, praised his contribution to Liverpool, and no one mentioned last year's 'slip and fall incident' that led to the loss of the championship, even if it was mentioned, it was praised for his courage to stand up this time, and say goodbye to the sadness of the past with goals......
Jiang Chenxi and his teammates rushed up, they surrounded Gerrard, they were so excited, they were cheering.
"It's unexpected." Jiang Chenxi hugged Gerrard directly and shouted in his ear, "This ball is so beautiful!" It's so beautiful, Captain! ”
The tried-and-tested captain had recovered from his overly excited emotions, and he was even in the mood to joke, "Thank you for the assist, Jiang!" ”
Yes, this should be regarded as an assist from Jiang Chenxi.
Skrtel hugged Gerrard, the veteran had the urge to cry, seeing the goal of his old teammate and captain Gerrard, seeing that he was finally showing a relaxed smile now, especially in this special stadium, saying such relaxed words, Skrtel's heart was excited, he knew how painful Gerrard's heart was for more than a year.
Off the field, Klopp saw Gerrard suddenly kick the ball into the goal, and even jumped up excitedly after a moment's slap, this goal is too beautiful and too sudden!
On the other side, Mourinho did not get angry this time because of this goal, this goal is a standard fairy goal, not a problem with the defense, Gerrard suddenly scored with a long-range shot about 30 meters away from the goal, such a goal is a reflection of the star's individual ability, and it is really impossible to criticize the defenders.
Just because you don't get angry doesn't mean you're not in a hurry.
Now, the score is 2-3 and Chelsea are once again a goal behind.
The scoreline meant Liverpool would win the game and win the league title three rounds to go, including a make-up game.
This is clearly unacceptable to Chelsea and Mourinho.
Chelsea have no way back, they have to attack and try to score!
……
Chelsea are on the attack.
It's almost an all-or-nothing offense.
Jose Mourinho is also constantly redeploying, with veteran Didier Drogba coming off the bench to replace midfielder Mikel.
Cuadrado came off the bench to replace Willian, who was struggling with fitness.
"Cesc Fabregas! Long shot! It's high! ”
"Didier. Drogba! WOW! It's just a little bit off! Hazard's pass, Diego. Costa's header flicked and Drogba's tackle went over the crossbar! ”
"Courtois! The Belgian made a contribution, he saved Salah's shot! Liverpool's counter-attack was sharp, and Jiang's backheel pass to Salah just now was simply wonderful! ”
Chelsea's attack was fierce, but Liverpool had been prepared for this, their defensive counter-attacking tactics were handy, Chelsea's attack was always a little away from the goal, but Liverpool's counterattack was very threatening, if it wasn't for Courtois's quick reaction, Salah received Jiang Chenxi's backheel pass and almost scored.
……
Eighty-one minutes into the game.
Jurgen Klopp has already made two substitutions, with Lucas Jr. coming on for Jordan Henderson and Kolo Toure coming on for veteran Skrtel, who came out injured after a scramble.
The score on the field was still 3-2, and Liverpool led 3-2 away.
This score means that Liverpool will win the title early.
However, the scoreline is delicate and Chelsea still have hope that they will need just one goal to equalise, and while that does not mean they can snatch the title away from Liverpool, it could delay Liverpool's title win, or at least not on Chelsea's doorstep at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are still not giving up, they are on the attack.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas passed the ball in midfield, and this time his passing intention was spotted by Gerrard.
The Liverpool captain suddenly stepped up and made the tackle.
Gerrard then looked up ahead and instead of continuing to dribble the ball, he flicked his ankle and the ball flew in a wonderful arc towards the Chelsea penalty area.
"Is this—passing?"
The camera follows a soccer ball in the air.
Loud boos erupted from the stands at Stamford Bridge.
In the shot, a red figure flashed out!
This is Jiang Chenxi!
He was so fast that he passed Kurt Zouma, who was desperately chasing the football, who subconsciously tried to pull his shirt but did so.
Then, amid the shrill boos of the home fans, Jiang Chenxi rushed to the front of the football, he hit the football with his foot, and the football soared into the air and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Courtois abandoned the goal, just halfway through the attack, he saw Jiang Chenxi shooting, he was busy making a pounce, but it was too late, as soon as he made a save, the football swept by, grazing the post and flying into the goal......
“Jiang-What-a-Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!” The narrator roared, "Fourth! The fourth! Gerrard's wonderful long pass assists, Jiang's burst scores! The connection between two of Liverpool's greatest players! It's the most wonderful way to score! Four to two! Four to two! It was almost the goal that sealed the game! Liverpool will win this game and they will be the Premier League champions, which will be Liverpool's first Premier League title! ”
PS1: In reality, just after the game, Liverpool won, but in the end, they only won the runner-up, the runner-up with the highest points in the history of the five major leagues...... The pig's head didn't expect that it was too coincidental to write that Liverpool won the club's first Premier League title on this day.
