Chapter 24: The Last Minute
Arabella doesn't have the genes of a Western wizard, she's just an ordinary human.
Her chatter had no effect.
With everyone in the radio hall watching, the big screen began to show a Liverpool attack.
The attack was no different, with the only difference being that Gerrard's pass was precise, he ran down the left and pushed the ball across the middle, while team-mate Melo ran into the box to attract the attention of the Arsenal defenders, but the ball was handed to Xavi Alonso.
On the edge of the box, Alonso had his chance.
The Spaniard shoots with his right foot, and the football hangs in the top left corner of the goal!
Accompanied by the shouts of fans on the big screen, the Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but shout, "The ball is inββ! β
'It was Xavi Alonso, who helped Liverpool break the deadlock and the score became 1-0!'
"The goal was scored thanks to Gerrard's subtle passing, who has been quite good from the beginning of the game until now......",
'It was also Xavi Alonso's second league goal for Liverpool.'
"Statistically, perhaps embarrassingly, Arsenal haven't had a shot on goal so far, maybe their midfielders can practice their shooting feel before playing, otherwise Liverpool will win a fairly unpressed......
ββ¦β¦β
Sky Sports' commentator has nothing to do with the Premier League Voices program.
The sound of the screen in the radio hall could not be transmitted into the broadcast room through the glass window, and Dennis and Zhang Yang also shouted a few words for the goal together, showing their crazy mood for football.
Denise then talked about Zhang Yang's prediction of the goal, "This is a very accurate prediction, can you talk about why you are optimistic about Liverpool to score? β
Zhang Yang said, "From a statistical point of view, Arsenal has not had a shot on goal in the first half, and any team will have a very small chance of scoring from the first shot at the beginning of the game, so I am not optimistic about Arsenal." β
'Actually, from the start of the game, I was bullish on Liverpool, but I never judged the game with subjective emotions, that was the wrong approach. We can see that Liverpool have regained their confidence in the game in the period just now, and they have always had a tendency to fight back. So the goal wasn't actually a surprise......"
"But in terms of predicting goals, it actually depends on luck a lot of the time, and I'm just lucky."
Zhang Yang explained a lot of things in a row, but there was no substance at all, and it was completely a fool's statement.
The fans don't care, though.
They just cared that Zhang Yang accurately predicted the goal.
The people in the radio hall didn't care either.
Carl Rose stood outside the glass window, and when he saw Zhang Yang once again say that he had scored the goal, and said that he had predicted success by luck, he couldn't help but smile at the people next to him, "This young man is always very humorous, and I like him about that." β
The others laughed along.
At the same time, the fans were stunned.
Many of them have not paid attention to the 'Personality Publicity' Weibo, and only listened to the 'Voice of the Premier League' program at the recommendation of a friend.
Now they all feel very incredible when they hear Zhang Yang's accurate prediction of the goal, and also predict that it will be the Liverpool midfielder who will complete the goal.
So they went to the 'personality publicity' Weibo to leave messages.
"It's incredible! He's right! β
"Sure enough, it's capable! It's so much better than those so-called football legends! β
"That's what a football guest is called!"
"There is a level!"
Zhang Yang's Weibo suddenly had hundreds of more comments, and the number of fans is also growing rapidly.
The game continues, and so does the show.
The final minute of the first half was a dull affair for both sides, with Arsenal having to play a little more solid in order to ensure they didn't concede any more goals, while Liverpool couldn't find another chance.
During the half-time break, music was also played on the 'Voices of the Premier League' programme.
While resting, Dennis and Zhang Yang summarized the past time, and the cooperation between the two was much more tacit than last week, and there were no major problems in the middle.
After sorting out the language, the program returned to the radio hall.
The two continued their commentary.
The narration of the show has always been dominated by Denis, who is the host of the show and is responsible for mediating the progress with words at the right time.
It's her job.
When the language of the show is detached from the ongoing competition, it can show the level of Denise, and the language she uses is humorous and does not seem to have stage fright at all.
This has something to do with her well-prepared for the show, and it also has to do with her talent as a host.
Outside the glass wall, Carl Ross and the others couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Denise and give her a positive attitude towards her ability.
"She's a natural host!"
"But I think she's more suited to hosting entertainment than sports, football, which is a show for male hosts."
Carl Ross emphasised: "The Voice of the Premier League is planned to be dominated by female hosts, and the rest of the football broadcasters are all male hosts, so our show has to have a special place to compete. β
"That's right."
Several others nodded in agreement.
As the second half began, the topic of the show also returned to the game.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Yang analyzed, "Arsenal's performance in the first half was not good, and manager Arsene Wenger will definitely adjust his tactics and style of play, and we may be able to expect Arsenal's performance." β
In the game, Arsenal picked up the tempo.
As soon as the tempo of the game picked up, it became intense, with Arsenal being strong on the left, with Ashley Cole, Andre Pire and Thierry Henry continuing to attack Liverpool's right flank.
In the 53rd minute, Zhang Yang predicted the goal again, "At this stage of the game, Arsenal's attack has been solidified, while Liverpool will think that it is the most dangerous time to adapt to the attacking intensity." β
This sentence is not clear.
But many fans interpret it as Arsenal is about to score.
Just three minutes later, Thierry Henry and Pire's cross on the left flank found the ball at the feet of Patrick Vieira in the box, where the Arsenal captain cleverly lobled into the net.
"It's 1 to 1!"
'I may have made a mistake because it seemed to be Arsenal's first shot of the game!' Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Dennis followed up and said, "You've done a good job, no one thought Arsenal would take so long to shoot. β
"yes, there's a lot of things that can be unpredictable in football."
In the casual commentary between the two, the game was very intense, but neither team scored, and it was not until the 88th minute of the game, when it was about to enter injury time, Dennis asked, "Do you think the game will end in a draw?" β
Zhang Yang smiled, "That depends on the situation, but I personally don't think so." β
"You mean, there will be goals in the game?"
"Yes."
"Which team will it be?"
'From both teams' point of view, the game has come to this point where neither of them wants a draw. So when the game enters the final moment, it will become more intense. If I had to pick a team to score, I would still be bullish on Liverpool at home. In the past period, Arsenal's offensive has been a little too impatient. β
The flamboyant prediction caused a heated discussion among fans.
In the last three minutes, the 'personality' Weibo was about to be blown up, and many fans who listened to the show went to Weibo to leave messages, and they also had a heated discussion under the Weibo promoting the 'Voice of the Premier League' program.
"Liverpool want to score? No way! β
"I hope the blogger is right! Liverpool must score! β
"The game is almost over, I guess this time the blogger made a wrong prediction!"
"This time must be good!"
"I've always been looking forward to seeing bloggers make mistakes, and that proves that bloggers are just ordinary mortals. Just like us......"
ββ¦β¦β
There is a discussion of mistakes at the bottom, especially when the game enters stoppage time, and as the remaining time becomes less and less, the referee seems to be able to blow the whistle at the end of the game at any time, and the comments on Weibo are even hotter.
Almost all fans have already concluded that this judgment must be wrong.
But at the last minute of the game, the referee had already put the whistle in his mouth, and Liverpool striker Melo gambled on his luck and kicked a long-range shot from 25 meters away.
The ball hit with maximum force, rushed through the penalty area in an instant, and appeared in the goal.
Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann was unresponsive.
All the fans were stunned!
