Chapter 508: Another City
"It's beautiful!" Seeing Roberto Firmino's escape, the Liverpool commentator exclaimed: "At a moment like this, the team needs players like that, don't be intimidated by Chelsea's attack. ”
The fluent Liverpool fans in the stands also cheered loudly for Roberto Firmino's breakthrough, and now they finally found a reason to cheer after the start of the second half.
Firmino just caught a glimpse of Cesc Fabregas coming up to grab the ball, and he deliberately used such a beautiful move to trick his opponent in order to boost the morale of his own team.
However, he soon received the consequences of playing his opponent, and by the time he could react, the football had been snatched from his feet by N'Golo Kante and he himself was tackled to the ground.
"Foul! Foul! Klopp jumped up all of a sudden, he raised his right hand and signaled to the referee, and in the stadium, Firmino, who was tackled to the ground, also sat on the ground and shouted loudly, signaling to the referee: "This is a foul!" ”
However, the whistle did not blow and Skomeina had no problem with Chelsea's counter-attack.
"Skomeina didn't blow for a foul! No fouls!! Chelsea's chance to fight back! The Chelsea commentator was suddenly excited and started shouting loudly.
The commentator saw that it was a good opportunity to fight back, and the Chelsea players on the pitch knew it was a good opportunity!
Jones was trotting back from the Liverpool penalty area, and as soon as he withdrew from the penalty area, he saw this scene and immediately became energetic, and he shouted, "Quick! Golden opportunity! ”
Three players, including Jones, immediately turned and stepped forward to join the attack, including N'Golo Kante, who broke the ball, four were attacking, while Liverpool only had three defenders in the box.
Kodic also rushed out of the dugout, standing on the sidelines and shouting, "Go! ”
Jones started to run to the left, Costa ran to the middle, and the interplay of the two men led the Liverpool players to defence, and Hazard's side naturally lacked focus.
Seeing this, Kante seized the moment and passed the ball accurately in a very timely manner.
It was a close-to-the-ground pass and the ball rolled forward and Hazard accelerated to catch up.
Van Dijk glanced at Jones and Costa and gritted his teeth to pounce on Hazard, who was a bigger threat than the two after the ball anyway, and he had to go up.
Eden Hazard caught up with the football, he didn't stop the ball, he didn't dribble it, he suddenly stabbed it forward!
The force of his stab was a little great, and the ball immediately rolled forward more than ten meters away.
Van Dijk, who came up to defend him, was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hazard to come like this at all, he just rushed over, and the inertia made him unable to stop at all.
Hazard started quickly after poking the football out, and then walked around the stunned Van Dijk before he could react!
By the time Van Dijk wanted to turn around and chase Hazard, it was too late.
"It's beautiful!"
"Clean!"
"Wonderful man and ball."
"Breakthrough! Pretty! Eden Hazard broke through Van Dijk! The Chelsea commentator shouted.
'This is Chelsea's chance! Eden Hazard continued to dribble the ball and he dribbled into the box! ”
"Shot ......"
Hazard did not choose to shoot, but directly followed the situation and passed the ball horizontally, and the inserted Costa did not stop the ball, and directly volleyed vigorously!
The shot was powerful and fast, and Karius had just focused on Hazard, and there was nothing he could do about it, he couldn't stop it from rushing past the goal!
As the ball crossed the goal line and lifted the net, the live broadcast at Stamford Bridge was heard with the commentator's excited shouts: "gooooooooo............ The ball is in! ”
The whole Stamford Bridge was boiling in an instant, and this goal was a reassuring goal for the team, who had already seen the final and waved to them!
The Chelsea commentator shouted, 'Costa scored with 68 minutes played!' 2 to 1! On aggregate, 6-5, Chelsea put the score out! Liverpool need 2 more goals to qualify for the final! They don't stand a chance! ”
'It was a crucial goal! It was a similar goal to Jones' first goal of the day, just as exciting!
Costa appears at the most suitable spot and shoots straight with his feet!! Costa has proven himself once again! He's a star you can trust! ”
Countless fans in the stands jumped to their feet and shouted: "Chelsea! Chelsea! Costa! Costa! ”
Costa's goal showed everyone the future of Chelsea's qualification to the final, how could it not be exciting.
Seeing the football fly into the net, Costa rushed directly into the goal, he picked up the football and ran back, waving his fist and roaring loudly as he ran: "Keep attacking!" Don't give them a chance! ”
…………
Liverpool's dugout was silent, they didn't know what to say, just like the tactics prepared by Klopp before the game, Liverpool's back line can be said to be the focus of Jones' defense, Rao is so, he still scored a goal in the first half.
The defence against Jones was tighter in the second half, but Chelsea still had two natural goalscorers in Costa and Eden Hazard!
The score is now 2-1 and 6-5 on aggregate, but Chelsea have four away goals, so the score is too bad for Liverpool now and they need to score two goals now and make sure they don't concede.
It was clear that Chelsea would continue to attack in search of goals, with Jurgen Klopp calling captain Jordan Henderson to the sidelines and saying: "The situation is that we are trying to avoid conceding any more goals. ”
Henderson nodded as he drank his water, indicating that he understood.
"But you can't just defend, we have to score two goals to qualify for the final! The final is just around the corner and we can't give up! Klopp continued.
Henderson looked up at his manager, who continued: "You tell everybody to defend and fight hard, but if there's an opportunity to counter-attack, be bold and try to score!" ”
Henderson nodded back, "Got it, Coach!" ”
Seeing Henderson return to the pitch and convey his tactics to his team-mates, although the goal was a disadvantage for Liverpool, they were not without chances! With two goals, he still has some confidence in his heart, but now the team can't concede any more goals!
As Jurgen Klopp had guessed, Chelsea continued to attack again after the game started in the centre circle again, and it was clear that Chelsea wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to win the game once and for all.
Eden Hazard played a wall-to-wall link with Cesc Fabregas up front, continuing along the flanks for some distance before passing the ball horizontally to Costa, who moved the ball wide and the ball was moved to the other side of the pitch.
Jones used his chest to stop the ball as Alonso slid in quickly from behind him, and he was going to make a match with Jones.
Robertson, who was about to come up to interfere with Jones, saw Alonso plugging in at high speed, and quickly turned and retreated, while handing over the responsibility of containing Jones' advance to Chamberlain.
And just as Robertson turned to Alonso, and Oxlade-Chamberlain was about to come over to defend Jones, Jones suddenly got up and crossed!
