712. Be careful with your ass
In the middle of the night on 5 May, Anfield welcomed the second leg of the Europa League semi-final.
In the 27th minute of the game, the stadium, which was close to boiling, instantly became extremely quiet.
In this way, fans are remembering those who passed away 27 years ago, perhaps their family and friends.
A minute later, Anfield was quickly filled with frenzied voices again, as if the previous silence had never been there.
This is the most real life, right?
You can't spend 90 minutes mourning......
Nor can we let sorrow permeate our lives forever.
Let go of the heaviness properly, and you will soon discover more beautiful things.
Like what...... Goal.
“Gooooooooooal!”
Anfield's 70-year-old announcer, George Sefton, once again rehearsed his voice through the loudspeaker, even the surrounding passers-by could hear it.
Accompanied by the passionate sound, in the corner flag area, a big black man is dancing.
Oh sorry, but his dancing style can definitely not be described as "fluttering", because he dances ...... Mechanical Dance.
"Sturridge scored a brace in 30 minutes! Ronshit's through ball gave him a one-on-one chance to face the goalkeeper, and for the striker who was a skilled striker, it was a big pie to the lips! ”
Zhan Tianjun is obviously very relaxed, as his team has already won 3-0 at home, and the aggregate score is 8-1.
Zhang Lu's slightly slow voice also sounded:
"In these knockout rounds, Liverpool turned both legs into a one-game game, and the second leg was purely a rotation of the lineup, a game to hone the youngsters, and often a one-sided goal performance, which may not be interesting for a neutral audience, but for Liverpool fans, this must be their dream."
Zhan Tianjun agreed:
"Yes, although from the point of view of the TV broadcaster, we prefer to see Liverpool score three goals first, and then be equalized by the opponent in a row, and each of them is a man of tension and excitement, but from the perspective of the fans, no one will enjoy the excitement of this big ups and downs, and that kind of excitement, especially for fans who stay up late, is really not good for physical and mental health......"
-
As the commentator said, there was not much suspense in this game.
Just six minutes into the opening period, Liverpool burned the fire into the away team's penalty area, Firmino crossed from the side, and Sturridge, who was about to shoot, was preempted by the opposing defender Bruno, but unfortunately the captain of the Yellow Submarine was unlucky, and kicked the ball directly into the goal with a kick......
Own goal!
Maybe the Villarreal players had a little other idea in their minds before the game started, but when this own goal appeared, they completely woke up!
This is God's will, and you should have no illusions!
Sturridge scored a brace from the next step, Ronshette scored with a pass and a shot, Roberto Firmino also scored, James Milner and Joe Allen each provided an assist as Liverpool went into the break with a 5-0 scoreline.
"Daniel, you have to come on!"
Someone sent a blessing to Sturridge:
"Kill Captain Dragon and take back the Champagne Bar!"
On the football field, champagne is synonymous with the MVP of the match – although not all tournaments are awarded champagne, and some are replaced by a small trophy.
Sturridge is not a fool, although his heart is hot, he did not jump into the big hole dug by his teammates, but maintained a simple smile, put his arm around Long Shute's shoulders and said intimately:
"Captain, thank you for the assist! I'll open up for you in the second half, and you can shoot at will! ”
Long Shute nodded in satisfaction, and then yelled at his teammates who had fanned the flames before:
"Emre, if you don't play a game, are you itching again?"
-
Being a low-key person will definitely pay off.
Sturridge understands this, so he hasn't done anything to steal the show with the big guys since July 2015.
And he paid off.
At the start of the season, Rodgers clearly favoured the new tall centre-forward Benteke, with Sturridge confined to the bench at one point, but as time went on, the two strikers reversed their position in the team.
Of course, in terms of peak form, Sturridge's overall strength is certainly a notch better than Benteke, but everyone knows that his vitreous physique is the biggest obstacle preventing him from becoming a starter.
After all, "three months of recuperation and two minutes on the court" has not happened to him more than once......
Sturridge has suffered three injuries this season, but he's felt a different way than before.
His injury seems to be a little lighter than before, the speed of recovery is also a little faster, and the adaptation speed on the training ground after recovering from the injury is also much faster, in addition, in the game, he can get a more comfortable and more in place pass, he does not need to use his body and the opponent's defender to carry it, as long as he runs out of the opportunity, the next second, he is likely to receive a precise assist from behind!
Like what...... This time in the 56th minute, he had just made an anti-offside move, and Ronjut's through ball grazed Villarreal's defender on the edge of the penalty area!
Sturridge stretched out his foot and paused lightly, and jumped out from behind the yellow submarine's backline with the ball!
Single Knife!
“Hattrick! (Hat-trick!) )”
The announcer at the scene only had time to spit out a single word before it was completely drowned out by even louder cheers!
He didn't even have time to broadcast the current score: 6-0!
-
Even though Sturridge kept his head low for 56 minutes, he couldn't help but be overjoyed after completing his hat-trick.
He chose to celebrate his hard-earned hat-trick with a dashing kneeling in front of 40,000 Reds fans!
After all, he is not a dragon day, and an average of three goals per game is just the minimum consumption. He's been waiting for almost three years for this hat-trick!
After Suarez's departure, he finally waited for another more powerful partner!
-
Firmino was about to take Sturridge to the ground to celebrate, only to see his team-mate wave his hand at him with a solemn face, and then cover his ass with the other......
For this action, Rodgers on the sidelines must be no stranger to it.
“Sh*t!”
The team doctors on the bench scrambled to smash their water bottles to the ground.
On a cloud! After joy comes sorrow!
Sturridge's hip muscles...... Sprained during the celebration!
-
Looking at Sturridge, who was holding his ass and leaving the scene gloomily, Long Shut was also helpless.
He had envisioned using the Light's skills on the striker, but the system told him that Sturridge, unlike Kaka, Bud, and Shaarawy, was born with a fragile constitution, and even when he returned to peak form, it would be difficult to maintain long-term health......
So Long Shute had no choice but to give up.
I can only hope that the scarred striker can stay healthy for a little longer!
-
Perhaps the 6-0 deficit was enough, or perhaps it was the injury of a team-mate that reminded everyone that the rest of Liverpool's players had slowed down slightly after 60 minutes.
Only Long Shute still did not stop the pace of attacking.
It turns out that a person who tries to attack, in 99.9999% of the time, is useless.
But...... Ronshette was the top of the million-dollar footballers.
While his teammates were ready to play the wellness ball for a while, Long Shute did not relax.
He then turned into strikers, while Joe Allen and substitute Jordan Henderson used their long balls to loosen the ball for him.
The two teammates were clearly not at the same level compared to his own long passing skills, and Henderson even kicked the ball out of the bottom line.
But it's easier to have someone pass the ball than to force a breakthrough alone, relying on two not very reliable teammates, Long Shute stubbornly brushed up two goals in 20 minutes, and then finished his mission contentedly.
8-0 at home, 15-1 over two legs, Liverpool have crossed the final hurdle to the Europa League final and their next target is ...... It's St. Jacob's Park Course in Basel, Switzerland!
