Chapter 310: Flying Immortals Outside the Sky
Shen Peng was like a ghost, constantly wandering outside the Liverpool penalty area, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
At this time, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines for four minutes of injury time.
Liverpool's players breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, and the first half was finally coming to an end.
It was almost half an hour, and many of them felt more tired than playing a full game.
Of course, they were so tired and fruitful, successfully preventing Manchester United's attack, and also ensuring that they were only one goal behind, and after the second-half adjustment, there was still a kick.
Manchester United's players have not scored after such a long siege, and some players are also a little anxious, such as Pogba, who has tried a few long-range shots, but they are either blocked by the Liverpool defenders or shoot out of the woodwork.
At this time, seeing that the first half is coming to an end, if the score is still 2-1 after the end of the first half, this is an acceptable result for Liverpool; Manchester United, on the other hand, is a little unacceptable, they have been attacking for 30 minutes without scoring, in addition to consuming a lot of physical energy, morale will also be frustrated.
Pogba dribbled the ball at this time, did not shake off Henderson, who was defending him, and after a stalemate between the two for a while, Pogba suddenly got up and shot again!
The ball was powerful and heavy, but firstly, the angle of the ball was not tricky, and secondly, the Liverpool defenders had already been prepared, so the ball had no effect, and Lovren in the penalty area saw the opportunity and stretched out his foot to block the ball.
The strong rebound force makes the ball fly high.
At this time, the referee also put the whistle in his mouth and kept looking at his watch, obviously, stoppage time was almost up.
The ball was clearly cleared, so most people thought the first half was over.
Tuchel breathed a sigh of relief and now had a detailed plan in mind for the second half, which would have put his side on top of the scoreline in the second half.
However, when he looked at the landing point of the ball, he was suddenly surprised, because he found that Shen Peng was actually looking at the falling ball and adjusting his position!
What does he want to do?
I didn't have time to think about it, because at this time, the ball had already fallen not far above Shen Peng's head, and Shen Peng also rounded his right leg at this time.
When the ball landed next to him, his right leg smashed the ball and shot straight at the goal!
At this time, there were a lot of people in the Liverpool penalty area, but the ball was like an arrow through the clouds, drilling through the gap of these players, flying straight into the corner of the goal, although the goalkeeper Mignolet made a save, but his hand was not long enough, did not touch the ball at all.
Three to one.
The referee signalled that the goal was valid and blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Manchester United scored at the end of the first half! It was Shen Peng who scored the goal, and Shen Peng completed a hat trick in only half a time in this game!
"Beautiful goal! Shen Peng's kick of flying immortals outside the sky completely shattered Liverpool's confidence, you look at their eyes, they are full of despair! Now, Shen Peng is the god of this game! He's the one who dominates the game! ”
The commentary is blowing frantically, although the actual situation is not as exaggerated as he said, but Liverpool's players are indeed a little uncomfortable - anyone who faces this situation of holding on for half an hour but finally being scored will not be in a good mood.
Tuchel smiled wryly when he saw it, and it seemed that he had more to do at half-time.
After Shen Peng celebrated with his teammates, he also returned to the locker room together.
Now, Shen Peng's task has been partially completed, and only "leading by three goals to win" remains, and after completion, Lival's task can be completely completed.
Jose Mourinho was pleased with Liverpool's two-goal lead in the first half, with the midfielder not shy about complimenting his players.
Of course, as a coach, he still has to analyze some deficiencies in the first half, so he took out a small book and analyzed some problems of the players in the first half one by one......
Tuchel, on the other hand, looked much more serious.
If they were only one goal down, they were ready to attack at the beginning of the second half, try to get back the score as quickly as possible, and then return to the same running line on both sides and continue to compete with each other - with Liverpool's attacking power now, it is not difficult to do.
But now in this way, they must score two goals in a row, even if the opponent is caught off guard to pull back a goal, in the second goal, with Mourinho's cunning, he will not miss this opportunity, let Shen Peng wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and then maybe they have not scored the second goal, Shen Peng will score again.
He didn't want the team to become the background for Shen Peng's senior year.
After thinking about it, he decided to make a surprise move to pull one goal back, and as for the second goal, he played it steadily.
"At the start of the second half, according to what we used to train, find a way to score as fast as possible!"
The team members all nodded when they heard this, revealing a look of understanding.
……
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the players on both sides returned to the pitch.
Since it was Manchester United who served first in the first half, Liverpool served in the second half.
Liverpool's players organized a wave of attacks at the beginning, and this time their attack avoided Shen Peng's side and went to the left instead.
Their attack was quite sharp and it was quickly passed to the United half, where Lallana went around Valencia on the flank and crossed straight with his feet!
Origi received a pass in the middle and leaned on Jones to stop the ball with his chest, but Jones kept interfering with him to prevent him from shooting, even if he was rushed out of the way, the quality of the shot was not high, which was equivalent to giving the ball to De Gea.
So at that moment, without warning, he slammed his foot and the ball passed through the legs of Jones, who was defending him behind him, and rolled behind them, where Firmino suddenly ran out and shot the ball into the corner of the goal, and De Gea could not do anything.
Liverpool pulled back a point in less than a minute of the second half, 3-2!
Tuchel waved his hand excitedly, an attacking routine they had trained before, and it took a bit of luck to pull it off, but luckily now they used it the first time and it worked!
It was a crucial goal that gave the Liverpool players hope of an equaliser and a big morale boost.
Mourinho also hurriedly instructed his players to pay attention to defending each attacking player at this time, so as not to repeat the situation just now, and now they are still ahead, as long as they hold on, they can get a victory.
The other players and coaches were already satisfied with this score, but Shen Peng was not, because of Liverpool's goal, he now has to help the team score at least two goals.
Lever's task was indeed difficult.
