Chapter 302: Winning the Championship!

Ataturk Stadium.

All eyes were on the Chelsea goal, and the moment the ball flew into the goal, the pitch went silent.

Many people have a brief period of absence.

Even though the game was surprising, they didn't expect Liverpool to be able to break down Chelsea.

Who can beat Chelsea twice in a season, perhaps? Counting the 38 rounds of the league, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Champions League, there has never been a situation where Chelsea have not scored, conceded two goals in a row, and there has never been a situation.

Now, there it is.

Liverpool scored the second goal!

Lineker, a commentator on Sky TV in the UK and a legendary star in England, couldn't help but let out a surprised shout, "The ball is in?!" Yes, the ball is in! Smitchell! He scored the second goal! ”

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”

With a long roar, the whole stadium boiled like boiling water.

Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea!

This is something that Liverpool fans could not have imagined before the game, and many Liverpool fans are still a little dazed at this time, and they are unbelievable that the team can perform so well.

When they reacted, they immediately let out a cry of excitement.

The hundreds, thousands, of the media reporters who entered the stadium all felt incredible, the game was actually happening in front of them, but most of their analysis of the game before the game thought that Chelsea would win, and in terms of the situation, it was difficult for both teams to score.

'It's easy for the game to drag on to penalties.' This is a common view.

What now?

After Smitchell's second goal, it was conceivable that Chelsea's chances of winning were slim.

Smitchell became a hero!

He scored two goals individually and became a hero to the Liverpool fans, and at the same time he was also the hero of the entire Liverpool team, all the players ran over excitedly, even the goalkeeper rushed out of dozens of meters, about to run to the halfway line, Smitchell and every teammate hugged warmly, he was simply so excited.

Two goals!

Just being able to play in the Champions League final made Smitchell excited enough that he never dreamed that he would be able to score two goals in the game.

What happens after the race?

Liverpool will win the Champions League, and he will be the biggest contributor to Liverpool's victory!

This moment can be forgotten about the depression of the past season.

Throughout the season, Smitchell existed as a striker substitute, he changed from midfielder to striker, although he maintained a good efficiency, but the number of appearances was limited, many people felt that his days at Liverpool had come to an end, and a season of depression also made Smitchell have plans to leave.

But with this game alone, what is that?

From today onwards, all Liverpool fans will remember him, for years, ten years, maybe decades, the fans will remember him, he is not an ordinary player, but a hero.

After the game, the club will definitely consider renewing his contract, not only his performance, but also his impact on Liverpool fans, if Liverpool win the championship and drive away the hero, the fans will definitely not agree.

The Liverpool dugout was also excited, and Benitez couldn't maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, and he was dancing with excitement just like the rest of the players.

This is Benitez's coaching career, ushered in the first Champions League final, both for Liverpool and himself, and Chelsea, Liverpool did not have any advantage, but did not expect the team to perform so well, Smitchell performed well, he sighed before the game to follow the advice of the young Chinese, let Smitchell start, otherwise it would be difficult for Liverpool to play the current situation.

The second goal was so crucial!

Liverpool have a one-goal lead over Chelsea, and it is difficult to say that they can win, after all, one goal is too easy to catch up, but two goals are different, and it is too difficult for Chelsea to pursue the score.

Now Liverpool have one hand on the trophy.

The thought of the trophy also turned red, Benitez just clenched his fists, swung forward fiercely, and hugged everyone around him, like a complete ordinary fan, not a rather personable manager.

He didn't care about his demeanor anymore.

Sami Lee stood aside, and when he saw Smitchell's goal, he also thought of Shen Yang, because it was Shen Yang who suggested that Smitchell play, and he still had the right opinion.

But what can be said now?

Smitchell will undoubtedly be Liverpool's best performer because he scored two goals individually!

This is also a testament to the ability of that young Chinese.

Not only that special form training, but even the advice to the manager was so effective, coupled with the news that the young Chinese had just reported that Frank Lampard was injured, and the goal could be said to have a large part of his credit, Sami Lee suddenly began to have mixed worries.

At the same time, Frank Lampard on the pitch was feeling sad.

Liverpool's goal just now is undoubtedly related to his defensive failure, in the head-to-head confrontation with Gerrard, he is at an absolute disadvantage, which is related to the injury of the bare foot, but in the Champions League final, regardless of whether the player is injured or not, both teams are doing their best, disdainful of all means to win, and a large part of the reason for conceding the goal is on him, he has become a sinner for Chelsea.

Watching the Liverpool players celebrate excitedly, Lampard clasped his hands to his cheeks in a sense of loss and pain.

Eventually, he chose to go to the coach's bench.

The rest of his teammates didn't know what he was going to do, and some teammates came to comfort him, and when he got to the coach's seat, Mourinho also came over to ask suspiciously.

In Mourinho's view, the goal conceded was indeed the reason for Lampard's defensive mistakes, but that was not the only reason, Lampard's performance in the second half was average, but he was also one of his most trusted players, and it was certainly better to stay on the pitch than to go off.

But he didn't expect Lampard to say, 'Sorry, boss, I'm hurt. ”

"Hurt?"

Jose Mourinho became nervous and asked the doctor to show Frank Lampard, but he had no intention of sending him off.

If it's a simple minor injury, you can continue to hold on.

Lampard shook his head, 'It got bad, it hurts and I don't think I can continue playing. Sorry......"

Mourinho looked at Lampard closely, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course."

Mourinho sighed.

He really didn't want to accept the fact that Frank Lampard was injured, but Frank Lampard's performance just now was indeed a little worse, and now he has made it clear that he can't continue to play, and he can only choose to make a substitution.

That's bad news for Chelsea.

The current two-goal deficit has put Chelsea in absolute passivity, and Frank Lampard is injured again, how much hope does Chelsea have of equalising?

It's very slim.

Mourinho's eyes are determined, giving confidence to every player, but he also has to admit that Chelsea have lost most of the games.

The only thing left to do is to give it a go!

That's what Chelsea are used to.

In the past season, Chelsea have also fallen behind first, and there have been times when they have not scored for a long time, and whenever this time comes, Chelsea will launch a stormy attack, which is like a gamble, but football games are originally bet-bets, and if you can fight hard, you can win the final victory, otherwise you can only accept defeat, but in any case it is better than nothing.

After the restart, Mourinho opted to bring on Joe Cole.

Joe Cole is a wing-back who can also play as a striker.

With two goals down, Joe Cole will play very far forward, and Chelsea have changed from 433 to 424, and the two wings can also be said to be 244, an extreme attacking formation, which is aimed at scoring goals as soon as possible.

Chelsea also launched an undefensive attack against Liverpool in an extreme formation.

Liverpool's defence is up for a challenge.

After Smitchell scored the second goal for Liverpool, Benitez has already explained the defense, and the next time for Liverpool, the main thing is how to hold the advantage, not expand the advantage, as long as Chelsea does not score in a short time, Liverpool can basically win.

The two sides began a confrontation of offense and defense.

What followed was perhaps the most open game Chelsea had since the start of the season, with them attacking regardless of defence, often leaving only one defender at half-time and the rest of the players pressing.

This kind of attacking also made it impossible for Liverpool to launch a counter-attack, and football was spent in the Liverpool half of the pitch for most of the time.

Everyone at Chelsea wants their team to score as soon as possible, while Liverpool want their team to hold on to the scoresheet.

The intensity of the game also aroused the enthusiasm of everyone on the court, and the shouts in the audience never stopped, and every minute and second seemed to become extremely precious and difficult for the players running on the field.

Grandstand fence on the east side of the course.

Shen Yang was still sitting there, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Peter Kenyan, "It seems that Liverpool has won." ”

"Oh?" Peter Kenyon was noncommittal, "There's still twenty minutes left." ”

'Even if there are 30 minutes, 40 minutes, Chelsea can't win.' Shen Yang said with great certainty.

Peter Kenyon looked at him in surprise.

Shen Yang smiled, "I don't know much about football, but I know that teams that are in better form can often win games, in my opinion, Chelsea has started to be impatient, you can look at their error rate, there are always mistakes, it is too difficult to complete the goal." But I don't think it's because Chelsea lost because of how the game went, in fact, when I left the club, the outcome was already sealed. ”

Peter Kenyon shook his head with a bitter smile, "I've heard that Chinese are very modest, but you are a special one." ”

"Is this a compliment? I'll take it as a compliment, but I'm confident that when every Liverpool player is in great shape, how can Chelsea win? It's like the game now, Chelsea are attacking fiercely and are in possession for most of the time, but so what? So far, they have not created a threat. Liverpool's goalkeeper hasn't played yet. ”

"Maybe you're right."

Peter Kenyon said that he was very interested in Shen Yang, "Maybe Mourinho missed the cooperation with you, it is indeed a mistake, but I am very interested in your training." I've seen reports in the media that it's 'state training', right? Keep the players in shape. ”

"Yes."

'If you had the opportunity in the future, would you still choose to work with Chelsea?' Peter Kenyon asked.

Shen Yang smiled, "My football training group belongs to the Yangyang Sports Center, and this brand has nothing to do with Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid or any other club. ”

"I remember." Peter Kenyon took the initiative to reach out, "We will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

The two held hands together.

In the conversation between the two, the time passed quickly, with Liverpool holding on to the goal for more than 20 minutes, including stoppage time, with five minutes to go.

That's when the game took a turn.

Liverpool centre-back Hyypia was a little big when defending Drogba, and Drogba instantly fell on the grass.

The referee awarded Chelsea a penalty.

Didier Drogba then managed to put Chelsea on the back foot, and after that goal, Chelsea saw their hopes of equalising again, and they were even more aggressive.

Unfortunately, there is not much time left.

At the end of the game, even if the Chelsea players were not in good shape, it was difficult to do the same as before, and they tried to keep attacking, but many of them couldn't run.

Liverpool's defense was still very tight, and in the end they took the opportunity to play several waves of counter-attacks, and once allowed Xavi Alonso to get a one-on-one chance, which made the Chelseas break out in a cold sweat, but in the end Liverpool did not score, and neither did Chelsea.

The minutes ticked by.

One minute.

30 seconds.

10 seconds.

After a kick-off on the wing, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the scoreboard stated the result.

2:1。

"It's over! It's over! Liverpool veteran Smitchell scored twice to help his side score two goals. Chelsea striker Didier Drogba scored a penalty. The score was 2-1, with Liverpool beating Chelsea to win the match and they also won the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League! ”

"This is a great champion! After 30 years, Liverpool is once again at the top of Europe! ”

"This is a championship that belongs to Liverpool FC and a championship that belongs to all Liverpudlians!"

"This moment will be remembered by history, this moment has brought tears to the eyes of all Liverpudlians, we came to see the scene, many fans could not help but be excited, their eyes were red, they were cheering for Liverpool to win the championship......"

"We would like to congratulate Liverpool on their journey to winning the Champions League, they have won the title and everyone has been touched by their title – congratulations to Liverpool for winning the UEFA Champions League! They reached the finish line and walked to the throne of European champions......"
