Chapter 474: Playing an important role
David Villa, who was at the front, was completely caught up in the muscular defence of Carragher and Agger, and did nothing, and Valencia's threatening attacks were all completed by continuous passes through Guò and long-range shots down the middle.
In other words, Valencia's two strongest attack points have not done anything to defend in the case of Liverpool's sacrificial attack, but compared to David Villa's situation, Ailo seems much freer, because before the game, Flores made it clear that this game gives him absolute freedom.
After nearly two seasons of training in Valencia, Flores has his own set of ways to tap the potential of players, and as Iro's ability becomes more and more comprehensive, if he is completely limited to the left wing, although it will be of great help to the team's attack, it will make him lose his spirit and lose more room for improvement.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed in the game, and the cheers from the stands of the Mestalla Stadium were still loud, and the loudest shout was Iro, who was the king in this stadium!
Two minutes later, Iroh moved to the right of his attack, while David Silva moved to a second striker, behind David Villa, to make space on the right for Iroh to break through or pass.
In the face of the combined defense of Reese and Mascherano, Iroh was not timid, and for him now, there is not a single defender who can make him think of retreating.
Iroh took the ball forward, looking at his posture as if he was going to single out Mascherano, and Mascherano also seemed to feel Iro's fighting spirit, took half a step forward, and bent his legs slightly, and lowered the center of gravity of his body to prevent Iroh from suddenly accelerating in disguise.
And in the direction of the baseline is still guarded by Reese, he only needs to worry about whether Iroh will break through the gap between Reeser and Carragher.
When he was still two meters away from Mascherano, Iello suddenly passed the ball to David Silva with the arch of his right foot, and then he was stagnant and ran sideways, and David Silva, who took the ball, took advantage of the situation and used the outside of his left foot to move the ball to the left side of his body, and even stopped, facing the direction of Iello's running.
Mascherano immediately realised that this was a precursor for David Silva to pass the ball to Elo, so he did not hesitate to follow the lateral movement and focus part of his attention on David Silva and Elo's passing routes.
But at this moment, after running two steps, Iroh suddenly came to an emergency stop.
Mascherano, who had been following Ailo for half an hour, seemed to have a fluctuation in his physical fitness at this time, and his physical flexibility had decreased significantly compared to the beginning.
At the same time as Iello's body came to an abrupt stop, his body turned at an angle, about 90 degrees, his arms naturally opened to maintain the balance of his body, and his left foot, which was dragging behind, kicked the turf, started on the spot, and ran straight to the rib space between Liverpool's left wing-back Reeser and central defender Carragher.
Sure enough, David Silva used a highly concealed outside of his right foot to play the ball into the gap between Reeser and Carragher in the direction of Elo's quick stop, and the pass was strong, but just right for Iello to start and accelerate.
Mascherano suffered a dark loss in the explosiveness of the start, and when he turned to chase after Iroh again, he was already nearly two positions behind, and it was unrealistic to expect him to catch up with Iro, so Carragher could only choose a good position and run to Iro's in-cut route, leaking the gap between him and Reese, hoping that Iroh would be able to retreat.
But Ello's running path surprised Carragher, or rather, puzzled.
Because when Iroh was chasing the football, he suddenly made another emergency stop, and then exerted his right foot, turned his body, and ran sideways.
At this moment, not only Carragher was puzzled, but even Benitez on the sidelines was also puzzled, did he give up this opportunity?
This is a very rare opportunity......
What are you thinking? I'm Liverpool's manager!!
"Whew-"
Suddenly, the surroundings of the Mestalla Stadium erupted in a tsunami of cheers.
What's going on?
Benitez was still puzzled, but the vision of the home team fans in the stands was very clear, and they clearly saw a figure running through the gap between Agger and Carragher, that is, going around behind Carragher and catching the ball!
※※※
Carragher was still wondering whether to move or not to move.
Because if the football continues to roll according to the current trajectory, there will be no suspense to roll out of the bottom line, if this is really the case, then there is no need to turn around, but ...... This scenario is clearly unlikely.
Then it can only be ......
Carragher's mind suddenly had an image of the ball splitting through the ball, and in the midst of the lightning, he forcibly twisted his waist and turned a 90-degree turn to the left of his body, ready to escort the ball out of the baseline.
But at the same time as he finished turning, a white figure passed in front of him.
"David Villa!!!
Andy Gray looked at the figure in the camera and subconsciously shouted.
Originally, Carragher was ready to subconsciously reach out and pull the jersey, but soon he realized that this was in the penalty area, if David Villa, who was chasing the ball, fell to the ground, then the referee would definitely not turn a blind eye, plus this is their home stadium, in order to avoid an unnecessary incident, he put down his hand and chased after him, he didn't think that Spain international David Villa would choose to shoot directly.
David Villa took two or three steps after crossing Carragher.
When everyone thought that he was going to hold the ball firmly and organize an attack, his left foot stepped on the left front of the football, and then his body 'launched' forward with inertia, using the power of his waist and abdomen to forcibly twist a nearly 120-degree bend in mid-air, and made an inverted triangle return pass at the right foot pass.
However, due to the fact that the whole body was thrown out, the power of the pass was not well controlled, and it was slightly slow.
Carragher didn't react to this sudden change in David Villa, he could only subconsciously turn around and look at the trend of football.
I didn't know this look, but when I was startled, his eyes were about to pop out.
Because...... It's Iroh who goes to football!
The holder of the Champions League single-season goal record!
Whew-w
This was followed by the chanting of 50,000 home fans in the stands, which suddenly erupted and the whole stadium seemed to tremble.
Mascherano took advantage of his agility to take two quick steps forward during the time the ball was running, and then fell straight to the ground and threw his body completely out of the way, trying to block Iro's shot.
Similarly, another central defender, Ager, also took two steps forward and put his arms behind his back to prevent the ball from hitting his hand and awarding a penalty, lowering his body's center of gravity and blocking the eye!
※※※
David Villa...... Well? Pretty! He threw his body out completely, then twisted his waist in the air and passed the ball back!! Do you have teammates? ”
Huang Jianxiang's tone became rapid as the camera switched, and his voice rose an octave, "-Iro! ”
At the same time, Hyde in the live studio also stood up violently, "David Villa passes!!" That's-Ai!! ”
"- Ai!"
The home fans in the stands stood up from their seats with their arms raised above their heads as if the goal had been scored.
In fact, Mascherano and Agg's horizontal and vertical blocks had blocked all of Elo's shots, so ......
Iroh picked up his right foot to meet the ball, and the attention of all the defenders in the penalty area, including goalkeeper Reina, was on him, and at this moment, no one would give up shooting!
Including the home fans in the stands!
Can...... Iroh picked up his right foot but didn't hit the football, or rather, it was a clever miss!
This......
Didn't hit or ...... Deliberately...... A leak?
As the camera cuts, Ballack, wearing the number 13 jersey, appears in the camera, and then rounds his right leg in everyone's surprise.
Ballack faces the missing ball from Iello and shoots straight at goal!
With Mascherano and Ague both deceived by Elo's right-footed shot, Ballack was able to shoot with his feet undisturbed on the line of the penalty area.
The ball flew like a cannonball into the top left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Reina scrambled to move, but the ball flew much faster than he could do, and by the time he made a leap to the right, the ball was already hanging into the net.
After a half-second pause, the cheers of the Mestalla Stadium were followed by a violent chant, and if the chant just now made the stadium tremble, then this chant was a tremor.
The whole stadium shook because of the goal.
“gooooooooooooooooooooal――”
It was about a second before the shouting on the Mestalla Stadium was belated, but no one felt that way at this time, because they were all intoxicated with the joy of scoring goals.
※※※
Ballack, who scored the goal, was very happy, smiled and stretched out his right hand finger to point at Iro, who made a beautiful leak, and then jumped on Iro's waist, Iroh was also ready, and the moment Ballack jumped up, he held his hips, otherwise there would be a scene where Ballack fell to the ground because of the goal.
Ballack flicked his fist at the fans in the stands in excitement.
And the fans in the stands also responded to Ballack frantically, and the whole stadium was full of passionate chanting.
In stark contrast to them, the visiting fans in the stands and the players on the pitch with their heads bowed are dejected, and conceding first in a game like the Champions League semi-finals does not bode well.
Mascherano, who had not yet gotten up after finishing the block, looked up at Iro, he was very unhappy, he had done a very good enough, but he still played a very important role in this goal.
Unwilling!
