12. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Not long after Liverpool's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. In the first half of the game, the Liverpool fans were very happy.
1-0, at the end of the first half, Liverpool temporarily led Aston Villa 1-0 away, which gave Liverpool a good start to the new season.
However, it is clear that Aston Villa is feeling very unhappy at this time, this is their Aston Villa territory, this is Villa Park, they can't accept this result.
Over the course of the first half, they were still very good at Aston Villa, and on a couple of occasions they came close to finding the back of the net against Liverpool. Abang Laho wasted a few chances, and if he could have taken one, it would have been a different result.
At half-time, Martin 61 O'Neill emphasised defence, especially in the middle. Liverpool's midfield trio is simply tough. And this is still in the case of Gerrard not playing, if Gerrard plays again, they Aston Villa are really finished.
Soon, the fifteen-minute break of halftime passed, and the second half officially began. It was the home team Aston Villa who kicked off, and they immediately attacked, but they seemed to have a hard time getting through the midfield, and Gerrard and Qiu Ze seemed to have changed roles at this time, they were like meat grinders in the midfield.
Seeing Qiu Ze and Gerrard behaving like this, the BBC commentator couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply a terrible thing, how can you let two very talented guys in attack be a meat grinder?" Benitez is a waste. ”
Liverpool's change also had a very good effect, temporarily stopping Aston Villa's momentum of wanting to fight back, because their defense in the middle was too tight. However, at this time, it seems that Liverpool also struggled to organise an effective attack, and Aston Villa's defense was also very tight, especially in the middle.
The two teams began to fight in the middle of the midfield, and they all participated in the ranks of grabbing the midfield. Time flew by, and soon the second half was fifteen minutes into the game.
However, after the start of the second half, the total number of shots on goal from both sides was only once, and it was a long-range shot from Kalou, which made fans on both sides anxious.
At this moment, Xavi 61 Alonso had just received a pass from the back and was about to turn around, when Aston Villa's defender Clegg 61 Gardner quickly rushed out from behind and stretched out his leg to cut off the ball. After breaking the ball, Clegg 61 Gardner passed the ball directly to Abonlaho in front.
Abang Lajo was holding the ball with his back on the edge of Liverpool's penalty area, and Liverpool's centre-back Daniel 61 Agger held him tightly, and he had little hope of turning around.
Seeing that there was no hope of turning, Abang Raho quickly knocked the ball back as Ashley 61 Jan was cutting forward at high speed. Gerrard saw Abang Lajo take the ball, and he immediately pounced to assist Daniel 61 Ague in defending, but at this point, Abang Laho passed the ball and the ball rolled past him quickly.
The ball quickly rolled towards Ashley 61 Young, and Ashley 61 Young, who was inserted at high speed, looked up at the situation in the Liverpool penalty area, and he rushed to the ball quickly, without stopping the ball, and directly met the ball with a volley.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and Ashley 61 Young hit the ball fiercely. The ball bounced out of his feet like a white light and shot towards the goal.
"Long Shot ......," the BBC commentator John 61 Mortenson opened his throat and roared excitedly.
Ashley 61 Young seems to have rarely shot from distance before, but that doesn't mean that this guy's long-range shooting ability is not good. The guy did have a very nice long-range shot, and this time, the guy ate the part accurately, and the ball shot straight at the Liverpool goal like a Scud.
The Aston Villa fans were so excited that they stood up and started cheering.
The ball flashed like a white light and rushed towards the goal. The ball slid past the Liverpool defenders like the wind and sprinted quickly towards goal.
Reina in front of the goal flew out at the first time, but the opponent's shot was very fast and the angle was very awkward, which completely exceeded Reina's expectations, even if the Spanish goalkeeper Casillas appeared in his position, he couldn't save the ball.
The ball flew in front of Reina's hands like a white light and smashed into the bottom right corner of the goal. Englishman Ashley 61 Young blasted Liverpool open of the net with a heavy shot.
"The ball is in! Ball in, in! The BBC's commentator, John 61 Mortson, roared again with excitement, his voice filled with excitement, too excited.
The Aston Villa fans were also very excited, cheering and shouting hoarsely. Some guys even cried with joy, which was perfect.
At 1-1, in the twentieth minute of the second half, Aston Villa equalised. The Liverpool fans frowned, they hadn't been happy for long, and now they were beaten by the Aston Villa players, and they were very uncomfortable.
On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach Benitez also frowned at this time, could it be that the curse of this first-round winless run will continue? Benitez kept his eyes glued to the inside of the pitch, wondering what this guy was thinking?
This result is obviously unacceptable to the Liverpudlians, the game is not over yet, they will not give up, for the sake of victory, fight.
After the game restarted, the Liverpool team obviously strengthened the attack, and it was a combination of side and center, which made Aston Villa's defenders feel a little unguardable, and gradually Liverpool's attack also opened, and for a while the court was in turmoil, which was very dangerous.
And Aston Villa's attack also improved, and at this time, both sides opened up, hoping to get a victory for Zuihou. Now the situation in the stadium is intense, and the fans on both sides are very anxious and nervous.
The managers of both sides couldn't sit still at this time, and they stood on the sidelines to direct the game, and now it was the most critical moment of the game.
At the back, Aston Villa's backfield suddenly made a long pass, directly to Karui in front. However, Qiu Ze jumped first, jumped high, and pushed the football out of the sideline.
Touchline ball, Aston Villa touchline ball, the full-backs of Aston Villa immediately rushed up, ready to send this touchline ball.
Qiu Ze stared at the players who were about to send the sideline ball with an expressionless face, the current situation is very critical, both teams have a chance, if they are a little careless, they can't say that the victory of Zuihou in this game will be far away from them, so at this time, the players on both sides are very concentrated.
Soon the ball was tossed by Bouma and it rolled quickly towards wing-back Ashley 61 Young. At this time, Qiu Ze quickly pasted it, used his body to resist the other party, did not let the other party turn around, and quickly squeezed Ashley 61 out.
Yu Guang saw Qiu Ze sticking up, and Ashley 61 raised his eyebrows and frowned. Ashley 61 Young certainly knows how strong the body of this guy behind him is, and his weak body is not Qiu Ze's opponent at all. Feeling the huge energy behind him, Ashley 61 Yang's feet trembled a little, this guy's liliang is simply too big, so big that he can't stand it anymore.
Ashley 61 Young pressed his body back as far as he could, and he wanted to lean against Qiu Ze's body. Because he had been a little irresistible by Qiu Ze, his body was shaky, as if he was going to fall down in the next moment. At this time, Ashley 61 Yang raised his head, he was looking for the ball point, he really couldn't resist, he wanted to pass the football away, and he didn't want to fight Qiu Ze anymore.
But at this moment, the strong force behind him suddenly retreated, and Ashley 61 Yang felt a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on in Ga. At this moment, a red figure quickly circled in front of him and snatched the ball.
"Steal! Chris steals Ashley 61 Young! Liverpool fans saw Qiu Ze bypass Ashley 61 and snatch the ball, their hearts pounded, and their hearts kept repeating the words. And the eyes of Liverpool, who supported Qiu Ze, flashed inexplicably
Ashley 61 Young watched the big "10" on the back of the red figure slowly shrink, and he lost his mind for a while. By this time, he didn't understand how this guy had come from behind him to him, and his eyes were full of confusion.
However, the fans at the scene saw it very clearly, Qiu Ze seemed to push forward Ashley 61 Yang fiercely, making Ashley 61 Yang's thin side sway. In fact, this is all Qiu Ze confusing Ashley 61 Young, he didn't want to knock Ashley 61 Young to the ground, in that case he would have fouled.
He just wants Ashley 61 Young to form inertia, so that Ashley 61 Young always thinks that Qiu Ze is behind him. Then the guy suddenly went around and robbed Ashley 61 of the soccer ball at his feet. The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately erupted in a scorching cheer.
Robbing the ball, Qiu Ze drove at full speed like a red Ferrari sports car, and rushed to the Aston Villa half with the sound of whistling wind. In the blink of an eye, Qiu Ze passed through the midfield and into the Aston Villa half.
Counterattack! Quick counterattack!
At the scene, the Liverpool fans were excited, they stood up one after another, shouted at Qiu Ze frantically, shouted Qiu Ze rushed forward frantically, and taught the Aston Villa people a lesson.
Now the fans of Aston Villa are very nervous, because Qiu Ze's speed is too fast, like a red lightning bolt in the stadium, which makes them feel very scared, very worried, this is too dangerous.
Qiu Ze, who rushed up, discovered the emptiness of the Aston Villa half early on, and there were only four people in such a large half. One is the goalkeeper of Aston Villa, however, he is standing rigidly in the Aston Villa penalty area. One is Aston Villa's centre-back Melberg, who is also at the edge of the penalty area and is not yet a threat to Qiu Ze. The other two are Aston Villa's centre-back Laursen and full-back Bouma, as Gareth 61 Barry has already assisted up front.
Therefore, at this time, Qiu Zede's eyes were very empty, and this was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Liverpool fans were excited, stood up and cheered wildly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. By capitalising on this opportunity, Liverpool will be able to claim victory in this half, thus breaking the curse of four consecutive seasons without a win in the first round.
Liverpool fans began to cheer for Qiu Ze like crazy, hoping that Qiu Ze could use his speed and jishu to completely crush Aston Villa and they want to win. The Liverpool fans shouted loudly, roared and were very excited.
