It wasn't until Valencia's players ended their celebration under the interference of the referee that Huang Jianxiang reacted, "Friends from the audience in front of the TV, Aelo's goal not only helped Valencia equalize the score on the field, but also made his Champions League goals this season reach 17 goals, which means that he set a new Champions League single-season goal record last season......

Listening to Huang Jianxiang's explanation, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or computer were stunned at the same time.

Oh my God, it was us Chinese who set the single-season goal record for the Champions League one after another, which is incredible! In the end, it was all in one word: awesome!

Returning to Anfield, the referee dispersed the celebratory Valencia players before walking up to Iello and showing him a yellow card, smiling: "Congratulations on your goal, but the rules can't be changed." ”

Iroh spread his hands and shrugged, "No problem, Mr. Referee." ”

For the referee's yellow card, Ilo didn't care, he had checked the official website of UEFA before this game, and the yellow card in the group stage was not brought into the knockout round, so this yellow card was his first yellow card in the knockout round, and there would be no absence from the Champions League final because of celebration.

After saying that, Iroh quickly caught up with Wang Xiaolei and put his arm around his shoulder, and only now did he have time to ask Wang Xiaolei why he was so sure that he could save the penalty: "How did you guess that Alonso would shoot into the bottom right corner of the goal?" ”

As a result, Wang Xiaolei replied with a reply that made Ai Luo speechless: "Guess..."

"And how do you know you're going to save the ball when you're on the pitch?"

"Actually...... I'm emboldening myself! Hee-hee......"

Iroh was completely speechless.

But he knew that Wang Xiaolei's career had made a good start.

How strong should someone who can save a penalty in the crucial second leg of the Champions League semi-final be psychologically? Not to mention Wang Xiaolei's future career, he has now left a strong mark in the history of the Champions League, and it will have a profound impact on his career in the next 20 years.

……

In an apartment somewhere in Shanghai, China.

"Son is awesome!"

"Needless to say? And don't look at whose seed it is! ”

"It's not serious!!"

“……”

Benitez quickly came out of the shadow of the goal conceded, as he realised that the goal was not the end for the team, but on the contrary, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, as Valencia had just equalised the score and would certainly be a little more relaxed.

He looked up at the time on the big screen, 62:35

I thought about it a little in my heart, because it was the goalkeeper who was sent off, I was delayed for nearly five minutes, which means that there is at least more than half an hour left after counting the injury time, and then I think that Valencia is now fighting with one less person, and the next half an hour can hold this score?

Hmph, don't even think about it!

Benitez came out of the shadows, but Liverpool's players on the field have not yet come out, especially Xavi Alonso, who missed the penalty, he made mistakes in several long passes when he restarted, either the power was great, or the power was small, and the time when the power was small almost allowed Ailo to seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly, if it wasn't for Mascherano's quick eyes and a yellow card to leave Ailo in place, then the game would be even more dangerous.

Flores looked at the front court hoarding three offensive players and regretted the substitution adjustment just now, knowing that Wang Xiaolei played so bravely, not only saved the ball, but also threw the ball to assist Iello to equalize the score, how could he replace Edu?

But there are no ifs.

So he turned his head to the bench and there were a lot of attacking players, but there were no proper defenders.

The bans of Marchena and Navarro have really had a big impact on the team!

If Benitez knew that Flores was annoyed by too many attacking players, it is estimated that Benitez would come over and teach Flores a lesson with his fists.

※※※

The head coaches on both sides found that there were no suitable personnel to replace on the bench, so they were very 'calm' and stood still, looking at the specific situation on the field before making a new decision.

"I have to say, I really admire Rafael Benitez, it's not easy to stay still under such a big psychological gap......"

Just now, the camera focused on Liverpool's bench and found that none of the players went to warm up, so the camera was given to Benitez with his arms around his chest, and his close-up also attracted the speculation of countless commentators.

"That's true, as the coach who led Liverpool to win the UEFA Champions League in the 2004-2005 season, his mental endurance must be super strong, and I guess he is full of confidence in the players on the field."

The guest next to him responded with a commentary.

After a few minutes of absence after the restart, the shadow of a penalty miss was put behind as the number of shots increased, after all, the game had to go on and there was no need to dwell on a penalty that was not scored.

Xavi Alonso's form has returned, and Liverpool's attacking attack has been re-layered, moving to the flanks as in the first half, as was the case in the first half.

There was plenty of time left anyway, and Xavi Alonso didn't believe his team couldn't score a goal in the next time when they were one man ahead, so he didn't rush to play behind the two defenders with long balls as often as before, but controlled the team's tempo in the middle.

Valencia had fewer people on the field, so Elo, who usually doesn't need to defend, also returned to the ribs on the left side of his own defense to help defend.

After all, this is related to his 'farewell captain' task, and he wants to win this season's UEFA Champions League in both public and private! Don't be in the semi-finals!!

※※※

Benitez looked up at Wang Xiaolei standing in front of the goal, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, wasn't this kid very eye-catching just now? In the first game of his career, he saved a crucial penalty in such a crucial game and also set up a goal for compatriot Iro.

Perhaps, maybe he should be allowed to exercise more!

The corners of Benitez's mouth curled in an arc.

Taking advantage of a dead goal, Benitez blew his whistle, captain Gerrard ran over in a senseful manner, and when the goal kick was released, Benitez's latest tactical idea was just transmitted.

Gerrard chose to shoot directly from distance in a subsequent attack, which was very powerful, and it went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, plus the ball also had a bounce, which indirectly increased the difficulty of saving.

Originally, it was just a simple attempt to kick, Gerrard himself didn't expect the kick effect to be so good, according to his own vision, he thought that this ball was there, and at the moment before the football entered the goal, Wang Xiaolei saved the ball with one palm.

Gerrard looked at the ball that had been saved from the bottom line and sighed.

A minute later, Xavi Alonso also had a long-range shot from 28 yards out, Wang Xiaolei was in a very good position, this time it was not as hasty as the previous long-range shot against Gerrard, he directly held the ball in his arms, and the corner was not given.

The teammates in the back line also gave Wang Xiaolei a high thumbs up.

"God, is it really the first time that Wang has played in a tournament like the Champions League? No matter how I look at him, he looks like a veteran player in the Champions League, with excellent goal-line skills, and the courage to attack and receive the ball, and more importantly, the courage to yell at the big brothers at the back, I believe that his achievements will definitely not be small! ”

Andy Gray said in surprise after Wang Xiaolei hugged Xavi Alonso's long-range shot directly into his arms for the second time.

If a long-range shot was accidental, it would be a bit strange to have two attacks in a row with a long-range shot, so Flores sensed Benitez's latest tactical intentions.

Obviously, I wanted to try Wang Xiaolei's state continuity, but I didn't expect this result to make Benitez crazy.

Of course, Flores also realised that if he continued to let the Liverpool players try to shoot from the edge of the box, they would not be able to miss a goal, so he shouted from the sidelines to limit the Liverpool midfielder's long-range shots.

Baraja and Ballack were efficient and soon erected a barrier at the edge of the box, with neither Gerrard nor Xavi Alonso getting any more space shots.

※※※

The game passed quickly, and it was the 85th minute of the game, and Xavi Alonso was still patiently controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm in the midfield.

Although there was no good chance to score on the field, Benitez was not in a hurry, because he was keenly aware that the Valencia defenders were not as active as in the previous few minutes, and he firmly believed that as long as he continued to control the field, he would definitely drag down the physical fitness of Valencia's defenders, and when the time came, he would ......

Still not to be slaughtered?

With good intentions, keep your attention back on the pitch.

Gerrard and Xavi Alonso had four or five consecutive kicks in the middle of the pitch 40 meters from Valencia's goal, but no defenders stepped forward to interfere, Ballack just stood honestly in the defensive area 30 meters away from his own goal, even if it was more than half a meter, he would not take the initiative to step forward.

In fact, Valencia's defensive strategy Xavi Alonso had noticed it a few minutes ago, but he felt that the time on the field had not yet come, so he delayed the attack, and chose to pass the ball horizontally or back, just waiting for the moment when Valencia's back line was distracted and passed the fatal blow.

This is also known as boiling frogs in warm water.

In addition to him and Gerrard next to him, the two have been partners for three seasons, and the tacit understanding between them has long been cultivated, and the exchange between the eyebrows can see each other's thoughts.

Gerrard didn't stand still when the two were back and forth to the seventh kick, and he was quickly noticed by Ballack, who was sticking to the middle of the pitch, Xavi Alonso moved the ball forward two metres, and at the same time, Cenden, Reese, Crouch and Kuyt all stepped forward at the same time, a change that made Valencia's defenders aware of the oddity.

Think of Xavi Alonso suddenly picking up his right foot, could it be a long pass?
