Chapter 482: A Rare Situation

"From the opening of the opening of the breakthrough of the shot can be easily seen his excellent competitive state, everyone see, the upper body of the virtual shake to drive the frequency of the foot change, and finally with the heel of the left foot to knock the ball to the right side of the body, so that the marking of his Mascherano is very passive, and then use the advantage of explosive power to shake Mascherano completely over, in the face of Agger's defense directly fake shot real buckle to shake the angle shot, but because the turf of the Anfield stadium is too slippery, the center of gravity of the body is unstable, put the anti-aircraft gun, I believe this game at Liverpool's home stadium will be very exciting! ”

Huang Jianxiang replays the slow-motion replay of Ayello and re-explained the whole process of Ailo's passing shot, and as a good commentator, he must seize the opportunity to arouse the passion of the fans in front of the TV.

However, guest Liverpool TV commentator Kenny Dalglish sarcastically said: "Is this the level of the so-called Champions League single-season goal record holder? How do I look at the level of League One?? Or is this the level of our Liverpool Under-15 team? ”

His commentator smiled and chimed in, "No, Kenny, our youth team isn't that bad, is it?" ”

Then the two of them smiled.

While the commentator in the studio was still analyzing Elo's attack, Reina's goal kick had already been kicked out to organize a new round of attacks.

Crouch played the ball over to Zenden on the flank, and Liverpool didn't play too aggressively on their home turf, making the most of the width of the pitch.

Since Xavi Alonso was on the bench in this game, the task of controlling the rhythm of the game on the field was handed over to the feet of captain Gerrard, but he himself was only part-time, not full-time, so the football often did not stay at his feet for too long, basically passing the ball to which wing was available.

Whether it's a wide combination of Reese + Zenden or Finnan + Pennant, they can pose a big threat to Valencia's two wings, with Edu and Baraja busy filling in on both wings, while Ballack is honestly staying at the edge of the box and providing protection in front of the two centre-backs.

Liverpool's first effort came from a cross from the left that was met by Zenden's pass on the left, and Crouch pressed Albiol to head the ball towards goal, but in the case of interference, it was not on target.

However, he was not affected by this header, but played a positive role in his form for the rest of the game.

The rest of the Liverpool players were cheered on by the home fans and got into the game very quickly, launching a fierce attack on the Valencia goal.

Valencia's players have to defend on the road, while Arlo and David Villa can only stare slightly up front because football simply can't be transmitted.

※※※

Although Valencia's players were on the defensive for the first ten minutes or so, which made the fans who supported them tremble, there was good news, at least they did not concede goals under Liverpool's indiscriminate bombardment.

Benitez chose to put Xavi Alonso on the bench, which was indeed an absolute advantage of the two wings, but there was no Xavi Alonso in the middle, and the change in the rhythm of the game was not obvious, and this offensive rhythm without rhythm change was easy to adapt, so Valencia's defense was not tight.

Coupled with Canizares's brave play, it is enough to make the city gate worry-free.

Flores was quite satisfied with the team's performance in the past ten minutes, although it looked a little shaky, but it was not much of a real threat.

Elo also actively returned to the wing to help defend during this time, which is why Valencia was not too passive during this time, for example, in the defense on the left side, Del Horno and Ello faced the pair of Pennant and Finnan, the two worked together, Del Horno prevented the inside cut, and Ello was responsible for the bottom.

Pennant and Finnan are not as good as Iello in terms of explosiveness and absolute speed, so Liverpool's attack on the right is basically a 45-degree direct cross, but this effect is not obvious, the pass is too far from the goal, which means that it increases the difficulty of the cross, making Crouch and Kuyt play very hard.

So Liverpool's next offensive is more from the left.

Whether it is Baraja or Edu, although the defensive ability of the two is good, they are significantly inferior to Reese and Cendon in terms of speed.

Therefore, this has become Canizares's table time, his control range is very large, as long as the ball is not too high and floating, he basically chooses to attack and take the ball or punch the ball out of the penalty area.

With the case of the first leg at the Mestalla Stadium, Flores paid special attention to the protection of the second point before the game, which not only prevented Liverpool from organizing attacks in the first place, but also increased the number of counter-attacks on their side.

Originally, Valencia could use Liverpool's two wings to make a fuss, but the problem is that Liverpool's attacking players will always counter-rob at the first time they lose the ball, basically for these fouls in the backfield, the hidden danger of fullbacks' assists has been swept away, and the referee who takes care of the home team will only blow the whistle and will not show the card.

This is also the reason why it took so long to open the game and neither side opened the situation.

Flores watched the scene and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he went back to the dugout and sat down.

After all, a draw away from home would qualify for the final, and there is no need to take a desperate attack like Liverpool.

I don't know if it's the reason for God's hard work, Liverpool in the 21st minute, Gerrard was swept to the ground by Baraja on the left wing of the front field about 32 meters from the goal, and the referee decisively blew a free kick.

Gerrard was thinking that the team's set-piece crosses in the past 20 minutes were basically pushed out of the box by Iro, so this time he was ready to take the opponent by surprise.

After the referee blew the whistle, Gerrard pushed the ball low to the middle, the Valencia defenders did not expect Liverpool, who had the height advantage, to give up the opportunity to cross, and the Danish international Agger ran 17 meters out and fired a low left-footed shot that flew past Ballack.

Goalkeeper Canizares had his vision blocked, and by the time he saw the football, it was too late, and the ball grazed the left post and flew into the net.

"goooooooooal - it was !! who scored the goal" The Anfield stadium radio rang out with a long-lost chant.

"Daniel-Agg!!"

At the same time, the sound from the KOP stands swept through the stadium.

This goal can be said to exaggerate the atmosphere of Anfield Stadium to the extreme!

Because Liverpool only need to beat Valencia 1-0 at their home stadium to qualify for this season's Champions League final!

Agg, who scored the goal, slid to the sideline on both knees, looking very dashing and domineering.

The Reds fans in the stands were desperately shouting his name and waving their fists, and some fans even shouted frantically at the camera, "Valencia get out, it's our great Liverpool who have advanced to the final!" ”

At this moment, the Valencia players were stunned in place, looking at the Liverpool players who were celebrating wildly, they suddenly found that the qualification for the final, which had been planned, seemed to be getting farther and farther......

※※※

"I have to say that Liverpool's set-piece combination was very exciting, using the fixed thinking of the Valencia defenders, their captain Gerrard suddenly passed a flat ball, and then the central defender Agger hit the ball into the corner of the goal, of course, a large part of the reason is that their defense despised Liverpool's attack......"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray explains.

'It's true that Valencia's defenders have mostly run into the box, there is a lack of protection at the edge of the box, and it seems that the absence of their captain Albelda will have a huge impact on the team's overall attack and defence.

The guest commentator next to him picked up.

"Valencia is in danger! In the 22nd minute of the first half, Liverpool were exceeded, and if it ended according to this scoreline, then it would be Liverpool who would advance, because they had a valuable away goal, so Valencia's players should quickly adjust their mentality to the game......"

Huang Jianxiang explained.

"Hahahaha, we scored in the 22nd minute of the game, which is really a very ideal start for Liverpool supporters, they just need to maintain this score for the rest of the game, and then it will be Liverpool ...... who will advance"

This is the unifying line of the other neutral commentators.

※※※

Fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium cheered on their team with red scarves in their hands after the goal, and then Liverpool became more aggressive.

With 71 per cent and 29 per cent possession in the 25th minute, the disparity was evident and it was clear that the visitors had not yet recovered from conceding goals.

So many commentators are very puzzled by this situation, Spanish teams are generally dominated by the control of the scene, but what they didn't expect is that Liverpool has more than 70% of the ball possession, which is a very uncommon situation.

"Don't break the siege blindly! Guide the ball!! ”

"Michael! Take the ball, have the courage to take the ball!! ”

"Ai, David, don't wait for the ball in front!!"

That's the line Flores often shouts from the sidelines when his team is behind.

It wasn't until the 30th minute of the game that Valencia's offensive and defensive tables picked up slightly, but this was based on Liverpool's slowing down of the attack.

Because in this half-hour offensive, not only the physical fitness of the defensive Valencia has declined, but even the physical fitness of the attacking Liverpool players has also declined, after all, the fast pace of thirty minutes in a row, even Liverpool, who is used to playing fast-paced Premier League games, is a little unbearable.

However, after the tempo slowed down, Liverpool's attacking and defensive transitions were problematic, which was a direct result of Xavi Alonso's absence on the pitch, and the team did not have a qualified metronome.

Neither Gerrard nor Mascherano is a talent in this area.

But fortunately, it has now taken the lead, otherwise it would have been more troublesome.
