Chapter 147: The Conquest of Anfield
The boos spread throughout the Anfield stadium, and Liverpool have been dragged down by Dudek too often this season, with a Premier League defence that is top-notch, but their goalkeeper is ......
Dudek took the ball out of the goal and looked up at the sky, this was the first time he had done this this season, what had happened to him.
Nie Huan was not too excited, because Liverpool is not an ordinary team, the Istanbul miracle in the previous life is a good illustration of this, this team may only be able to play its true potential in a real desperate situation.
The game restarted, as Nie Huan expected, Liverpool began to bombard Bochum's half after falling behind, Nie Huan was still pestering Owen at this time, this person is Liverpool's ultimate weapon, guarding against him is equivalent to preventing half of Liverpool.
Owen was very depressed, although he scored a goal, but after that, he didn't have a good chance to get the ball at all, basically he was either destroyed by Nie Huan, or he was squeezed out of the bottom line, and his partner Barosh had a completely different chance in this game, he got enough opportunities in this game, but unfortunately he didn't grasp it once.
As a young player, Barosh has good potential, and it seems that he will win the Golden Boot of the European Championship in the future, but his weakness is his biggest weakness, and Bochum's central defenders are always squeezing him when he defends, although his shooting skills are much better than Husky's, but Hesky's body is much better than him, and the Bochum central defender can't play at all in Hesky's body.
Falling to the ground again, Baros got up from the ground and looked at the referee. However, the referee did not make any decision, and the physical contact between the two sides was very frequent in this game. Things like falling to the ground are still very common, and the referee's scale is relatively loose.
Seventy-five minutes into the second half. The situation on the field still hasn't changed much, with Owen being watched as an arrowman, Liverpool's attack can't find a good way at all, and Gerrard's long-range shots from outside the box are threatening, but they don't seem to be of much use, because the score still hasn't changed, and the lead is still Bochum.
Hollier glanced at the bench, then turned his head again, and the bench was full of embarrassed people. Even if it does, it doesn't make much difference.
The ball at Owen's feet was once again destroyed by Nie Huan out of the bottom line, Nie Huan's defense of himself is very different from others' defense, he will not have too much physical contact with himself, but destroys the ball the moment he catches the ball. This is very depressing.
This kind of defense has never been encountered before, Nie Huan only plays against the ball, not against people, so that no matter how fast he is, no matter how fast he is. There's no use for it either.
Owen confronted Nie Huan again near the bottom line of the penalty area this time, and the previous breakthroughs ended in failure, but he didn't believe that he would always fail.
Owen takes the ball and flicks it to the left. But Nie Huan in front of him didn't move at all, his eyes were still on the ball under his feet, at this time. Owen suddenly rubbed the ball directly to the vicinity of the goal, and Gerrard also rushed into the box at this time.
Bochum's penalty area. Barosh, Gerald. Carragher all three rushed over, and all three had good headers.
Enke kept moving in front of the door, and Nie Huan had to give up Owen at this time and run to the door.
But after all, it was a step too late, Gerrard received the ball and hit it hard, and the ball flew like a whirlwind to the corner of the goal.
At this time, Enke's hand seemed to have become made of rubber, and he insisted on reaching the ball to save it, and Nie Huan drove the ball out at the bottom line.
Gerrard pounded the turf hard, the ball was quite good on his own, but it was still saved by Enke.
Nie Huan's big kick was very big, and Colin immediately accelerated towards the ball, and Carragher was also behind him.
This time Liverpool played big for this header, several players in the back line came over, and their half was really empty except for a goalkeeper Dudek.
Colin's speed was very fast, and he arrived here before the ball fell, and Nie Huan couldn't help but smack a little when he saw it, this guy's speed was not inferior to Peter Pan Robben, and Ribery was not inferior at all.
Colin got the ball, and Carragher chased after him, but Colin started again, and he took the ball and rushed straight to Dudek. When he immediately entered the penalty area, he saw that Dudek was not standing in the goal, but ran out, and he immediately shot with a lob.
"Danger, Liverpool are dangerous, Dudek, Dudek again, this goalkeeper has given us enough disasters in this game, can he save the team this time." The commentator's words may have been heard by Dudek, he came to the goal quickly, and took it out before the ball came to the goal line.
The ball was picked up by Carragher, who was ahead of Colin, and if Colin got it and took advantage of the situation to make up for it, then Liverpool basically had no hope of winning this game.
It's really a thought of heaven, a thought of hell, just when the KOPs were still blaming Dudek for losing the ball, Dudek used his magical performance to complete self-redemption, although this is not perfect, but it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that Liverpool have finally defused this danger.
Carragher took the ball down and passed it to Hyypia, who passed the ball to Huntez, just when Huntez was about to continue to pass forward, he suddenly had an extra foot under his feet, Huntez was clever, but he still reacted late, the ball was hooked by Nie Huan, and then he came directly to the thirty-five yards of the goal, and he directly got up.
Dudek looked at the incoming ball, and his whole person emitted a blazing light, and his whole person was on fire.
Nie Huan's ball is of very high quality, just like an ordinary ball, this ball is a falling ball, Dudek didn't wait for the ball to fall completely, he pounced like a tiger descending the mountain, and held the ball firmly in his arms. Clenched his fists and shouted.
By this time, the game had reached eighty minutes into the second half. Looking at Dudek who was so excited, Nie Huan knew that he wanted to break the opponent's goal again. It's not that simple, this guy is a nerve knife. In his hyperactive state, he can make a save, and you can shoot from any angle.
The exuberant Dudek boosted the morale of the Liverpool players, and one by one they began to make the final assault on Bochum's goal.
This is their last chance, and if they don't take it, then this game is over.
Liverpool's stormy attack did not let Bochum mess up, Nie Huan was constantly commanding his teammates, and the whole team seemed very calm.
Eriksen and Gascoin watched this scene deadly, Bochum without Nie Huan and Bochum with Nie Huan are completely two teams. That's not a bad thing to say.
"Paul, you see, this Nie Huan is not an ordinary rookie, you can't look at him with your previous eyes now." Eriksen looked at Nie Huan's performance, and suddenly felt that it would really be a disaster if England met Germany in this World Cup, because in this game, although Owen scored a goal, there has been no good performance since then. And Husky's play is even more tragic, and when Irving is seen dead, he seems to have no role on the court. It's all because of Nie Huan.
"This kid does have two brushes, but it's the same as my Paul Gascoimby. It's still a little bit worse, but I'm comparable to George Best, he's just a rookie. It's not that scary, coach, don't worry. When we meet him at the World Cup, I will educate him well. Gascoigne was still so dismissive of Nie Huan.
Erikson stopped talking. It's nonsense to say anything now, this guy sitting in front of him really doesn't know if it's his lucky star or disaster.
In the eighty-eighth minute, Barosh broke the ball in the middle of the field and burst into the penalty area alone, and this time Owen did not have Nie Huan to see death, his chances were much better than Barosh, but the former still stubbornly chose to hit the goal by himself, and the ball was easily confiscated by Enke.
Owen's lungs are about to explode, no wonder Nie Huan is so loose on his defense this time, it turns out that people have long expected that Barosh will not pass the ball to him, so he is basically useless in the penalty area.
"Why didn't you pass the ball to me just now, didn't you see that my chances were better than yours? Do you think you're Van Basten or Rummenigge, defending against so many people and still being able to score the ball, idiot. Owen was made angry by Nie Huan throughout the game, and now when he saw Barosh's performance, he pointed at him and scolded him on the spot.
Baros just bit his lip tightly, didn't say a word, and walked to the midfield with his head down, his style is like this, he is a pure goalscorer, not a panacea, if he passes the ball himself, it is really likely to turn into a mistake, and besides, even if he passes to him, he will be able to score? Houllier's previous promises to himself now seem to be bullshit, he brought himself here just to increase the depth of the bench, what future, what core, what striker, all are his excuses to fool himself.
The referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card to Owen, the latter did not have any reaction, he would not regret what he had just done, when this guy came to the team, he was very unhappy, because this guy is completely the king of singles, although he looks talented, but that talent is nothing compared to those top geniuses, such as Nie Huan, who defended himself to death in this game, the age difference between the two of them is not too much, but the technology and ball quotient are not at all on the same level, If his teammate was Nie Huan, not Barosh, he would definitely not be what he is now.
Houllier sat in his chair and didn't know what he was thinking, Baros is the type that Liverpool does not have in the current lineup, and he brought him here to enrich his tactics, this guy has scored a total of five goals for Liverpool so far, not more than a third of Owen's, of course, more than Husky, but Husky's pull cover defense, these are not what he has, which is why even if his scoring ability is stronger than Hesky, the starting is still Husky.
After Owen got angry, Liverpool's momentum seemed to be vented, and Bochum did not attack, so the two sides tacitly used up the last time, Bochum defeated Liverpool 2:1 away, which was a good start for the quarterfinals.
In addition to the quarterfinals of Bochum and Liverpool, the quarterfinals between Milan and Barcelona are also worth paying attention to, as a result, Milan beat the opponent 5:0 away, Inzaghi's hat trick, Sheva scored twice, and Milan's double arrow state is still good and frightening.
I really can't imagine that Inzaghi, who is a little self-disciplined, can be so terrifying, and now he has surpassed Trezeguet by 10 goals in the Serie A scorer list, and Shevchenko has also surpassed Trezeguet in second place, and Trezeguet can only be relegated to third.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Moggie, before the season began, selling Inzaghi and introducing Trezeguet was hailed as a great move, but now it has completely become a stinky chess, although Trezeguet's goal efficiency is good, but compared to Inzaghi's average efficiency of three goals per game, it is not as good as a piece of Xiang, he sold the best scorer to someone else, and then bought a general.
Except for these two quarter-finals, the rest of the games did not have much upset, everything was as predicted by the media, except for Liverpool and Bochum, this game was really broken by the discipline of experts.
Irving, who they had high hopes for, scored a goal in the game, but Liverpool still lost to Bochum, and Nie Huan completely shattered all doubts in this game.
In addition to Nie Huan, Liverpool's goalkeeper Dudek has also become a man of the hour, and his amazing performance in the second half of the game is really impressive.
The Polish international also vowed that he would complete the sniping of the German team in the World Cup, and Poland would definitely break through in the group stage.
Of course, the media did not take his words seriously, this group is more than one cut above Poland in addition to the stick, and it is basically difficult for them to qualify.
Winning Liverpool has laid a solid foundation for advancing to the semi-finals, but there are still many problems that need to be solved in the Bochum team, such as the back line and substitutes, if these two cannot be solved, Bochum will eventually be defeated by themselves first.
