Chapter 429: Goal Battle (1)

The goal came too suddenly.

When Gerrard shot, he saw that the ball was blocked by Lehmann, no one thought that Liverpool still had a chance, even if Zhang Tiehan was grabbing points, but he was surrounded by a group of people in the penalty area, there was no chance at all, Zhang Tiehan was very outstanding, he still grabbed the ball, but the shot was also very weak, this shot was not threatening at all, but what I didn't expect was that Reese would suddenly kill.

It was a bit sudden.

After Rieser came out, Lyman was a little overwhelmed, because Rieser was too close to the goal, if he touched the ball, no matter what, Lyman would definitely not be able to react, so he was a little flustered for a while, and what he didn't expect was that Riser didn't touch the ball.

Then Lehmann watched as the ball flew into the goal

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”

At the moment when the football flew into the goal, the commentators immediately began to shout, and the commentators who supported Liverpool shouted the goal with the loudest roar for the first time, "The ball is in!" It's Zhang! He scored under the bag of three men! ”

"But I think the biggest contributor to the goal was Reese"

The Norwegian star shook Lehmann in front of goal, his movements were so realistic that Lehmann pretended he was going to shoot, but he didn't touch the ball, and Lehmann could only watch the football fly into the goal! Well done! ”

Although the commentator said so, many people can see that Reese actually wanted to shoot, and he couldn't touch the ball because he couldn't stabilize his body, and the moment he fell to the ground was not a deception or anything, it was a real fall.

The camera points to Reese.

I saw that after Riser got up from the grass, he was still a little dazed. Then he was hugged by Zhang Tiehan who rushed over, and it was only at this time that Riser realized that it was a goal, his eyes were still a little dazed, and he happily celebrated with everyone when his teammates rushed over.

Even so, it says something.

After all, there was a bit of luck in this goal. Perhaps the most tangled is Lehmann, he has just judged, almost waiting to go over and hold the ball in his arms, but Lisse's rush out made him a little flustered, and he watched the ball fly into the goal, which can be said to be his mistake, Lehmann felt quite guilty, you know, this is the Champions League final. Instead of a league or something, a mistake in such a game is likely to affect the result of the final two teams.

Lyman looked at his teammates guiltily.

Fortunately, there were no teammates to blame him, after all, Lehmann didn't mean it, and the ball just now rushed out too suddenly, everyone paid attention to Zhang Tiehan, and no one on the left side had any scruples, not to mention. Speaking of which, left wing-back Ashley Cole also has a lot of responsibility. Reese was definitely in his defensive range, the two positions were opposite, but Cole did not follow Reese at all, and at the moment of the goal, he was still in the right corner of the penalty area, that is. He didn't defend Riser at all before.

Reese is also a bit unobtrusive

Whether it is fame or appearance, Reese is always the low-key one, he is Liverpool's jack-of-all-trades, which is well known, and generally speaking, jack-of-all-trades players. He can play in any position, but he is not the best in any position, Reese is such a player, and it is only because Finnan is injured and cannot play, Hamann is old again, etc., Reese can firmly occupy the main position of a right midfielder, and his performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Don't talk about goals, assists or whatever, Reese is not good at dribbling the ball, and the speed is not very fast, playing the right midfielder relies more on cooperating with the middle, such a right midfielder is really a bit unreliable, because he has no ability to attack by himself, and the ability to pass the ball and the overall situation is not outstanding.

The only thing he's good at is defensively.

What can he do well when he plays right midfield? In any case, it is difficult for him to be very conspicuous in the game, and the result is that even the Arsenal players do not pay much attention to Reese, compared to Garcia, who is good at breaking through with the ball on the left, has good speed, and is very accurate in passing footwork, Reese is really 'low-key', and now 'low-key' has helped him.

He found his chance, went over and shook Lehmann a little, and he had already scored.

He was the biggest contributor to the goal!

Zhang Tiehan hugged Riser fiercely, thanking him for helping him score in front of the goal, a go in may not be nothing to Zhang Tiehan, but this is a goal in the Champions League final, with this goal, Liverpool leads Arsenal by one goal!

Liverpool fans in the stands also fell into a revelry.

They were quite happy.

The two teams had just started to probe and it was just over, Arsenal's attack was actually much better than Liverpool's, but they didn't expect their team's goal to come so quickly.

This is really something to celebrate!

It doesn't matter if it's a bit of luck to score, it's a goal and they are ahead of Arsenal, so it's a cause for celebration.

In the dugout, Benitez smiled as well.

This goal is a bit unexpected, but sometimes luck is also a kind of strength, he is still satisfied with Riese's recent appearance, although the action just now is very lucky, but thinking that Riese can suddenly rush out at that time, it is not easy to do this, and this cannot be completely attributed to luck.

In the end, Lisser's table is good, and Zhang Tiehan's table is also good.

He wants the team to keep it that way.

Soon the game resumed.

At this time, Arsenal's attack was more fierce, after Liverpool's goal, the Arsenal players could only stabilize their minds and try to play the game better, they believed what Wenger said, as long as they stabilized the attack, showed the strength of the team, and played the rhythm of the team, then the victory will definitely belong to them.

The game has only just begun, and being behind by one goal is nothing.

However, Liverpool's table is also very good, everyone is full of fighting spirit after the goal, under the command of Gerrard, the team's attack is very stable, Liverpool does not play fast like Arsenal, but a steady attack, pass the ball on the periphery when there is no chance, try to let the football control at the team's feet, and will not rush in.

This kind of attack may sound a bit like Barcelona in control of the ball, but in fact. It's two different things, Liverpool play pure English football, with a tougher style and not so many meaningless passes, and their so-called chances are not obtained by passing the ball, such as when Zhang Tiehan is in front of the penalty area. They just pass it directly, which is called an opportunity, and for example, the team's formation is very high, and their own strikers have rushed to the penalty area, whether it is on the side or in the middle, they can make a high hoist to seek a shooting opportunity.

They don't really pass the ball out of the way to have a one-on-one goal, or use quick short passes to find the most suitable opportunity, but just look for a direct opportunity, especially a goalkeeper. It relies more on the individual performance of the frontcourt players.

In this kind of football, the importance of the individual ability of the striker is unquestionable.

Zhang Tiehan can naturally play a big role in this regard, he is at the front of the team, is the biggest threat to Liverpool, although Wenger did not do any special defensive arrangements for Zhang Tiehan, but everyone knows his ability, Arsenal will naturally not relax his defense because he is not arranged, then they really become a fool team.

This wave is advancing. Zhang Tiehan then plugged in to the front of the penalty area.

He was followed by Campbell and rushed towards the penalty area. Then suddenly a change of direction wanted to find a gap to receive the pass from his teammates, Garcia also passed the ball over as soon as possible, but the ball was stopped by Ljungberg halfway, and the Liverpool players were startled and hurriedly retreated to defend.

But Ljungberg reacted very quickly.

After the tackle, he hoisted the ball to Cesc Fabregas as soon as possible. Then Arsenal launched a quick counter-attack!

The speed of Arsenal's counter-attacks is not in doubt at all.

When the football reached the feet of Cesc Fabregas, he immediately quickly dribbled forward, ran a dozen steps to meet the Liverpool defender, and immediately poked the ball to Henry in front!

Henry kept running forward.

But he's not really fast, he's always running against Cesc Fabregas. Carragher is also next to him, so as to ensure that he is not offside, otherwise he will not have to keep up with Carragher if he runs forward quickly.

But Henry's movement was still very positional, Cesc Fabregas's pass went straight to his feet, he got the ball and started to rush forward, Carragher couldn't find a chance to foul again.

He was thrown away.

Thierry Henry kicks the ball into the box.

Reina greeted him.

The Liverpool fans all over the stadium wanted Reyna to do it again, as if he had been able to save Thierry Henry's powerful volley at the start of the game, but this time Henry's shot made Reina unable to do anything about it, and the Frenchman hung the ball straight into the corner of the goal.

Definitely a dead end!

between beams and columns.

This is Henry. Although many people say that Henry is not as good as Zhang Tiehan, but it is not as good as Zhang Tiehan, it is by no means that Henry is worse than anything, in the face of a single chance, the French rarely misses, his speed is fast, the dribbling is very stable, the explosiveness is very strong, and he is also very calm in the face of shooting opportunities, this is the world-class scorer at his peak, Henry, he used a goal to show everyone his steady state and strength.

The ball went in.

At that moment, a lot of people stood up and cheered for the goal.

“Goal!!! In the thirty-first minute of the game, Arsenal striker Thierry Henry equalized for the team! It was a quick counter-attack, Henry was calm in the face of Reina, and hung the ball into the corner of the goal with a precise kick! ”

After the goal, Henry raised his arms in celebration.

The Arsenal players also happily ran over to celebrate the goal, this goal allowed Arsenal to tie the score at the same time, but also boosted the team's morale, they believe what Coach Wenger said, as long as they can play the strength of the team, they can beat Liverpool, but they have really not won against Liverpool this season, especially the opponent has a number 13, a better scorer than Henry, which has a great impact on their hearts, they are a little unsure that the team can win, not to mention, Liverpool also scored a goal first.

But Thierry Henry's goal showed them that there was hope for the team!

Liverpool have a number 13, they also have Thierry Henry, and the team's attack as a whole is much better than Liverpool's, even if they can't defend against each other, it is impossible to use defense to limit the opponent, but as long as they can score more goals than the other side, they will also win the game.

This hope of victory is their greatest encouragement.

"Thierry Henry's goal! Arsenal equalised! ”

"This Champions League final was unexpected! Both teams scored in the opening half hour and we can expect it to be a goal shootout! ”

"Thierry Henry's table is quite good, he has only scored two fewer goals than Zhang in the league and not as many goals as Zhang in the Champions League, but the Frenchman seems to be in this decisive battle against Zhang!"

"Henry and Zhang. The two are the best goalscorers in world football right now! ”

"Their duel was a great show, but it's hard to imagine that in just 30 minutes, the two scored a goal each! Now that the two teams are drawn 1-1, the next game is sure to be even more exciting! ”

The narrator is looking forward to it.

The French fans at the scene were also looking forward to the fact that UEFA allocated 5,000 tickets to each of the two teams for this match. Most of the rest were French fans, but there were thousands of fans and tourists from other regions, which means that the majority of fans were neutral, after all, this was the final of the Champions League, and it was the match that the world watched.

Neutral fans naturally want the game to be as exciting as possible.

But in fact, veteran fans know that generally speaking, the more the competition, the less exciting it is. Because the two teams will attach great importance to the game and care more about the game, they will be very conservative, especially when two English teams play against each other, whether it is Liverpool or Arsenal, in fact, it is the same, before Arsenal and Villarreal, Real Madrid and other teams in the Champions League, victory relies more on defense. Liverpool, on the other hand, is also mostly defensive, so the two teams play. A lot of fans didn't expect how intense the game would be.

The odds of 1:0 are the lowest on various bookmakers, and many fans believe that the game will end 1:0 because both teams will value it.

No one expected the game to turn into a goal shootout!

But seeing this situation, except for those gamblers, other fans are happy to see it. Because the game is going to be very good-looking!

After celebrating the goal, the game resumed.

The two teams lined up and fought together again, and as the clock entered the thirty minutes, the players of both teams found their form and the real fierce game began. The battle between the two sides in midfield was fierce, with Liverpool looking to dominate the midfield to take the initiative, while Arsenal played the style of the team, and when they got the ball, the control of the football in the midfield and the quick attack can pose a big threat to Liverpool.

At the same time, Liverpool's attacking threat is also very high.

In the 36th minute, Zhang Tiehan turned around and volleyed in front of the penalty area, almost breaking the door of Lehmann's handle, but fortunately, Lehmann's save was very timely to keep the Arsenal goal from being lost.

Both teams went into their own attacking rhythms.

The various commentators are commenting on the game while discussing the goal, and the public's opinion is still optimistic about Liverpool, after all, Liverpool's table has always been very good, Zhang Tiehan's efficiency is played game by game, and he continues to score goals in every game, giving fans a lot of confidence, and many fans are looking forward to Zhang Tiehan's second goal.

But no one thought that the next goal would belong to Arsenal.

This was in the 40th minute of the game, Ljungberg sent a cross to the edge of the penalty area, Fabregas stopped the ball and turned around, Carragher and others thought he would pass the ball to Henry, they defended Henry very tightly, but no one expected that Fabregas chose to shoot himself.

A cold shot!

Reyna was completely unprepared and was slow to react to the shot for a split second, and after that moment, he had no chance to save.

The soccer ball flew straight into the left corner of the goal!

“Goooooooooooooooal!! 2:1, Arsenal overtook the score! ”

"Cesc Fabregas!"

"The youngster's long-range shot put Arsenal in the lead! Nice shot! Francisco Fabregas, the 19-year-old Spaniard, was still immature last season, but Arsene Wenger is interested in developing him as the successor to Patrick Vieira, who has been a striking figure this season and is now the heart of Arsenal's midfield! ”

"Cesc Fabregas! Cesc Fabregas! He's calm in front of the box! ”

"Let's look at the slow-motion Liverpool players' attention is on Henry's shot, after all, Cesc Fabregas didn't show much desire to shoot, but they all thought wrong, the young player who saw the opportunity chose to shoot by himself for the first time, and goalkeeper Reina looked stunned!"

"He's a real genius!"

"Arsene Wenger wants to be good at developing young players, he has a good eye, he brought Cesc Fabregas from the Barcelona Academy to Arsenal, in just three seasons, Cesc Fabregas has gone from a 16-year-old youth player to the heart of Arsenal's midfield, and I think other Premier League managers will be jealous of Arsenal."

This is no joke.

It can be said that almost all Premier League teams lack a midfield core, such as Liverpool, after Benitez arrived, he brought Alonso over as soon as possible, and trained him to become the main midfielder of the team, Gerrard has always been the core of the midfield, but Gerrard belongs to the English style of players, and the lack of technology is obvious, Alonso is different, he is a Spanish player, his foot skills are better, such a player is a must in modern football.

Like other teams, such as Manchester United, who are still using Paul Scholes, Alex Ferguson has always wanted to have a good midfielder, but Fletcher has always shown that he is not stable enough.

Chelsea have Frank Lampard, but Mourinho is still buying other midfielders, including Essien, Wright-Phillips and so on, and the midfield is always the most important thing for a team, whether it is defensive or attacking, the midfield is the soul of the team.

A midfield core is not so easy to cultivate.

For a team of Arsenal's level, the core of the midfield is the soul, such as the former Vieira, who is definitely a world heavyweight star, and such a star can be cultivated in three years?

Hardly possible

That shows just how good Arsene Wenger's vision is.

Looking at the goal just now, as well as Cesc Fabregas's table in the game, everyone knows that the future of this 19-year-old young player is limitless! (To be continued......)
