stubbornly held on for 49 minutes, so that Liverpool, which has the strongest attacking power in the Premier League, was helpless, but was broken by his own captain, this feeling made all Aston Villa fans want to cry without tears, but what made them even more helpless was that the captain Laursen, who had just set himself up an own goal, hurriedly cleared the ball and caused his old knee injury to recur. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Laursen is the heart of Aston Villa's defence, an own goal does not indicate his poor quality, his role is almost irreplaceable, and no matter who he replaces after his injury, Aston Villa's defensive strength will decline.

The team was down and needed to attack, and at this time the core of the backline was injured again, which was a god test for Aston Villa and O'Neal.

O'Neill was in a terrible mood, but he couldn't show the slightest, and now is the most crucial time for Aston Villa, and the slightest slackness can be devastating.

O'Neill hugged Laurson very calmly, and Laurson said with a look of annoyance: "I'm sorry coach......"

O'Neill patted him on the back and said, "Don't apologize, you've done a good job, everyone will make mistakes, have a good rest." ”

Saying that, O'Neill asked the assistant coach to help him into the bench, and then called 22-year-old central defender Cahill over and said, "Gary, it's up to you now." ”

Gary. Cahill is a player in the Aston Villa squad and has been training at Aston Villa's Academy since he was 15 years old. In September 2005, the 20-year-old Cahill made his first team debut for Aston Villa, the 1.88-meter-tall Cahill had an excellent header and a strong desire to attack, scoring a beautiful volley against city rivals Birmingham City last year, and he was regarded by Aston Villa fans as the "Terry of Aston Villa".

Gary. Cahill has always coveted Laursen's main position, but Laursen is only 30 years old, if there is no injury, Cahill may have to wait at least two seasons, and now, he Laursen is injured, his opportunity is here.

"I will definitely complete the task."

Cahill excitedly rushed to the pitch without his shirt on.

Facing a giant like Liverpool, which they haven't won in six years, the score is behind, and the main defender is injured, Aston Villa fans are almost desperate, and the most die-hard fans dare not expect a miracle to come, and even hope that they will not be slaughtered at home.

At the beginning of Cahill's arrival, Liverpool felt that this was a good opportunity to expand the score, and the attack was almost concentrated in the middle, but the rest of Aston Villa's players were also worried that Cahill was too young, and they paid great attention to his assistance and protection, and Liverpool's onslaught in the middle did not have much effect.

However, Cahill's cooperation with other players is not so familiar after all, and the experience is not rich enough, plus they can't adapt to the rhythm of the game immediately, and then Liverpool changed their style of play, no longer attacking Cahill, but replaced Pennant, who has been emotionally unstable, and replaced the Dutch striker Babel, continued to expand the space from the side, and then suddenly attacked the middle, this effect immediately improved, Aston Villa's weakness in the middle of the coordination was quickly magnified, and the danger in front of the goal, On several occasions he came close to being scored by Liverpool.

In the 63rd minute, Liverpool played a series of beautiful combinations, Chen Yu finally crossed to Gerrard who was inserted into the small penalty area, and Gerrard's push shot from seven meters from the goal was blocked by goalkeeper Taylor with his foot.

It was Liverpool's best chance other than that own goal, but the Liverpool players seemed to be a little relaxed and failed to capitalise on their chances, giving Aston Villa a breather.

After withstanding Liverpool's onslaught for more than ten minutes, Cahill gradually integrated into the team, becoming more and more solid defensively, and no longer needed the help of his teammates, and could even rely on his good fitness and speed to help his teammates.

The 70th minute of the game was a watershed moment, and the score was still 0:1 at this time, and Aston Villa's self-confidence gradually came back again, and they not only held the back line solid, but also gradually began to counterattack.

At that time, Liverpool's cross was cleared by Aston Villa, Petrov counterattacked at high speed with the ball in the middle, Liverpool's two interceptions in the middle failed to intercept the ball, Petrov passed straight to the center forward Kalou who had been on the Liverpool backline, Kalou took the ball, and then Aston Villa's midfielders pressed it like a tide, Kalou split the ball to the side, Ashley Young broke through the cross on the side, Kalou and captain Barry formed a favorable situation for Liverpool's goal, but unfortunately Barry's shovel shot was a little worse, The ball slid out of the goal, and if it was Kalou, who was tall and long-legged, it would have been scored.

Aston Villa's attack scared Benitez so much that he almost jumped, and although he never scored the second goal that sealed the victory, the situation was always under Liverpool's control, and Benitez felt that scoring the second goal was only a matter of time, and he did not expect to change when it seemed to be stable.

Rafael Benitez took to the sidelines and began to keep a close eye on the situation to see if it was Aston Villa's return before his death or if Liverpool had lost control of the game.

Soon Benitez found out that Aston Villa was not a return to the past, it was Liverpool who couldn't control the situation, and in the next game, Aston Villa not only did not die, but also became vigorous, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, and the players were extra confident when they made moves, and the ball possession rate gradually increased, reaching 45%.

This is a bad phenomenon, Benitez constantly gestures to the Liverpool players in the field, let them press forward, put pressure on the opponent, but at the moment the Liverpool players are not as physical as in the first half, and then imagine that it is impossible to force Aston Villa to not be able to play the ball like in the first half, if it is too tight, too many troops are invested, Aston Villa makes a long pass, Liverpool's back line is dangerous, Benitez's tactical intentions they know, but they are unable to do so, unable to execute in place.

O'Neill was also carefully watching the situation of the game, and after seeing the change in the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides on the field, he made decisive substitutions, strengthened the attack, and tried to score an equalizer.

Although Aston Villa needed to step up their attack in order to score goals at this time, it was surprising that O'Neill replaced full-back Bouma and replaced 21-year-old winger Luke Moore.

The commentator at the scene couldn't help but say: O'Neal's substitution is very bold, although considering that Bouma has been running up and down for 75 minutes, and has received a yellow card, it is normal to replace him, but is it appropriate to replace a winger? Can the back three deal with the wolf-like Liverpool striker? What's more, Luke Moore is still so young? “

Not only is the commentator questioning O'Neal's substitution, but the Aston Villa fans in the stands don't understand, the situation on the Aston Villa field has just improved, and such a lineup will have a chance to equalize, O'Neal may score goals quickly if he takes such a risk, but he may also lose the goal quickly, Aston Villa fans feel that O'Neill is a bit dead, and it seems to be a trick to die.

However, football is full of impossibilities, and after Luke Moore came on, Aston Villa, a back three, not only did not have a precarious backline as fans thought, and was full of holes by Liverpool's assault, but was more solid.

The reason for this situation is that Luke Moore and Ashley Young are very fast, have a strong attack on the wing, and can also go back, although they are not full-backs, but after following Liverpool's attacking players on the wing, Liverpool's wing attack is also difficult to continue.

The game is like this, the offense is strong, the pressure on the back line is small, the attack is weak, the pressure on the back line is great, when Liverpool played smoothly, Liverpool's back line was calm and composed, and they dared to calmly control the ball in the face of Aston Villa's forwards, and now Liverpool's attack is weak, and they are pressed by Aston Villa, and Liverpool's world-class defenders are also embarrassed, and Reese and Alonso have not been able to stabilize the situation with two yellow cards in a row.

Benitez saw that the situation was not good, and immediately made substitution adjustments, the attacking and defensive weak Arbeloa was replaced, and the Frenchman Sissoko, who had strong running ability and strong body, came on the field to increase the interception and pressing ability of the midfield.

The same is a substitution, the effect of substitution in different times and different situations is also different, when Aston Villa is on the rise, replacing the young Luke Moore, with a back three can also make the game more smooth, and the passive Liverpool replaced the stronger Sissoko can not change the passive situation of Liverpool, and the game is still striding in the direction that is not conducive to Liverpool.

In the 80th minute of the game, Aston Villa had their best chance since the start of the game, their winger Ashley Young broke through from the side and was blocked, but the ball was not lost, Ashley Young passed the ball to the middle and found the captain Barry, Barry and Petrov played a one-two combination, and pulled to the side to cross diagonally to find the center forward Karui who rushed to the penalty area.

Barry's pass was clever and accurate, and the ball went straight to the head of Kalou, who had the chance to head it from seven yards.

At that time, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was standing in the middle of the goal, and in order to seek stability, Karui did not smash directly into the middle, but shook his head and attacked the left side of the goal.

In fact, at such a close distance, Kalou's header could score as long as it didn't hit Reina's body, and Reina couldn't react at all, but it was more difficult for him to shake his head to attack the goal, and the ball actually hit the post and bounced out.

When seeing Kalou's header at such a close distance, almost all Aston Villa people thought that the goal must be scored, the header is Kalou's strong point, and at such a close distance, if he doesn't score in this way, then what is the role of Kalou, is it just a bridgehead?

Most of them were already half-up ready to celebrate, but the loud sound of the ball hitting the post shattered the hopes of the Aston Villa people, and almost everyone was shaken, and many of them smashed their things to the ground in disappointment.

O'Neill was also shaken, he had already raised his arms to celebrate, and at this time he had to put it down in embarrassment, holding his head with his hands, he really couldn't figure out how Karui could make such a low-level mistake.

The commentator at the scene couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't score with such a good opportunity, and the Red Army won't win, is this the fate of Villa?" “

Liverpool escaped, the players could no longer afford to be careless, the ball bounced back and was kicked off the touchline by Finnan, who would rather give his opponent a throw-in than let this dangerous situation continue.

The Aston Villa players did not bother in this disappointment, they sent the throw-in as fast as they could, Petrov faced the touchline to win the ball, barely looked at the box, and directly half-turned and hoisted the ball into the box again.

The Liverpool players were in shock, the players in the box were not fully back in place, and they were not ready, the ball was passed over, and they rushed to mark the most dangerous Karui and Ashley Young, but they did not expect the substitute Luke Moore to cut diagonally into the penalty area and rush to the top of the goal, before everyone else.

Liverpool centre-back Carragher ran right in the direction of Luke Moore's header, and he didn't have time to defend Luke Moore, but he was smashed on the arm by Luke Moore's ball.

Force!

Referee Halsey's whistle blew.

At this point, everyone knew what the whistle meant, and sure enough, Hairey's hand pointed to the penalty spot.

The Aston Villa players cheered and hugged in celebration.

The Liverpool players stopped because Carragher didn't deliberately handball, they couldn't dodge it, and they immediately went around to explain to Hairey.

However, Hairsey ignored the Liverpool player's explanation, and he played Carragher's arm to block the ball towards goal, which was a penalty.

It was dangerous to be equalized at this point in time, almost declaring that Liverpool's three points had become a point, and of course Liverpool's players did not do it, they still chased Hairy to ask him to cancel the decision, and even Benitez wanted to rush into the field to explain to Hairy, but was held back by the fourth official.

Hairsey couldn't see that the yellow card couldn't stop Liverpool's big names, he immediately took out the yellow card to warn Gerrard, and put his hand in his pocket again, indicating that if he was entangled again, he would continue to pull out the card.

Liverpool saw that the situation was irreparable, and if it continued to make trouble, the loss would be even greater, so they could only accept the penalty kick in a stupid manner.

Aston Villa's penalty kick was the captain Barry, facing the world-class goalkeeper Reina, the young Aston Villa captain withstood the pressure and pushed hard into the bottom right corner to tie the score at 1:1.

The whole stadium was almost boiling when the goal was scored, and all the Aston Villa fans jumped up and cheered, they had already lost hope in the game, but they did not expect to equalize in the 85th minute, and according to the current trend, Aston Villa even hope to complete a big comeback, breaking the embarrassing situation of three years without a win at home to Liverpool.

O'Neill hugged each of the substitutes and assistants, and together they gave a thumbs up to the players on the pitch and praised them for their fighting spirit and courage in the face of tough opponents.

The on-site commentator praised O'Neill's use of troops like a god, "...... At the crucial moments of the game, it was Luke Moore, who came off the bench and was the youngest of the 22 men on the pitch...... O'Neill's on-the-spot command and substitutions are really godly, and Ferguson sees him as his successor, but we at Aston Villa won't let O'Neill go......"

The pressure of the game falls on Liverpool, Aston Villa is just a mid-table team, they lose one or two games and it is nothing, but a championship team like Liverpool, losing a draw and a draw may have a big impact on the title race later, because their opponents are basically perverts who only lose three or five games a season.

In addition, after Benitez arrived at Liverpool, Liverpool have been winless in their opening game for three consecutive years, and they are very eager to win today's game, but now it seems that fate is difficult to break, and perhaps this time the winless curse will continue.

Benitez also fought hard at this time, he decisively replaced Arbeloa, replaced the new signing Volenin, played a front three, and was ready to play in the last few minutes.

Benitez actually has cards in his hand, and Crouch is also an option, but Benitez thinks Aston Villa must not be familiar enough with Volenenin, and maybe Volenin can play to the same effect as Luke Moore.

With only five minutes left in regular time and eight minutes of stoppage time, players and coaches on both sides are ready to fight hard.

The pace of the game has become very fast, and the players who seem to have exhausted their physical fitness are now like eating a strong pill and beating chicken blood, and they are running more happily than when the game just started.

In the 86th minute, Gerrard passed the ball, Chen Yu missed the ball, and Kuyt's shot from outside the edge of the box on the right was deflected wide of the near corner.

In the 87th minute, Aston Villa immediately returned the game when Ashley Young passed the ball from the right and Barry's volley from the edge of the box was saved by Reyna in the near corner.

In the 88th minute, Babbel passed the ball and Reese's cross from 25 yards on the left was saved by Taylor. 1 minute later, Chen Yu passed, and Babbel's volley from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was saved by Taylor.

Less than a minute later, Ashley Young's cross from the left was headed over the crossbar by Reina. From an Aston Villa corner, Barry crosses from the left and Kalou heads just over from eight yards.

In the blink of an eye, the regular game time had passed, and the situation on the pitch was already white-hot, with both sides going back and forth, creating many shooting opportunities, but neither could break through the opponent's door.

The emotions of the fans on both sides in the stands also reached a climax, both sides were applauding desperately, constantly cheering for a wonderful move by their players, and they were doing their best to cheer up their players, hoping to win the opponent at the last moment.

During this period of time, players on both sides hope to be able to make contributions, almost anyone who has the opportunity to shoot at the first time, and after 90 minutes of the game, this situation is even more serious, so that stars like Chen Yu and Gerrard can't get too many opportunities, especially Chen Yu, he has always been the person Aston Villa is staring at, even when Aston Villa's offensive is the most ferocious, Chen Yu has not got many opportunities, so Chen Yu most of the time is pulled to the side to break through and create opportunities for opponents.

Now that the time is 90 minutes later, Chen Yu is also anxious, there are only three minutes of stoppage time, he sees his teammates constantly wasting opportunities, he does not pass the ball on the side, and cuts directly to the front of the penalty area.

Chen Yu has been active on the wing, after 90 minutes of the game, the Aston Villa players were too excited, Petrov, who was originally stuck in Chen Yu's internal cutting line, went to attack, Chen Yu shook off the winger Luke Moore and the fullbacks on the side, and smoothly cut to the edge of the penalty area.

Aston Villa only found out at this time that the most dangerous enemy came to the front of the penalty area again, and immediately two or three players blocked it, and Aston Villa's defenders also pushed forward to prevent Chen Yu from having a chance to shoot from a distance.

Time is running out, the opportunity is fleeting, at this time, Chen Yu can't care that he has just passed the corner of the big penalty area, and then he shoots angrily, and the ball flies straight to the near corner of the goal like lightning.

Chen Yu shot very decisively, Aston Villa goalkeeper Taylor saw his teammates surrounding Chen Yu, thinking that Chen Yu could only pass the ball, and the possibility of shooting was very small, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to shoot at this time.

Taylor didn't have time to think at all, he subconsciously flew straight to the pounce, trying to save the ball before it hit the net.

But Chen Yu's shot angle was too awkward, and the power was too great, and the ball flew towards the net against the goalpost, and Taylor's hand touched the skin, but he couldn't change the direction of the ball.

Burst!

The ball crashes into the net, swinging the net high.

2:1

In the 92nd minute, Chen Yu's shot from 23 meters away directly penetrated Taylor's ten fingers.

After the goal, Chen Yu frantically lifted his jersey and ran to the stands with his head covered.

The Liverpool fans in the stands also went crazy, and the joy hit them like elephants, and everyone jumped up and cheered, without exception.

"Chen Chen Chen ......"

There was only that sound left in the stands, as the Aston Villa fans were too stupid to make any noise.

Benitez was still contemplative, but after the goal, he jumped up like a rabbit in an arrow, flew towards the pitch, and hugged the players on the sidelines.

The bench, the coach's box, and even the staff on the sidelines jumped up and hugged each other like crazy.

Huang, the Chinese commentator who came to the scene, waved his arms excitedly and shouted "Chen Yu!" like a madman! Goal! Chen Yu has scored! At the last moment, Chen Yu scored, this is a god-like performance, one minute determines the outcome of the game, this is a superstar! This is a superstar, a superstar will not be looked at to death, it is not a superstar who is seen to die, this is the greatest player in the history of Chinese football, this is the pride of all Chinese, and this is also the pride of Liverpool......"

When the Liverpudlians fell into madness, Aston Villa's manager O'Neill silently returned to the coach's box from the petrified state, he knew that the game was over, Aston Villa lost, they did not lose to Liverpool, he did not lose to Benitez, they lost to the Chinese, superstar, this is the soul of a team, even if you have a hundred stars, it is not as good as a superstar, because they can change the course of the game in one second and decide the outcome of the game.

"Maybe we need a Chen Yu too!"

O'Neill sighed, he didn't make any more tactical arrangements, he knew the game was over. , Chen Yu passed, and Babbel volleyed from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and was saved by Taylor.

Less than a minute later, Ashley Young's cross from the left was headed over the crossbar by Reina. From an Aston Villa corner, Barry crosses from the left and Kalou heads just over from eight yards.
