Chapter 1127: Sneak Attack
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool's coaches and players saw that Schalke 04 was really not just talking today, and they did not give up the idea of qualifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Schalke 04 was well prepared, making a modest adjustment to the tactical play with Liverpool last time, and the tactics that proved effective last time were retained, and the mistakes made in the last game, even if they did not cause serious problems, such as conceding a goal, were corrected.
In addition to the tactical corrections, Schalke 04 are also very well prepared in terms of fitness and fighting spirit, they are full of fighting spirit and energy, and they are not at all in a hurry or lack of confidence because of the defeat at home.
Schalke 04's performance surprised Liverpool's players and coaches, especially Liverpool's players, many of whom thought Liverpool's promotion was a foregone conclusion, and the game was just a passing scene, and the reality made them realize that the Champions League game has huge benefits, and no team will give up less than 180 minutes of play.
But Liverpool's players are not afraid and panicked at all, they are a giant team, they have played an unknown number of key games, many people have also participated in the magical battle of Istanbul in 05, where will Schalke 04 be taken to heart.
There is a hemisphere advantage in hand, Liverpool play very calmly, they are not busy attacking, but they will not give the scene to Schalke 04, every time Schalke 04 plays a wave of attack, they immediately return the color, either interrupted with fouls, or to attack and wait, do not give Schalke 04 a chance to continue to rise.
Benitez designed such a tactic because time is on Liverpool's side, Schalke 04 can't afford to spend with them, in Benitez's view, Schalke 04, a Champions League rookie, can spend the second half even if they have patience.
In fact, Benitez deserves to be a famous coach, he saw Schalke 04 thoroughly, and when the game reached the last ten minutes of the first half, Schalke 04 coach Slomka couldn't stand it and ordered to launch a final offensive in the first half.
Slomka also has no way, if they are only one goal behind, Slomka will never attack in the first half, how powerful Liverpool is, how terrifying Chen Yu is, he has been deeply taught in the last game, but Schalke 04 is not behind a goal, but a hemisphere, that is to say, Schalke 04 must score two goals to eliminate Liverpool, do not score a goal in the first half, they will not have a little buffer time in the second half, they must continue to attack, if they can score a goal in the first half, In the second half they took the initiative a lot, and Liverpool will fall into fear, because there are many accidents in football, and as long as one accidental goal is conceded, Liverpool will be eliminated, which is unacceptable to Liverpool.
Seeing Schalke 04 finally couldn't help but attack, Benitez and the members of the coaching staff were very happy, Schalke 04's strength is a grade worse than Liverpool's, when they are at home, they can still launch an offensive, but now Liverpool has recovered after a week of renovation, physical recovery, and a leading advantage, Schalke 04 takes the initiative to attack again is looking for death, or the kind that is afraid of dying unhappily.
Sure enough, Schalke 04's onslaught did not last more than five minutes before Liverpool seized the opportunity to counterattack.
In fact, Schalke 04 pressed so high, Liverpool had too many opportunities to counterattack, it was up to us to see if we could seize it.
This is a header from Kuranyi, the ball bounced directly on the defender's body, Mascherano who was standing in the middle of the defense hurriedly cleared, and the ball was picked up with the outside instep, and it was also Schalke 04 damned, and the ball flew right in front of Chen Yu.
Chen Yu will never let go of such an opportunity, he dribbled forward at high speed, regardless of whether there were players behind him, and ran all the way to the bottom line of Schalke 04.
Chen Yu's overall view is very good, under normal circumstances, he will observe the position of his teammates, but now, the rear of Schalke 04 is a large area of space, as long as he is fast enough, Schalke 04's defense line is a layer of paper, tear it and you can directly face the arrogant little goalkeeper.
The rhythm of the game in the first half was mostly mastered by Liverpool, and Liverpool was waiting for work, and his physical fitness was better than Schalke 04, Chen Yu quickly threw off all the players of Schalke 04 and killed near the bottom line.
At this moment, there was silence in the stands, and the Liverpool fans who were originally singing the team song stopped singing and stared at Chen Yu. Chen Yu didn't look at whether anyone was following behind, but just swept the middle of the penalty area with his peripheral vision, looked at the position of his teammates and Schalke 04's defenders, and found that it was quite far away from him, Chen Yu buckled the ball and cut to the penalty area.
Originally, Schalke 04's goalkeeper Neuer did not move much to the near corner, he felt that Chen Yu was brought near the bottom line, and he must have crossed, and most of his attention was on the Liverpool players who were outflanked in the middle.
Seeing Chen Yu suddenly cut inward, Neuer was shocked and quickly moved to the near corner, preventing Chen Yu from cutting inside and hitting the near corner.
Chen Yu's position is too deep, and the angle of the shot after cutting inside is not large, plus there is a genius goalkeeper like Neuer on the goal line, if you shoot directly, the chance of scoring is not great, if Chen Yu takes the ball to the middle of the penalty area, widen the angle, the players of Schalke 04 are back in place, and Chen Yu may not have a chance to shoot if he wants to shoot.
Therefore, Neuer is not really worried, he thinks that it is not very likely that Chen Yu wants to single-handedly score a goal, mainly depending on how much Liverpool's other players support Chen Yu, and whether the defense of Schalke 04 is reliable.
From an outsider's point of view, it seems that Chen Yu can't do anything well, but Chen Yu has already made plans when he cuts inward, and after he cuts inward, he directly dribbles the ball to the penalty area, ready to open the angle of shooting.
At this time, Schalke 04 defender Bordon, who quickly returned to the defense, arrived, and saw that Chen Yu would shoot at any time, he didn't dare to slow down at all, and rushed straight to Chen Yu who was holding the ball.
Chen Yu is now in the penalty area, Bordon is the captain of the team, experienced, he doesn't dare to foul directly, the foul is a penalty, he may still eat a red card, Bordon doesn't dare to foul, he is running for the ball, his intentions are also obvious, even if Chen Yu can avoid him, he will seem to hit Chen Yu unintentionally, so that he has no way to shoot, as long as there is a slight delay, the back of the defense will come, at that time Chen Yu wants to shoot again.
Chen Yu seemed to pay attention to goalkeeper Neuer, but in fact he paid more attention to Bordon, who was the first to chase after him.
When Bordon flew over to steal, Chen Yu made an evasive action in advance, pulled the ball back with his left foot, pulled the back of the supporting foot, and avoided Bordon's steal.
Bordon is not an idle person, otherwise he would not be the captain of Schalke 04, he ran so fast, he was already prepared to be prepared, as soon as Chen Yu pulled the ball, he stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Yu, Bordon pulled not heavy, it could destroy Chen Yu's balance, but it was not enough to make Chen Yu fall to the ground, and he thought about it, once Chen Yu faked falling to the ground, he immediately told the referee that Chen Yu faked falling.
Chen Yu is not only experienced, but also has enough adaptability and creativity, he saw Boldon stretched out his hand, he knew his intention, is to let himself lose the ability to shoot at the first time, Chen Yu thought of fake fall, but after Boldon's hand reached out, Chen Yu gave up and fell to the ground, but half turned around, and at the same time knocked his left foot, knocking the ball to the far corner of the goal.
Chen Yu's shot was very hidden, Neuer was opposite Chen Yu, and the distance between the two was less than five meters, but he didn't notice Chen Yu's shot.
Not to mention Neuer, even the onlookers didn't see it clearly, because everyone's eyes were attracted by Bolton's hand, everyone was thinking that if this was pulled, but the penalty was going to be awarded, this was very fatal, as for Chen Yu's half-turned action, it was also seen as Boldon's pull, I don't know that Chen Yu is taking advantage of the trend, and Chen Yu's movements under his feet, almost no one looks at it, who would have thought that this kid is such a ghost, at this time he still thinks about shooting, and shoots with unconventional parts.
It wasn't until the ball was about to roll to the goal line that Neuer saw that his frightened face turned white, but his good basic skills and professionalism made him almost subconsciously fly and pounce.
Chen Yu's shot was the idea of a sneak attack, the power was not great, and the ball was not rolling fast, but Neuer saw it too late, and when he pounced, the ball had already rolled over the goal line.
1:0
The ball went in.
Neuer threw himself on the turf, buried his head deep in the grass, slapped the turf with both hands, and scolded Chen Yu in his heart, "This bastard! It's so insidious! I was deceived by such a grasp! ”
After the goal is scored, many people are still confused and don't react, this is the goal? How did you get the goal? Why didn't you see Chen Yu making a move?
But this wonder and curiosity was immediately overshadowed by ecstasy, and the Liverpool fans in the stands were stunned for a short time before erupting in earth-shattering cheers, "Chen Chen Chen Chen...... goalgoalgoal……”
Benitez on the sidelines clapped his hands excitedly and couldn't help shouting: "OK! Advanced! ”
The commentator at the scene also shouted excitedly, "1:0, the total score is 3:1, Liverpool has almost advanced, Schalke 04 needs to score three more goals to turn the tables!" This is an impossible task, Chen Yu's goal shattered the illusions of the Germans, and there is no suspense in the following games......"
When Slomka saw the goal, his face was full of surprise and despair, and he didn't understand how Chen Yu shot the goal, but he knew that the goal had been scored, and all the hopes of Schalke 04 were gone, even if he had great ambitions, he couldn't believe that Schalke 04 could score three more goals in Liverpool, and the miracle in Istanbul would not appear every year.
However, the German's stoic personality was evident at this point, and Slomka quickly calmed down, beckoned Bordon to the sidelines, Kuranyi and Ernst, gave him a few words of encouragement, and then asked them to cheer up their teammates not to lose confidence and continue to play well.
