Chapter 1016: Miracles (Part II)
When Agger shoots, the ball is almost 30 meters away from the goal, and there is basically little hope for shooting at such a distance, which Ag also knows, but there are no players in the connection between him and the goal, and goalkeeper Alikan has just gone to the near corner to defend Chen Yu, and a central defender like Ague can't wait for a better opportunity, so he used his greatest strength to kick it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a saying that miracles are made vigorously, and now miracles have finally appeared.
Chen Yu's pass was already very powerful, and under Ager's powerful volley, the two forces combined, and the ball turned and flew back with almost no spin, and flew to the upper right corner of the goal with a roar.
The power of this shot was extremely high, and the speed of this shot was 180 kilometers per hour after the game.
Not to mention that Alikan was not in the middle of the goal just now, even if he was standing in the middle, he might not be able to react, Alikan had just made a save, and the ball had already flown into the net.
Watching the ball go into the net, Agger could barely believe his eyes, and it wasn't until his teammates cheered and ran towards him that he excitedly ran towards the visitors' stands with his arms outstretched.
“goal……………………”
All Liverpudlians and Liverpool leaners burst out almost in unison at this time.
Eighty minutes!
It's been eighty minutes!
The Liverpudlians have waited too long! At this moment, they can finally cheer loudly, and they can finally sweep away the depression in their chests.
"Scored a goal...... Agger! Agger! Agg, who has just returned from injury, has become a hero! For the first time, his long-range shot broke the door of the Turks! The score became 2-1, Liverpool saw the hope of an equaliser, time is still there, think of the Champions League final night in Istanbul, as long as you are willing to fight, as long as you believe in yourself, a miracle will happen...... At this time, we can't forget Chen Yu who passed the ball to Ag, without his resolute breakthrough, Ag would not have a chance to shoot, and the credit for this goal is half of Chen Yu......"
Of course, what he said is China's commentator Duan Xuan, of course, what he said can't be wrong, without Chen Yu's breakthrough pass, Age has no chance to shoot, but such a shot from 30 meters away reflects more personal ability and luck, and the role of Chen Yu's pass is one-third.
Although Benitez was not as crazy as the former Besiktas coach Sagram, he also turned excitedly and hugged the assistant coaches and substitutes who pounced on him.
No wonder Liverpool's players are so excited, if they don't score in this time period, almost more than 90% of the game will be lost, and now Agger has scored, not only narrowing the goal gap to one, but also boosting the team's morale can not be measured by data, in this case, the probability of Liverpool's equaliser is more than 50%.
After Agger scored from distance, Besiktas's players did not dare to shrink too much when defending, and Liverpool are now so smooth on their feet that if they let them shoot from distance without pressing, maybe they will score another one.
Besiktas's players expanding their defense outwards is a good thing for Liverpool's players, the original middle is airtight, they can't get into Besiktas's penalty area at all, they can't do passing near the penalty area, and the strikers don't have room to do action in the penalty area, and now, they use the threat of long-range shots, attacking inside or outside, and the threat is several times greater than the original.
Liverpool are an old powerhouse, and the players have a lot of experience, so they know that they need to strike while the iron is hot, and after the kick-off in the center circle of Besiktas, the Liverpool players pressed forward again and pressed the Besiktas players into their half.
Since there was a successful experience of a long-range goal before, the players in the back of course also hope to replicate this success again, in the next game, Liverpool tried more long-range shots in different directions and different distances, and Besiktas's players suffered a long-range loss, and also strengthened the interference with Liverpool's long-range shots, so that Liverpool's long-range shots are a lot, but they are either high or off, or they hit the defenders, and they can't form a real threat. Instead, Crouch's header in the box caused a lot of problems for Besiktas' goalkeeper Arikán.
The goal gap is now only 1, Besiktas's original stable three points now don't look so stable, Sagram is a smart person, but also a ruthless person, he didn't think that this was Besiktas's poor defense because Besiktas was besieged, he thought it was caused by Besiktas's attack not causing pressure on Liverpool, so at this time he not only did not replace the striker and replace the defender, but made a counterposition adjustment, using Real Madrid striker Higuain's younger brother Fernando. Gonzalo Higuain replaced Delgado and continued to bolster his team's attacking power.
Liverpool saw that the long-range shot could not work, and the effect of grabbing the point in the middle was good, but Liverpool's penalty area only had one striker, Crouch, who was weak and did not seize the opportunity, Liverpool's midfielders consciously inserted the back row to attack, this kind of offensive change is a bit fast, Besiktas's players are busy defending Liverpool's long-range shots, Liverpool suddenly became a forward grab, and Liverpool was caught off guard by Liverpool to get a few shots on goal.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Chen Yu used speed to break through the fullback Tandogan and crossed, Crouch and Gerrard who inserted it attracted the attention of the defense in front, at this time Babel suddenly inserted, a powerful header to the goal, but the young Dutch boy's header kung fu is average, such a good opportunity was pushed by him to the side of goalkeeper Alikan, Alican does not need to jump, does not need to move, reached out to block the ball out of the bottom line, if the ball is a little more off, Alican has no choice.
In the 85th minute of the game, another side of the Wallenen 45-degree diagonal pass to the penalty area to find Crouch, when Crouch wanted to head the goal, goalkeeper Arikan took the first step to punch the ball out, but the ball fell in front of Gerrard in the middle, the captain of the Reds raised his foot to shoot, wanted to shoot into the far corner of the goal, but the ball fell above the net.
The best chance was in the 87th minute Besiktas counterattacked, the ball was cut off by Mascherano at the edge of the Liverpool penalty area, the Argentine then made a long pass, the ball passed to the side to find Chen Yu, Chen Yu received the ball and cut inside, brought it horizontally to the front of the penalty area, shook two defenders and hit the goal, the ball was pounced by Alican and rolled to Crouch's feet, but Crouch pushed the goal but was blown offside by the linesman.
With time running out of game, Rafael Benitez made one final change with full-back Aurelio replaced by young Brazilian midfielder Lucas. Rewa made his first appearance in the Champions League.
Born in 1987, Lucas is the captain of Brazil's under-20 national team, and he won the Ballon d'Or in the Brazilian league last year. It is an all-round midfielder, who can attack and defend, can break through, can make long passes, and his long-range shooting is also above the average level, and his style of play is chic, so he is also called Brazil's "Redondo" by Brazilian fans, but Liverpool fans now think that he is Brazil's Gerrard, hoping that he can succeed Gerrard.
Benitez sent Lucas as a surprise to see if he could create a chance to score by taking advantage of Besiktas' players who were unfamiliar with Lucas's technical characteristics.
Of course, this is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, when big names like Chen Yu and Gerrard are helpless, it is good to use a newcomer like Lucas to rush, even if it is useless, you can also exercise Lucas, in Benitez's heart, he is also the object of Liverpool's key training.
After Lucas came on the pitch, Besiktas's players really didn't know how to defend him, because no one expected Lucas to play, so they didn't study him much, and they didn't know what he was good at.
Lucas made a dangerous pass from the crowd to Crouch, but Crouch didn't realise it was coming, and the ball was a little bigger and cleared by a defender.
Just when Besiktas's players used Lucas as a passer, Lucas showed his ability to attack again, facing the defense of two Besiktas's players, Besiktas shook through a series of quick feints and went straight into the penalty area.
At the moment, there are a lot of people in the penalty area, even if Lucas breaks in, he can't find a chance to shoot, but Besiktas's players don't know what kind of ability this Brazilian kid has, no one dares to let him go in the penalty area, and the substitute midfielder Avzi reached behind his back and dragged Lucas down, and was awarded a free kick by the referee.
The position of the free kick is one step away from the front of the penalty area, the curling ball is not easy to play, the distance of the fall is not enough, and the strong shot may not be able to penetrate the human wall, such a free kick is actually quite difficult to play.
At this critical moment, only the two of them can take this free kick, but who will take the penalty for this ball two people have to discuss, this can almost be called Liverpool's last chance, this time to punish this free kick, not only honor, but also a kind of pressure, penalty is a hero, penalty can not score but also bear the black pot of team failure.
Gerrard and Chen Yu glanced at each other, and before Gerrard could speak, Chen Yu said: "Come on, I haven't scored a goal today, and I have a premonition that I can score now." ”
"Okay then, do you need me to pass it on?" Gerrard doesn't know if what Chen Yu said is true or not, but since Chen Yu said so, Gerrard can't grab this free kick with Chen Yu, now the two are of equal status in Liverpool, qualifications, Gerrard is older, famous, Chen Yu is bigger, technology, Chen Yu seems to be stronger, and they all respect each other.
Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "No, I'll fight it directly." ”
"Come on!" Gerald slapped Chen Yu on the shoulder and stepped aside.
Besiktas's players attach great importance to this free kick, they know the importance of this goal, and they also know Chen Yu's strength, although the difficulty of this free kick is not small, they still discharged a wall of 7 people, and the gap between the human walls is very small, and resolutely do not give Chen Yu a chance to penetrate.
Besiktas's goalkeeper Alican also gritted his teeth and told his teammates that they would rather be knocked out by the ball than dodge, this is a decisive goal, victory or defeat in this move.
When Besiktas's players lined up the wall, Chen Yu silently measured ten steps back, stood up, and waited for referee Laursen to blow the whistle.
At this time, the stands of Inani Stadium seemed to be boiling again, and tens of thousands of Besiktas fans booed wildly, as if hundreds of thousands of poisonous snakes were hidden in the stands, and many people threw debris downwards to interfere with Chen Yu's shot.
But Chen Yu was unmoved, he stood with his lips pursed tightly, like a straight javelin.
At this moment, Chen Yu's eyes only have the goal, and goalkeeper Alikan's eyes only have Chen Yu's feet.
It is a kind of luck and opportunity to be able to compete with a striker like Chen Yu, and now Chen Yu is already the biggest favorite of the world's footballer, if he can keep Chen Yu clean, Alican may soon be famous in Europe, although he dare not say that he can be bought by the teams of the five major leagues, at least it is enough for him to show off the rest of his life after retiring.
Now Alikan is only a few minutes away from keeping Chen Yu clean, this free kick may be Chen Yu's last chance, as long as Alikan prevents Chen Yu's attack, maybe Chen Yu will not even have a chance to shoot in the future.
At this time, Benitez on the sidelines also clenched his fists, and he didn't even hear the assistant coach telling him if he wanted to arrange this free kick tactic, even if he heard it, he wouldn't manage his money, and when he shot, he absolutely believed in Chen Yu.
Sagram's nervousness is no worse than Benitez's, Liverpool's loss is just a loss of face, losing the initiative to fight for the first place in the group, in fact, there is still hope, but if Besiktas loses or draws, he basically loses the chance to qualify from the group, which is difficult for Sagram, who wants to make history.
Force!
Referee Laursen's whistle blew.
Chen Yu accelerated to run, swing his legs high, and pump the ball towards the middle of the goal with all his might.
When Chen Yu took a shot, the Besiktas players who lined up the wall jumped quickly to try to stop the ball from going over the wall.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Yu's powerful shot hit a bocce ball! Right! It's boccia! His strength is not really to break the goalkeeper's ten fingers, but to ensure that the ball he shoots can pass through the moment the player jumps to the fall.
This can't be said that Chen Yu's bet was right, it can only be said that Chen Yu's shooting is too accurate and too powerful, which is a victory of technology, not pure gambling.
Goalkeeper Arikan saw Chen Yu's shot, he subconsciously wanted to fly out to save, but when he found that Chen Yu hit the boccia, Arikan was stupid, he just instinctively fell down and wanted to stop the ball, but Chen Yu's shot was extremely powerful, and it was not inferior to the long shot that Ag had just scored, but the distance was closer.
Before Alican could fully fall, the ball flew under him and into the net.
2:2
Chen Yu equalised for Liverpool with his own tricky free-kick, and the time on the electronic scoreboard was shown in the 45th minute of the second half.
