Chapter 432: Champions League Champion

Zhang Tiehan's goal helped Liverpool equalize again.

The game turned into a contest of goals from the beginning, both sides were trying to attack, Arsenal scored three goals, Liverpool also scored three goals, so when they saw Zhang Tiehan score, fans on both sides got used to it, Liverpool fans were not too crazy, and Arsenal fans were not too disappointed.

However, the goal still made many commentators find words, they are talking about the stars, not the goal, this is Zhang Tiehan's third goal in the game, Liverpool's three goals, each of which was scored by him, this kind of crazy table that covers all the goals of the whole team, really makes many commentators speechless.

"That's what the most efficient shooter in the world is capable of! If you haven't watched Zhang's game, you'll never be able to experience that kind of magic! He's such a fantastic player! The game is far from over, but Zhang has already scored a hat-trick! ”

"Seeing Zhang's hat-trick, maybe many fans will think that there is no suspense in the game, but in fact, Arsenal also scored three goals"

"Henry is also very good, but obviously Zhang is even better!"

'He's scored one more goal than Thierry Henry, so will he be able to equalise in the next game? This is a direct duel between two of the best shooters in the world - Henry and Zhang! ”

Just now, after Henry scored, he also talked about Henry's better than Zhang Tiehan's appearance, and the commentator didn't talk about 'Henry is very good', after reporting the goal, he could only say sourly, "Zhang's luck is good, he found a gap, it seems that this wave of Arsenal's defense is not doing a good job, but you can't just let Zhang get up in front of the penalty area." ”

Luck?

Liverpool supporters would have scoffed at him if they heard him say that, and that goal was more than just luck. Finding an opportunity to kick in front of the penalty area is not a good opportunity for the other strikers, given that the football is 20 metres from goal, there are two or three Arsenal defenders in front of him, and Lehmann, one of the world's best goalkeepers. In this position, even if they find an opportunity, it would be good to score two or three out of ten balls, and Zhang Tiehan faced this kind of ball, almost like others faced one-on-one single-handedly, maybe it was a bit too much, in short, Zhang Tiehan's efficiency was not comparable to others.

It's not luck, it's real strength.

However, the Arsenal players are also annoyed by the defense just now, and if they hear the commentator, they will definitely call out their confidant. They also felt that the defense just now was not done well, they should not have let Zhang Tiehan find a chance in front of the goal, and it was too late for them to defend just now, so they could only watch the opponent get up and shoot.

"Watch the location!"

After Zhang Tiehan scored, defender boss Campbell yelled at his teammates, "You must pay attention to defending him, don't give him any chance!" ”

Although he yelled at his teammates like this, Campbell was also thinking about how he had leaked just now. Their formation has always been very stable, and there was no chaos just now. Why is there a gap in front of the penalty area, and the opponent's No. 13 has seized the opportunity?

It's weird.

And Zhang Tiehan, who scored the goal, didn't think there was anything strange, this is the way he found the running position after observing a game, yes, Arsenal's formation is very stable, and there are no loopholes. But in the same way, his individual ability and speed are not comparable to ordinary players.

Arsenal are very solid and generally don't give themselves a chance, especially on the edge of the box, where he is caught by at least two players.

But their defense was regular.

When he's in the back, there's only Ljungberg or strikers who defend him. The other backcourt players are almost all in the back of the formation, or defend other teammates, there is no time to take care of his defense, his position is also very far back, only when he goes forward, the opponent's defender will come to keep up, this kind of cohesive defense has almost no loopholes, that is, under normal circumstances, he will have the opponent's defenders around him.

But in the wave of attacks just now, he deliberately pulled very back.

When Cesc Fabregas and others defended him, he was still behind the formation, and when the time was almost right, he rushed to the front for the first time and shook off the players who defended him, and at this time the opposing defenders, such as Campbell, were too late to step forward, this is the gap generated by the alternation of defensive players, so he found an opportunity in front of the penalty area, and Garcia's pass came in time, which is the reason why he found the opportunity just now.

It sounds very simple, but for a while, the Arsenal players can't figure it out at all, they still think that there was some mistake just now, and the director Zhang Tiehan found an opportunity.

But it wasn't actually their fault.

This is Zhang Tiehan's personal ability combined with a careful observation of Arsenal's defense to produce the effect, the former is the most important, it must be said that such an opportunity is almost difficult to find other players who are targeted by Arsenal, first of all, it is not easy to get rid of Fabregas and others.

Zhang Tiehan looks very simple to do, and perhaps others can understand that Fabregas and others are not strong in defense.

But in reality?

Don't joke, this is not a simple pass, but to get rid of defense, getting rid of defense and passing people are completely different things, especially when defending Zhang Tiehan, Fabregas and others will not think about stealing directly at all, they know that it is too difficult and difficult to break the ball blindly with their feet, so their method is to follow Zhang Tiehan and not give him the opportunity to pass directly.

In this way, the only way to get rid of the defense is to rely on more explosive speed!

This is the embodiment of Zhang Tiehan's personal ability.

Without the explosive speed that is superior to others, how can you get rid of Fabregas and others? That's almost impossible, Zhang Tiehan can do it, others may not be able to do it, if you want to get rid of him, you have to be faster than his explosive speed, Fabregas Although the defense is average, but when it comes to speed, how many football players in the world dare to say that they are faster than his explosive speed, can throw him off more than two positions in an instant, and can't let him catch up?

Can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

You must know that Wenger has cultivated Cesc Fabregas as the absolute core of Arsenal in the future, how can a nineteen-year-old giant's absolute core not be fast and explosive enough?

Although it sounds simple, it is not easy to figure it out.

Arsene Wenger was also thinking about it in the dugout, having just watched Liverpool's attack. also looked at his side's defense, especially the formation, he didn't find any loopholes, so he could only attribute Zhang Tiehan's finding a chance to shoot on luck.

But as a coach, he definitely has his own ideas.

Before and after Zhang Tiehan ran just now, there was obviously some defense against Arsenal. Just because he didn't understand it for a while doesn't mean that he is sure of his judgment, and he needs more observation to find the reason.

Soon Wenger's opportunity to observe came again.

This time it's Gerrard's passback!

When Zhang Tiehan repeated his old trick and shook off Ljungberg again, he received Gerrard's pass in front of the Arsenal penalty area, about 30 meters away from the goal, and defended with five people for a while, but Zhang Tiehan did not choose to shoot, this position angle is not very good. It's a bit too far away, and he doesn't want to tie the goal to luck with such a hard-won opportunity.

So he quickly dribbled forward.

Fullback Ashley Cole came to make up for it, but at this time Zhang Tiehan had already started to finish, his speed was quite fast, as if he was going to kill directly to the bottom line, and the moment he touched Ashley Cole, he immediately changed direction. Change the direction of the ball to the inside and twist the waist hard. That angle made many fans worry when they watched.

Ashley Cole didn't have time to react before Zhang Tiehan threw him away.

This is an absolute use of speed!

After getting rid of Ashley Cole, Zhang Tiehan has already cut to the middle, his speed is still very fast, the only one who can come over to defend is Toure who stood on the line of the big penalty area just now, he quickly ran over to make up for the defense, but Zhang Tiehan has already changed direction and directly entered the penalty area!

Zhang Tiehan changed direction in front of Toure!

But Toure didn't have time to react. He was standing one meter in front of Zhang Tiehan, and when he twisted his waist, turned around, and wanted to chase the ball, Zhang Tiehan had already entered the penalty area, more than two meters away from him, and Toure started to chase him. Zhang Tiehan has already faced goalkeeper Lehmann alone.

The Stade de France in Paris was boiling for a moment.

Everyone is looking at the ball.

Zhang Tiehan's speed is too fast, his feet are constantly crossed forward, the rhythm of the ball is a little chaotic, and Lehmann has rushed up, Zhang Tiehan has no time to make adjustments, this kind of fast dribbling, want to shoot, especially if you want to shoot accurately is not easy, so when he saw Lehmann rushing over, Zhang Tiehan was also a little panicked, but 'control' helped him know the scene behind him for the first time, so he decisively calmed down, and had time to stretch out his feet on the ball.

Lehmann could only watch as the ball rolled to the right.

On that side, Gerald followed.

Facing the empty goal, the Liverpool captain calmly completed a push, and the football flew into the Arsenal goal.

The ball is in!

4:3, Gerrard scored a goal to help Liverpool overtake the score!

When Zhang Tiehan completed the pass and Gerrard followed, many people on the field, including the managers of the two teams, had already stood up, and saw the football fly into the goal, the Stade de France immediately erupted into a shocking cry, Liverpool supporters are celebrating the goal, the meaning of this goal is not the same as the previous one, Zhang Tiehan's goal just now is to help Liverpool equalize, and he is also the third goal in a row, and this goal belongs to Gerrard, the popularity of the Liverpool captain is no less than Zhang Tiehan, In addition, the game has now been played for almost 80 minutes, and the goals of this time can almost decide the outcome of the game.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”

"Steven—"

"-Gerald-"

"Liverpool overtook the scoreline!! Gerrard! Gerrard! The scene was already boiling, the commentator shouted Gerrard's name, and at the same time, the commentators of various TV stations were also commenting on the goal, and importantly, commenting on the two formations.

Eighty minutes of the game, the score was 4:3, and Liverpool scored one more goal than Arsenal.

This is very beneficial for Liverpool, although Arsenal also performed well in this game, but they have scored one less goal so far, Gerrard's goal may be able to determine the outcome of the game, many people also think so, this goal in the 80th minute is too crucial, the game is only ten minutes away. The situation behind Arsenal is very bad.

In the dugout, Arsene Wenger also frowned.

On the one hand, he was thinking about the state of the team, scoring a goal in the second half, and the overall table was not bad, but Liverpool scored one more goal than Arsenal, and there was not much time left in the game. Does the team still have a chance?

On the other hand, Wenger is also recalling Zhang Tiehan and Gerrard's goals, these two goals can actually be counted on Zhang Tiehan's head, one is Zhang Tiehan's direct shot, just this goal, Gerrard only completed the goal, this is also a great opportunity for Zhang Tiehan to create zào.

How did he create the opportunity to create zào?

It seems obvious that Zhang Tiehan used his speed to shake off Ljungberg and shake off Ashley Cole. Throwing off Toure, passing three people in a row, and entering the penalty area to face the goalkeeper directly, this seems to be the individual play of the star, but Wenger feels wrong, because neither Ashley Cole nor Toure had a chance to defend before, because Zhang Tiehan had already started at that time. He really ran with the ball, and he shook off the two with his speed. But how did he have room to start?

Catch the ball, dribble the ball, start the acceleration.

Ashley Cole and Toure didn't have time to meet Zhang Tiehan at all, and they were thrown away without even having a chance to defend closely, that is to say, in fact, Zhang Tiehan only got rid of Ljungberg alone. And he didn't get the ball yet.

By the time Ashley Cole and Toure go to the defense, it's actually too late.

That's not quite right.

No one knows Arsenal's defence better than Arsene Wenger, both in formation and in small details. There will be no such holes in the team's defense, and under normal circumstances, the opponent's No. 13 will not have space to start with the ball at all, and there should be someone around him to defend.

In connection with Zhang Tiehan's direct shot just now, after he shook off Cesc Fabregas, he directly found an opportunity at the edge of the penalty area to volley, so is it empty?

A flash of surprise flashed across Wenger's face.

He understood why.

The opponent's No. 13 takes advantage of the team's defensive rotation interval, before in the first half, even if the opponent's No. 13 can get rid of the defenders, his own defenders can also make up for the first time, he will stay in front of the big penalty area for a while, this period of time is enough to make the team's defense tighter again.

But now he is not far from the midfield, and he explodes to throw off the defenders, so as to gain a short gap, and it is this gap that he can calmly receive passes, calmly start with the ball or find opportunities to shoot.

It was for this reason that the team conceded twice

Wenger feels incredible, it is like this, but even if he figured it out, there was no good way, let alone game time or anything, this kind of defensive adjustment is not something that can be said clearly in a sentence or two, unless there is another halftime, he can't direct the team to make adjustments.

He could only sit down with a wry smile.

Although the game was still more than ten minutes away and the team was only one goal behind, Wenger knew that it would be difficult for the team to win, it was not a matter of one goal or two goals, but his own defensive gap was found by the best player of the opposing team, so will the next wave of attacks score again? Will the next wave of attacks be more threatening?

Such a confrontation is fundamentally unequal.

Wenger smiled bitterly in his heart, and also had to give a thumbs up to Liverpool's No. 13 on the field, this player, he was optimistic about two years ago, but Arsenal's financial strength was limited, and he missed the best opportunity to buy, and then Arsenal never had a chance again.

Now it seems that two years ago, even if it cost more and paid a higher price, he should have been brought to Arsenal.

His individual ability is too outstanding, and he has such football intelligence, he can find the best way to attack in the game rationally, and he can see through the opponent's defensive holes, and it is no wonder that he can score so many goals.

Such a player would definitely go down in football history!

It's a pity that Arsenal will definitely miss him, and in this game, Wenger can only pin his hopes on God, although he has never believed in God, but now he also hopes that God can help Arsenal.

Champions League winners!

Even the slightest chance had to be sought, and Arsene Wenger sat back in his seat and watched the game calmly, hoping that his team would score another goal in the final minute.

It's just that God is an old man, maybe he is resting today, or God is not on Arsenal's side, in short, in the next five minutes, how Arsenal will attack desperately. I didn't find a good opportunity again.

In the 86th minute of the game, Liverpool launched another wave of attacks.

This time it was Reeser who broke through with the ball on the side, and from the beginning of the game to the present, Reese had almost nothing to show off, except for Zhang Tiehan's goal at the beginning, of course. Except for Riese's funny hypothesis, his appearance is all on defense, such as the defense of full-back Pire, he has always done a good job, but it is really difficult to attract the attention of fans, and naturally Liser is almost forgotten by various commentators and fans.

And now, Riser finally has a table xiàn.

The TV commentator finally mentioned his name as he dribbled past Pire on the right flank for the full game. Pire broke through him a few times, and it was the first time he broke through Pire, maybe Pire was a little tired, and he really couldn't keep up with Reese's speed, but he broke through, and even after the breakthrough, Pire didn't even chase back, just ran in the back.

This time. Reese dribbles the ball straight to the baseline.

Then he chose to hoist the ball into the penalty area, and the three in the middle, Zhang Tiehan, Alonso and Garcia outflanked the front, middle and back three. Zhang Tiehan was at the front point, the football flew too high, he failed to reach the ball, Alonso followed to score with a header, but it still didn't reach the top, and the football fell in front of Garcia. The Spaniard stepped forward to shoot a shot, only to have the ball hit his knee and bounce straight towards goal.

Lehmann was ready to make a save, but the ball hit the knee with great force, even though Garcia landed on the grass after the shot. But the ball flew into the goal and Lehmann didn't have time to save.

Ball, again!

The Arsenal players felt a wave of despair to see Liverpool score again, and the goal was almost fatal, cutting off their hopes of victory.

Liverpool celebrated wildly after the goal.

Garcia was picked up and thrown into the air by a group of teammates, again and again, because it was definitely the winning goal, Garcia's knee helped Liverpool establish a goal advantage, and with less than three minutes left in the game, including no more than seven minutes of stoppage time, this goal was enough to ensure that Liverpool won the Champions League trophy again!

The Liverpool fans cheered.

Many fans began to prepare for the celebration of the championship, and their frantic shouts became the main theme of the Stade de France in Paris.

Rafael Benitez also stood up and looked around and slapped his hands, with the assistant coach and substitute on the bench hugging each other in celebration of the goal, more in celebration of the upcoming victory, while Garcia's name was mentioned by various commentators.

Before coming to Liverpool, Garcia was not well-known.

He was a member of the team when Benitez was in charge of Tenerife, Benitez knew Garcia very well, so after coming to Liverpool, he brought this proud protégé with him, and helped Garcia get a five-year contract.

It's not just this one.

In last year's Champions League, Garcia was also an important contributor to Liverpool's victory, and in the semi-finals against Chelsea, he scored a crucial goal to help Liverpool eliminate Chelsea and advance to the final!

You must know that Liverpool did not have Zhang Tiehan at that time, it was very difficult for Liverpool to score a goal at that time, Liverpool and Chelsea played two legs, and the two sides combined for only one goal, that is, Garcia's goal, which shows how important that goal is.

Now Garcia has scored the key goal again!

This goal can give Liverpool a long breath in the future, they can win the game safely, without worrying about Arsenal having a chance to equalize, the difference between two goals and one goal is completely different, no matter how strong Arsenal's attack is, Liverpool is enough to defend the goal.

Liverpool didn't have much time to celebrate, and soon the game was back in action.

But with only a few minutes remaining, the score was two goals apart, a gap that left the Arsenal players with no hope of an equaliser, and when the game resumed, even they knew in their hearts that it was almost impossible, even as they tried to attack and look for that chance of victory.

Liverpool also began to defend hard.

As the game time slowly passed, Liverpool supporters in the spectator stands also began to shout the slogan of the championship -

"Champion! We are the champions! ”

"Liverpool, champions! We are Champions League winners! ”

"Winning the championship trophy for the second time! Great Liverpool! ”

Many Liverpool fans shouted excitedly in order to celebrate the victory, and some fans excitedly sang the classic team song that belongs to the Red Army - "You Will Never Walk Alone".

[When you pass through the storm]

[Hold your head high]

[Don't be afraid of the dark night sky]

[After the storm ends]

[It's going to be a brilliant sky]

[The lark will show a sweet singing voice]

[Through the Wind]

[Through the rainstorm]

[Let your dreams be shaken and ridiculed]

[Keep going, keep going, hope will live forever in your heart]

[And you will never walk alone]

[Keep going, keep going, hope will live forever in your heart]

[And you will never walk alone]

[You'll never walk alone!]

At first, the sound was just a little bit, and then many local fans in Paris also sang along with the voice, and soon the loud singing resounded throughout the stadium, the red breath spread, and the singing became the main theme of the stadium.

But they still worked hard to get into the game and they didn't want to miss out on the excitement.

Finally the game time passed.

Until the end, Arsenal failed to score another goal, and Liverpool won the Champions League again with a 5-3 victory over Arsenal with goals from Zhang Tiehan, Gerrard and Garcia! (To be continued......)
