Chapter 1015: Miracles (Part I)
After falling behind by two goals, Liverpool's players were woken up, it turned out that they still felt that Liverpool was a giant team, they were stars, and a team like Besiktas, not only should win, but also win beautifully, they should use skill and awareness to defeat the opponent, instead of winning the game with diligence and roughness like the opponent, and now, they have no care about what giants are not giants, stars are not stars, no matter what means and methods are used, they must save a little face, and never lose here like a wreck. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A desperate run, mad dog-like scramble, desperate to shoot Liverpool is terrible, Liverpool's strength has the upper hand, and now in diligence and fighting spirit is stronger than Besiktas, the game has almost become one-sided, Besiktas can still defend the half-court attack and defense, and now it has been completely suppressed to its own 30-meter area, and there is only the strength of defense to fight back and attack.
The commentator at the scene said helplessly: "Liverpool's strength is still strong, but Besiktas's luck is really good, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I need to continue to be accompanied by good luck if I don't want to lose the ball." ”
Chinese commentator Duan Xuan said: "Besiktas doesn't seem to want to put an iron bucket formation, but now it can't be done, this is a forced iron bucket formation, but Liverpool has no space to attack, it depends on their shooting skills, if they can't break the goal for a long time, I'm afraid they can only pull back a goal in the end and save a little face." ”
Regardless of whether it is active or passive, now Besiktas is in a state of intensive defense, which is too demanding for Liverpool players' shooting skills, and the kick must be fast, and it will be blocked if it is not fast; The line must be accurate, there are too many people in the penalty area, and the space left for the player to shoot is extremely narrow, if it is not accurate enough, it will either hit the player or deviate from the goal; The strength must be great, and the goalkeeper Alican is on full alert, and without any strength, he must have pounced.
Obviously, there are not many Liverpool players with such shooting skills, but the situation now is that because Besiktas is defending intensively in their own 30-metre area, everyone in Liverpool players has a chance to shoot, and when they are two goals down, everyone is eager to equalize, and after getting the ball, they can shoot with their feet when they see the opportunity to shoot.
In the ten minutes after Liverpool conceded the second goal, Liverpool had six consecutive shots on goal, almost one in less than two minutes, but there was only one real threat to the goal, and that was because Gerrard's shot hit the defender's leg and changed direction, allowing goalkeeper Alican to save in the wrong direction, but the ball still did not fly into the net, just grazed the post and flew off the line.
Although there is a chance to score when there is a shot, but what makes Liverpool fans and the coaching staff stuffed is that Chen Yu has not many opportunities to shoot, among these six shots, Chen Yu only once, the striker does not get the opportunity to shoot, and the defender and midfielder shoot randomly, which is intolerable to the coaching staff.
When serving a corner, Benitez replaced midfielder Pennant and replaced striker Crouch and played a three-striker tactic, although Crouch has been playing as a substitute during this time, and his condition is average, but he has the advantage of height, and when he crosses, he will still be able to form some threats at this point, and although Pennant's skills are good, his skills are not delicate enough to be able to kill a bloody way in a dense crowd, and it is not as good as leaving him on the field to leave the strong Babbel.
After Crouch came on the field, Liverpool also became a three-striker lineup of 433, but the effect of the three-striker lineup was not obvious, Crouch is not a monster-level striker like Drogba, he is a big bamboo pole, and he was staggered by the fierce Besiktas in the penalty area, not to mention how much threat he created, that is, he couldn't attract as much defense as Gerrard and Chen Yu did, that is, he ferried when competing for high-altitude balls, but there were Besiktas players everywhere, and it was difficult to form a shooting space after ferrying.
Although the attack is very difficult, but Liverpool did not give up, as a championship team and a long-established giant, Liverpool players still have a very strong sense of honor, if they lose the game without any temper at all, they really can't afford to lose face, so the players are very unified in attacking thinking, of course, they are also very impatient.
In the 75th minute of the game, Liverpool's superstar Chen Yu showed the fans his strong long-range shooting ability.
At that time, Gerrard had already come to the forward position, standing behind Crouch, although Crouch was weak to shoot under the defense of the defender, and did not pose much threat to goalkeeper Arikán, but after all, his height advantage was too obvious, and he could often grab the landing point, and occasionally he could ferry to his teammates, this time he was ferried in front of Gerrard.
Gerrard looked at the defender in front of him, he also lost the desire to shoot from a distance, broke through to the penalty area with the ball, wanted to attract the defense and then pass the ball, if he could get a free kick would be better, and the free kick tactic is also a key tactic when breaking the dense defense.
Gerrard is the only star in the Liverpool squad whose deterrent power is Chen Yu, he breaks through with the ball, Besiktas's players must be trapped, seeing the opponent coming towards him, Gerrard passes the ball to the side to find his teammate Chen Yu, and he comes to answer, and wants to play a few passes with Chen Yu at the front of the penalty area to cooperate with Besiktas's defense.
Now Liverpool's players are in a hurry, and they can't equalize or even reverse immediately, even if Gerrard is the captain, if he doesn't want the ball, most of the balls will not come back after they are passed, and whoever gets the ball will shoot directly. So Gerrard now just wants to play with Chen Yu a few more times.
However, what Gerrard didn't expect was that Chen Yu also shot directly.
Chen Yu did not stop the ball, nor did he mean to stop the ball, it seemed that he was ready to shoot when the ball came over, he let the ball go with his front foot, and shot on his heel.
Although Chen Yu's ball is directly volleyed, but the force is very full and accurate, the ball hits the surface of the foot and ankle, at the moment when the ball touches the foot, Chen Yu also tenses his muscles, straightens the instep, and kicks out a beautiful elevator ball.
The ball initially arced high, past the dense defenders in the box, and suddenly accelerated and fell less than five meters from the goal, flying to the left side of the goal.
Players who bypass the penalty area, the speed is not slowed down at all, the threat to the goalkeeper is too great, although Besiktas's goalkeeper Alican has been very concentrated, in the first time Chen Yu shot to start saving, but such a ball is still very difficult for him, he thought that he could use the palm of his hand to hit the ball out, but the position of the ball was the fingertip, and the ball rubbed the bottom line of the goalpost.
As a fan, I felt that the ball was a threat when I saw the ball touch the goalpost, and the more professional people began to exclaim after Chen Yu got up, and the exclamation was even louder after Alican saved Chen Yu's shot.
The first exclamation was because Chen Yu was surprised that he could hit the elevator ball with this volley, and the second exclamation was because Besiktas's goalkeeper Alikan's save was so beautiful, such a ball could actually be saved, this is definitely a super-level performance, if this was Alikan's normal level, he would not have stayed in Besiktas for so long, and he had already been poached by those giants.
Besiktas' players also came over to pat Alikan and give him a thumbs up, and the performance of these Besiktas players also reflected that this shot was indeed a big threat, and it was a combination of ability and luck to be able to save.
Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity, because there were too many defenders in the penalty area and many attacking players, the space was greatly compressed, which was really not conducive to header shooting.
With Chen Yu's elevator ball just now as a precedent, Gerrard, who took the corner kick this time, once again drove the ball to the periphery of the penalty area, looking for Ager, who had returned from injury for the first time, and let Ager shoot.
There are several long-range shooters in Liverpool's team, Gerrard and Chen Yu needless to say, Alonso and Reese are also well-known figures in long-range heavy artillery, only Ager has these people's long-range shooting skills, but lacks enough fame and respect, so Gerrard will look for Ager when he crosses.
However, Ager has just returned from injury, although he has a good grasp of the landing point of the ball, but he does not grasp his body well enough, his kick is a little late, and he lacks Chen Yu's subtle movements at the moment of touching the ball, so that the same volley hit, Chen Yu made all the Besiktas people break out in a cold sweat, and Ager's shot made everyone laugh, because the ball flew straight into the stands.
This was an unsuccessful corner kick cooperation, but Liverpool's players did not blame and anger their teammates, Ager was Liverpool's main central defender before the injury, and his long-range shots and headers were also very reliable, at this time, the strikers led by Chen Yu came to comfort him first, and then Gerrard also came over, so that Ager did not have to worry and slowly adapted.
"It's okay, I believe in myself, if you pass me again, I'll take it."
Ager was ashamed and guilty of shooting so outrageously, but he didn't lose faith in himself, he had always been a success, and he wouldn't let this shot affect his emotions.
The game went on, and Liverpool still had absolute possession.
After the team teamed up to break through Besiktas's dense defence, Liverpool's players began to take turns to launch individual breaks into Besiktas' defence, using individual breakthroughs to create set-piece opportunities and shots.
In terms of breakthrough alone, the strongest must be Chen Yu and Gerrard, the two of them did play the role of the vanguard under the cover and reception of their teammates, and from time to time pierced Besiktas's defense like a sharp knife, but Besiktas's defensive thickness was too thick, and the hole was just torn open, and someone immediately made up for it, and the opportunity was fleeting, and it was difficult for Liverpool's players to grasp it.
In the blink of an eye, the game time reached eighty minutes, Liverpool was still two goals behind, at this time almost all Liverpudlians were desperate, although Liverpool fans were still singing the song "You will never walk alone", but there was no confidence in the voice, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Duan Xuan, the Chinese commentator standing on the commentary seat, was anxious and said: "There must be a goal at this time, if you can't score at this time, Liverpool will lose, what about Chen Yu?" Chen Yu! You have to step up! If you don't stand up again, there will be no time later. ”
Benitez on the sidelines also kept waving and shouting, and his anxiety was overflowing.
At this time, some Liverpool players began to give up their efforts, and passed the ball to Chen Yu and Gerrard, and they no longer had hope of scoring goals.
It was at this time that Chen Yu received the ball near the bottom line, but he did not cross, but quickly cut to the penalty area after a fake pass.
After Crouch came on the field, Liverpool's side bottom cross tactics were used a lot, but the effect was average, and the dense defensive Besiktas players were not afraid, so in the face of Liverpool's bottom cross, they didn't foul if they couldn't keep up, so let Liverpool's players pass, they just held the middle and let Liverpool's cross be useless, so Chen Yu didn't follow up to intercept when he crossed from the bottom line.
Liverpool can cross from the bottom line, but can't cut inside, especially Chen Yu, let alone let him cut inside, seeing Chen Yu cut to the penalty area, the Besiktas players were shocked, at least two players quickly pounced to the side, wanting to block Chen Yu outside the penalty area, because it was difficult to do it when he entered the penalty area, and he didn't dare to foul.
However, Chen Yu's speed was very fast, and he entered the penalty area before the defenders, and when the defender Tolaman stepped down, Chen Yu smashed the ball from the bottom line in less than half a meter and continued to dribble towards the goal post.
The impact of Chen Yu was even more terrifying, and the attention of almost all Besiktas players attracted Chen Yu's side, but at this time Chen Yu did not pass horizontally, but vigorously passed the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
Chen Yu used too much force to pass the ball, and when it flew through the gap, Besiktas's players tried to intercept it but couldn't touch it.
Liverpool had Gerrard at the top of the penalty area, but Chen Yu's pass was too fast, and Gerrard couldn't grab the ball, so he could only watch the ball fly past him.
Chen Yu just wanted to pass it to Gerrard, but he couldn't pass the ball fast, otherwise it would be broken.
Seeing Gerrard leak the ball, the fans in the stands sighed, feeling that this good opportunity was missed, because Chen Yu had just cut into the penalty area, attracting the players in the middle to the side, and the players in the straight line between the top of the penalty area and the goal were greatly reduced.
However, at this time, everyone suddenly found that there was a Liverpool player almost seven or eight meters behind Gerrard, he was Agger, the speed of the ball had slowed down when it flew in front of Agger, and it was rolling towards Ag, Ag barely made any adjustments, and jerked towards the ball.
