Volume 1 The Red Sun Rises Chapter 140 Drop the Chain
In the 38th minute, Nunez broke through the half-court pass after stealing Faye, but unfortunately Colwill hesitated on the edge of the penalty area and was finally caught up by the opponent to steal and cut off the opportunity.
In the 42nd minute, Lualua's shot from the penalty area was blocked by Dudek.
O'Neal's follow-up shot was caught directly by Dudek.
It seems that Dudek has been suffocated after sitting on the cold bench for so long, and he behaves like a god descending from heaven.
In the 47th minute, Gerrard's powerful shot was blocked by the crossbar.
Portsmouth kicked off and was tackled directly by Liverpool and Colwill's shot from inside the box went wide of the post.
At half-time, neither side made any personnel changes.
In the 56th minute, Colwill's powerful shot was again unlucky and missed.
In the 58th minute, Ashdowne made two brilliant saves in quick succession, first saving Nunez's shot and then saving Hamann's close-range header.
In the 69th minute, Colwill's shot was saved again by Ashdowne.
At this time, Zhao Yuyu replaced Josemi.
As soon as Zhao Yuyu came on the field, he was pulled to the ground in the process of breaking through with the ball and created a free kick.
At this time, of course, Zhao Yuyu personally took the punishment.
Looking at Zhao Yuyu, who was standing quietly in front of the ball, Ashdown was like a big enemy, loudly commanding his teammates to arrange the human wall.
Until now, no one dares to despise Zhao Yuyu's free kick anymore.
After the referee blew the whistle, Zhao Yuyu was running with all his might, but he only dialed the ball to the top of the arc of the big penalty area.
Gerrard pulled out his foot and shot, but Ashdowne, who was choked by Zhao Yuyu, didn't react at all, and the football went straight to the bottom of the net.
Liverpool 1:0 Portsmouth
Change the situation on the field when you play, this is Zhao Yuyu's label.
Liverpool came close to sealing the win in the 86th minute when Zhao Yuyu's shot into the box was blocked by Portsmouth defender De Zeeu.
Zhao Yuyu slew to grab the football again and quickly passed to Colwill, but Colwill's shot was cleverly saved by Ashdowne.
In stoppage time, the game was excellent in the face of Taylor's cross, and Dudek put on a show of butter hands.
The ball was saved and Lualua, who was on the track, scored an empty goal with a header from close range to equalise the score.
1:1
Dudek can't help but boast.
The team that was the most likely to come back conceded the three points they had in the final moments.
The ability to take advantage of opportunities is poor, which is Liverpool's old age. Something went wrong, half a season has passed, and it still hasn't been solved.
It was supposed to take advantage of Manchester United's napping to open the gap with them.
In the final match of the 17th round of the Premier League held the day before, Manchester United, who had won four consecutive games, were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by Fulham.
Coincidentally, they also conceded points in the final moments of the game.
It was the 87th minute of the game when Diop, nicknamed the 'long-legged wardrobe' of Fulham, equalised with a long-range shot from 30 yards out.
Manchester United's problems, like Liverpool's, are poor ability to grasp scoring opportunities.
United had a chance to seal the win in the first half, but Keane and Wayne Rooney both hit the post and Cristiano Ronaldo slid a solo shot off the post.
Now Liverpool have 32 points and Manchester United 30 points, and the two teams are in fourth and fifth place.
The only good news is that the media no longer blows Rooney's Golden Boy Award, which makes Zhao Yuyu's ears much cleaner.
After all, the Golden Boy Award represents more talent, and this season alone, Rooney's performance is actually not as good as Zhao Yuyu.
Wayne Rooney's hat-trick on his debut at United was a flash, but he also scored just three goals in his subsequent nine league appearances, with a shot success rate of less than 18 per cent and even every 204 minutes.
The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the second place in the Golden Boy Award, he is not without the ability to step up and change the situation on the field at critical moments, but it is the link that needs to be improved by excessively showing off his dribbling skills and ignoring the echo with his teammates.
This season, the Portuguese have made 14 league appearances and made a whopping 63 crosses, but only one successful assist!
Compared with Zhao Yuyu, who has repeatedly played a key role in the game, their performance is actually not enough to see.
Zhao Yuyu doesn't have much energy to care about how the media performs, and he needs to adjust his body and mind.
Starting with Olympiacos' UEFA Champions League and ending with Newcastle in the next round of the league, four games in 12 days will of course need to be well prepared.
And as the winter window approaches, the current situation of the shortage of major generals has made Liverpool's management also fall into a scorching busy.
To solve Liverpool's personnel crunch once and for all, the winter transfer window is an opportunity to solve it once and for all, and it is a month that Benitez cannot afford to waste.
The first is to confirm that Gerrard will not leave the team, and Gerrard's clear assurance that he will not leave the team has reassured the club's senior management, after all, Gerrard is not Owen.
The scars caused by Owen's transfer have not healed to this day, and the highly-expected Frenchman Cisse has broken his leg and missed the entire season, which makes Benitez's possibility of buying a striker a must.
Liverpool have scored 30 goals in 17 league games this season, which is not low, but the success rate of shots on goal is only 10.9%, far lower than Arsenal's 19.9%, and even worse than Everton's 11.7%.
This situation has made a reliable striker a necessity for Liverpool.
Rumours are rife, but Morientes is the number one target, even if the Spaniards say £12 million, and Morientes himself is unlikely to play for the Reds in Europe because he has played for Real Madrid in the Champions League, and the pressure has forced the Anfield board to think carefully.
As for Morientes' whereabouts, it is not only the price that is deciding, the Real Madrid striker said for the first time in an interview with the newspaper "Teams" a few days ago that he will transfer in the winter, which is equivalent to giving Liverpool the green light for further action.
Despite tough negotiations, Morientes is likely to join by the end of January, as the deal is in the interest of both clubs – Liverpool are in desperate need of a world-class striker, while Real Madrid have a surplus of goalscorers.
The Spain international is now the fourth striker at Real Madrid behind Raul, Ronaldo and Owen.
Of course, Liverpool are also ready for second-hand use, and Manchester City's French striker Nicolas Anelka could also return to Anfield.
Steven Gerrard has publicly expressed his desire to bring in Nicolas Anelka to solve the striker crisis. Shiwadell also said that Anelka could report to Liverpool at any time as long as the price was right.
Anelka's repeated criticism of Manchester City as a small club has become a target within the team.
The Frenchman's recklessness has infuriated the rest of City's players and loyal fans, so the club, who are currently £63 million in debt, are willing to push him into the transfer market, shake off the burden of high wages, and appease a lot of internal grievances – provided the price is right.
In addition to the top priority of the forward line, which needs to be solved urgently, the goalkeeper is also a position that Liverpool has to consider.
In Liverpool's previous three games, Kirkland, who was the starting goalkeeper, was in a very low state, especially in the Liverpool derby, and Carsley's goal Kirkland was inescapable of being responsible.
While Benitez denied after the game that Kirkland was to blame for the defeat, the statistics show that Kirkland's save success rate this season is just 48 per cent, the lowest of any main goalkeeper in the Premier League.
With Kirkland injured in the last round, Poland goalkeeper Dudek finally got a chance to start the game, but the game ended up ruining the victory.
In desperation, Benitez has begun to make contact with England Under-21 goalkeeper Carson, who plays for Leeds United.
While Leeds United, who are mired in debt, are hoping to get £1.5 million from Carson's transfer, the final price of the transfer is likely to be half as much as Carson's contract with Leeds expires next summer.
This can be regarded as a rush to the doctor, can such a little guy be useful, is everyone Zhao Yuyu?
