Chapter 375: Never Walk Alone

The Liverpool anthem infected the lost Liverpool players on the pitch.

If the "half-time wine" has inspired the players of Sporting Lisbon, they have overcome their fitness crisis and burst out with strength beyond the norm.

At this moment, the melody of "Never Walk Alone" is like an ancient war song, allowing Liverpool's players to feel the power of all players and stars in team history.

They are not alone!

They are not alone!

The camera swept over the stands, and current England manager and former Liverpool legend Kevin Keegan also stood up, singing Never Walk Alone.

At this moment, Kevin Keegan, Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish and other superstars possessed their souls, and the Liverpool players quickly lined up, ready to kick off with a heavy heart, for the most important final minutes of the season for them!

The showers gradually stopped, and the clouds dispersed, as if to symbolize that the gloom of Liverpool was over.

A whistle blows and the game resumes.

All of Sporting Lisbon's players, including Ibrahimovic Ibrahimovic, were recycled into their own half.

Deng Kai commanded every teammate to defend and did not give Liverpool any chance.

Such behavior should have been booed by fans.

But there were no boos.

All that was around was Liverpool's team song, which was incessant and trembling.

Soon the regular game time was over.

The fourth official on the sidelines played a five-minute stoppage card.

Because there were more goals in the second half, so it was such a long stoppage time.

Trigra immediately complained to the fourth referee, arguing that stoppage time was too long, but it was clearly in vain.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Owen received the ball and ate Bento directly after retreating, and Bento was brought down.

Bento was booked.

Deng Kai and Gerard's eyes looked at Bento at the same time, and then paid attention to each other.

Deng Kai had a loud alarm in his heart.

Bento's mobility is even worse than Deschamps', and at the same time, his defensive prediction, positional sense, ball quotient, etc. are not as good as Deschamps.

"Mateus, you lean towards Bento, I'll take care of it." Deng Kai adjusted his position and strengthened the protection behind Bento.

But at the same time, Gerrard is also communicating with his team-mates.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Liverpool were on the verge of their first-ever treble.

However, Gerrard, who has never been good at breaking through, went so far as to challenge Portugal's defensive midfielder Paulo Bento directly through a dribble at his feet.

Bang!

Gerrard's feints didn't fool Bento, but he didn't count on that either.

He plucked the ball straight and then ran away, eating Bento with his speed.

Bento even pulled and dragged him, but he was overturned by Gerrard.

Bang!

Before Gerard, who had passed Bento, could make any other moves, the whole person flew directly into the air.

Tick tick!

The referee blew the whistle frantically.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Mateus, who was putting the shovel.

The Liverpool players gathered around in an emotional state.

"Mateus! It was a crucial defensive move, with Mateus bringing down Gerrard, who would otherwise have been able to shoot from distance and find Owen and Fowler in front of him...... But Mateus is definitely going to be a card this time. ”

"The referee stopped the clash between the two sides, he called Mateus, it's going to be a license!"

"Red card! Really! Mateus, this is indeed a red card move! There was no problem with the referee's decision! ”

'Mateus' decisive ability is really strong, he doesn't hesitate, but if he is half a second slower, Gerrard is really unstoppable.

"A red card is costly, but given the rest of the game, there's a good chance that Matthaus contributed a textbook foul defence!"

"Sporting Lisbon fans gave the Ballon d'Or a round of applause."

"Liverpool fans are abusive, and it seems that they also know that it is Liverpool who is losing more."

'Liverpool got a well-placed free-kick, but a little bit away...... Who will take the free-kick? ”

"Gerald! Surprisingly, it turned out to be Gerald! ”

Sporting Lisbon's side is lining up a crowd wall.

They don't know anything about Gerrard's penalty habits, as there is no Gerrard among Liverpool's top three free-kick takers.

This is a temporary decision.

Soon, though, Owen was behind the football.

It was a two-man free-kick tactic and Gerrard was likely to cover it.

Everyone thinks so.

Backbite!

A whistle blows.

Bang!

As soon as the whistle blew, Gerrard, who was closer to the football, swung his leg directly on the spot and kicked the football to the right side of the wall.

This kick was so sudden!

Owen, who is in the top 10 of the world's Footballer of the Year, has not yet moved, and a small Gerrard directly takes a free kick, which is ......

Bang!

On the right side of the human wall, Ronaldo has a quick eye and pounces on the football.

Gerrard's kick was not a direct shot, but a pass.

Bang!

However, Robbie Fowler was quicker with his left foot and shot the football out with one kick.

Swish!

Blocked by the view of the defenders, Schmeichel did not see the football at all.

The ball went straight into the net.

Liverpool's players rushed to the corner flag area like crazy.

"In! Entered, entered, entered! Liverpool! Liverpool never walks alone! ”

"It's really in! Oh cake sellers! ”

"God! This game is really godly! ”

"In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Liverpool equalized with a free-kick! 4-4 equalised! ”

"If Deng Kai's direct goal from a corner kick is the most direct embodiment of Sporting Lisbon's youth storm, then Gerrard's handling of this free kick is also a flash of genius!"

"Gerrard, one pass and one shot, he is Liverpool's Beckham!"

"Of course, the most important thing is Fowler! Fowler's shot was steady and fast! It's hard to imagine what the story would have been like if it had been a Husky shot! ”

"Robbie Fowler! This is God's genius killer! He's reminiscent of United's substitute killer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but he's a lot better than that! ”

"Houllier's arrangement was simply impeccable, and the replacement of Gerrard and Fowler was the best decision he ever made! This is a generation of famous marshals! ”

"In that case, there is a good chance that the game will go to extra time."

'It's bad news for Sporting Lisbon as they will only be able to play with 10 men in extra time, and even if they still have the last substitution in their hands, the physical depletion of most of their players is irreversible.

'The players at Sporting Lisbon played a perfect second half with willpower, but they couldn't have played another quality extra-time.

"On the contrary, Liverpool have a complete squad and the players are in slightly better physical condition, and once it goes to extra time, UEFA can really give them the trophy directly!"
