Chapter 127: The Final Sprint (3)
Carefully guarding the ball at his feet, Smitchell calmly looked at Silva who was blocking in front of him. Although Smitchell has not played against Silva due to injury, Smitchell knows very well that the guy in front of him not only has the outstanding foot skills of South American players, but also is not weak in defensive skills.
For such an opponent, Smitchell will not doubt the strength of the opponent at all, Smitchell clearly knows that he is no longer young, endless injuries have made him injured, plus he is getting older, and the speed cannot be compared with before.
So Smitchell didn't intend to go head-to-head with Silva, opting instead to pass the ball and distribute the ball to Gerrard, who was inserted.
It's not good to pass the ball, it's not as fast as others, it's not as good as the body, it's not to talk about the foot, the footwork is not bad, the Silva is from South America, and the footwork is not bad. In comparison, Smitchell can't pass the ball.
Gerrard, who got the ball, immediately rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area with the ball, Gerrard is different from Smitchell, and his outstanding physical condition makes Gerrard have absolute capital in physical confrontation.
No, Ljungberg still wanted to cut off the ball at Gerrard's feet, but he was squeezed aside by Gerrard's strong body and ran over from Ljungberg's eyes.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and it turned out that Gerrard saw that George and Owen and others were very tightly guarded by Arsenal defenders, and they had no chance to shoot with the ball, so they were thirty meters away from the goal. Gerrard opted to shoot himself.
Signature powerful long-range shots with a lot of power. The ball was fast and flew towards the top left corner of the ball. However, Seaman did not give Gerrard, a young teammate of the national team, face, and despite his advanced age, Seaman still maintained a high level of competitive condition. Amid the lamentation of more than 70,000 Liverpool fans, he sideways saved Gerrard's long-range shot.
'Gerrard shoots from distance. Ola, Seaman sideways saved Steven's long-range shot, and Seaman, who was almost forty, still maintained a high level of competitive condition and successfully blocked Gerrard's long-range shot. ”
"Damn, call you greedy for merit. You just passed the ball to me, look big brother I you showed a small continuous shot on goal. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to be so greedy. Seeing that Gerrard's long-range shot was taken by Seaman, George smiled and said Gerrard, and then without giving Gerrard the slightest chance to refute, he turned and drilled into the box, ready to scramble for a corner.
Hear George's words. Gerald looked furious. You're embarrassed to say that I, just now you yourself were not caught between Sigan and Campbell, and you pass the ball, it's like passing the ball directly to the Arsenal players. You're so good. With Sigan and Campbell in the middle, you'll be able to pull off a breakaway shot. You're really when you're Baggio or Maradona.
Smitchell takes a corner. Directly in front of Hyypia by Campbell to set the penalty area. Just got it by Ljungberg. Get the ball Dijungberg. Started with the ball. Towards Liverpool's half-time.
"Hurry back to defense!" Ljungberg was seen rushing towards the Liverpool half with the ball. Hyypia roared. Chased after Ljungberg.
Actually, there is no need to be reminded by Hyypia. Liverpool's ground teammates have started to chase back. After all, in such an important game. No one dares not to work hard.
Ljungberg is very fast. But definitely not the fastest. At least not as good as George and Owen and Cowell. It's not. The three of them were moving at breakneck speed. Chase after Ljungberg.
With excellent explosiveness. George was the first to catch up with Ljungberg. Without the slightest hesitation. It slammed straight into Ljungberg. Started interfering with Ljungberg dribbling and preparing to steal the ball.
"Damn!" Ljungberg carefully guards the ball at his feet. Effortlessly control the center of gravity. While scolding George. Although Ljungbergi is also physically strong. But in the confrontation with Georgeland. It is clear not to have an advantage. George just gave Ljungberg a few strokes. Ljungberg felt as if he was about to be pushed by George.
However, Ljungberg only cursed secretly, not daring to say it. For George, he is a well-known villain, and if Ljungberg dares to scold, George feels that he dares to do it. Ljungberg wouldn't believe that he and George had actually done it, and that he was able to make it out of Anfield and back to London safely.
You must know that there are more than 70,000 Liverpool fans in the entire Anfield stadium now, and there are probably a lot of them outside the stadium.
What's more important is that Ljungberg clearly knows that he is not George's opponent at all, even if he starts with George, he can't beat George, and it is he who suffers, so why should he move with George
I was really forced by George, and the speed had slowed down a lot under George's interference. Ljungberg suddenly chose to pass, after all, this time it was a quick counterattack, if he didn't pass the ball, with the current speed, the Liverpool players would definitely be ready, and the effect of the quick counterattack would be lost.
Ljungberg passed the ball to Thierry Henry, who dropped back to get the ball, and after getting the ball, Henry began to drive the ball towards the Liverpool penalty area.
In the face of Yepes's defense, Henry appeared very calm and began to dribble the ball towards Yepes, ready to pass Yepes, the guy who stood in the way, at any time.
For his own strength, Henry is very confident, even if his foot skills are not as amazing as Bergkamp, but with his proud speed, Henry is confident that his impact will definitely not be smaller than Bergkamp, even
Thinking of this, Henry glanced at Yepes coldly, and immediately flicked the ball towards Yepes's right, and then rushed towards Yepes's right.
"Just want to get over me like this, your French idea is too romantic." Seeing that Henry was about to break through himself, Yepes couldn't help but be furious, this girl clearly looked down on herself. Thinking of this, Yeppeston took a step to his right, ready to teach Henry a lesson.
"Oops!" Carragher on the sidelines saw Yepes' move. Suddenly screamed, and hurriedly rushed behind Yepes. Carragher is well aware of the quality of Arsenal's young striker. Yepes wanted to stop Henry so easily, it was impossible.
Sure enough, Yepes didn't succeed in blocking Henry, because after seeing Yepes involuntarily take a step to the right, Henry couldn't help but sneer. He then took the ball with his right foot, and flicked the ball to the left of Yepes with his toes, and his body suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the left side of Yepes.
Much of it actually happened in a split second, and Henry, with the length of his feet, made a very realistic feint. Let Yepes be fooled, change direction and break through to Yepes.
In fact, in the final analysis, Yepes is not really useless, so it is easy for Henry to break through. You must know that the strength of Yepes is definitely there, otherwise, Lao Bei will not save money. Just find someone to take the place of the departing Hen Keci.
The reason why Yepes let Henry give it so easily, after all, he still doesn't know Henry, after all, the two can be regarded as the first time to fight, if Yepes is familiar with Henry. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Henry to break through Yepes' defense.
"It's so easy." After passing Yepes. Henry couldn't help but sigh that it was not bad for Liverpool to buy this defender. At least it's much easier to deal with than the damn Henk Ci before.
But he didn't wait for Henry to sigh too much, Carragher, who had been prepared for a long time, was like a tiger out of the cage. Rushing towards Henry, before Henry could react, he cut off the ball at Henry's feet.
"Carragher, Carragher appeared in the most suitable place when Liverpool was most dangerous, successfully broke the ball, and avoided Arsenal's chance to get a one-on-one goal, Carragher broke the ball this time, which is definitely a meritorious service."
The moment Carragher cut off the ball at Henry's feet, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly erupted in a round of applause, and it was clear that Liverpool fans were still very satisfied with Carragher's performance as his "own" person. (I am referring to the players who have been trained in the Liverpool youth training camp)
Seeing that Henry's ball was cut off by Carragher, Lao Bei, who had been very nervous on the sidelines, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Carragher, the weight of Carragher was a little heavier.
Indeed, Carragher, a player who also came out of Liverpool's youth training camp, is not as glamorous as George, Gerrard and Owen, and does not have the role of Hyypia in the backline. But Carragher's strength is absolutely undoubted, and it can be said that it is on par with Hyypia.
Every time Hyypia stepped forward to fight for a header, Carragher became the core of Liverpool's backline, bravely provoking Liverpool's defensive beams, blocking the opponent's quick counterattacks and dangers again and again.
Carragher did not rush towards Arsenal's half with the ball, after all, Liverpool's backline has not yet been arranged, if he leaves, in case the ball is cut off by Arsenal's people in the middle, a big foot pass, I am afraid that Henry and Bergkamp will be able to play a breakthrough shot, and these two definitely have this strength.
It was for this reason that Carragher distributed the ball directly to the feet of Smitchell on the wing, and when he saw Silva rushing towards him, Smitchell crossed the ball to Colwill on the other side of the pitch.
Due to the time just now, the ball has been flying around on the right side of Liverpool, and unconsciously, the Arsenal players are slowly leaning towards Liverpool's right side, and the left side suddenly seems very empty.
Got Smitchell's pass, looked at the person in front of him, saw this situation, Colwill did not have any reason, directly with the ball to the front, in this situation of no interference and defense, Colwill can run with the ball happily, do not have to worry about others will break the ball.
Thinking of this, every time Colwill touches the ball, he kicks the ball ten meters away from the forward, which can allow Colwill to better play his speed. In this way, Colwill instantly increased his speed to the extreme, and the cheerful and frightened Wenger stood on the sidelines and yelled.
"Damn it!" Seeing Cowell running so happily, Lauren disagreed, scolded secretly, and rushed towards Cowell. However, Lauren seems to have forgotten that Colwill is also very good at his feet, and he was already famous in the Premier League when he was at Leeds.
Seeing Lauren rushing towards him, Colwill glanced at Lauren with great disdain, and broke through Lauren easily and simply with a ball. When Sigan gave up on George and was about to rush up, Colwill pulled out his foot and fired five meters outside the penalty line.
You must know that Colwill is definitely a talented player, it can be said that he is a well-rounded midfielder, whether it is a breakthrough or a pass, an attack or a defensive tackle, Colwill is good at everything.
At the same time, although Colwill played the left midfield position in Liverpool, when he was in Leeds, Colwill played as a winger, and in the Australian national team, Colwill still played as the main striker. It was in this environment that Colwill developed a good shooting technique, and the ball flew directly towards the bottom left corner of the goal, almost touching the ground towards the goal.
"Damn!" Seaman yelled and lunged sideways towards the ball. Seaman wondered, what the hell is this Lauren doing, he is not usually very fierce, so he let the other party give it to Colwill like this.
"It's over!" Seaman watched the ball fly before it could be blocked in his palm, and was taken aback and thought sadly.
"Boom!" A muffled sound suddenly made Seaman feel very lucky, because this sound is the sound of the ball hitting the post, which means that the ball has not gone in.
Thinking of this, Seaman quickly turned around, ready to pounce on the ball in his arms, so as not to be shot into the net by the Liverpool player. However, when Seaman turned around, he was relieved, and it turned out that the ball had rolled out of the bottom line at this time, which meant that Colwill's shot hit the outside post and bounced off the bottom line.
"It's a pity, Colwill's shot is of high quality, but it's a pity that it's a little bit unlucky, otherwise Liverpool would have taken the lead, it's a pity
Not only the commentators, but also the Liverpool fans and other players felt very sorry that if this goal could be scored, the rest of the game would have been played.
"!" Seeing that his shot hit the post and popped off the bottom line, Colwill couldn't help but curse, it's a pity that such a good opportunity didn't score, this is probably the best chance of Liverpool's first half.
If Colwill's shot was saved and missed by Seaman, I'm afraid Colwill wouldn't feel so pity, but it hit the post and popped up the bottom line, so how could Colwill feel that it was not a pity.
As Colwill slowly retreated towards the back, he complained to himself that if he had just shot a little more wide, he would have scored
Half an hour into the game, Liverpool and Arsenal both played very resolutely on the pitch, without the slightest intention of defending, as long as they had the opportunity, they passed the ball directly to the feet of their teammates in front of the opponent's penalty area, and then shot.
However, due to the tight defence of both sides, at least for the time being, neither side has a chance to score. However, the attack of both sides did not reserve at all, which made the game very intense, and suddenly made more than 70,000 fans on the scene continue to sigh.
It seems that God also feels that he needs to add a little trouble to Arsenal and Liverpool, and the ownership of the Premier League title is determined in a simple 90 minutes, which is really boring.
No, when the game was 37 minutes into the game, a light rain had begun to fall in the sky, obviously, God also had to test the overall strength of the team that could win the championship, it was not enough to just play the game, and the rain battle still needed to be verified.
"Damn, that's fine!" After receiving Smitchell's pass, Owen immediately knocked the ball to George on the side, but because it was raining, the ground was very slippery, and the ball rolled a few times, and it stopped because of the rain and lawn problems, and was grabbed by the unceremonious Sigan and passed to Cole on the side.
Seeing this scene, Owen couldn't help but look up at the sky and found that it was getting darker and darker, obviously, this rain was not a shower, I am afraid that in the second half of the game, both sides have to play under heavy rain, which is undoubtedly bad news for both sides. (To be continued.)
