Section 602 Milan's Crisis
(Cat flutter Chinese) was still seized by Henry and scored a goal, which made Zhao Yaning feel frustrated.
Henry is still Henry after all, even if it is another player, his strength is still there. Liverpool didn't score a penalty, and everyone was stunned for less than three seconds, but Henry seized the opportunity and played a counter-attack.
Such a result of the game, Liverpool players naturally refused to accept it. Soon, Liverpool launched an even more fierce attack. However, Senderos and Toure also held the penalty area to the death, and Arsenal's formation began to shrink, and they were about to fight Liverpool.
Liverpool's bad luck was clearly not gone: Figo broke into the box and fired a shot past Lehmann that went wide of the far post. Then, a long overhead pass from Alonso was again unsuccessful due to offside issues.
Liverpool's attacking tempo was getting faster and faster, but it was still ineffective, and finally, after Alonso's long-range shot hit the post wide, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
'Liverpool swallowed a deserved defeat.'
After the game, Lineker, who commented on the game, was not very happy with both sides of the game, "Arsenal gave the opponent too many chances, and their letting go was completely like an amateur. If anyone deserves the most points in this game, I think the posts are a good idea. And Liverpool let go of too many opportunities, Milito is not a person who will play softly in the big game, why did he play so poorly this time? Both sides did not play well enough, for example, after losing Vieira, Arsenal did not know how to defend, and after losing Zhao Yaning, Liverpool did not know how to attack the supreme warrior calmly. ”
This problem is obviously more obvious on Arsenal's side. After losing Patrick Vieira this season, they were brought on Campbell and Ashley Cole, and the backcourt was almost completely crippled, so naturally there was little to talk about defense. Although their offense is still sharp, beautiful, and gorgeous, their defense is extremely unbearable, and when they repeatedly break through the opponent's door, their own gate is also repeatedly shot into a sieve by the opponent.
On Liverpool's side, it's a different matter. After losing Zhao Yaning, they did still have an attack, but they lost the calmness and calmness when holding the ball in the front court. In the past, because there was a Zhao Yaning, who could take the ball in the front court, make the ball, and even pull the defensive line, the Liverpool players were very calm with the ball. However, in this game, although it seems that there is not much change, their space to hold the ball has become smaller after all, which also makes them have to speed up the pace and attack and defend quickly with the enemy, and the result of this is that they cannot seize the opportunity.
"In this game, the worst player was undoubtedly Diego Milito. Two offsides, a post and a missed penalty. This season, he has been playing well, many have called him Liverpool's new killer, and it is said that Argentina is also considering him in the national team this World Cup. But in this game, his performance was still not satisfactory. A qualified killer shouldn't be soft in such a big competition. ”
When he saw the comment in the club, Milito bowed his head wordlessly. But his teammates scolded one after another, "When did Diego get weak?" Can one game tell the whole story? ”
In fact, Milito is rarely soft-footed. Although his style of play is not very tough, it is not close to softness. He's a good striker, whether it's shooting, movement, playmaking, coordination, it's very good. When he played against strong teams, he also scored many goals, and there were not many times when he really didn't play well.
It's just that this game seems to be too important and too eye-catching.
Milito himself understands what is going on: this season, he has been hoping to rely on his own efforts to catch the bus to the World Cup in Germany. Such a request is not too much, the main striker of the most big team, what is too much to want to play in the World Cup? However, Argentina is Argentina after all, and this opportunity is not easy to get. And in this game, the national team sent someone to investigate, and he originally hoped to play more, but who knows, the mentality is unbalanced, but something went wrong......
I'm afraid that after this game, the national team will be far away again.
"It doesn't matter, whatever they say about soft-footed shrimp is untenable. Now that this round is over, we still have our own home game. If you win that one, won't it be over? In that game, I'll pass you the ball and I'll make sure you'll score! ”
Zhao Yaning comforted Milito a few words, but he couldn't find too good words. Milito didn't say anything hard after all - in fact, this 0-1 away loss to Arsenal made Zhao Yaning in the stands helpless and made him feel quite strange. Arsenal's home stadium is like a demon, saying nothing to concede a goal. Three posts, two offsides, one penalty missed, such things are really speechless.
However, fortunately, it was only a 0-1 loss, and the next game was held at Liverpool's home stadium, and the Liverpool players felt that the possibility of a comeback was still not small.
'When Arsenal arrive at Anfield, there's going to be a tough game for sure. Lineker also saw this, "Moreover, Arsenal has no way to rest this week. Arsenal have four games to go, including one game left behind, and are now seven points behind Tottenham Hotspur in fifth place in the league. And at this time, they had the north London derby and they had to play that game. Liverpool, on the other hand, have a league game postponed and they play the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend. This game is against their derby rivals Everton, but in terms of difficulty and significance, it is much lighter than Arsenal. ”
Arsenal are now seven points behind Tottenham with a game in hand, and this derby is crucial for them. It is precisely because of this that Liverpool also feels that they still have a lot of hope.
At this time, another Champions League game has also been completed. Barcelona drew 0-0 at home to AC Milan, leaving the suspense of the game for the next game.
But after this game, they were clearly much more discussed than Liverpool: The Legend of the Hidden Dragon. And the reason is very simple: the game between Liverpool and Arsenal, although played at a low level, was a fair game with not much to blame. The match between Barcelona and Milan was a very serious miscalculation.
In the game, Milan played a high ball pass and Shepchenko was in an excellent position. But at this time, Puyol, who was standing next to Shepchenko and competing with him, did not follow Shepchenko because he looked up at the ball, and fell to the ground without standing firm - this had nothing to do with Shepchenko's header, in fact, Shepchenko had already smashed the ball into the gate at this time, and Valdés had no choice but to pick up the ball.
But at this time, the referee blew the whistle. And as the referee blew the spoon and ran past to signal that the goal was invalid, Puyol, who had already propped up his upper body and wanted to sit up, immediately changed direction and lay down again, while rolling in place with his thighs in his arms, and roared repeatedly.
This made Shepchenko's away goal hacked like this. Milan, who should have been able to get a 1-0 away game, could only swallow a 0-0 draw and had no choice but to return to Italy to decide the winner.
Carlo Ancelotti is a good-natured man and he didn't say much nonsense after the game. But this game has greatly damaged Puyol's image. He has always been regarded as a symbol of iron and toughness, but such a fake wrestling and rolling thing has made his image much worse.
Indeed, when he first started, he really didn't think about faking a fall. Not only did he not think about it, Barcelona didn't think about it, Valdés was also thinking about picking up the ball at that time. However, after the misjudgment, he immediately rolled and pretended to be in pain, which is undoubtedly very embarrassing.
"I was thinking about getting a win for the team. As long as you can win, you don't have to care about the image of other individuals. And this is the referee's misjudgment first, not my own initiative. ”
When Puyol was interviewed after the game, what he said was also difficult to relieve. If it is a person who has always had a bad image, such as Cassano, Inzaghi and others playing such small tricks, they will not be accused of anything. Actually, &;Dona also said &;similar things in '86. But Puyol, who has always been known for his iron-blooded toughness, is looking down on people for doing this. What's more, he's still a defender. Whenever a defender fakes a fall, someone will laugh at it.
But after the incident, UEFA did not make any further punishment. After all, it was the referee who made the mistake first, not Puyol, and even if UEFA wanted to punish, it had to consider the face of its own people first. But this practice still caused a lot of controversy.
"If in an important match such as the Champions League semi-finals, the penalty that can affect the final outcome is not scored, then the fake fall behavior is not curbed, will it cause a bad impact, so that in the game, the behavior of making profit by fake fall is more and more?"
There was a lot of controversy in the newspapers, but most of it was empty talk. As for who will qualify between Milan and Barcelona, no one dares to make a conclusion at this time. Barcelona are very strong, they have players like Ronaldo and they have a very good squad. But the overall strength of Milan is not inferior after all, and who dares to despise Lan's Champions League results in recent years?
At this time, Liverpool also got an unexpected news: their semi-final venue was rescheduled to Old Trafford.
Originally, this game should have been played in London – but this weekend, London has the North London Derby, and it is the most significant North London Derby in recent years. Coupled with the fact that this weekend, I don't know who had a convulsion to organise a &;loose game, and for traffic safety reasons, they couldn't play this game in London.
"Who the hell is stupid enough to think it's safe for us to play at Old Trafford?"
Reina's complaint was only exchanged for Garcia's roll of his eyes, "You? Who cares about your safety, it's the fans who are in charge. When the fans are safe, everything will be fine. ”
"Well, Old Trafford, how can Liverpool fans be safe?"
'As long as we win and get to the final, our fans will be safe.' Zhao Yaning opened his mouth and said, "If you show off your might, you have to be a winner." As long as we don't give Manchester United a chance to see the excitement, they can't say anything nasty! "Cat flutter Chinese
