Chapter 302
"Goal, Goal, Goal!"
"Goal!"
"Modric assists!"
"Su Fei fell to the ground in front of the goal and pushed the ball into the empty goal, hitting it steadily!"
"Score twice in the FA Cup final!"
"2:0!"
"In the 29th minute of the game, Manchester City beat Liverpool 2:0, further expanding their lead!"
At the Millennium Stadium, Manchester City fans cheered, and the man rushed to the corner kick area and slid to celebrate!
Su Fei knelt on the grass excitedly, clenching his fists.
At this moment.
The Millennium Stadium has become the home ground of Manchester City fans, and the FA Cup final has become Su Fei's stage to show himself to everyone again.
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is helpless!
He is just a small goalkeeper, and his own defense line has been broken by Manchester City.
The situation just now.
He can only watch Modric's shot.
Unexpectedly, Modric sent another precise and decisive short pass, giving Su Fei a chance to shoot into the empty goal.
This is the English Premier League magic Su!
It is the magic Su who can hit a long free kick from 35 meters away even with a human wall in front of the penalty area.
Shoot into the empty goal?
It is no different from directly giving points to Manchester City.
Benítez patted his forehead. If he had known that the FA Cup final would be against Manchester City, he would not have scored.
Today.
The current performance of his team against Manchester City.
It illustrates a fact.
This year's Liverpool just can't beat Manchester City and can't defend Su Fei!
.............................................
For Liverpool, the good news is in the rest of the first half.
Liverpool stopped the bleeding in time, strengthened the defense in the backcourt, and effectively defended Manchester City's offensive by cutting off the passing cooperation between Su Fei and his teammates.
But the 15-minute halftime break.
It also posed a big problem for Liverpool, how to equalize the two goals in the 45 minutes of the second half.
"Attack!!"
"As far as the current situation is concerned, offense is the best defense!"
"Boldly move forward, push forward, we need more offensive players in the frontcourt to create more firepower output!"
In the home team's locker room, Master Bei was willing to go all out and excitedly encouraged the players.
Last year's Champions League final.
It was in the second half that Liverpool completed the amazing 3-goal chase by strengthening the offensive adjustment.
............................................
As the players of both sides returned to the court, Huang Jianxiang continued to explain.
"The halftime break is over."
"Liverpool made substitutions!"
"In terms of formation, it has also changed from 4-2-1-3 to 3-5-1-1, with three defenders, six midfielders, Gerrard going forward, and Peter Crouch as the lone striker!"
"This change is very bold!"
"It has a bit of a sense of breaking down and building up!"
"Looking forward to Liverpool's performance in the next game!"
Stewart frowned slightly when he saw Liverpool make a major change on the sidelines.
This formation.
Anyone who has watched the Champions League final last year knows that it was Liverpool's magical reversal formation in the second half.
Hiss.
Is this trying to reproduce the "Istanbul Miracle"?
Stewart's worries are not unreasonable.
Soon.
After the substitutions and changes, Liverpool showed amazing offensive capabilities in the midfield and frontcourt.
Steven Gerrard, who no longer participated in any defense and fully participated in the team's offense, showed the style of a leader of England's golden generation.
......
57th minute of the game.
Several Liverpool players in the middle made continuous short passes and sent the ball to Steve Finnan on the right side.
Add midfielders.
The most direct effect.
It increased Liverpool's midfield control.
It just happened to effectively restrain Manchester City's three-midfield formation.
Steve Finnan.
After a long pass from the right to the Manchester City penalty area, Steven Gerrard unloaded the ball with his left foot and decisively twisted his body and raised his foot to shoot.
Steve Gerrard is a typical five-five player.
A long shot with full penetration from his left foot.
It is one of his signature goal-breaking moves.
This shot came too suddenly.
So that the players on Manchester City's back line had no time to stop it.
The football crossed the goal line.
The Red Army fans who were suffocated finally got the opportunity to cheer in this neutral stadium and took a deep breath!
"The ball is in!!"
"The ball is in!!"
"The world of Gerrard's left-footed long shot"Ball scored!"
"57th minute of the game!"
"Liverpool finally scored their first goal in this FA Cup!"
"2:1!"
"Benitez's midfield adjustment was effective. Just over 10 minutes into the second half, they scored a goal!"
Steven Gerrard waved his arms and loudly encouraged his Liverpool teammates while celebrating.
Liverpool captain!
Standing up again, helping Liverpool get a glimmer of hope!
This ball.
Even Su Fei, who was not far away, had to shake his head and sigh.
"It's worthy of being Captain Jie who always burns himself and never gives up."
Benitez celebrated with the players.
Stuart immediately began to adjust the command on the sidelines. He could wave when he needed to wave, and he should be stable when he needed to be stable.
Continuing to play against Liverpool in attack and defense.
Stuart chose the next team to implement a defensive counterattack tactic that combined the two.
"The game starts again."
"Hmm? ”
“After Liverpool scored, Manchester City adjusted very quickly.”
“Modric moved back to the defensive midfielder position.”
“And Vassell and Cassano moved back to the left and right midfielders respectively, and Knight changed from right midfielder to central midfielder!”
“4-5-1!”
“Manchester City adjusted from 4-1-2-3 to 4-5-1! ”
.........................................
This is not just a game between the two players on the field, but also a game between the two head coaches.
Liverpool played 3-6-1, and Stewart played 4-5-1, with the midfield area looking particularly bloated.
Both sides put the focus of the competition on the midfield.
The long pass that is the signature of English football is gone.
Instead,
It is the quick short pass of the two teams' players and the double-team interception that the midfielder on the defensive end continues to perform.
Under the pressure of the FA Cup final.
Both teams temporarily hid their rough Premier League style and fought for possession of the ball.
Time passed by.
The next goal was not born.
But for Manchester City, it is Good news, because they are the leading side and have the initiative.
......
The game came to the 89th minute.
Steven Gerrard's left-footed long shot hit Dunn and flew out of the baseline.
Liverpool got a chance for a right corner kick.
Benítez looked up at the timer on the big screen and immediately began his deployment.
This is not just a corner kick opportunity.
It is very likely to be Liverpool's last chance of the game.
Su Fei chose to retreat to the penalty area to participate in the defense.
After hesitating.
Take Steven Gerrard as the target of defense.
If there is one person in the whole Liverpool who can create miracles, it can only be the eternal Gerrard!
