Chapter 252
The ability to find space is not only reflected in his ability to respond to teammates' passes in the midfield, but can also be used to grab points in front of the goal.

A good striker must have excellent off-the-ball movement.

In fact, Liverpool's offense in the second half of overtime could no longer go through a series of passes as before, and find a breakthrough in the pass.

Liverpool don't have that much time.

15 minutes doesn't seem short, but it's not long either.

When a last-ditch effort is needed, people often adopt a simpler and more direct approach. This approach may not be efficient, but if there are enough times and the quantity is large, quantitative changes may lead to qualitative changes.

The simpler and more direct approach taken by Liverpool is to cross from the wing.

Skrtel even came up ahead, using his height and header advantage to threaten Juventus's goal. The two wingers kept taking the ball and sent it to the goal.

Although it looks simple and rude, and has no technical content, it also makes Juventus fans frightened.

There is no way to make a cross from the side. A kick out has a feeling of "resignation" to both the defense and the offense.Many people disdain the play of crossing from the wing at the last moment, thinking that it is a waste of opportunities.

But if you think about it carefully, why do teams all over the world, when they need to fight to the death, all choose the way of crossing from the wing?Is it because the head coaches of teams all over the world have mental problems, don't they know that this is a waste of opportunity?

Since everyone uses it this way, there must be a reason for it.

Although a lot of opportunities will be wasted in crossing from the side, it will also create a lot of opportunities. Even if the attacker catches one of these opportunities, it may be fatal...

This is exactly what Liverpool want to achieve now.

Juventus basically focused on Liverpool's tall players when defending.

It's just that Skrtel and Sterling are not very effective in jumping up and fighting for the top under the close marking of each other.

Lin Yi discovered this through his own observation.He tried to run into the penalty area to grab points, but found that the marking on him was not strong.

He wasn't surprised by that.

In European football, there is a widely circulated view about Lin Yi. This view believes that Lin Yi is not the kind of player who is closer to the goal and more threatening.

Outside the box, his threat to goal has little to do with his distance from goal.

But once in the restricted area, because of the intense and frequent physical confrontation, Lin Yi's threat is not as good as outside the restricted area!

Lin Yi doesn't know when this rumor came out. When he was in Huo Village, many of the balls were scored by running and making supplementary shots in the penalty area. Instead, after he came to Liverpool and stayed away from the penalty area, Lin Yi The number of goals scored has dropped a lot. If it weren't for the more games in the Premier League, this year's European Golden Boot might not have come to Lin Yi!
When Royce pulled to the right to cross, Lin Yi ran from outside the penalty area to the penalty area, but he didn't run directly to the goal to grab a point - that's not where he went at all, he ran straight to the goal. point later.

After Royce used his technique to shake the angle, he directly passed the ball. Before the cross, he didn't even look at the situation in the penalty area-he didn't have that time, so he could only pass the football based on his feeling and experience. .

As for who will be able to top him in the end, that is beyond his control.

After passing the ball, he looked up to the penalty area.

Skrtel and Sterling jumped up one after the other, trying to compete for the top.

Jumping with them were the Juventus defenders.

But none of them hit the ball.

The ball passed by Royce drew an obvious outer arc, bypassed their heads, and then went straight to the back of the penalty area.

Everyone's eyes and attention turned with the football, and only then did they see Lin Yi appearing at the back!
He adjusted his posture sideways, then supported Zhu's body with his left foot, and swung his right foot!
This is the posture to volley!
At this time, no one dared to ignore Lin Yi's shot, because in regular time, it was Lin Yi's shot that equalized the score for Liverpool.

He has no physical confrontation ability in the penalty area, but it does not mean that he has no crosshairs...

Immediately, two Juventus players rushed towards Lin Yi in the penalty area. In addition, Buffon also turned around and rushed back, intending to block Lin Yi's shot.

Lin Yi sees everything in front of him clearly, not only the situation in front of him, but also the situation around him is basically in his mind.

He knows exactly where the players on both sides are.

So he knows what he should do next.

When the football flew to his feet, Lin Yi swung his right foot but did not shoot the football towards the goal. The wonderful volley that everyone expected to see did not happen.

Lin Yi just flicked his ankle, and bounced the football in the air to the middle of the penalty area with his right foot!

It's not a shot, it's... a pass!
"Eh?!" Seeing that it wasn't a shot, He Wei was surprised.

Then an idea popped into his mind—is this a mistake? !

Do not!wrong!

Immediately after He Wei's thinking ability recovered, he felt that this kick could not be Lin Yi's slap, but a premeditated pass!
"Firmino—!!"

It was only then that everyone discovered that near the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area, Firmino stepped up with a lunge, then supported his body with his right foot, and swung his left foot!

His movements were similar to Lin Yi's just now, but in the opposite direction, as if the two of them were looking at each other in a mirror.

Because Juventus' defensive strength was first taken away by Sterling and Skrtel, and the rest was attracted by Lin Yi, so Firmino is now in an unmarked situation. You can bend your bow and set an arrow calmly, store your strength, and then twist your body, the waist and hips drive the left leg, and the left leg drives the left foot, just like a whip, all the power is finally transmitted to the left foot through various parts Right on the instep, that is, at the end of the whip.

This whip hit the football flying in the air firmly!
With a bang, grass clippings splashed everywhere, and the football rushed towards the goal like a meteor, rubbing against the surrounding air, piercing through the wall in front of the penalty area with lightning speed, and flew into the goal from Buffon's side!

But Buffon, who was swayed by Lin Yi, couldn't turn over and jump at all. His body was still moving backwards according to inertia, and his arms swung back in vain. He didn't touch the football at all...

"Firmino——!!!!"

In the second half of extra time, the two sides exchanged venues. Just behind the Juventus goal was the stand where Liverpool fans gathered. When the football hit the net, all Liverpool fans jumped from their seats and cheered. .

Their cheers were so loud that the commentators at the scene could hardly hear their own voices. They could only raise the volume desperately, until their voices were hoarse and their foreheads were bulging with veins.

"Firmino... volley! Strike-!!! Strike! Liverpool equalized the score! Oh oh oh! World wave! World wave! It's so exciting!" He Wei's voice was hoarse.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Firmino! Firmino! Firmino! Firmino! Firmino—GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" The Italian commentator showed his Explanation of lung capacity formula.

"Ahhh! Unbelievable! Liverpool equalized in 1 minutes of the game! They were behind in extra time and still able to equalize the score! Really tenacious! Juventus led twice in this game, But equalized twice!" the British commentator gushed. "Klopp's Liverpool is a team full of combat power!"

After scoring the goal, Firmino lost his balance and fell to the ground because he exhausted all his strength.

But his eyes were always on the football. He saw the football fly into the goal. For a moment, his brain suddenly went blank-I actually scored the equalizer in the Champions League final?Is this really what I did?

He has a sense of unreality...

Things that I didn't dare to do in my dreams before have actually happened now.

It was Lin Yi's excited roar that pulled him out of this sense of unreality.

He was thrown to the ground by Lin Yi, and the pain let him know that he was not dreaming.

More Liverpool players pounced on them, pinning them both down.

They just celebrated with impunity at the door of Juventus.

And next to them, there are Juventus players who are dumbfounded...

No one thought that Lin Yi's kick turned out to be a pass, not a shot!
You must know that after his posture at that time was put on, it was completely on the verge of hitting the string!
The arrow is on the string, and the next sentence is "I have to say it", but Lin Yi really didn't say it.

what is this?
This can be held back, Lin Yi is not afraid of flashing his waist?

Not only did he hold back, but he also passed the football to Firmino very accurately.That ankle is shaking... If you use a little more force, the ball will pass too big, and if you use a little less force, the ball will not pass. It really doesn't matter if there is more or less. This is a wonderful way to control the football. cents.

All of this is just done in a blink of an eye.

I don't know if he thought about it before swiping his foot to shoot, and regarded the shot as a fake action, or did he change his mind temporarily?

But no matter what the reason is, it is enough to make people feel that Lin Yi is simply unfathomable...

Faced with such an exquisite pass, even if the ball is lost, Juventus really don't know what to say.

Klopp rushed out of the coach's bench, rushed into the field, came to a kneel to celebrate, then he got up and ran back to the coach's bench, jumped high, and embraced warmly with the assistant coach.

The cheers on the bench were even more thunderous. Everyone threw the things in their hands into the sky and hugged together again.

After the Juventus goal, there seemed to be a thick cloud over Liverpool's bench and coach's bench.

And now, Firmino's goal is like a holy light falling from the sky, dispelling the dark clouds above their heads.

The golden light shone on them, refreshing.

Firmino's goal was replayed over and over again on TV, and that volley was really beautiful and refreshing.

"Firmino, this young man who came here with Lin Yi this year, was a partner with Lin Yi when he was in Huo Village. The two played football together for two and a half years. The tacit understanding is not ordinary..."

He Wei is eloquently introducing Firmino to the Chinese audience, although everyone may be familiar with him.

"In this final, he scored the most critical first goal at the most critical time. I dare say that this is definitely the most beautiful and important goal of his career!"

"Firmino's goal has brought hope to Liverpool again! After the equalizer, Liverpool's morale will be boosted, while Juventus will be hit. Under the ebb and flow, even if the game is dragged to the point In the decisive battle, the spirits of the Liverpool players will definitely be higher than those of the Juventus players!"

The telecast ended with a replay of Firmino's goal, showing Liverpool players celebrating.

During the celebration, Lin Yi and Firmino shook their heads, and Lin Yi held his head and was talking to him.

"Great job, brother, what a beautiful goal!" Lin Yi praised Firmino loudly in his ears. No way, this is definitely not a "nanny assist", and it is still quite difficult to score goals.

You know, before Firmino shot, what he faced was not a huge empty goal, but a wall with enough people.

But the quality of Firmino's kick is quite high.

Firmino contributed a lot to Liverpool's ability to equalize the score.

Facing Lin Yi's praise, Firmino was very embarrassed: "I just thought of what you said, brother, it was you who told me to move smarter in the second half... I happened to see that there was a man near the penalty spot. I ran over when I was free, but I didn't expect you to actually pass the football to me..."

"What are you thinking? Of course I will pass the ball to you, you are a real striker!"

However, Firmino knew in his heart that 80.00% of the credit for his scoring the goal should be attributed to Lin Yi. His pass was really great, and it was beyond the opponent's expectation. He is a fool who is so lucky...

The TV broadcast began to replay the scene of Lin Yi passing the ball to Firmino just now. It is not uncommon for everyone to see the assist of a fake shot and a real pass. It's just too rare.

This requires not only imagination, but also precise control over the body.

Of course, a little luck is required.

Lin Yi just used the movement of his ankle to flick the football to Firmino.It's not deliberate, it's very natural, just like flowing water, if it's not replayed over and over again in slow motion, maybe not too many people can really notice Lin Yi's ankle skills...

This action was broadcast repeatedly by the TV station, and people were fascinated by it.

"Lin Yi is probably one of the most creative players in today's football..." He Wei upholds the fine tradition of Chinese people's modesty, and added "one of them" to Lin Yi, so as not to be mad at his statement Spray more than ever.But in fact, he feels that Lin Yi is the most creative player in today's football, not one of them.

Those passes, those shots, some may only exist in imagination, but Lin Yi can turn them into reality.
