Chapter 324
And it's not just as simple as stopping a Liverpool attack, but you can also take the opportunity to catch Liverpool off guard and maybe score a goal?
Facing the Leicester City players who came up to press him, Lin Yi did not pass the football out immediately. Instead, he paused, then changed direction slightly and went to the center.It seemed like an evasive action, but it made him fall into the encirclement of Leicester City. With his change of direction, what was waiting for him was not a Leicester City player, but three Leicester City players. Players.

Seeing Lin Yi changing direction with the ball, the Leicester City players who were still retreating did not retreat. Instead, they rushed forward, intending to work together to surround Lin Yi here.

"Lin Yi is still dribbling the ball..." the on-site commentator said worriedly. In his opinion, Lin Yi should pass the ball quickly and counterattack. He only plays fast. If the rhythm is slowed down, what else can be done with such a counterattack? threaten?
Just when everyone thought Lin Yi was going to be surrounded by Leicester City players, Lin Yi's left foot suddenly glanced outside, and the toe of his left foot unknowingly poked the football out.At the same time, he swung his right leg as if to kick the ball.Compared with the hidden left toe to poke the ball, he raised his right leg with a wider range of motion, which naturally attracted more people's attention. No one expected that while he was swinging his foot, his left foot had already Stab the football out.

And it wasn't a casual poke. He passed the football to his left, where there was an obvious gap because he turned to the right.This gap was left to Salah who came in from behind.

At this time, Lin Yi's right foot also completed the leg swinging action. He gave a false kick and hit nothing but air.

After the kick, he opened his hands to the defensive player in front of him and made an innocent expression.

At this time, Salah had already rushed forward!
"Lin Yi... Salah! Lin Yi's kick was so imaginative! A fake move like a master!" The on-site commentator played Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense.

In front of Salah, he faced half a pitch.Lin Yi passed the football to him near the center circle. It was not an open space in front of him, but there were Leicester City players.

At this time, those Leicester City players also turned around and intercepted Salah, especially in front of Salah there was Leicester City right back Simpson, who was still in a position where he could block Salah's path. location.

But in Salah's view, this is nothing.

Lin Yi's pass was not only concealed and accurate, but also fully considered Salah's technical characteristics. He did not pass the football directly to Salah's feet, but passed it in front of him, allowing Salah to take advantage of it. The opportunity to penetrate forward fully increases the speed.

Salah did not disappoint him, running faster and faster, his legs like hot wheels.

Then as he was about to receive the ball, he glanced ahead at Simpson's position.

There are still about five or six meters away from him. If you catch the ball, whether you adjust or continue to dribble, your speed will be affected, which will give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Looking behind him, there is an open space, a 30-meter area of ​​​​Leicester City.

Salah knew what to do.

He raised his left foot and made an action to pass the ball directly, but when his foot came down, he kicked the football hard in front of himself and behind Simpson!
The football flew past Simpson.

Also starting with football is Salah!
He immediately accelerated like crazy, instantly closing the distance between himself and Simpson.

At this time, Simpson's body had just turned halfway...

"Salah! Oh! Oh my god! He was like a high-speed train, rushing past Simpson unreasonably. Poor Simpson... He stretched out his hand to pull Salah, but nothing happened. Instead, he lost his balance and fell to the ground... Oh, my God! Leicester City's defense was completely overwhelmed by Salah's rush!"

At this moment, Anfield Stadium erupted in cheers like a roaring tsunami.

Lin Yi didn't even run forward when he saw Salah's speed - he knew he couldn't catch up if he ran up, and couldn't catch Salah's pass.

And at this time, he believed that Salah would have the confidence to shoot on his own.

Lin Yi honestly cheered for Salah from behind.

After Salah penetrated Leicester City's defense like a thunderbolt, he caught up with the football. At this time, he was basically facing the goal directly.Although Firmino responded in the middle, there were two Leicester City players beside him. Even if Salah passed the ball, it would be difficult for him to make a difference.

He actually knows his role. At this time, all he can do is to attract some Leicester City players for Salah and create better conditions for Salah to play alone.

"Salah! Liverpool's chance!" The on-site commentator's heart was in his throat. Pass or shoot?Hero or sinner?
While the on-site commentator was thinking wildly, Salah had already entered Leicester City's penalty area.

He didn't think so much. He only had Leicester City football in his eyes now.

With so much momentum, how could it not have a wonderful ending?
Otherwise, he would be sorry for Lin Yi's pass!
Salah finally slowed down as he entered the penalty area. He made a sudden stop and changed direction, turning towards the center, leaving Leicester City defender Robert Huth aside who was blocking him in front, and then he He raised his right foot.

As a right-footed player, he plays on the left, just to cut in and then shoot!
Just like Robben playing with his left foot on the right wing, everyone around the world knows that when he plays on the right wing, he has to cut in, and after he cuts in, he has to shoot, but you just can't prevent it!

Salah's right foot hit the football and shot it into the back corner!

Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel, who had just pounced here, had to turn around and pounce back. Two consecutive changes of direction were too much for him. This flying movement was not powerful enough, the height was too low, and the distance was not enough, so he did not touch the football. .

After the football drew an arc, it got into the goal from the back corner!

Perfect full stop!
"Salah burst in! Salah changed direction! Salah shot! The ball went in -!!!" The on-site commentator explained this wonderful goal in extremely simple words.

In the stands of Anfield Stadium, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans jumped to their feet and cheered.

The entire stadium was like a pot of boiling water.

After Salah, who scored the goal, confirmed that the football had entered the goal, he turned around and ran towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was waiting for him with open arms, but he didn't expect Salah's momentum to be so strong, otherwise he would have run away - he was thrown directly to the ground by Salah...

"Liverpool took the lead again! After being chased by two goals to equalize the score, Liverpool reached the most dangerous moment. Fortunately, Lin Yi and Salah stepped forward!" The TV commentator was full of praise for the pair. "With clever cooperation, a wonderful forced breakthrough and the last shot, two people scored Leicester City's goal!"

Klopp also jumped up in the audience, waving his fists and shouting like those around him.

The TV broadcast replayed this goal again and again. Starting from Lin Yi's pass, everyone was full of praise for Lin Yi's imaginative pass.

This action is not Lin Yi's original creation, Henry has done such a passing action before.

However, Henry's passing action did not ultimately turn into a pass, and his teammates failed to live up to expectations.

But this time, after Lin Yi cleverly passed the football, Salah seized the opportunity very confidently.In the end, this creative pass turned into a goal.

Only goals are the best reward for passing players' passes.The previous goal was replayed over and over again on TV, and the commentators were stunned by it.

This goal, whether it was a pass, a breakthrough with the ball, or the final shot, was very beautiful.

Liverpool regained the lead, somewhat to Leicester's surprise.

Because they did not expect that when Liverpool was most difficult, it would be when they scored.

After Klopp left the field, Liverpool made effective adjustments on their own.

This really surprised Leicester City.

Now there is a multiple-choice question before Leicester City coach Ranieri - should he continue the previous tactics and continue to attack?Or choose to defend?

Ranieri hesitated.

Continuing to attack may equalize the score, but there is also a greater possibility of conceding the ball.

If he chooses to defend, he may not be able to score goals. If he loses the game 2:3, all his efforts will be in vain. He is really unwilling...

Just when Ranieri was hesitant, the game started again.

Liverpool, who were in the lead, launched a fierce attack on Leicester City's goal. Even if Leicester City retreated to defend, there was still a lot of noise in front of the goal.

This made Ranieri realize off the court that facing the aggressive Liverpool, even if he chose to defend, he might not get any good results.

And since we are already behind 2:3, the defense will lose the game, and the offense may lose the ball again, so what's the difference? Why are we so hesitant?
Either way, he would die, so he might as well give it a try. If he could sneak a ball while Liverpool was bombarding him, wouldn't that be a profit?

Thinking of this, Ranieri made a decision. He issued instructions to the Leicester City players on the court, asking them to continue attacking and seek to equalize the score.

Seeing Liverpool desperately trying to attack, Ranieri felt that this was still his chance.

After taking the lead, he didn't know how to restrain himself, but he still scored a goal?
Then let you taste the feeling of being tied at home - now Ranieri has lowered his standard from winning to a draw...

However, Leicester City's resistance did not last long.

They originally thought that during Liverpool's indiscriminate bombardment, they had an opportunity to score a goal.

As a result, in the 6th minute after Liverpool scored, Liverpool scored again, and they used the space left after Leicester City's attack to launch a counterattack.

This time it was Firmino who scored for the team.

His speed played a big role in this counterattack.

"Firmino——! The suspense of the game is completely over! Liverpool leads Leicester City 4:2!"

This goal also caused the Leicester City players to lose their fighting spirit. When the game restarted, they were obviously not as active as before. Whether they were running or fighting, they seemed to have lost all their strength.

Ranieri no longer dances and directs the game from the sidelines.

He also realized that the game was over.

He tried his best, but Liverpool's absolute strength was still too strong. Once they returned to their normal level, it would be impossible for Leicester City to defeat...

In the end, Liverpool defeated Leicester City 4:2 at home.

For the victory in this game, Liverpool also paid a heavy price - after the game, Liverpool officially announced that Reva tore the cruciate ligament in his knee during the game and had completely bid farewell to this season.

Reva later announced the news on his social network: "Unfortunately, my previous fears have come true. It is indeed a torn cruciate ligament. I will undergo surgery on Thursday and work hard for my comeback from now on."

For Liverpool fans, this is almost like a bolt from the blue.

Of course, this news will not make them despair. After all, although Reva is important, it is still not as good as Lin Yi, Salah, Firmino, and Royce. If these four people are injured, then It was a fatal blow to Liverpool.

However, Reiva's injury and retirement still have a big impact on Liverpool. It may be difficult for anyone to challenge Liverpool in the league, but once they enter the Champions League and face strong opponents, the team still lacks a key link. .

It is also difficult for anyone to replace Reva on the bench, otherwise he would not have been allowed to occupy the starting position for most of the season.

Fortunately, Liverpool's opponent in the next round is Paris Saint-Germain. Compared with other top eight teams, it is already a good choice. As for the subsequent Champions League games, we have to consider it after passing Saint-Germain.

Because of Reiva's injury, Klopp chose to rest some players in the next two rounds of the league, hoping that the players would have good physical fitness to deal with injuries.

Two league rounds were played against Crystal Palace and Tottenham, with one win and one draw. Tottenham successfully drew 1:1 with Liverpool.

However, Arsenal behind them failed to seize the opportunity. Instead, Leicester City seized the opportunity to overtake and rank second in the Premier League.

But Leicester City is still [-] points behind Liverpool. With little left in the league, Liverpool can even be said to have locked in the championship in advance.

God once personally delivered the opportunity to Leicester City, but unfortunately they failed to seize it. With Liverpool's bad luck, they failed to narrow the gap between the two teams and instead gave their opponent three points.

Under such circumstances, it is already difficult for them to win the Premier League championship, and Liverpool's success in defending the title is a foregone conclusion.
