The Ball at Your Feet
: 607 The defeat of the Champions League
Watching Campbell's goal, the Liverpool players were all stunned.
This of course also includes Zhao Yaning, who has already been replaced. He couldn't imagine that at this time, the team would have lost a ball!
"Why do you want to replace me!" Zhao Yaning shouted dissatisfiedly at Benitez. He knew he shouldn't do this, but at this time, he still couldn't help it.
Benitez did not speak. He understood what Zhao Yaning meant: Gerrard, not Zhao Yaning, was the one who was anxious. At this time, it was Gerald who should be replaced, not Zhao Yaning. He didn't think it was strange that Zhao Yaning would think so.
But the problem is that on the court just now, if he replaced Gerrard and Zhao Yaning controlled the situation, he would definitely continue to attack. With a 2-1 lead and ten minutes left, there is no need to play offense. Moreover, there is no Gerrard in the frontcourt to counter-rob, and then rush to attack, it is very likely to be hit back, Alonso's yellow card is already a lesson. And when Zhao Yaning is replaced, no matter how anxious Gerrard is, it is impossible to attack-limited by his ability, he cannot organize a decent attack, so he can only defend honestly and survive the last ten. Minutes, Liverpool won.
But who could have imagined that Liverpool insisted on not conceding the ball for 80 minutes, and at this time, it would actually have conceded the ball.
It's already the end of the game, and this ball has rewritten the score to 2-2, and more importantly, this ball is an away goal!
"That ball is the first to overwhelm the people, he is overwhelming!"
Carragher yelled at the referee almost frantically, but in exchange for a yellow card that the referee took out. The referee's decision was that the goal was valid. The goal was counted. No matter how Carragher roared, it was useless. What's more, in modern football, it is difficult to judge by headers and carry, and it is impossible for the referee to change the judgment.
"Liverpool was reversed in the 80th minute. A team known for their reversal, what would it feel like when someone else reversed it? Now they have replaced Zhao Yaning. At this time, let us see that Liverpool will be going How to launch a counterattack to turn the situation around..."
At this time, even if they didn't need to say, Liverpool launched a counterattack. However, at this time, time is running out, and Liverpool's counterattack will not help.
Gerrard took another long shot, and Milito attacked afterwards. However, neither of them was able to break through the gate, and Arsenal kept the gate until the end of the game.
The whistle sounded and the game was over.
Liverpool won 2-1, but lost the round. Arsenal reached the final with a record, while Liverpool stopped in the semi-finals.
On the Anfield stadium, there was a very strange scene-the winning side was downcast, while the losing side was extremely excited and excited.
Although Arsenal lost the ball, he relied on this away goal to reach the Champions League final. Although Liverpool won the game, after this game, their triple crowns were also empty talks.
"This game was really bad."
In the dressing room, Garcia's words made everyone echo. Zhao Yaning didn't say a word, just thinking about his own thoughts. When he was on the court just now, he yelled at the coach. It is estimated that he was all seen by the media, but at this time, he didn't want to think about it.
The game was lost, and still lost to Arsenal, which is much weaker than himself.
"I am responsible for this game..." Benitez said after walking into the locker room, "I am a little too conservative, I should be more positive..."
"Can't you keep me on the court? Why do you have to replace me! Obviously I played the best on the court at the time, but you replaced me..."
"Joy, you are leading the offense, we don't need offense at that time. What we need is defense..."
"But we didn't hold on, we lost!" Zhao Yaning immediately pushed back, "lost to Arsenal!"
"Joy, can you please listen to me?" Morientes said on the side, "I'll be honest, even if you stay on the court, you may not be able to win the game. Our offense at the time was already messed up. , It’s hard to score a goal. If that’s not the case, we don’t have to substitute."
"But at least I can die happily!" Zhao Yaning immediately pushed back, "Coach, I don't care about other things, money, name, those are all secondary. But this is a game, you can't do that. Treat me! What's the matter with you replacing me at this time?"
Benitez could not speak. His thinking is indeed conservative, and his substitution gambling nature is too great. In the final moments of the semifinals, it is undoubtedly a gamble to replace the core players. This kind of substitution, if the gambling is won, is naturally worthy of praise. It is a rare and wonderful substitution, but the gambling has lost...now the gambling has lost. However, Benitez did not expect that Zhao Yaning would make such a big fire. He was accustomed to seeing Zhao Yaning's amiable side, but he forgot that Zhao Yaning's amiability was also only because he wanted to be amiable. But this approach of Benitez is intolerable to Zhao Yaning.
"Joy, listen to me, okay?" Hypia also said, "This matter, don't blame the coach, blame Stephen, he is too anxious. Not making the finals, everyone is not happy, calm down, okay Huh?"
Zhao Yaning didn't say a word, and he didn't know what to say.
He still couldn't accept such a result. It's a glorious defeat to meet a strong team, but losing to Arsenal is completely unexpected.
Although people can say that the semi-finals are already very good, how many players can make the finals every year? I just won the championship last year, and it is really difficult to think further this year. However, Zhao Yaning just couldn't relax. Can he score a goal in ten minutes? He doesn't know, it may be difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, he is willing to stay on the court and try instead of watching the team lose.
This kind of competition is really too hot. Zhao Yaning looked at Benitez. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to be someone who didn't respect the coach, but he was really worried that he would curse.
Although he also knew that the main reason was indeed not in Benitez, he still couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he stayed on the court.
Arsenal's two rounds, both in strength and luck, are very good. In contrast, Liverpool is a bit too proud of being under pressure and good results. In the previous game against Everton, Gerrard got a red card, and his mentality was already out of balance, but at that time the team was stronger than the opponent, and one player was still 3-0, which also made the Liverpool players fail to realize it. The importance of mentality imbalance. In the away game against Arsenal, losing 0-1, wasted countless opportunities and finally lost. It can also be regarded as a long alarm bell. However, the Liverpool game lacked Zhao Yaning, which made the players still look forward to it. I felt that a turnaround was inevitable and did not make timely adjustments.
But in the end, Liverpool still lost. Rather than losing to the strength of Arsenal, it is more of losing to the joy and pressure of getting closer and closer to victory.
Dynasty is really a rare thing. In addition to strength, what is even more rare is the heart of a king who is not afraid of humiliation.
What Benitez did was just to make this defeat even more irreversible.
"Since I have lost, let alone that much. In all fairness, Arsenal's game is still very good. When it comes to fighting for the pressure, the penalties have been looser and looser in the past two years. No penalties have been awarded. Can’t say anything. Rather than discussing these after the game, it’s more important to find our own problems."
After a long time, Zhao Yaning spoke. He didn't know how long it took, in his opinion, it was almost a lifetime.
"There are always wins and losses in the game. To be honest, it has been extremely difficult for us to play like this this season. The schedule, injuries, and other influences are not easy for us to persevere. We lost a game. It’s not unacceptable to us, right."
"To be honest, our own mentality is in a mess. We are still not confident enough and lack the posture that we can afford and let go. To put it bluntly, we still have too few champions and our mentality is not correct enough."
"It's better to know yourself than to say that. Knowing yourself, we can go to the next level, I think, if we win a few more championships, our current mentality of impatience and pressure can be much lighter. Yeah. And, guys, we have four more matches below. We won all of them before we can win two championships. You guys don’t think, once this match is over, we’re going to collapse. It’s really hard for us to lose one championship, but we can’t lose all of the remaining two championships, right?”
There are four games left, two championships-three league games and one FA Cup.
"Guys, win these four games," Zhao Yaning continued, "We are out of the Champions League. It is really miserable, but if we can learn from it, then it will not be useless. Stable, calm and stable. This is what we need to learn. Whether to let this game ruin our season or win the game so that there are no more regrets this season, it’s all up to us!"——
Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal, which caused an uproar. This year, Liverpool and Arsenal have won three wins and one loss in four games, but only this defeat has lost the chance of the Champions League final, which is really embarrassing.
The Arsenal Youth Army made history, and Liverpool did not win. Naturally, they have been criticized.
After the game, Zhao Yaning yelled at Benitez and became the focus of attention. Zhao Yaning's temper has always been very good. Does his yelling at the coach indicate that there will be any major changes in Liverpool?
"I don't want to talk about those things, we are only thinking about the game now." Zhao Yaning rejected all interviews by the media. There are many transfers circulating in the outside world and there are many disturbances in Liverpool's change of coaches, but at this time, Zhao Yaning has no intention to pay attention to it. Those things can be said at the end of the season.
Now Chelsea have more games, 2 points ahead of Liverpool, and Liverpool still have three games. Any one of the remaining three games is extremely important.
When Liverpool returned to the league, people naturally had the same question: Will Liverpool be affected by the Champions League, resulting in poor morale and failure?
"If Liverpool really can't win the league this season, they will be a complete loser!"
However, in the home game against Aston Villa, Liverpool played well enough. Just four minutes after the opening, Zhao Yaning received a pass from Alonso~www.ltnovel.com~ and blasted the ball into the goal!
"Liverpool is still in good shape. Zhao Yaning scored again! This is his third consecutive league goal! During the time he won the championship, Zhao Yaning's performance was obviously much better than before. Let us see, his Goals, can we secure the championship for Liverpool!"——
ps: Say a few more words. Regarding the issue of losing, there have always been people talking about abuse. I have also thought about this question myself. How can I write about a losing game so that I can write about it without abuse? Of course, the premise here is that football will definitely lose.
Some authors choose to let the protagonist fight from time to time, play some character, banned for seven or eight games, and then the champion is gone. Or it is the problem of a referee's whistle, and the champion is gone. But I always hope that it is a better way to write about the excitement of the game and make people feel that losing is not unacceptable. Football novels, after all, are still about writing football.
Of course, the pen is not strong enough, and sometimes it is really bad. The subscription dropped suddenly, and I knew it was my problem. I myself have been confused and confused, but I have always hoped that the heart that I can write does not change. I am also trying to write well now. This time I wrote that when I lost, it was an attempt. Here, once again thank you all for your continued support, and hope that you will continue to pay attention and continue to give me advice, thank you.
