Chapter 77 Two Goals in a Row!
Derby County's counterattack was quite quick, from Leto Ziegler's steal to Frank Ribery's dribbling, and then to Bolton Reiter's shot. During this period, Liverpool's frontcourt players kept running and didn't have time to defend, and only used It only took about 10 seconds. In such a short period of time, many Liverpool fans have not even reacted. They are either talking to the people next to them, or doing their own things. When they react, they turn around and find that The football is already in its own goal.
They were stunned.
what's going on? How does football appear in Liverpool's goal? What's the matter with him?
With Burton Reiter's goal, the audience was silent, and then the Derby County fans cheered wildly. Only then did the stunned fans realize that Derby County scored, and they muttered. Not sure how to react.
This even includes several media reporters.
They didn't notice how the ball was scored, and when they turned their heads, they saw that the score was rewritten, so at this time, they didn't do anything else, just stared at the big screen of the stadium to see how the ball was scored!
This is the time to turn around, how did Derby County score! ! ?
In fact, many Derby County fans didn't react. They were still worried about Liverpool's goal just now, but the score became 1:1 in a blink of an eye, and Derby County tied the score, which is incredible.
The British BBC broadcast commentator also shouted in surprise, "Derby County's counterattack is too fast! It's too late for people to react!"
This statement is widely recognized.
It's really too late to react, and not to see most of the Liverpool players on the field, they can't even defend, they can only watch the football fly into their own goal!
......
With this goal, the voices of Derby County fans became mainstream at Anfield for the first time.
In this historic stadium, Derby County fans are pitiful relative to Liverpool fans. There were only more than 2,000 Derby County fans at the scene, and Liverpool fans were 20 times as many.
Although Derby County fans have been trying to make a sound to cheer for the team, they simply can't overwhelm the Liverpool fans.
It's different now.
Derby County scored a goal, and they had reason to cheer, while Liverpool fans were depressed, and they were not in the mood to argue with Derby County fans. They just looked at the stadium and worried about the team.
They still remember the last time Derby County came here and won with a 2-1 score. Then Liverpool went to the home of Derby County and also lost the game. That is to say, they lost both games against Derby County this season. Because of this, the media will make a sound of 'revenge' before the game. With the first goal, Liverpool fans thought it would be a revenge, but now the opponent has tied the score... Will this really be revenge?
Even if they actually support the team. But thinking about the two failures, they still lost a lot of confidence.
Meanwhile, Derby County has started to celebrate the goal. Bolton Reiter ran to Ribery and hugged him immediately after scoring the goal, thanking him for his selfless assists, others also gathered around, stepped forward and hugged Bolton Reiter, and several players also Reaching out to touch the top of Leiter's head, this is to contaminate some good luck.
Derby County players are quite excited.
They have always believed in Wan Sheng, thinking that the team will definitely win this game, but Liverpool are the first to score. This put a lot of pressure on them, and now that they scored a goal, they tied the score, the two teams are back on the same starting line, and they are more confident in winning.
Now Derby County players have similar thoughts to Liverpool fans, but the mood is completely different. They are thinking of two wins against Liverpool this season, once at Anfield. Thinking about it this way, they don't think it's difficult to win. After all, they've defeated their opponents twice, and it's not surprising that they won again.
So they feel more relaxed.
While celebrating, the players did not forget to make a joke about Bolton Reiter. After all, it is his goal, and goals will always be envied by teammates. Because everyone wants to score, but there are few goals, and Leiter has scored a lot this season. With this goal, he has already tied Ivan Crew, and the two are tied for the team's second scorer.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and looked at the stadium with a smile.
He didn't cheer wildly after the goal, in fact, he was very excited and excited, but he just watched, because he didn't think the first goal was worth cheering wildly, it was not a winning goal, nor It's not the last time of the game, scoring is very important, but it's not that critical, especially in this game he came with the mentality of one battle to determine the outcome, only one goal, if he scores two or three consecutively, he will Excited to vent.
Now, he doesn't need to.
Because he wants to see the team score more goals.
On the other hand, Diamares was very excited. He and the players on the bench kept hugging and smiling happily. Perhaps because of the contrast, he just thought that Wan Sheng's strategy was too risky. The team tied the score, and scoring goals has this kind of charm. Now he doesn't think so at all. When he sees a goal, he thinks in his heart, 'What if you fight it?' After all, the team has a chance.
Maybe... Wansheng's idea is right!
This is the confidence and effect of scoring. If there is no goal, it is difficult for Diamares to change his opinion. Even if Wansheng says something like confidence, the truth speaks louder than words. .
Now he totally believed it.
Bolton Reiter's goal proved Wansheng's words. At Anfield, they have the ability to play against Liverpool and have the ability to fight for a big victory.
But if you want to say that you will definitely win your opponent by a large score, no one dares to say such a thing. After all, there is no "sure" in football games. Many games also rely on luck. It can only be said that the team has a good chance of winning and a satisfactory result. Not small.
That's all.
Even now the score is tied.
Bolton Reiter's goal put the two teams back on the same starting line, and soon the game resumed.
It can be seen that Liverpool have not been affected much, their performance is still very stable, perhaps because of that. They are prepared to be scored by Derby County. After all, they use an attack-oriented strategy. It is impossible to fight against each other without letting the opponent score. rather than whose defense is better.
However, Benitez began to worry about the game. Just now he saw that the team was passive and wanted to make some adjustments, but he didn't have time to do anything. As a result, Derby County scored a goal. After the restart of the game, he saw that the team's performance was relatively stable, so he continued to sit on the coach's bench. He wanted to see how the team would perform. In addition, in the first half There are less than ten minutes left in the game. If adjustments are made, halftime is the best time.
Overall, Liverpool's performance is not bad.
This is what Benitez observed.
The players were not affected by the equalizer. Although the scene is still suppressed by Derby County, the players have a solid defense, and the offense can also play smooth coordination and threats. This is already pretty good.
In fact, all Liverpool players think about is to beat Derby County.
As professional players, especially as players from Liverpool, one of the Premier League giants, when they met Derby County for the first time, they looked down on Derby County, even if they knew Derby County's performance was very good, but they were Liverpool, England definitely One of the top teams!
After two losses to Derby County. Liverpool players are even more unconvinced. Now in their own stadium, they want to achieve 'revenge', and even if Derby County ties the score, it will not shake their ideas.
In their opinion, they are Liverpool, England's Red Army, and naturally they are not comparable to a small team like Derby County, and in this game they have to prove something.
That's the pride of a Liverpool player. Or the sense of honor of a giant team.
This is determined by the background of the giants. A team like Liverpool is not comparable to the 'upstart' Chelsea. Many of their players are from Liverpool's youth academy, such as Gerrard, Riise, Carragher et al. They are all players from the Liverpool youth academy, even if Liverpool's performance is not as good as that of Manchester United and other teams. They also never thought of leaving the team. As professional players, they are fighting for themselves and also for Liverpool. In their hearts, Liverpool is not just the club they play for, but also a belief, a kind of Spiritual sustenance. In contrast, Chelsea has no such background at all. Chelsea's players, even Lampard, are not from the team's training camp. There is only one Terry that can be mentioned. Other players are from other balls. The team came to Chelsea, they came to Chelsea, more for themselves, for their own honor, and they went to the game to play better. Naturally, they had no faith in the team.
This is the difference between the rich and the nouveau riche.
For their team, Liverpool players have a kind of pride, which makes them not easily give up the game, and their emotions will not be affected by the passive situation, because they have to fight for the team to the last minute anyway.
However, Derby County's goal still had some impact on Liverpool as a whole.
Derby County's goal reminded Liverpool players of the opponent's very strong offensive ability, a quick counterattack in ten seconds, and smooth cooperation in the middle. This is not something that ordinary teams can play.
So after the game restarted, although Liverpool players were all working hard, there was a difference in their thinking - some players wanted to attack and get the team back in the lead, and some players wanted to solidify the defense and prevent Derby County has another good chance.
Two completely different ideas, appearing in a team is quite dangerous.
As a result, Liverpool's performance was quite stable, and everyone was working hard, but their formation was a bit too wide. After a few attacks, the midfield kept appearing blank. At first, they didn't see it, but many people realized this. By one o'clock it was too late.
Derby County is quite the team that will seize the opportunity!
When the game restarted, Wan Sheng looked at the court and saw the opportunity in just two minutes. He waved to the court, which seemed to be a normal gesture of greeting, but in the eyes of captain Marcus, he knew this action. Represents the team to strengthen the offense.
As a head coach, he naturally doesn't shout when he directs the game. Wansheng told the players a lot of actions. He used his eyes and some movements to direct the game, but generally told the players what to do next. , he took the opportunity to ask the players to tell them face to face, but now there is no need to do so, he just let the team strengthen some offense.
What does it mean to strengthen the offense?
This is not a simple meaning. It includes many adjustments, such as moving forward the formation, for example, the two full-backs need to find opportunities to intervene more, and even if there is a chance, the central defenders must also participate in the attack.
After Wan Sheng made the adjustments, Derby County's attack was significantly more violent.
Correspondingly, Liverpool are a little confused. They don't have the same idea, some want to attack, some want to defend.
Originally, Benitez also saw the team's problems, but looking at the time, the game was about to enter stoppage time, he did not stand up, just thinking about what to do in the second half.
The main thing is that Benitez doesn't think Derby will be able to score in the coming minutes.
The game is about to enter stoppage time. There is not much time in the first half. When the score between the two teams is even, during this time period, in most games, both sides will tacitly waste time.
What Benitez didn't think about was that it was just an 'normal' time.
Wansheng came to the game with the goal of 'one battle to determine the outcome'. Naturally, he had to seize every opportunity. When he gave the command, Derby County immediately launched a stormy attack on the Liverpool goal, and the entire team moved forward. , almost surrounded the Liverpool half.
Seeing this situation, anyone can know that Derby County is stepping up their attack.
Benitez immediately stood up from the coaching bench. He walked to the sidelines, but he had no time to do anything, because the command of the game also had to be in the intermission period. Now that Liverpool's backcourt is in crisis, it is difficult for him to command players. See, it will also divide the players' minds and leave opportunities for opponents.
His command was a step slower, and the result was a passive situation.
Then, he watched as Liverpool was under siege. The football kept rushing into the Liverpool penalty area and then rushing out again. Whenever this time, Liverpool's frontcourt players wanted to launch a counterattack to find opportunities, but they suddenly realized that when Derby County The full-court pressing is only effective when the opponent's half-court is placed - their counterattacks can't hit half-court.
They were a little panicked!
But Derby County would not be merciful because of the panic of their opponents. They wanted Liverpool to be as chaotic as possible. Derby County used several consecutive waves of offensive to beat Liverpool by surprise. Then Van der Vaart found an opportunity in the middle and completed a cold kick at the front of the penalty area. shoot.
Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek responded quickly and saved the ball.
But before the Liverpool fans could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a figure in a white jersey appear before the football that bounced back into the penalty area. into the goal.
The ball is in!
In five minutes, Derby County scored two goals in a row!
Until then, the fans did not have time to take a closer look at the white figure of the goal. The unusually clear scar on his face let everyone know his name - it was Frank Ribery!
“Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”
"Frank Ribery!!!"
"One shot! Goal scored! 1:2! 1:2! Frank Ribery's goal gave Derby County the lead! They were ahead of Liverpool at the end of the first half!"
Against the background of the roar of the commentator of the British BBC Sports Channel, Benitez's unusually solemn and helpless expression was displayed on the screen.
The Spaniard knew that, at least in this first half, he lost to the young Chinese. (To be continued ~^~)
