Chapter 472 Wind-Like Speed, Wind-Like Goal (Part 2)
The game was in a state of anxiety.
Liverpool is obviously not satisfied with being tied by Aston Villa at home, they frequently put pressure on Aston Villa's halftime.
However, Aston Villa's defense is really good.
"This Aston Villa's defense has improved a lot." Tony Parker also expressed his appreciation for this, although he said this only for the criticism after the "turning point". "However, you can't win with defense!"
Benitez already has a judgment in his heart: Aston Villa seems to be really satisfied with the draw, and just wants to keep the one-to-one score.
"Did they really think they could hold out for 45 minutes in the second half?" Liverpool assistant coach Paco Yesterdam asked suspiciously.
Benitez smiled and shook his head, confident in his team's attacking abilities.
Liverpool's midfield with Torres, Lucas Reva, Mascherano, Gerrard, Kevin Dirk, and Benayoun is at least a bit stronger than Aston Villa.
Lucas Reva takes the ball forward in midfield.
The Brazilian is an all-around midfielder who can attack as well as defend, as he has been dubbed Brazil's "Barack".
In addition, he also has an EU passport, and Atletico Madrid's "blood" flows in his body.
His uncle Revinia played for Atletico Madrid in the 1970s and was known for his cycling and powerful shots.
Revinia made his first appearance for Atletico Madrid that year and completed a hat-trick.
Some of his movements have also been made into teaching films for Spanish teenagers to learn.
Rewa inherited his uncle's football genes. He was once the captain of the Brazil U19 national team and was highly valued by Benitez.
...
Clement went up to defend Lucas.
Lucas Leiva did not pass the ball immediately. He wanted to continue to control the ball while observing the running positions of his teammates to find a suitable passing line.
Clement threw himself on Lucas.
In fact, for Lucas, the safest thing to do at this time is to pass the football, but he didn't do that, he stopped and turned around, trying to get rid of Clement.
This is a relatively common movement for midfielders. They stop suddenly and turn around, give their back to the opponent, and use their strong body to separate the opponent from the football.
Then dribble forward with the ball, or you can look up and observe the front more calmly, looking for a suitable route for the ball.
Lucas can attack and defend well, he is very good at playing this hand.
However, this time he met Clement.
In the first half of the game, Clement had already noticed that Lucas liked to play this trick.
Therefore, Clement already had a countermeasure.
Just when Lucas stopped the ball and turned around, Clement suddenly jumped up like a leopard out of the cage.
The two bodies collided, and Lucas, who had good confrontation ability, was staggered by Clement, and suddenly lost control of the ball under his feet.
Then Clement stepped forward and used his body to separate the football from Lucas.
Lucas was naturally unwilling to lose his football, and wanted to squeeze over and use his body to regain his position.
However, he still underestimated Clement's physical confrontation ability, and abruptly failed to squeeze Clement away.
"Beautiful steal!" John Mortenson praised, "The tackle was very decisive."
"I want to praise Clemente's physical fitness. This physique is strong!" Tony Parker praised.
"The timing of steals is well grasped, and the physical confrontation ability is good." Lineker "summed up" said, "This kind of midfielder is simply tailor-made for the Premier League."
...
When the commentators praised Clement, Clement who completed the steal did not stick the ball, and directly handed the football to Petrov, and the Bulgarian teammates organized the attack.
As Makelele's "apprentice", Clemente is deeply impressed by Makelele's style, absolutely not sticking to the ball, he knows what his job is: the team's midfield barrier.
Leave the offense to others.
Aston Villa fans in the away stands at Anfield applauded Clement's tackle.
Aston Villa's waist has never been as hard as it is now.
Clement is not black and hard, but he is hard.
Fang Jue also applauded from the audience, applauding the wonderful performance of his proud disciple.
"The Spanish Football Association wants to write me a letter of thanks." Fang Jue said to Ceballos, "I helped them develop a top midfielder."
Ceballos nodded with a smile. Fang Jue likes to boast innocuously, but this matter is definitely not bragging.
"Back to defense!" Liverpool defender Carragher shouted.
It is definitely very dangerous for one's own midfielder to be intercepted.
Mascherano pounced on Petrov, who had the ball, hoping to delay Aston Villa's counterattack.
Petrov did not give Mascherano a chance to get close.
He passed the ball directly to Deisler.
Deisler pulls the ball and turns, pulls laterally, gets rid of Insua's entanglement, and then sends the pass directly.
A ground ball with a slight arc quickly crossed the feet of Dirk, who came up to defend, and rolled to the right.
...
"Deisler, nice pass!"
"Ah, it was Salif who caught the ball, a bad choice." Tony Parker shook his head, "This Togolese player has no strengths other than his speed. When the football comes to him..."
He didn't finish his sentence:
Daniel Ayala, who hastily filled his seat, just rushed up when he saw a blue figure rushing over and received the football.
change direction!
Just wiped it in front of him.
"Beautiful breakthrough! My God, Mustafa Salif!" Lineker exclaimed.
"...the football has come to him..." Tony Parker's throat seemed to be stuck by something.
No one noticed when Salif got in place. They saw the Togolese player rushing up like a wind, catching the ball, changing direction, passing others, all in one go.
There were boos from the stands at Anfield.
In the ear-piercing boos, Salif cut inside and rushed to the penalty area after making a pass.
The Liverpool defenders panicked.
Carragher hastily dropped Husky and jumped at the intruder.
Carragher felt overwhelmed, he didn't know whether Salif would shoot or choose to pass.
In my impression, this Togolese player rarely scores goals?
Carragher immediately judged that Salif might pass the ball to Husky.
...
"It's a good breakthrough, but now Salif is facing a choice, should he pass the ball or shoot?" Tony Parker pretended that what he said just now was ignored, "The problem is that Salif's shooting level is very bad, so he should choose ..."
Carragher is ready to block the opponent's cross.
However, Salif was far more decisive than he had imagined, as soon as he cut into the penalty area, he shot directly!
After he shot the football, Carragher's foot shoveled over, it was too late!
Liverpool goalkeeper Reina reacted as fast as he could, but was still half a beat too late, and the football flew into the goal through the gap between the bottom of his left hand and the goal post!
"Goooooooooooooaaaaaal"
"Oh oh oh!" Gold medal commentator John Mortensen exclaimed excitedly, "Mustafa Salif! He scored! Two to one! Aston Villa lead again, they are at Anfield The pitch leads Liverpool for the second time!"
"Mustafa Salif! Wind-like speed, exciting high-speed breakthrough, calm shot! Wind-like speed, wind-like goal!"
"2:1! Aston Villa leads again!" Tony Parker paused for a few seconds before saying, well, he didn't mention the scorer's information.
No. 2, ask for a monthly pass.
