Chapter 682 Costa! (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)
Gareth Bell made a gesture to break through, but he kicked with his heel.
With a deft and concealed heel tap, the ball was passed to Ballack.
Without the slightest hesitation, the German veteran made a diagonal pass to Deisler.
In this matter, Liverpool's left is a large space, and Deisler directly dribbled the ball forward, and when approaching the penalty area, he made a gesture to cut inside.
Konchesky, who has been "fighting and retreating" to mark Deisler and did not dare to shoot blindly, has no way out in this matter. If he does not intercept, Deisler will enter the penalty area.
Konchesky blocks.
At the moment of his kick, Deisler pushed the arch of his foot, and the football rolled past Konchesky's feet.
Konchesky was shocked and turned to chase, but happened to collide with Skrtel who was filling in, and the two fell to the ground together.
Shevchenko had just received the ball and was thinking about how to get past Skrtel and get out of the way of the shot angle when he saw two Liverpool defenders collided and fell down.
He was taken aback, but his feet were not slow. He directly touched the ball to avoid these two people, and then when Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was still a little confused, he volleyed and shot successfully.
In the 15th minute of the game, Aston Villa scored a goal from Shevchenko, and they led Liverpool 1-0 away.
Shevchenko and Deisler, who scored the goal, celebrated by high-fiving, and more Aston Villa players gathered around to cheer and celebrate the goal.
Aston Villa players celebrate on the pitch.
Fang Jue also raised his hands off the court, bouncing happily like a monkey.
Not far away, Liverpool coach Hodgson looked livid.
Losing the ball is something he doesn't want to see, especially this way of losing the ball due to his own mistakes.
Hodgson could see clearly that if Konchesky hadn't knocked down his teammate Skrtel in a hurry, Shevchenko wouldn't have gotten such a good unguarded shot.
This is a big gift package from my side!
Hodgson felt uncomfortable. Konchesky was his favorite player when he was at Fulham. When he came to Liverpool to coach, the first signing was to recruit Konchesky. This is the direct line of his direct line. Ah, being tricked by the person he likes the most, Hodgson... has gotten used to it:
This isn't the first time Konchesky has had such a bad season.
"Mistake! Koncheski made a mistake, he knocked Skrtel down, Shevchenko scored and Aston Villa laughed at Liverpool's error package."
"Liverpool's own mistakes are one of the reasons for this conceded goal. However, we must also see that Aston Villa's wonderful cooperation in this counterattack, the attack was launched from the left, and Bale's breakthrough alone attracted attention. Three Liverpool players, his heel knock is the highlight, Ballack quickly split the ball, Deisler's breakthrough pass, Shevchenko's shot, the whole counterattack process is very clear and very fast!"
After a one-to-zero lead, Aston Villa's offensive became more intense.
First, Shevchenko hit the ball back to Ronaldo, the Brazilian veteran followed up with a direct long-range shot, and the football was thrown out of the crossbar by Renato.
Aston Villa's corner.
Then Deisler took the corner kick, Shevchenko nodded in front and rubbed, Ballack then shook his head and hit the goal, the football was blocked by Reina.
Ronaldo half volleyed and the football hit the arm of Koncheski, who was standing on the goal line.
Aston Villa players are raising their hands, signaling Konchesky handball.
However, the referee seemed to be unable to see clearly because of the angle, so he ignored it.
Fang Jue jumped into a rage on the sidelines. He pointed in the direction of the penalty spot and made a gesture of raising his arm to block the football for the referee to see.
At this time, in the stadium, the game is still going on.
The referee 'ignored' Konchesky's handball, and the latter kicked the football with a big foot, but the football did not see the high.
Outside the penalty area, Ballack pushed the football back.
Shevchenko was crowded in the penalty area. He jumped up and headed the ball. Just as he pushed the football up, he was punched heavily on the cheek and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Oh, my God!"
"Reina made a mistake when he hit the ball. He missed the ball and hit Shevchenko with a punch."
Reina was also terrified. He knelt down to check on Shevchenko's situation. Here, without the players shouting, Aston Villa's team doctor rushed into the pitch.
"Are you trying to murder?" Fang Jue yelled at Hodgson.
The slow motion shows that Ballack pushed the football into the penalty area, and Reina chose to abandon the goal. He punched the football in the air, but there was an unexpected situation. The fist hit Shevchenko directly in the face.
"This punch looks scary." Howe said nervously, "I hope Shevchenko is okay."
Aston Villa's team doctor was checking Shevchenko's condition. After about a minute, Aston Villa No. 7 regained some consciousness.
The team doctor is holding up a finger for Shevchenko to count.
The stretcher car also entered the field, and Shevchenko was carried onto the stretcher car and pulled to the sidelines.
"How?" Fang Jue asked with concern.
"It's not bad. The consciousness is still clear. It's not a big problem. It's just that it's better to have an examination to rule out the possibility of concussion." The team doctor said, "You can stay on the court, but it's best to replace and rest, the right to decide Here you are, boss."
Fang Jue nodded. He patted Shevchenko on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort for your health, and asked Diego Costa, who was on the bench, to get up and warm up.
Fang Jue was actually a little angry, he cursed in his heart, Koulibaly had encountered a similar situation in the game before, and now Shevchenko has also been hit, Aston Villa has been a little unhappy recently lucky.
Hodgson felt even more that he was the unlucky one. He watched the referee point to the penalty spot, and at the same time showed Liverpool goalkeeper Reina a red card. He was going crazy.
"It was an accident, the goalkeeper didn't do it on purpose! It wasn't on purpose!" Hodgson yelled loudly from the sidelines.
On the field, Liverpool players, including Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, were also pleading for Reina.
The referee ignored this completely, and he signaled the Liverpool people not to make trouble and disperse, otherwise he would get mad.
Hodgson's face was livid, the score was zero to one, and now the goalkeeper was sent off and a penalty kick was awarded. His confidence in this game is rapidly dissipating.
Liverpool's young substitute goalkeeper, the Hungarian goalkeeper Pete Galaxi, came off the bench before he even had time to warm up.
He replaced Argentine veteran Maxi Rodriguez on offense.
"This is the Liverpool first-team debut for the 20-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper. The first time he comes off the bench, he has to stand in front of twelve yards. This is quite a test for this young man."
Milner stands on the penalty spot holding the football.
This is Fang Jue's designated penalty shooter.
Fang Jue's order of penalty shooters for the team is Shevchenko, Diego Costa, Deisler and Milner.
Among them, the order of Deisler and Milner is not fixed, and the two can discuss it.
Milner played a very low-key and diligent role in Aston Villa.
However, if it is his turn to take a free kick or a penalty, it is absolutely unambiguous.
During training, Aston Villa also practiced penalty kicks, and everyone noticed that Milner's penalty kicks turned out to be so stable.
Milner's penalty kick is a feature, that is, the strength and angle control is very good, left lower volley, right lower push, basically all low shots into the net; occasionally a burst shot, all high quality, enough The goalkeeper had a drink.
Of course, the penalty kick technique is not the key, but the psychological quality is strong.
Therefore, generally speaking, when Shevchenko and Costa are not on the court, Deisler will take the initiative to give the penalty to Milner to take the penalty.
The referee blows his whistle.
Milner runs.
Volley the bottom left corner of the goal.
Liverpool's young goalkeeper Galaxi, who had just entered the field, misjudged the direction and the football went into the net.
"Goooooooooooooooaaaaaal!"
"Two to zero! Milner scored the penalty kick created by Shevchenko! Aston Villa leads 2 to 0 away."
Aston Villa players were happily celebrating the goal, while Liverpool had a dignified atmosphere. Their captain Steven Gerrard was clapping his hands and shouting loudly, hoping to boost the morale of the team.
At this moment, in the stands of the Anfield Stadium, under the unfavorable situation where the team fell behind zero to two and one less player was fighting, the Liverpool fans did not boo or boo.
First, the singing sounded from the KOP stands, and finally the singing swept the entire stands.
More than 50,000 Liverpool fans all stood up, raised their arms, opened their mouths, and sang in unison, the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" rang through the stadium.
Fang Jue looked at the red stands, and he turned to Ceballos and said, "This is the troublesome part of this stadium."
At Anfield, no matter how bad the situation is, as long as the song sounds, Liverpool players often feel like they have been beaten, super difficult to deal with.
Amidst the singing, Aston Villa made a substitution. Fang Jue's number one unconventional pony, Diego Costa, came off the bench to replace the injured Shevchenko.
...
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaal!"
"Steven Gerrard! Gerrard! Gerrard! Gerrard! Our captain, one to two! Only one goal behind! This is Liverpool, this is Anfield!"
Outside the stadium at Anfield, the maniac roar of Liverpool's local radio commentator was heard over the radio of the police car.
"A zero to two is nothing. In Turkey, we can come back to the top of Europe with a zero to three. In Anfield, a zero to two is just a piece of cake. One to two! Well done, captain!"
Thirty-three minutes into the game, Liverpool took advantage of a free kick, and their captain Steven Gerrard scored a heavy bombardment to break through the goal guarded by Friedel.
"Good job, Captain!" The young policeman even honked his horn excitedly.
Five minutes later, the thirty-eighth minute of the game.
"Dangerous! Costa! He shoots and it goes in!"
"Costa received a pass from Bale, half-turned and tackled, the football flew into the net from Galaxi's left-hand side, and we were one-to-three behind."
"This ball, Costa fouled!" The Liverpool radio commentator complained, "Before Costa turned around, he fouled Carragher, but the referee turned a blind eye to it."
"Damn referee!" There was a voice of abuse in the police car.
In the on-site commentary, Lineker watched the replay of the goal and said, "Before Costa shot and Carragher got stuck, Carragher was pushed away and fell to the ground. It is hard to say whether Costa committed a foul. He is such a player." , Even if it is a foul, it is difficult for you to obtain direct evidence."
"No foul! Carragher can't fight Costa with his body, it's just a reasonable collision." Birmingham Radio's ass is naturally on Aston Villa's side, and his tone is extremely firm.
After the goal, Costa was very excited. He waved his fists, shouted, and beat his chest.
On the sidelines, Fang Jue also applauded happily and raised his arms.
The team has Shevchenko and Ronaldo, as well as Costa and Abanglaho, and he is very relieved on the offensive end.
Especially Costa, this kid can be said to have exploded suddenly this season.
It can't be said that Costa's performance last season was not good enough, but this season's performance was even more impressive, as if he had been opened to the second line of Ren Du, and he was in great condition.
Fang Jue is very satisfied with Costa's state.
However, Rao did not expect that Costa, who came on as a temporary substitute today, simply opened fire and swept everything.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Liverpool made an attack. Dirk Didier made a chance in the frontcourt. Score.
Liverpool 2-3 Aston Villa!
Anfield cheered loudly.
When the starting goalkeeper was sent off and one person was missing, he was able to get another goal, and the goal was so beautiful, which really excited the home fans.
Two to three!
Only one goal behind in the first half, so there is still work to do in the second half.
At this moment, Aston Villa used a goal to give the home jersey a gouge.
This is Ballack's long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which caused the goalkeeper to drop the ball. Ronaldo's supplementary shot was blocked by defender Carragher with his body.
Corner awarded to Aston Villa.
Bell's free kick went into the penalty area.
Diego Costa got out of the crowd and hit the football on the back of his head.
The football jumped up, just passed the hands of Liverpool goalkeeper Galaxi, stuck to the lower edge of the crossbar, and hung into the net.
"Gooooooooooooaaaaal!"
"Diego Costa! Costa! Costa! He came off the bench and scored twice in the first half of the game! Four to two! Costa helped Aston Villa score again before the end of the first half. Pull it out to two balls!"
"Crazy Costa! Beautiful header! Substitute scored twice, both goals scored when Liverpool had just narrowed the score, key goals at critical moments, I want to praise Cos tower."
The commentary seat was boiling.
