Chapter 467

Sometimes football games are full of weird coincidences.

It's like Liverpool's away game against Everton.

In the opening ten seconds, Yang Yang used a long shot to pierce Everton's goal.

This earth-shattering shot made everyone see Yang Yang's strength, and it also disrupted Everton's rhythm.

In the next 90 minutes of the game, Liverpool completely dominated, but they still failed to create a good scoring opportunity.

Yang Yang worked hard to find opportunities, but on the one hand, he was closely guarded by Everton, and on the other hand, Liverpool did not give him enough support, either his teammates failed to pass, or the ball failed to pass well.

In short, there are various reasons why he failed to score again.

Yang Yang failed to score again, and the other players were also misfiring.

Even in the second half, Benitez replaced Robbie Fowler and Luis Garcia successively, but failed to change the team's offense.

But anyway, with the opening goal, the team can also win.

In the 94th minute, which is the last minute of the game, maybe even the last few seconds, Everton shot from a long distance, and Reina made a very fatal, even amateur mistake.

The difficulty of saving the shot itself is not that big.

The Spanish goalkeeper stood a little out and rushed back to the goal line to make a save. At this time, there are many choices. You can choose to lift the crossbar or push the ball to the side to let it go out of bounds, but Reina seems to be choosing When he hesitated, he obviously wanted to hold the ball directly.

But because he quickly chased back to the goal line to make a save, and his body still had the inertia to rush towards the goal, so when he was holding the ball, he obviously realized that what he was holding was not a ball at all, but a hot potato .

If he doesn't let go, the end result is that he will rush into the goal with the ball.

As a result, the Spanish goalkeeper quickly threw the ball.

The worst thing is that Everton, who had no decent chances throughout the game, got such a god-given opportunity at the last moment of the game. Striker Andy Johnson followed and hit the empty goal with a close-range header.

One to one!

Three points instantly turned into one point!

…………

…………

"Haha, all I can say is this is definitely the most bizarre error in the Premier League so far this season."

"Reina once again proved to us how important a consistent goalkeeper is."

"Yang Yang scored Everton's goal in the opening ten seconds and scored the most wonderful long-range shot of the season, and also the fastest goal in the Premier League this season, but his teammate Reina was in the game. There was a stupid mistake at the last minute."

"Benitez absolutely had reason to be frustrated with his team's performance because they had already scored the three points, but Reina handed them away and handed it over to Everton. "

…………

…………

Bol quickly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Liverpool's players seemed to be in a very downhearted mood, and they were obviously devastated by the goalkeeper's bizarre error at the last minute of the game, and everyone was very depressed.

It should have been three points, but it turned out to be one point.

It's not too bad to get a point against Everton on the road and a derby in the same city, but it should have been three points...

Reina slumped on the goal line, took off the goalkeeper gloves, and held his head in remorse.

Yang Yang was also full of disappointment, because he seemed to have seen three points, but unexpectedly it turned into one point.

Ask yourself, he really tried his best, but in this game, Liverpool's state is really not good.

Reina's last-minute mistake is very inappropriate, but should you blame him for it?

Yang Yang was relieved quickly, because no one is immune to mistakes!

Last season, Liverpool conceded 25 goals in the Premier League, only four more than Chelsea, who won the championship, while Reina's clean sheet was 22, the highest in the entire Premier League. It alone amazes everyone.

It can be said that Reina's strength does not need to be doubted, but he is indeed not stable enough.

Besides, in the goal of Everton just now, Reina's mistakes were magnified infinitely, but at the same time, he was also taking the blame for Carragher, because he did not go up to stop the opponent's long-range shot at the first time.

The vice-captain, who has just returned from injury, is indeed in a fairly normal state today.

But football is like that.

Accept that Reyna and Carragher were brilliant at their peaks, and they were bad at their troughs.

Yang Yang himself will make some mistakes sooner or later, such as missing some great opportunities or something.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang took a deep breath and walked towards the goal quickly.

Almost at the same time, Gerrard also walked quickly towards the goal.

"Pepe, that's not your responsibility, you don't need to feel guilty." Gerald comforted.

Yang Yang didn't say a word, just stood silently beside Reina to show his support for him.

He can imagine that tomorrow's media will definitely accuse Reina overwhelmingly, and the pressure on him will be greater than now.

…………

…………

In the dressing room after the game, Benitez was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

But he did not target Reina, who made mistakes, but everyone in the team except Yang Yang.

He believes that this game should have been a big win for the team, but it turned into a draw in the end, which deserves everyone's vigilance.

But at the same time, he also said that it is not unacceptable to draw a one-to-one draw with the city's rival Everton, especially considering that the team is deeply affected by the national team's games, and many people are obviously not in the state.

Liverpool's players can also feel this.

Crouch, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Hypia, Carragher...

From front to back, almost the entire central axis of the team was sluggish. If it wasn't for Yang Yang's goal shortly after the opening, it might have been difficult for Liverpool to retreat from Goodson Park.

And Benitez also focused on Yang Yang, believing that he played a key role in the three games after his comeback.

Needless to say in the first game, two shots and one pass, the second game assisted a lore goal, and today he scored the fastest goal in the Premier League this season. It can be said that he is the only Liverpool player in this game. highlights.

"Before, you said to the media that your target was Henry last season."

After listening to Benitez's words, Yang Yang nodded.

"Henry scored ten goals in the first nineteen rounds of last season, and the nineteenth round of this season is just before Christmas, so I give you a promise, if you can make it after the first half , scored ten goals, and at the same time, the team successfully qualified from the Champions League group stage, then I will let you off before Christmas!"

As soon as Benitez finished speaking, there was an uproar in the locker room.

Christmas break, this is definitely something every Premier League player dreams of.

The teammates in the locker room immediately forgot about Reina's mistake just now, and instead looked at Yang Yang with envy and even jealousy.

That's the Christmas holiday!

"Okay, let's make a promise." Yang Yang said eagerly.

There's a holiday, who's not happy?

Besides, this is also a challenge for him.

Yesterdam also came forward to advocate a little at this time. It was nothing more than Yunyun who said that it was not easy to score ten goals, which greatly enlivened the atmosphere in the locker room and made everyone gradually get out of Reina's mistake. shadow.

Christmas holidays are not uncommon.

Manchester United have traditionally had a Christmas break, and Ferguson always took as much time as possible to give his players time off so that they could return home around Christmas to relax, in the post-Christmas Devil's schedule, and in the second half of the league. Kick out better.

Benitez has been in the Premier League for two years. Coaching has always been strict, and he has never given special cases to players, but he has given Yang Yang the green light. It is not difficult to see that he attaches great importance to Yang Yang.

After Yang Yang took on the challenge, he quickly noticed the envious eyes of his teammates, and he immediately turned to look at Benitez, "Boss, it's not enough to bet on me alone, otherwise, the bet is higher, If I do it, you will give the whole team a holiday, how about that?"

Yang Yang's provocative remarks immediately made everyone in the locker room boil and applauded him.

Gerald and the others even rushed up to hug him, like a good buddy showing loyalty.

Benitez's face changed slightly, just as he was about to say something, Yesterdam beside him secretly pulled his clothes and nodded slightly towards him, as if to say that the team's morale is available!

The Spaniard is not stupid, he understood immediately after turning his head, and he secretly cried out fortunately. Fortunately, Yesterdam reminded himself, otherwise, if he rejected Yang Yang, not only would he miss an opportunity to boost the morale of the team, but it might cause the players Their fighting spirit was frustrated.

"Okay, but it's not enough to score ten goals," Benitez said.

"Then tell me." Gerald shouted after him.

"Yeah, boss, say it!"

The players booed one after another, all eagerly waiting for the holiday.

Benitez and Yesterdam glanced at each other, neither of them had experience in this regard.

In the end, the two negotiated properly. As long as the team does not fall out of the top three and remains competitive for the championship, then after the 18th round, the team will be given three to four days off, depending on the situation.

Although there is no way to have a holiday on Christmas Day, everyone is very excited.

As for Yang Yang, he didn't care either.

Christmas doesn't mean much to him at all, but it's not as good as the Lunar New Year.

But seeing his teammates so excited, he was also happy.

As for Yang Yang, he still did not forget his teammates even though he could choose to enjoy his privileges. He resolutely chose to share weal and woe. Many teammates including Gerrard also looked at him with admiration, and many people turned to him. thank.

"Don't thank me first, I still have to wait until I score ten goals and the team qualify for the Champions League group stage, then there will be a holiday." Yang Yang reminded with a smile.

Gerrard and other teammates also expressed their opinions, they will do their best to help him score goals, and everyone will work together to achieve the goal and get the holiday.

Yang Yang could feel that this time he made a wise choice and was further accepted by his teammates.

This can also be regarded as making the most of the situation, a blessing in disguise.
