Chapter 629 Teach Them a Lesson! [The First Update of the Explosive Liver, Ask for a Monthly Ticket]
West London, England, Wembley Stadium.
League Cup final, Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur.
When the game progressed to the 88th minute, Aurelio quickly advanced from the left. After receiving a side kick from Harvey Alonso, he sent the ball to Yang Yang in front of him.
When Yang Yang stopped the ball, he quickly got rid of the defense of German defender Robert Huth, and suddenly started to cut inside with the ball.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Zokola suddenly rushed out diagonally and knocked down Yang Yang on the left side of the front of the penalty area.
The impact was very strong and painful, and Yang Yang fell to the ground directly.
Although Zokola is not tall, he is only 1.79 meters, and he does not look big, only 72 kilograms, but in fact, like most African players, he has very strong muscles and great strength , The physical confrontation is very strong.
Just now Yang Yang dribbled the ball at high speed to start an inside cut, and Zokola quickly bullied him and knocked him over. He himself came prepared and there was no problem, but Yang Yang was miserable. .
The referee quickly ran over, called Zokola over, and gave a stern warning.
This is not the first time that the Côte d'Ivoire midfielder has fouled Yang Yang in this game. As early as the first half, he had already received a yellow card for this, and just five minutes ago, he was almost in the same position, using small moves Yang Yang was pulled down.
But that direct free kick, Yang Yang missed the penalty and was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Unexpectedly, five minutes later, the Côte d'Ivoires repeated their old tricks, even worse.
The entire Wembley Stadium was flooded with boos and cheers, and it was not clear which side had more fans.
Among the 100,000 fans, there are obviously more fans from Tottenham Hotspur in North London, because this is London.
Liverpool's coach Benitez protested seriously on the sidelines, and Gerrard was also negotiating with the referee, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur's defensive players moved too much, and the referee's enforcement was too soft in this game , Not enough protection for Yang Yang.
"He did it on purpose, did you see?" Gerald's voice was loud.
Liverpool's team doctor Mark Waller rushed into the field quickly, and everyone was very worried about whether Yang Yang would be injured after being hit.
In the Premier League, Zokola has never been a good stubble, and there are many small moves.
It's like now, after he bumped into someone, he received a stern warning from the head coach, but retreated like a normal person.
Tottenham Hotspur players and manager Juande Ramos are also used to it.
In the situation just now, if Zokola didn't foul, Yang Yang couldn't be stopped at all.
In the entire Premier League, and even the whole world, who doesn't know how terrible it is for Yang Yang to hit the goal with his right foot after cutting in from the left?
If he is really given a chance to kick, wouldn't Tottenham Hotspur's hard-working situation be ruined?
At this time, the time on the scoreboard slowly jumped to 89 minutes.
The score is still one to one, and the two sides are tied.
…………
…………
Although the League Cup is regarded as tasteless, it is a festival for London fans.
Because Tottenham are in the final.
After Juande Ramos came to Tottenham Hotspur midway, he achieved surprising results, leading Tottenham Hotspur all the way to the League Cup final, and the duel between the two Spanish coaches is undoubtedly Quite worth seeing.
Some people say that in London, Tottenham Hotspur is the team with the most fans.
This has led to Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 fans, and it is hard to find a ticket.
The highest ticket price reached £2,000, which was a frighteningly high price.
At the current price in London, 1,500 pounds is the monthly salary of a nurse, and 2,000 pounds can pay for a month's rent of the most exclusive apartment in London's West End, but at Wembley Stadium, it only takes 90 minutes.
Even so, tickets are still in high demand.
...
Whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool, they all want to win the first championship in 2008 and get off to a good start.
Benitez also did his best in this game.
Javi Alonso, who has just returned from maternity leave, returned to the starting lineup.
The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Aurelio, Daniel Agger, Carragher, Arbeloa, the midfielder is Javier Mascherano and Xavi Alonso partnering double midfielders, Gerrard Suddenly, Yang Yang, Crouch and Dirk Dirk teamed up with the Trident.
It is not difficult to see from this starting lineup that Liverpool attaches great importance to this game.
After all, he has already reached the finals, and it is impossible to give up.
...
Tottenham Hotspur's overall strength is inferior to Liverpool, but the North London team played a round of attack at the beginning.
But soon, Liverpool suppressed the opponent.
Although there are some stumbles, Liverpool's overall strength is still higher than that of Tottenham Hotspur, which allows Liverpool to firmly control the rhythm and possession of the ball. Whether it is in terms of offensive continuity or efficiency, Liverpool must suppress other side.
This advantage is also reflected in the score.
Liverpool took the lead in seizing an opportunity in the first half. After Yang Yang broke into the penalty area from the left, he passed a cross to the goal. Gerrard followed up with a push and hit, opening the scoring for the Red Army.
Then Liverpool still controlled the game steadily, and the situation seemed to be developing in Liverpool's favor.
But suddenly, in the 70th minute, when Lennon made a pass from the right, Daniel Agger made a clearance in the penalty area, but unexpectedly, the line referee raised the flag to indicate a handball foul, and the referee quickly awarded a penalty kick .
This immediately made the Liverpool players very dissatisfied, thinking that this should not be a penalty. Daniel Agger also repeatedly emphasized that his arms were not open.
But in the end, the referee upheld the original verdict and Berbatov made a penalty kick.
Since then, Liverpool has stepped up their offense, and Benitez even replaced Mascherano, pushed Dirk to the forward position, and used Pennant to play on the right to strengthen the team's offense.
Facing the mad attacking Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur retreated steadily and had to retreat to their own half. Under the control of Tottenham Hotspur, it is difficult to get a chance.
On the contrary, Liverpool frequently created murderous intentions.
Yang Yang has become the most critical part of Liverpool's offense, constantly cooperating with his teammates, or using his personal ability to create threats.
But precisely because of this, he became a thorn in the side of Tottenham Hotspur's defensive players and was frequently violated.
Until the 88th minute, Zokola directly knocked him to the ground.
But unfortunately, the referee, who was soft on the whistle, still did not show Zokola a second yellow card at this moment, allowing the Ivorian midfielder to escape.
…………
…………
"The Liverpool doctor rushed onto the pitch."
"It seems that Yang Yang suffered a lot this time."
"Let's re-watch the slow motion just now. Zokola's collision was indeed a big move. Yang Yang didn't even have time to dodge, and was knocked over by him directly."
"I hope he doesn't get hurt."
...
The Liverpool fans at the scene were also very anxious. They were very worried. Yang Yang finally got out of the scoring shortage and scored in three consecutive games. If he is injured now, what will Liverpool do?
The Liverpool players also surrounded Yang Yang very nervously, and they seemed to be very concerned.
...
Yang Yang lay on the ground, allowing team doctor Mark Waller to check and inquire about his condition.
At the beginning, it was really painful, and I writhed all over, but after lying down for a while, it got better.
But even so, Mark Waller still signaled him to lie down, check it out, and buy time for the team to breathe by the way. After all, the game is about to end, and it is likely to enter overtime.
But soon, under the inquiry of the referee, Yang Yang got up from the grass with the help of Gerrard and Harvey Alonso.
At this time, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Many fans were shouting Yang Yang's name, obviously happy that he was back on his feet.
...
"Yang Yang stood up again, Liverpool's team doctor withdrew from the field, and he seemed to be fine."
"Zokola's foul just now gave Liverpool another free kick on the left side of the front penalty area."
"We can see that it is exactly twenty-five meters from the goal."
"This distance is not far or close, and this position is also good, you can directly hit the door."
"Yang Yang also had a similar free kick just now, but the quality of the free kick he made was not very high. I wonder if he will change someone this time? For example, Gerrard, or Harvey Alonso, they also played this season. Both of them have the experience of scoring direct free kicks, if someone else takes the penalty, maybe luck will be better."
...
After Yang Yang stood up, Gerrard and Harvey Alonso came over.
"It's still me to punish." Yang Yang said without hesitation.
Gerrard and Harvey Alonso looked at each other and nodded in unison.
From the beginning of the season to the present, they are very clear that the quality of Yang Yang's free kicks is obviously higher than theirs.
"Teach them a lesson!" Gerald encouraged.
Harvey Alonso patted Yang Yang on the shoulder, "Then I will cover for you."
The Spaniard just gave birth to a son named Jon, and then Yang Yang scored in the Champions League match against Inter Milan and gave the goal to his son.
Especially after Yang Yang scored the goal, he led the Liverpool players to line up and perform pacifier sucking movements, and celebrated for Xavi Alonso's son in front of fans all over the world. This moved the Spanish midfielder very much. .
Tonight was his first game back with the team and Xabi Alonso was doing well.
After the distribution was done, Gerrard, Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso clapped and walked away, while other Liverpool players also stepped forward to give them high-fives and encourage them.
Tottenham Hotspur's players set up a wall in the penalty area, and Yang Yang noticed Zokola.
In fact, he doesn't hate the Ivorians, because such fouls and petty moves are too common in professional leagues.
But Yang Yang still wanted to score in front of Zokola, let him take a good look at it, and let him know that his foul was meaningless at all, and he couldn't stop himself from scoring at all.
