Chapter 747 Twenty-Two Seconds!
Wembley Stadium, London.
The two Premier League giants wearing blue and red jerseys set up their respective battles.
Chelsea's Drogba and Anelka stood in the center circle, ready to kick off.
Outside the middle circle, on Liverpool's side, Yang Yang watched the referee Howard Webber intently.
This is the number one international referee in England today, and he blows the whistle in almost all major competitions.
Webb held the silver whistle in his mouth, raised the watch on his wrist, and watched the time silently.
five four three two one……
When the whistle blew, Drogba quickly kicked the ball to Anelka, and the FA Cup final officially began.
There was a burst of warm cheers in the audience, and the fans of both teams began to compete in the stands, but Yang Yang couldn't care about all of this. At the moment when the whistle sounded, he rushed towards the fastest speed. Chelsea's half.
The ball was quickly passed to the back line, and as soon as Terry got the ball, Liverpool's striker was already pressing up.
The morale of the Red Army is like a rainbow now, and every player is playing with great enthusiasm in every game.
Terry passed it to Alex again. The Brazilian central defender sent the ball forward and wanted to pass it forward to find Drogba, but before the ball crossed the center line, Mascherano intercepted the ball halfway. down.
"This way!" Aurelio quickly plugged in along the left to receive.
The Brazilian left back stopped the ball forward, dribbled the ball forward, raised his left hand, and looked like he was about to cross, but suddenly his left foot passed the ball straight to the baseline.
Yang Yang quickly slanted from the front of the penalty area to the left side of the penalty area to catch the ball, stopped the ball, turned sideways, and faced the direction of the penalty area directly.
Ivanovic has returned to his position in time to defend Yang Yang.
In a fake move, Yang Yang tried to get rid of Ivanovic, but the Serbian defender was not easily shaken off. Yang Yang dunked the ball back, made a cross with the inside of his right foot, and passed the ball to the back of the penalty area.
Kuyt plugged in quickly, but Terry was stuck in a more precise position and hurriedly pushed the ball out.
The clearance ball is not far away, and it still falls on the left side of the goal in the penalty area.
Crouch got stuck, but Alex was behind him, not giving him any chance to catch the ball and turn around.
The English high man also kept the ball and headed the ball directly, pushing the ball out of the big penalty area.
Yang Yang, who was originally on the left, quickly rushed to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and his chest ferried Crouch's header to the front.
Cech was originally standing on the left side, he was watching out for Crouch's header, and when he saw Crouch's header out of the penalty area, he immediately realized that there was a problem with his position, and quickly. moving position.
But at this moment, the Czech goalkeeper only heard a bang, and saw that Yang Yang stopped the ball and volleyed directly.
The Czech was taken aback instinctively. This position on the left side of the front of the penalty area is Yang Yang’s best kicking area. He has a high hit rate when hitting the goal here, so this position has always been the key area for all defenders to defend Yang Yang.
But Ivanovic was a little behind Yang Yang in speed and couldn't stop it in time.
Cech instinctively judged the direction of the ball and flew towards it without thinking.
But still with lightning speed, before everyone could react, he crashed directly into the right side of Chelsea's goal.
...
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In less than a minute, oh, no, in less than 30 seconds, Liverpool's first attack of the game, the first shot of the game, immediately broke Chelsea's goal!"
"Yang Yang took a volley from the outside of the penalty area and played very beautifully!"
"God, it was an unstoppable shot, Yang Yang quickly interspersed and ran, created a gap in Chelsea's defense, and calmly seized the opportunity."
"One to zero!"
"Liverpool got off to a really good start, scoring Chelsea's goal in just 22 seconds!"
...
Yang Yang was so excited that he ran all the way, he rushed out of the stadium, skipped the billboards on the side of the field, rushed to the stand where the Liverpool fans were, stood up, opened his arms to the fullest, and shouted at the Liverpool fans in the stands. laugh.
The Liverpool fans sitting in the front row also rushed out one after another, all rushing to hug Yang Yang's legs, and everyone was shouting Yang Yang's name.
No one expected that in just 22 seconds in the opening, Yang Yang used a wonderful volley to open the scoring for Liverpool.
In the past period of time, Yang Yang basically didn't play much in the league, and he was more recharged. Now, everyone can see that he is still in a very good state.
Liverpool's players also rushed out of the pitch, surrounded Yang Yang behind him, and accepted the cheers of the Liverpool fans in the stands.
The police who maintained the order at the scene did not step up to stop it, because they knew that Liverpool fans would not hurt their players, otherwise it would only damage Liverpool's combat effectiveness in the end.
...
"Liverpool started off really well."
"We just got the data. This is the fastest goal in the history of the FA Cup final. It only took 22 seconds. Yang Yang's goal is bound to go down in the history of the FA Cup."
"And Liverpool are also in good spirits now and this goal has given them the edge in the game."
"But the Reds can't be careless, and Chelsea are not a fuel-efficient lamp."
…………
…………
Hiddink folded his arms around his chest and looked at the stadium solemnly.
He has just made adjustments after losing the ball. He still hopes that the players can remain calm, continue to defend well, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, instead of blindly launching attacks.
It was really accidental and unfortunate to concede the ball in the opening 22 seconds, but the opponent was Liverpool. Today's Red Army is really strong, and its state and morale have reached the peak. Chelsea can't match it.
It can be said that Chelsea will be defeated without a doubt.
So, your best bet is to defend well and wait for your opponent to make a mistake.
...
Benitez is also very aware of the opponent's intentions, but he does not intend to retreat only with a one-goal advantage.
The opening attack is the game strategy developed by Liverpool.
Use the trident of Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt to suppress Chelsea's defense, and use the midfield triangle of Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano to suppress Mikel and Lampard And Essien, and then formed a storm at the beginning.
It can be said that with Yang Yang's goal, Liverpool's start was very smooth.
It's unbelievable!
However, while going well, Liverpool did not lose their composure and composure.
…………
…………
After scoring, Liverpool continued to attack Chelsea without any intention of leaving the opponent with a chance to breathe.
From the fifth to the eighth minute, Liverpool won three consecutive corner kick opportunities, but unfortunately, the Red Army's grasp of corner kick tactics is not as good as Chelsea's, and it just failed to create a threat.
This is also a major weakness of Liverpool. In the face of tall Chelsea, it is indeed difficult for the Reds to take advantage of set-pieces. This is why Hiddink dared to let Liverpool take a corner kick.
Then the game was relatively dull, but in the thirteenth minute, Crouch pulled to the left side of the penalty area to respond to Yang Yang's pass, and returned to Gerrard. The Liverpool captain took a long shot and almost missed the goal.
The whole Wembley Stadium exclaimed and sighed.
But a few minutes later, after Kuyt made a tackle on Ashley Cole up front, the Chelsea left-back fouled in the counter-attack, referee Webber unquestionably blew the silver whistle and gave Liverpool a Opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt.
Due to the relatively long distance, it is not suitable to kick the goal directly. After discussing with Yang Yang and others, Gerrard went to the penalty spot.
The free kick in the frontcourt, Chelsea has suffered a loss on this, the position and angle are very similar, so the Blues did not dare to be careless, and almost all players were returned, leaving only Anelka in the penalty area. Cruising around, ready to fight back.
Three Liverpool players rushed forward at the same time when Gerrard took a quick set-piece.
Yang Yang was near the penalty spot, Crouch was behind him, and Skrtel was behind.
The three put pressure on at the same time, and Chelsea's defense made a omission. Yang Yang took the lead and jumped high near the penalty spot, ahead of everyone. Without anyone interfering, he headed the ball to the ground and rebounded. ball.
Chelsea's defenders didn't have time to react, but Cech reacted quickly and flew to the left.
But the ball hit the ground, bounced high, passed Cech's hand and crashed into the goal behind him.
Two to zero!
"The ball is in again!!!!"
"Liverpool scores again!"
"It's still Yang Yang! A brace!"
"This goal completely plunged Chelsea into the abyss of despair."
"Let's take a look at this goal, Liverpool's free-kick cooperation obviously surprised Chelsea a little, because Gerrard passed directly to the front point, and the landing point was near the penalty spot, which was obviously beyond the expectations of the Chelsea defenders. outside."
"Look at Yang Yang again. He jumped really high. The Chelsea defenders around him obviously didn't have time to jump and watched him headed home."
"Yang Yang's header was very clever and had a long distance, so he deliberately hit a bounced ball, but Cech flew over, but he threw himself in the air and failed to stop the goal."
"Two to zero! Liverpool scored two goals in just 21 minutes."
"The situation is very bad for Chelsea, and Liverpool seem to have the FA Cup in their arms."
"Yang Yang also looked very excited. He was the first to rush to his teammate Gerrard to celebrate. His state of the game was also very well adjusted. Chelsea's defenders couldn't stop him at all."
...
And when Gerrard was celebrating with Yang Yang on his back, all the Liverpool fans were shouting for Yang Yang.
At this moment, they all had the urge to worship Yang Yang.
He is the core fighting force of the Liverpool team and the most valuable asset of the team!
At the same time, he is also Anfield, the hero of the whole city of Liverpool!
