Chapter 429: Accidents Happen Frequently
Yes, Liu Hao hasn't made a penalty yet, and Arsenal is already cheering for victory. Even on Liverpool's side, there are people who are like ashes, and Liu Hao has never missed a beat.
Definitely not this time. About twenty-five meters away from the goal, in front of the big penalty area, such a good position, even if it is an ordinary player to punish, it is estimated that the probability of hitting the goal frame is also very large, not to mention Liu Hao!
Liu Hao himself thinks so, this ball is not nine out of ten, but 100% should be kicked in. So he didn't think much of it as usual, glanced at the goal, and started running, and when his arms were thrown behind him, the ball was already flying......
Liverpool's No.1 Brad? Jones, like any other great goalkeeper, flew towards the top right corner of the goal without even thinking about it. At this time, no matter which goalkeeper can only gamble, because Liu Hao's free kick must be a dead end, it depends on whether you can really save it. So he moved ahead to make the save. As long as you move early, it is still possible to seal one of the dead corners, and Jones chose the top right corner of the goal!
However, he reversed!
Although his fingertips touched the lintel, the ball was on the other side, taking the opposite route from it.
Damn it! Jones had only one thought at the time - it's over!
The stadium has been thunderous, which shows a qiē! That must have been cheers from the Arsenal fans...... Jones held his hands tightly on the post, stabilized his body, and fell to the ground in despair, not daring to look at the goal. His gambler-like pounce still failed to stop Liu Hao's goal after all.
But at that moment, the cheers stopped abruptly! The cheers just now are gone! It's eerily quiet.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the shouts of the Liverpool fans - "Diapers! Diapers! ”
"Didn't enter?" Giggs's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Liu Hao couldn't get the ball into the goal? It's incredible!
"Off? How can it be! Henry rubbed his eyes and pinched his face, equally unable to believe the result. There was no problem with the ball that Liu Hao throws out, and there is no problem with the angle. The soles of the feet did not slip, nor were they affected by off-field factors, how could they be off the goal?
That's a fraction of a second! The ball just grazed the post and everyone thought it was in, but when the ball ran into the stands instead of into the net, only the Liverpool fans were left laughing and cheering.
It turns out that Liu Hao can also miss a free kick under normal circumstances! He's not a god, he's a man!
Even Liu Hao himself can't understand it! The moment the ball went out, he was ready to raise his arms and shout. Celebrating his goal, his teammates didn't think about grabbing a shot at all, just waiting for Liu Hao to rush forward to hug Liu Hao after the penalty and celebrate the victory, but Ozil stopped halfway through...... The ball didn't go in at all!
Hey! The professor standing on the sidelines gasped, even he habitually thought that Liu Hao would definitely score this goal, alas......
Even a professional guy like him thinks so, and I don't know how many viewers in front of the TV scold their mother. Maybe there are still many people who are buying his game goals, but now Liu Hao is gone. Of course, most of the fans must have been scolded for having too high expectations and eventually losing their psychological balance.
The maker of the matter, Kolo? Toure. Shoved his right fist into his mouth half an inch again...... Although God forsaken him, he prayed to God from beginning to end, and he did not abandon God. And so it happened.
Thank God! He was so excited. As if he had scored a goal, he rushed to his own goal and hugged goalkeeper Jones directly: "The ball didn't go in!" The ball didn't go in! That's great! "Even though I'm over thirty years old. But his expression didn't look like a teenager.
The ball didn't go in. Liu Hao's eyelids jumped, he knew better than anyone that his feet should not make such a mistake. There was no problem with the shot, it was no different from before, but the ball didn't go in.
His face couldn't see anywhere, and his surging mood was more intense than anyone else's, which shouldn't have happened at all.
If he can't even kick a free-kick, he doesn't know what else he can do. That's the worst thing to do!
It was just an accident, maybe he didn't even notice a small detail, he could only comfort himself like this, he really wanted to shoot two more kicks now, to prove that his thinking was right.
It must be so! He comforted himself.
It was just an accident! Rogers was more persistent in believing in this event than he was. The goal rate of free kicks is already terrifyingly low, isn't it normal for Liu Hao to shoot in? It's rare that he can think outside the box and still stay calm.
"This ...... Was it an accident? Boulder walked over to the professor and whispered to him. He had never seen anything like it, except for not once he had been spoofed by Borussia Dortmund fans in the Champions League not long ago. If Liu Hao can't even kick a free kick, the ensuing changes will be terrible. Boulder was also a cautious man who magnified the impact many times and thought far ahead. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if Liu Hao really can't do it, then the game will be really difficult to play. Of course, he also had too high expectations of Liu Hao......
"Don't worry, it won't have any big impact for the time being, unless you see the second ......" After calming down, the professor is much calmer. Practice brings true knowledge, if Liu Hao can't kick the second kick in a row, then the real problem comes out. The professor looked up at the big screen, and at that moment he wished time had gone a little faster, even if the score was still 0-1.
"Maybe, he's not in shape today, maybe the slashing incident has affected his performance, who can play the game just after experiencing life and death? We demanded so much from him! Henry defended Liu Hao, who he attributed to the pressure of Liu Hao's failure to shoot the ball.
"It's very possible, and it's really time to give him a good rest. The professor is too exploitative, and Liu is still a patient...... "Giggs, when he had the brother-in-law incident, Ferguson let himself start, and he didn't see the pressure?" Maybe he has a thicker skin than anyone else, after all, he is called Wang Laoji......
Because Liu Hao didn't kick the ball in, Arsenal was still 0-1 behind in the score, and it was 27 minutes of the first half.
"It's okay, Liu, there's still a lot of opportunities." Ozil came up and comforted him. "If your hit rate doesn't drop, the United States will send agents to arrest you and go to Area 51 for research, and now you just escaped the disaster."
"Well, and me, I can score too." Giroud also came up to speak, "Pass me more penalties in a moment?" ”
"Ha, it makes me very sad, I just missed a free kick, you guys think too much!" Liu Hao spread his hands and said with a wry smile. Try to put on a normal appearance in front of his teammates, but in fact, his own heart is not calm at all. No one knows better than himself what it's like right now.
Try your hand at passing! If there is no problem with passing, then there should be no problem with free kicks?
However, he had a good idea and could have had a chance to pass the ball. Defending him was none other than Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard.
"Gerrard's defense of Liu, it stands to reason that it is a big use, Gerrard is the hub of offensive and defensive conversion, if he puts his mind on Liu. So who will organize the offensive? Coutinho? Giggs was slightly surprised, but then smiled again, "Maybe there is no more suitable person, Gerrard will always give big gifts without even noticing......"
At this moment. Giggs still didn't forget to tease Gerrard.
"Liu! Thank you! Gerald stood behind Liu Hao and suddenly popped out of this sentence. Of course, he wanted to thank Liu Hao for not scoring that goal just now, "But don't be delusional about taking me to the sidelines to drink water, I won't be like that." ”
came up and gambled on Liu Hao's way of trying to play tricks. Liu Hao played Bakaye in the Champions League, who doesn't know, if Gerrard still makes such a mistake, then Gerrard can retire directly.
"You're welcome. You're going to give me a big gift anyway, ahem! ”
Liu Hao took half a step forward, Gerald's body was so close that the dick was on his back. If you want to pass the ball, you have to catch the ball first, and if you want to receive the ball, you have to get rid of Gerrard. As Gerald said, Gerald won't let himself have such a chance again, so how can he entangle with Gerald? You can't just sit on the turf, right...... Haha, that seems like a good idea!
Of course, if the ball is on Liverpool's side, then this trick will not work, Gerrard will definitely join the attack, will he return to the defense, or will he be in place?
His thoughts are actually the same as Gerald's, Gerald to Colo? Toure beckoned, and quickly whispered a few words to Toure.
Could it be that this guy wants to let Toure take care of himself when he is attacking? I'm not going to let you get away with it, I'm going to run back, I don't believe Toure will run through the middle circle......
Is that so? Only practice will know.
Liverpool continue to dominate the attack, with Arsenal continuing to show weakness. In order to cooperate with Gerrard, Liu Hao deliberately pulled his position back a lot. He doesn't believe that Gerrard will give up the opportunity to participate in the attack, and Toure will really give up his role as a central defender to keep up, and he still has to be optimistic about Giroud!
When attacking, Gerrard really rushed forward boldly. But when he rushed halfway, he found that something was wrong, Liu Hao followed him and ran back, not far from him, and kept the position of three or four meters.
This...... He turned his head to look at Toure, who was standing near the center circle and didn't dare to go up!
This guy! Gerrard stopped, Toure didn't do it, he didn't dare to attack rashly, he could only approach Liu Hao helplessly, and it has been proved countless times that when Liu Hao counterattacks with the ball, he can't stay away from him! Arsenal have counter-attacking masters like Mesut Ozil and Sanchez around them!
Gerrard could only watch as his team-mates squandered another chance to attack, and Sterling's cross and Bashen's position were two parallel lines, with no intersection at all......
It seems that Rogers still has some problems with himself staying by Liu's side! One Coutinho is simply not enough to organise the attack.
This is not just the case, the second time, the third time is the same, every time Liverpool attacks, Liu Hao takes the initiative to cooperate with Gerrard to run forward, and then keep this certain distance from him, which makes Gerrard uncomfortable, and finally has to give up the opportunity to participate in the attack.
Finally, Gerrard got the ball once!
It's good to say that the ball is not at his feet, this time he finally took the ball himself, and he finally couldn't help but rush forward with the ball. also habitually glanced at Liu Hao.
This time, Liu Hao didn't follow! Stopped where it was. He follows Gerrard back when he doesn't have the ball, but he doesn't move when he has the ball? What the hell is he going to do? In the end, Gerrard still passed the ball with a sad face, and then obediently returned to Liu Hao's side. He has a very high tactical literacy, and he has not lost his mind......
Depressed! Why accept this task! Gerald didn't lose his mind, but he was in a bad mood, and this shouldn't be his job.
Without Steven Gerrard's play, Liverpool's attack was always missing something. Balotelli is much less of a threat up front!
Balotelli is an unusual guy. He managed to run so much actively, but except for the opening shot, he couldn't find a chance at other times? The two wingers, Raheem Sterling and Sturridge, couldn't have been more accurate in their passes?
If it were normal times, Balotelli would definitely get lazy and probably walk in the box, but Balotelli today is clearly not the same as usual. His teammate couldn't pass it well, right, he ran back to ask for the ball!
Rogers' eyes lit up! This kind of Ba God is what he wants! A diligent center, a center who will retreat, how can it not be Bashen, right? And he really saw it.
The front court is usually left to Coutinho to handle, and there is no one to compete with him for the place in the midfield. Philippe Coutinho is also used to dominating the ball in this region. Then he passed the ball with ease.
But he obviously didn't expect Balotelli to appear next to him this time!
Balotelli robbed him of the ball! To be precise, Balotelli received a pass from a Liverpool team-mate before he did!
Yes? Coutinho's face immediately changed.
What did he run back to toss in midfield?
After Balotelli got the ball, he didn't care about Coutinho's face, but rushed forward with the ball.
Obviously more than forty meters away from the goal, Balotelli actually got up and shot at the goal!
"He's so confident? Thought that staying at Liu's house for a few days would allow him to learn how to shoot from a distance? What a mess! Coutinho watched from afar as Bashen kicked the ball into the stands and couldn't help but mutter.
In all fairness, Balotelli's long-range shooting ability is not bad. But such a frizzy shot could open the door for Szczesny to open the door, unless Szczesny fell asleep in front of the goal.
The two wingers, Sturridge and Raheem Sterling, stood on one side of the pitch each. It was also a look of dissatisfaction.
Doesn't this guy just want to show himself in front of the professor and slap the professor in the face? But your footwork is outrageous, isn't it? Sturridge was very upset with the Italians, and if it was Suarez, he would have shut up. Because Suarez always uses goals to illustrate a qiē, this guy has not shown much strength since he joined in the middle of the season!
"Oops, Sturridge's displeasure is all written on his face. It is estimated that he thought that the ball just now should be passed to the right side for him, but the god didn't pass it, and shot directly! Sturridge must have been thinking. Even Suarez is not so alone here! ”
However, there was someone more red than Sturridge, and Sterling ran directly to Ba Shen and complained: "Mario! You should pass the ball! Then you go grab points! ”
"What? I'm going to grab a point? Where do you let me go to grab some points? On the goalline? Or go near the corner flag? Have you ever passed the ball to me? Ba Shen was already angry, but he didn't expect Sterling to hit the muzzle of his gun.
"How many feet did I pass? You can't get it yourself, don't blame people for not passing the ball! "Stirling is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and he puts all the blame on the god Ba. Ba Shen's words about the corner flag and goal line are naturally too exaggerated, although Sterling's pass is a little worse, but it is not as exaggerated as he said, and Ba Shen's exaggeration will naturally make him unhappy.
"Is that called passing? You Englishmen don't even know how to pass the ball! Ba Shen shook his hand, didn't bother to argue with him, and continued to run back.
"Shit!" Raheem Sterling spat on the turf, and Suarez can get it, you can't......
This scene was clearly captured by the camera, although it was impossible to hear what they were saying, but Giggs also guessed a thing or two, "Liverpool's forward line began to quarrel......
Rogers wiped his sweat, not expecting things to turn out like this. If the three problem teenagers make a collective attack, then the game is really impossible to play, he also looked up at the big screen, fortunately, the first half is almost over! Just a few more minutes for them! Blow them with a hair dryer in the locker room and they will be much more obedient......
What can he do, it's useless to call from the sidelines, no one listens to him.
He wanted the game to end immediately and then go back to the dressing room and be furious.
However, the game is not over, and it is still possible.
Gerrard's efforts once again got the ball at the back and he was ready to launch a final wave of attacks!
He took a few slow steps forward with the ball. Then I looked up at my teammates and saw that they were all in a bad position. Balotelli, Sterling and Sturridge seem to be still angry, Balotelli is not in front, Sterling and Sturridge are on the edge, but they do not rush forward. It made him unable to pass the ball at all.
Are you running? Gerald was angry, but helpless...... Is it so difficult to serve the post-90s? Looks like everyone isn't going to attack anymore? Even Coutinho pulled back to him.
Maybe Coutinho also saw it and didn't want to get involved.
There is only a little time left in the game, there is no need to attack anymore, it is better to control the ball and save it for the second half!
Slackness in the forward line. Let the players in the midfield also lose their temper.
Gerrard may be captain, but he will not be able to motivate his squad at the end of this time, after all, Liverpool are now in the lead.
One more thing is better than one less thing!
Gerrard still had the ball at his feet and the Arsenal man didn't press forward......
He stepped on the ball at the back and then turned around to kick it back to the goalkeeper.
If it was his previous moves, he might not have looked when he turned around, but now he is much smarter. Because passing the ball directly without looking at your teammates, there is always something unthinkable, such as the passing ball being intercepted, or tripping yourself up.
He won't do it again!
The only threat to Olivier Giroud has been withdrawn from the centre circle. All he has to do is pass the ball safely back to the goalkeeper, and then the goalkeeper controls the ball, and the time is about the same!
But Liu Hao didn't give up, he actually wanted Gerard to run over. Three meters away, Liu Hao appeared in front of him very strictly.
Even you want to steal my ball? Gerald's eyebrows raised, what a joke! Gerald made no secret of his contempt for Liu Hao. How could Liu Hao snatch the ball at his feet? At that moment, he was slightly stunned, he really wanted to play tricks on Liu Hao, but he didn't do it in the end, and decided to choose to return the pass! Many have criticized him for his habitual backhaul of increasing danger, but this time he felt he would be foolproof.
But at the moment when he was just stunned, Liu Hao suddenly sped up and stepped down bravely.
Yes, a fairly swift sliding shovel!
Tackle! Gerrard will definitely not eat this set again, the last time he competed with Arsenal in the FA Cup, Liu Hao intercepted his pass with a sliding tackle! Although the tackle this time was more sudden, almost unprepared, Gerrard still took the first step to kick the ball out steadily, and then jumped very easily, avoiding Liu Hao's sneak attack.
"Repeating the same trick? Come on, it's useless! Before Gerald fell, he was already laughing at Liu Haolai. Always drops the chain at critical moments, Gerald is already quite familiar with these defenses, how can he let Liu Hao succeed again! Seeing that Liu Hao did not succeed, Gerald felt extremely comfortable......
"I thought you would fight me alone, but you didn't dare! Return the stars, me! Liu Hao stood up and patted his buttocks, dropped the sentence, and then walked away.
"What? Just you? "Gerald can't cry or laugh, just this guy, and he wants to be alone with himself? Still so arrogant in front of yourself?
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew and the half-time ended.
"Liu, you stop!" Now that the game is over, Gerrard can do whatever he wants, and he yelled at Liu Hao's back at the first time.
"Huh?" Liu Hao turned around and saw a gloomy Gerald running over, "What?" Want to go head-to-head with me now? ”
"Take off your clothes." Gerald stared at him intently, looking very stern, and then looked around, "Hurry up, take off your clothes." ”
"There are so many people, why are you taking off your clothes? Hello that mouthful? ”
"Swap jerseys! If you don't exchange any more, the god will come in a while!" Gerard was finally in a hurry, and Ba Shen was getting closer and closer, and his speed was very fast...... (To be continued......)
