Chapter 46 Victory is the sweetest fruit

At this moment, Marginson and Brendan Rodgers are both standing on the sidelines, their faces almost identical - full of anxiety. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the game had come to the 70th minute, and for more than 20 minutes after the start of the second half, Liverpool bombarded the FC United penalty area indiscriminately, but there was no goal.

Moreover, FC United's players are in a state of euphoria, showing no signs of fitness decline at all, and they look to be able to defend for more than an hour.

Redknapp was also a little unhappy with the game like this, and he began to complain: "I think the game can be summed up in one sentence, Liverpool shoots, Liverpool continues to shoot, Liverpool is still shooting. They also seem to be getting impatient now, and they can't pass the ball with their feet before they start shooting. ”

Andy. Gray laughed, the game was indeed as Redknapp said, Liverpool's players were starting to get anxious, they were in a hurry to score.

Maybe it's the long draw with an amateur team that has dampened the pride of these pros. They found that their opponents were much more tenacious than they had imagined, and their pre-match relaxed mood was completely gone, and they didn't even know how to deal with it now, so they used more of their individual skills to use their individual abilities to crush their opponents.

But any Liverpool player will face at least two FC United defenders pressing, and since they are all shrunk around the penalty area, there is little space, so there is no need to worry about losing the other, and it is normal for two or three defenders to have at the same time in such a small place.

Sturridge picked up the ball on the perimeter and David Butch stepped forward to defend and, after cutting the ball two steps to his right, didn't continue to dribble the ball and fired a long-range shot from outside the box. He'd tried to shoot like this a few times, but he wasn't in good shape today, he didn't hit the goal once.

This kind of performance can be said to be the epitome of Liverpool's players in this period of time, they have rarely pursued passing and pulling the opponent, and every player will always get out of space after receiving the ball and then get up and shoot. Impatience creeps in among the Liverpool players.

Rodgers, who was on the sidelines, glanced at the time on the big screen, it was already seventy-two minutes..... he tilted his head and said to his assistant coach: "Let Luis warm up." ”

The camera quickly swept to this scene. Suarez got up from the bench to warm up.

"Oh, it looks like Coach Rodgers is unhappy with the team's performance, he's going to make a change! Now that Suarez has stepped out of the bench, who will he replace? "Andy. Gray saw this

"It's long overdue," said Gary. Neville criticized. "Liverpool's attack during this period was unorganised, too direct, and FC United were the least afraid to deal with this direct style of play."

For Gary. Neville's point of view, Redknapp and Andy. Gray nodded in agreement.

Adam. After Jones smashed Liverpool's pass into the box and removed the touchline, Liverpool took advantage of the dead-ball opportunity to make a substitution.

Suarez replaces ....... Carragher.

Remove a centre-back and replace it with a striker.

Rodgers' intentions are clear, he wants to continue to strengthen the attack!

After Suarez came up, Liverpool played a formation of 334 four strikers, and such a desperate formation rarely appears in the Premier League, because the gap left behind is too big.

But now Rodgers is not worried about this, FC United have no chance to counter-attack under the siege of Liverpool.

Suarez did cause big problems for FC United's defense after coming on, and the striker's frequency and rhythm at his feet were very strange, making it difficult for defenders to handle.

His first catch on the pitch was a lethal blow to FC United, and after receiving the ball on the flank, he easily shook off Lee Neville, who had to pull on the opponent's shirt after passing by.

He was given a free-kick and received a yellow card.

Li Qingshan returned to the penalty area to prepare for defense, this time the free kick is not very suitable for direct hitting, the opponent is likely to pass into the penalty area as before for the center to fight for the top.

Such a free-kick attack is the most hopeful for Li Qingshan, because with his accurate judgment of the trajectory of the football, he can always push the football out of the danger zone one step ahead.

This time, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he glanced at the periphery, where the opponent's new striker Suarez was roaming.

Will they just drive the football to the periphery? Suarez shoots so well?

Sure enough, this time they didn't drive to the front point, but passed directly to the periphery.

The change came as a bit of a surprise to FC United's players. In addition to Li Qingshan, who pounced quickly........ Suarez cushioned the ball on his chest and pulled out his legs and volleyed!

The FC United players were stunned and Suarez unmarked the shot that shot straight towards goal.

However, on this route, a player suddenly rushed out and blocked the football flying at high speed in the air. As a result, the ball was blocked off the touchline.

Suarez felt very good after the shot, which he thought was almost a must-have, but was stopped halfway through. There was a problem he didn't understand, before this free kick was taken, this big man was obviously in front of the goal, as if he knew the route of his shot, and he started it when he just got up.

Does he know the direction of his shot?

Suarez didn't figure it out.

Li Qingshan reminded his teammates: "They changed the strategy of free kicks, and everyone concentrated. The powerful shot hit him directly in the chest, and he was still rubbing it gently.

He actually hoped to get a chance to fight back, but the ball was too powerful and bounced straight off the sideline. He is not willing to keep a draw in this game, everyone is in good form in this game, he doesn't know if the whole team will be in such good form in the next game.

If you can, let's decide the winner in this game!

When you're fully engaged, you'll find that time tends to pass faster than usual.

The same is true of this game, when everyone remembers to take a look at the game time, they realize that it is almost eighty-six minutes.

And the score is still 1:1

Rodgers couldn't calm down at this time, and his team didn't go beyond the score for more than 80 minutes. And he's already throwing all the cards he can on the field, and now the result of this game is all up to the players on the field, and it's hard for him to intervene.

"It's tenacious....." Andy. Gray sighed. "The game is about to go into injury time, and with less than ten minutes left in the game, Liverpool laid siege to FC United for 40 minutes and still didn't score...... Whatever the final result, I think FC United have shown with their actions that they are definitely not a supporting player in this game. ”

'It's still 1-1 and we have less than 10 minutes to go, so if there is no change in those 10 minutes, there will be a replay next week and maybe FC United will have a chance to go to Anfield!' Zhang Jun is introducing the rules of the FA Cup to the audience.

"For FC United, who come from the seventh tier, to be able to drag Premier League giants Liverpool into a replay is quite a remarkable achievement!" Zhang Jun is a very professional football commentator, and of course he will not say anything like "I hope FC United win against Liverpool".

Because it was so difficult, the situation now is that FC United did not once pass the ball to the 30-metre area in front of Liverpool in the entire second half.

Most of the time, FC United's defence is a big foot that destroys Liverpool's attack and that's it.

But this time it was different, after blocking Suarez's shot, Li Qingshan had some new ideas, and his ability to judge the trajectory of football can be used just as effectively in defence, and maybe surprise opponents.

Sure enough, after Tang Ning took the ball to the side, he crossed it, and Li Qingshan pushed the football towards the center circle at the front point.

He had long been optimistic about this gap, and all the players of Liverpool were pressing, and there was not a single Liverpool player there.

After Li Qingshan landed, he threw off his long legs and chased after the ball, Li Qingshan's speed itself was not slow. Liverpool's players did not chase the ball immediately after it was cleared, after all, the previous FC United Manchester defense was a big foot out, and by the time they reacted, Li Qingshan was about to catch up with the football.

However, the Liverpool players also quickly caught up, and Li Qingshan was caught up by the returning Liverpool players after taking a few steps forward. After all, he is not a player who is known for his speed, and there is no way to use his speed to defeat Huanglong.

Left-back Robinson quickly stuck to him, but Li Qingshan relied on his physical advantage to protect the ball, Robinson was eager to snatch the ball back, and stretched out his foot to hook the ball, but hooked it on Li Qingshan's calf.

Li Qingshan fell to the ground.

"!!!!! Toot"

Fouled, FC United wins a well-placed free-kick.

"Free kick!" Andy. Gray raised his voice, "FC United got a free-kick attack in the final moments of the game, and it seems that the Chinese boy has a chance to show off his header ability!" ”

Dean Stott stood in front of the ball, and in the Liverpool penalty area, there were only three players from his own side.

In fact, his eyes have been staring at Li Qingshan's position, and in this case, what he believes most is Li Qingshan's header ability.

Liverpool's players are back to defend the set-piece, and no matter how big they are, they don't dare to underestimate the big man who has already scored a goal against them.

Li Qingshan was surrounded by three Liverpool players, and three defenders surrounded him in the middle.

Dean Stott takes a deep breath and runs to send the ball into the box.

Li Qingshan and three defenders jumped at the same time, and with the interference of the three players, Li Qingshan jumped high.

"Bang !!!!"

This is the sound of Li Qingshan colliding with three Liverpool players.

At the same time, it is also the sound of his top football!

No one jumped higher than him, and the power that erupted from his strong body was unstoppable! Even with three defenders hanging around, he still made a powerful lion head shake!

At the moment he landed, three Liverpool players were in charge of the defense: centre-back Coats, midfielder Lucas, and left-back Weston. It bounced off like it jumped up and hit a spring, and it fell to the ground.

And the football has flown into the goal under the desperate gaze of goalkeeper Jones.

Li Qingshan stood in place and raised his hands high, he had a strong confidence in this game - he won it!!

He closed his eyes, listened to the deafening cheers of the audience, and swallowed softly.

Victory is the sweetest fruit!
