502 Provocation
Yang Cheng has always been a very confident person, and he almost never doubts his self-confidence.
It's not that his self-confidence is blind, on the contrary, his self-confidence comes from his knowledge and familiarity with himself and his enemies, which allows him to always know what to do, and in any case, he will not mess up and will not lose confidence.
It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible that you've lost even your own confidence!
In training, before the game, Yang Cheng mentioned one thing countless times, that is, you can't attack blindly, you must be patient, especially against a team like Juventus with a very good defense, patience is very important.
But it was clear that the players were still so impatient that they fell into the trap of Juventus completely.
Yes, Juventus also fell into the trap of Liverpool, because it was a trap that both sides gave to each other at the same time, that is, the game was fast-paced, and Juventus' full-court pressing was very physically exhausting for them.
But so what?
Now Juventus have scored again!
With 2 goals down, is there still a chance of winning?
Yang Cheng did not lose confidence in the opening goal, because he knew that this kind of full-court pressing tactics, coupled with the fast rhythm, was a big test for Juventus's physical exertion, and in the second half, the situation would slowly turn around.
But conceding another goal is undoubtedly a big blow to Yang Cheng's tactics, a very, very painful blow.
"Do we still have a chance to win?" Yang Cheng raised his head, a little dazed, because he didn't know the answer, but he could feel it, his body was trembling, he hadn't eaten much all day today, his stomach was a little crampy, and he was gurgling.
At this moment, Cassano ran over from a distance, and saw the Italian rushing directly in front of Yang Cheng, pulling his big mouth left and right with both hands, and making a tongue-sticking motion at Yang Cheng, full of provocation.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Paul Beyer was the first to react, and he was about to rush forward.
But next to him, Juventus midfielder Tacinati ran over and blocked in front of Cassano, pulling the Italian back to the pitch.
"I said, I'm stronger than Ronaldo, I'm better than Ruud van Nistelrooy, you blind bastard, do you see clearly, I scored a goal!!" Cassano roared angrily at Yang Cheng.
"I must kill you today, stump you scum under my feet, you're finished, Yang Cheng!"
The guy was pulled by Tacinati, but he screamed desperately, and finally Piero ran over and slapped him in the mouth, but the guy was still whining.
Seeing that the manager he respected was provoked, Liverpool's players suddenly surrounded him one by one.
"Hey, bastard, are you looking for death?"
"How dare you offend our heads, I'll fucking kill you!"
"I slaughtered you bastard!"
The players surrounded them, and the Juventus players immediately surrounded them, and the two sides looked tense.
"The atmosphere is too hot, the players on both sides are under a lot of pressure, Cassano really shouldn't provoke Yang Cheng, you know, it will make him a public enemy of Liverpool!"
Sure enough, I saw that the Liverpool fans in the stands almost roared.
Their team fell behind on the field, and it was still 2 goals behind, and the on-site commentator determined that it was impossible to recover the 2 goals, which made them already hold their stomachs, and Cassano's move to provoke Yang Cheng undoubtedly became the fuse for them to vent.
The whole Atatuk stadium was completely boiling, and all the Liverpool fans were roaring and hating to drown the guy called Cassano with their own saliva, and they all wanted the player who provoked their manager to be punished.
Gonzalez ran over and showed Cassano a yellow card, temporarily quelling the dispute between the two sides, and the players from both sides slowly returned to their own half of the court, ready to continue the game.
The whole thing, from beginning to end, Yang Cheng just stood there and didn't move, as if it wasn't him who provoked Cassano.
Benitez, on the other hand, stood beside him all the time, looking at him with sympathy.
Judging from the pre-game layout tactics and targeted arrangements, Yang Cheng's tactics are not wrong, and the details are not wrong, but the problem is that after the start, Liverpool was a little inattentive, so Juventus took the initiative at the beginning and played a round of offensive. ,
This momentum advantage is very important for a team, and when Juventus took the initiative, Liverpool were beaten passively, so there was Piero's goal, which was a bit fortuitous, but it was a beautiful attack.
But if the first goal was just a sudden blow and would not be taken seriously, then the loss of control of the players next made people see Liverpool's biggest problem, lack of experience, greed, loss of balance and rhythm!
Without Gerrard, Juventus' defense pinched Carrick and Davies, and Murphy was unable to get into the game, resulting in Liverpool's midfield losing momentum and being completely suppressed.
Yang Cheng chose to adjust at this time and asked to stabilize first, which is correct, because Liverpool's attack has obviously been messed up, and only by stabilizing, adjusting, and then making substitutions can it be possible to turn the situation around.
It takes time to turn things around, you need a stable foundation, and it's absolutely impossible to turn the team around from a total passivity with one substitution, one adjustment.
So the second goal completely put Liverpool into hell, this should be a corner kick cooperation, belonging to the category of set-pieces, which is also an aspect that Yang Cheng asked and practiced a lot before the game, but now he still made a mistake.
As a head coach, Yang Cheng has done almost everything he can, if he made a mistake, then his biggest mistake is to trough the negative mentality of the player, he feels that his players can overcome it, but as a result, he lost the ball at the beginning, completely exposing this negative mentality.
If it had been Liverpool who had scored the first goal, then I believe the Reds would have played better.
From Benitez's point of view, if Liverpool really loses this game, Yang Cheng will only have to bear 25% of the responsibility at most, but it is clear that this Chinese likes to carry 100% responsibility.
Because he will always carry the word "live up to expectations" on his back, he will always hope that he can live up to the expectations of fans, management, players and other parties.
But when the game restarted, an attack by Liverpool caused the ball to be broken, Camoranesi quickly counterattacked on the right side, and after picking up the penalty area, Trezeguet scored with a right-footed push 5 meters in front of the goal, 0:3!
"Oh my God, three goals in a row, in less than 30 minutes, Liverpool are three goals behind!"
Even the on-site commentators were surprised and found it difficult to accept, because the team coached by Yang Cheng has never had such a collapse, even if it is lost, at best it is two goals, but now it is only half an hour, and it is already 3 goals behind, if you continue to play like this, what will it become?
"Juventus can already celebrate their victory in advance, knowing that in the history of the Champions League, and even in the history of the finals of some major tournaments in world football, there has never been a team that has been able to turn the opponent back from three goals down, and it is impossible to even pursue it!"
"We can even zoom in and see that there is very little precedent in the entire sporting world that can be reversed when it is so far behind, especially considering that Juventus has the best defensive ability in Europe, which almost condemns Liverpool to death!"
In the live broadcast in Italy, the Italian live commentator even shouted directly on the TV, "Let's congratulate Juventus, congratulate Capello, congratulate all the Zebra fans, you are so honored, you have made history 45 minutes early to win the Champions League!" ”
"Let's cheer and applaud Juventus' performance, let's get ready for the Champions League trophy to return to Italy, let's wait for the myth of Yang Cheng to be shattered, let us shout with pride, even the strongest team in history in the 1970s, Brazil, can no longer stop Juventus from winning the Champions League!"
"No one has been able to stop Juventus, no one has been able to stop Capello, no one has been able to stop Piero, no one!"
"Look at it, Yang Cheng has given up, he explained a few words to the players and assistants, and turned around and walked to the coach's seat!"
The TV camera gave Yang Cheng a big close-up, especially his back, unspeakably lonely and lonely.
"Yang Cheng, who claims to never sit in the coach's seat, is finally going to sit back, and he has already admitted defeat in advance!" "We have reason to believe that the happiest person now should be Moji, because he can finally clear the table and get back everything that was taken away by Yang Cheng before in this game." The live TV camera swept over the stands.
Contrary to the juventus fans' cheerful cheers and cheers, Liverpool fans are sad, many female fans are crying, many male fans are also holding the scarves in their hands, covering their faces tightly, tears seeping into the scarves, they are also crying, but they don't dare to be seen.
The Liverpool players stood on the pitch stunned, believing that at this moment, countless of them would be in their hearts, asking themselves, what the fuck am I playing?
Why are we being scored so many goals?
What the fuck am I afraid of? What are you afraid of?
No one knows, wiping the sweat beads on their faces one by one, their faces are dazed, their faces are at a loss, they don't know what they should do, they really don't know what to do.
0:3, they have never suffered such a painful defeat, they have never suffered such a rout!
What to do? What are we going to do?
…………
…………
In Liverpool, at Anfield Stadium, fans stood one by one, staring at the big screen in the stadium in a daze.
They were all wearing Liverpool shirts, but no one was shouting slogans like they usually did, just standing quietly, they didn't know what was going on.
Didn't you say you were going for revenge?
Why is it the way it is?
The Anfield stadium, which gathered more than 30,000 fans, was surprisingly silent, with only a few cries, ghostly floating around the stadium, and every now and then there would be a poignant cry, and then someone would look for it, who was making such a heartbreaking cry?
There are too many people to find!
The celebration of the Juventus players and the loneliness of the Liverpool players became extremely sad.
At Sutton's Bar, no one was drinking, no one was talking, everyone was covering their mouths and blinking vigorously, as if to prevent something from happening that they had always looked down upon.
Everyone is gritting their teeth, everyone is looking at the TV screen.
Yang Cheng turned his back to the huge electronic scoreboard at the Atatuk Stadium, and the two shocking numbers of 0:3 appeared on his left and right sides, making the Chinese figure incomparably sluggish.
He's going to lose!
Has he really accepted defeat already?
At that moment, the sound of beer bottles smashing against the wall startled the entire bar.
I saw Oriel standing there with gritted teeth, his eyes staring at the TV screen like a tiger wolf.
"Liar! Swindler!! Oriel shouted.
"He said ......," he pointed to Yang Cheng on the TV screen, "in the dictionary of the Liverpool spirit, these two words have never been abandoned!" He also said that he will definitely lead us to Liverpool back to the top of Europe! He even said that there was only Liverpool who was killed while standing, and there was absolutely no Liverpool that fell! ”
"But look, is this Liverpool? Is this still the same never-say-die Liverpool? ”
Reaching the Champions League final and meeting Juventus has made almost Liverpool fans all over the world excited, excited, because for 20 years, they have been thinking about such a game all the time, they have been thinking about it all the time, they want to dispel the ghost that has been haunting Liverpool's head for 20 years.
However, when the game is now, 30 minutes have passed, they are 3 goals behind, and they find that no matter how hard they try, no matter how hard they fight, they can't get rid of the fate of tragedy, they will roar, they will roar, they will go crazy!
"We won't lose!" I don't know who it was, but I stood up first, "We will definitely not lose!" ”
"Caesar said that we will not lose, we will win!"
"We can't give up, we can't just give up!"
"We're going to win, we're going to win!"
The fans shouted word by word, and in the end, I don't know who it was, and started the first sentence.
"When you go through a storm...... Please hold your head high...... Don't be afraid of the dark...... At the end of the storm was a golden sky and the sweet song of the larks...... Through the wind, through the rain...... Your dreams may be shattered...... But move forward with the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone......", and more and more people joined in the chorus, singing more and more high-pitched, and finally almost lifted the roof of Sutton's Bar.
Not far from the distance, the Anfield Stadium began to sing the team anthem, and the singing became louder and louder, connecting with the singing that could be heard from here at Sutton's Bar.
Gradually, in the bars on the streets and alleys of Liverpool, Liverpool's team songs became bigger and bigger, piercing through the windows and roofs of the bars, and passing through the streets and alleys.
Liverpool fans watching the game in every household seem to be able to hear this singing and seem to be able to resonate.
…………
…………
“…… But go forward with the hope in your heart, and you will never walk alone......"
At the Ataturk Stadium, more than 50,000 Liverpool fans, who accounted for the majority, sang their team's anthem, drowning out the cheers and cheers of Juventus fans with their singing, and completely swept the entire Ataturk Stadium.
The chorus of tens of thousands of people is magnificent, and the scene is spectacular.
"It can be seen that the Liverpool fans have not given up, they are still using their singing to inspire the team, because they have a hymn that no other football club in the world has, 'You will never walk alone', and no team has ever been able to be as united as Liverpool and love the club so sincerely."
"Disasters are terrible, but in the minds of the united Liverpudlians, the most terrible thing is not the disaster, the most terrible thing is that the team they love is no longer brave, no longer united, no longer as fearless as before."
"Obviously, they are using this song to remind all Liverpudlians that the game has only passed more than half an hour, and it is far from over, and it is not terrible to fall behind by many goals, it is not terrible to lose badly, and even if it is a shame to lose to Liverpool forever, it is not terrible!"
"The terrible thing is that if you give up like that, that's a shame, that's a shame for Liverpool football!"
Yang Cheng heard the singing, he stopped his movement towards the coach's box, grabbed the pillar of the roof of the coach's box, raised his head, and swept the stands of Atatuk Stadium.
It's black, it's full of people, and it's hard to see who is who.
The only thing that can be clearly told is that the whole stadium is singing the sacred song "You will never walk alone".
The players also heard the singing, and looked at the stands one by one, as if they could find their way through the singing.
Yes, disasters, failures, are not to be feared, what is terrible is that we are no longer fearless!
Carragher clapped his hands vigorously, "Calm me down, concentrate, don't mess around, brothers!" ”
"We haven't lost yet! The game isn't over yet, we haven't lost yet! Hyypia was screaming, too.
"Stabilize the situation, don't let them score again, absolutely never let them score again! Die until the end of the first half! ”
"Yes, until the end of the first half!"
At the end of the first half, the head ...... He must have a way, he must have a way to lead us to turn defeat into victory!
Right? Chief!
All the players turned their heads sideways, and they all saw that Yang Cheng didn't know when he returned to the side of the court, looking at them with a serious face, and was desperately waving his arms at them, shouting at them.
"Don't give up, don't give up!"
"Retract, freeze the midfield, don't press, don't worry, stabilize the defense first!"
"We have to stand firm first, believe me, you must believe in me, we can win, we will win!"
The camera of the TV set was aimed at Yang Cheng, and what everyone saw was a roaring man, a man who could already do anything for victory.
At this moment, no one, nothing, nothing can stop him from striving for a miraculous victory! 【Sailing small also provides】
