505 penalties

'It's really surprising that after the second half, Liverpool didn't look like they were down by three goals at all, not just the players, but their fans, who all got up from their seats and cheered on the Liverpool players in the stadium with their singing.

The entire Atatuk Stadium was black and full of people.

There was also the Anfield stadium, where all the Liverpool fans stood up to the live TV broadcast, and some even followed Gerrard's example, holding up their scarves and singing the team anthem.

They see hope, and they are willing to go crazy for it!

"Drogba's header came very suddenly, and at the same time brought a glimmer of hope to Liverpool, 2 goals behind, with Liverpool's offensive ability, it is not impossible to catch up, you know, they have the top attacking artillery group in Europe, it really makes Liverpool crazy, it is very dangerous."

In the first half, Liverpool did not show their grand, mainly being pressed by Juventus, and the midfield was disrupted.

But in the second half, Yang Cheng used Davies and Murphy to pinch Juventus's two wings, Carrick's position is very flexible, up and down freely, and Essien next to him protects him very well, he can take the ball more calmly according to his own wishes, because he knows that even if he loses the ball, Essien behind him will help him get the ball back.

The front trident frequently attacked Juventus' defense, and the Bianconeri suddenly became very passive on the field.

Camoranesi dribbled the ball, Davies made a vicious tackle and cut the ball off, Camoranesi fell to the ground, but referee Gonzalez signaled that it was a reasonable break, no foul, and the game continued, and Liverpool played another counter-attacking ......"

"Little Ronaldo crossed diagonally into the box from outside the box, Robben cut in the back row, Cannavaro was pulled out of position by Drogba, dangerous, Robben shot...... Oops, Abbiati made a very good save to save Robben's shot off the line, corner! ”

"Taking advantage of Juventus's unstable foothold after the opening, Liverpool played a wave of attacks frantically, Juventus was losing one after another, especially their backline, which was firmly suppressed by Liverpool, and now it has given Liverpool a corner, let's see how Liverpool will punish this corner."

With the analysis of the on-site commentator, I saw that Robben had run to the corner kick area on the right, and after receiving the ball, he stepped on the turf near the corner flagpole, and then put the ball on it with great care, and the person slowly retreated.

Robben stared at the penalty area, and almost all the tall men in the team came, Hyypia, Carragher, Drogba, and Little Ronaldo...... One by one, they rushed into the Juventus penalty area.

Robben raised his right index finger high, looked at Hyypia in the distance, and licked his dry lips with his tongue, as if inadvertently, while Hyypia opened his arms and stopped Cannavaro behind him.

With his hands clasped together in front of his mouth, Robben took a deep breath and slowly rushed towards the ball.

In the penalty area, when Robben moved, Liverpool's high points suddenly moved, among which Hyypia was tightly stuck in the front point, and Robben's corner kick came quickly, it was a half-high ball, Hyypia rubbed in the front point, and the ball immediately fell to the back point.

Juventus's penalty area was in chaos, Carragher met Hyypia's ferry, jumped high with Thuram, and wanted to fight Thuram for the header, but Thuram was in a better position and pushed the ball directly out of the box.

The ball slowly flew out of the penalty area, and most of the people gathered in the box, and Davis stopped the ball directly.

The Juventus defender immediately saved in the box, and Tacinati pressed directly at Davies, but the Dutchman suddenly took a few diagonal steps to the left, suddenly got up and curled a long-range shot with his left foot.

The ball flew out from Davis's feet, slid through a trajectory in mid-air, and over the heads of everyone in the box, Abbiati had just stood a little well in order to prevent Carragher's header, and reacted at this time and immediately flew to save.

But this shot almost grazed the crossbar and drilled into the goal. …,

Edgar Davis...... A great shot of the world wave long shot! There was a deafening shout from the commentator at the scene, and he was too surprised by the shot, because he never imagined that Davis would suddenly get up and down when he was so far away and there were people in the box.

What's even more unbelievable is that this kick also has a clear falling arc.

"A great goal! A great goal! The on-site commentators were so excited that Edgar Davies' long-range shot from outside the box from the Dutchman was nothing Abbiati could do about it! ”

When Davis scored, Yang Cheng clenched his fists and roared excitedly, and he didn't expect that after the adjustment in the second half, the situation was immediately reversed.

From 0:3 to 2:3, Liverpool has seen hope, one could even say, big, big hope!

Davis rushed out of the stadium excitedly, crossed the advertising board on the sidelines, and stopped directly under the main table, holding his head high, and looked proudly above the main table, he knew that Moggie was on it.

"Is Davis scoring with this shot to show Moggie his might?"

"When he was blocked by Moggi and Lippi at Juventus, it was Yang Cheng who brought him to Liverpool and gave him a new life, in the past two years, Davies has always maintained a stable form, although this season due to the increase in injuries, the performance has declined a little, but in this final, with a shot, once again proved his worth."

"Will Moggie regret it now? Will he regret his decision to let Davis go? ”

The live TV camera gave Moggie, and the Italian's already gloomy face looked even colder, making people shudder, especially with his eyes.

If he could, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Davis!

But unfortunately, Davies is no longer a Juventus player, and he is scoring with his own kick to get revenge on Moggi for why he blocked himself on the bench in the first place.

"Didn't you say you were going to ban me until I retired? Now, I'm going to destroy your Champions League with my own hands! ”

Davis's eyes radiated with vengeful rage, as if he were telling Moggie that your time of death is coming!

There were more and more Liverpool players around, one by one sandwiching Davies in the middle, and the Dutchman and his team-mates had a hasty celebration, he had never liked this kind of post-goal celebration, not to mention that the team was still behind.

But at this moment, the eyes of all Liverpool players have projected a sense of confidence.

Looking at the sidelines, Yang Cheng was waving at them, signaling them to keep up the good work.

"We're going to score one more goal, no, two, three, four!!"

All the Liverpool players are playing with such a self-confidence in their hearts, there is no reason, there is no need for any reason, in short, they are confident, they just believe that they can do it.

…………

…………

The Liverpool fans in the stands were crazy, they were really happy.

If Liverpool's sluggish performance in the first half made them feel like they were living in hell, then after the start of the second half, Liverpool scored two goals in 10 minutes, completely beating Juventus back to its original shape, and then in the following period, they firmly dominated the situation, making them feel as if they were living in the clouds.

Capello must be regretting, he regrets why he is so stupid, why when he is leading 3-0 in midfield, he refuses to be as usual, even if he is a little more conservative, even if he makes the player shrink a little, then Liverpool will not score two goals in a row.

It's a very, very scary thing to get two goals back, because only one goal difference is not enough for the Liverpudlians to be satisfied, they want to equalize, they want to reverse!

The scariest thing on the football field is that after you cut off someone else's ball, you turn around and be cut off by someone else, which is a very demoralizing thing; Similarly, in the course of the game, the most demoralizing thing is when you feel that you are ahead by a large score, but suddenly the opponent scores consecutive goals. …,

Every time the opponent scores an extra goal, the blow to their own morale adds another point.

Capello even thought that if Liverpool scored one more goal, Juventus would probably be completely finished.

"Liverpool must be stopped!" Gabiati on the side reminded.

Capello knows in his heart that now that Liverpool is playing smoothly and the momentum is out, Juventus will only suffer if it insists on touching the other party, and the best way is to wear off the opponent's momentum first.

"Manuel, go warm up!" After receiving Capello's instructions, Corradini immediately ran to the bench and shouted loudly.

Blasi is a signing finalized by Capello himself, with the aim of strengthening Juventus' midfield, and he, along with Tacinati and Appia, are the three major spoilers in Juventus' midfield, and their task is to break up the opponent's attack and organization.

Three minutes later, Juventus replaced Trezeguet with Blasi, and the French striker was average throughout the game, while Ibrahimovic was also warming up, and it seemed that Capello was ready to bring him on whenever he wanted.

The Swedish striker is tall, agile at his feet, great physically, and he has that kind of magic at all times, and Van der Vaart, known as Ajax's god duo, specializes in those tricky balls.

After switching to Blasi, Juventus began to shrink their defense.

In the end, Juventus, Capello's team, when they stabilized the situation, Liverpool's attack was immediately contained, and there was no way to do it, because they would set up a tight defense in their own half, a bit like a high-pressure minefield for Chelsea.

The difference is that Chelsea rely on the running and defensive ability of the players, but Juventus rely on tight physicism and complementing each other, and to a certain extent, the Bianconeri are more difficult to defend against.

It was as if this time, Robben had the ball on the right and he could get past Panucci, but midfielder Appia immediately dropped back to fill the gap that Panucci had opened up after the breakaway, causing Robben's cross to be sideways blocked off the touchline.

The throw-in kick was quickly broken by Juventus, and Liverpool's attack could not work.

There's only so much any attacking team can do against this kind of reinforced concrete defensive structure, especially when one of them is determined to defend.

…………

Ferguson sat in the stands in the reserved area, which was specially given to him by Yang Cheng, and in return, Ferguson promised to invite him to dinner, right at his home in Cheshire, but presumably until next season.

Originally, in Ferguson's experience, he was usually picky about the game, but in this game he was involved in the game from the first minute, because the two sides were engaged in a duel to the death almost from the first minute.

Yang Cheng laid a trap for Juventus, he wanted to speed up the pace, and it was indeed faster; Fabio Capello also set a trap for Liverpool, attacking from the start, successfully confusing Liverpool's players, creating a psychological hint that I scored and if you don't attack, I will score more.

This is a terrible hint, because the players are in the game, the tempo is too fast, and they are lost all of a sudden, so Liverpool in the first half is really stunned, if they have heard Yang Cheng shouting from the sidelines, if they are more experienced and more intelligent in handling the game situation, then after conceding the first goal, they should stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

But these players didn't, and they fell into the trap of Juventus, which led to three goals.

But at halftime, Yang Cheng decisively established the tone of the second half, attacking, so Finnan, who had relatively mediocre offensive ability, was replaced by him and pulled Davis to the side, the Dutchman's offensive ability was not weak at all, and he also scored the second goal.

However, Capello's sensible substitutions, coupled with the more experienced Juventus players, quickly stabilized the situation.

"It's getting worse for Liverpool!" Ferguson sighed.

"Can't you win?" Sitting next to him was his wife, Kathy, who often heard her husband talk about the young man at home. …,

Sometimes scolded, sometimes praised, but it was rare to see him calmly discuss this Chinese man named Yang Cheng, so she also wanted to take a look at what was so special about this Chinese person.

"Difficult!" Ferguson replied lightly, he didn't dare to say that it was impossible!

He is very familiar with the Liverpool team, he knows the will and tenacity of the Liverpool people, and although he often makes fun of Liverpool as a team that lives in the past, in fact, he really wants Liverpool to forget their past.

There is no past, no tradition, no spirit, it is like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the flow!

At that point, Liverpool will no longer be Liverpool and will not be terrible.

However, the arrival of Yang Cheng has given this team a new life, allowing them to add more to keep pace with the times on the basis of the tradition and spirit of the original team, from the team's technical and tactical play to the overall mental outlook, to the youth training system, scouting system, etc., all of which have been completely changed.

But what supports this team is the high fighting spirit of never giving up!

What else is impossible in front of such a team?

"But if Liverpool score another goal, it's dangerous!" Ferguson said worriedly.

"Scored?" Casey thought it was funny, "How is this possible?" ”

You know, today's Liverpool is controlling a huge advantage, Juventus is forced to shrink the defense, everyone is worried about Liverpool's attack, how can it be the other way around, Liverpool is scored again?

Ferguson smiled, his wife doesn't understand the ball, so she doesn't know, but he knows the ball, he knows.

In front of the back three, Cassano and Camoranesi are moving forward from time to time, Liverpool's back three is actually a big problem, especially on the wing, and Juventus has a foxy Piero in the front.

He is not tall, his physical fitness is not good, and his header is also average, but the most commendable thing is that his foot skills are very good, the awareness of grabbing points in front of the goal and the sense of running are excellent, and the ability to pass and assist is also strong, once this kind of player has the opportunity to get the ball, it is very dangerous.

He was sitting in the stands and a bystander, so he saw that Yang Cheng was in the middle of the ball game, and he was so nervous, could he see it?

Just when Ferguson was a little worried about Yang Cheng, Juventus really played a counterattack.

…………

…………

Camoranesi moved forward quickly with the ball on the wing, Piero in the middle of Juventus also followed, and Cassano on the left, although Cassano was a little tired of Murphy's interference, but he still followed quickly.

The three arrows launched a wave of counter-attacks, but Liverpool's defense also retreated quickly, with Hyypia and Carragher chasing after him, with Carragher already in front of Piero.

As Yang Cheng said, Juventus's counter-attack speed was not too fast.

Reese went straight to Camoranesi, but Camoranesi struck the ball across the edge of the box and the ball slid in front of Reese and into the middle of Carragher and Piero.

Carragher faced the ball, he saw that Piero had caught up, as soon as he got the ball, it was very likely that he would shoot directly at the top of the penalty area, his right foot curled the ball, it was nine out of ten, and the first goal of the game was Piero's shot.

Can't let him get up and shoot from a distance!

Carragher gritted his teeth and slashed directly into the diagonal stab when Piero was about to catch the ball, and he was about to break the ball.

But Piero's feet are very skillful, he took a step forward, grabbed the ball before Carragher, and then buckled, shook past Carragher, and the whole person was about to take advantage of the situation into the penalty area.

Carragher was startled, this entry into the penalty area is a single knife, so he was in a hurry, without hesitation, immediately made a shovel action, his foot is very clean, is directly to the ball, and it is indeed the first to touch the ball, but because Piero is in action, after the ball is broken, it naturally touched Carragher's foot, the whole person fell headlong, and the body fell from the top of the arc of the penalty area into the penalty area.

Referee Gonzalez was also quickly following Juventus' attack to Liverpool's penalty area, he didn't know if he had seen the scene clearly, he blew the whistle in his mouth, and then saw him chase him from behind, pointing directly to the penalty spot, and at the same time showed a yellow card to Carragher.

"Penalty ?!!!!" The on-site commentator couldn't help but exclaim.

This is undoubtedly a penalty that has completely sent Liverpool into the abyss of despair! )
