Chapter 873: Facing a desperate situation
Maybe they all felt that their performance was pretty good. After the halftime break, neither Siktas nor Liverpool made adjustments to the midfield and continued the lineup of the first half.
In the ten minutes after the opening, Liverpool played very well. The impatience in the second half of the first half seemed to be left in the locker room. The rhythm was well controlled and the offense in the frontcourt was patient. Even if he lost the ball and was hit by Besiktas to counterattack, Liverpool players could use high-pressures to stop Besiktas from passing the ball out as soon as possible.
Although Liverpool only got a shot in the fifth minute, this opportunity was the result of careful cooperation. Liverpool's full-back Babel cooperated with Chen Yu on the left. Chen Yu attracted the defense and passed directly. Babel made a cross from the bottom. Chen Yu, who had just passed the ball, had returned to the middle of the penalty area. He fell to the ground and shot but was blocked by the defender and went out of the baseline.
The corner kick was taken, Chen Yu headed the ball back in the middle, and Mascherano followed and shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Two consecutive shots are very threatening, if you are lucky, you will get in.
Then Besiktas tightened his defense, and Liverpool was still not in a hurry, but patiently used the cross from the wing to make a fuss. In the tenth minute, Aurelio made a cross from the wing, and Kuyt headed the ball to Chen Yu. Chen Yu headed the ball to the dead corner in the chaos of the army, but the ball was blocked by the goal post.
The commentators on the scene praised Liverpool's performance in the past ten minutes.
Chinese commentator Duan Xuan believes that if this continues, even if Besiktas sets up an iron barrel formation, Liverpool will definitely have a chance to score. Now the score of another game in Group A is still 0:0. Even if Liverpool only gets a draw, they are still the first in the group.
The Turkish commentator on the scene believed that Liverpool is very patient and reasonable and the correct approach is to play. Besiktas is not weak at his home court. Only if Liverpool continues to play like this can they equalize or even overtake. He also said that Besiktas must hit the counterattack, and such a passive defense will definitely not be able to defend the game.
Sky Sports commentator Sones believed that Courtourus's sent-off had a great impact on Besiktas. He directly let Besiktas' counterattack down half a step. The defense was no longer under pressure, and Liverpool could attack with confidence. This was one of the reasons why Liverpool's offensive quality was very high in the second half.
However, in the 58th minute of the game, an accident hit the Liverpool man. Pennant made a cross from the wing, and the ball was pushed out by Besiktas's player. The captain Gerald in the middle followed and shot angrily, but the ball hit Chen Yu and bounced out, and it bounced out just in the diagonal line and landed at the feet of Besiktas' winger Oscan.
Facing the pie falling from the sky, Oscan was overjoyed and drove the ball along the way to Liverpool's half.
Besiktas played in a 433 formation today. Because Liverpool's offensive was very good, the three forwards were in their half. Delgado, who was standing in the center, even returned to the front of his penalty area. When Oscan unexpectedly got the ball to counterattack, Delgado and another winger Popo both ran to Liverpool's half at the fastest speed. However, because Delgado's retreat was too deep, his participation was just a symbol, and it was difficult to help his teammate Oscan. When he ran to Liverpool's penalty area, Liverpool's central defenders Hypia and Carragher, and midfielder Mascherano had arrived long ago.
But the other winger, Bobo, is different. He is only slower than Oscan, but he runs without the ball and is faster than Oscan, almost three or four meters slower than Hypia and Carragher. Because the counterattack distance is very long, it is almost fifty meters. At Bobo's speed, there is not much possibility of catching up with Carragher, and it is more than enough to chase Shanghai Pia.
Sure enough, when Oscan came to the Liverpool penalty area, Carragher still maintained the lead, but Hypia was tied by Popo.
There are three defensive players in Liverpool, two offensive players in Besiktas, Carragher is marking Oscan with the ball, Hypia is marking Bobo with the ball, and Midfielder Mascherano is waiting to make up for the defense in the middle. Although other offensive and defensive players are also running towards Liverpool's penalty area, it is already difficult to participate in the first wave of offense and defense.
Oscan and Carragher have faced each other several times, but they have not taken advantage of it. In the video, he has also studied Carragher. Although he has the opportunity to fight Carragher one now, Oscan is not confident enough. He did not dare to break through Carragher directly, but cut inward horizontally and find an opportunity to shoot.
Carragher followed him to cut inward, and Mascherano also moved toward this side. He felt that Oscan was young and wanted to double-team Oscan and destroy their first wave of offense. In this way, Liverpool's defensive players would almost come back. Once a positional battle was formed, Liverpool would not be afraid at all.
Seeing that Oscan didn't dare to fight Karag alone, the Turkish commentator at the scene sighed: "If Chen Yu was holding the ball now, he would probably break through and shoot into the penalty area. It depends on the role of the star at this time."
Although Oscan is only twenty years old, he has good ability to read games and is very smart. His eyes are not only focused on Carragher, the enemy. Yu Guang is also observing Mascherano who can threaten him. He is also silently calculating Mascherano's distance. Seeing that he might be double-teamed, he did not give Carragher the chance to grab it, and directly made a long pass to his teammate Bobo on the side.
This was a pass that was determined and decisive and well-known. After the ball was passed, even the Chinese commentator Duan Xuan was applauding: "The pass was good, this was a decisive pass, otherwise Besiktas' counterattack would be gone."
The ball flew accurately to the front of Brazilian winger Bobo. It was obvious that it was necessary to give Bobo a ahead of time so that Bobo could use his speed to force Haipiya.
Hypia is also an experienced old defender. He can see the threat of passing this time, which is to focus on his age and slowness. Hypia has made a mistake once, which has led to the team being behind passive and he can no longer make mistakes.
In order to prevent his fatal weakness from being beaten by his opponent, Hypia chose to grab the ball before Bobo took the ball, and made up his mind to foul as long as he couldn't get it, so that Bobo would never let the ball easily.
Hepia was thinking well, but he still underestimated Bobo's ability. Although Bobo was not selected for the Brazilian national team, that was because there were too many world-class forwards in Brazil. Bobo, like a striker who could play the main role in some small countries, could not even play as a substitute in Brazil. However, in terms of strength, Bobo was still good. When he saw Hepia pounced towards him, he immediately understood Haipia's intention. He did not stop directly when receiving the ball, but picked the ball in advance and quickly avoided Haipia and cut it into the inside.
Hypia thought that Bobo would use various methods to avoid him, and also thought of picking the ball, but the only thing he could not imagine was that he was so old that he could not even make a foul.
When Bobo picked the ball, due to inertia, Haipia's body was still rushing forward, and Bobo took an arc to avoid Haipia. Haipia wanted to reach out to grab Bobo but failed. When he turned around, Bobo had already struck him two or three meters away and entered the penalty area.
When Oscan passed the ball, Mascherano turned around and ran towards Bobo, but the ball was always faster than the person. Mascherano had just run over the top of the penalty area, and Bobo had already entered the penalty area from one side of the penalty area.
Reiner made a quick attack and blocked the angle of Bobo's shot.
Reiner must attack this ball. If he does not attack, Bobo will be a great threat to Reiner whether it is a close or a far corner. Only when the goalkeeper attacks can reduce the shooting angle of the player holding the ball. If he is lucky, he may even save the opponent's ball under his feet.
Renner is famous in the world football world and is famous for his quick reaction and can save single shots. Facing such a goalkeeper, the striker is under pressure.
However, Bobo grew up in Brazil's football environment, and he did not lack the spirituality of Brazilian players. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Rener, he feinted for a moment, then took a kick and pushed the ball through Rener's legs.
Bobo shot the ghost very much. The sway made Reiner think that he was going to break through. Reiner would definitely spread his legs and fall to the ground. It was really hard to defend by piercing the crotch at this time.
Reiner made various preparations, hitting the corner to the left, shooting to the far corner to the right, breaking through to the left and right, and rushing hard above the goal. But he didn't expect Bobo to penetrate the crotch. The idea of piercing the crotch flashed in his mind, but because the possibility was too small, he denied it. When he saw Bobo kicking a piercing ball, Reiner wanted to pull his legs and clamp the ball, so the ball passed between his legs and rolled into the net.
2:0
Referee Raulson made a circle in his finger and confirmed that this was a good ball.
Bobo was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He even forgot to take off his jersey and take off his jersey. He was like waving a flag and running towards the stands frantically.
At this moment, the Inani Stadium was even more crazy than the first goal. The shouting at the top of my lungs, the earth-shaking applause, the sound of stomping feet, and the waving scarves and team flags all over the sky, the air in the Inani Stadium seemed to be burning hot.
The other commentators were shouting enthusiastically, only the Chinese commentator Duan Xuan remained silent.
The Turkish commentator was even more crazy. He slapped the table and praised his players like a machine gun. "goalgoalgoalgoal...Bobobobobobobobobobobo! Long live! A great goal, a goal that determines the outcome! 2:0, Besiktas led two goals, basically locked in the victory! Besiktas has come back to life! Thanks to Popo! He is Besiktas' hero! You must know that he is facing Liverpool, the double champion of last season, Liverpool who has not lost in every field so far! They have the great Chen Yu and Gerald! Allah, is this you showing a miracle? We are going to win... we are going to win..."
Besiktas head coach Sagram on the sidelines shouted and rushed to the court, and a passionate skating came on the turf. Behind them, the assistant coach and the substitute players also rushed over, skating like skating, hugging their coaches and hugging them.
Bobo's goal was like a scoop on the head of the Liverpool man. The goalkeeper Reina on the field and Benitez on the sidelines both covered his face and squatted on the ground. The other players stared at the trembling net with their eyes blank, their minds were blank.
The Liverpool fans in the stands were singing the team song "You Never Walk Alone". After scoring the goal, the song came to an abrupt end, as if someone was choking her neck.
In the VIP box, Liverpool's boss Gillette was standing nervously while Bobo shot, and then collapsed in the seat after scoring the goal. He could never have imagined why Liverpool, who has not lost so far, had a capsized at the home court of the little Besiktas. Although there is still time now, the 0:2 score makes Gillette not think that Liverpool can still tie, let alone reverse.
After a long time, Liverpool's talent recovered. First, Benitez replaced Hypia with a dark face with Agel, and made two major mistakes in a row. Benitez could no longer tolerate him and didn't even give him any face. Then Liverpool fans, who sang the team song when they were almost desperate:
When you walk through a storm
Please raise your head
Don't be afraid of the darkness
At the end of the storm, there is a golden sky
The sweet singing of Bailing
Through the wind, through the rain,
Your dream may be shattered
But move forward with the hope in your heart
You will never walk alone
You will never walk alone...
Yes, the crazy celebration of the Besiktas continues. The sound they make is already noise-level and deafening, but the singing of Liverpool fans still reaches the ears of the players, or they see them in their eyes. This song is extremely familiar to every player. They are familiar with his melody and every word of his. Whether they win or fail, this song has always been with them, just like the Liverpool fans who have been with them.
Almost at the same time, Liverpool's team soul Gerrard regained his rationality, or mind. He walked over and pulled his teammates who were squatting on the ground with a dejected head, pulled them to his side, waved his fists and shouted: "Are you just two goals behind? What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten that in this city, we were three goals behind, but the last one was us, we won the fifth Champions League championship in Liverpool's history. At that time, our opponent was Milan, who is our opponent now? Besiktas! An unknown pawn, will we be afraid of them, don't forget, we still have Chen..."
As he said that, Gerald pulled Chen Yu, who seemed to have been thinking, "This is Chen, Chen Yu, who has to score a goal in every game! He has not scored a goal yet. Will he be blocked in this game? No! I don't believe it, I'm waiting for Chen to explode!"
