Chapter 736 The birth of a new record of winning streak (Part 2)

After Liverpool scored the first goal this season, most of them expanded the score and secured the victory. Now they were unexpectedly equalized by Newcastle United. Liverpool's players were a little impatient, and then they launched a more fierce attack, hoping to overtake the score again in the first half.

Bellamy, who returned to St. James Park Stadium, was very active, even more active than Chen Yu who scored 13 consecutive goals. Rodel set a heavy hand in defense, and Bellamy could even get a continuous chance to shoot.

Less than a minute after Newcastle United's goal, Gerald passed a long pass, Bellamy moved horizontally from the left, stopped the ball in his chest and shot hard at 25 yards, but the angle was a bit straight and the ball was saved by Harper.

Three minutes later, Chen Yu broke through from the right and made a cross. Crouch in the middle did not grab the landing point. Bellamy threw away Brambo at the back point and shot low from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area. However, goalkeeper Harper confiscated the ball again.

In the 34th minute, Bellamy missed the opportunity again. Liverpool midfielder Sissoko made a straight pass. Bellamy actually swam from the wing to the 12-yard shot from the middle of the penalty area. However, his luck was a bit bad. This shot that was bound to make a goal hit the crossbar and bounced out and was taken by goalkeeper Harper.

However, Bellamy's performance was already amazing. The live commentator of Newcastle United couldn't help but exclaim: "The magical bad boy is not inferior to his courage. He has now stolen Chen's limelight and has become the best player in Liverpool. In his autobiography, Sir Robson said that Bellamy is full of talent like a little boy in a nightmare, with a bad temper and ambitiousness. He always wants to get the best and win, but Chen seems to be invisible today, which is also surprising. In the previous thirteen rounds, he was basically the protagonist."

Chen Yu's performance on the court today was indeed a little silent. In addition to the heavy rain and the tight control of his opponents, Chen Yu also had a lot of worries today. Tomorrow, Zhang Shubin, Zhao Muyu, and Zhang Youzhen will all return to China to celebrate the Spring Festival, but he cannot leave and can only fight alone in a foreign country, which makes Chen Yu's mood inevitably feel a little depressed.

However, seeing that the first half was about to pass, the team still couldn't lead, Chen Yu was also a little anxious. He wiped the rain from his face and began to attack Newcastle United's defense line.

Previously, Bellamy's madness alone made Newcastle United unable to stand it. Now Chen Yu has also started to perform wildly. Liverpool's wings take off, and Newcastle's penalty area immediately becomes a bombing area. Chen Yu and Bellamy kept passing the ball from the bottom line and one side, and Crouch and Liverpool's midfielders kept grabbing shots and bombarding Newcastle United's goal.

At this time, Newcastle United's substitute goalkeeper Harper became the busiest person. In the 40th minute, he saved Crouch's header, in the 41st minute, he attacked and intercepted Gerald's lob. In the 42nd minute, Pennant's shot from 15 yards on the left side of the penalty area was also saved by Harper. In the 44th minute, Newcastle United failed to counterattack, Liverpool passed a long pass into the penalty area, Crouch headed the ball, and Chen Yu's volleyball shot was hit by Harper again.

This is not all. In the injury stoppage time, Chen Yu, who had been passing the ball continuously, suddenly cut in and shot. He unexpectedly shot the back corner of the goal at a small angle, but goalkeeper Harper was already crazy at this time. Such a tricky shot was also hit by him with one hand and hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Chen Yu was already planning to celebrate. When he saw the ball popping out of the bottom line, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Gerald's corner kick was taken, but it was a little close to the goal, and was hit by goalkeeper Harper again with two punches.

This was Liverpool's last attack in the first half, and then the referee Halsey blew the whistle to the end of the game.

With his magical performance in the last few minutes, Harper became the best player in the first half. When he returned to the locker room, he was standing ovation from Newcastle United fans. However, Newcastle United's main goalkeeper Ji Wen, who was sitting in the stands due to injuries, was a little restless. He was worried that after his injury was healed, the main position would be gone.

After the halftime break, both Liverpool and Newcastle United began to substitution. Liverpool replaced Crouch, who had no strength and replaced Kuyt, hoping that the Dutch could use his body to grasp the team's countless crosses. Newcastle United wanted to suppress Liverpool's cross from the wing. He replaced Dale with former Chelsea player Duff to deter Chen Yu, who was gradually active on his left side.

Newcastle United coach Rodel's substitution is more targeted. Duff's tireless running was once a landscape in the hearts of Chelsea fans. Compared with the exquisite Solano, Duff's practical breakthrough and impact have higher lethality. In addition, with Duff's high-speed counterattack ability, Chen Yu had to restrain himself, otherwise, if Duff really made a counterattack, Chen Yu might not be able to return to defense.

After a crazy performance in the first half, Bellamy, who was very emotional, also fell into a low point. His breakthrough on the wing was repeatedly blocked, and Liverpool's two wings also dropped to the lowest point since the start of the game. Newcastle players performed more actively with the cheering of home fans and gradually controlled the game.

In the 69th minute of the game, Newcastle defender Steven Taylor and midfielder Bart played a pass and cut and broke into the right side of the penalty area. This position is not a good shooting position, but after Liverpool, Liser lost the position, he foolishly stretched his foot to trip Taylor, and Taylor fell into the penalty area.

"Ah! Penalty!"

"Foof! Penalty!"

The stands at St James Park were in an instant and the magpies fans jumped up excitedly to ask for a penalty kick.

The referee Halsey could see clearly. He blew the whistle, gave Liser a yellow card, and pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

Seeing Liser's brainless foul, Benitez was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. In Taylor's position, the shooting angle was not big. If he passed the ball, Liser's central defender was there. Liser, the full-back, was so anxious. Such defensive action was almost the same as an undercover agent. If he lost the ball at this time, Liverpool would need to score at least two more goals to win. Today, Chen Yu's condition was obviously not good. It was very difficult to score two goals in the next 20 minutes. The more Benitez thought about it, he became more angry. He asked Brazilian defender Aurerio to play and replace Liser and let him calm down.

Newcastle United took the penalty kick. The Peruvian was very steady. He pushed the shot into the lower left corner and changed the score to 2:1. Newcastle United overtook the score in 70 minutes.

After conceding the ball, Liverpool players finally realized that the situation was not good. This is not only a problem with a winning streak record. If they lose this game, they will be 9 points left by Manchester United. The current 9 points are no longer the same concept as the previous 9 points. There are 11 rounds left in the league. If Manchester United opens the 9 points gap, the championship will basically be out of the way.

Benitez stood in the rain, completely disregarding his expensive suit, he shouted at the stadium, making the players nervous and playing more aggressively, and let Chen Yu and Kuyt switch positions. Kuyt went to the side and let Chen Yu go to the middle to grab the spot.

Liverpool launched a large-scale counterattack, but Newcastle United was not conservative. He shrank a little in the formation, but he invested a lot of troops when counterattacking, and was always ready to expand the score and secure the victory.

In the 78th minute of the game, Chen Yu got a good opportunity. Aurelio made an imaginative pass. Chen Yu drifted past Bart in the penalty area and shot before goalkeeper Harper, but the close shot was hit by the post and missed out of the empty goal.

Seeing such an opportunity, Chen Yu couldn't score a goal, so he couldn't help but sigh to the sky that he had no luck in scoring today.

After eighty minutes of the game, Liverpool still failed to score the second goal. Chen Yu, who scored in 13 rounds in the previous 13 games, was also silent in the heavy rain. He could not find the feeling of shooting under the tight control of Newcastle United defender.

Liverpool had already formed a dependence on Chen Yu before, and now Chen Yu has never been able to score goals. Stars such as Gerald and Kuyt finally realized that relying on Chen Yu's goals alone is not good, and they also began to frequently attack Newcastle United's goal.

At this time, it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the game. The excited magpies fans stood up to watch the game, inspiring their players with their singing, and allowing them to persevere until the end.

However, at the critical moment, Liverpool captain Gerrard finally stood up. He received a pass from left-back Aurelio who came on the bench and shot angrily. The ball flew into the net against the turf. Harper, who had previously performed bravely, was powerless to take advantage of this powerful and tricky shot, and could only watch the ball enter the net.

2:2, Liverpool equalized the score, but they didn't have time to celebrate. At this moment, the time had reached 87 minutes. They only had about 5 minutes left to attack Arsenal's winning streak record and chase Manchester United. After scoring the ball, captain Gerrard even ran to the net to pick up the ball, then put it in the center circle, waiting for Newcastle United to serve. The degree of anxiety can be imagined.

At this time, Newcastle United became nervous. Liverpool scored too many goals in the last moment this season, especially Chen Yu, who scored many final goals in stoppage time. They were able to boldly invest their troops in counterattacks when they were leading, but they became conservative after the draw. Except for the striker Martins, everyone else returned to the 30-meter area and prepared to defend the remaining five minutes.

The live commentator began to mention Chen Yu's name at this moment, "...... There are still 3 minutes before the end of the game, Chen still has no goals. Could it be that his 13 consecutive goals record ended like this? Now Liverpool needs Chen to stand up! If the draw is tied, there is an 8-point gap from Manchester United, and there is no difference from the result of losing... Chen doesn't seem to be omnipotent. Today he is lost in the heavy rain on the banks of the Tyne..."

However, the commentator on the scene said it a bit early. When the game entered stoppage time, Chen Yu suddenly pulled the ball outside the penalty area to receive the ball, Babayaro flew to the ball, and Chen Yu dodged horizontally, and then Chen Yu dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area to avoid the Magpie Legion's tackle.

One...two...three...

After dodging the robbery of four players, including Babayaro, Chen Yu suddenly turned around near the corner of the penalty area and pulled his feet and shot angrily. The ball hit a diagonal and hit the post and bounced into the net.

This shocking long shot was like a lightning bolt in heavy rain, shocking everyone.
