Chapter 77 Two goals in a row!
Derby County's counterattack was quite fast, from Leto Ziegler intercepting the ball to Frank Ribery dribbling the ball, and then to Burton Reit's shot, during which time, the Liverpool frontcourt players ran and didn't have time to defend, and it only took about 10 seconds. In such a short time, many Liverpool fans had not reacted yet. They were either talking to people next to them, or doing their own things. When they reacted, they turned around and found that the football was already in their own goal.
They were stunned.
What's going on? Why did football appear in Liverpool goal? What happened to him?
With Burton Reit's goal, the whole game was silent, and Derby County fans cheered wildly. Only then did the stunned fans realize that Derby County had scored, and they murmured without knowing what to do.
This even includes several media reporters.
They didn't notice how the ball was entered, and they turned around and saw the score was rewrite. So at this time, they didn't do anything else, just stared at the big screen of the stadium to see how the ball was entered!
After only a moment of turning heads, why did Derby County score the goal!!?
In fact, many Derby County fans did not react. They were worried about Liverpool's goal just now, but in a blink of an eye the score became 1:1, and Derby County tied the score, which was incredible.
The British BB broadcast commentator also shouted in surprise, "Derbyshire's counterattack is too fast! It's too late to react!"
This sentence has been widely recognized.
It's really too late to react. If you don't look at most of the Liverpool players on the court, you can't even defend. You can only watch the football fly into your own goal!
With this goal, Derbyshire fans' voices became mainstream at Anfield Stadium for the first time.
In this historically brilliant stadium, Derby County fans are pitifully fewer than Liverpool fans. There are only more than 2,000 Derby County fans on the scene, and Liverpool fans are more than 20 times theirs.
Although Derby fans have always wanted to make a sound to cheer for the team, they can't beat Liverpool fans.
It's different now.
Derby County scored a goal. They had reason to shout loudly, and Liverpool fans were depressed and were not in the mood to compete with Derby County fans. They just looked at the stadium and were worried about the team.
They still remember the last time Derby County came here and won the victory with a 2:1 score. Then Liverpool went to Derby County's home court and also lost the game, which means that they lost the game between Derby County this season. Because of this, the media made a "revenge" voice before the game. With the first goal, Liverpool fans thought this would be a revenge, but now the opponent tied the score, is it really a revenge?
Even though they really support the team, they still lose a lot of confidence when they think about the two failures.
At the same time, Derby County has begun to celebrate the goal. Burton Reit ran to Ribery as soon as the goal was scored and hugged him. Thanks to his selfless assist, others surrounded him. They stepped forward and hugged Burton Reit. Several players also reached out to touch the top of Reit's head, which was to get some good luck.
Derby County players are all quite excited.
They have always believed in the win and believed that the team will definitely win in this game, but Liverpool is the first to score goals, which puts them in the psychological pressure. Now that they have scored, they tied the score. The two teams are standing on the same starting line again, and they are more confident in the victory.
The Derby County players' ideas are somewhat similar to those of Liverpool fans. But their mood is completely different. They think that they will win twice this season, and once at Anfield Stadium. When they think about it, they think it is not difficult to win. After all, they defeated their opponents twice, and it is not surprising that they defeated them again.
So their mentality became easier.
While celebrating, the players did not forget to joke with Bolton Reit. After all, it was his goal, and the goal was always envied by his teammates because everyone wanted to score, but there were few goals. Reit has scored many goals this season. With this goal, he has tied with Ivan Kreu, and the two tied for the team's second scorer.
Wansheng stood on the sidelines and looked at the stadium with a smile.
He didn't cheer wildly after scoring the goal. In fact, he was also very excited and excited, but he just watched because he didn't think the first goal was worth joking wildly. This was not a goal that was the final goal, nor was it the last time of the game. Scoring was very important, but not that critical. Especially in this game, he came with the mentality of determining the outcome in one game. He scored just one goal. If he scored two or three consecutive times, he would vent excitedly.
Now, he doesn't need it.
Because he wants to see the team score more goals.
Diamares was very excited. He kept hugging the players on the bench and laughed happily on his face. Perhaps it was because of the contrast that he had just thought that Wan Sheng had developed a tactic that was too risky. Soon the team tied the score. The goal was such a charm. Now he didn't think so at all. Seeing a goal, he felt in his heart, "So what if you fight?" The team always has a chance.
Perhaps Wansheng’s idea is right!
This is the confidence and effect brought by the goal. If there is no goal, it will be difficult for Diamares to change his view. Even if Wan Sheng says something about confidence, facts are better than words, and saying that no matter how many goals are, it is nonsense.
Now he completely believed it.
Burton Reit's goal proves that if Wan wins, at Anfield Stadium, they have the ability to play a game against Liverpool and have the ability to win a big score to defeat their opponents.
But if you want to say that you will definitely defeat your opponent by a big score, no one dares to say such things. After all, there is no such thing as "confirm" in football games. Many games rely on luck. It can only be said that the team has a great chance of winning and a great chance of achieving satisfactory results.
That's all.
Even if we tie the score now, it will be the same.
Burton Reit's goal put the two teams on the same starting line again, and the game soon started again.
It can be seen that Liverpool has not been affected much. Their performance is still very stable, perhaps because they are mentally prepared to be scored by Derby County. After all, they use an offensive-oriented tactic, playing against the opponent without allowing the opponent to score goals. That is impossible. The one who competes against the opponent is who scores more goals, not who has better defense.
However, Benitez began to worry about the game. He saw the team passively and wanted to make some adjustments, but he had not had time to do anything. As a result, Derby County scored a goal. After the game restarted, he saw that the team's performance was still stable, so he continued to sit in the coach's seat. He wanted to see what the team would perform. In addition, there were less than ten minutes left in the first half. If it was adjusted, the break was the best time.
Overall, Liverpool's performance is pretty good.
This is what Benitez observed.
The players were not affected by being equalized. Although they were still suppressed by Derby County on the scene, the players' defense was stable and their offense could also play smooth cooperation and threats. This was already quite good.
In fact, Liverpool players are thinking about defeating Derby County.
As professional players, especially Liverpool, one of the Premier League giants, they looked down on Derby County when they first met Derby County. Even though they knew that Derby County had a good performance, they were Liverpool and one of the absolute strong teams in England!
After losing to Derby County twice, Liverpool players were even more dissatisfied. Now they want to achieve 'revenge' on their own stadium. Even if Derby County tied the score, they could not shake their ideas.
In their opinion, they are Liverpool. They are the Red Army of England, so they are naturally not comparable to small teams like Derbyshire. They have to prove something in this game.
This is the sense of honor of Liverpool players, or the sense of honor of giant teams.
This is determined by the heritage of the giants. Teams like Liverpool are not comparable to Chelsea, the "nova" one. Many of their players come from Liverpool's youth training camps. For example, Gerald, Riser, Carragher and others are all players in Liverpool's youth training camps. Even if Liverpool's performance is not as good as Manchester United and other teams, they never thought of leaving the team. As professional players, they are fighting for themselves and also fighting for Liverpool. In their hearts, Liverpool is not just a good match.
The club of strength is so simple, it is also a kind of faith and a kind of spiritual sustenance. In contrast, Chelsea has no such background at all. Chelsea players, even Lampard, do not come from the team's training camp. There is only one Terry to be mentioned. Other players come to Chelsea from other teams. They come to Chelsea more for themselves, for their honor, and for their own games to play better. Naturally, they have no faith in the team.
This is the difference between a wealthy family and a nouveau riche.
Liverpool players have a sense of pride for their own team. This pride makes them not easily give up on the game, and their emotions will not be affected by the passive situation, because they will have to fight for the team until the last minute anyway.
However, Derby County's goal still had some impact on Liverpool as a whole.
Derby County's goal reminded Liverpool players of their opponents' strong offensive ability, a quick counterattack in ten seconds and a smooth cooperation in the middle, which is not something that ordinary teams can do.
So after the game started again, although Liverpool players were working hard to play, their ideas were a little different - some players wanted to attack and regain the lead, while others wanted to stabilize their defense and prevent Derby County from finding another good opportunity.
Two completely different ideas are quite dangerous to appear in a team.
As a result, Liverpool performed quite stably and everyone was working hard, but their formation was a bit too wide. After several attacks, the midfield kept getting in a gap. It wasn't obvious at the beginning, but when many people realized this, it was too late.
Derby County is a team that is quite good at seizing opportunities!
When the game started again, Wan Sheng looked at the stadium. In just two minutes, he found the opportunity. He waved his hand at the stadium. It seemed that he was just a very normal gesture of greeting, but in the eyes of captain Marcus, he knew that this action represented the team's strengthening offense.
As the head coach, he naturally would not yell at the command of the game. Wan Sheng told the players a lot of movements. He used his eyes and some movements to direct the game, but generally told the players what to do next. If there was a special reminder, he would find an opportunity to ask the players to give in person, but now he doesn't need to do this. He just asked the team to strengthen some offense.
What does strengthening the offense mean?
This is not a simple word meaning. It includes many adjustments, such as moving forward in the formation, such as finding opportunities for two full-backs to insert more, and even if there is a chance, the central defender must participate in the offense.
After Wansheng's adjustment, Derby County's offense was significantly more fierce.
Correspondingly, Liverpool is a little confused. They don’t have the same idea yet. Some want to attack and some want to defend.
Originally, Benitez also saw the team's problems, but looking at the time, the game was about to enter stoppage time, so he did not stand up and just thought about what to do in the second half.
Most importantly, Benitez does not think Derby County can score in the next time.
The game is almost time to enter stoppage time. There is not much time in the first half and the two teams have a tie. In this period, both sides will tacitly spend time in most games.
What Benitez didn't think was that it was just the ‘normal’ time.
Wan Sheng came to the game with the goal of "deciding the outcome in one game", so he naturally had to seize every opportunity. After he made the command, Derby County immediately launched a stormy attack on Liverpool's goal. The entire team's formation moved forward, almost surrounding Liverpool's halftime.
Seeing this situation, anyone can know that Derby County is strengthening its offense.
Benitez immediately stood up from the coach's seat and walked to the sidelines, but he didn't have time to do anything, because commanding the game will be in the interval. Now that Liverpool is in a crisis in the backcourt, it is difficult for players to see him when he commands. He will also divide the players' thoughts and leave opportunities for the opponent.
His command was slower and he was in a passive situation.
Then, he watched Liverpool besieged, football kept rushing into Liverpool's penalty area, and then rushed out. At this time, Liverpool frontcourt players wanted to launch a counterattack to find an opportunity, but they immediately realized that when Derby County pressed the whole game, it was only placed in the opponent's half-time - their counterattack could not beat the half-time.
They were a little panicked!
But Derby County will not show mercy because of its opponent's panic. They hope that Liverpool will be as chaotic as possible. Derby County caught Liverpool off guard with several consecutive waves of offenses. Then Van der Fate found an opportunity in the middle and completed a cold shot at the front of the penalty area.
Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek responded quickly and saved the ball.
But before Liverpool fans could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a figure wearing a white jersey appear in front of the football that bounced into the penalty area. He stretched out his right foot and gently slapped the football immediately changed direction and rushed into the goal.
The ball has entered!
In five minutes, Derby County scored two consecutive goals!
It was not until this time that the fans had time to take a closer look at the white figure who scored the goal. The extremely clear scar on his face made everyone know his name - it was Frank Ribery!
"al!!!!!!"
"Frank Ribery!!!"
"A supplementary shot! The ball was scored! 1:2! 1:2! Frank Ribery's goal helped Derby County overtake the score! In the last time of the first half, they led Liverpool!"
Against the backdrop of the roar of the commentator of the British bb Sports Channel, the screen shows Benitez's extremely solemn and helpless expression.
Espanyol knows that at least in this first half, he lost to the young Chinese. (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
