Chapter 487 "Boiled Frogs in Warm Water"

It wasn’t until Valencia’s players ended their celebration under the interference of the referee that Huang Jianxiang reacted, “My audience friends in front of the TV, Ai Luo’s goal not only helped Valencia equalize the score on the field, but also allowed him to score 17 goals in the Champions League this season, which means that he set a new record for scoring goals in a single season in the Champions League created by himself last season…”

Listening to Huang Jianxiang's commentary, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or computer were stunned at the same time.

My God, it's us Chinese who set the Champions League scoring record in a single season one after another. It's incredible!In the end, it came together into one word: awesome!

Attention returned to Anfield. After the referee dispersed the celebrating Valencia players, he walked up to Aiello, showed him the yellow card, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your goal, but the rules cannot be changed."

Ai Luo spread his hands and shrugged, "No problem, Mr. Referee."

Ai Luo didn't care about the referee's yellow card. He had checked UEFA's official website long before the game. Yellow cards in the group stage were not brought into the knockout round, so this yellow card was his first yellow card in the knockout round. He would never miss the UEFA Champions League final due to celebration.

After finishing speaking, Ai Luo quickly caught up with Wang Xiaolei and put his arms around his shoulders. Only now did he have time to ask Wang Xiaolei why he was so confident in saving the penalty: "How did you guess that Alonso would shoot to the bottom right corner of the goal?"

As a result, Wang Xiaolei replied with an answer that left Ai Luo speechless: "Guess..."

"Then how do you know you're going to save the ball when you come out?"

"Actually... I am emboldening myself! Hee hee..."

Ai Luo was completely speechless now.

But he knew that Wang Xiaolei's career had already made a good start.

How strong is the psychological quality of a person who can save a penalty kick in the crucial second round of the Champions League semi-final?Let’s not talk about Wang Xiaolei’s career in the future. Now he has left a strong mark in the history of the Champions League, and it will also have a profound impact on his future 20-year career.

……

In an apartment somewhere in Shanghai, China.

"Son is awesome!"

"That's needless to say? I don't even look at whose species!"

"Old and indecisive!!"

"..."

Benitez quickly came out of the shadow of conceding a goal, because he realized that this conceding goal was not the end of the team. On the contrary, there was still an opportunity to take advantage of it, because Valencia had just equalized the score and would definitely relax.

He looked up at the time on the big screen, 62:35

I thought about it a little bit in my heart, because the goalkeeper was sent off before, it was delayed for nearly 5 minutes, which means that there is at least half an hour of injury time, and then I think that Valencia is now fighting with one less player. Can this score be defended in the next half hour?

Hmm, don't even think about it!

Benitez came out of the shadows, but the players on the Liverpool field have not yet come out, especially Xavi Alonso, who missed the penalty kick. After the re-kick-off, he made several mistakes in long pass transfers. Either he had more strength or less strength, and the weaker power almost allowed Aiello to seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly.

Seeing the accumulation of three offensive players in the frontcourt, Flores regretted the substitution adjustment just now. If he had known that Wang Xiaolei played so bravely, he not only saved the ball, but also threw the ball to assist Ai Luo to equalize the score. How could he replace Edu?

But there are no such ifs in the world.

So he turned his head and looked at the bench. There were a lot of offensive players, but there were no suitable defensive players.

The suspension of Marchena and Navarro has really had a great impact on the team!

If Benitez knew that Flores was annoyed because there were too many offensive players, it is estimated that Benitez would come over and teach Flores with his fists.

※※※

The head coaches of both sides found that there were no suitable replacements on the bench, so they were very "calm" and stood still, looking at the specific situation on the field before making a new decision.

"I have to say that I really admire Rafael Benitez. Under such a big psychological gap, he was able to stay still. It's not easy..."

Just now the camera was aimed at Liverpool's bench, and it was found that none of the players were warming up, so the camera was shown on Benitez with his arms crossed and his chest, and his close-up also attracted speculation from countless commentators.

"It's true. As the coach who led Liverpool to win the UEFA Champions League miraculously in the 2004-2005 season, he must have a strong tolerance in his heart. I guess he is full of confidence in the players on the field."

The guest commentator next to him responded.

After Harvey Alonso was out of form for a few minutes after the re-kick-off, as the number of times he took the ball increased, the shadow of missing a penalty kick was also left behind.

Harvey Alonso's state has returned to strength, and Liverpool's frontcourt offense has regained a sense of hierarchy. It is no longer handed over to the winger through simple handling from the midfield like in the first half, and then forced to pass the ball.

Anyway, there is still enough time left. Harvey Alonso does not believe that the team will not be able to score a goal in the next time with a one-man lead, so he is not in a hurry to use long passes to hit behind the two defenders as frequently as before, but controls the team's rhythm in the middle.

Valencia has one less player on the field, so Ai Luo, who usually does not need to defend, also returned to his defensive left side to help defend.

After all, this is related to his task of "farewell to the captain", and he must win this season's UEFA Champions League in public and private!Don't be in the semi-finals of drinking and hating! !

※※※

Benitez looked up at Wang Xiaolei, who was standing in front of the goal, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Didn't this kid perform very eye-catching just now?In the first game of his career, he saved a key penalty in such a critical game, and also assisted compatriot Ai Luo to score a goal.

Maybe, maybe let him exercise more!

The corner of Benitez's mouth curled into an arc.

Taking advantage of a chance of a dead ball, Benitez blew his own whistle, and captain Gerrard ran over knowingly. When the goal kick was taken, Benitez just finished transmitting his latest tactical ideas.

In the subsequent attack, Gerrard chose a direct long-range shot, which was very powerful, and it went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. In addition, the ball bounced off the ground, which indirectly increased the difficulty of saving.

Originally, it was just a simple kick, but Gerrard himself did not expect the kick to be so good. According to his own vision, he thought that the ball was there, and the moment before the football entered the goal, Wang Xiaolei single-handedly saved the ball out of the baseline.

Gerrard looked up to the sky and sighed deeply as he looked at the football that had been saved from the bottom line.

One minute later, Harvey Alonso also took a long shot 1 meters away from the goal. Wang Xiaolei's position was very good. This time, he was not as hasty as the long shot that he threw at Gerrard before.

The teammates in the back line also gave Wang Xiaolei a high thumbs up.

"God, is this really the first time for Wang to participate in a competition like the UEFA Champions League? I think he looks like an old player in the UEFA Champions League. He has excellent goal line skills, and dares to attack and catch the ball. More importantly, he dares to shout at the big brothers in the back line. I believe that his achievements will definitely not be small!"

Andy Gray said in surprise after Wang Xiaolei took Harvey Alonso's long-range shot directly into his arms for the second time.

If a long-range shot is accidental, it would be a bit strange to use long-range shots to complete two consecutive attacks, so Flores noticed Benitez's latest tactical intention.

He obviously wanted to try Wang Xiaolei's state continuity, but he didn't expect that the result would drive Benitez crazy.

Of course, Flores also realized that if Liverpool players continued to try long-range shots at the front of the penalty area, they would not be allowed to miss a goal, so he shouted from the sidelines, asking the midfielder to limit the long-range shots of Liverpool midfielders.

Baraja and Ballack were efficient and quickly erected a barrier at the front of the penalty area, and neither Gerrard nor Xabi Alonso got space for another long-range shot.

※※※

The time of the game passed quickly, and it was the 85th minute of the whole game. Harvey Alonso was still patiently controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm in the midfield.

Although there is no good opportunity to score goals on the field, Benitez is not in a hurry off the field, because he is keenly aware that the running of the Valencia defenders is not as active as the previous few minutes. He firmly believes that as long as the situation continues to be controlled, the physical fitness of the Valencia defenders will definitely be dragged down. By then...

Still not at the mercy of others?

With good intentions, continue to focus back on the court.

Gerrard and Xabi Alonso have passed four or five consecutive balls in the middle of the field 40 meters away from Valencia's goal, but no defenders stepped forward to interfere. Ballack just stood honestly in the defensive area 30 meters away from his own goal, and would not take the initiative to step forward even if it was more than half a meter away.

In fact, Valencia's defensive strategy, Harvey Alonso, noticed it a few minutes ago, but he felt that the time on the field had not yet come, so he delayed the offense, and more often chose to pass the ball across or back, just waiting for the moment when Valencia's defense was distracted and delivered a fatal blow.

It is the so-called boiled frog in warm water.

In addition to him and Gerrard next to him, the team has such ability. The two have partnered for three seasons, and the tacit understanding between them has long been cultivated. The communication between the eyebrows can tell each other's thoughts.

When the two passed back and forth to the seventh foot in a row, Gerrard did not stand still, but ran forward. He was quickly noticed by Ballack who was sticking to the middle of the court. Harvey Alonso waded the ball two meters in front of him. At the same time, Zenden, Riise, Crouch and Dirk.

Think of Harvey Alonso suddenly swung his right foot, could it be a long pass?
