627 Give them a lesson!
Wembley Stadium, western suburbs of London, England.
In the League Cup final, Liverpool plays against Tottenham Hotspur.
When the game reached the 88th minute, Aurerio quickly stepped forward from the left, received a side ball from Xavi Alonso, and sent the ball to Yang Yang's feet in front of him.
When Yang Yang stopped the ball, he keenly got rid of the defense of German defender Robert Hutt and suddenly started cutting inside with the ball.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jokola suddenly rushed out of the diagonal sprint and knocked down Yang Yang on the left side of the front of the penalty area.
The collision was very strong and painful, and Yang Yang fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Although Jokola is not tall, only 1.79 meters tall, and looks not big, only 72 kilograms, but in fact, like most African players, he has very strong muscles, strong strength, and strong physical confrontation.
Just now, Yang Yang dribbled the ball at high speed and started cutting in. Jokola quickly bullied him. He came prepared and there was no problem, but Yang Yang was in trouble. He was knocked to death and rolled in five.
The referee quickly ran over, called Jokola over, and gave a harsh warning.
This is not the first time that the Ivory Coast midfielder fouled against Yang Yang in this game. He had already received a yellow card for this as early as the first half. Just five minutes ago, he almost pulled Yang Yang down with small moves in almost the same position.
But that time, Yang Yang missed the free kick and was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Unexpectedly, five minutes later, the Ivorians used their same tricks again and even became even more powerful.
The entire Wembley Stadium was overwhelmed by booing and cheering, and it was hard to tell which side would have more fans.
Among the 100,000 fans, Tottenham Hotspur from North London is obviously more fans because it is London.
Liverpool's head coach Benitez protested seriously on the sidelines, and Gerrard was also negotiating with the referee, believing that Tottenham Hotspur's defensive players were too big, and the referee's law enforcement in this game was too soft and he did not protect Yang Yang enough.
"He did it on purpose, did you see?" Gerald's voice was loud.
Liverpool's team doctor Mark Waller quickly rushed into the stadium, and everyone was very worried about whether Yang Yang would be injured after being hit.
In the Premier League, Jokola has never been a good person and has many small moves.
It's like now, after hitting someone, he was harshly warned by the head coach, but he retreated like nothing happened.
Tottenham Hotspur players and head coach Juander Ramos are also used to it.
In the situation just now, if Jokora did not foul, she would not be able to stop Yang Yang.
Who doesn’t know how terrible it is to Yang Yang cut in the left side and shoot a right-footed arc ball?
If you really give him a chance to get up, wouldn’t the situation that Tottenham Hotspurs have worked hard to defeat?
At this time, the time on the scoreboard slowly jumped into eighty-nine minutes.
The score is still one to one, and both sides tied.
…………
…………
Although the League Cup is considered a waste of money, it is a festival for London fans.
Because Tottenham Hotspur reached the final.
After Juand Ramos arrived at Tottenham Hotspur midway, he achieved surprising results and led Tottenham Hotspur to the League Cup finals. The showdown between two Spanish coaches is undoubtedly quite impressive.
Some people say that in London, Tottenham Hotspur is the team with the most fans.
This led to the fact that tickets were hard to come by at Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 fans.
The highest ticket price reached 2,000 pounds, which is a rather terrible high price.
With London's current prices, 1,500 pounds is the monthly salary of a nurse, and 2,000 pounds can pay the rent for the highest apartment in the West End of London for one month, but at Wembley Stadium, it only has ninety minutes.
But even so, the tickets are still very popular.
...
Whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool, they want to win the first championship in 2008 and get a good start.
Benitez also sent all the main players in this game.
Xavi Alonso, who just finished maternity leave, is back in the lineup.
The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Aurerio, Daniel Ag, Carragher, Aveloa, and the midfield is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, with two midfielders, Gerald breaks forward, Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt are partnering with the Trident.
It is not difficult to see from this lineup that Liverpool attaches great importance to this game.
After all, I have reached the finals and giving up is impossible.
...
Tottenham Hotspur's overall strength is inferior to Liverpool, but the North London team started a round of attacks.
But soon, Liverpool suppressed his opponent.
Although it is a bit bumpy, Liverpool's overall strength is still above Tottenham Hotspur, which allows Liverpool to firmly control the rhythm and ball rights. Whether in terms of offensive consistency or efficiency, Liverpool must suppress the opponent.
This advantage is also reflected in the score.
Liverpool took the lead in the first half and broke into the penalty area from Yang Yang on the left and passed to the goal. Gerrard followed up and shot and scored the first record for the Reds.
Afterwards, Liverpool still controlled the game steadily, and the situation seemed to be developing towards the favorable side of Liverpool.
But suddenly, in the 70th minute, when Lennon made a cross from the right, Daniel Ag fought for the top of the penalty area to clear the ball, but unexpectedly, the lineman raised his flag to signal a handball foul, and the referee quickly awarded a penalty.
This immediately made Liverpool players very dissatisfied, thinking that this should not be a penalty kick. Daniel Agg repeatedly emphasized that his arm was not open.
But in the end, the referee maintained the original judgment and Berbatov took the penalty kick.
Since then, Liverpool has strengthened its offense, and Benitez even replaced Mascherano, pushed Kuyt to the striker, and used Pennant to hit the right side to strengthen the team's offense.
Facing the fierce attacking Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspurs lost steadily and had to retreat to its half, and put forward a tactic of defending the game to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. However, under the control of Gerald and Xavi Alonso, Tottenham Hotspurs would find it difficult to get a chance.
On the contrary, Liverpool frequently creates murderous intent.
Yang Yang has become the most critical part of Liverpool's offense, constantly cooperating with his teammates, or using his personal abilities to create threats.
But it is precisely because of this that he became a thorn in the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur defensive players and was frequently violated.
Until the 88th minute, Jokora knocked him to the ground.
But unfortunately, at this moment, the referee, who was soft-watching, still did not show Jokola the second yellow card, allowing the Ivory Coast midfielder to escape.
…………
…………
"Liverpool's team doctor rushed into the court quickly."
"It seems that Yang Yang is very hard to deal with this."
"Let's watch the slow motion again. Jokora's collision was indeed very active. Yang Yang didn't even have time to dodge and was knocked over by him."
"I hope he won't get hurt."
...
The Liverpool fans at the scene were also anxious. They were all very worried. Yang Yang finally got out of the goal drought and scored three consecutive games. If he is injured now, what should Liverpool do?
Liverpool players also surrounded Yang Yang very nervously, and seemed to be very concerned.
...
Yang Yang lay on the ground, allowing team doctor Mark Waller to check and ask about his situation.
It hurts really at the beginning, and it gets so hard that it gets so hard that it gets much better after lying for a while.
But even so, Mark Waller still signaled him to lie down, check it out, and give the team time to take a breath. After all, the game is about to end and it is likely to enter overtime.
But soon, under the inquiry of the referee, Yang Yang took the help of Gerald and Harvey Alonso's hands to get up from the grass.
At this time, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Many fans were shouting Yang Yang's name, obviously happy that he stood up again.
...
"Yang Yang stood up again, Liverpool's team doctor left the court, and he shouldn't seem to be in any way."
"Zokola's foul just now gave Liverpool another free kick opportunity on the left side of the frontcourt penalty area."
"We can see that it is exactly twenty-five meters away from the goal."
"This distance is not far or near, and this location is also good. You can shoot directly."
"Yang Yang also had a similar free kick just now, but the quality of his punishment was not very high. I wonder if he would change someone this time? For example, Gerald or Harvey Alonso, they also have the experience of scoring direct free kicks this season. If you change someone to punish someone, you may be more lucky."
...
After Yang Yang stood up, Gerald and Harvey Alonso came over.
"I'll punish you." Yang Yang said unwillingly.
Gerald and Harvey Alonso looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
From the beginning of the season to now, they all know that Yang Yang's free kicks are obviously of higher quality than theirs.
"Tell them some lessons!" Gerald encouraged.
Harvey Alonso patted Yang Yang on the shoulder, "Then I'll cover you."
Espanyol just gave birth to a son named Jon, and then Yang Yang scored in the Champions League match against Inter Milan and gave the goal to his son.
Especially after Yang Yang scored the goal, he led Liverpool players to line up and do the pacifier to celebrate Xavi Alonso's son in front of fans all over the world, which moved the Spanish midfielder.
Tonight is his first game back on the team, and Xavi Alonso has performed well.
After the allocation was completed, Gerald, Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso quivered each other and stepped back, while other Liverpool players also came forward and quivered the two to give them encouragement.
Tottenham Hotspur players set up a wall in the penalty area, and Yang Yang noticed Jokola.
In fact, he doesn't hate the Ivorians because such fouls and small moves are too common in the professional league.
