628 The first crown in 2008 [Breaking Liver for Monthly Pass](1/2)
Like the time five minutes ago, Tottenham still put up the same wall of people. Novel.
Even the players' positions have not changed.
Yang Yang jumped two steps on the spot, walked over, picked up the ball with his right foot, picked it up in his hand, carefully wiped the water stains on it with his jersey, and then gently placed it on the free throw point, stepped on the surrounding grass, and slowly retreated.
Xavi Alonso accompanied him throughout the whole trip, and he looked like he was really going to take the free kick.
But in fact, everyone knows that Yang Yang should be punished by this ball.
...
"This is the third time that Yang Yang took a free kick in this game. He failed to succeed in the first two times. He once hit the wall in the first half. This time, although he gave high quality, he failed to suppress the ball and was slightly higher."
"It's his third penalty now. I wonder if Yang Yang can go further this time."
"We saw Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso standing at the free throw point, and he looked very confident."
...
All the fans at the venue were also very nervous.
Even though Yang Yang had lost two free throws before, Tottenham fans still dare not be careless.
God knows if he can win the punishment this time?
Liverpool fans are full of expectations because they are all familiar with Liverpool and are very clear that Yang Yang has been practicing free kicks since June last year, and his free throw success rate is also the highest in the team.
So, they all look forward to it.
But on the other hand, they were all very nervous because it was already ninety minutes.
Due to Yang Yang's fall to the ground, the stoppage time lasted for four minutes, but the game had reached a critical stage.
...
Yang Yang closed his eyes, and he silently recalled the two free kicks in his mind, especially the second time.
Why is it a little taller?
Can it be faster?
Yang Yang asked himself in his heart.
But all the thoughts were thrown behind the head of the referee's whistle.
Javi Alonso glanced at Yang Yang, who nodded.
The Spanish midfielder ran out quickly and he didn't touch it while passing by the football.
Yang Yang was also quickly following and rushing out, stepping on familiar steps, each step as if it had been carefully calculated.
When he came to the football, his left foot stood firm and his body naturally tilted.
After more than half a year of hard training, he has turned this training into a nearly physical instinct.
He looked at the wall, looked at Zokora, and kicked out his right foot quickly.
Everyone at the scene heard a bang, and the ball quickly flew out from Yang Yang's right foot.
Jokora in the human wall jumped high, making himself jump as high as possible, because this was his mission.
But he could clearly feel that the ball Yang Yang sent out was just over his head and fell towards the goal behind him.
...
David Robinson was very focused, and he was always paying attention to the movement of the human wall.
When he saw the ball flying over the wall, the first reaction of the English goalkeeper was that he was high.
Yang Yang just now gave such a ball, but in order to cross the wall, he ended up rising the beam.
This time the free throw was very similar to the previous one, so he judged that the ball was still high.
But just as the ball just passed the human wall, it suddenly seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand in the air, forcibly pressed it down, and the speed was not slow at all.
Robinson was shocked and wanted to react at the first time, but it was too late.
The free throw was quick and urgent, and he didn't react immediately. When he realized it, the ball had already rubbed the post on the right and entered the net.
In the eyes of live fans and live TV viewers, he seemed to be stunned and didn't even have time to react.
...
As soon as Jokora landed, she turned around and saw the football that hit the net at first sight.
Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder was stunned.
He suddenly felt a sense of fatigue, feeling that he might not have been fouled just now.
But it's too late to regret.
...
"The ball is in!!!"
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
"A wonderful direct free kick scored from Yang Yang!"
"It's the 90th minute now. Yang Yang scored a wonderful direct free kick at the last moment of the game."
"Two to one, Liverpool once again surpassed the score."
...
Yang Yang seemed very excited, jumped up on the spot, rushed towards nearby Zavey Alonso, jumped onto his back, raised his hands high, and kept cheering.
The Spanish midfielder also laughed loudly. Seeing Yang Yang jumping on his back, he ran to the sidelines directly with Yang Yang on his back.
Soon, Liverpool players also chased after him and surrounded Yang Yang.
Two to one!
Yang Yang's straight free kick won the final victory over Tottenham Hotspur!
This will be Liverpool's first championship trophy in 2008!
It will also be the first League Cup champion after five years of separation!
Since Benitez took over Liverpool, the Reds have never won the League Cup, and this year is the first.
Not only the Liverpool players on the court were excited, but even the Liverpool fans in the stands were also excited.
This championship undoubtedly sets a good start for the team!
Liverpool's journey in the Champions League and Premier League is still continuing, and now he has won the League Cup again, and the situation is very good.
This is something that has never been seen in the past few years, or even decades.
All Liverpool fans in the audience were cheering Yang Yang's name loudly and resounding throughout the Wembley Stadium.
Yang Yang was carried by Xavi Alonso, raised his arms high, and celebrated with cheers, as if the team had already won steadily.
In fact, everyone knows that the North London team no longer has the chance to win.
…………
…………
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the singing of Liverpool fans rang out on the scene.
The chorus of tens of thousands of people was grand and the scene was extremely spectacular.
First there is a team song [You never walk alone], followed by a song [We are the champions].
The entire Wembley Stadium was completely immersed in the festive atmosphere of Liverpool's championship.
Two-to-one, with the goals of Gerald and Yang Yang, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur.
With one pass and one shot, Yang Yang was elected as the best player in the game.
After the game, Yang Yang excitedly celebrated his first championship in 2008 with all his teammates.
...
Juandra Mos kept shook his head and sighing.
Benitez knows him so well!
As early as Sevilla, Ramos was very good at playing cup games, especially the League Cup, and Benitez was obviously very clear about this. Both sides had once competed in the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season.
Ramos pays special attention to both wings when playing cup games. He likes to plan attacks with both wings, or even attack wildly.
The most typical example is that he played Middlesbrough in the previous League Cup final. Ramos's Sevilla made McLaren's Middlesbrough dizzy, and his hearty offense even defeated the Premier League team.
Benitez is obviously very clear about this, so whether in the Super Cup or the League Cup final, he lets Liverpool press and press against high positions and never retreat.
Although this is the case, Lennon and Genes on both wings, and Robbie Keane on the front line, can better exert their speed and impact advantages, but it makes it difficult for Tottenham Hotspur's offense to threaten.
It’s useless to have speed, and if you can’t get the ball in the middle and backcourt, there is still no threat.
In addition, Liverpool is obviously not comparable to a team like Middlesbrough. Both Crouch and Kuyt are quite threatening, and captain Gerrard firmly suppresses Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and backcourt.
Especially Yang Yang, he made Tottenham's entire right attack almost completely silent.
To be continued...
