This arrangement caused Liverpool, who originally passed back to the right to reduce the pressure, to pass the football to the feet of Gerrard, Deng Kai's forward target.
Of course, Deng Kai is not that fast. If Gerrard kicks the ball, Deng Kai will have no chance to touch the football.
However, the ubiquitous voices of "the next Beckham" brought some beautiful images to Gerrard's mind.
For example, when Zidane is facing a pressing situation, he pulls back and knocks the ball, teasing the opponent.
For example, when Baggio faced a pressing challenge, he made a smart turn and fake move, sending the opponent flying.
This is how a master should handle it.
Elegant, calm, wise and gorgeous!
Gerrard stretched out his right foot and looked up to observe the movement of teammates Irving and Fowler in front of him, preparing to use this "observation fake" to make Deng Kai mistakenly think that he would directly pass the long ball, and then pull the ball and turn around to shake Deng Kai away.
Watch the ball and directly pass the ball to Irving.
This is definitely a superstar-level approach.
At the same time, it can also respond to Deng Kai's previous quick pass.
It's just a quick pass without looking at anyone, and it seems like no one can do it.
After observing in advance, of course there is no need to look up and observe the next time you catch the ball.
As a midfielder, Gerrard is not interested in Deng Kai's quick passing skills, and would not mind showing off this skill at certain times, letting Deng Kai know that it's not that everyone doesn't know it, it's just that everyone disdains it.
Just use this trick often.
Um?
Plop!
Gerald, who looked up to observe, lost his feet and staggered.
The scene was in an uproar.
Gerald's own mind went blank.
He slipped!
Stopping the ball is a basic skill, the simplest and the most difficult.
When Gerrard looked forward, his foot failed to completely touch the football.
This kind of low-level mistake, even if he stops the ball a hundred times again, Gerrard will not miss the ball.
But it happened to be this time.
This is the most important and most unforgettable time.
Gerrard used his hands and feet to turn around and rush towards the football, trying to catch up with it.
But a green and white figure passed by him and pushed the football forward.
Gerrard, who almost caught up with the football, stumbled again.
To an outsider, Gerrard seemed to be knocked over by the breeze when the opponent rushed over, and he continued to move forward awkwardly on the ground using his hands and feet.
But he could no longer keep up with the other party.
Before Gerrard fell down, his eyes were still staring at the opponent's jersey...DengKai!
"Gerrard slipped! The football is out of control!"
"Deng Kai rushed over and took the football away!"
"Gerrard completely fell behind Deng Kai!"
"Mistake! Gerrard made a huge mistake!"
"Deng Kai went it alone!"
"Westwerder was forced to attack! He was already a little far away from the goal. It was too late to return to the goal at this time. He rushed out of the penalty area..."
"Dick shot! Deng Kai shot directly from outside the top of the penalty area!"
"West Wade reached out...and couldn't reach the football! The football passed!"
"Babel quickly chased back, he still had a chance, football is not fast!"
"Babel, Babel..."
boom!
Babel jumped up and kicked the football with an overhead kick.
But not enough, far from enough.
His toes are still at least twenty centimeters away from the football.
boom!
The football smashed into Liverpool's goal area.
There was silence.
Many people subconsciously looked up and glanced at the time on the scoreboard.
90′11″
Ninety minutes and eleven seconds!
Just eleven seconds have passed since overtime started!
Many fans are still buying food in the stadium store to prepare for the next overtime. They believe that Liverpool will use attrition tactics in the first half of overtime, and then use all their strength to eliminate Sporting Lisbon with zero battery in the second half.
Although the golden goal system was introduced to combat negative football, it actually had the opposite effect.
The rule makers thought that this would give the weaker team a chance to defeat the stronger team and promote the game to move towards offensive football.
But precisely because the team may die at any time, both sides will pay more attention to defense, especially the stronger side. The rhythm of the game is often controlled by the stronger side.
The strong side is squatting on defense. Is the weak side a fool to attack and let others hit them and counterattack? Of course, the weak side must defend and counterattack.
The game will become even more negative than before.
This phenomenon has actually already occurred in the past World Cup and European Cup.
Therefore, the golden goal will most likely appear in the second half or at the end of the first half.
Anyway, the first ten minutes of overtime are impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, when Deng Kai succeeded in the shot, including the commentators, they were stunned in place and did not dare to shout out the word that meant goal for a long time.
But the director was not stupid, he always handed the picture to Deng Kai.
In the footage, Deng Kai took off his jersey while passing by indifferent opponents and teammates.
He ran to the fans' stands, threw his jersey into the stands, and then picked up Hathaway from the stands.
Deng Kai wanted to say something, but Hathaway blocked his mouth immediately. Hathaway was even more excited and proactive than Deng Kai.
Until this moment, time seemed to have finally been unfrozen.
The on-site commentator shouted: "GOALLLLLL!"
This was followed by the referee's three whistles to end the game.
In the footage, the players and coaches on the Sporting Lisbon bench immediately rushed onto the court.
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, Matthäus, who had already entered the locker room, rushed out again.
Babel once again knelt on the ground and beat the ground in pain.
Gerrard even lay on the ground, covering his face and crying bitterly. He had messed up everything.
"GOAL! GOAL! Super GOAL!"
"The golden ball appears!"
"Eleven seconds! It only took eleven seconds!"
"Deng Kai's lightning golden goal beats Liverpool!"
"Sporting Lisbon is the champion! The champion of the UEFA Cup!"
"Triple Crown! The youth team of the Portuguese Super League really did it! They became the Triple Crown Champion!"
"Gerrard, Gerrard's mistake was too fatal! Deng Kai stole the ball from his feet and faced the goal. He never misses such an opportunity! His key ball ability is extremely strong!"
"Congratulations to Sporting Lisbon, they created their own record! Liverpool should not have done it. They were equalized and defeated with a 3-0 lead in the first half..."
"I can only say that this is a miracle, a Westphalian miracle created by Sporting Lisbon! This game will become a classic, not only because of Deng Kai's golden goal, but also because of the Liverpool midfielder
Red wine celebration event.”
"Liverpool lost to their own arrogance and carelessness! They paid a heavy price for it!"
"It turns out that Gerrard is not the next Beckham. Even if he is, he is just the Beckham in the 1998 World Cup."
