509. The mentality of the Pompeii army is unbalanced
At the beginning of the second half, Portsmouth launched a fierce attack.
Portsmouth's players were very heavy when attacking, leaving only two defensive players in the backcourt. It can be seen that they really tried their best today, and they will fail if they don't succeed.
Liverpool did not expect that Portsmouth would be so bold and so crazy from the start. Lack of preparation, Portsmouth's offensive effect was obvious.
After a one-two between Stephen Finnan and Brown in the midfield on the wing, he immediately dribbled the ball down and made a pass. The football quickly flew into the Liverpool penalty area. However, the football was blocked by Liverpool's central defender Si
Cottle pushed him out.
The football fell to the feet of Picquoni who rushed up from the center. He did not stop the ball, but directly swung his legs and volleyed. His right leg firmly hit the football, and the football immediately flew out and flew towards the Liverpool team.
's goal.
The Portsmouth fans in the stands were full of expectations, but the football team fired anti-aircraft cannons and shot down the birds flying in the sky.
On the sidelines, Portsmouth's head coach Grant saw this and slapped his forehead hard with his right palm. He didn't want to watch anymore.
To be honest, the strength of the Portsmouth players is incomparable to the strength of the Liverpool players. If the Liverpool players had won the ball, the threat would be great and they would definitely score a goal.
.
Goal kick, Liverpool won the goal kick, and Reina kicked the ball out with a big kick.
The football flew over half of the field and came to the front of Portsmouth's penalty area. Huntelaar took off high with Mokena and headed the ball to Maxi Rodri who was advancing from the wing.
Gus.
When Maxi Rodriguez was about to catch the ball, Portsmouth's full-back Vanden Bore rushed out quickly and stretched out his leg to knock the football away from Maxi Rodriguez.
, the football flew past Maxi Rodriguez quickly and flew behind him.
At the same time, Vandenbore accelerated his attack, passed Maxi Rodriguez, and chased the football.
When catching up with the football, Liverpool's full-back Glen Johnson pounced on him. Vandenbore immediately changed direction and accelerated, dribbling the ball towards the center. Before Khedira pounced on him, he passed the football across to the center.
Brown.
But as soon as the football rolled out, Liverpool's midfielder Mascherano rushed out, stole the football in the middle, and then sent the football directly to Qiu Ze in front.
The Portsmouth fans immediately became frightened. As long as Qiu Ze gets the ball, he will be a threat.
Qiu Ze connected with the ball and turned around. In just a moment, he was facing the Portsmouth goal. At the same time, when he turned around, Qiu Ze's eyes instantly found the space.
Portsmouth's two central defenders were too lax in marking Huntelaar, and they gave Huntelaar a big gap.
Of course Qiu Ze was not polite. He turned around without any movement, swung his leg and hit the football hard with the instep of his right foot. The football immediately flew straight out, like an arrow leaving the string.
"Chris made a through ball! Huntelaar moved forward and successfully countered offside! Portsmouth is in danger!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen shouted excitedly.
The ball was so fast that by the time the two central defenders of the Portsmouth team reacted, the ball had already rolled to the feet of Huntelaar. And Huntelaar had already penetrated between the two central defenders of the Portsmouth team.
Entered the Portsmouth penalty area.
Single blade! This is a genuine single blade ball!
The Liverpool fans at the scene were extremely excited. This goal would completely seal their victory.
However, they were happy a little too early. Huntelaar didn't expect that the opportunity would come so easily. He himself was a little unprepared. When he stopped the ball, he stopped a little too wide, and the football was directly hit by the speed.
Portsmouth goalkeeper James hugged him as he rushed out.
"James! Wow, James' attack was too timely. He stopped Huntelaar's ball. He came to pull out his teeth. Sure enough, the national team deserves to be the national team, and the sword is still young." Sky Sports commentator
Tim Laursen said.
The Liverpool fans at the scene burst out with a collective cry of regret. Of course, many guys directly muttered to Huntelaar, what happened to this guy today? He made such a low-level mistake?
The Portsmouth fans were very happy. They gave James thunderous applause. James saved the team, which was equivalent to a goal.
On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach Benitez couldn't help but frowned when he saw Huntelaar's performance. Huntelaar was indeed a bit out of shape today. He failed to seize several good opportunities. It seems that he is still
He needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
Portsmouth goalkeeper James threw the football, and the football flew quickly to the wing. Hughes on the wing caught the football. He immediately turned around, and Liverpool's winger Maxi Rodriguez immediately
He rushed forward and stretched his legs to steal the ball.
However, Hughes was well prepared. He stepped on the ball and pulled back to avoid Maxi Rodriguez's steal. He immediately turned sideways and passed the football back, and then he quickly moved forward.
Vanden Bore at the back line did not stop the ball. Facing the football rolling towards him, he directly swung his leg and hit the bottom of the football hard. The football flew upwards rapidly and jumped over Maxi Rodriguez's
Above his head, he flew towards Hughes who was advancing forward.
Hughes moved forward quickly, looking up at the trajectory of the football in the air as he ran.
Vandenbore's corner kick seemed to be a little too big, and Hughes frowned slightly. At this time, Liverpool's full-back Glenn Johnson jumped up high, trying to push the football away.
Seeing Glen Johnson jump up, he secretly sighed in his mind that this opportunity was about to end. He was ready to slow down and turn around to grab the second place of the ball.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Glenn Johnson actually jumped up, and the football almost touched Glenn Johnson's hair and fell backward.
Hughes was immediately overjoyed. He suddenly accelerated and passed by the falling Glen Johnson, chasing the football.
Danger! Liverpool is really in danger now!
The horrified exclamations of Liverpool fans immediately came from the stands of the new Wembley Stadium.
The Portsmouth fans collectively stood up from their seats like their butts were on fire, staring brightly at the stadium. Grant could not help but lean forward, staring closely at the stadium.
.
Hughes rushed up quickly, caught the football, and cut inside with the ball.
Liverpool's central defender Skrtel immediately rushed out and intercepted Hughes. Without any panic, Hughes directly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle and passed the football one step inside the penalty area.
Skrtel was shocked. He immediately looked sideways and saw that the football was rolling rapidly towards Utaka who rushed in. This time it was really dangerous.
Amid the excited screams of Portsmouth fans, Utaka, who rushed forward, did not stop the ball and volleyed towards the football.
With a bang, the football immediately flew out from Utaka's feet, like a meteor in the night sky after death, so fast that all Liverpool fans felt that they were doomed at this moment.
Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina, like a god coming from the side, made a sideways dive and knocked the football that was about to fly into the goal.
The scene immediately erupted with cheers of surprise from the Liverpool fans. They really didn’t expect that Reina could save the ball. They thought it was so dreamy and unbelievable. The Portsmouth fans were even more dumbfounded.
They were all ready to celebrate, but the football was blocked!
No one is willing to believe what they see in front of them. This is simply too surprising and unscientific.
After saving the football, Reina was very excited. Even he himself did not expect that he could save the football. This time it was an unexpected surprise. He was so excited. He was so excited.
At this time, Benitez immediately made a substitution and replaced Huntelaar, who had a very average performance today, with Marcus Berry. When Huntelaar saw that he was replaced, he was stunned for a while.
, he really didn’t expect that he would be the one being replaced.
Marcus Berry got his first chance soon after coming on the field. Qiu Ze suddenly stole the football from Portsmouth midfielder Brown in the midfield, and then he sent an exquisite direct kick.
The ball was blocked and found Marcus Berry between the two central defenders of Portsmouth.
At this time, Portsmouth's two central defenders are still a certain distance away from Marcus Berry. Marcus Berry has a lot of space to shoot.
Marcus Berry didn't hesitate and pushed the ball directly into the far corner.
The ball quickly passed Portsmouth goalkeeper James who dived sideways, but also missed the far post. Marcus Berry missed the shot.
Gradually, Liverpool has adapted to Portsmouth's offense, and Liverpool has begun to regain control of the situation, especially with players like Qiu Ze in the midfield. Liverpool has completely taken the initiative on the court.
Qiu Ze firmly controlled the situation in the midfield and controlled the football at the feet of Liverpool. The Portsmouth players frantically pressed without success. Under Qiu Ze's dispatch, the Liverpool players always
The Portsmouth players gave the football away first.
The Portsmouth players couldn't get the ball. As time passed by, their mentality became more and more anxious, and their movements began to increase. Some movements were obviously unnecessary, and in
Even though they clearly couldn't get the ball, they still stretched their legs and tripped up the Liverpool players.
This made the Liverpool fans very angry. The Liverpool fans madly attacked the Portsmouth players, cursed them and put pressure on them.
However, the Portsmouth players ignored them and continued their actions. It could be seen that the mentality of the Portsmouth players was already unbalanced. As the game continued, the Portsmouth team did not respond.
Too many chances, unless a miracle happens.
At this time, the referee Howard's whistle sounded frequently, which made the mentality of the Portsmouth players even more unbalanced.
