Di Matteo came on as a substitute for Zola. .suimeng.
In fact, Su Yun really likes Di Matteo. Di Matteo is a veteran of Chelsea. The important thing is that Di Matteo has a good character. He is not the kind of player who relies on his old age and sells off his old age.
Of course, I like Di Matteo not only because of his good character, but more importantly because of his strong strength.
Whether it is catching the ball, passing the ball or shooting, he is very good. In terms of ability, Di Matteo definitely surpasses Lampard. The only thing that Lampard can surpass Di Matteo is his physical strength.
Mateo is strong.
It's a pity that Di Matteo has too many injuries. Various minor injuries have caused Di Matteo to miss many games. Resting for a week or two is common for Di Matteo.
How old is Di Matteo?
If he were thirty-four or five years old, Su Yun wouldn't say anything. But Di Matteo is only thirty-one now.
For a player, the age of thirty-one is actually not yet completely past his peak period. There may be some physical problems, but this is the time when a player's strength and experience are at their peak.
Many players are not in peak condition at this time.
Look at Liverpool's McAllister. He is already thirty-six and a half years old and is still England's top midfielder.
But Chelsea's veteran players are very problematic.
Both Deschamps and Di Matteo are just over 30 years old. Now is actually the time for them to show their strength. Unfortunately, their strength has not dropped much, and their experience is even richer. But injuries are too many
Much more.
It's not a major injury.
They are all minor injuries. But this kind of minor injury is even more disturbing. Playing one game and resting for two games is not as painful as being injured for a month or two months. At least it won't be as annoying as it is now.
Deschamps and Di Matteo are both veterans that Su Yun likes and values very much.
But this season, their playing times are at most half that of their main players.
In fact, Di Matteo had some minor injuries before this game. Su Yun put him on the bench, not because he didn't trust him, but because his injury affected him.
When an attack was needed at the last moment, the first thing Su Yun thought of was Di Matteo.
Di Matteo has only been on the field for a few minutes.
This time the ball was not grabbed by Di Matteo. The ball was tackled by Williams and rolled to Di Matteo's feet. Di Matteo himself was also surprised. McAleese showed off after coming on the court.
The ball was actually intercepted by Williams at this place.
But Di Matteo's reaction was quick.
There was no rush because the ball came suddenly.
But it's very stable.
After getting the ball, before other players could react, he had already thought of all his next moves. Without any pause, he immediately used his left foot to lead the ball to the right. Then he swung it directly
The right foot is one step away.
Di Matteo's long-range shooting ability is outstanding.
Among the current Chelsea players, no one has better long-range skills than Di Matteo. Even Williams, who has scored a lot of goals, his long-range skills are just explosive.
Di Matteo's long-range shooting is not only explosive, but also has excellent skills. When he shoots from far away, he usually looks at the goalkeeper's position and then decides the direction.
His distance traveled a long arc.
"Di Matteo...she!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"DiMatteo! DiMatteo! DiMatteo!"
"Di Matteo's goal made a huge arc, and Westerwerder simply couldn't save the ball. Even if any goalkeeper was guarding the ball, it would be impossible to save it."
"Di Matteo, he just came on and equalized the score for Chelsea."
Andy Gray's voice suddenly became louder. In a game that seemed dull and even boring, who would have thought that there would be such a moment. Almost all commentators and fans began to complain about the ugly game.
But just when everyone thought they had seen the most ugly game in the FA Cup, Gao Xuchao suddenly appeared before the game ended.
First, Owen scored a surprising goal.
One person toyed with the entire Chelsea defense, including players like Deschamps and Desailly who have a high status in world football. This goal was even more beautiful than the one he scored against Argentina in the World Cup. It was beautiful in the FA Cup final.
Among the goals scored, he will definitely be among the best.
And when it was thought that Liverpool was about to win, Chelsea equalized the score at the last moment.
The score was equalized with just two minutes left in regulation.
This is football.
"The game went on for eighty-eight minutes. At the eighty-eighth minute, Chelsea evened the score. It was incredible."
"Di Matteo... the veteran Su Yun just replaced, used such a goal to tell everyone that he is not old yet. Di Matteo has suffered a lot of injuries this season and has very little playing time. But as long as Di Matteo
If he can play, his performance will be outstanding."
"Liverpool players and fans, including Houllier, must have thought that this championship was theirs. But Di Matteo's goal at the last moment shattered their dreams. Di Matteo told them that football
You can’t relax at any moment during the game.”
Andy Gray speaks very fast.
"Evened the score. The two sides tied the score at the 88th minute."
"Uuuuuu——"
Di Matteo's goal ignited the long-simmering enthusiasm of Chelsea fans.
All Chelsea fans raised their hands and cheered for a moment.
Although they support the team until now, their confidence in the team is slowly disappearing. After all, the game is about to end. Just when Chelsea fans gradually began to despair, Di Matteo's goal gave
Fans are hugely happy.
Not simple joy.
It's ecstasy.
Scored!
Evened!
"Hail! Robert!"
"Hail! Chelsea!"
"Champion! Champion! We are the champion!"
"Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!"
Di Matteo, who scored the goal, was even more ecstatic.
He looked up to the sky and shouted.
Then he ran like crazy from the edge of Liverpool's penalty area to the bench. The players on the bench had already stood up, and of course Su Yun and the members of the coaching staff were the same.
When Di Matteo saw Su Yun from a distance, he jumped up and hugged Su Yun.
"Robert, well done!"
"Robert, you are amazing!"
Di Matteo and Su Yun hugged each other, and everyone around them gathered around them. As well as the players who followed them from the court, they all came to the bench to celebrate together.
"We will win. We can win."
After Su Yun let go of Di Matteo's hand, he shouted to the surrounding players.
"Yes, we can definitely win!"
Unlike Chelsea, Houllier covered his head in frustration.
The whole game was played very well. It was all under his control. Unfortunately, he is not God after all. He can only control the general outline, but cannot control the small details.
Williams' steal, Di Matteo's goal.
It's all just a matter of a moment.
Something that happened in the blink of an eye.
Houllier simply has no control over these things.
Houllier could only smile bitterly.
A helpless smile.
Never underestimate an equalizer.
An equalizer during a game has a great impact on morale. If the leading team is equalized by its opponent, it will severely damage morale, while an equalizer will boost morale.
Especially this is the FA Cup final.
An equalizer at the last moment, the morale is even different.
After equalizing the score, Chelsea's side was full of momentum.
In the last few minutes, Chelsea completely overwhelmed Liverpool and attacked.
Houllier immediately replaced Borg with Barmby to strengthen the defense in the middle.
"Liverpool must be very disappointed. The game has entered injury time, and the stoppage time is three minutes. I saw that the two teams are going to play overtime. Now Houllier and Su Yun have cards in their hands.
Type it out.”
"Liverpool has already changed two people, but Houllier still has one chance to make a substitution. Not to mention Chelsea. Su Yun has only changed one person so far, which is to replace Zoël with Di Matteo.
He still has two chances to make substitutions. Chelsea also have veterans like Poyet and Wise on the bench."
"In overtime, maybe a substitution will work."
The game entered injury time.
Both Su Yun and Houllier are preparing for overtime.
Because time flies by so fast.
Ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
One minute of added time soon passed.
Players on both sides began to become very cautious, because once a goal was scored at this time, it would be fatal. Everyone invested very little force in offense, but was cautious in defense.
Ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
Two minutes of added time also passed.
There's only one last minute left.
The offense is very cautious, and the defense is even more tense.
"Terry, handed the ball to Solin on the wing... Sorin ran along the wing, and Carragher was already following him."
Thorin is not very fast.
You can't even see it's an offense.
The time is now two minutes and thirty seconds. Everyone is thinking about overtime.
Carragher soon blocked Thorin's path.
"Thorin, pass!"
Solin's cross was a cross at a 45-degree angle. The quality of the cross was good, but unfortunately there was no one in the penalty area who could grab the ball. Whether it was Hasselbaink or Eto'o, they came in from behind.
Neither Di Matteo nor headers are what they are good at.
On the contrary, among Liverpool's defense, Hyypia and Henchoz are both excellent at headers.
"Hyypia, he headed the ball out."
Just a simple header to clear the ball.
"Williams, Williams is coming up."
Williams did not rush into the penalty area when Solin passed the ball because the game was almost over. At this time, Williams needed to take more care of defense and protect the defense.
But when the cross was pushed out, Williams rushed up from behind. And he judged the ball's landing point very accurately.
Facing the ball pushed out by Hyypia, he stepped forward and volleyed her.
