No, no, no, even Crystal Palace left back Bell thought so. Halfway through the run, he saw that he could not reach the ball before it went out of bounds, and there was no hope for others to get the ball back. After he stopped,
, Bell suddenly discovered that the Red Army No. 9, who had been behind him before, had blond hair and had not performed well in the whole game, passed by him!
Originally, it was just like this. After all, I have said before that even Bell would not be able to recover the ball when faced with it. Although Torres was in peak physical condition at this moment, however,
In terms of speed, he is only slower than Bale. Logically speaking, it is impossible to catch up with the ball!
It's a pity that Bell was lucky enough to witness something this time. The chance of occurrence was not much higher than the chance of their cooperation on the court a few minutes ago!
But when the ball crossed half of the field, went straight to the baseline, and was about to go out of bounds, the corner flagpole, which was usually inconspicuous and no one would pay attention to it, became the 12th man on the field for the Red Army!
"Bump!" There was a soft sound. Although he was bent over by the ball flying from a distance, in the end, the corner flagpole was still very tenacious and kept the ball in the field without letting it go out of bounds!
"What!" Seeing that Liverpool goalkeeper Laettner's long pass was unexpectedly blocked by the corner flagpole, Bell couldn't help but exclaimed, without caring about anything else, he spread his hoof and headed towards
He chased after Torres who had taken many steps ahead of him!
If someone asked Torres about this ball before it came into contact with the corner flag post, he would definitely answer you without hesitation - what a rip-off!
Although it's a bit rude to say this, it's the fact. It's not like there was no one around Laettner at the time, and no one from the Crystal Palace was coming to press. It's not like Laettner didn't know that his footwork was bad, so he passed a long pass!
The pass is so cheating! Letner doesn't have to think about it with his pig head. In the Red Army, when it comes to long passes, where is he needed? Long brother Alonso or captain Gerrard, whose long pass is not more reliable than him?
Ten thousand times?[
The reason why Torres kept chasing, he swore, was not because he knew in advance that the ball would be blocked by the corner flagpole. He chased it just to set an example for the players on the Liverpool field, and that was this game.
Regardless of whether they win or lose in the end, they will definitely try their best on the court.
And the fact that the ball was finally deflected back into the field by the corner flagpole in such a coincidence should be God's reward for Torres' hard work.
As mentioned before, Torres' current physical condition is not the sluggish condition he will be at Chelsea a few years later. He is at his peak. So, in terms of speed alone, even if Torres is weaker than Bale, he is still weaker.
The situation is very limited, so if Bale was not alert in advance and was beaten away by Torres for several seconds, then trying to catch up again would obviously be an empty talk.
No, even though Bell found that the ball was blocked by the corner flagpole, he desperately pursued it. Unfortunately, all he could do in the end was to watch Torres shake his flowing blond hair and pass the ball to the center of the penalty area.
!
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Seeing Torres comfortably sweeping the ball toward the center of the penalty area despite being pressed, this idea popped into Bell's mind immediately.
A few months ago, this simple pass would not have caused Bale to lose his composure at all. The reason why he reacted so exaggeratedly now was because of the cheating Balzaretti!
Hey, if Balzaretti hadn't been suspended, forget it, just don't say it!
Now on the wing, Torres completed another cross. Even if Bell wanted to do something for the team, it was beyond his ability. At this time, the only thing he could do was to pray that the team's central defender would be stronger, or maybe...
Diego Lopez, give it a try!
And I can't say, maybe God really heard Bell's inner call. Although he has good height and good goal-line skills, Diego Lopez, who has always been weak in attacking, really
He helped the building to collapse, turned the tide and knocked Torres' cross out of the penalty area with a single punch!
Watching Diego Lopez hit the ball with one punch, Bell didn't have time to send some praises to Diego Lopez in his heart. Suddenly, Bell realized that something was wrong! What was wrong? If he saw it right
If so, the ball that had clearly gone away was now in his sight, slowly enlarging in size!
Is this the ball coming back again? Seeing that the ball was about to enter his control area in the next second, Bell had no time to get excited or think about anything else. He adjusted his body and immediately planned to clear the ball in advance!
However, when preparing for the rescue, Bell obviously forgot something!
What he forgot was a very crucial thing! That was Torres, not far behind him!
Just imagine, before, Laettner's long pass from the backcourt was obviously out of bounds, and Torres was willing to chase it with all his strength. Now, with such a great opportunity, and the ball was not far away from him, why was Torres missing?
Share?
Therefore, when Bell previously thought that the ball was out of bounds, he stopped and did not chase it. This was the first mistake he made in defense. At this time, he watched the ball flying towards him and did not actively step forward to greet the ball. Instead, he stood where he was.
Waiting for the ball was the second mistake Bell made! Moreover, this second mistake was directly irreparable! [
But when Bell saw the field, he thought he could clear the ball. Torres hit the horse and threw himself into the air. He was thrown in front of Bell. Under Bell's stunned eyes, Torres took the lead.
Diego Lopez finally hit the ball out of the dangerous area and sent it back again!
However, time has changed, and Bell has made mistakes one after another. It is difficult for Liverpool to expect that the Crystal Palace defense will make collective mistakes. No, the appearance of Torres, although it is very sudden for Bell involved, but for the players in the Crystal Palace penalty area
For defensive players, it is not necessarily the case!
Seeing Torres taking the lead and heading the ball back again, Pique took full advantage of his height advantage. After identifying the landing point of the ball, he got ahead of another Liverpool center Kuyt and made a beautiful head shake to clear the ball.
Out of our restricted area!
After destroying the opponent's cross twice in a row, has Crystal Palace finally passed the dangerous period?
No, far from it! Moreover, this time Pique's header to save the ball can be said to have just brought Crystal Palace into a dangerous period and once again sent it into another, more dangerous situation!
Because when Pique was making a clearance, he was a bit too high and did not control the direction very well. At this moment, after being pushed by him, the ball happened to be heading towards the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area!
Due to the continuous threats in front of the Crystal Palace goal, the Crystal Palace defenders all retreated into their own penalty area. At this moment, there was only one person at the front of the Crystal Palace penalty area who seemed to be alone, but it was very easy to distinguish. He was wearing red No. 8.
Jersey players, stand there!
Immediately afterwards, under the expectant gaze of the fans in the audience, the red No. 8 player first stopped the ball with a stretched chest to assist Pique's header, and then went straight into the air without waiting for the ball to fall.
A volley sent the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area for the third time in a short period of time!
Moreover, the difference this time from before is that Torres's previous two kicks were all passes, but Gerrard's kick was a real hit!
Seeing the ball fall into Gerrard's feet from among the crowd, Diego Lopez, who had just returned to his post, the only feeling in his heart was "It's really over!"
At this moment, there were more than 10 people in the Crystal Palace penalty area! There was a dense crowd of people standing there. Gerrard's shot went straight into the crowd. How did Diego Lopez judge this?
Should I bet that the ball will not be touched by the crowd, or that it will be changed in direction? To be honest, this is a problem that is faced by Diego Lopez and he must solve it urgently!
He struggled for less than a second. In fact, Lopez only had so much time, leaving him to struggle. In the end, Lopez chose to pounce on the upper right corner of the goal with a stable mentality. That is, if the ball did not change the line, Gera
Where Depiball will play!
However, as mentioned before, the penalty area was densely packed with people. How could Gerrard's shot just pass through the crowd by such a coincidence?
Therefore, Diego Lopez, who finally pounced on the right side of the goal, was very lucky to watch the ball being touched by someone in the penalty area and change the line. He was not very fast in the opposite direction from his own save, and slowly rolled into the gate.
