Chapter 296
So it is not that Monchengladbach cannot accept a draw.

At this time, you need to make a choice, whether to accept the draw and continue to hold on to ensure that the 2:2 score is maintained, or to try to counterattack and strive to defeat Liverpool on the road.

Favre stood on the sidelines, frowning, lost in thought.

Favre did not think for too long because the situation waited for no one.

While he was thinking hard, the game on the field had restarted. Liverpool still maintained a very fast pace and high intensity, constantly putting pressure on Monchengladbach's defense. The fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium They also tried their best to create noise and cheer for Liverpool.

From the players to the fans, everyone is united and vowed to completely win Monchengladbach at home.

In the 801st minute, Henderson tried to break through on the left but failed, and passed the football back to Lin Yi who came up to meet him. Lin Yi did not stop the ball to adjust, but faced the football passed back by Henderson and directly turned sideways. The outside instep of his right foot suddenly passed the football towards the goal.

He accurately found Firmino who entered the penalty area.

Firmino leaned against the Monchengladbach defender and raised his foot to stop the ball from Lin Yi. Then he dribbled horizontally, throwing away the defender and knocking down the other two Monchengladbach who were blocking the ball. Debach defender, Monchengladbach's penalty area suddenly turned upside down and there was chaos!
Firmino continued to dribble horizontally, but the space left for him was already very small. He just pushed the football horizontally, and Royce, who was standing next to him, met the ball and kicked it!
This change caught the Monchengladbach defenders off guard, especially Monchengladbach defender A. Christensen, who was very close to the football. His hands habitually moved up, which happened to be On the track of the football, the two sides collided hard!
The football bounced and flew away, and he quickly fell to the ground, covered his face with the hand that touched the football, and pretended to block the shot with his face...

But all this did not escape the eyes of the Liverpool players. Royce immediately raised his arm to signal Christensen's handball!
Royce, who then shot, also raised his hand and jumped up. At the same time, he slapped his right hand with his left hand to remind the referee.

There were also cheers in the stands.

But the referee didn't make any comment!
"Is this...a penalty kick?" He Wei saw that the referee had no expression and was a little unsure.

"Penalty kick! Christensen blocked Royce's shot with his hand! This should be a penalty kick!"

Subsequently, the TV broadcast quickly gave this scene a slow motion, and also used technical means during replay to make this scene appear clearer - after Royce shot, the TV broadcast immediately changed Christensen's shot. The position is individually enlarged and framed, so that everyone can clearly see that the football was indeed blocked by Christensen's raised hand...

"This is really a penalty kick!" After seeing this scene, He Wei also complained for Liverpool.

How important and crucial was this penalty kick when Liverpool needed victory the most?

But the referee said nothing!
Because the game was still going on, Liverpool's players couldn't even continue to argue with the referee.

After the head coach Klopp roared angrily on the sidelines, he turned to the fourth official to argue: "This is a penalty kick. It is very obvious that they committed a handball foul!"

However, the fourth official ignored him and just pressed down with his hand to remind Klopp to stay calm.

Klopp naturally calmed down. In the current situation of the team, if he is sent to the stands again, it will be a huge loss to the team.

So even though Klopp was very unhappy, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Faced with this situation, he could only spread his hands and show a helpless smile.

The penalty kick was not awarded, so Monchengladbach escaped.

This also sounded the alarm for Favre, realizing that a decision must be made quickly, otherwise the team will be finished if it continues.

And this handball also made him realize that with Liverpool's current offensive determination, if Monchengladbach does not defend with all its strength, it will be difficult not to concede the ball.Now is not the time to consider counterattack. Monchengladbach has no energy left to counterattack...

So he immediately asked the whole team to shrink their defense and be sure to maintain the tie.

On the court, after a dead ball, a Liverpool player wanted to run to the referee to argue about the penalty.

But Lin Yi shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Delaying time?!"

The game had entered the last 10 minutes, but he still failed to score. He was also very anxious.

At this point in the game, Liverpool was pressing forward from all fronts, and it was a completely all-or-nothing style of play.Center back Lovren moved from the center back position to the forward line and acted as a center forward.

On the court, every time a Monchengladbach player dawdled a little while getting the ball, harsh boos echoed in the stands.

The head coaches of both sides stood on the sidelines and watched the game nervously.

As the game time went on, the competition became more and more intense, and the air was burning and suffocating.

The sky above Anfield was filled with boos.

Although the game has continued, Liverpool fans are still reluctant to give up on the penalty kick that Monchengladbach did not award just now.

Of course they have to do this, because if the penalty had been counted, Liverpool should be in the lead now and winning the game would not be a problem.

As a result, there is nothing now.If Liverpool doesn't win the game because of this, who's to blame?Who can bear it when a season's hard work is wasted because of this misjudgment?

But the fans could only boo, and they couldn't change anything except venting their emotions.

"That goal should have been a penalty kick. I wonder if this penalty is a way to find balance? After all, Monchengladbach sent someone off..." Some fans in the stands were talking.

"Bullshit looking for balance! Xhaka's two yellow cards are not a problem at all! Let me tell you, even without the first yellow card, his foul on Lin Yi should have been sent off with a direct red card! I think someone does not want us to defend the title That’s all! This is all a conspiracy..."

Liverpool fans vented their emotions with expletives and conspiracy theories.

Now they can only do this...

Can spiritual power really materialize and really help them change the situation?

Is the support of tens of thousands of people just a form of self-comfort?
The fans in the stands still had time to curse the German Football Association and their archrival Bayern Munich.

The Liverpool players on the field didn't have this time at all.

Liverpool's center back Skrtel was almost over the center line, and there was goalkeeper Mignolet in the backcourt. The Liverpool team entered Monchengladbach's half and continued to put pressure on their goal.

But this time, lady luck really didn't seem to be on Liverpool's side.

In the 806th minute, Lin Yi passed the football to Firmino in the ribs in front of the penalty area.Firmino received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, and then passed the football diagonally to the side and behind. There was a small gap there, and Salah was inserting it from the edge.

"Good goal! Liverpool organized a beautiful attack!"

Because Monchengladbach contracted its defense, almost all the players were concentrated in the penalty area, lacking protection for the wings.

Salah received the ball without anyone marking him, took a step towards the baseline and then made a cross!
The football flew forward against the turf.

Lovren ran forward, trying to grab a shot, but the ball was blocked by Monchengladbach defender Christensen who fell to the ground and tackled it.

However, the football blocked by him did not roll away, it bounced back and landed in front of Royce.

Royce won the ball with a furious shot!

The football goes straight to the goal!

But the football was blocked by Monchengladbach defender Dominguez!
Just as Dominguez blocked Royce's shot, Lovren, who was not far from him, immediately raised his arm to signal the opponent for a handball!

"Handball again?" The commentator was not so sure this time. Everything that just happened happened too fast.

The referee didn't say anything.

This time, the Liverpool players did not bother with the referee on this issue because they did not have time to fight for these illusory things.

But the TV broadcast still took the time to show it in slow motion.

In slow motion, Royce's shot was blocked by Dominguez, but because of the angle, it was really unclear whether it was Dominguez's chest or arms that blocked the football.

"It's hard to say about this ball, but even if it's his arm, Dominguez clamped his arm tightly. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with not awarding a penalty kick..."

In the 807th minute, Liverpool launched an attack from the right wing again.

After Salah got the ball from the wing, even though there was no Monchengladbach defender in front of him all the way to the bottom line, he did not waste time to cross the ball, but directly passed the ball at a 45-degree angle where he received the ball. The pass sent the football directly to Monchengladbach's goal.

Now this is the simplest way of playing. Generally, when a team is forced into a desperate situation, they will use this simple and crude way of playing. Even if they cannot directly send the football to the head of their own center, if it can cause chaos in the opponent's defense, It is also possible to score goals.

For example this time...

Lovren, who has become a center forward, jumped high in front of the goal and competed with the attacking goalkeeper Sommer for the high ball!

Then he and Sommer collided. Sommer's hand hit the football, but he was unable to hit the football away.The football bounced off Lovren and landed not far from them.

Firmino, who was near them, happened to appear at that position. Facing the falling football, he swept it away!
Sommer fell from the air, lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was helpless in the face of the shot. The football rolled into the goal not far from him!

The entire Anfield stadium burst into cheers. After scoring the goal, Firmino also ran to his teammates excitedly, planning to celebrate the goal.

"Hey! This ball... hit the goalkeeper!"

Sure enough, in the TV broadcast, Firmino, who was about to celebrate his goal, stopped and looked in the direction of the referee in surprise. His teammates also had similar movements and expressions to his.

The referee's hand pointed not at the center circle, which represents a valid goal, but at the goal area.That means the attacking team committed a foul here and should take a free kick here.

The TV broadcast also quickly provided slow-motion replays - although the game was very intense during this period, there were many slow-motion replays because there was too much to explain, so as to avoid unnecessary controversy - slow motion In the footage, it can be clearly seen that Lovren did have physical contact with Sommer, and interfered with Sommer without hitting the ball, causing him to not hit the football far.

According to the rules, this is indeed a benefit from the collision with the goalkeeper, so the goal cannot be considered valid.

The goal was disallowed. Firmino wanted to go to the referee to argue, but he saw Lin Yi waving hard at him.

He realized why his friend did this - don't waste time and prepare for the next attack!

Not long after this "goal", the fourth official held up a sign indicating 4 minutes of injury time on the sidelines.

At the same time, the current game time was also displayed on the big screen at the scene - 89 minutes and 42 seconds.

The game is about to enter stoppage time, and there is not much time left for Liverpool.

Liverpool was still frantically crossing into Monchengladbach's penalty area, trying to create a chance to score.

The various sounds of Anfield Stadium can be clearly transmitted even through the television.

"Leiva's cross! It was pushed out! Liverpool got the second goal and they continued to organize the offensive!"

"Lin Yi turned around to get away. He was looking for someone, but there was no suitable point for the ball. The penalty area of ​​Monchengladbach was full of people and it was airtight..."

"Liverpool made a mistake when they were looking for cooperation in passing and receiving! Fortunately, Henderson immediately grabbed the ball back! One minute of injury time has passed, and Liverpool still cannot break through Monchengladbach. goal!"

"Lovren tried a long shot outside the penalty area! It was too high! This is a complete waste of opportunity and time! Possession of the ball was easily handed over to Monchengladbach..."

"In the final stage of the game, Liverpool kept making crosses, but only Lovren was able to compete for a header in front of the goal... I think Klopp must miss Sterling very much at this time..."

The whole game was No. 90 at two minutes and 31 seconds, with only one and a half minutes left before injury time ended.

Reva received the ball on the left wing, and no Monchengladbach player came up to defend him. All the Monchengladbach players were huddled in the penalty area, because they knew that Liverpool would definitely make another pass.

Sure enough, Leiva chose to pass directly from the [-]-degree pentagon.

Lovren jumped high in the penalty area, but he did not touch the football.

The football was jumped by goalkeeper Sommer and punched out with one punch!
