Chapter 328 World Wave

The season is gradually coming to an end.

There are only 8 games left in the league.

Many eyes are on Liverpool, hoping they make a mistake, hoping they lose.

But Liverpool disappointed them.

On March 17, in the 31st round of the league, Liverpool defeated Fulham 2-1 away from home.

After returning from an international match day.

On March 31, in the 32nd round of the league, Liverpool defeated Tottenham 2-1 at home.

Liverpool won both matches with some close calls, scoring hard-fought goals in the second half after the score was tied 1-1 at halftime.

Chelsea manager Sarri, however, saw Liverpool's fatigue in this.

He told his players.

Liverpool is not scary.

Their defense is starting to become less solid.

The Champions League has had an impact on Liverpool.

Winning the League Cup has also put them at ease.

and so.

Round 33 of the league.

The match between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Chelsea have a chance.

And the chances are very high.

Sarri wasn't making baseless accusations; he did indeed see some opportunities to beat Liverpool.

He didn't believe Liverpool could maintain such amazing form for an entire season.

not to mention.

Chelsea need three points.

They are now competing with Tottenham and Arsenal for third and fourth place.

The three teams are very close in points.

They are evenly matched.

Once we lose.

They might drop to fifth place.

And after Solskjaer took over Manchester United.

They are also making great strides.

They're about to join the race for the top four in the league.

Then it will be four teams vying for third and fourth place.

The competition is quite fierce.

Chelsea cannot afford to lose now.

Game day.

The atmosphere at Anfield was lively.

As the players from both sides entered the field.

At this moment, on the television broadcast.

The video featured close-ups of the two number nine players from the two teams.

Liverpool, on the other hand, naturally enjoys sunshine.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's side features Argentine Gonzalo Higuain!

Higuain joined Chelsea during the winter transfer window this season.

This is Sarri's move to salvage the team's goal-scoring ability at the center forward position.

With Hazard and Willian on the flanks.

Chelsea's conversion rate this season is worrying.

The main reason lies in the center position.

Morata was the starter in the first half of the season.

As a result, Morata was known for having two weak feet.

He couldn't score with his left foot, he couldn't score with his right foot, and he couldn't head the ball in either.

Too many opportunities were wasted.

Giroud briefly rose to prominence, relegating Morata to the bench.

But Giroud is not a scorer.

To solve the scoring problem.

Sarri insisted on loaning striker Higuain from Juventus.

Higuain is certainly a player capable of scoring goals.

Higuain scored 36 goals for Sarri in the 2015-16 Serie A season, setting a new Serie A single-season goal record.

There is no doubt about a player's ability.

The only thing to worry about.

The question is whether he can adapt to the Premier League.

Many top players in history have fallen short of this.

From the very beginning of the match, Chelsea did not intend to play a conservative defensive counter-attacking style; they launched a fierce attack on Liverpool immediately!

Liverpool quickly got into the game.

Given the opponent's aggressive attack, it's quite reasonable for Liverpool to play on the counter-attack.

Klopp will not underestimate Chelsea.

He knew this opponent was difficult to deal with.

He was prepared for a tough battle in this match.

Take a look at this team's roster:
Goalkeeper Kepa, center-backs Rudiger and Luiz, left-back Emerson, midfielders Jorginho, Kante, and Loftus-Cheek, forwards Hazard, Higuain, and Willian.

Every player is top-notch.

Look at this starting lineup, its level of luxury rivals that of Real Madrid.

On the bench are players such as Giroud, Pedro, Barkley, and Kovacic.

It also has a rich cultural heritage.

Therefore, Liverpool must abandon any illusions of an easy victory in this match.

Chelsea's attack was very well-structured, coming in waves.

If one attack fails, there will be a second.

Even if a second attack fails, a third attack can still be organized.

They launched continuous attacks, making Liverpool's penalty area somewhat tense.

This momentum even surprised Klopp!
"Hazard!! Wow!! He skillfully turned past Arnold and crossed the ball!!!! Higuain!!!!"

"Oh no! That was dangerous!!! Higuain's shot inside the penalty area went wide!!!"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the stands at Anfield Stadium.

Higuain held his head in his hands, looking regretful.

"At the start of the game!! Chelsea are the more proactive side! They've created some very dangerous attacks!! Liverpool's defense needs to be careful!!"

"Chelsea have been under siege for a while now! They've taken the initiative and are showing excellent form!"

The commentators are analyzing the past ten minutes of the match for television viewers.

More than twenty minutes into the first half, Chelsea have the upper hand in terms of the game.

However, Liverpool have not conceded a goal yet.

Despite the immense pressure they faced, Liverpool's defense proved remarkably resilient!
Sunshine is isolated and helpless in the attacking third, and the team is currently on the defensive. In Sunshine's opinion, the best way to turn the tide is to score a goal!

Once he scores and takes the lead, all problems will be solved.

However, with the team currently under pressure, he is receiving far too little support!
Nevertheless, he gave his all in the few attacking opportunities he had, hoping to help the team get out of its current predicament.

"Salah's through ball!! Sunshine!! He received the ball!!!"

Sunshine turned and dribbled the ball.

Lacking support, he has to charge forward alone!
Kante came up to defend.

Sunshine knew how formidable its opponent was.

His footwork is definitely not as fast as Kant's.

So he took the simplest and most direct approach.

He took a step forward, trapping Kanté to the side and crushing him with his body.

Kanté pulled and dragged him.

结果
They couldn't hold him back at all.

His defensive skills.

His flexibility.

It is completely ineffective in such a situation.

He was about to chase after him.

As a result, when Sunshine bumped into him from behind, Little Black was knocked dizzy and lost his balance.

"They're free! The sun has gotten rid of Kanté!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the stands.

But the sun isn't in a position to celebrate yet.

Rüdiger rushed forward.

He looked menacing but hadn't gone mad yet.

He blocked the path of the shot and the route to break into the danger zone.

Since the sunlight couldn't hit the goal directly, he decided to cut another step to see what would happen.

Cut to the right.

Lift your foot.

Rüdiger stretched out his foot to block.

But the ball was not shot.

This is a feint.

A feint, but a real shot.

Sunlight spiking.

As a center-back, Rudiger was not so easily shaken off by the sun.

He pounced quickly, stretched out his foot, and tried to poke the ball away, but before he could, Yangguang pulled the ball away first.

He failed to poke the ball and instead kicked the sun's foot.

At the same time, his hand also grabbed Yang Guang's arm.

Just as Yang Guang was about to regain control of the ball.

The referee blew his whistle.

Neither of them was satisfied.

Yang Guang believes that even if Rudiger commits a foul, he can regain possession of the ball, giving him an advantage in the attack.

Rüdiger believes he did not commit a foul. This ruling...

It's a lose-lose situation.

But overall.

Rüdiger's defense was successful.

Rüdiger got up from the ground, looked at the sunlight and smiled, deliberately provoking him.

"Kid, you think you can beat me? Go back and train for a few more years!"

"You better not get blown up by me, German."

"I am waiting!"

The two provoked each other.

But no one took any further action.

Because they say it's okay.

It would be troublesome if they took action.

In their first encounter, Rüdiger had the upper hand.

However, for a defender, even if you successfully defend ten times, just one failure could mean losing the entire game.

For a striker, even one successful attempt out of ten could be enough to help the team win the game.

So when Yangguang got the ball again, he continued to charge forward relentlessly.

He didn't really take Rüdiger seriously.

He saw Rüdiger reappear in front of him.

He even started cycling.

"Oh my god, Yang, who's 1.98 meters tall, is doing some really fancy moves!"

He's gone!

Rüdiger was momentarily blinded by the sunlight, causing his center of gravity to shift slightly.

The sunlight, seizing the opportunity, immediately pierced through from one side.

Rudiger quickly turned around, trying to block the position, but Sunshine dribbled the ball to one side.

Rüdiger felt he had found an opportunity.

He quickly raised his foot and swept it towards the ball.

But he failed to sweep the ball; instead, he swept it onto Yangguang's foot, which had suddenly deflected the ball away.

The sunlight was swept away and spilled onto the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The crowd booed, but cheers mingled with boos.

because
Everybody knows.

Rüdiger's foul is in trouble.

He's in big trouble.

"Rüdiger has fouled! He's in trouble! He's in big trouble!!"

In the stands.

The commentators exclaimed in surprise.

Rüdiger got up from the ground, his face ashen.

He initially thought he was in good form during the game, even blocking out the sunlight.

then
That's how this happened.

Sarri's face darkened.

Chelsea were in such excellent form from the start of the match, playing a very dynamic attack.

现在
It seems all our efforts are going to be in vain.

They're about to be down a man.

really.

When the referee ran over.

He was holding a red card in his hand.

Rüdiger made a final attempt to salvage the situation.

He made a gesture as if he were splashing water.

"He faked the fall!"

"I'm faking a fall, you son of a bitch."

The sunlight seemed to yell at him.

Henderson quickly pulled Yang away: "Yang, just watch the show, he's definitely in trouble."

really.

The referee did not listen to his explanation.

Raise the red card.

He was expelled from the game.

"Rüdiger, he's too reckless!"

"Foul! He was the last defender!"

"Red card! A red card without a doubt, number one!"

Amid the commentators' exclamations.

Sarri looked ashen-faced on the sidelines.

"damn it"

The Italian cursed.

Then I looked toward the bench.

no way.

He needs to replace him.

Being one center-back short is no joke.

He looked toward the substitutes' bench.

The only one available is Christensen.

He is a player who can play both center-back and full-back.

Just as Christensen went to warm up.

The sun is already shining as it sets up the soccer ball.

The ball is about 35 meters from the goal.

But everyone knows it.

This is already within the range of sunlight.

"Chelsea's attack was very sharp at the start of the season, but now they have to face the situation of playing with one less player."

"Chelsea might consider switching to a defensive stance, but before that, they must defend against this free kick."

The other Liverpool players didn't come.

Because everyone knows.

The sun will definitely come out on its own.

Kepa nervously arranged the human wall, holding up five fingers.

"Five people! Five people!"

His nervous expression made Chelsea supporters nervous as well.

Five Chelsea players formed a human wall.

Chelsea deployed five players as a human wall.

"They were very nervous about this ball."

"Yang's free kick threat is right here."

Wait until everything is ready.

The referee blows the whistle.

The sunlight began to provide support.

Take the final step.

boom.

Chelsea's wall rose up in perfect unison.

But the ball still flew over their heads.

call.
Everyone felt a gust of wind blow over their heads.

Kepa stared at the top of the human wall.

He saw the ball fly over the head of the wall.

He felt as if the ball was frozen in mid-air, and then suddenly grew larger.

This can only explain.

How terrifying is the speed of this ball?

Kepa instinctively raised his hand.

The soccer ball hit his finger and went into the goal almost without changing direction.
"Unbelievable?! Unbelievable!!!"

"My God!! What am I seeing?!"

"Wow, that was so powerful!!! An incredible goal!!"

"Liverpool have taken the lead – and this is a stunning free-kick goal!! Look at that!! Just 35 meters from the goal!! A world-class strike from the sun!!"

"The ball was too fast!!! Kepa made a save, but by the time he reacted, the ball had already flown into the goal!!"

"I'm sure you all want to know how fast the ball was, and I want to know too!! This ball flew over 35 meters in the blink of an eye! That took probably less than a second!!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! An incredible world-class goal, an unbelievable strike!"

"Ahhhh! Goal! Goal! Goal!"

The commentators went wild after Yang Guang scored!

That goal was absolutely stunning!
This gave the entire Anfield stadium a brief respite.

After scoring, Yang Guang spread his arms and ran to the sidelines for a diving landing celebration.

He was then pinned down by his teammates who swooped down on him.

at this time.

Anfield fans finally woke up from their dream.

They scored!
Klopp ran to the sidelines with his arms raised.

He cheered and slammed his fist into the air.

The entire stadium shook instantly.

The cameras mounted on the stands started to vibrate.
