Chapter 500 The Angry White Lily

In the 32nd minute of the game, Tottenham had their first shot in the real sense of the goal frame. A shot from the outside of the instep while constantly pulling and losing the center of gravity. Although the shot was a bit reluctant, the quality was very high. The football flew straight to the back corner of the penalty area with a strong arc.But the goalkeeper Reina's position is very good, he dare not hold the ball with his hands, very thrillingly hit the football out of the baseline with both fists.Then Mo Fei took a corner kick, and his cross was headed by Adebayor, but the Togo striker, under the defense of the opponent's central defender Karage Agger, had a weak header and was directly confiscated by Reina.

Tottenham's two consecutive threatening shots made Liverpool's players and fans break out in a cold sweat. The somewhat sluggish morale of Tottenham's players also recovered. Develop in the direction of parity.

Redknapp also saw the stalemate on the court, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for this fanatical stadium.He has come to Anfield many times, but each time is as shocking as his first arrival. It is understandable that the players cannot adapt for a while.However, he is not worried. Although Liverpool still have a certain advantage, the Tottenham players have gradually adapted to the terrifying atmosphere at Anfield. He believes that as long as the team persists through the first half, the midfielders can adjust their players. With their mentality, they will definitely be able to show their true strength in the second half.

However, when Tottenham and Liverpool fought back and forth until the end of the first half, Liverpool took advantage of a free kick and unexpectedly broke this evenly matched situation.

Gerrard, the soul of the Liverpool team, launched another attack on the left of Tottenham. Bell was pulled down by the Red Army captain after a breakthrough. Liverpool won a free kick at the front of the penalty area.Gerrard hit the goal directly from the left side of the penalty area. Cudicini hurriedly played the ball. As a result, the football hit the chest of Didier Dirk, and then bounced to the feet of Torres on the right side of the penalty area.The Spanish golden boy didn't stop the ball, and directly stretched out his foot to shoot. The football passed through the wicket of Joel Luka, who came from the defense, and then flew straight into the goal.

Liverpool took the lead 1:0 at home.

"YES! YES!! YES!... GOAL! Fernando... Torres!!! GOAL! GOAL!! GOAL!!!..." The home commentator was so excited that he broke his throat and screamed on the live broadcast. .

Almost at the same time, the Red Army fans who were singing shook their arms and jumped up from their seats. The singing stopped abruptly and was replaced by a roar full of strength and animalism—"Fernando...Torres! GOAL! GREATGOAL!"

The shouts at Anfield are earth-shattering, and tens of thousands of people chanting a person's name together will make that person feel as if they are sitting on a cloud, as if they are about to fly.Torres was flushed with excitement, and almost dizzy, he rushed out of the crowd, ran to the front of the KOP stands, grabbed the guardrail and yelled at the fans, wantonly venting the pleasure of scoring.

The emotions of the Liverpool fans in the stands became even more excited, and the roaring faces were almost distorted by happiness. They had been suppressed for too long and needed a timely victory too much.Even though this game has nothing to do with winning the league championship, it is something to be proud of to be able to defeat the hottest team in Europe, hold them back, and break their overwhelming momentum.

"Big Mouth" Hodgson's character is the same as his nickname, arrogant and flamboyant. Seeing that his team took the lead, he couldn't hold back his excitement at the moment. He stretched his arms and made a flying gesture to celebrate his progress. The ball even came with a knee slide.Liverpool has an absolute advantage. This goal is what he has been looking forward to for a long time. This season, Liverpool has gone to the extreme. It is very common for Liverpool not to score.After the new year, luck played a large role in the team's embarrassing situation.If Liverpool once again staged the tragedy of gaining momentum and not scoring in this game, Hodgson may really only have tears streaming down his face.

Tottenham coach Redknapp kicked away the water bottle on the sidelines, and the abolitionist waved his arms, cursing in a low voice.In fact, Lao Lei's mood has been in an unstable state. He has experienced countless storms and waves. This situation is relatively rare. The reason is that Tottenham lost control on the scene. In the terrifying atmosphere of Anfield Stadium, Tottenham was rushed by Liverpool's long pass Hang's old-fashioned tactics played in a mess, and he was almost completely passive.When it finally regained a little disadvantage, the team's offense gradually improved, but the opponent scored the first goal.Fighting against a tough and iron-blooded opponent like Liverpool, although falling behind will not become desperate, but it is undoubtedly very difficult to get the situation back.

Joel Luka stood dejectedly in the penalty area, and the comfort of his teammates couldn't make the sadness on his face any less.Although the team's conceded goals cannot be completely said to be his responsibility, being hit by a wicket is not much more glorious than an own goal.Joel Luka has always felt weird in this game. Although he is tall, he has always been flexible on his feet, but here, he always feels that his movements are a little slow, and he will inadvertently slow down.

"What an annoying noise." Joel Luka cursed in a low voice. He attributed the crux of his abnormal performance to the huge singing and boos at Anfield. Maybe the home team will change state in this sound. It was brave, but for the players of the visiting team, it was an unspeakable torture.

Almost all Tottenham players have the same feelings as Joel Luka. Playing football amidst boos and singing, without a strong psychological quality, it will be extremely aggrieved.So far in the first half of the game, they have no good way to deal with Liverpool's targeted retro style of play. This seemingly outdated style of play that has been eliminated for decades is displayed by Liverpool, which is even more impressive than Everton's display. They are so powerful that they can only be beaten behind. Some players even began to doubt whether the head coach's tactics before the game were correct. They felt that if they did not make tactical changes, they would have no hope of winning or even tying the score in the next period of time. .

As the captain and core of the team, Mo Fei also has such doubts, but he is not the head coach after all, and he doesn't have so much time to think about the pros and cons of the two formations, and he can't find Liverpool's weaknesses so quickly, but this Sometimes he can only try his best to comfort his teammates, let them muster up their courage, hold on firmly, and never let the other party show their momentum. The fans all over the world know what kind of team Liverpool is. If you really want them to When they rushed up, mountains of knives and sea of ​​fire could not stop them.

"It was just an accident! Don't be discouraged! They are only one goal ahead, we will definitely be able to equalize!" Mo Fei almost yelled the same words to his teammates one by one.

He also used a sarcastic tone to stimulate the fighting spirit hidden in the hearts of his teammates: "Brothers! This is Anfield! It's not fucking hell! If you think you are a man with two balls, don't fuck your feet here Get weak and fight them! There are too many teams that lose here, and we will be the one that wins!"

Mo Fei's roar was full of power, which made his teammates sober up a lot, and his slightly sarcastic attitude was more like a kind of contempt, a kind of arrogance, a kind of no matter how powerful or difficult the opponent is A dismissive gesture, which is a sign of confidence.

Undoubtedly, this kind of arrogant attitude is very suitable for Tottenham players who are in a state of despair. After hearing Mo Fei's encouragement, although there is still a trace of sadness on the faces of many players, their sluggish expressions have improved a lot.

Mo Fei sighed faintly. He knew that although his words had restored the morale of his teammates, it was not a long-term solution. Practical actions must be used to strengthen the team's belief in fighting to the end.

In the few minutes after Liverpool's goal to the end of the first half, Liverpool launched a more ferocious attack, trying to seal the victory while the iron is hot.At this time, Mo Feixiang used his actions to prove to his teammates that his self-confidence is not blind. Even in the terrifying Anfield stadium, he also has the right to be proud.

Could it be that Liverpool retreated from the frontcourt to the midfield when Liverpool's offense was the most violent? Although his defensive ability is not very good, his range of activities is extremely wide, and he uses active running and fighting to block the opponent's advance. If he is repeatedly broken through by the same player, he will persevere in turning around and posting it again.Could it be that this kind of stalking trick helped Tottenham's defense relieve the pressure to a certain extent? Driven by him, other Tottenham players also tried their best to follow in the midfield and there was a burst of "mad dogs grabbing food". ".

In offense, only Mo Fei can cause a little trouble for Liverpool's defense with his outstanding personal ability.Rufeng's speed and sharp breakthrough caused Liverpool's defensive players a headache. Although he did not break Liverpool's defense, it gave his teammates a breathing space and stabilized Tottenham's precarious situation.Tottenham were able to drag the game to the end of the first half without allowing the opponent to score again. Most of the credit should be attributed to Mo Fei's active performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and there was thunderous applause at the Anfield Stadium. While waving to the fans, the Liverpool players walked towards the locker room with their heads held high like soldiers returning from victory. .In the first half, the invincible leader was turned into a little sheep at the mercy of others, and the Liverpool players were in an extremely comfortable mood.Their steps were brisk, their faces were full of smiles, and their bodies seemed to be floating.

The footsteps of the Tottenham players were extraordinarily heavy, and the applause and laughter that filled every corner and every inch of the turf seemed to be a satire and insult to them.In fact, it is not a disgrace to lose at Anfield. There are only a handful of teams that can win at this stadium. Under the circumstances of the difference, not only the score is behind, but the scene is also ugly, which makes the Tottenham players feel a little uncomfortable, especially when they see the Tottenham fans still standing up and shouting for them infatuatedly. While cheering, the Tottenham players all had the idea of ​​"face Jiangdong's elders without face" and wanted to escape back to the locker room as soon as possible.

When the goal of the visiting team's locker room was pushed open, the Tottenham players were surprised to see Redknapp, because although Redknapp is not a gentle gentleman, he has never pushed so rudely. through the door.At this moment, the Tottenham coach's face was ashen, and his staring eyes were like copper bells, staring coldly at every Tottenham player present.
