Torres' goal brought the game to a climax.
There is no draw for the two teams in this game; a draw means both teams are losers!
The players on both sides also know the situation on the other two sides of the field.
Manchester United won a big victory, Arsenal were temporarily tied.
In other words, Tottenham must win in order to win the championship; and even if Liverpool draws, they will be squeezed out of the Champions League by the Gunners due to goal difference.
When both sides returned to the same starting line, the game entered a fierce stage.
Martin Joel replaces Berba and brings Defoe on.
In the fierce offensive battle, "leak-picking" forwards like Berba can't play any role at all.
And this substitution means that Tottenham can no longer defend!
In the 68th minute, taking advantage of an attempted Liverpool attack, Tottenham suddenly launched a quick counterattack on the opponent's right flank.
Wang Xiaodong's long pass accurately found Bell, who was galloping on the left wing. Along the side corridor, Monkey King, who was riding a somersault cloud, ran wildly.
Before and after rushing to the penalty area, Bell slowed down.
He flashed left and right, forcing Carragher back. At the same time, he glanced at his teammates at the edge of the penalty area.
Bo~
Defoe, who rushed to the top of the arc, met Bell's horizontal knock and directly hit Shan Zhenhu with a powerful kick.
"Defoe~~shoot!!"
"Ah~~~"
"It turned out to be a beam!" Huang Jianxiang's face was full of annoyance.
"It was Defoe's first touch, but it almost opened the door for Liverpool again."
"Watch the replay again."
"This goal is such a pity. If it had been lower, it would have gone in..."
But Liverpool didn't have the time to experience the feeling of fear.
Reina placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area and passed the ball to the left.
After a series of direct passes, the ball found Gerrard in front.
The latter pushed the ball slightly to the right, and then started running quickly.
The Tottenham player closest to the ball is Modric in the center.
Although there were not many personal collisions between him and his opponents, his running never stopped.
In the entire midfield defense, only Modric can relieve Wang Xiaodong some of the burden.
But this time, Modric stretched out his foot desperately, but still failed to touch the ball rolling past him.
Fortunately, Modric was no ordinary person. He gritted his teeth and chased after the ball.
Mascherano, who responded, was also very talented. He immediately extended his legs, shifted his body weight sideways, and blocked Modric with half of his body.
Even with all his abilities, Modric could only stop when he saw this.
Just like that, the young Croatian froze.
Taking advantage of Modric's acceleration, Mascherano pushed him with his butt and used the force of the recoil to break away from his opponent.
As Ma Ke moved forward with the ball, other Liverpool players quickly stepped in.
Perhaps because there were too many defensive players in Tottenham's penalty area, Ma Ma finally chose to throw a diagonal kick at the center near the top of the arc and pass the ball to his most trustworthy teammate.
boom!
Gerrard counterattacked his opponent with a long shot.
Cerny's eyes were about to burst and he met the ball with one palm.
Finally, at the moment when the ball flew into the net, the ball was lifted out of the baseline.
Oh hi~~~
There was a cry from the visiting team's stands.
Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans sat together and lamented again and again.
If Tottenham hadn't suddenly emerged this season, how could the Premier League have seen such a strange scene?
When the game reached 75 minutes, Tottenham had used up all three substitutions.
Liverpool also replaced two forwards in a row.
At this moment, Liverpool suddenly launched a powerful attack.
Regardless of his own safety, Gerrard withstood the danger of his opponent's leg being tackled and passed the ball from the right.
The ball was spinning in the air. Cerny stared at the ball and gave it away.
The Tottenham goalkeeper jumped hard after the penalty spot and hit the ball out of the penalty area with a single punch.
The next second, Torres quickly stepped in to meet the ball outside the penalty area, and flew directly to the ball that bounced in front of him.
The ball flew close to the ground towards the goal. Before Cerny could get up from the ground, Woodgate stretched out his leg and barely blocked the ball.
However, Finnan, who was newly replaced, seemed to be going crazy, pushing Chimbanda away and rushing towards the ball.
When Wang Xiaodong saw this, he gritted his teeth and bumped into him from the side.
Bang!
Squeak!
The two people's shoulders collided together, and you could even hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
Although Finnan, who is 1.83 meters tall, is half as tall as Wang Xiaodong, he is better because of his abundant physical strength; and Wang Xiaodong also feels upset today for some reason.
Although I don't have the occasional sudden symptoms of angina or shortness of breath like before, I still feel uneasy and always feel that something bad is going to happen.
In addition, after running for nearly eighty minutes, I was already one step behind.
Wang Xiaodong gasped and squeezed his opponent with his shoulders desperately.
Huchi, wheeze~~~
Wang Xiaodong was breathing heavily, and a voice always appeared in his mind, telling him never to admit defeat!
We have been working hard for two seasons, and this time we are so close to the championship. Do we have to watch the duck fly?
The fans cannot accept this ending, and neither can I!
Thinking of this and seeing that the ball was about to fall into the hands of his opponent, Wang Xiaodong gritted his teeth and jumped forward at the risk of injury.
puff!
The rolling ball flew out of the sideline under Wang Xiaodong's sliding shovel.
Before Finnan fell, his entire body was pressed against Wang Xiaodong.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle sounded.
All the players looked towards the referee, nervously waiting for the trial.
"It's a foul ball!"
"The referee thought it was a good shot!"
"Wang Xiaodong tackled the ball first!"
Zhan Jun explained hurriedly.
Looking at the slow-motion replay, it turned out that Wang Xiaodong kicked the ball away first, and then both he and Finnan fell to the ground.
After the Liverpool players protested to no avail, they could only walk out of bounds angrily.
"Huh~~huh~~~huchi, huchi~~~"
After everyone pulled Finnan away from Wang Xiaodong, what they saw was the rising and falling chest.
"DONG, how are you?"
"DONG, are you okay?"
"DONG, this is not like you normally..."
After saying this, Huddlestone also closed his mouth.
Of course not like the usual DONG!
Wang Xiaodong has been running for a season.
He has been a regular for Tottenham all season, leading the charge for Tottenham.
Continuous running, exhausting steals, countless collisions...
After two seasons, no matter how strong Wang Xiaodong is, he will inevitably fall into fatigue.
In addition, he ran for a full 120 minutes in the Champions League semi-finals, and was sent directly to the hospital due to a head impact.
In this game, Wang Xiaodong even played injured. After playing for half a point, he was left with one less player...
It is already very difficult for Wang Xiaodong to still make a coherent and complete tackle.
Isn’t it unconscionable to say that he is different now?
Wang Xiaodong ignored these.
He rubbed his stuffy chest and pushed his teammates aside.
"Look at people, stare at people!"
Wang Xiaodong roared loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the annoyance in his chest, and he wished he could scatter the dark clouds in the sky piece by piece.
