With Nzozi's shot and Gameiro's shoulder deflection goal, the entire St. Jacobs Park stadium rang out with deafening cheers, screams, and shouts from Sevilla fans.
The Sevilla coach and substitute players on the sidelines also rushed into the field excitedly and celebrated wildly with their teammates on the field. They celebrated their last-second winning goal, which dragged the game into overtime.
Sevilla, who originally thought they had lost the game, came back to life and got 30 minutes of overtime. Moreover, being able to tie in the last second of the game would give Sevilla greater confidence and courage to persist in the game. to the last second.
This will add a lot of confidence and strength to them.
Sevilla was really like the European Emperor in the Europa League final. Like an unbeatable little power, Liverpool's three leads were equalized by the opponent.
Among them, there was an own goal and a deflection goal. Who can I ask to explain this?
The commentators in England all said in frustration:
"Oh, the ball is in!"
"The goal actually went in!"
"According to the direction of Nzozi's shot, goalkeeper Mignolet has actually made a save reaction, and the angle is not tricky. There is a high probability that Mignolet will be able to save the ball."
"Unexpectedly, the ball hit the shoulder of Sevilla forward Gameiro, who turned to avoid it. It formed a deflection ball and caught Mignolet off guard. He could only watch the ball go into the net."
"The referee signaled that the goal was valid and then blew the whistle for the end of regular game time."
"It was a real last-second goal that tied the score for Sevilla."
"Now the score between the two sides has become 3-3. After a short break, it will enter overtime and then it will be a hard battle."
"There is a huge difference in morale between the two sides now. I don't know if the Red Army can withstand Sevilla's attack."
Indeed, this goal frustrated the Red Army soldiers who thought they had won the championship. Even Villard couldn't help but stretch out his hand and slap his forehead, silently asking the sky, why is Seville so helpless?
The other team members were even more depressed and felt very powerless.
In this game, Liverpool played to its normal level. According to normal strength comparison, Liverpool can definitely win. Regardless of the ball possession rate, the number of threatening attacks, the number of shots, the number of hits on the goal frame, etc., the Red Army has an all-round performance. Dominate.
As a result, Sevilla just relied on one of its own goals, an own goal, and a line ball to equalize the score in the last second of regular time.
How can Seville not make people feel powerless like this?
No wonder Liverpool's players are dejected.
But the game had to go on, and there was still overtime, so Klopp could only go forward and call everyone together, while asking everyone to replenish water and encourage everyone to continue to play in overtime.
"The regular game time is over. Although it is a pity to be equalized by the opponent's deflection goal at the last second, this is already a thing of the past."
"Now you think about it this way, we are now back on the same starting line, let's play for another 30 minutes."
"Have you ever fallen behind each other during regular time?"
Everyone said: "No!"
Klopp nodded and said:
"That's it. No matter what, we are still stronger than each other."
"As long as we play as usual, we will always be invincible."
"And once luck doesn't take care of Sevilla, they won't even be able to equalize the score."
"Continue to play at our own pace in overtime and don't let the opponent lead us by the nose."
"This is already the last game of the season. Don't skimp on your physical fitness. Run hard. Not only must you press Sevilla in an all-round high position, but you must also continue to invest most of your strength in the attack. , conduct a multi-point offense and don’t rely on Velarde alone.”
"If everyone relies too much on Velarde, the opponent's defense will be targeted. Even Velarde can't score several goals every time."
"As long as the attack points are dispersed, it will be difficult for the opponent to guard against them."
"We once performed the Miracle in Istanbul even when we were three goals behind in the Champions League final. Now, not to mention that we have always been the leading side, so we shouldn't be afraid of Sevilla."
"Everyone must believe that the championship belongs to the Red Army in the end."
At this point, Klopp raised his voice and said: "Do you have confidence?"
Everyone immediately responded in unison: "Yes!!!"
On the other side, Sevilla also finished mobilizing for overtime and after resting for a while, the overtime game officially began.
Fans will continue to suffer.
After the overtime started, despite Klopp's mobilization, the Red Army players were still somewhat low in morale and in poor condition. They could only try their best to limit Sevilla's offense by running and fighting.
Sevilla, on the other hand, looked very impressive thanks to the last-second equalizer. They believed that the goddess of luck would continue to favor them today, making their title of King of the Europa League more worthy of the name.
However, Sevilla does not have a superstar like Willard. Even if someone occasionally breaks out and forms a breakthrough, it is difficult to move forward and shoot towards Liverpool's goal.
Due to its own strength, Sevilla does not have a superstar who can complete a one-stop breakthrough and score, and the ordinary passing and cutting cooperation appears to be fragmented under the high-position press of the Liverpool players who spare no effort in physical strength. Once luck does not take care of them, they will fail. Unable to form a truly effective shot and threat.
As time went by, when the Liverpool players gradually focused all their attention on the game and no longer thought about Sevilla's last-second equalizer and unbeatable luck, everyone began to perform normally.
Then, when they got the ball, everyone started to jump in and participate in the offense according to the situation.
After the first half of overtime ended 0-0 (total score 3-3), in the 113th minute of the second half, Liverpool, who performed normally, finally allowed Sevilla to see the Red Army's collective attack.
This is when the Red Army got the ball from Milner after pressing in the midfield, and then launched a counterattack.
Alan Willard, Alberto Moreno, Coutinho, Sturridge, Lallana and others turned around and rushed towards Sevilla's half, starting a collective attack with scattered attack points. sprint.
In the subsequent pass-and-cut coordination, Liverpool showed its best form, running and passing the ball at the same time, but never let the Sevilla players touch the ball.
In the end, Velarde rushed into the penalty area and jumped high. He received Lallana's pass from the right and beat Sevilla center back Rami. He flicked his head in the penalty area and hit the goal hard. The ball went into the left side of the goal.
Goalkeeper David Soria tried his best to save, but Velarde's ball was hit at a tricky angle. Soria was beyond his reach. In the end, he could only watch as Liverpool scored, extending the total score to 4-4. 3.
As Willard scored with a header, the Red Army fans at the scene and in front of the TV cheered enthusiastically.
But Velarde and his teammates on the field were not too excited this time, because no one knew whether luck would take care of Sevilla and allow Sevilla to equalize the score again.
After Liverpool finished celebrating and the game restarted, Sevilla launched a desperate counterattack. Everyone pressed forward and bombarded Liverpool's penalty area.
But this time, the goddess of luck failed to favor Sevilla again. In other words, Velarde relied on a more powerful system to defeat Lady Luck, who inexplicably took care of Sevilla.
Until the end of overtime and the referee blew the final whistle, Sevilla failed to tie the score for the fourth time and perform another miracle.
"The game is over."
"Relying on Willard's hat-trick, Liverpool scored another goal in overtime, defeated Sevilla 4-3 and won the 2015/2016 Europa League."
"Facts have proven that no one can win all the time, including Sevilla, who have unrivaled luck."
"Although they scored a tying goal at the last second of regular time and dragged the game into overtime, they still failed to win the game in the end. Instead, they were defeated by Liverpool and were unable to fight back."
"Although Liverpool lost the Premier League title, they still won the Europa League and the EFL Cup, which can be regarded as a cup double."
"Let's congratulate Klopp and congratulate Velarde."
"In the first season after joining Liverpool, we achieved such a brilliant record. This is an absolutely successful season for both Klopp and Willard."
"Let's look forward to Liverpool's performance next season!"
