In the second half, Liverpool replaced Finnan with Hamann. Carragher also took care of the defense on the right, and Benitez chose to fight against the odds.
After the end of the tug-of-war, Liverpool began to exert force.
In the 53rd minute, Liverpool made a wide movement on the right. Riise took the ball from the left and was blocked by Cafu. He got the ball and then moved into the penalty area. Gerrard's header was extremely tricky. The ball passed Dida and fell into the far corner. , Liverpool tied the score to 1-3.
In the 56th minute, Riise threw a sideline ball from the left. Alonso and Hamann knocked continuously. Smicer shot a low shot with his right foot in front of the goal. Baros next to Stam tightened his abdomen and let the ball pass. After passing, the ball went into the lower left corner, 2 to 3.
Two consecutive goals stunned AC Milan.
But Liverpool's magic was not over yet. Within 8 minutes, Liverpool started their third magical performance.
In the 60th minute, Gerrard broke into the penalty area and Gattuso tripped him from behind. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.
At this time, the camera showed the Liverpool fans in the stands. The fans were shocked by Liverpool's performance in the second half and hugged each other excitedly.
The camera suddenly showed George Li and Helen Black. At this time, Helen was already hung up on George Li with excitement.
England's commentators from Sky TV are none other than Andy Hinchcliffe and Mark Pugachev, as well as Kirsty Gallacher.
Fortunately, it was not Martin Taylor and Ian Darke who previously commented on the last round of the Premier League. When they were commentating, they described Helen and Wendy as female friends of Wallace and others.
"We saw the figure of Leeds United head coach George Lee in the stands. Leeds United led by Lee performed well this season and achieved fifth place. This is for Leeds United, which just avoided relegation last season. It’s really a big improvement. Um...the person next to me should be..."
Andy Hinchcliffe saw George Li wearing a hat and recognized him. Then he couldn't think of what to say for a while. After all, there was no news that George Li had a girlfriend. paparazzi in england
The only one who knows a little bit about the inside story is probably the beautiful commentator Gallacher. After all, Li George met Helen when he and Gallacher had dinner, and they went to eat fried fish together, but Li clearly said when introducing her at the time. It's the neighbor.
"Back on the field, it is Alonso who is preparing to take the penalty kick here in Liverpool, not Gerrard." Mark Pugachev took over Andy Hinchcliffe's words and began to talk about the situation on the field.
There were other people who were surprised by this scene, such as Michael Lee and Tony Wilson who did not watch the game together in Leeds, England. Michael was originally going to come together, but George Lee obviously didn’t want him to come, so he told him to let him come as soon as possible. Stay in the UK and withdraw funds from outside, but don’t release too much.
Mike Li looked at his brother, although he was surprised, but he still did as he was told. When Michael first entered the financial circle, George Li, who was still a minor at the time, gave him advice, such as which stocks to buy, when to stock gold, when to get some foreign exchange, etc., which all made Michael Li a lot of money. One stroke.
So this time George Li asked him to withdraw the funds, but he stayed in the UK honestly.
In fact, George Li just doesn't want Michael to be the light bulb. The subprime mortgage crisis is still a year or two away, but there is always nothing wrong with preparing for a rainy day.
Several other people in the Netherlands were also surprised. Olson stopped moving with potato chips in his mouth, the drinks in Charlotte and Wallace's hands spilled, and the beer next to them had just been poured out. Bill Ross squirting from his mouth.
"Who is this?" Bill Ross asked.
"Xavi Alonso," Wallace said, as the camera showed Alonso preparing to take a penalty kick.
"Shit, am I asking this? I'm asking who was hanging on George just now."
Olson and Wallace didn't answer him, but stared at Charlotte.
"What are you looking at him for?"
"My sister." Charlotte finally told Bill Ross the answer.
Ross was also stunned for a while, then leaned over and patted a few young men sitting on the ground.
"That's good for you. Don't worry about them in the future. You can continue to talk about your own affairs. Do you understand?"
Back on the field.
Alonso took the penalty kick and shot it into the lower left corner with his right foot, but Dida blocked it with a side save.
Seeing the penalty kick being saved, Helen in the stands screamed.
"Ah~"
But Alonso followed up in time and hit the top of the goal with a left-footed shot from the left post. Liverpool miraculously made it 3-3.
"NICE!"
Helen excitedly kissed George Li next to her.
George Li touched his cheek, and then looked around.
Fortunately, the broadcast screen was not shown to them this time, and all the Liverpool fans on the stadium were cheering.
"When you walk through a storm"
"Please hold your head high"
"Don't be afraid of the dark"
"At the end of the storm, there is a golden sky"
"..."
The Liverpool fans around George Lee and Helen began to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone".
Although Helen didn't sing, she jumped up with other fans.
Li George waved his hand to the big brother of the Liverpool fan next door, indicating that he would not do it. After all, he had already grabbed Li George's shoulder.
"Why don't you sing along?" Helen asked George Li after finishing dancing.
George Li looked at Helen in surprise. I came from the youth training of Manchester United and am now the head coach of Leeds United. Do you think it is possible for me to sing "You Will Never Walk Alone".
George Li pulled Helen over and spoke to her ear.
"I still hope that we at Leeds United can reach the Champions League final so that we can sing 'Let's Go Forward' together."
"You can advance to the Europa League final next season, and I will sing in the stands then." Helen responded loudly after hearing what he said.
After hearing this, the Liverpool fan next to George Li looked at George Li and wondered who this brother fell to the ground.
Li George quickly took the big brother next door to watch the game. Now it was AC Milan's turn to attack.
Liverpool's clearance was not far away. Gattuso tackled Seedorf. Seedorf's left-footed volley from 20 meters in front of the goal missed the left post.
George Li knew that if the situation in his previous life continued, he would not be able to score goals in the next period of time, and it would be delayed until the penalty shootout. So George Li is now thinking about whether his team will be able to get back the score in the second half when they are 3 goals behind in the first half if they encounter the same situation.
the answer is negative.
In terms of strength alone, George Lee feels that the current Leeds United may not be much different from the Liverpool on the field, but in terms of resilience, neither Leeds United may be able to compare with the current Liverpool.
Take the captains of the two teams as an example. Although Alan Smith has now completed the transition, after Mateo left and Kelly faded out of the main lineup, Smith will be the real captain of the team next season.
But you may not see Smith cheering for his teammates on the court when his team is lagging behind, or criticizing his teammates when their defense misses someone.
It's not that Smith doesn't care about his teammates. After a teammate is violated by others, Smith will usually rush to protect his teammates and argue with them. When the team falls behind, Smith will fight hard, and even if he gets injured, he will get up immediately and continue the game.
In general, George Li just feels that Smith lacks a little leadership.
Therefore, whether to buy another experienced veteran player next season or continue to train Smith to be the captain is a question that George Lee has to consider.
There is also the issue of attacking the core.
At critical moments in the team's game, it is also a question of which player to tilt the offensive focus and who to hand over the offensive responsibility.
Although Smith is the player with the most goals on the team this season, it is obviously inappropriate to give this task to Smith, because in George Lee's mind, Smith may have to move back in the future to play as a central midfielder or a central midfielder. It is the position of the defensive midfielder to fully utilize his impact and fighting ability.
Then the focus of the offense must be to choose among the frontcourt players, and that can only be chosen among Robin van Persie, Romedal and Grenjaer.
However, judging from this year's competition, the Danish double-edged performance, especially against strong teams, cannot shoulder the important task of being the core of the offense. Although the two can break through, their finishing ability is still lacking.
In Lee George's tactics, the wingers will take on more offensive responsibilities. He can even move the center back and leave the position and space to the wingers. However, Romedal and Grenchar obviously have the ability to finish the goal. What is lacking. Of course it is possible to meet the basic needs of George Lee, but in the future Leeds United will participate more in European wars and compete with strong teams in other European leagues, which is obviously not enough.
Then, only Van Persie is left.
"Ding~"
At Robin van Persie's residence in the Netherlands, today it was rare that Van Persie did not take Smith out to have fun. Instead, the two chose to watch the Champions League final together at home. The two had just had sex with a beer bottle.
"Did you see the leader in the broadcast just now?"
"Where, you are wrong."
The two of them were watching the Dutch sports channel. Obviously, the Dutch commentator didn't know George Li very well, so when the camera showed him, he didn't recognize him and just regarded him as an ordinary Liverpool fan.
"There was a moment before the Liverpool fans, the one wearing a hat, just before Liverpool took a penalty kick."
"I didn't pay attention." Smith was probably a little drunk and didn't see clearly.
"Okay, maybe I saw it wrong too. How could the boss be sitting among Liverpool fans?"
"Have other teams contacted you?" Smith asked his good friend. The two can now be said to be close buddies. Although Van Persie has only been with Leeds United for one season, their personalities are very compatible, especially After Smith and his girlfriend Dido broke up at the end of last year, Smith and Van Persie often went out together in major nightclubs and bars in Leeds.
One was nicknamed "Bad Boy" and the other was nicknamed "Young Perpetrator" in Holland.
"Yes." Van Persie took a sip of beer.
"Are you leaving?"
"Where? To Arsenal?" Van Persie raised his voice, "I'm not going. Will I be a substitute for Henry? A substitute for Bergkamp?"
"At least they can play in the Champions League."
"Leeds United can't play in the Champions League and we're just shy of the top four this year."
"Not leaving?"
"If you want to leave, you can leave. I won't leave, at least not now."
"Me? I'm the captain. I never thought about leaving Leeds United." Smith lay down on the sofa.
"Ding~" The two of them clinked the wine bottles again.
The game on the field reached the final stage of overtime, and Helen in the stands was already very nervous. She could not raise her hands, nor put them down.
In the 118th minute, Serginho passed a diagonal pass from the left. Shevchenko's header in front of the goal was blocked by Dudek. He stabbed with his right foot in front of the goal, and was miraculously missed by Dudek who fell to the ground. Block with your left hand.
Liverpool fans gave their applause to Dudek who performed well today.
"I really hope Dudek can be so brave in the penalty kick battle." Helen said to George Li.
"I think Liverpool will win."
"Why?"
"I called Benitez and Ancelotti and told them about us and they decided to sell me a favor."
Helen twitched the corner of her mouth, indicating that she was speechless.
Finally the game came to the final penalty shootout.
Helen was so excited that she didn't dare to watch the game with her eyes closed. George Li was right next to him telling him the results of every penalty kick.
When AC Milan missed the first two penalty kicks and Liverpool scored the first two goals, Helen had already tightly grasped George Lee's hand with one hand.
When AC Milan's last Shevchenko penalty kick was miraculously blocked by Dudek, Liverpool fans burst into loud shouts.
George Li leaned into Helen's ear and gently told Helen the result of the competition.
"How about letting the hotel give up a room tonight?"
