Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1322 Fish belly
Wembley Stadium, the stands are basically full of seats, and fewer and fewer fans are stranded outside. People with tickets have entered the stadium, and a few people without tickets are still holding a sign outside the stadium saying "I need a ticket." "The sign waited idiotically.

The players have finished warming up and returned to their locker rooms.

The head coaches of both sides are making their final instructions.

This is a semi-final, but the atmosphere is as warm and tense as a final.

Perhaps it was because the semi-final was also held at Wembley Stadium.

Martin O'Neill was standing in the locker room. The players had already changed their clothes and were waiting to play.

He decided to say a few words.

"First of all I want to congratulate you, lads. You've worked so hard to get this far. You deserve it at Wembley! But I'm not going to tell you 'go enjoy it' .Because this is only a semi-final. We still have a final, so you must win this game! To enter the final, you finally came to Wembley, how can you go back after only playing one game?"

"That's all I want to say, you just have to remember, no matter what happens on the field or what you encounter, you must win!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and let the players come out.

The reserve players sat up excitedly and poured out the door of the locker room.

When they finally stood in the tunnel, they were not able to chat calmly like those first-team players.Everyone looked at the entrance of the passage, as if the end of the passage was a fairyland on earth, which made them full of longing and anticipation.

No one chatted with each other, and no one looked around. Everyone moved in unison, all looking at the entrance of the passage, looking very quiet.

The Tottenham Hotspur players standing next to them looked curiously at the group of Liverpool reserve players.

They are not familiar with the reserve team players, because this is the Tottenham first team, not the Tottenham reserve team. Many of them can't even pronounce the names of the Liverpool reserve team players facing them. In the team, there is only Chen Yingxiong People they are most familiar with.

In the previous dressing room, their coach McClaren gave his team a must-win order.In fact, it doesn't take the head coach to say that, they will do the same.Because the strength of the opponent is really too weak, if they still can't win, they should really find a big enough tofu, and collectively crash to death.

When they learned yesterday that Liverpool had sent the full reserve team to play, they felt that the game had lost its suspense.So what if there is a hero Chen?No matter how powerful Chen Yingxiong is, he is only one person. Even if he alone can beat three, but we have eleven people, can't eight of us beat one?

It is said that Martin O'Neill made such an arrangement to thank the reserve team players, because they sent Liverpool to the semi-finals, so he wants the reserve team to continue to play the semi-finals.

Many Tottenham players can't understand Martin O'Neill's approach at all. For them, there are many ways to thank these reserve team players. Accept the cheers from the fans.

But this game still has to be played by yourself, otherwise what if you lose?
Although I don't understand Liverpool's approach, this is indeed good news for them. Liverpool has a group of weak chickens in the reserve team. Only one hero Chen is a threat. They can easily beat Liverpool and enter the final up.

Since Redknapp and Bell left, Tottenham's achievements have not been as good as before, and their ranking in the league is even hanging over their qualifications for the Europa League.

For this reason, they especially need this FA Cup champion, which is their only chance to qualify for the European war.

Against Liverpool, which is much weaker than them, Tottenham will not show mercy.No matter how moved they are by Liverpool's glorious act of humanity, they will not feel pity for Tottenham.

In their view, these reserve team players of Liverpool are already "dead".The victory of this game is destined to belong to their Tottenham Hotspur!

Chen Yingxiong felt that there was always silence behind him, and he was a little strange.He participated in many games. Before each game, everyone would get together and chat, just like going on an outing, and it was rare that they were so quiet that they didn't say a word.

He turned around strangely, but met the eyes of goalkeeper Brad Jones (Brad_Jones). He froze for a moment, only to realize that the other party was actually not looking at him, but... the exit behind him.

Not only Jones, but all the reserve players did this, staring intently at the exit of the player tunnel.

Chen Yingxiong suddenly understood, he smiled, turned around again, and waited for his appearance.

The chief referee and the surrounding assistant referees came up from behind, and after walking to the front of the team, he said to the two captains: "Okay, gentlemen, follow me closely, we are going to play."

Chen Yingxiong turned his head and shouted at his teammates: "Guys, get on!"

Every reserve team player walked towards the channel one after another.

As they got closer to the passage, the noise from the fans outside grew louder.

The afternoon sun shone on the field outside, turning the green turf into a snow-white.

This is the biggest stage, this is the best stage.The hero did it, he said he was going to be on this stage with us, how can we just come here and lose a game and then go home?

In fact, we know that the hero must bear a lot of pressure. When he wins, the glory belongs to him, and when he loses the game, the responsibility is also his.

Heroes help us, and we need to help heroes.

In fact, it is also helping ourselves, because after feeling the atmosphere of Wembley Stadium, we are really reluctant to say goodbye... We also want to play one more game, and we also want to be able to accept the award at Wembley Stadium Taiwan, take this trophy from the queen!

Who said we are fish belly?

Tottenham players are still dreaming of slaughtering Liverpool's reserve team in the semi-finals. In their view, Wembley Stadium is like a chopping block, and Liverpool is a fish on the chopping block. They can only be slaughtered by them, and they can cut them however they want, with horizontal knives, vertical knives, flower knives, cut them into sections, slices, strips, shreds, and finally minced meat, even the bones. Give mince mince melt...

Then we cook it into a big meal!
But they don't know what the Liverpool reserve players are thinking.In fact, even if you know it, you will probably take it as a joke, because the Liverpool reserve team, a big team, would want to beat us Tottenham?I really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!Ha ha ha ha!

Of course, they don't know.

So they didn't laugh, but the contempt in their hearts didn't decrease in the slightest.

But not long after the game started, the Tottenham Hotspur players suddenly discovered that the performance of the Liverpool reserve team was not as they thought...

The opponents they thought would be easy to deal with, turned out to be quite tenacious!

Martin O'Neill is well aware of the strength of Liverpool's reserve team. If they press out and attack their opponents, they will die miserably in the end.

Therefore, the tactics he formulated for this game were to defend and counterattack with limited troops.

Most players have to hide in the backcourt to avoid the goal from being pierced.In terms of individual combat capabilities, such as Tottenham players, they can only win by numbers, so most of Liverpool's reserve team players have to defend and cannot provide much help on offense.

In the offense, Chen Yingxiong is a well-deserved assistant. He can provide him with help until there are only passes from the two wings, and the center will not go up at all, because the defensive task of the center is very heavy.

Neither Bale nor Sanchez was on the field, and the starting wingers in this game were Tony Silva and Marco Pelosi, both unknowns in the reserve team.

Their role is very important, that is, they are responsible for delivering ammunition to Chen Yingxiong so that Chen Yingxiong can fire with all his strength.

Both players have a certain speed and breakthrough ability, and the cross is also the strongest in the reserve team.

Martin O'Neill asked them not to control the ball too much, and to pass the football to Chen Yingxiong when he had the opportunity.

When the football hits the 30-meter area of ​​Tottenham, basically Chen Yingxiong will perform alone.

O'Neill's idea is to use tenacious defense to prevent Tottenham from scoring. Tottenham certainly would not have thought that the players in the reserve team would be so high-spirited and tenacious, so there must be impatience.When they get impatient, there will naturally be a lot of space behind them.

At that time, it will be Chen Yingxiong's chance!

Martin O'Neill doesn't trust the players of the reserve team very much, but he believes in Chen Yingxiong very much. He believes that Chen Yingxiong will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Tottenham...

※ ※ ※

Fifteen minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur, which everyone had been optimistic about before the game, had six shots, but none of them scored, and only two shots were within the range of the goal frame.

The score was still 0:0, Liverpool did not concede a goal.

"Liverpool's tenacity is beyond our imagination. They all recycle in their own penalty area. This style of play is not good-looking, but it is very in line with their strength..."

"Just keep defending like this, how can Liverpool win the game? Are they going to drag the game to a penalty shootout and beat each other by dribbling? The problem is that their goalkeeper Brad Jones is definitely not as good at saving penalties. Gomez, Tottenham's Brazilian goalkeeper!"

"I want to applaud Liverpool's tenacious players, but that's all. I admire their courage and spirit. The problem is that football games are not determined by courage and spirit alone... in the face of a huge gap in strength. , courage and spirit just make their failure look more tragic..."

Although the commentators were all surprised by Liverpool's tenacity, they were still not optimistic about them.

The Tottenham fans in the stands booed even more, expressing their dissatisfaction with Liverpool's retreat.According to their ideas, Liverpool should open the door for them to bombard, preferably without the goalkeeper, and let the Tottenham striker shoot the empty goal at will...
