Chapter 160 Away goal is the key

This ball is very critical, it can be said that it can change the direction of the game.

Many fans of Union Berlin have already started praying, they hope that this goal can be scored and the total score will be moved to 2:3, so that they can eliminate Liverpool with an away goal if they score another goal.

Opportunity, absolute opportunity, as long as you seize this opportunity, Union Berlin will come back soon.

Edward squinted his eyes, and he was also nervous. This season, he very much hopes that the team can perform well in the European arena.To be honest, he looks down on the Bundesliga a bit.When he was not reborn, the Bundesliga was basically the league where Bayern won the championship, and there was no competitiveness. Now with Union Berlin, at most, the two will switch to each other. Other teams can only become spoilers. With the advent of the football era, the map of world football will become more fixed, and it is difficult for other leagues to make a comeback. What's more, these Bundesliga teams insist on 50+1. Without external intervention, a lottery ticket can cost tens of millions. Bundesliga teams use their heads to fight Bayern play.

Now this time is an opportunity, but unfortunately there was no team that successfully counterattacked at this time point in the previous life, but Dortmund almost played themselves to death, they made a lot of purchases in the transfer market, and finally did not enter the Champions League, the capital chain was broken ,The verge of bankruptcy.

Union Berlin has undoubtedly become one of the big devils of the Bundesliga. Although many people do not recognize the status of Union Berlin, the strength of Union Berlin is real. As long as they win a few more championships in the future, these people will recognize the reality. Union Berlin is a super team in the Bundesliga, and it is attacking the status of the giants.

Mourinho looked at the pitch, he didn't know who was going to take the penalty.

The penalty shooter is fixed, but Union Berlin's penalty shooters are all forwards. Although Villa is on the field today, he may not compete with Big Brother due to his character.

Yes, Union Berlin is not afraid that no one dares to take responsibility, but that there are too many people who want to take penalty kicks.

If it is really a matter of life and death, young people dare not take it, Van der Sar can even stand on the penalty spot. The current situation is that both Materazzi and Harvey Alonso want to take a penalty kick. Although Harvey Alonso He didn't step forward, but his eager expression had already betrayed him.

When he was at Real Sociedad, he was the captain of the team and the first penalty shooter, but he no longer has that kind of treatment after arriving at Union Berlin. There are too many players in Union Berlin who like to take penalties. Those attackers are absolutely unwilling to give up.

After Materazzi came, his status as the big brother was quickly established. At critical moments, he often stepped up to take penalty kicks. Other players have no objection to this. After all, they are usually taken care of by Materazzi. .

After some discussion, it was Materazzi who stood on the penalty spot, but Harvey Alonso still stood on the sidelines and waited for a chance to make a supplementary shot.

After hearing the whistle, Materazzi started a run-up and shot a heavy shot. His left foot shot was very fast, and the ball was already hanging on the net in the blink of an eye.

"Marco—"

"—Materazzi!!!"

"Marco—"

"—Materazzi!!!"

"Marco—"

"—Materazzi!!!"

The DJ brought the fans together and shouted Materazzi's name. Although he is a defensive player, he is also very popular in the team. Union Berlin fans like this kind of unscrupulous player. Mourinho It is also because of this that they are very popular. They are public enemies in the Bundesliga. If the coaches and players have no character, they will not be bullied to death.

Materazzi, who scored the goal, opened his long arms and embraced all the teammates who rushed forward. At this time, you can see how long his arms are, and one arm can hold three people!

This is also one of his wisdom. Those young players often find it difficult to run to celebrate alone after scoring a goal. This kind of thing rarely happens to Materazzi.Because he understands that only by uniting his teammates well can he maintain his status in the team.Materazzi also likes the feeling of trust from his teammates. If something happens, his teammates will find his position immediately. This kind of trust is a certainty and also a kind of responsibility. Not forgetting about it, he always leads by example.

Mourinho is also very happy about this. The old players of the team can play a role in passing and helping, which saves him a lot of worry.It's not without thorns. A few days ago, Van Persie took Sneijder to a nightclub to play and was caught by the "Berliner Zeitung". It was Edward who took care of it. That's why Van Persie didn't appear in the starting list today. reason.

There is also an interesting episode in the middle, that is, Sneijder is unwilling to say that Van Persie suggested it, and Van Persie is very loyal to take it all on himself. This was impossible to happen last season. At that time, Ah Sneijder from the Jax gang had basically no communication with Van Persie from Feyenoord. Sure enough, after Van der Vaart left, the atmosphere in the team became much more harmonious.

Van der Vaart's idiot is too short-sighted and always too concerned about his own interests. He is the standard personality of the previous generation of Dutch players. If he is allowed to stay in Berlin Union, Berlin Union may have frequent infighting like the previous Dutch team.

"Look, Eddie."

Jennifer Aniston happily took Edward's arm.

Edward looked back and saw his son looking at the field and clapping his little hands. Although he also understood that it might be just a child's random movement, after all, applauding when his team scored a goal was quite symbolic. Edward reported that the child was in his Shang directly kissed him, but he didn't expect that he would not give his father any face, and just opened his mouth and cried.

"Eddie, look at you!" Jennifer Aniston slapped him reproachfully, saving her son from his father's clutches.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry." Jennifer Aniston looked at Edward angrily while coaxing the child. This guy always likes to make his son cry, and he doesn't know why he is so boring.

Edward helplessly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Since she had a son, Aniston, a girl, immediately became a mother, and her son was the first in her heart. Even Edward was a little jealous.Aniston always fell asleep exhausted after dealing with her son, forgetting him as a pillow.

Sometimes families are like this. When there are more children in the family, many things are different.

--------------

After the penalty kick was scored, the morale of Union Berlin immediately rose.

Mourinho's arrangement today is very targeted. Although neither Kevin Dirk nor Villa are dedicated defensive players, they are very obedient players. You can often see this scene where the opponent breaks through them and chases them all the way. Through the midfield and cooperate with teammates to break the ball, this kind of positive attitude made the fans of Fossare Stadium clap their hands excitedly. No one doesn't like hardworking players.

"Dirk is really good, I think he can run 180 minutes."

"David is also very good, although his defense is terrible, but he is really positive."

"These guys are so talented and it's a relief that they're coming back like that."

When Liverpool got the ball, they attacked Union Berlin's penalty area again. Today Houllier arranged for the starting forwards to be Michael Owen and Baros. Both of them are not slow, but in front of Pepe and Ramos , they can't take advantage of it.

These two forwards are not the kind of forwards who are the fulcrums of the penalty area, so even if Houllier wants to play a wide cross today, he has no chance, unless he changes later and let Diouf or Heskey come up.

Pepe and Ramos' defense was very active, and De Jong was protected, plus Philip Neville, who was familiar with Liverpool, commanded the defense on the sidelines. When the game reached 15 minutes, Liverpool did nothing but take a long shot. .

Neither of the two speed forwards is particularly strong. They use their speed to make a difference.Union Berlin players are rarely thrown out of focus by them, and Owen and Baros can't find any opportunities at all.

The two of them have the same style, and there is no effect that 1 plus 1 is greater than 2 at all.

De Jong is also very targeted when defending. He knows that Baros is not as threatening as Owen, so he has been closely following Michael Owen. Michael Owen has almost no chance to perform, and Liverpool's two forwards have no presence. Feeling, that long shot was done by the midfielder.

Even Edward could see that Liverpool's tactical arrangement today was a failure.

The current situation is that they can't break through the middle, and the wing is not particularly capable. Originally, Union Berlin's wing defense was neither good nor bad. Evra and Alves can only be said to be quite satisfactory, lacking experience but winning Talented and able to run, but today it was replaced by Friedrich and Philip Neville. In front of them, there were Villa and Dirk desperately returning to defense. In this case, Liverpool don't have many options. They often let the ball pass back and forth at the midfielder's feet. When someone runs from the wing to pass it, whether they can pass it is entirely up to the sky. This kind of play with no technical and tactical value Appeared on Liverpool, they don't even know what the wide players should do after passing, they can only cross aimlessly, Baros and Owen's header ability is not good, they are completely trying their luck.

At the end of the first half, the score of the game was still 1:0, but the shooting ratio of the two sides was a terrifying 13 to 2. Union Berlin completely had the upper hand, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they continued to score goals.

After the start of the second half, Houllier really made a substitution, and Diouf replaced Baros.They have consciously strengthened their long-range shots, and it seems that Houllier also understands that a lead of only one goal is not safe.

Needless to say, Gerrard's long-range shooting level is still very good, but today Union Berlin has cast a steel line of defense in the middle. His long-range shots often hit the players of Union Berlin and then he was cleared by Bigfoot to let Union Berlin initiate fight back.

Union Berlin's counterattack only took Xu Ya'ao a few seconds to hit the front of Liverpool's penalty area, making their players exhausted. They were still attacking one second and running back desperately the next second.

After another 10 minutes in the second half, Houllier made a decisive choice. He replaced another defensive player. Liverpool made it clear that they were going to defend to the death. move.

But even so, the fans of Union Berlin were very dissatisfied. You are a rich team. Even though you set up the bus when you were leading, the Fusele Stadium was booed everywhere. Even the Liverpool players felt blush. The coach's tactics are real Too conservative, they felt very aggrieved listening to the yelling from the opponent's fans. They are a powerful Liverpool, but now they are huddled in their own penalty area at the home court of a newly promoted team.

But if they are allowed to go out to attack, they dare not. There is no way they can’t beat Union Berlin. Up to now, Liverpool players are still unwilling to accept the fact that they can’t play Union Berlin. No matter how much they spend, they can’t change this. The fact that Union Berlin are in their first Bundesliga season, this level of competition is a shame for Liverpool.

Although Liverpool's tactics are not very glorious, they are effective. Under the command of Carragher and Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield and back line have also erected two walls of sighs. Without it, it is difficult to break through this situation. Although they keep crossing to find Materazzi, when he himself is in the penalty area, he still looks helpless.

After waiting for 80 minutes, Mourinho finally had no way to continue waiting.

"After you play, let Sergio also go up the front line." Mourinho explained to Nesta that he plans to use up both substitutions this time. At this time, he can only fight. one time.

Nesta and Van Persie came on to replace De Jong and Dirk. This is a very risky way of playing. Counting the two defenders who played as guest forwards, Union Berlin has four forwards on the field at the same time, as if people saw Brazil in the last century. The 424 formation.

Liverpool saw this change, and naturally they would not do nothing. They gradually began to press out of the half, looking for opportunities to launch a counterattack.Union Berlin's defense seemed to have been tested a bit, but after Nesta came on the field and Pepe complemented each other, Owen still didn't find any chances.

In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Harvey Alonso made another long pass to launch a counterattack. At this time, Union Berlin pressed very hard across the board, because if they couldn't score a goal, they could only be eliminated.The referee frequently looked at his watch, there were not many fouls in the second half, and there were only 3 minutes of stoppage time.

Villa made a cross immediately after breaking through from the left, and he knew that there were not many opportunities left for them.Carragher headed the ball out of bounds first, and Union Berlin won a corner, which was their last chance.

Many Union Berlin fans are afraid to watch the game anymore, they are afraid that after this attack they will be eliminated from the UEFA Cup.

Edward's hands turned white, and he was also very nervous.

"Eddie, we're here."

Jennifer Aniston and Winona Ryder kept his arms from left to right, trying to ease his tension. Edward still watched the court. This corner kick is too important.

Even Van der Sar rushed into the Liverpool penalty area. If this goal is not scored, it does not make any sense for him to stand in front of the goal.

Harvey Alonso's corner kick was of high quality, and Union Berlin's superb corner kick coordination was once again shown, but the first one to hit the ball was none other than Van der Sar, the goalkeeper of Union Berlin!

Van der Sar's header was blocked by the Liverpool goalkeeper. In the chaos in front of the penalty area, Van Persie kicked the ball into the goal when he fell to the ground.

"Robin!!!!!!!!!"

Edward shouted excitedly, this goal saved the team.

The referee symbolically allowed the two sides to kick off again, and soon blew the whistle for the end of the game.

3:3, Union Berlin successfully eliminated the giants Liverpool through the advantage of away goals!
