Chapter 144 Chapter 158
The UEFA Cup received little attention, and even the finals did not cause much disturbance.Even less attention than the last European Cup Winners' Cup in 1999.

These days, Liverpool is no longer the overlord of the Premier League. Although it is still strong, its appeal has declined. In the past two years, a lot of resources have been consumed in order to support Owen.

As for Leverkusen, it can only be regarded as an upstart European team. It has just risen this season, and it has not yet won the league championship!Especially because of Lin Lian, he was very popular with the media, otherwise the attention would be even more embarrassing.

Westfalen Stadium, several German media, several European media, several English media, and the remaining dozen media are all Chinese media.

For the Chinese media, Lin Lian is more important than any star. He is the super representative of Chinese players and the super ace of the national team. Every child who plays football knows Lin Lian's name.

"Friends from the audience, players from both sides have entered the field. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides." The CCTV commentator is the passionate Huang Jianxiang, who has been fighting for this opportunity for a long time.

Wearing the costumes of the visiting team is the home team Leverkusen with countless fans. Lin Lian follows the captain Ramello and is still in front of Ballack. Therefore, we can see that Lin Lian's status in the team is very high.Huang Jianxiang randomly explained the player rankings.

For Leverkusen, the goalkeeper is still the German goalkeeper Bout, who scored two goals this season, one in the UEFA Cup and one in the German Cup, but Leverkusen was eliminated early in the German Cup up.

The back line was lined up without much change, Sebetzen, Lucio, Zivsevic and Placente.

The combination of midfielder Ze Roberto, Ballack, Ramello, Basturk and Snyder, and the forward line, Lin Lian served as the lone striker.

With such a lineup, like the semi-finals against Barcelona, ​​Lin practiced especially under pressure.

Top Müller on the sidelines, mouth pursed, obviously nervous, Houllier about the same, but they beat Arsenal four days ago to win the FA Cup with more momentum and more rest than Leverkusen After one more day, I have a slight advantage in physical fitness.

For Liverpool, the customary 442 formation, the goalkeeper Westerveld, the back line, the four-man group is a combination of Carragher, Hyypia, Henkez and Babel. Like Cousin, this line of defense is not top-notch.

The midfield four, the combination of McAllister, Gerrard, Murphy and Smicer, Gerrard is a little immature, but the wrinkles on his forehead have appeared, and there is still some depth.

The forward line combination, the golden boy Irving and the big Husky.The combination of one high and one fast, the Red Army likes this combination very much. In the future, there will be a combination of Suarez and Carroll, but the effect is average.

It's strange to say that with Lin Lian's performance and age, he should be a super golden boy. I don't know if his rise is too fast, and the media has no time to give him this title.

"Hey, Lin Lian, today I will score more goals than you." Owen smiled and shook hands with Lin Lian, a little provocative.

"Okay, then you may have to perform a hat-trick, because I will keep scoring goals." Lin Lian responded with a smile without giving an inch.

When Gerrard walked over, his palms trembled a little. Sure enough, he was young and inexperienced. In contrast, Lin Lian had experienced several finals, and his overall condition was really much better.

"Don't be nervous, Steve, you don't need to defend me today." Lin Lian encouraged Gerald.

Gerrard nodded heavily, as if he had heard it, hehe, he was really nervous!

The game started, and tens of thousands of fans in the stadium were shouting for Leverkusen. There was no way, Dortmund was not far from Leverkusen, and almost half of the fans in Leverkusen came to cheer for the home team.

There are also thousands of Liverpool fans, the cheers and roars are not inferior, and they began to sing never walk alone.

Liverpool belonged to the crazy team in the cup. After the opening, they immediately attacked Leverkusen.

Owen used his speed to connect with McAllister very well, and instantly found a shot opportunity and missed the post.Leverkusen is also a relatively fast team, and the counterattack is also fast.

Lin Lian knocked sideways, passed Babel, and landed in the middle.Basturk saw the time and advanced, took a step with the ball, and shot suddenly.

The ball was fast and urgent, and it was a little bit straight. Westerveld instinctively saved the football without moving.

"Just at the beginning, the two sides immediately entered the state and tested the opponent's defense respectively. Today's game has a fast pace." Huang Jianxiang was excited.

Generally speaking, on such an important occasion as the final, one has to try and test. I didn't expect that the two teams played cards according to common sense today.

The pattern of the game seems to be set, that is, crazy attack.Leverkusen and Liverpool did not give in, constantly attacking the opponent's defense.

In contrast, Liverpool as a whole is more mature, attacking the wing more methodically, and with plenty of strength, exerting tremendous pressure on Placente and Sebezen.

In the 13th minute, Carragher suddenly overwhelmed the midfielder, forming a short-term numerical advantage. He went down to the bottom, passed the ball in the middle, and landed at the feet of McAllister.

McAllister's feet are fine and he is a Liverpool winger assaulter. After receiving the ball, he doesn't need to go too far. He strides across the wall and hits the wall with Husky.

McAllister received the ball in the penalty area again, but Bout faced the shot abruptly and couldn't stop it.

Liverpool opened the scoring, 1:0.Liverpool took the lead, and McAllister was on fire, yelling at the fans, "I want more!"

Leverkusen quickly counterattacked, Basturk and Ballack passed the transfer in the middle, Snyder broke through from the side, and the two teams invariably chose to open up space from the side.

Snyder shifted in a wide range, and Ballack split the side again in the middle, giving it to Ze Roberto. Lin Lian has been lurking in the opponent's back line, very concealed.

Ze Roberto walked to the middle, Lin Lian then pulled to the side and changed positions, then Ze Roberto knocked back, and the football returned to Lin Lian's feet.

Lin Lian suddenly accelerated, throwing away Carragher, facing Hyypia who was pasting up, Lin Lian somehow flashed out of the shooting space.

Whoosh!
With a cold shot, the ball went straight to the corner.Westveld didn't even react, "Why did he shoot? What a special sense of rhythm."

Liverpool was a little flustered. Lin Lian equalized the score for the team less than 5 minutes after the opponent scored.

Lin Lian waved his fist in simple celebration.Then I walked towards the midfield with the football in my arms. The game has just started, and the exciting moment is about to come.

"Oh my god, less than 20 minutes into the game, Liverpool and Leverkusen have scored respectively, this game is wonderful."

The pace of the game has improved again, more shooting opportunities have been created, and the players have fully warmed up and become more involved.
