Chapter 244 You'll Never Walk Alone

"NO! NO! This is impossible, how could this happen!" The British commentators looked at the PSV players celebrating on the field in disbelief, and the microphones in their hands kept shaking.

The moment the ball flew to the goal, Van Nistelrooy went from behind Stefan to his front, and hit the ball directly into the net in the air.Westerveld's neck just twisted along with the ball, and he didn't move anymore.

"It's unbelievable!" Huang Jianxiang said excitedly in the microphone, "Listen, all the fans at the scene are boiling. Before the game, Liverpool was regarded as the favorite to win the championship. From the beginning to the present scene, Liverpool did control the game. But I don't know what happened to the Red Army. At the end of the first half, PSV Eindhoven led by two points. This time, our goal, Bai Xiaotian once again contributed a lot. From scoring to confrontation to passing, everything is classic. Let us cheer, in the top European competition On the field, the Chinese players also performed so amazingly.”

The Eindhoven players were wasting time on the field, while the Liverpool players were stunned, at a loss.

If the first goal is still controversial, then the second goal is Eindhoven's real defensive counterattack.

The two generals in the backcourt even jumped and collided, but they didn't break the ball at Bai Xiaotian's feet. Instead, Bai Xiaotian sent a wonderful assist.Such a result is unacceptable to players and fans.

They cannot accept that their defender is so weak, nor can they accept that this Asian striker is so strong.Everyone cast their eyes on Bai Xiaotian, as if they saw a monster.

"Is Eindhoven the bridgehead of cosmic creatures on Earth? Why are aliens appearing here one after another?" Houllier looked at Bai Xiaotian who was pulled up by his teammates in disbelief.Although he doesn't look very good, his record is actually there.Even if he is overtired at this time, the first half of the game is about to end, and Bai Xiaotian will replenish his energy during the intermission.

"Boy, are you alright?" Seeing Bai Xiaotian's pale face, Fan Ni asked in earnest.

Bai Xiaotian gave the other party a blank stare, your poor condition is mostly caused by you, okay?

You score as long as you score, what do you want me to celebrate?I originally wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but was stacked up by you guys.If it wasn't for spending time in the gym, Bai Xiaotian might really be crushed by his teammates and pass out.

The first half soon ended with the whistle of the referee. Looking at the lowered heads of the Red Army, the home commentator couldn't help saying, "Liverpool has firmly locked in the runner-up this season, and came to the UEFA Europa League final with the momentum of two consecutive championships. But we can see from the expressions of the players that they have encountered a strong opponent. The Eredivisie giants are not made of dough, but an extremely sharp nail firmly nailed on Liverpool's road to the championship. Did Liverpool pull this nail out?" Or was it smashed by this nail? After 15 minutes, let’s reveal the answer.”

Eindhoven kicked out such a result, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Gretz felt incredible, because his tactical plan never had a 2-goal lead at the end of the first half.Some tactical arrangements were temporarily decided with the coaching staff after Ruud van Nistelrooy scored.But no matter how it changes, the style of play that makes Eindhoven players abandon their blind defense and send top players to attack remains unchanged.

Many years later, when the world recalls PSV, they will immediately think of Bai Xiaotian and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the short-lived but invincible striker partners.

After kick-off in the second half, Bai Xiaotian didn't attack immediately because he smelled something different in the air.

A faint sadness, an impulse ready to go.

After dodging Haman's desperate grab, Bai Xiaotian patted his chest with lingering fear, feeling lucky that he was not hit by the opponent.

Looking at the back of the other party, Bai Xiaotian murmured: "Sure enough."

At this time, a burst of singing suddenly sounded from the stands, a familiar melody.

And you'll never walk alone
You will never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You will never walk alone
"Listen, this is the team song that Liverpool fans sang at the beginning of the game - "You will never walk alone". When the team fell behind, Liverpool fans stood up, waved their flags, and cheered for the team. Tell the players on the field, you will not be alone, we will always be together." Huang Jianxiang picked up the microphone and pointed it at the fans in the stands, so that domestic fans could hear the singing in the stands more clearly.When he put the microphone on the stage again, he continued, "You will never walk alone! These fans in the stands, seeing the team's score drop, they feel lonely at this moment, why are they not lonely?"

In the Dutch Cup a few days ago, Eindhoven understood the meaning of the phrase "proud soldiers must lose"; now, they are using the strength of the whole team to fight against the power of "sad soldiers must win".

"Husky, Husky took the ball and hit the goal. Oops, this time it almost hit the goal frame!"

"Murphy, Liverpool's avant-garde Murphy took a strong shot from outside the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball was saved by Fréjus."

"Corner kick, Husky grabs the front point and rubs the ball into the middle. Hamann hits the goal kick on the ground and is blocked by PSV's centre-back."

Amid the loud singing of the fans, Liverpool's frontcourt players launched a crazy attack.As long as there is a little "work" under their feet, they will hit the door after a little gap.

"We can see that after the start of the second half, Liverpool players kept bombing PSV's goal. With the help of PSV's goalkeeper, defenders, even strikers and goalposts, they firmly defended the score. What Liverpool players lack now may not be a little bit of luck, but a hero, a hero who can stand up at critical moments."

Indeed, as Huang Jianxiang said, although Liverpool's forwards have already displayed their 120-point ability in the singing of the fans, they still have not achieved an inch under the collective defense of Eindhoven.So at this time, someone needs to stand up and break the deadlock.

Owen, known as the golden boy, was closely followed by PSV's defenders. As long as he got the ball, another player would come up to defend.

Physically, Owen is not tall, nor is he very strong.Therefore, Gretz adopted the tactic of "interfering with the opponent's possession of the ball", allowing Owen to be interfered by Eindhoven before receiving the ball, making stopping the ball a luxury.

Seeing that the ace striker in the team was frozen, the heads of Liverpool fans were covered with dark clouds.

Although they are still attacking and shooting, the fans can see that the Liverpool players are gritting their teeth and holding on.Collective support, as long as one person lets go, the entire team will collapse from this hole.Therefore, the Eindhoven players are also under high pressure to see who can't hold on first.

".Owen, Owen received a pass from Harman. Get rid of it, Owen got rid of the opponent's defender!" The British commentator shouted excitedly into the microphone.

As expected of a boy chasing the wind, he used his skilled feet to deliberately stop the ball on the way forward.Then, using the erratic movement and a momentary feint, Oye and Boulma overlapped and collided, thus pulling out the neutral position.

Owen, who dribbled the ball horizontally into the PSV penalty area, faced Kevin Hovland's supplementary defense, pulled horizontally again, and out of the way.Anyone can see that this top Liverpool striker, who has held back for more than halftime, is about to shoot.

Husky kept backing away, opening the gap for Irving.

Kevin Hovland also stretched his legs as much as possible to block Irving's forward path without fouling.

The staggering Owen finally straightened his body in an instant, and without hesitation, he kicked the door directly.

The Liverpool fans all stood up, not daring to blink, staring straight at the ball flying in mid-air.

"Michael get out of the way, hit the door!" The British commentator roared.

Such a half-high ball is not difficult for Fréjus.But it was a shot that Irving made very close to him, and the ball was fast.Fréjus could only choose to fall to the ground in an instant and hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

"Alas! The ball was once again blocked by the goalkeeper of Eindhoven." There was a little frustration in the voice of the British commentator. I don't know how many times Frejus has saved the goal of Eindhoven.

Some Liverpool fans also closed their eyes and leaned back, regretting the attack.

Just when all the players on the field breathed a sigh of relief, one person still tensed his spirit and body, facing the ball that popped out of the penalty area.

"Oh shit, Gerrard!" The commentator only had time to call out the player's name.

The ball was like a cannonball, flew over a distance of nearly 30 meters, and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Fréjus, who fell on the left side of the goal, only had time to get up to "think about it", and then saw the ball flying rapidly into the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Gerald! Steven Gerrard!" All the commentators shouted into the microphone again.

Only this time, the commentators gave glory to another team that had just scored.
