Chapter 248 A Game Without Losers

"Liverpool attack, Hamann passes the ball and it goes to Gerrard."

"Gerrard sent a through ball to Owen. Owen seemed to be unable to run, and watched the ball roll out of the baseline."

"PSV attack and Van Bommel dribbles through."

"Faud received the ball and passed it to Bai Xiaotian."

"Bai Xiaotian shoots!"

"The ball hit a Liverpool player and was cleared."

"The accuracy and strength of Bai Xiaotian's shots have dropped a bit."

"After 90 minutes of fierce competition, the players on both sides couldn't run anymore."

"Perhaps the two sides had already saved enough energy before the game, but no one expected that the game would be so intense. Not only did so many goals be scored in 90 minutes, the game was also dragged into overtime. Now both sides are gritting their teeth, and it depends on who can't hold on first."

"Huh? Liverpool changed! Houllier played his last card."

Under the surprised eyes of the audience, Irving slowly ran to the sidelines, where Patrick Berger was waiting for his teammate.

"Patrick Berger, the Czech player was injured in the game against Leeds United in November last year, and then missed most of Liverpool's games. But after professional treatment by American doctors, Berger recovered in March this year and performed well in the FA Cup final. It was his assist that allowed Owen to score the winning goal in the final against Arsenal. Now that Liverpool's two starting forwards have been replaced, Houllier seems to be desperate."

Liverpool's two forwards are both physically strong players, so the Red Army's attack came very quickly.Looking at the defense that seemed to be torn apart at any time, Gretz hesitated again.

There is one card left in his hand, and it stands to reason that he should have played it long ago.But under the analysis of the coaching staff, if the team can survive to the penalty shootout, then it is also a good choice to replace it with a goalkeeper.

Such a plan was arranged long before the game, and it was originally a back move of Eindhoven.But looking at the situation on the court, Gretz began to fantasize about whether to end the game early.

The two sides fought each other for more than ten minutes, seeing that there was not much time left in the first half of overtime.

Gretz thought about it, gritted his teeth, and waited until the end of the first half to talk about it.

At this time, the ball passed through Van Bommel's through pass and came to the left.

Romedal had already run for most of the time, but he still gritted his teeth and chased the ball.

However, the loss of physical strength made Romedal slow down by half a beat. He caught up with Babel and fell to the ground with a shovel.

"Beep!" The referee whistled and stopped the game.

Eindhoven players immediately surrounded him to check Romedal's injury.

Falling to the ground at this point of time may be a real injury, or it may be a cramp, or it may be delaying time.

Van Bommel looked at the time on the scoreboard, came up to Romedal, raised the opponent's right foot on the thigh, and kept snapping his toes upwards.

"Oh, in the 103rd minute of the game, Eindhoven's left forward Romedal may have a little cramp. Gretz still has a substitution in his hand, but he has been reluctant to make it. What is he thinking?"

Not only the commentator was puzzled, but the fans of Eindhoven were also looking forward to the substitution.

Liverpool's substitution was immediate, and fans naturally hope that Gretz will also replace with a hero, a hero who can lead the team to the top at critical moments.

After Van Bommel and Romedal whispered, Romedal struggled to get up from the ground.With the support of his teammates, he stomped his feet and announced that he was fine.

At this point in the game, in fact, no one wants to be replaced by the coach.Anyone who can grit their teeth for a while hopes to persist until the end of the game.

In 1 minutes, Eindhoven got a free kick in a good position in the left front field.

"Oh! Eindhoven's free kick is in a good position, only about 20 meters away from the goal. The captain of Eindhoven still takes the free kick. Does he hit the goal directly or pass it in? Although Liverpool has many tall players, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Bai Xiaotian's header skills are very good, and the high cross is Eindhoven's usual practice style. Now we have to see how Van Bommel handles this ball."

From the position point of view, the ball is less than 16 meters away from the baseline.In other words, if the ball moves a little further to the middle, it will constitute a penalty kick.

Therefore, in this position, most free throwers who can kick a full moon scimitar will choose to attack directly.

But Van Bommel has already figured out who to pass, because from the current point of view, his teammate has not been at a disadvantage in the process of winning headers with the opponent.

Bai Xiaotian not only has a sharp header, but more importantly, he will also observe the position of his teammates during the header process. If his own attack position is not good, he will also ferry the ball to his teammates.In other words, letting Bai Xiaotian handle the ball in the opponent's penalty area is his ultimate goal.

Van Bommel heaved a sigh of relief and raised his right hand.

"Oh! Look at Van Bommel's run-up direction. He still has to choose to pass the ball. Who will he pass it to?"

Run up, kick the ball, and the ball pops up.

"Not good!" Van Bommel was startled.

After more than 100 minutes of high-intensity competition, even Van Bommel, who is physically strong, will inevitably feel weak in his feet.Although the ball was kicked out, he knew that the kick was too small.

The stiff feeling when his left foot touched the ball let him know that the ball would not reach the height he expected.In other words, it is almost impossible for Bai Xiaotian, who is in the mid-back position, to hit the ball.

Sure enough, after bypassing the two wall players, the ball directly hit Babel's forehead on the right side of the front point.

The German defender headed the ball and earned the first point.

God may have rolled over at this moment, or yawned.

The ball did not go out of the bottom line as Babel expected, but after he headed the ball, he changed the direction of rotation and flew directly to the goal.

Westerveld stayed where he was, watching the ball fly overhead, scraping the crossbar and hitting the side netting behind the goal.

Everyone was stunned, and the Eindhoven players who reacted directly ran to the sidelines with open arms, and the players who had already stood up on the bench also rushed into the field, and everyone embraced and yelled.

Some of the Liverpool players were stunned, and some lay down directly, covering their faces with their hands.Gerrard's hot tears flowed from his fingers, and he didn't want the fans to see his sad tears.

The entire Westfalenstadion was boiling, and the Eindhoven fans kept shouting the words "champion, champion".That's right, this moment is the moment when Eindhoven won the championship.

"Champion, Eindhoven finally won the championship!" Huang Jianxiang's voice was a little hoarse, "This game is too dramatic, and it will definitely be remembered in history!"

"The two sides fought each other in regular time, and finally the score was 4-4."

"But in extra time, PSV took advantage of an own goal from the opponent to kill the opponent."

"Is it a joke between God and Liverpool? Or is history as it should be?"

"In any case, players from both sides contributed such a wonderful game for us. It can be said that there are no losers in today's game!"
