I am a giant in football

Chapter 154 Goodbye Captain Gerrard

"The king of the restricted area... the king of the restricted area... the king of the restricted area..." In the Palamo Lane stadium, the endless screams made Gnabry enjoy the love of the fans.

This is like a king crowned with a crown, and the enthusiasm is instantly ignited.

Gnabry kept pointing his hand to the sky, representing that he can do all things about scoring goals.

In his roar, there is dissatisfaction, confidence to win, and the indomitable spirit and will of Sheffield United in the face of adversity.

"Hey..." Rodgers sat on the bench and sighed for a long time, looking at Gnabry who was celebrating on the field, full of endless unwillingness.

He even thought that if it wasn't for the coercion of the team management, there might be a chance for this game, and he wouldn't lose the initiative so quickly!

At this moment, Rodgers knew that they had already lost, and there was no chance again. Once the players lost confidence, it was basically impossible to unite again.

If this is only the first half of the game, then through the intermission, the players will still have a chance to rise again through guidance and encouragement, but this is a two-goal lead that has been reversed.

All the edge is cut off, everything is too late.

[The 72nd minute of the game] Rogers replaced the Red Army's eternal captain Gerrard with No. 24 Joe Allen. When the No. 8 jersey slowly ran to the sidelines.

Both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV understand that another legend has left the FA Cup forever.

"Papapa........." The applause lasted for a long time, and more than 3 fans did not shout, just applauded silently, silently watching the man wearing the No. 8 jersey leave the field.

At this moment, even Ye Fei, who had just made it to the bench, stood up and applauded. This represented respect, and it also represented the reluctance of footballers to the end of a generation of legends.

"Gerald... this great name, No. 8... this great number, this moment is finally coming to an end." Smith's love for Gerrard is second only to his relatives.

When he was talking, he started to choke up a little, and he already lowered his head, not daring to watch the scene of Gerrard leaving the greenery.

"Yes! Gerrard has dedicated so many years to Liverpool, and it is not easy to end up in Liverpool."

"I think this is also the best explanation for all Liverpool fans..."

Dawson also said everything about Gerrard with emotion.

The full 1-minute substitution time is definitely a long process. Even the referee applauded silently when Gerrard was off the field. This kind of influence is absolutely unbelievable.

"Tick..." In the end, the game was normal, and a generation of legends left, which also announced the official end of Liverpool's Gerrard era.

On the field, Liverpool's rising stars Sterling, Coutinho and others are still fighting a trapped beast.

And Rogers didn't intend to give up the game just like that. He stood at the front of the bench and shouted loudly:

"Fighting...fighting...death is on the way to the charge!"

His passion and his words are useful to some young players, but for some old players who think more, this is not heard by them at all.

Still failed to arouse much effect on the field!

[The 80th minute of the game] The score on the field was still [3-2], and there was still no change, especially the simultaneous explosion of Salah, Gnabry, and Basham on Sheffield United, which suddenly caused a fundamental change in the field.

Liverpool's offense was directly suppressed, and several counterattacks had no effect.

This time, Ye Fei finally replaced De Jong, who had been warming up for almost 20 minutes, and this guy must have been suffocated as soon as he played.

It scared Liverpool's backcourt to trembling, and his ball-handling and dribbling abilities are good. Partnering with Ali in the frontcourt directly did not give Liverpool any chance to steal.

[The 84th minute of the game] Ye Fei replaced Zhashen and Zhang Yuning who was still not physically strong enough.

There is no way, no matter how hard Zhang Yuning works, his physical reserves will always be used up at the last moment.

For Ye Fei, this is also a good thing. Salah and Gnabry are really tough, and they can basically persevere to the end every time. This makes Zaldes can only replace Zhang Yuning if he wants to play.

It is impossible for Ye Fei not to cultivate such an easy-to-use striker, and Ye Fei is already preparing to transfer the 17-year-old Osmeen from the second team to the first team.

As a result, Sheffield United's frontcourt is really overcrowded, and Ye Fei has to start cleaning up some players who are not good enough, and create appropriate training opportunities for young players to play.

"Boom..." It was another long shot. Ali received Kanter's pass and chose to shoot directly. The angle of the ball was too high and flew out.

Finally [the 90th minute of the game] came, and just stepped into this point, Zaldes created a corner kick for Sheffield United.

"Run...run..." As the commander of the frontcourt, Ali called while moving.

"It's messed up...Liverpool's penalty area has been messed up. This time it's troublesome. Sheffield United may rely on this corner kick to expand the score."

Smith watched the commotion in Liverpool's penalty area and became a little nervous for a while. As a firm supporter of Liverpool, he certainly didn't want the team to lose like this. If the score is only [3-2], it is not impossible to equalize in stoppage time.

He is no longer imagining that Liverpool can win after the end of regular time. At this moment, his idea is to equalize.

Dawson beside him was clenching his fists excitedly. Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that this corner kick had already been scored.

"Boom..." Kanter's corner kick was taken, and the ball went straight to the penalty area.

Gnabry was the first to jump up in the penalty area, but the ball was not for him. He jumped up just to attract the defense.

Then, the next one was Salah's sprint jump. His jump height was very high, but he still didn't hit the ball because the ball was still not for him.

"Crack..." Finally, the ball was hit. It wasn't the commentator's analysis, but Ali, who many people didn't think of. This time, Ye Fei gave the chance to Ali, who followed him from the beginning.

"Shh........." There was a sound of friction between the air and the ball, and the ball spun and flew towards the goal.

After the first two temptations, the goalkeeper's energy and attention were almost absorbed. When he saw the ball flying over, he didn't react for a while.

Then the header ruthlessly pierced through Liverpool's gate.
