Hodgson stood on the sidelines, his face even more bitter and bitter.

He knows very well that in the case of 0:0, Fulham played so hard, and now it has become 0:1 Liverpool, allowing Liverpool to take the initiative, and it has become even more difficult for his team to win.

…………

Sure enough, Liverpool played more steadily in the next game. They did not take the initiative to attack, and the counterattack mainly relied on Torres. The other players were based on defense.

45 minutes into the first half, the referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half.Although Fulham played extremely beautiful data in the first half, they took ten shots in the half!However, there were only two shots within the range of the goal frame, both of which were resolved by Reina.

Liverpool had only three shots, and only one shot was within the range of the goal frame, but it was just this one that rewrote the score of this final.

Hodgson was determined to make a change. Not long after the start of the second half, he replaced Zamora, who was in poor form in the game, with American international Dempsey in two minutes.

…………

Ian Wright commented: "Zamora's state is not generally bad today, and he touched his right knee many times in front of the camera. He must have played with an injury today, which also greatly reduced his state. Use Deng It would be a good choice for Pussy to replace him, after all, forcing Zamora to stay on the football field will not help the team's offense, and it may also cause players to be injured."

"The 27-year-old Dempsey is the attacking core of the U.S. soccer team. In the South African World Cup qualifier, Dempsey created the fastest goal for the United States in the World Cup qualifier against Barbados, opening just 53. In addition, Dempsey scored five goals in [-] appearances for the U.S. Soccer National Team in the qualifiers, helping the United States break through the qualifiers and enter the World Cup."

Martin Taylor also recognized Ian Wright's comments, saying: "I believe Dempsey will bring different changes to Fulham after he plays!"

…………

Sure enough, after Dempsey came on the field, Fulham's attack in the midfield was a little more energetic. In the No. 604 minute of the game, Fulham scored a goal!
At that time, Fulham took a corner kick, and Dempsey and Boateng jumped up to fight at the same time, but neither side could control the football well in the air. Although Boateng touched the football, he was reluctant, and the football did not leave the penalty area.Simon Davidson volleyed near the penalty spot, and at least four Liverpool players lifted their feet to block, but the ball miraculously passed the block of the first three and hit the toe of No.4 blocked Insua , a change of direction occurs.

Originally, Reina had made a correct save, but when Insua touched the football with his toe, Reina was helpless.He could only watch helplessly as the football passed over him and flew into the goal at an unpleasant speed.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! Wonderful shot! The unyielding Fulham equalized the score! This is a magical goal!" Ian Wright was very happy and excited. He supported Fulham.

Although this goal has a lot of luck in it, it does not prevent Fulham from rewriting the score to 1:1.

Ian Wright said triumphantly: "I just said that in the field of 4-4-2, Hodgson is not a star and a half better than Levi. The gap between the two of them is like Persian soldiers and three hundred Spartan warriors." So big!"

Martin Taylor also said: "Although on the surface this goal is very accidental, if it wasn't for the relaxation of the Liverpool players' mentality after the goal, how could Fulham have so many corner kicks? So now This goal."

…………

The Fulham fans at the scene jumped and jumped. They first sang the team song, and then collectively shouted the championship slogan: "Reversal! Reversal!"

Massive.

If you close your eyes and just listen to the sound, you will definitely have the illusion of returning to the ancient battlefield.

The Fulham players were also very excited after the goal. Simon Davidson responded to the fans' demands by raising his right hand high and holding up two fingers.

The general idea is to score two goals!
That made the Fulham fans even happier, and their sound was taken up a notch immediately.

…………

The reporters in the media seats breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, I knew that Li Wei would definitely regret his 4-4-2 formation! Hodgson's substitution immediately had an immediate effect!"

"Look at Li Wei's face, he must be very bad now!"

"Who said no! Huh? He's about to change, no doubt he's scared!"

…………

When the Fulham players were celebrating wantonly, Li Wei immediately made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Insua with Vidal, and Vidal went to play as a left back.

Insua's performance in this game was very average. Although the responsibility for Simon Davidson's goal was not on his head. After all, he just made an action that a defensive player should do. A breakthrough is the only way to score this time.

The young Argentine left-back's performance is not stable on the big scene, and this is also a common problem of young players. If they are too nervous and want to express themselves too much, the result will be worse.

In addition to strengthening the defense of the left back, Li Wei also asked Vidal to convey an important message to the Liverpool players on the football field-attack!
In the previous games, Liverpool spent most of their time on defense, even if they were attacking, they were not aggressively attacking, only a few players in the frontcourt were doing small cooperation.

This has also attracted criticism from many commentators, who believe that Levi has lost Liverpool's wealthy temperament.Facing the grassroots team Fulham, they didn't even have the courage to attack!

It's not that Li Wei doesn't want to attack, but he knows that in a situation like the final, the intensity of the game is completely different from the intensity in the league.Usually in the league, if Fulham is one goal behind Liverpool, they will definitely not fight like this, because the worst thing they can do is to lose three league points.But if they don't fight in this game, they will lose a European championship trophy!
If Liverpool attack recklessly, it won't take long, the players' physical strength will be almost exhausted in about 70 minutes of the game.But if the attack is launched now, it will be different.

Fulham's physical strength has been consumed a lot in the previous offense. On the contrary, Liverpool's physical strength in defense is much less than that of Fulham. They put away their fists, slowly build up their strength, and prepare to throw a strong punch. .

Now that the game is about two-thirds in, it's time for Liverpool to shake their fists and let Fulham know that although Liverpool is down and out, he still deserves the title of giant!
