Chapter 609 Anfield's Singing Voice

When Longshut replaced Firmino in the 60th minute, there was a deep singing at Anfield.

"When you walk through the storm,
hold your head high,

Don't be afraid of the dark..."

Long Shute patted the frustrated Firmino and walked up slowly.

His speed is not fast at all, but it seems that he has an indescribable temperament that is slowly spreading around from his body.

"30 minutes left!"

"It's just two goals!"

"We're Liverpool!"

He slapped every teammate he passed hard, infecting their emotions with his calmness.

"Dejan, hold your head up!"

He eventually walked up to the two centre-backs and said to Lovren:
"Defend well, if there is a set piece, I will find you."

Lovren looked at him, then nodded vigorously.

The Croatian defender didn't know why, but after hearing a word, he felt much calmer.

Is this... the halo of a leader? -
"Long Shute played at the team's most critical moment, and he ushered in the biggest test after joining Liverpool."

Zhan Tianjun probably said this sentence when Liverpool played against Arsenal in the last round, but no one would object to his comment:

"Two goals behind, the general's red card, one less player in the fight, and an unbalanced mentality...Last season, Liverpool was the team that was most likely to collapse. The pressure on Long Shute can be imagined..."

No one is more familiar with this team than him, and no one is more qualified to comment on this team than him.

So Zhang Lu just sighed slightly:

"If it was Long Shute who was not injured, he would often stage a reversal on his own, but after a serious injury, no one can be sure whether his body can support that super load...

What's more...West Ham United, which is leading by two goals, will definitely set up an iron bucket formation in the away game. Can Liverpool find a way to score with one less player? "
-
"At the end of the storm there was a golden sky,

And a lark... sweet singing..."

The singing is still flying.

As analyzed by Zhang Lu, as soon as West Ham United coach Slavin Bilic saw Long Shute play, he immediately asked his players to collectively withdraw. Even the two forwards Payet and Sakho retired. In the 20-meter area to help defend.

Long Shute dribbled the ball across the middle circle. In front of him were 11 defenders. Forward Benteke was overwhelmed by the crowd. Even with Long Shute's vision, he couldn't see his black and hard body at all. ...

Coutinho was expelled, Firmino was replaced, and only Emre Can and Milner were left in the midfield.

Although they can occasionally score goals, in front of such an iron barrel formation, it is obviously hopeless to expect them to be one against ten.

Long Shute lightly stepped on the football with one foot and raised his hand to make a gesture. Milner and Zhan knowingly inserted into the ribs of the defense line from the two sides, and the two full-backs Gomez and Klein also followed the sideways Interspersed up.

"Through the wind, through the rain..."

Wind and rain may be able to pass through, but West Ham's defense seems to be really monolithic.

This is to tear open the line of defense and look for a pass. The players of the Hammers were unmoved at all, and even took advantage of the situation to continue to shrink a step. The three lines were almost completely pressed in the area of ​​​​the penalty area. Liverpool's The five players were suddenly trapped in a defensive force twice as large as theirs, and none of them could move, let alone find space.

"Maybe the dream will be shattered, but we must have hope and keep moving forward..."

Listening to the singing from the stands, Bilic shrugged.

What is the use of dreams?

If only relying on dreams... If we can move forward, our West Ham United will already be the overlord of the Premier League!
"you'll never Walk Alone……"

Then his eyes flickered suddenly.

He saw that lonely red figure stepping on the grass with his left foot, leaning his body slightly, and drawing an afterimage on the grass with his right foot!
"Oh!"

Long Shute's body rose into the air!

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky under his feet!

"Suddenly shoot from a long distance!"

"Long... Long shot!"

"And you'll never walk alone..." Although there are only five words in the lyrics, it takes at least four seconds to sing due to the slow melody.

Long Shute had just struck a pose when the first word came out.

By the time the second phrase is sung, the football is already in the air.

When the fans in the stands sang "never" along the inertia, the deep singing was completely suppressed by an unstoppable cheer!
With a distance of close to 40 meters, for the unattended Long Shute, he can really send the football to any position in the goal!

Especially... the two dead ends at the top! -
"The ball went in! It went straight to the dead corner!"

Zhan Tianjun clenched his fists secretly, and roared in his passionate voice:
"Less than 3 minutes after Long Shute came on the field, he used a long shot from 35 meters to win Liverpool back! 1-2! The suspense of victory and defeat appeared again! This game... still has to be watched!"
-
Bilic now has a problem.

There seems to be a big problem with his tactics.

All the staff are shrunken... It seems that there is no way to limit Long Shute, the top European sharpshooter. If he is not restricted, his shooting range is almost 20-40 meters in front of the goal. 30 minutes is enough for him to shoot himself. The defense line was blown to pieces!

But if someone is sent to restrict... is it to send one?Send two?Or... send three?

If you send someone...is it a striker or a midfielder?

Just as Bilic was biting his lip and thinking hard, another loud cheer erupted from the KOP stands!

Since the head coach did not change their tactics, the West Ham players could only continue to stick to the penalty area, so... Long Shute blasted their goal again with a second long shot!

2-2!

"Two long shots, almost from the same position, but the football flew to a different corner! Long Shute equalized the score for Liverpool within 5 minutes!"

Zhan Tianjun let out a long breath of depression.

Zhang Lu also showed a smile:
"The two teams have come to the same starting line again, but now it is West Ham who are passive. How should they defend next?"
-
Bilic squeezed the water bottle viciously and burst it.

He just thought for less than a minute and a half, why did his team concede the ball again? !

Is it a re-offensive?Or keep people to fight back?Or keep the tie?

Bilic's head is spinning, but he knows at least one thing.

So he threw away the exploded mineral water bottle, and pointed to Long Shute standing in the midfield:
"Keep an eye on that number 8!"
-
The style of West Ham United has been fully reflected in their nickname of "Hammer Gang". Once they want to play a tough defense, even Long Shute will inevitably be bruised.

After the serious injury, Long Shute was no longer willing to fight the opponent with his own body, after all, no one wanted to be injured again.

Two midfielders appeared beside Long, but they found that the football had been passed to Milner or Can.

Those who can limit Long Shute must be the defensive masters in the team. If they are involved by Long Shute, then West Ham United's midfielder is almost useless. With the size of Emre Can and Milner, others It's really hard to stop him in a one-on-one confrontation.

What's more, Long Shute is by no means a hands-off shopkeeper. After passing the ball, he can still use his rhythm changes to make room for the two-man defense, and then continue to take over the ball.

If you want to keep an eye on Long Shute every second, you need not only a high degree of concentration, but also the same strong running ability and reaction speed as him. Although West Ham's defensive players have tried their best, but... unless They really formed a ball and locked each other up, otherwise Long Shute would definitely break free.

In the 78th minute, Long Shute retreated to the center circle to catch the ball, and the three major midfielders of the Hammers forced him at the same time, wanting to launch a counterattack on the spot, but the Red Army No. 8 did not give them such a chance, and directly scored With a light pick, he breaks through the three-man press.

His breakthrough was not perfect, and his front was not flat, because the two midfielders of West Ham United had already thrown themselves in front of him.

So he decisively pushed a through kick, and the football passed the West Ham United's half in a straight line as if following the established track, directly piercing through the Hammers' defense!
Forward Danny Ince, who had just come off the bench, strode his legs as hard as he could, and chased after the pass that split the court.

Long Shute's pass seemed to take all his actions into consideration, as well as the opponent's reaction. The only one who could touch the football in this area... Ince was the only one!

Ince managed to catch up with the ball and took a stab shot before the goalkeeper hit!
3-2!

In the singing of Anfield, Liverpool finally completed the reversal!
