Green Dragon

Chapter 667 Deadly Counterattack!
Origi was a little unhappy.

When Sturridge left the field, he thought he could get a chance to play, but it was not him who was called out by Rodgers in the end.

Not even any striker.

It was vice-captain Henderson.

As for the striker position...it was taken by a guy wearing the number 8 jersey! -
"Rodgers' move definitely exceeded Pellegrini's expectations!"

Zhan Tianjun smiled happily:
"Long Shute changed to striker, which is equivalent to placing a nuclear weapon on Manchester City's defense. As long as he stands there, Manchester City's defenders dare not go forward and participate in the attack at will, otherwise they will be counterattacked by Liverpool every minute." Put on the line of defense!"

"Hey, from this small adjustment, it can indeed be seen that Rogers, the head coach, still has some ideas," Zhang Lu also laughed, "Of course, the premise is that he has a sufficiently intimidating player like Long Shute under him. "
-
Pellegrini watched Liverpool's players recede into his 30-meter zone like a tide, leaving Long Shute alone at the front.

But there was nothing he could do.

His team is not good at tough battles!
What?You said to adopt the most traditional long pass tactics?
Who do you let fight for the header?

You know... Aguero's height is as tall as his good friend Boss Mei!
Liverpool's two central defenders are at least half a head taller than the Argentine striker!
-
If it is in the league, Pellegrini is likely to make the team strengthen the offensive, but this game is the final after all, as the head coach, he has to be more cautious, otherwise he is likely to be beaten by the fierce Liverpool. A tragedy.

Otamendi and Kompany stood firmly at the end of the defense line throughout the first half. Even if the frontcourt was weak to attack, they did not rush forward. Be careful.

Liverpool retreated across the board, and it was difficult for Manchester City's offense to pose a substantial threat. In this situation, the game slowly progressed to the second half.

Compared with Rogers, who pretends to be calm, Pellegrini is of course more and more anxious.

When the Chilean engineer saw that in the 53rd minute, after Silva tried his best to send the ball to the Liverpool defense line, Aguero, who was single-handedly, slipped out with a low shot and slipped out the goal. Can't stop.

In the face of Liverpool's intensive defense, ground penetration is simply a dead end!
The Chilean, who has never been known for his boldness, made two consecutive adjustments in the 60th minute: the 20-year-old striker Ishinacho and the veteran winger Kolarov replaced Fernando and Clichy respectively. Step up the offensive.

But he was soon disappointed. The Nigerian teenager Ishinacho has a height of 187, but he doesn't like to rely on his body and central defenders to squeeze the space. Tubebel, as well as the fierce, impulsive and savage Lovren, he was squeezed out of the penalty area by Liverpool's two defenders bit by bit!

Aguero looked at this unreliable teammate and couldn't help shaking his head:

If you want to win, you have to rely on yourself! -
"drop!"

In the 82nd minute, seeing that Manchester City had been unable to attack for a long time, but time was running out, Liverpool even began to use the opportunity of substitutions to delay the time, and the referee Oliver finally showed his true colors.

Still from Silva's oblique ball, Aguero had the opportunity to catch up with the pass and enter the penalty area, but was touched by Henderson who retreated to help defend. The Argentine striker immediately hugged his legs and rolled again and again, insight Oliver immediately awarded a penalty kick!

"This is a normal body collision! I got stuck, okay?!"

Henderson complained aggrievedly to the referee, and Oliver, who didn't want to take out a yellow card, immediately gave him a yellow card...

"Calm down, Jordan."

Long Shute patted his teammates and comforted him.

Then he stood at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the system called up Aguero's career data.

His shooting habits, especially the penalty direction, height, strength, successes, failures... hundreds of data were sorted out in an instant.

High-tech plug-in is good! -
Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper Adam Bogdan is more nervous than ever.

Although the League Cup final was nothing more than a trivial game for Long Shute, for him, it was already the highest level game he participated in in his career.

As the second goalkeeper, if it weren't for the rotation promoted by Long Shute, he might not be able to get 3 appearances in a season.

Although he has played more than a dozen games in various cups and leagues this season, he is still uncontrollably nervous when facing Aguero.

Aguero...that's no ordinary person!
That is the only player in the Premier League who can score more than 20 league goals in five consecutive seasons!

When that man is serious about playing...even Messi can't let him pass the ball!
terrible!

Bogdan really wanted to concentrate, but his mind was still flying uncontrollably, and his vision was even a little erratic.

Until he saw the figure standing behind Aguero.

Bogdan couldn't help staring, he saw Long Shute's gesture clearly.

Pounce on your lower left corner?
Before he had time to think about it, he saw that Aguero had already completed the run-up, and then... he kicked the football!
Bogdan kicked his legs almost subconsciously, and he flew out sideways!

Jump to the lower left corner!

Aguero's face darkened instantly!
The direction he kicked... was his lower right corner!
That unknown substitute goalkeeper... actually held his shot directly in his arms!
How the fuck is this possible? ! -
Catch it!
"I'm invincible!"

Bogdan looked up to the sky and screamed, full of ecstasy.

He even saw Mignolet on the bench with a forced smile!
Now...you feel the pressure, don't you? !

"Adam!"

But before he finished his long roar, he heard someone calling his name not far away.

Bogdan immediately restrained his smile, swung his long arm vigorously, and the ball flew straight out!
-
"The goalkeeper throws the ball quickly...is this Liverpool's counterattack?!"

Zhan Tianjun finally waited until this moment, and he couldn't help raising his voice by three points.

In the previous period, although he has always been very energetic, he also knows that the game scene is not exciting. After all...Liverpool is really using a substitute lineup to play against Manchester City's main players, and wants to play with sparks. It's too much trouble for them.
-
Long Shute tilted his head slightly, let Bogdan throw the ball past Bogdan's hand, then raised his foot slightly, and took advantage of the situation to complete the movement before unloading the ball.

"Beautiful! This is the world's top unloading ball!"

Former professional goalkeeper Zhang Lu is absolutely amazing:
"When throwing the ball over 30 meters, most professional players want to stop the ball, and there will be a rebound action, only Messi, Iniesta, Neymar, Long Special... Such a player with a top sense of the ball can complete such an action that lifts weight lightly, watching them play football, even though it is just a simple action, you can feel the beautiful enjoyment!"

Zhan Tianjun added:
"What's even more admirable is that Long Shute completed unloading the ball during the high-speed start process, and it didn't affect him to move forward at all!"
-
It is probably not a particularly difficult task to stop the ball perfectly. If it is standing still, even Chinese players have a 1% chance of doing it, but if it can be done while running at high speed, it is much more valuable.

Long Shute not only deftly unloaded the ball flying from the side and rear, but also pierced through Yaya Toure's stop, which was even more shocking!

Next, Kompany's flying shovel also failed to stop him or the ball, because Long Shute rubbed the ball half a meter with his toes, and then dribbled the ball past the Manchester City captain!

The obstacle between Long Shute and the goalkeeper... only Otamendi is left!
Otamendi is definitely not a central defender who is good at squatting. He is better at intimidating his opponents with momentum, so he did not compete with Long Shute in the speed of retreating, but rushed over without hesitation!
His heart was like a bright mirror: today's referee is theirs, even if he takes a bad tactical foul... At most, it will be a yellow card!
He was about to let go and do it, but found that... the ball was gone!

Under Long Shute's feet... there is no football at all!
It's not that the crotch is extraordinary, and there is not much gap between Otamendi's two legs.

It is not a straight sprint with strides, because the goalkeeper is not too far between the two people.

It can't be directly hanging the door, right?
Otamendi wanted to turn around, but felt a black shadow suddenly cover the sun.

He raised his head suddenly, but the sound of jet planes whizzing past rang in his ears!
Picking the ball out? !
Damn Red Eight!

You bully me because I'm shorter than you? !

Otamendi gritted his teeth and watched the whirlwind kill him, but there was nothing he could do!
He could only watch the panicked goalkeeper Caballero rushing left and right in the penalty area with his hands and feet, but he still couldn't stop Long Shute's next shot!

"Shua la la!"

Another victory for Liverpool!
2-0!
