Chapter 326 Finnish Connection
Sure enough, in the 2000/01 season, Litmanen won the League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup with Liverpool, but unfortunately he missed all three finals due to injury, but Litmanen was at critical moments several times in a row Saving the team is indispensable.Many Liverpool fans believe that the striker combination of Fowler and Litmanen is enough to become Ian La and Dalglish II!

Therefore, when Litmanen took the ball, half of the Leeds United players were shocked. Even Kenny left the water bottle in his hand and chased it out. Although Litmanen is also a player who is good at speed, it is not enough. After all, he was overtaken by Kenny's crazy acceleration.The Liverpool fans in the stands all exclaimed when they saw this scene, but at this moment Litmanen was in no hurry and already knew it.

Now that Kenny has caught up with Litmanen, he didn't do any more fearless acceleration. He simply slowed down his speed, and then relied on his exquisite dribbling and foot skills to continue to bring the ball forward.But Kenny, who was caught in the scramble beside him, was very helpless. He was a good player offensively, but when it came to defense, Kenny himself was too embarrassed to say more. He was the closest to Litmanen. I wanted to rely on my speed to intercept it and wait for the assistance of my teammates, but I caught up with it in the previous step, but I couldn't intercept it. This feeling is very painful.

So Kenny finally waited for his teammate Mateo after such stumbles, but what neither of them expected was that Litmanen was patiently waiting for Mateo's arrival!The moment Mateo pressed on, Litmanen suddenly made an emergency stop and turned around behind him, causing Kenny, who was unstable in the continuous struggle, to be thrown away directly, that is to say, Kenny has excellent skills at his feet and has a good grasp of the center of gravity. It is in place so the situation of falling is avoided, but it has become impossible to grab again.However, Litmanen rewritten the situation into a one-on-one that is very beneficial to him by relying on this stop and turn.

In Van Gaal's 4-3-3 formation, Litmanen sat in the midfield, supplemented by Davis and Seedorf on both sides. When changing to 3-4-3, Rijkaard topped the midfielder , he hit the front midfielder a little earlier and was always ready to go forward, but now Litmanen took the initiative to stand on the wing under the transfer of Fowler.But no matter which one it is, one-on-one breakthroughs are perfect for Finnish skaters!Although the fierce Mateo also knows how powerful he is, all this is of no avail. After throwing off Kenny, he uses a beautiful breakthrough to pass through Mateo's side again. Such a small-scale wonderful performance Not only did it arouse wild cheers from the Liverpool fans, but it also once again posed a very big threat to Leeds United.

In a blink of an eye, Litmanen, who had already rushed into the penalty area, was in an excellent position. He could choose to hit the goal or pass the ball. The only two defensive players in the penalty area of ​​Leeds United, Woodgate and Ferdinand, can be described as doubles There is no skill, everything is in Litmanen's thought.Owen at the far end has already inserted into the penalty area from the other side, and it only needs a cross pass from Litmanen to directly threaten the goal. In such a situation, Woodgate can only follow Owen tightly and dare not slack off.However, the Leeds United players did not expect that at this moment, Litmanen neither chose to cross Owen nor choose to shoot directly against the attacking goalkeeper Martin.

In Finland, which is covered by ice and snow all year round, ice hockey was originally the number one sport in this country, but with the football effect of Litmanen, these two sports are now almost equal to each other in Finland.Especially after Litmanen and his fellow countryman won the five championships last season, Finland even has the saying that "Litmanen is God and Hyypia is Jesus".

"Litmanen chose to pass the ball at this moment! The ball flew high into the air, and there was only Dacourt who came to defend this time, but Liverpool's offensive players did not seem to deploy enough strength here to support Litman. Ma Ning, it seems that the tacit understanding of the ball is not enough." When the commentator who took the overall situation saw Litmanen's pass, he was also in doubt and puzzled, because he did not see the pass at this time. Hyypia rushed into the penalty area with unstoppable momentum, and at the next moment Hyypia's header that dominated the sky made everyone boil.

Relying on his extraordinary jumping ability and long-distance run-up, Hyypia rushed into the penalty area and jumped up to head towards the ball, firmly pressing Duckett, who had returned to the defense, under him. At this moment, Martin, who was desperate to attack, saw this There was deep despair in his eyes, because he didn't have time to make a save, and the ball hit the net with a swish!
2:0! ! !

"Goal!!! Hypia!! Hypia helped Liverpool score again, and the score was rewritten by him to 2:0! What a domineering goal, this header once again put Leeds United just now. The improved offensive was suppressed, and Hyypia contributed a vital goal for his home team! It was so beautiful! Hyypia and Litmanen, the talented pair from Finland Two players hugged each other tightly, sharing the joy of the moment together! Football desert? No! No!"

"Dakot's excellent physical confrontation ability did not play its due role in Liverpool's attack at all. Hyypia, who is better in jumping and height, had the last laugh, and it was his Finn who sent him an exquisite assist. Fellow Litmanen! This is a connection from the winger and the central defender. They fooled all the defenders of Leeds United. No one could have imagined that Hypia would suddenly appear in such a key position!"

"Through the replay, we can see that when Litmanen was caught in the double-team of Kenny and Mateo, he completed the press, and Hyypia, who was responsible for switching from defense to offense, did not choose to retreat to his own half, but He chose to move on! This means that Hyypia trusts his teammate Litmanen extremely, and as we have seen, Litmanen did not disappoint Hyypia with an unexpected assist. Hyypia scored a goal and Liverpool opened the score again!"

"With less than 10 minutes left in the game, this situation is undoubtedly fatal for Leeds United! Is the young guard with a frustrated face and confusion? Is it going to usher in another game? Lost? If this is the case, then the record of kneeling four times in a row at the end of the season is almost a collapse for Leeds United!"
