Chapter 147 Champions League Final ([-])

Time flies, Liverpool and Barcelona have returned to the field again, and the second half of the Champions League final is about to start.

For the score of 1:1 in the first half, both sides can still accept it, so there were no substitutions in the midfield.

In such an important game as the Champions League final, as long as it is not the first half, it will be relatively behind, and the head coach will not easily change players in the middle.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool, according to Heynckes' arrangement, started a wave of rushing attacks, even if they couldn't score a goal, they could disrupt the opponent's calm control of the ball.

In the 46th minute, Gerrard went straight from midfield, Liu Ting caught the ball from the right side of the penalty area and sprinted into the penalty area, facing Yaya Toure with two consecutive spikes to deceive the opponent.

"Liu...beautiful smash! Hit the goal...oh...no?"

After Liu Ting dunked Toure, he raised his foot as if to hit the goal. He deceived the Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez, but he made a fake shot and passed the ball to the left side of the goal. Torres appeared there in time to resist Puyol's push, and the ball easily rolled into the goal.

"Goooooooooal!!! TNT!!! This is a cooperation between TNT, Liverpool overtook the score, good job!" Alan Hansen roared.

Torres, who scored the goal, immediately ran over to celebrate with Liu Ting, and the Liverpool fans who came to the scene were shouting TNT.

The Liverpool players did not expect to score a goal in a rush at the beginning. Perhaps Guardiola, who led the team to the Champions League final for the first time, did not deliberately arrange for Barcelona to pay attention to such a rush. Maybe it was just Liverpool's luck, but this is often the case on the pitch, and anything is possible.

Zhan Jun said: "It was Liu Ting's assist just now. This is his 18th assist this season. He has assisted 15 times in the league. This is his third assist in the Champions League. Adding his 3 Champions League goals, this is his 7th goal directly related to Liverpool this season. These 40 goals were either scored by him or assisted by him. At the beginning of the season, his high transfer fee made people make irresponsible remarks, thinking that Liverpool was cheated. I don't think anyone talks about Liverpool anymore. It was cheated."

Liverpool was celebrating, but Barcelona was disappointed. They scored first in the first half, but they were equalized in the first half. Now they were scored shortly after the start of the second half. This is really a blow to morale.

Fortunately, there are many players in the Barcelona team who won the UEFA Champions League in 06. Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o, etc. were all players in the UEFA Champions League final.

This goal made Guardiola unable to sit still. After Liverpool scored the goal, he has been standing on the sidelines to direct the team and help the team stabilize. This made Heynckes, who wanted to take advantage of the opponent's morale and continue to attack, a little disappointed. However, he quickly got rid of this emotion.

The game restarted, and Barcelona did not panic and wanted to equalize the score urgently, but still controlled the midfield steadily.

In the 50th minute, Gerrard was intercepted by the midfielder. Eto'o counterattacked and went straight into the penalty area. Messi suddenly fell down when receiving the ball in the penalty area. The Barcelona players complained to the referee that Agger pushed Messi behind him. The referee did not interrupt the game, thinking that it was a normal physical contact.

Liverpool's homeopathic counterattack ended with Torres being pulled down in midfield by Iniesta, and the free kick he got did not create a threat.

In the 55th minute, Barcelona almost equalized the score. Iniesta earned a free kick in front of the penalty area for Barcelona. Harvey's free kick hit the right post and bounced back into the field. Arbeloa cleared the ball.

Barcelona stabilized their formation and faced off against Liverpool. They did not suffer at all. They were both creating threats to each other, and even Barcelona created a little more.

In the 58th minute, Aveiroa and Liu Ting made a cross from the right after cooperating. Dirk Didier failed to kick the right part under the interference of Toure.

In the 63rd minute, a funny scene appeared on the field. Liu Ting temporarily stepped back to defend against Barcelona's attack.

Busquets and Liu Ting are only 20 years old, and they are the two youngest players on the field. However, Liu Ting was a little famous last season. Busquets started to be promoted and reused by Guardiola this season, and most of the time he was just a substitute for Yaya Toure.

This was Busquets’ first goal in the Champions League final. Maybe he was a little nervous. A long shot was wide enough. Liu Ting stood on the right side of his penalty area and was about to leave the penalty area.

The speed of the long-range shot was very fast. Liu Ting tried his best to dodge it, but the ball brushed his thigh and went out of the baseline, but the change of direction was not obvious.

No one else saw it, but Busquets was very concerned about his first shot in the Champions League final. He saw that the ball hit Liu Ting's body and hit the baseline, but the referee awarded a goal kick. He immediately complained to the referee, but the referee just shook his head and did not change his mind.

Busquets negotiated to no avail, so he walked directly towards Liu Ting. He walked up to Liu Ting and said, "Did you touch that ball just now? You should go to the referee and make it clear that this should be our corner kick, right?"

Liu Ting looked at him with strange eyes, this guy's brain circuit is different from normal people, right?How can I prove to the referee that I hit the ball myself?

Thinking this way in his heart, Liu Ting said, "How do you think I should answer you? You are still too young. You won't ask such naive questions after you play football for two more years."

Liu Ting spoke in Spanish, and of course Busquets could hear clearly. He obviously didn't listen to Liu Ting's "advice and experience talk".

The referee was still talking to Barcelona captain Puyol. He was paying attention to Busquets. Busquets failed to return to his own half of the court, but went to the opposing player. The referee naturally had to pay attention to him, and the referee clearly saw Busquets pushing Liu Ting on the chest. The Swiss referee blew his whistle without hesitation.

The referee also hesitated, and only gave Busquets a yellow card. The main reason was that the two obviously had some kind of quarrel first, and Liu Ting's push didn't look too serious, and he didn't even fall down.

Liu Ting also didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so strong, so he pushed him directly, and he fell down unprepared.

"Oh...what happened just now? Barcelona teenager Busquets received a yellow card. We need to review the replay to find out what happened." The commentators all over the world have almost the same questions.

"According to the replay, just now Busquets walked over and seemed to have an argument with Liu Ting, and then the angry Busquets pushed Liu Ting. The referee saw his action, and Busquets got a yellow card for it." Zhan Jun said.

After this little accident, the game returned to the normal track, but many commentators and fans all over the world are very interested in what Liu Ting and Busquets said just now.

The game is still going on, Barcelona is constantly looking for opportunities, because Liverpool is temporarily ahead, it is more like a defensive counterattack.

In the 67th minute, Henry received a pass from Iniesta on the left side of the penalty area and a low shot was confiscated by Reina.

In the 73rd minute, Barcelona's attack was fruitless again. The ball was caught by the goalkeeper. Reina directly took the ball with a big foot, trying to create opportunities for Liu Ting and Torres who were running forward.Such a big foot, still in the case of Liverpool temporarily leading, if it is a successful counterattack, it is Reina's decisive ball, if it is sent directly to the opponent's feet, it is a big or small mistake.

This time it was obviously a big mistake. The ball flew to the midfield and was cut off by Barcelona captain Carles Puyol.

"Messi...a good chance!"

Messi skillfully moved to the back point. Although it was very close to the goal, it was a high ball. Messi could only complete the attack with a header that he was not very good at, but this time Messi completed it very well. The ball drew an arc and flew into the goal.

"Messi! He is the new king of the Nou Camp. He helped Barcelona equalize the score. Barcelona still has a chance to score in the next goal. Barcelona continues to advance towards the Triple Crown." The Spanish commentator said excitedly.

Messi galloped on the field to celebrate, and the Liverpool generals could only watch helplessly.

Zhan Jun said: "This is Messi's ninth Champions League goal this season. He has widened the gap with Liu Ting and Gerrard. At present, Liu Ting and Gerrard have not scored. The number of goals in the Champions League between the two is still controlled at 9. There are only more than ten minutes in the game without considering overtime. Messi's Champions League golden boots are already very stable."

Barcelona equalized the score at this time, but it made both teams a little worried about gains and losses. If they scored the opponent's goal in the next time, it was likely to be a lore goal, because there was not much time left after the goal. Even if they used the bus in front of the goal, they could delay this time.

The two teams both used a substitution before the game started again. Liverpool replaced Gareth Bale with Aurelio.

Barcelona also made a counter-substitution. Keita came on to replace Busquets. Keita is an experienced player in the Barcelona team. Guardiola hopes that he can help the team by playing. At the same time, Busquets already has a yellow card.

Guardiola’s fears were not fulfilled. The next two teams played very steadily. No one wanted to fight back desperately and wanted to end the game within 90 minutes. The head coaches of both teams believed that their teams had a better chance of winning in overtime, so they arranged such tactics. The two teams would rather play overtime than give each other a chance.

In the 86th minute, Liverpool had a through pass from Xavi Alonso, and Liu Ting ran back to catch the ball and single-handedly shot the ball into the goal, but the linesman had already raised the flag in advance.In fact, Liu Ting himself felt that the ball was likely to be offside before receiving the ball, but he still hit the ball into the goal out of the forward's responsibility. What if the linesman suddenly had bad eyesight and didn't see it?

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, almost created danger when Messi broke through in stoppage time. Carragher, who couldn't prevent Messi, had to bring Messi down, so he received a yellow card.

In the end, the 90-minute game ended, the two teams tied 2:2, and it was time to prepare for overtime.
