[Football] Crown of Thorns

At the end of the first half, the home team temporarily took the lead with a score of 2-1.

Players from both teams entered the locker room one after another.

As soon as the Red Army soldiers walked into the visiting team's locker room after leaving the field, Jie Baozi immediately put his arms around Gama's shoulders, "Xiko, do you need to be more premised on your position in the second half, I think your feet are smooth and you will definitely score in the second half .”

"Yes, Steven is right."

A striker with a bad foot immediately nodded in agreement.

Gama's black line on the forehead, you guys, are you looking for a draw or a draw?

Jia Ma has always thought of himself as a good-tempered and honest person, but some people... Hehe, it's really itchy!

An honest person like me, sir, is going to be mad by you, why are you still doing this?

Standing at the door of the locker room, the Red Army coach Rodgers looked at his players with a complicated face and muttered together to discuss the second half tactics and position revisions, etc.—do you take me as a coach?

Finally, Rogers coughed twice to remind the players that he was here.

In the end, no one looked back, and I don't know who yelled "Who has a cold, be conscious" in exchange for many people's nods.

Rogers: ==

It was his assistant coach who knocked on the cabinet with the tactical board in his hand, and then pulled back the players whose minds were running like wild horses.

"Hello sir!"

Gama pretends to be obedient.

Rogers looked at him with sad eyes: This is not a worry-free product!I really misread you!

Jia Ma looked back innocently: I am such an honest person~~

"In the second half of the game, Suso, you take a rest and Sterling comes on. Gama, you can move your position forward appropriately, but you still have to pay attention to the defense, and pay attention to the opponent's offense..."

"Ok."

He agreed, but Jia Ma murmured in his heart, do you really think of me as an all-rounder with total attack and defense?I want to exhaust me!

When Rogers went out after arranging the tactics for the second half, Gama glanced around quietly.

The creepy teammates stared at by his resentful eyes: ...

"Guys in the backcourt," Gamarra said in a long voice, "the defense in the second half depends entirely on you!"

Uh ha, ha ha, ok ok~~

The defenders looked at each other and responded with a haha.

Gama rolled his eyes.

The second half of the game began, and the two sides fought again.

Liverpool replaced teenager Suso with Sterling.

Gama, who was attacking with the ball, made a gesture. After his feet seemed to be about to break through from the middle, the ball flew from his feet to the left.

Sterling dribbled the ball forward from the left near the bottom line and then passed the ball back to the goal. Suarez rushed out from the opponent defending him, grabbed the goal from a small angle, and the ball went wide.

Although the goal was missed, the opponents were still taken aback.

The home team fans in the stands exclaimed, and then they booed the Red Army players with great momentum.

Stoke City attack.

Their goalkeeper Begovic sent a powerful long pass. The football was thrown to the left by his strong hand. Etherington picked up the ball and passed it to the front of the Red Army's penalty area. The breakthrough keeps up with the direct goal.

3-1, Stoke City leads Liverpool with two cities.

The audience cheered thunderously, the fans of the home team waved their flags like a demonstration, the passionate girls kept blowing kisses to the field, and the sound of horns and drums was earth-shattering.

The Red Army fans sighed, but still maintained the demeanor of the most loyal fans. They also blew the trumpet and sang the enduring song of the Red Army, Never Alone, to cheer for the team.

Gama took a deep breath.

Although the teams are different and the teammates around us are different, the fans everywhere are equally passionate.

Work hard!

Gama said to himself.

Make a gesture to let Lucas push the ball to himself, Gama controls the ball, pushes his palm forward, and signals his teammates to move forward.

Dribbling the ball from the middle, Gama protected the ball, dodged the opponent's interception and raised his foot, and the football flew forward to the penalty area.

Johnson broke into the penalty area to grab a point and volleyed, but unfortunately the ball went above the crossbar.

Although it is a pity that he failed to score a goal, the grab just now was timely and well done.

Gama nodded... Huh, why is Mao Johnson? ? ?

There was a regretful smile on the black boy's face, and when he turned his head, he met Jia Ma's cold eyes.

Johnson grinned and retreated.

The home team launched an attack, but their attack was successfully intercepted by the Red Army players before they passed the center circle, and the ball was passed to Gama.

Gama is not in a hurry when he finds that the opponent has strengthened their defense. Even if they are two goals behind, they can't mess up the rhythm due to impatience.

Gama raised his arm, stretched out his fingers, and bent his index and middle fingers downwards, telling his teammates to slow down, not to rush to attack, and to slow down the pace.

He carries the ball under his feet, walks two steps and trots two steps, the football never leaves his feet.

The Stoke City players tried to steal the ball, but they didn't dare to extend their feet at will, because the way Gama dribbles the ball is that the distance between the football and his feet is only a few centimeters, as long as you dare to reach out, Gama dares to fall to the ground... Of course, Jia Ma is not the kind of person who will deliberately flop, but if you dare to attack my legs, then Jia Ma can naturally fall down.

The two Stoke City players could only dawdle around Gama, but they didn't dare to actually bump into him.

Jia Ma pursed his lips, looked at the opponents around him with a serious expression, and then he suddenly smiled.

This expression made the opponent stunned. At this time, Jiama exerted force with his feet, and the football flew out from between the two of them.

The two home team players turned their heads. When they were a step behind and were about to chase the ball, Gama had already stepped forward and deliberately squeezed in between them and pinned the two of them with his arms.

It's just a second of stagnation, and it's impossible to chase the ball.

Because the speed of football flying in the air is much faster than human footsteps.

Lucas responded, glanced left and right after stopping the ball in the chest, and made a cross.

Gerrard has outflanked and hit the goal.

It's just that Begovic, the goalkeeper of the home team, played really well. He punched the football out with a flying punch.

Sterling made a supplementary shot, and Huth rushed out and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his body.

Reds corner.

Gama ran to serve the corner kick.

He sent a half-point high ball, Sterling snatched a hook in the penalty area, turned around and hit the goal, and the ball flew high into the stands.

There was a commotion in the restricted area, and someone was shouting something.

Gama was startled and quickly ran over.

His teammate Lucas fell to the ground with his hands on his thighs and a pained expression on his face.

The referee Weber ran over, looked down at Lucas, and immediately signaled the sideline team doctor to enter the field.

The Red Army doctor rushed into the field with a medical kit. After a short inspection, he gestured to the coach on the sidelines and told the coach Rodgers that Lucas could no longer continue the game and please make a substitution.

Rodgers waved his hand angrily, and told the assistant coach to let Henderson warm up and get ready to play.

The stretcher has already entered the field, and Lucas was carried out on the stretcher.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Liverpool was forced to make a substitution and Henderson replaced the injured Lucas.

The teammate's injury and leaving the field affected the emotions of the Red Army members. When the home team continued to serve, Suarez hooked the ball with a high leg from the opponent's player and caused the opponent to fall when dodging. Suarez was also injured by this dangerous action. Showed a yellow card by the referee.

Gama sighed.

It is undeniable that Suarez is a good player, but he has too many unnecessary card-eating behaviors on the field, which can easily make the team passive on the field. From this perspective, Suarez is sometimes emotional in the game The response was very inappropriate.

Gama reached for the ball.

A teammate passed the ball and Gama raised his right arm, which was the signal for an attack.

At this time, in order to cheer up the spirit of the teammates, there must be a goal.

Gama, who was aggressively attacking, swayed past a defensive player in front of him, then turned around and passed back.

Henderson, who had just played, was very focused. After receiving Gama's pass, he swayed past his opponent and passed again.

Gama received the ball and pushed it sideways, and the football flew to the right side of the penalty area.

Tang Ning took the ball from the right and cut in. He was tripped by his opponent.

This, Liverpool get a free kick on the penalty area line.

This time, Jia Ma was not polite, he walked straight over and stepped on the ball, "I'll take the penalty!"

Jie Baozi and Suarez glanced at Gama at the same time and backed away silently.

Gama stepped on the ball and looked at the goal in front of him.

He is calculating which free throw is most appropriate to use at this distance and angle.

The players of Stoke City formed a human wall in front, and the Red Army players Sterling and Johnson squeezed over and pushed and shoved with their opponents, trying to block a certain route for Gama.

Gama took a few steps back.

As the referee blew his whistle, Gama took three quick steps and hit the football hard with his instep.

This is a high-altitude spinning ball, whizzing through the air, drawing an arc and turning sideways towards the goal.

Begovic reacted quickly, but he didn't have time to block the football that slid into the goal from the air.

There was an obvious drop of the football from the air to the front of the goal. Begovic's fingertips touched the ball but he could only watch the football into the net.

It didn't fall until the football hit the back of the net and played two spins over the net.

3-2, Gama hit the goal with a free kick and the Red Army recovered a goal.

"awesome!!!"

"GOAL!!!"

In the live broadcast, the host shouted loudly.

In the live studio, the commentator of Stoke City resentfully said, "Dagama used his personal ability to recover a goal for Liverpool. But now we are leading..."

On the pitch, the Red Army players excitedly celebrated this hard-won goal.

Jie Baozi hugged Jia Ma tightly, "You are amazing."

"Come on, let me go, I can't breathe."

Jia Ma proudly poked Jie Baozi with his fingertips.

While they were enthusiastically celebrating the goal, Stoke City applied for a substitution on the sidelines.

The coach replaced No. 18 Kately with No. [-] Whitehead. This is a matchup substitution.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Army also applied for substitutions. Coach Rodgers replaced Downing with Joe Cole. All three substitutions for this game were used up.

Re-kick-off, the home team to attack.

But this time the Red Army's defense didn't give them any chance. Agger directly intercepted the ball and passed the ball near the center circle.

Henderson was full of energy. He rushed to catch the ball and passed it straight to the frontcourt. Sterling took the ball and shot from a long distance. The ball was blocked by the home team's defender.

Suarez snatched the ball and passed it, and Gerrard hit the goal again.

Unfortunately, the force was so great that the football failed to hold the angle and the ball was higher than the crossbar.

Gama exhaled and made gestures one after another, telling his teammates not to relax and prepare to attack.

The goalkeeper serves.

Jia Ma, who was staring at the opponent closely, followed him. When the opponent jumped up to catch the ball, he volleyed and kicked the football out of the way.

Enrique ran over and hooked the ball away.

The ball flew back to the home team's half, and Gerrard got the ball... with a bang, he was pushed to the ground.

The whistle sounded, the referee Webb gave the home team No. [-] Whelan a foul and showed him a yellow card

Liverpool gets a free kick.

Gerald got up from the ground and looked at Gama who was coming, "Are you coming?"

"Of course it is me."

Gama replied bluntly.

Suarez on the side blinked, he took this free kick very badly, he had no chance in this game...

P, go to the side of those who waste opportunities.

Gama squeezes Suarez, who is approaching.

The Uruguayan left pitifully wronged.

Jie Baozi suppressed a smile and stepped aside.

"Dagama again!!!"

The voice of the live commentator was high and shrill.

"According to the relevant records, the players who scored two free kicks in one game are Zola and Mihajlovic who scored a free kick hat-trick... Let's look at this free kick by Vasco da Gama... "

Gama took a deep breath, took two steps back, and kicked up.

This is a low-altitude floating ball, that is, the football suddenly floats upwards when passing under the wall to the goal. This kind of ball often makes the goalkeeper make a mistake in judgment and fly past him.

Although the goalkeeper Begovic of the home team performed well, but this time he still did not stop this weird floating ball. He could only watch the football float in from the goal line with his eyes in annoyance.

"...The ball is scored!"

"OH, MYGOD!!!"

"I don't even know what to say. Da Gama is a player who always surprises people. His free kicks are so beautiful!"

…………

At the same time, Bento, the coach of the national team far away in Portugal, couldn't help laughing and scolding, "This kid!"

Someone in Madrid and his Mr. X also happened to be watching the game, and Mr. X smiled and asked his someone, "How does it feel?"

Someone with only a three-year-old IQ in front of Mr. X showed an unconvinced expression, "He learned from me!"

Although Mr. X thinks someone's childish pouting expression is very cute, but he said, "Are you really embarrassed to say that?"

"Hum~"

Someone pursed his lips, "He is my junior."

"Yes, yes, your junior, I forgot to ask, what gift did you give him for Christmas?"

"Eh gift?"

"Yeah," Mr. X said with a light tone as if he didn't care, "I didn't even see what you gave me?"

"..." Someone thought for a while, "Didn't I tell you?"

"Honey, you didn't say!!!"

…………

So someone expressed his apology in a personal way.

And Mr. X, hehe, do you want to remind someone in his family that the Christmas presents they sent this year were charged with his card! ! !

…………

The eyes turned back to England's Britannia Stadium, and with referee Weber's whistle, the game ended.

In the end, the home team Stoke City drew 3-3 with the visiting team Liverpool.

Although he failed to win the game, he didn't lose anyway, and it's okay to score a point.

After the game, Liverpool still ranked sixth in the standings.
