ball magic

A striker's shooting style isn't built in a day.

In the same way, the goalkeeper's style of punching points did not come out of thin air.

The above is Raphael's emotion when Dudek performed "noodle dance".

If 20 years later, this style of pouncing is not new, but in this era, Dudek's movements look exaggerated and alternative.

Standing in front of the Polish goalkeeper at the moment is Michael Owen.

Perhaps it was because of the person who took the penalty kick that made Anfield so quiet at the moment.

In Rafael's view, Irving is also proud enough, because there is no booing, which is already the deepest love these fans have for him.

Perhaps fans all over the world are paying attention to whether Irving can penetrate Dudek's ten fingers and break through his old club's goal at Anfield in this way.

But what Raphael was concerned about was that he was facing Dudek.

And it was Dudek who was ready to pounce.

Why does the more I think about it, the more I regret it...

With the whistle of the referee Dick, Irving has already started to run.

At the same moment, Rafael is also ready to go.

Twelve yards in front of the goal is such a short distance for the goalkeeper. They seem to be playing Russian roulette, but the difference is that they do not press the trigger by themselves, but let the opposing player decide their own life and death.

In order to save themselves, they must do their best and give up everything!

With Owen's push, Dudek also rushed in the opposite direction after the last feint.

At the moment of his save, Rafael started!

But faster than him is Irving who is closest to the goal.

After the penalty kick was saved, Owen rushed to the goal at the fastest speed and completed the make-up!

The hearts of Liverpool fans have also been greatly tested at this moment.

One second they were in heaven, the next they were in hell.

They didn't even have a chance to react, just watched Irving put his hands up after scoring, rejecting teammates who rushed up to celebrate with him.

This is not the first time he has dribbled through Liverpool's goal.

The ace shooter they cultivated became a pain for his old club in the first official game of the new season, the first European game.

But at this moment, he made a point again, personally took the penalty, and made a supplementary shot into the net.

At this moment, some fans realized that earlier, at the moment of Irving's transfer, their favorite chasing boy was already a thing of the past.

Perhaps it is precisely this that makes this legendary home stadium, famous for its devils, as quiet as an ice cave.

Even the Inter Milan fans who were traveling with the team kept their mouths in check at this moment.

They are leading by 2 goals, so they are no longer hated.

Maybe it's because of the light, or maybe it's because Owen's hair is a bit long, it's hard for Raphael to describe Owen's expression at the moment, but this doesn't prevent him from rubbing his head.

Irving rejected the celebration, the hug from Kai Huixin and Redondo, and the care of the captain at the moment.

But now he still has a question to ask: "You know he can save?"

It's not the first time he stands in front of twelve yards. At present, the hit rate is still good, but the look that Rafael gave him when he handed over the point left a deep impression on him, and let him stand on the penalty kick He was a bit of a shadow before the point.

But he is not the counselor of his mother-in-law. Since it is possible to lose it, let's make up for it. What's the big deal?

So he successfully completed the follow-up shot.

The feeling after scoring is as pleasant as ever, which is the instinct of the shooter.

However, this pleasure only existed for a moment, and then it was weighed down by a huge boulder, accompanied by mixed tastes.

He could only try his best to resolve this emotion, and at the same time, he complained in his heart about that strange woman who was longing for this kind of "stimulation".

But in the face of his question, this "wonderful and original" just raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, and then ran to the middle circle again.

Owen: "..."

Do you know, or don't you know?

The only thing that responded to Raphael was his blond hair fluttering in the night wind.

Well, Owen has to admit that even with a man's eyes, this guy is beyond handsome.

Even he secretly envies him sometimes.

The game continues when the players of both teams return to the center circle.

It's just that everything in the camera was cut to Liverpool coach Houllier.

The appearance of this old French man is as elegant and easy-going as old Robson, but at this moment his expression is like a dream.

"We can see that Houllier is very angry. In a long period of time, his tactics are correct. He successfully restricted Redondo and Jaminha, but everything followed Rafael and Jaminia. Minia's transposition has changed."

When Richard Coyce said this, he couldn't help feeling: "Many netizens commented on my network homepage, saying that I shouldn't praise Raphael too much, but you see, the truth is right in front of you, and the contrast is so obvious. .”

Richard Coyce went to the end, he didn't want to belittle Jaminha when he praised Rafael, because the Brazilian's performance was really good, but in this game, Rafael was obviously more adaptable than him Liverpool's style of play is also more adaptable to confrontation than him.

However, I don't know whether Houllier's shouting played a role, or because the singing of more than 5 fans at the scene played an effect. Liverpool's players are still running actively, but no one knows at this time, they need a goal.

Otherwise, as time goes by, the physical fitness of Liverpool players will decline further, and it will be time for Inter Milan to easily reap the scythe.

Although he is a fan of Rafael, as an Englishman, Richard Coyce still hopes that Houllier can make a change, otherwise he can only watch Inter Milan play the role of death and make a big start at Anfield. Killed.

Just when Richard Coyce was worried for Liverpool, the situation also changed.

And the player who changed the situation this time was the young Juan.

Juan's performance today was quite outstanding. In the matchup with Gerrard, who was similar in age, he was the one who had the upper hand.

At this moment, he also broke the ball under Gerrard's feet, but Juan didn't even look at it, and directly sent a wide-range oblique long pass to find Rafael with incomparable precision.

Andy Gray couldn't help but marvel: "How did he do it? Is there a special gravitational force between him and Raphael?"

Because the pass was so accurate that it didn't make sense, Rafael could receive the ball comfortably without doing anything.

Richard Coyce was amused, and said with a smile: "I think you are right, Raphael may really be Juan's gravitational force."

He felt that this description of himself was too appropriate, but his partner had no time to watch him at all, but shouted: "Raphael! It's Raphael again!"

Amidst his chanting, Rafael was racing through the night sky at Anfield.

At this moment, Toshack, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, couldn't sit still anymore. As soon as he stood up and looked at Raphael's back, he found that his face was cold, and the big raindrops fell on his face.

This made Lao Tuo helplessly think that weather forecasts are sometimes unreliable, and sometimes you have to believe them. Today belongs to the latter.

But his gaze was still fixed on that villain of his.

Because the scenery there is unique!

Juan passed the ball very well, and the timing was very good, which also allowed Rafael to easily bypass the double gate formed by Danny Murphy and Harman.

However, in front of him, there are Husky, Hyypia and Henchos who don't know when they will return to their own penalty area.

Hypiage is tall, Husky is hard, and Henchos is tall and hard. The cage composed of these three people appeared in front of Raphael.

Toshack witnessed the formation of this cage, with a look of excitement and envy on his face.

Because of Rafael's position, such a scene is actually rarely seen this season, and he misses it a little.

But in the blink of an eye, the raindrops turned into rain curtains, forming a natural hazy filter in front of his eyes.

In the rain, under the double team, Rafael is still advancing.

Even though the slippery turf made his dribbling no longer graceful and beautiful, even though the high and hard combination made him look embarrassed, he still forged ahead.

None of these winds and rains are enough to shake his faith, and none of these obstacles can stop him from moving forward.

At this moment, Lao Tuo's eyes also became more blurred, which made him have to raise his hands to cover them, preventing the rain from entering his eyes.

But in just a short moment, huge changes took place on the court.

Owen was shooting at the moment, but Lao Tuo, who was born as a striker, knew that this kid was also a little unlucky ghost just by looking at his posture.

Obviously the ball slipped, and he kicked it!

This made Lao Tuo couldn't help covering his face.

Boy, how long have you been away from this stadium, and you forgot about the unpredictable weather here?

Can't play football in the rain?

Lao Tuo is so speechless, Irving, who can regret losing a goal in such a funny way, is more regretful than him, and he is covering his face at this moment.

Because he felt that he was sorry for the little ball bully.

Think about it, this is the cake made by three people in a row. He could have eaten it by himself, but the californium got to his feet, and he missed it because of the ridiculous reason of not changing the studs...

In fact, before the game started, the assistant coach reminded them that it might rain.

But the problem is that when they were warming up and stepping on the field, they found that Liverpool's turf caretakers didn't seem to sprinkle much water before the game, and it was not suitable to put steel nails directly.

Especially him and Rafael.

They are already very fast. Doesn't the steel nails affect the speed on the turf that has not been sprinkled much?

As a result, I have to pay a terrible price for this now...

But Irving didn't have time to wallow in the emotions of failure, because Dudek was about to kick off.

At this moment, Toshack made a gesture, defend, defend, strictly guard!

Yes, Lao Tuo also saw the problem.

He also doesn't want to blame the players for not changing the studs, because they always have their reasons for doing so.

And now the Liverpool players have also reacted, and they know what to do without Houllier's arrangement!

Do the studs have a big impact?

It's quite big to say that it's big, for example, Owen's close kick turned into a close miss.

But it is a bit exaggerated to say that it determines the outcome of the game.

Liverpool fell behind for most of the time and hadn't seen any hope of scoring a goal. Now that they have seen it, their morale is naturally boosted.

At this moment, Houllier is also directing the players to launch a counterattack in the rain, and is still urging the players to take more long shots.

After all, it is raining too much now, and Toldo is more likely to slip on his feet when making a save, and may even drop his hand.

And Liverpool, as an English team, throwing long passes and so on, this is simply their housekeeping skill!

A heavy rain brought more changes to the game and more highlights.

But what the coaches, players and even the fans of both sides did not expect was that the third goal of this game was also scored by Inter Milan players

When Stam made a clearance, he accidentally cleared the ball into his own goal.

At the moment when he saw the ball bounce into the net, Toldo's expression made people feel distressed.

Well, that doesn't include Liverpool fans.

And Toshack, who saw this scene, could only shake his head.

Now he is thankful that the first half is coming to an end soon.

The Liverpool players were obviously aware of this. When the two sides returned to the center circle for kick-off, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack again, but after the kick-off, Inter Milan passed the ball to Raphael again.

In this weather, still want to waste time by dribbling?

But Raphael's answer was, no, I'm going to shoot.

In the first half, Dudek, who caught up with low blocks and even saved a penalty from Irving, is now far away from the goal.

This is an opportunity!

Behind the goal guarded by Dudek is the famous kop fan stands.

In its long history, there have been only platforms for hundreds of years, but no seats.

This also means that all fans have to stand and watch the entire game.

It was never a threshold for these most die-hard fans, who waved cheering scarves at all times and their songs were always passionate.

Even after the Hillsborough tragedy, the stands were replaced by stands, and these most die-hard Liverpool fans have kept up the tradition.

So after seeing Rafael's lob shot, the singing of these fans turned into a huge warning sound.

But it's still too late...

The slippery turf that hindered Irving has now become Dudek's enemy.

The moment he slipped in embarrassment, the ball fell into the goal with a perfect arc.

This scene completely silenced the entire Anfield.

This moment brought Liverpool fans back to the summer of 1996.

It was the first round of the Premier League. Under the afternoon sun at Selhurst Park, Beckham made a stunning lob from the center circle and became famous ever since.

And on this cold and rainy night that was about to end in 2001, they also followed in the footsteps of Wimbledon and became the background board recorded in the history of the Champions League...

After scoring the goal, Raphael was hugged by Owen and Vieri who were close at hand, and was surrounded by all teammates including Toldo within a few seconds!

As the referee, Dick blew the whistle for the end of the first half while repeating "fuck you" in his heart.

He thought that the Liverpool players should not want to go back to the center circle to kick off.

The whistle had just stopped, and before he had time to congratulate Raphael for scoring such a goal, he saw Toshack rush forward with unrivaled momentum, and then joined his players.

Dick couldn't help laughing.

Sir, do you remember it was only the end of the first half?

But how do the Inter Milan players who are cheering and celebrating in the heavy rain care about his thoughts?
