Section 602 Milan's crisis
Henry still seized the opportunity and scored a goal, which made Zhao Yaning feel discouraged.
After all, Henry is still Henry. Even other players can't do it anymore, and his strength is still there. Liverpool didn't score a penalty kick, and everyone was stunned for less than three seconds before Henry seized the opportunity and fought back.
Liverpool players naturally refused to accept the result of such a game. Soon, Liverpool launched a more fierce attack. However, Sendros and Toure also defended the penalty area tightly. Arsenal's formation began to shrink, and they also wanted to fight Liverpool to the death.
Liverpool's misfortune obviously still did not disperse: Figo broke through to the penalty area, and his shot tricked Lehmann, but missed the far post. Then, Alonso's long pass over the top failed again due to offside problems.
Liverpool's attack pace is getting faster and faster, but it still has no effect. Finally, after Alonso's long-range shot hit the post missed, the referee also blew the whistle at the end of the game.
"Liverpool swallowed an undeserved defeat."
After the game, Leinkell, who commented on the game, was not very satisfied with both sides of the game. "Arsenal gave his opponent too many opportunities, and their letting go was completely like an amateur level. If anyone should get the highest score in this game, I think the goal post is a good idea. Liverpool missed too many opportunities. Milito is not a person who can perform weakly in the big game, why did he play so poorly in this game? Both sides did not perform well enough, just like, after losing Vieira, Arsenal did not know how to defend, and after losing Zhao Yaning, Liverpool did not know how to attack calmly."
This problem is obviously more obvious on Arsenal. After losing Vieira this season, they took advantage of Campbell and Ashley Cole. Almost all of the backcourts were disabled, so naturally there was no defense. Although their offense was still sharp, beautiful and gorgeous, their defense was extremely unbearable. When they repeatedly broke through the opponent's goal, their goal was repeatedly shot into a sieve by their opponents.
On the other hand, Liverpool's side was another problem. After losing Zhao Yaning, they did have an offense, but they lost the calmness and calmness of holding the ball in the frontcourt. In the past, because there was a Zhao Yaning who could get the ball, make the ball, and pull the defense line, Liverpool players were very calm when taking the ball. However, although there seemed to be no big change in this game, their space for holding the ball has become smaller after all, which forced them to speed up the pace and attack and defend quickly with the enemy. The result of this was that they could not seize the opportunity.
"In this game, Diego Milito was undoubtedly the worst performer. He had two offsides, one goal post, and one penalty kick. This season, his performance has always been very good. Many people call him Liverpool's new killer, and it is said that Argentina is also considering letting him enter the national team in this World Cup. However, his performance in this game is still unsatisfactory. A qualified killer should not be weak in such a big game."
When I saw this comment in the club, Milito lowered his head silently. But his teammates cursed, "When did Diego's feet get weak? Can a game tell me everything?"
In fact, Milito rarely has weak feet. Although his style of playing football is not very tough, it has nothing to do with it. He is a good striker, and he is very good at shooting, running, support, and collaboration. When he is against a strong team, he scores goals many times, and when he really performs poorly, there are not many.
However, this game seems to be too important and too eye-catching.
Milito himself understands what's going on: this season, he has always hoped to rely on his own efforts to catch the shuttle bus to Germany's World Cup. Such a request is not an exaggeration. What's the excessive need for the main striker of the most powerful team to play in the World Cup? However, Argentina is Argentina after all, and this opportunity is not easy to get. In this game, the national team sent people to inspect. He originally hoped to perform more. Who knows that the mentality is unbalanced, but there is a problem...
I’m afraid that after this game, the national team will be nowhere to go.
"It's okay, no matter what they say, the soft-footed shrimps are untenable. After this round, we still have our own home game. If we win that game, will it be over? In that game, I will pass the ball to you, and I promise you can score a goal!"
Zhao Yaning comforted Milito, but couldn't find any good words. Milito didn't say anything tough after all - in fact, this away game lost to Arsenal 0-1, which made Zhao Yaning in the stands helpless, and also made him feel quite strange. Arsenal's home court seemed to be possessed, and he didn't lose the ball. Three goal posts, two offsides, and one penalty kick was not scored. Such things make people really have nothing to say.
Fortunately, I just lost 0-1. The next game was held at Liverpool's home court. Liverpool players felt that the possibility of a comeback was still quite high.
"After Arsenal arrives at Anfield, there will definitely be another tough battle." In this regard, Leinker also saw this, "And Arsenal has no way to rest this week. Arsenal has not played in the last game, including the last game of the postponement, and there are still four games that have not played. Now, they are seven points behind Tottenham Hotspur, ranking fifth in the league. At this time, they are facing the North London derby, and they have to play that game. Liverpool's league postponement is going to play the FA Cup semi-final this weekend. This game is against their derby opponent Everton, but in terms of difficulty and significance, they are much lighter than Arsenal."
Arsenal is now playing one round less and is seven points behind Tottenham. This derby is crucial to them. It is precisely because of this that Liverpool also feels that they still have a lot of hope.
At this time, another Champions League match had been completed. Barcelona tied AC Milan 0-0 at home, leaving the suspense of the game to the next game.
But after this game, they were obviously much more discussed than Liverpool. The reason is simple: Although the game between Liverpool and Arsenal was not very good, it was at least a game where the penalty was fair and there was no blame. However, the game between Barcelona and Milan was very serious misjudgment.
During the game, Milan passed the ball at a high altitude, and Shepchenko got an excellent position. But at this time, Puyol, who was standing next to Shepchenko and competed for the top of the ball, did not follow Shepchenko, and fell to the ground because he looked up and looked at the ball. This had nothing to do with Shepchenko's header. In fact, Shepchenko had already smashed the ball into the goal at this time, and Valdes had already gone to pick up the ball helplessly.
But at this time, the referee blew a whistle. As the referee blew the spoon and ran past, indicating that the goal was invalid. Puyol, who had already stretched out his upper body and wanted to sit up, immediately lie down again in a different direction, and rolled in place with his thighs, roaring continuously.
This made Shepchenko's away goal hacked. Milan, who was supposed to be able to win a 1-0 away game, could only swallow a 0-0 draw, and he had no choice but to return to Italy to decide the outcome.
Ancelotti is a good-tempered person. After the game, he didn't say much nonsense. However, this game greatly damaged Puyol's image. He has always been regarded as a symbol of iron-blooded and toughness, but such fake rolling has made his image much worse.
Indeed, at the beginning, he did not think about pretending to fall. Not only did he not think about it, Barcelona did not think about it, Valdes was also thinking about picking up the ball at that time. However, after the referee misjudged, he immediately rolled and pretended to be painful, which was undoubtedly very embarrassing.
"I was thinking of winning a victory for the team. As long as I could win, I didn't have to care about other personal images. And this was the referee's misjudgment first, not the one I took the initiative to foul."
When Puyor was interviewed after the game, what he said was difficult to relieve. If he was a person who was always a little bit like this, such as Casano, Inzagi and others, he would not be criticized. In fact, Maradona also said similar things in 1986. However, Puyor has always been known for his iron-blooded and toughness, but he would be looked down upon by such small tricks. What's more, he is still a defender. No matter when a defender is faked to fall, he will be laughed at.
However, afterwards, UEFA did not make further punishment. After all, it was the referee who made the mistake first, not Puyol. Even if UEFA wants to punish, he had to consider the face of his own people first. However, this approach still caused a lot of controversy.
"If in an important game like the Champions League semi-finals, the penalty for balls that can affect the final victory or defeat will not be curbed, will the fake fall be affected in the future, and will the more and more behaviors of making profits by fake fall be made in the game?"
There are many debates in the newspapers, but most of them are empty talk. As for who can advance to Milan or Barcelona, no one dares to make a conclusion at this time. Barcelona is very strong. They have players like Ronaldo and have an extremely outstanding lineup. However, Milan's overall strength is not inferior after all, and who dares to underestimate Milan's Champions League results in recent years?
At this time, Liverpool also received unexpected news: their semi-finals location was held in Old Trafford.
Originally, this game should have been played in London - but this weekend, London has a North London derby, and it is the most significant North London derby in recent years. In addition, this weekend, I don’t know who organized a marathon. For traffic safety reasons, they can’t play in London.
"Who is so stupid that he thinks playing football at Old Trafford is safe for us?"
Renner's complaint only brought Garcia's eyes to her, "You? Who cares about your safety? They care about the fans. If the fans are safe, everything will be fine."
"Well, Old Trafford, how can Liverpool fans be safe?"
"As long as we win the ball and enter the finals, our fans will naturally be very safe." Zhao Yaning said, "It is enough to show off his power and power. As long as we don't give Manchester United a chance to watch the fun, they can't say bad things!"
