Chapter 710 Intermission
Now there are no other words to describe the mood of the two sides in this game other than extreme joy begets sorrow.
Seeing Valdés pounce on the football, Guardiola and the others thought the blocking was successful, but it turned out that Gerrard bombarded Valdez's Wuzhishan with heavy artillery.
Seeing Gerrard scored a goal, Li Wei and the others cheered and celebrated, but the referee did not whistle for a shooting foul. The point is that Gerrard actually exerted too much force, causing a recurrence of his groin injury.
Gerrard is not the first unlucky superstar to be injured because of a free kick. As early as 2005, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy had a commercial match. In the second half, 8 minutes later, Real Madrid won the chance of a free kick in the front court. , The free kick master Beckham stepped forward to take the penalty. The free kick he took had no power and lacked arc, but it was easily blocked by the wall.
But what was worse was not the quality of the free kick. After the free kick, Beckham did not run to grab the ball, but stood still and covered his legs with his hands, looking very uncomfortable. Soon when the ball was dead, Real Madrid immediately The Portuguese winger Figo was used to replace Beckham, and after the fact, it was an Achilles tendon injury.
In addition to free kicks, there have also been tragic penalty kick injuries in relatively less powerful penalty kicks.
2007 Copa America, Argentina VS Colombia.
Argentina trailed by one goal, and Crespo took the penalty, but after the penalty, just as everyone was about to celebrate his national team scoring more goals than Maradona, Crespo raised his hand Signaling a substitution, it turned out that the thigh muscle was strained due to excessive force at the moment of shooting the ball.
Regarding Gerrard's injury, Levi didn't know what to express.
…………
Soon the staff carried Gerrard off the field on a stretcher. John Wolfgang judged that Gerrard was likely to have a groin recurrence, but all of this was not necessarily accurate, and he did not know where Gerrard's injury relapsed. To a certain extent, he must go to the hospital for examination and further treatment as soon as possible.
"You've done a good enough job!" Li Wei went up to comfort the Red Army captain.
Gerald covered his face with his hands, not knowing what to say.As strong as Gerrard, I couldn't help but want to cry at this time.The impact of his injury this time is not ordinary. If Liverpool can eliminate Barcelona, then Gerrard will not be able to set foot on the stage of the final.
And in Liverpool's next crucial league journey, Gerrard has no way to help the team win the championship.
What a cruel reality for a player who has given his career to Liverpool.
"Arrange the best hospital, if necessary, immediately charter a special plane to the United States for treatment!" Levi explained to John Wolfgang.
He is a bit regretful now, why didn't he just grit his teeth and buy a private jet?
But after he thought about the price of a private jet, he felt a little heartache.
Commercial private jets basically cost 7000 to [-] million US dollars, or even hundreds of millions. This money can be used to buy about two big-name football stars.This is not counting the maintenance cost of the aircraft, because the aircraft is flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and a small problem may cause the aircraft to crash, requiring careful maintenance, and the cost is naturally high.
It’s just that it seems necessary for Liverpool to buy one now. Liverpool will have more missions in the European war in the future. Taking a private jet is more comfortable than flying a plane.
Li Wei shook his head. Now is not the time to think about these things. Now let's think about who will replace Gerrard. He turned his head and glanced behind him. He was a little helpless. They were all beast waists, and there was no one with a stronger organizational ability.
After thinking about it, Li Wei waved at Moussa Sissoko, signaling him to warm up immediately.
Moussa Sissoko was very excited and quickly took off his vest and ran to the sidelines to warm up.
Levi said to the assistant coach Rodelfo Borel again: "The game is almost over now. It is estimated that Moussa Sissoko will not be able to make it to the first half. You and he will not enter the locker room later." , Just warm up on the field and let him get into the game as soon as possible. He will play Gerrard's position after he comes on the field, but I don't want him to organize the ball and let him play the role of Makelele. I will leave this aspect to you guide him."
"Okay!" Rodelfo Borel nodded.
As Li Wei expected, a lot of time was lost due to Gerrard's injury, and the game has directly entered stoppage time after the restart.
Although the fourth official gave a relatively long stoppage time of 4 minutes, the game was relatively smooth and there was no dead ball.The first half was over and Moussa Sissoko didn't get a chance to play.
…………
At halftime, in the Liverpool dressing room, Levi decided to change his style of play.
Although in the current situation, it seems that Liverpool's defense seems to be easier to win, but today Li Wei found that Barcelona with Iniesta and Barcelona without Iniesta are completely different in offense.
He doesn't dare to bet that Barcelona can't score two goals in a row, so why don't they try to score?
What's more, this is Anfield Stadium. With the home halo bonus, Liverpool players are definitely in better condition than usual.
"We have to make changes in the second half of the game!" Li Wei said seriously, knocking on the tactical board.
"Yaya Toure and Vidal, you go forward boldly! I will let Moussa Sissoko take charge of the defense. But this does not mean that you have no defensive tasks. When attacking, pay attention to the movement of your teammates. Leave all the defensive tasks to Moussa Sissoko. You must be active when you return to defense. If I see someone procrastinating, it’s good. Come back and rest on the bench! Since you don’t have physical strength, the final Sit in the stands and cheer for your teammates!"
Then, Levi said to Carragher: "In the second half, the defense should pay attention to offside, don't let me down!"
Carragher nodded, feeling heavy pressure in his heart.
"Guys, did you allow yourself to live up to your captain's efforts?! He injured himself in order to score goals and let himself be reimbursed early in the season. After paying such a heavy price, the result was that Liverpool were eliminated at Anfield. What face do you have to meet Stephen? What face do you have to face [-] Liverpool fans?"
After looking around, Li Wei said firmly: "Our goal is to enter Wembley Stadium!"
"Going to Wembley Stadium!!!"
In the locker room, the Liverpool players looked at Li Wei firmly and let out a neat roar.
