Chapter 1368 Become Famous With One Goal [Part 1]

Set-pieces have always been one of the main offensive tactics for weak teams against strong teams, because only when set-pieces are weak teams dare to invest a lot of personnel on the offensive end.

Liverpool is not a weak team, but Atletico Madrid is weaker than Liverpool in terms of strength.

But now that Liverpool has become a veritable weak team in this game after being off the field because of Benatia's red card, so Liverpool attaches great importance to this set-piece.

Liverpool's two center forwards pressed up.

In the backcourt, Liverpool only left Stefan Lichtsteiner alone to defend, and the left back Ricardo Rodriguez stood outside Atletico Madrid. He is the closest Liverpool player to Stefan Lichtsteiner Steiner people.

I don’t know if it is because Liverpool’s defense is very weak. Atletico Madrid seems to be half-hearted and did not concentrate on defense, leaving Diego Costa alone near the halfway line. Diego and Koke are waiting outside the penalty area and are ready at any time Play Liverpool's counter attack after taking the football.

…………

This time, Gerrard still did not take the penalty for the corner kick, but handed it over to Modric to handle it.

In view of the fact that Gerrard was quite threatening in the corner kick tactics before, and now that Liverpool has one less offensive player, Atletico Madrid's defender Godin signaled him to defend Lewandowski, and another central defender Milan Da Ze went to defend Gerrard.

Raul Garcia was assigned the task of defending Stones.

Don't look at Raul Garcia as a full-back, but he is a player with a very strong header ability. He averaged 3.9 headers per game in La Liga.

In the Champions League, this data is even more powerful, reaching an average of 5.3 successful headers per game!
However, because Stones is a rookie, Atletico Madrid's defense against him is still not tight.

Gerrard noticed this and ran to the near post and raised his right hand high towards Modric, making a tactical gesture only Liverpool players know.

Modric glanced at Stones secretly, seeing that the England teenager also noticed Gerrard's gesture, and then looked at the defensive situation around him, Modric had a bottom line in his heart.

Modric starts a run-up.

Stones, who was originally standing outside the penalty area, suddenly ran forward, looking like he was trying to get ahead.

But Stones took a step and stopped suddenly, Raul Garcia sneered in his heart, you Liverpool people will do this!Just now it was Gerrard, now it is you Stones, did you really play me for a fool?
Raul Garcia made an emergency stop, ready to follow Stones to the other side.

But after Stones made an emergency stop, he did not change direction, but after a pause, he continued to run forward quickly.

Raul Garcia came back to his senses, feeling ashamed and annoyed in his heart, and chased after him at the first time, but with such a small time difference, he had no time to catch up with Stones.

Modric's football flew to Stones' head.

Stones jumped high, but he didn't head the ball directly. Although Raul Garcia had been thrown away by him, there was a little gap between his running position and Modric's pass. Stones felt If I barely head the ball, it is very likely that the football flew off the crossbar.So he chose to head the ball and rub the football to his other side.

This made Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak suffer, and hurried to the other side to defend.

On this side are Lewandowski and Godin. Although Godin has already marked Lewandowski, how can a top striker like Lewandowski say that you can mark him completely? What about guarding against him?
Just like this time, Godin just saw the football flying towards Stones and relaxed his attention to Lewandowski a little bit. Lewandowski seized the opportunity and rushed to the football first.

Although Oblak rushed to Lewandowski's end at the first time, how could the speed of human movement be compared with football?

Now there is half an empty goal in front of Lewandowski. He is confident that he can send the football into the goal as long as he heads the ball.

But Atletico Madrid's central defender is not a vegetarian!

Godin secretly pulled Lewandowski's jersey behind his back, just like that, which made Lewandowski's header a little bit worse.Lewandowski originally hit the goal post with a header, and he was confident that the football flew here and Oblak couldn't catch the football at all.

However, when Godin pulled the jersey, Lewandowski's header became very reluctant. It was too late to hit the football, and even the direction of the header deviated, and the football flew towards Oblak.

Although the football flew towards Oblak, and the speed of the ball was not too fast, Oblak was also caught off guard by the football.He judged Lewandowski's idea of ​​wanting to hit the far end, and he also rushed to the far end wholeheartedly. Who would have thought that the football would fly towards him, catching Oblak off guard, because others had already swooped out.

Oblak's second reaction was quick, he raised his foot and blocked the football.

Just when Atletico Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief, the football flew towards Stones.

After Stones headed the ball out, he already felt that his task was completed.Who would have thought that a great gift would come from heaven at this time, and the football would fly back.

Raul Garcia, who was behind him, was in a hurry and reached out to push Stones.

But the opportunity in front of Stones is too good!

Oblak has fallen to the ground, and in front of Stones is an empty goal.

Although Stones was pushed by Raul Garcia, his center of gravity was unstable. He originally kicked the ball with his instep, but turned into a calf hit.But it doesn't matter, Stones hit his calf, and the football still flew into the goal.

Stones also took advantage of the trend and fell to the ground. He wanted to see if he could ask the referee to give Raul Garcia, a nasty guy, a yellow card.

Atletico Madrid players raised their right hands one after another, signaling to the referee that Stones scored in an offside position.

But after the referee hesitated for a while, he chose to blow the whistle and circled his finger!

This is a goal-effective gesture!

As for Stones' wish for the referee to issue a yellow card to Raul Garcia, it didn't happen.

The referee actually favored Atletico Madrid, but because he didn't dare to favor too much, he ignored the so-called offside protests of Atletico Madrid players and justly ruled that Liverpool's goal was valid.If you want the referee to give a yellow card to an Atletico Madrid player, forget about it.

…………

The British commentator roared excitedly: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Stones! When Benatia was sent off, he stood up! He is Liverpool's hero! The defensive performance is excellent, the offensive performance is brave! His goals The ball helped Liverpool get a valuable away goal at a disadvantage!"

"Hodgson! Have you watched this game? If so, why should you hesitate! Such a genius, shouldn't he be selected for the Three Lions?"
