There is a dream called football

Gerrard looked at it and saw that there were basically no passing routes and they were all blocked, so Gerrard used his best trick, which was a violent long shot.

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops and horses come to meet you.

Gerrard's violent long-range shot made many goalkeepers scared, and this time he faced Germany's penalty kick goalkeeper Butt.

The reason why Bute is famous is not because he is very good at goalkeeping, but because he is particularly good at taking penalty kicks, so fans call him penalty kick goalkeeper.

The moment Gerrard took the shot, Butt was nervous because the ball looked very strong and floated a bit in the air.

Butt didn't dare to make any moves for this kind of ball in advance because it might change direction. Sure enough, the ball swayed in the air, and Butt punched the ball hard.

The on-site commentator sighed, Gerrard's ball was really beautiful, but it was a pity that he still didn't score.

"Almost, I thought this goal would go in. Stephen's blast was as scary as Beckham's free kick."

Unlike other teams, Leverkusen doesn't care much about Liverpool's breakthrough on the wing. Maybe it feels that Liverpool's center cannot threaten them?

However, German teams have never been afraid of opponents' crosses, especially high balls. After all, this is the German's special skill.

Li Qiao and Kewell made breakthroughs and made passes again and again, but Baros in the middle couldn't get the ball at all.

"Pass it as you please."

This is the subtext in Augenthaler's mind.

Li Qiao knew that it was not that he was very powerful, but that his opponent had really let go of the wing and strengthened the center, which made it very easy for Li Qiao to get past him on the wing.

But such random crosses have no effect.

Benitez looked at his high center forward Neal, but he would definitely not make a substitution. It is very simple. If the team's cross is a threat, the opponent will immediately strengthen the blocking on the wing.

Li Qiao continued to break through on the wing, and then when he made the pass, he looked at Baros. Just when the Leverkusen people thought that Li Qiao was still sending a curve ball to the center, Li Qiao's ankle

With a flick of his eye, the inverted triangle was sent back to the area in front of the penalty area.

In front of the restricted area!

Augenthaler took a look and took a breath. There was no one protecting him in front of the penalty area, and the ball was heading towards Gerrard.

Everyone should be able to guess what is going to happen next, that is, Gerrard shoots with a kick, and then...

It depends on who has better luck on both sides.

Gerrard faced this situation thousands of times. He knew that he couldn't use force. If he used force, it would explode.

Instead, you must push with the arch of your feet. The force does not need to be too great, but the direction must be controlled well.

Gerrard pushed with the arch of his foot, and the force was very crisp. The ball did not fly away, but went towards the goal. Bute was ready to prepare, but the ball was beyond his range, but what he didn't expect was that Juan, who was returning to defend, happened to

In front of the goal, he pushed the ball out of the goal range.

Anfield exploded, this goal should have been scored, but it's a pity that the opponent's defender is amazing.

"Is this okay?"

Bute touched Juan's bald head and said, "You saved us."

"Haha, I accidentally ran back. I'm really lucky."

"Luck is also very important in the game."

"right."

Benitez lamented that although it was at home, luck seemed to be on the opponent's side. He had already had two chances to score, but both were just a hair's breadth away.

After Liverpool attacked, Leverkusen was able to organize a counterattack. After all, we were in the top 16 of the Champions League, and no one was particularly weak.

Therefore, Leverkusen's counterattack was also very sharp. The ball was passed to the feet of the old international player Schneider. Schneider is an old international player who participated in the 2000 European Cup, but in Leverkusen, he is still the absolute main force.

He sent a ball straight to Voronin.

Voronin stepped on a bicycle and was about to break through. At this moment, his left foot hit his right foot and he fell.

Carragher, who was guarding him, laughed. Just as he was about to take the ball, the referee pointed to the spot.

Carragher couldn't believe his eyes and kept wagging his fingers, "I didn't touch him."

Voronin did not speak, because the referee was far away. In fact, the referee did not see clearly, but based on experience, he felt that Voronin did not dive.

In fact, it is very obvious whether it is a fake fall, because when a person actually falls, his posture is more natural.

Voronin did not dive, but he tripped over himself. The referee did not expect such a bizarre result.

Carragher shouted at Voronin: "Speak, did I not touch you?"

"I really didn't touch him."

But the referee seemed to think it didn't matter. It was a penalty kick. He believed in his own judgment, and in that era, it was impossible to change the penalty.

Benitez actually didn't see it clearly because he was too far away. He just vaguely felt that Voronin's fall was real. After the game, Benitez was so happy when he saw the replay.

Penalty kick.

What is very strange for Leverkusen is that their first penalty kicker turned out to be goalkeeper Bute.

This is risky. Augenthaler is actually very hesitant to let Bute take the penalty kick. If it doesn't score, it will be troublesome.

But Bute was already running forward, looking very determined.

European head coaches generally respect their players, and Bute is indeed a penalty kick expert. Maybe it would be better to give him the penalty kick at this time. This is like gambling, two sides of the same coin, who knows?

!!

Bute ran forward and his teammates patted him, seemingly encouraging him to kick the ball in.

Bute doesn't know when he fell in love with penalty kicks, but he just likes to study penalty kicks. He has studied various penalty kicks.

The on-site commentators were excited. On one side was the goalkeeper who was best at taking penalty kicks, and on the other side was the goalkeeper who was best at saving penalty kicks.

Bute pk Dudek.

The Pole was already dancing on the goal line, but Bute knew that it was psychological interference, so just don't look at it. The referee pointed to his whistle and said that he must blow the whistle before kicking it.

Butt nodded.

Dudek was still provoking, "If you can't score, we will score. The door behind you is empty."

"Your goal is empty."

The referee blew the whistle, Bute started to run up, and then pushed the ball. The ball was not powerful, but it was aimed at the blind spot.

but……

This time luck came to Liverpool's side. Bute completely deceived Dudek, but because the angle was too tricky, the ball hit the post.

The ball didn't go in, but Bute could only run back quickly. Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't help it.

Augental snorted, what a pity, this was the best chance before the end of the first half, but it was a pity that he didn't score.

"What a pity. It would have been great if we could have ended the first half with 1-0."

Benitez on the other side finally had fun.
