Chapter 196 The Second Goal
At the motion of referee Dunn, the players of the two teams with opposite mood returned to their respective positions to stand. With a whistle, the fierce game began again. At this time, the mood of the players of the two teams was completely different from that just now.
Just now, neither of the two teams scored a goal. At Anfield, West Bromwich Albion players must not be in a hurry, and the opponent is Liverpool, a huge team for them, and West Bromwich Albion's players are thinking that it's best to sneak into one, and they can't sneak in. Time is also good... On the contrary, Liverpool players don't think so. Instead, they try to get the first goal. Under the eyes of so many Liverpool fans at Anfield, they must show the strength of the team.
Now, Liverpool has scored a goal. Liverpool players can say that they take a long breath. The home court is both motivation and pressure. One goal can be explained to the fans. Instead, their mood is much relaxed, so they play more freely and smoothly.
West Bromwich Albion is different. Their players have a lot of heart. Some are still secretly blaming goalkeeper Holt, and more players are thinking about how to move back to the score. With a gap between goals, the situation must be different. Many players have changed from how to stabilize the defense to how to score goals.
Such a psychological gap makes West Bromwich Albion's formation a little messy in defense. This is the difference between a small club and a big club.
When a small ball club plays against a big team, the strength gap between the two also creates a big gap in the heart. In the game where the big ball meets the first goal, the advantage will become extremely obvious. For example, now Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion, after Liverpool is the first to score a goal, Liverpool players play more and more smoothly. And West Bromwich Albion's formation is a little messy, so that Liverpool has a greater advantage in the situation.
This advantage is reflected in the attack---
Twenty-ninth minute, Louis. Garcia dribbled the ball on the right side and went straight to the middle. Gerrard got the ball and pushed it to Don Jack, who received the ball and turned around and volleyed. Unfortunately, Holt played bravely and threw the ball out...
In the thirty-third minute, it was Garcia again. He and his fellow villager Alonso made three consecutive short passes on the left side, using technical cooperation to make the fans at Anfield excited. Finally, Alonso received the ball and hung it high in the penalty area. The young player Pangler passed back with a defensive header against one person. Gerrard completed a kick outside the penalty area. Shoot, but it's a pity that the ball flew out of the bottom line with the crossbar.
Just a minute later, Gerrard completed the steal at the middle line and passed it directly to Don Jack. Don Jack received the ball and squeezed a West Bromwich first, and turned around to complete a strong volley 25 meters away from the fans. Unfortunately, this foot hit a plane...
In the thirty-ninth minute, left-back Josemi made a high cross. Don Jack found an opportunity to beat two West Bromwich Albion defenders and hit the header. Unfortunately, the football was picked by goalkeeper Holt's hands. In the forty-fourth minute, Don Jack was surrounded by two opposing players on the right side. He had no choice but to pass it back to the receiver Dior, who pushed the ball to Gerrard, who received the ball and hung it directly to the left, Louis. Garcia received the ball and cut it inside and pushed it to the young player Pangler, who won the low shot, and the football popped out of the bottom line on the goalkeeper.
"Huh..."
Seeing that the ball did not score, the Liverpool fans in the audience lamented neatly. They felt that Pangler was too weak, and several good opportunities were wasted by him.
On the court, Pangler also touched his cheek with a bitter face. He felt that he had no confidence.
Why do many players have a goal shortage?
Some of them are purely because of bad luck, but most of them are because of psychological effects. If they don't score once or twice, and many times if they don't score, the players will have an instinctive resistance to the goal or other emotions, which affects their shooting efficiency, so they will not score for a long time.
In Pongle's view, he has already had a shortage of goals.
With Liverpool's fierce frontline competition, as the fourth striker, he feels that his future is unlimited... It's slim...
"Don't worry, boy. I'll pass the ball to you when I have a chance!" Don Jack said with a smile with a silent hand of Pangler's hair.
Seriously, this is revenge...
When he scored just now, Pangler touched Jack Don's hair. Now Jack Tang has a chance to retaliate back, so Pangler's handsome head shape turned into a chicken nest. The latter also looked at Jack Don gratefully and didn't care about the inappropriate word 'little boy' in Jack Tang's words at all... .. Think about it, in fact, Don Jack and Pangler are really about the same age.
However, everyone is ready to face this corner kick.
Louis. Garcia walked to the corner flagpole, and the Spanish boy with good footwork was ready to make a free throw, Gerrard, Pongle and Jamie. All three of Carragher stood on the line of the small penalty area.
Don Jack and Alonso are standing on the periphery of the crowd. Alonso is not very good at grabbing the header in the crowd, while Don Jack thinks that standing in the crowd now is not as good as having more opportunities in the periphery. After all, there are already Gerard in the crowd, and he can't increase many opportunities by himself. In case there is a chance in the periphery, There is still time to make adjustments.
With the signal of the referee, Louis. Garcia took two steps back, kicked an arc ball and only fell into the small penalty area. Most of the players looked at the football and were ready to compete for the ball.
Maybe the failure to score just now made Pangler desperate. The boy beat a tall defender of West Bromwich Albion and headed the ball to the goal in the middle, 'Oh...' There was an exclamation from the audience. Unfortunately, Pangler's luck was really not good, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced out.
At this time, no one paid attention to the chaotic restricted area, and Don Jack started from the periphery!
No one can grasp the landing point of the football, but no one reacts faster than Don Jack. After judging the landing point of the ball, he immediately started to rush to the left. At this time, many players did not know where the ball was.
The football fell to the left side of the penalty area.
The West Bromwich Albion player next to him reacted and wanted to relieve his big foot, but at the moment of stretching his legs, the football had been intercepted by a red figure.
After attracting all the attention, Don Jack smiled, turned his head and shouted, "Harvey, catch the ball!" It is impossible for him to shoot in his own position, because the goal is blocked.
The football was kicked by Don Jack to Alonso, who was happy to catch the ball and directly chose to push the shot.
Because Don Jack attracted the attention of most of the players, there is a lot of defensive strength on the left side of the goal, while Alonso is on the right side. His position is just right for shooting. The football flew over from the side of a West Bromwich Albion and flew into the net without hindrance.
"Goooooooooalll!!!!!!"
"Harvey-Alonso!!!"
With a corner kick, after grabbing the ball at the goal wall, Don Jack's pass gave Alonso a chance, who scored the second goal for Liverpool with a low shot.
