Chapter 229
Chapter 229
Romario slowing down is not good news for most people in Liverpool.
After all, no one knows what unexpected things this lone wolf will do at this time, and no one knows what tricks he has yet to show.
Romario, a predator who has been in La Liga and the national team for decades!
And now, even if he is very old and on the verge of retiring, no one dares to underestimate him even a little bit.
But even if they hold their breath and concentrate on guarding now, so what?
Romario looked at the dignified Liverpool people in front of him, the smile on his face flashed away.
Of course he knew what these people in front of him were afraid of, but he didn't come because he was afraid?What's more, he has already put on such a battle in a grandiose manner, and everyone knows what he is going to do now.
Almost in the blink of an eye, or just a moment of thought, the football flashed across the green field with a lightning bolt, rushing towards the opposite goal with an unstoppable force!
"boom--"
At this time, everyone heard such a huge sound!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the flying football light and shadow, and even Benitez's heart was subconsciously tensed into a ball.
Such a goal... There are very few goalkeepers in the world who can intercept it!
The current Igor Casillas can't, the current Buffon can't, and the current Kahn can't!
However, the first two people still have unlimited possibilities in the future, and Romario is getting older, and it is estimated that the possibility of even competing in the same field will be small by then, while the latter has already passed his peak period, otherwise it will be fine. Even Romario must face it with caution.
But now the person standing opposite is not the above three, but Dudek, Liverpool's goalkeeper!
He almost watched the football fly over, and all the movements of the football could be clearly reflected in his retina, but he only felt that his hands were so heavy that he couldn't move at all. He could only watch the football fly towards the door!
There was another "bang", not the sound of a football hitting the goal!
Many Liverpool fans who had closed their eyes and didn't dare to watch subconsciously opened their eyes, only to see a scene that made their eyes tear apart.
The football was clearly heading towards the goal, and even Dudek hadn't made much of a move, apparently waiting for a counterattack later.
But one person obviously didn't think so.
When everyone had given up, the people who hadn't had time to run forward didn't know when they appeared on the path of the ball, and directly collided with the football with the momentum of breaking the boat!
The football flew high, and the person fell down in response. The sound just now was the sound of him colliding with the football.
Hearing such a voice, most people's eyes widened immediately, and on the pitch, the eyes of Liverpool players also turned red.
"team leader!"
The one who fell on the ground was obviously Gerrard, and he jumped up directly. No one knew how he did it, but obviously, he paid a little price for keeping the ball, obviously at this moment he It can be seen from lying on the ground without any reaction.
"Uh..." Obviously, Romario was also confused by this situation, subconsciously touched his head, turned his head and smiled at the people around him: "Well, everyone saw it, I didn't take the initiative to play the ball The one who kicked it was he who blocked in front of the ball..."
Hearing what he said, the Liverpool players glared at him immediately, but they didn't stop to argue with him, they just buried their heads and rushed in the direction of their captain.
Aimar also ran to Romario's side at this time, coughed lightly and patted him on the shoulder: "Boss, don't worry..."
"Bah, what do I care about?" Romario almost hopped his feet. He wasn't angry at all, but he just felt a little depressed. After all, he was also very old. To put it bluntly, he belonged to that kid from Liverpool. If an uncle is a character, if he kicks something, he probably won't be able to hold back his face, "Can the kid from Liverpool stop being so messy!!"
Of course, he also knew how strong his kick was, and he also knew very well that just such a kick was strong enough to break the tempered glass of a car, and it was also enough to cause a series of injuries to a person's body, so this At that time, he was also very guilty, and after hesitating for a while, he dared to go forward to see what was going on with him.
At this time, the football has been controlled under Riquelme's feet, but no one cares where the football is. Everyone's attention is on Gerrard. The referee also went to watch for a while, but there was nothing for a long time No constructive measures were given, and in the end he waved his hand and asked Liverpool's team doctor to check it out.
Taking advantage of the surge of people who went in to check with the team doctor, Juan also glanced at the situation inside.
Gerrard was lying motionless on the ground. He didn't know what was going on. There was a person covering his body. He looked like Alonso, but he only saw it for a moment, and then the crowd surrounded him again. Go up, and you can't see what's inside again.
Juan frowned, and subconsciously looked back at Romario's direction. The expression on his face also proved that he definitely didn't do it on purpose, and Juan finally relaxed his expression.
Liverpool's team doctor had been on the pitch for a while, and they had originally entered with a stretcher, obviously ready to carry Gerrard off the field if his condition was not good, but when the team doctors came out, no matter whether it was Liverpool or Deportivo, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter what the two sides' positions are now, the competition is just a competition after all, not a life-and-death confrontation. At this time, no matter which side has a problem related to human life, others are not willing to see it.
But since the stretcher brought in by the Liverpool team doctor was not used, does this at least prove that Gerrard is still fine at the moment?
Not long after, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Belleron saw Juan and Alan who were looking forward to it on the side of the court, and immediately ran over, covered his mouth and whispered: "Gerrard is fine, fortunately, he is not stupid enough to use it." I went to catch the ball with my head, but my shoulder seemed to be a little dislocated, and their team doctor had treated him just now, and now he can continue to play."
Dislocated shoulder?
Upon hearing this, Juan didn't say anything, and the expression on Alan's face was no longer very good-looking: "Then why is he lying on the ground all this time, pretending to be dead and cheating?"
Juan coughed lightly and covered his mouth: "Alan, Gerrard missed the ball when he caught it just now, and he fell directly to the ground. I think his arms are a little dislocated, and then...he also has a head. Land first."
Although this is not as fatal as a football directly hitting the head, it is still equivalent to a person falling violently, if it is not for the relatively soft grass here, and Gerrard did not land on the back of the head , this is enough for him to suffer.
"Boss is right." Belleron nodded, and then the expression on the honest man's face suddenly became a little strange, but before the two people in front of him asked him, he continued, "One more thing... Alonso thought He fainted, and rushed forward to hold him down, almost suffocated by him, both arms were slightly injured, and couldn't be pushed away for a while, so he was held down like this..."
"..." Juan and Alan were speechless, none of them expected such a situation.
"So now..." Juan coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Is he okay now?"
"It's okay, I have to say that this kid is quite brave." When he said this, Belleron's voice also carried a hint of appreciation, "Big brother's ball, not everyone has the guts to block it... ..."
Indeed, if Romario's ball is so easy to intercept, it is estimated that he will not be a super heavy gunner who everyone hears of. Before Roberto Carlos became famous, no one in Brazil would accept Romario's long shot ?
Even Roberto Carlos would never dare to say that he can compare with Romario, let alone other people?
Gerrard dared to come up to catch the ball, and he was indeed a strong man!
So under everyone's admiration or respectful eyes, Gerrard stood up slowly, stretched his arms, and then his delicate face instantly wrinkled into a bun, looking over there while walking and shrinking. The way his neck was pumping, it was obvious that his arms hadn't been flexed yet, and seeing his lingering fear, it seemed that he didn't expect that he actually blocked the ball.
Seeing his appearance, most people laughed and shook their heads.
After all, you are still young!
Seeing Gerrard's miserable appearance on the court, Juan smiled subconsciously, but in the end he still shook his head regretfully.
He knows the importance of this man to Liverpool, but he has no intention of changing the spirit of Liverpool's team. One day he dares to bid for Gerrard, and the next day Liverpool dares to deal with the entire Depor no matter what. Runia made an offer—regardless of whether Liverpool had the financial resources or not, anyway, they would never allow others to touch their own treasures.
So Juan just looked at Gerrard who had resumed running as usual with admiring eyes, and then turned his eyes to the court.
The game still had to go on as usual, although Gerrard paused for a moment in the middle, and the two teams almost had a direct conflict on the court because of this, but then Gerrard stood up alive and kicked, and the atmosphere on both sides immediately paused , and then calmed down somewhat awkwardly.
It is precisely because of this that in the next ten minutes, both Deportivo and Liverpool felt careless. This is almost the same as the dragon and tiger fight at the beginning of the game, but they all know that, After the time has passed, the game will still continue, and the atmosphere between the two teams will become tense again. This is the normal state of the game.
But no one expected that such a time would come so quickly. After twelve minutes, Liverpool took the lead in recovering. Now their small captain obviously has nothing to do at this time, even if it was a collision There was no response to the concussion behind the head, and the whole person's eyes were burning and sober, which made Juan shake his head.
Is this kid's head made of iron...
But before everyone could react, Gerrard received the ball, and then he glanced in the direction of Deportivo, just like that, Juan frowned suddenly.
What he was trying to do, Juan didn't know, but he could see what the flame in Gerald's eyes was.
Obviously, although he himself hit Romario's heavy artillery, he still remembered the strength of such a ball, and now he seems to want to "repay" Deportivo.
Gerrard made a gesture, and Luis Garcia, who was originally on the right, ran over and followed him, forming a guarding posture. The two looked at each other and directly faced the indestructible Deportivo. The defense just rushed over!
"coming!"
Capdevila's heart tightened, because these two people were clearly coming in his direction, but soon he realized why he was here, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Why did you choose his direction? Don't you think his overall strength is relatively low?
But could it be that he was so easy to fool?
Juan watched as Gerrard and Luis Garcia surrounded the sneering Capdevila, why didn't he understand what they meant, coughed lightly and turned to look at Alan beside him with a smile: "Ai Ren, do you think Capdevila can do it?"
Although the topic of the question seemed to be very worried, in fact his expression was very calm, and he even had a faint smile on his face. Everyone in La Coruña knew what he was laughing at.
In the past, "Super Deportivo" ruled the world, and even giants like AC Milan were overthrown directly, not only because of their strong offense and defense.
Capdevila, one of the only three remaining players from the "Super Depor" era, is always smiling during training, even if those children ask about the situation of Super Depor He wasn't angry about Laco's comparison. Instead, he patiently described it in a very easy-going manner.
This is enough to prove that his temper is actually considered the best among the players, and it is precisely because of his honest and honest temper that even if Lendoiro kills the donkey at the end of the season, he has to sell all the players. The members of the "Super Deportivo" did not leave in anger, but continued to stay in Deportivo, in order to ensure that Deportivo would at least have the power to fight.
But being good-tempered doesn't mean he won't get angry when his opponent underestimates him.
So since Gerrard and Luis Garcia chose him here and expressed their contempt for him, then he naturally needn't be polite, right?
In fact, Gerald cannot be blamed for this. The other two sides are Juan Sorin and Redondo. To be honest, even though Redondo is now nearly forty years old, these juniors still have self-knowledge—— This person, it is difficult for them to compete now.
Of course, since this season, there are no juniors who are not free from scruples, nor are they latecomers who are full of confidence. Of course, there are also contemporary superstars who are of the same era as him, or who are a year or two behind. Breakthrough in front of Redondo, wanting to step on Redondo's prestige to achieve himself, not to mention that Redondo has not been broken through before. When he was in AC Milan a few years ago, he was broken in front of him by Raul. shoot?
So most people already think that Redondo is dead. His reputation is still there, but his own strength is definitely not as good as at his peak. In this case, what do they have to be afraid of? I still have to try it out!
But what about the final result?
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Owen, Zidane...
All seals!
No one can break through Redondo's blockade and truncation. No one can figure out how he did it. It is obvious that he has reached the age of retirement, but in reality?
He was still unrestrained, relaxed, freehand, still astounding everyone with his skills, and topped the crowd. No matter how vertical and horizontal he was, he seemed to be dumbfounded in front of him.
With such power alone, Deportivo's defense is as stable as a rock. Similarly, it also pushes Redondo himself to another peak.
You know, Guardiola, who is as famous as Redondo in the same era, doesn't know what kind of broken league in Qatar to play football and hone his coaching certificate by the way, but what about him?He is still standing on the court, competing with the players in his teens and twenties, almost an entire generation behind him!
Not only him, but also Romario!
These two people stood on the court, and they also showed a terrifying deterrent force, which can be said to be proud.
Of course, Gerrard will not go here with Redondo, the shadow of a famous tree, even though he is still eager to try a senior like Redondo as a rising star, but for the sake of the team, he will still choose the best The plus side.
It's not bad for Juan Sorin, but they all know Sorin's character. The impact, and almost lay down on the court, so at this time, Capdevila is the best choice.
Their wishful thinking was sound, but how could La Coruña not know what they were thinking?
Belleron's eyes flashed, and of course he could see the sneer on Capdevila's face and what the teammates around him were thinking. Out of his understanding of his old teammates for so many years, Belleron directly A choice was made-he tightened up the density of the defense again.
Looking down at this moment, it seemed that two or three people from Liverpool rushed over together, and then Deportivo's defense line tightened up, as if they were afraid and defensive.
The faces of the Liverpool crowd flashed with joy, but before they had time to do anything, they saw Capdevila take two steps forward and directly met Gerrard.
At this time, the football was being passed between Gerrard and Garcia, obviously with the idea of whoever got the ball stolen, and the other was directly following the loophole that suddenly appeared in Deportivo to pass the football in. , but Alonso, who was following them on the right, paused for a moment and smiled wryly.
Capdevila did fight directly as they thought. After all, they also knew that their current actions amounted to provocation, but the problem is... the moment Capdevila stepped forward, La Coruña The defensive line suddenly tightened, and the gap where Capdevila left was filled in an instant, and there was no more flaw to be found.
It looks like they deliberately gave up Capdevila.
Deportivo's defense, which seems to be loose and loose, is so confusing that people can't pass it, and they can't get off the ground. Liverpool have a big head, and obviously Deportivo's core is very sophisticated, leaving them no chance at all. There is no way to speak.
Of course, Gerrard and Luis Garcia also knew it in their hearts. It was obvious that their plot had been seen through by La Coruña, but they could only bite the bullet and move forward. The same is true for the thunderbolt that has been brewing in Deportivo!
After all, this was Deportivo's best chance in the entire first half!
They have never been so close to the goal for a moment!
Watching Garcia and Gerrard meet Capdevila, Juan frowned subconsciously, but he relaxed quickly.
After all, Capdevila is Capdevila. When facing the pincer attack of two people, he showed extraordinary calmness, especially when the two people were about to hit the wall in front of him. When you are extraordinary.
Gerrard and Luis Garcia's behavior of going deep into the enemy's hinterland obviously inspired the supporters of Liverpool. They cheered and were proud of their captain, but before their cheers were fully remembered, there was a Most turned into exclamations.
Capdevila was not confused by the two of them hitting the wall, he directly blocked Luis Garcia, and didn't care about Gerrard at all.
"Huh?" Frank was stunned for a moment, "Generally speaking, shouldn't it be to stop Gerrard at this time? After all, Gerrard is a relatively large threat, and he is in the middle position. If he is stopped, Garcia can be blocked at the same time." With Alonso..."
He suddenly shut up directly, not because of anything else, but because of why Capdevila stopped Garcia at this time, all the reasons appeared.
When Capdevila was blocking in the direction of Garcia, the football happened to pass from the direction of Alonso to Garcia!Obviously, Alonso's line of sight was blocked for a while, and he didn't see Capdevila heading towards Garcia, otherwise he would never pass the football to him.
