Chapter 825 The First Hat
Three to two, Southampton once again took the lead. After Du Yue scored twice, he used an assist to prove his comprehensiveness.
Southampton took the lead twice before, and Liverpool tied tenaciously twice. Can they equalize for the third time?
This is something that many people are concerned about, but it is already No. 708 minutes of the game, and there is not much time left for Liverpool.
Klopp used up the second substitution. Emre Can replaced Milner to maintain the running and attacking ability of the midfield. Milner almost ran around the field in this game, and his physical fitness declined very badly. .
Ji Ya also changed another player. Valverde came on and replaced DePaul. DePaul and Milner are in the same situation. Their running has strongly supported the midfielders of both sides. The price paid is theirs. A lot of physical energy consumption.
But such a substitution is obviously just to maintain physical fitness, not a change in tactics.
After the re-kick-off, Liverpool continued to launch an onslaught.
They don't have any other ideas now, they just keep attacking!
Constantly attacking and shooting, the opponent's goalkeeper is a substitute goalkeeper, which is always easier to deal with.
With such an idea, Liverpool ran into a very good Mendy.
Firmino changed position to the right to get the ball, and then passed the ball to Salah. Salah continued to shake and broke into the penalty area. Under the interference of Chilwell, he still kicked and shot. However, Mendy was in a good position. He blocked his shot on the ground with his foot.
Two minutes later, Liverpool's attack made a comeback. Ma moved the ball inside and outside the instep, and the ball flew to the back point. Firmino, who went forward, directly kicked up the ball and pushed the ball. Mendy fell to the ground again and blocked the ball. bottom line.
Salah took a corner kick, and Mendy who was attacked was picked off directly in the air!
"Mendy's performance is quite good! I didn't expect a substitute goalkeeper to have such an outstanding performance! Southampton is too strong, the main force is good, and the substitute is so good..."
"Now it seems that the mentality of the Liverpool players has been greatly affected. Their continuous shots were blocked by Mendy, which made them anxious! Of course, this is getting closer and closer to the end of the game. It has a lot to do with it, but there are also mood swings that I didn't expect a substitute goalkeeper to be so difficult to deal with!"
The commentators lamented Mendy's outstanding performance one after another, while Kiya breathed a sigh of relief. Mendy was indeed not affected emotionally. When he played suddenly, he also showed his level!
It's great to do this.
After all, in such a competition, players who have never experienced it are prone to mental imbalance.
Just like the mistake Karius made before, it should be a mistake that he would not have made in normal times, but he made a mistake in the final.
In fact, he performed well at other times. Although he conceded three goals, those two goals could not be saved by others, but such a mistake was bad enough.
Mendy doesn't seem to make mistakes now, so Southampton's problem is not big.
Although Gulacci's injury was an accident, Mendy's steady performance kept Southampton from being disturbed too much by accident.
This is a good thing.
On the field, Liverpool's offensive became more and more fierce, but Southampton's defenders began to defend more closely.
After all, the goalkeeper's performance is reliable, and the defender's defense is more stable.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and Liverpool's offense also became anxious.
Their offensive rhythm began to become a little disorganized, and several forwards were a little impatient in attacking, while the supporting players couldn't keep up.
Such a chaotic rhythm caused their whole to become torn apart, and both offensive and defensive ends were greatly affected.
And Southampton took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
Arnold's cross was cleared by Maguire's header, and the ball flew out of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, De Bruyne immediately passed it directly to launch an attack.
At this time in the frontcourt, Southampton actually only had Du Yue alone, and even Vardy had returned to defense, but at this time he faced a considerable space. After receiving the ball, Du Yue began to dribble forward at high speed .
Van Dijk could only fight and retreat. Although he was a top central defender, he didn't dare to rush forward in the face of Du Yue's impact, otherwise the opponent would speed up and get rid of him. Birds fly, seas widen with fish leaping.
Van Dijk fought and retreated, he had already made up his mind, and he could not retreat until he reached the penalty area - otherwise Du Yue could already threaten the gate.
And at that time, the teammates basically returned to defense.
Du Yue suddenly rushed forward.
Van Dijk hastily took a step back, but this time he retreated very measuredly, not too deep, and did not give Du Yue a chance to speed up and break through himself—and Van Dijk knew in his heart that this was the last time he backed away, and then The teammates are almost ready to defend, and they have to unite to intercept Du Yue outside the penalty area!
However, when he retreated, Du Yue quickly pulled the ball back, widening the distance between him and him.
This made Van Dijk stunned.
Then he saw that Du Yue swung his right foot and shot vigorously at this place close to 30 meters from the goal!
The ball whizzed towards the goal. At this distance, Van Dijk could no longer interfere with Du Yue's shot. All he could do was turn around and see where the ball flew...
After turning his head, Van Dijk was a little relieved. Although Du Yue's shot was very powerful and fast, it was a little bit straight. At such a distance, it is impossible for the goalkeeper not to respond.
Sure enough, Karius was already in the line of the shot, and then stretched out his hands to catch...
But his hands are weird.
The goalkeeper's save is nothing more than two types of hands-the fist is used to hit the ball, and the palm is used to save or catch the ball, but Karius stretched out his hand at this time in a claw shape-obviously, He was a little hesitant when making a save, not sure whether to hit the ball or to catch it, which caused his hands to change between fists and palms, forming such a four-dimensional hand shape.
It is well known that the human palm is difficult to grasp the ball in such a situation.
The next moment, the ball hit his finger, and then changed direction upwards. Karius, who was completely unable to react again, could only watch the ball fly upwards, and then plunged into Liverpool's goal!
Four to two!Southampton once again extended their lead at No.806 minutes!
This shot was another long shot from Du Yue, a hat-trick!Du Yue's fourth hat-trick in May!
