Chapter 630 The first crown in 08

Like the one 5 minutes ago, Tottenham Hotspur still put up the exact same wall.

Even the positioning of the players has not changed.

Yang Yang jumped two steps on the spot, walked over, picked the ball with his right foot, and picked the ball into his hands. He carefully wiped the water stains on it with his jersey, and then gently placed it on the penalty spot. After stepping on the surrounding turf, he slowly backed away.

Xabi Alonso was with him throughout, and he looked like he was going to actually take the free-kick.

But in fact, everyone knew that this kick should be taken by Yang Yang.

……

"This is Yang Yang's third free kick in this game. The previous two were unsuccessful. He hit the wall once in the first half. This time, although he made a high-quality free kick, he failed to hold the ball and went slightly higher."

"This is his third time taking the penalty. I don't know if Yang Yang can go further this time."

"We saw Yang Yang standing on the penalty spot with Xabi Alonso, he looked very confident."

……

All the fans in the audience were also very nervous.

Even though Yang Yang has missed two free throws before, Tottenham Hotspur fans still dare not be careless.

God knows if he can make a penalty this time?

Liverpool fans are full of expectations, because they are very familiar with Liverpool and know that Yang Yang has been practicing free kicks since June last year, and the success rate of free kicks is also the highest in the team.

So, they are all looking forward to it.

But on the other hand, they are all very nervous, because it is already nine and ten minutes.

Because Yang Yang fell to the ground, stoppage time lasted 4 minutes, but the game has reached a critical stage.

……

Yang Yang closed his eyes, and he silently recalled the process of the two free kicks just now, especially the second one.

Why is it a little higher?
Can you go faster?
Yang Yang asked himself in his heart.

But all thoughts were thrown away in an instant with the referee's whistle.

Harvey Alonso glanced at Yang Yang, who nodded.

The Spanish midfielder ran out quickly and, as he passed the football, he didn't touch it.

And Yang Yang rushed out after him quickly, stepping on familiar steps, every step seemed to be carefully calculated.

When he came to the front of the football, his body tilted naturally after his left foot was firmly established.

After more than half a year of hard training, he has turned this training into an almost physical instinct.

He looked at the wall, looked at Zokola, and kicked out with his right foot quickly.

Everyone at the scene heard a bang, and the ball quickly shot out from Yang Yang's right foot.

Zokola jumped high in the wall, trying to jump as high as he could, because that was his job.

But he could clearly feel that Yang Yang's free throw almost passed over his head and fell towards the goal behind him.

……

David Robinson is very focused, he has been paying attention to the movement of the human wall.

When he saw the ball flying over the wall, the England goalkeeper's first reaction was high.

Just now Yang Yang took such a free kick, in order to cross the wall, it turned out to be higher than the crossbar.

And this time the free throw was very similar to the previous one, so he judged that the ball was still high.

But just as the ball crossed the wall, it seemed to be held down by an invisible hand in mid-air, and it was forced down, and the speed was not slow at all.

Robinson was shocked and wanted to react immediately, but it was too late.

The free throw was fast and urgent, and he didn't react immediately. Before he realized it, the ball had already rubbed against the right post and entered the net.

In the eyes of the fans at the scene and the live TV audience, he seemed to be completely stunned, and he didn't even have time to react.

……

Zokola had just landed, turned around, and saw the football hitting the net for the first time.

Tottenham's midfielder froze.

He suddenly felt a sense of fatigue, and felt that maybe he shouldn't have fouled just now.

But it was too late to regret.

……

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"A wonderful direct free kick from Yang Yang!"

"It's No. 90 minutes now, and Yang Yang scored a wonderful direct free kick at the last moment of the game."

"Two to one, Liverpool outscored again."

……

Yang Yang seemed very excited. He jumped up on the spot, and then rushed to the nearby Harvey Alonso. He jumped on his back, raised his hands high, and kept cheering.

The Spanish midfielder also laughed out loud. Seeing Yang Yang jump on his back, he ran to the sidelines with Yang Yang on his back.

Soon, Liverpool players also chased after him, and surrounded Yang Yang in groups.

Two to one!

Yang Yang's direct free kick beat Tottenham Hotspur!
This will be Liverpool's first championship trophy in [-]!
It will also be Liverpool's first League Cup title after a five-year absence!

Since Benitez took over Liverpool, the Red Army has never won the League Cup, this year is the first.

Not only the Liverpool players on the field were excited, but even the Liverpool fans in the stands were equally excited.

This championship undoubtedly made a good start for the team!
At present, Liverpool's journey in the Champions League and the Premier League is still continuing, and now they have won the League Cup, and the situation is very good.

This is something that has never happened in the past few years, if not decades.

All the Liverpool fans in the audience were cheering Yang Yang's name loudly, resounding through the entire Wembley Stadium.

On the other hand, Yang Yang was carried on the back by Harvey Alonso, raised his arms high, and cheered loudly in celebration, as if the team had already secured the victory.

In fact, everyone knows that the North London team has no chance of winning.

…………

…………

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Liverpool fans sang.

The chorus of tens of thousands of people is huge and the scene is extremely spectacular.

First there is a team song "You Never Walk Alone", followed by a song "We are the champions".

The entire Wembley Stadium was completely immersed in the festive atmosphere of Liverpool's championship.

Two to one, with the goals of Gerrard and Yang Yang, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur.

With one pass and one shot, Yang Yang was elected as the best player in the game.

After the game, Yang Yang excitedly celebrated his first championship in [-] with all his teammates.

……

Juande Ramos kept shaking his head and sighing.

Benitez knows him too well!
As early as in Seville, Ramos was very good at playing cup games, especially the UEFA Cup, and Benitez obviously knew this very well. The two sides competed once in the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season.

Ramos pays special attention to the two wings when playing cup games. He likes to use the two wings to plan the attack, even mad attack.

The most typical is the previous UEFA Cup final against Middlesbrough. Ramos' Sevilla beat McLaren's Middlesbrough dizzily, and the hearty attack defeated this Premier League team.

Benitez obviously knows this very well, so whether it is in the Super Cup or the League Cup final, he let Liverpool take a high position to press and press, and never flinch.

Even so, Lennon and Janus on the wings, as well as Robbie Keane on the front line, are more able to play the advantages of speed and impact, but it makes it difficult for Tottenham Hotspur's offense to play a threat.

It's useless to have speed in the air. If the midfielder can't give the ball, there is still no threat.

In addition, Liverpool is obviously not comparable to a team like Middlesbrough. Both Crouch and Dirk Dirk are quite threatening, and captain Gerrard is firmly suppressing Tottenham Hotspur's midfield.

Especially Yang Yang, he made Tottenham Hotspur's entire right attack almost completely misfired.

In this case, Tottenham Hotspur can't create a threat at all.

Even, if it weren't for that lucky penalty kick, Tottenham Hotspur would have been disarmed long ago.

After all, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are relatively balanced offensive and defensive, but Liverpool's overall strength is obviously much higher than that of Tottenham Hotspur, firmly suppressing the North London team.

This is a fact that Ramos, as the head coach of the team, cannot change at all.

Especially Yang Yang, Liverpool's number one star, is simply impossible to guard against.

…………

…………

"The game? I think the happiest thing is that I fulfilled the promise before the game."

After the game, while waiting for the awards ceremony, Yang Yang was in a good mood to accept interviews from media reporters.

"I said that I hope to score in the final and help the team win the championship, because I think the championship is the best affirmation and encouragement for us."

For this League Cup champion, Yang Yang believes that everyone in Liverpool should be thanked.

In fact, so far, Yang Yang has only played three games in the League Cup. Before that, he always played with substitutes and bench players. It was only in the semi-finals and finals that Liverpool began to pay attention to it, so they used the main players to play.

"Why are you always able to score goals in key games?"

After Yang Yang heard this question, he laughed, "I think maybe it's because my heart is bigger."

Soon, Yang Yang explained with a smile, "Big heart, this is what my motherland uses to describe those who are very courageous. I think all of us are very courageous, and the more critical I am, the more I want to do something."

After scoring in four consecutive games, some media believe that Yang Yang has begun to recover his state.

But Yang Yang said with a smile, "I feel pretty good now. I can continue to play many games, but there is still a long way to go from what I expected. I even think that I have not reached the height of the first half."

After winning the League Cup, everyone is happy for Liverpool, and Yang Yang believes that the team will go all out to win the Premier League and Champions League titles, especially the Premier League.

Due to the frequent loss of points by Liverpool during the Christmas schedule and the winter break, Arsenal and Manchester United are chasing fiercely. These three teams are only one or two points away from each other, so it is still unknown who will have the last laugh.

But Yang Yang believes that Liverpool has a great chance of winning.

"In the team, we have a group of very good partners. Each of us is full of desire for the championship. I firmly believe that we will definitely achieve our goals."

Not far from Yang Yang, captain Gerrard also shouted the slogan "We must win the league championship" when he was interviewed by the media.
