Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 136 Genius Coutinho, Origi! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"It's scored again! Chen Yufeng single-handedly passed the goalkeeper and scored!"

"Leicester City's efficiency is too high. They seized the opportunity in the counterattack and scored Liverpool's goal!"

Zhan Jun opened his mouth slightly and said with a wry smile: "Two to zero! Leicester City played a perfect first half of the game!"

"Hehehehe, such a competition is exciting." Zhang Lu, the instructor next to him, hurriedly said with a smile: "But Teacher Zhan Jun is in a dilemma again. It is difficult to handle no matter what."

Zhan Jun nodded in agreement, shook his head and said nothing.

There were more than ten million viewers in the live broadcast room who stayed up late to watch the game. At this time, they sent a lot of messages to the barrage.

"Two to zero!! The champion is close!!"

"Of course we don't rule out Liverpool playing a game like the Anfield Miracle, but at this time Leicester City's advantage is indeed huge!"

"As I said before, facing this kind of counterattack team, it is difficult to play when you are behind, and it is even harder to play when you are behind [-] to [-]! Because they will carry out their counterattack to the extreme!"

"Chen Yufeng scored in the final!! Hahaha, I can compete for the best player in this game. The best player in the final will be remembered along with history!! Come on!"

"Liverpool had better pray that they can at least equalize the score in the second half of the attack! Otherwise, Leicester City will win the final championship!"

"Dr. C is awesome (sound broken)!!"

"..."

Countless barrages were sent out, and this goal also aroused everyone's enthusiasm for watching the game.

For them, nothing is more thrilling than seeing Chen Yufeng score for Leicester City in the final.

Ranieri excitedly sprinted and punched again on the sidelines, and then waved his right hand towards the Leicester City fans behind him, once again arousing the cheers of the fans.

The camera then moved to the Liverpool coach's seat. The moment he saw the goal, Klopp had already walked towards his assistant coach, moving something on the tactical board and arranging something.

It seems that they will give up the first half and focus on the second half.

"Beep--!"

As the whistle signaled the end of half-time, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest with different moods.

Fans from both sides in the stadium started a new round of celebrations at this time. The new tifo was moved into the stands by their die-hard fan organizations and displayed in front of all the broadcast cameras.

“Ohhhhhhhh…!!”

Countless cheers rang out, and a new round of enthusiasm was ignited at Wembley Stadium, which was also noticed by all the fans in the world who paid attention to this game.

The on-site director then focused the camera on some celebrities in the stands. They were either stars of the two teams or well-known figures in the English football circle.

The first target was the England international who was once half angel and half devil, Manchester United No. [-] Beckham.

He appears here today with his wife Victoria, looking very dashing in a suit and tie.

Seemingly noticing the cheers and looks from the side, Beckham knew that he must have been caught in the broadcast and waved to greet everyone.

During half-time of any game, he is someone fans around the world want to watch.

Whether it's football, tennis, or golf.

Immediately afterwards, the face of Liverpool's legendary captain Gerrard also appeared. He was also wearing a suit today and stood not far behind Beckham.

"Yeahhhh...!"

The Liverpool fans at the scene burst into cheers, as if to express that they very much hope that Gerrard can still appear in today's final.

After 15 minutes, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room and started the second half of the game under the referee's whistle.

If all goes well, there are still 45 minutes left, and one side will be able to win the final League Cup trophy.

After the second half, it was obvious that Klopp's expression on the sidelines was a little nervous.

In his first season at Liverpool, he didn't want the team to end with a scoreless result, and he was also very afraid of repeating the same mistakes he made in the previous Champions League final.

He extremely hopes that this Liverpool team can give him a miracle, just like Anfield back then!

Five minutes into the game, Origi stood on the sidelines. This was Liverpool's first substitution adjustment today.

He is someone Klopp has high hopes for.

Milner quickly ran down, high-fived Origi and sat back on the bench.

Origi came on and moved to the center position, while Firmino withdrew to the shadow forward position.

This is a tactical adjustment and a signal for Liverpool to strengthen their attack.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of ball touches kept ringing on the court, and as time passed, Liverpool's offense became more ferocious.

In the 701st minute of the game, it was Coutinho, this talented player, who started his third try.

"Origi!"

After Coutinho received the ball, he called out Origi who was advancing forward, and then cut towards the inside with very fast feet.

When Morgan's sliding tackle came up, Coutinho aimed at the near corner where the defense was empty and suddenly blasted a low shot.

The football rolled out from under Morgan's crotch and quickly ran towards the near corner of the goal.

Schmeichel was defending the far corner at the beginning. At this moment, there was no time to shift his focus. By the time he adjusted, the football had already penetrated into the net.

"Whoa!" A sound of hitting the net rang out, along with the excited shouts of all the Liverpool fans at the scene.

The ball is in!
Coutinho scored a goal for them to narrow the gap!
One to two!

There is still hope!

Coutinho suddenly ran to the Liverpool fans area on the sidelines to celebrate like an unstoppable bull. He kept waving to signal the Liverpool fans to give them more support.

And this is also true. "You'll Never Walk Alone" subsequently resounded through Wembley Stadium, and all Liverpool fans' voices of hope enveloped the entire stadium.

Everything seems to be back!

"Hahaha!!"

Klopp punched hard three times on the sidelines, and some of his nervousness dissipated, leaving him with only venting.

This is the final in his fantasy. Even if they fall behind, the team can catch up and try to close the gap!
On the court, as Liverpool forward Origi quickly grabbed the ball and put it back in the center circle, the game then restarted.

Liverpool's momentum has increased, but Leicester City, which scored two goals in the first half, seems to be gradually weakening.

It's not a matter of physical fitness. They were well prepared for today's game and were not very tired. However, the worries and fears deep in their hearts surged into their hearts at this time.

When this group of grassroots players really stood here, and the championship was within easy reach in the first half, and their desire reached its peak, they were pulled back by their opponents.

The change in mentality at this time is very obvious.

They are just a group of normal people, and everything they do is difficult, just like they have gone through hardships along the way before finally standing here.

They are afraid of losing this, which may be the only moment in many people's lives to win the cup.

As a result, most people's inner defenses began to retreat, and they wanted to use defense to delay the game.

A panic appeared in the team, which led to their turnover rate gradually increasing, and the goal seemed to be in danger.

If nothing else, there will be an accident...

When Leicester City used its entire defense to successfully pass the 805th minute of the game, Liverpool finally got a chance.

Origi, Klopp's magical substitution, showed his quick feet at this moment.

He received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, continuously shook off the defense of Huth and Morgan, and shot out when Kanter came up to cover!
"Oh!"

The football hit the blocking Fox's feet and flew into the net! !
"Yeahhhhhh...!!"

The entire Liverpool fans roared wildly. At this moment, Wembley Stadium looked more like Anfield than the home of the England national team.

Origi shook his head from side to side, took off his shirt, showed off his muscles, and rushed to the sidelines to kneel down in celebration.

When he passed by Chen Yufeng, who was returning to defense, he spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, as if he was expressing something.

The entire Liverpool fans in the stadium were excited, including outside the stadium at this time, and the shouts of Liverpool fans soon came.

The two voices merged together to form a very powerful thunder that resounded throughout the vicinity of Wembley Stadium.

"Origi!!"

Klopp touched his beard, sprinted a few times, punched a few times, and vented his celebration to the extreme with a unique rhythm.

"This is Liverpool's moment! They equalized! It's unimaginable, it's all so exciting!"

From the broadcast seats on the sidelines, Zhan Jun's excited voice sounded: "Origi! A surprise player!! He saved Liverpool!!"

"The first half belonged to Leicester City. They were only 45 minutes away from the final championship! The second half belonged to Liverpool. They brought the score back to the start of the game!"

In Wembley Stadium, the players who had switched to Leicester City this time lowered their heads. They walked towards the center circle in low spirits, waiting for the final kick-off.

Ranieri next to him also looked disappointed, and an ominous premonition arose in his mind.

Not long after, the Liverpool players who had finished celebrating returned to their own half and began to prepare for the next game.

"Beep!"

As the referee's whistle blew, players from both sides fell into a fight again.

The fourth official also quickly raised the stoppage time card, and the number 1 appeared on the card, which meant that the game was about to enter overtime with only 1 minute left.

There were no accidents in the subsequent games.

Liverpool's entire army was in a hot state and pressed Leicester City for several minutes, while Leicester City huddled in front of the penalty area and defended with difficulty.

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

With the referee's subsequent three long whistles, the players on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

For the Leicester City players, they still held their position and did not let the high-spirited Liverpool score another winning goal.

For Liverpool, they played a perfect second half, recovered two goals, and dragged the game into overtime.

This is actually a very good result. Now they are more powerful. Every Liverpool player is confident of winning Leicester City in overtime.

The overtime format is very simple. It is also divided into two halves, but each half only lasts 15 minutes.

A total of three 10 minutes will be the last chance for players from both sides.

If the winner cannot be determined, the game will undoubtedly enter the most brutal penalty shootout.
