Chapter 331 Cannon, the Ultimate Kill!
The time came to the 80th minute, and the scoreboard still showed the score of 3:3. Manchester City players passed the ball to Aguero's feet after continuous passes, and Van Dijk was lying in front of him.
Aguero noticed that his teammates on both sides were being watched by Liverpool's defenders, and there was no good chance to get the ball. He immediately used the outside of his right foot to push the ball to the right, shaking the angle, and directly shot from the front of the penalty area.
Van Dijk is 1.92 meters tall, but his reaction is not slow at all. With the advantage of height and long legs, he stretched out his right foot to block Aguero's long shot.
The ball quickly rolled to De Bruyne who was attacking the left rib, and Henderson stuck to him to prevent De Bruyne from taking a long shot.
With no other choice, De Bruyne had to pass the ball to Danilo on the left.
Danilo played a safer game, with an attitude of not seeking credit but avoiding mistakes. He kicked De Bruyne's pass directly into the penalty area with the inside of his left foot from the left. The ball had an obvious arc from outside to inside, which looked like a good quality cross, but the problem was that it was too close to the goalkeeper.
Karius attacked decisively and took the ball off Jesus' head.
Liverpool switched from defense to offense. He threw the ball to Li Qing who ran out of the empty position with a strong hand. The Liverpool fans in the audience just cheered loudly, but were instantly replaced by boos.
Bernardo Silva, who switched from offense to defense, directly knocked down Li Qing who was turning around with the ball behind him. The referee Atkinson blew his whistle decisively and gave Bernardo Silva a yellow card.
Bernardo Silva didn't care about this. If Li Qing could turn around and get the ball smoothly just now, the defense would become very troublesome. It is worth using a yellow card in exchange for the team's successful defense.
However, Manchester City's seemingly successful defense actually hides huge hidden dangers.
Manchester City coach Guardiola saw it very clearly. In order to stop Liverpool's quick counterattack, many players had received yellow cards on Li Qing. There were still several minutes before the full game, and it was unknown whether the game could be dragged into injury time.
Thinking of this, Guardiola slapped his forehead: "What injury time am I thinking about? I want to kill Liverpool!"
Liverpool took a free kick from the backcourt, and the ball slowly turned from the right to Robertson's feet on the left. The Scottish international had a very strong assist ability and the cross was quite accurate. After receiving the ball, he looked at the penalty area and passed it directly.
Kompany chose a good position and overpowered Firmino to head the ball out of the penalty area.
In this way, the two sides attacked back and forth, and the fanatical atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium continued to rise, and the momentum was so great that even residents a few kilometers away could hear the huge cheers from the new Wembley Stadium.
High-level games often pass very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was the 89th minute of the full game. The fourth official had already brought the injury time electronic card to the sidelines and was waiting to hold it up when the full game time was about to end.
Manchester City's attack was finally ended by De Bruyne's relatively good long-range shot, which missed the right goal post and Liverpool took the goal kick from the backcourt.
At this point in the game, Guardiola's team no longer had the intention of high pressure, after all, their physical strength did not allow it. At this time, the fourth official stood on the sidelines and held up the electronic sign for four minutes of injury time.
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Four minutes of injury time! If the players of both sides cannot decide the winner, the game will enter a 30-minute overtime in the first and second half. This... is not a good result for both sides of the game, especially for Manchester City. They will face the challenge of the Blues Chelsea at home in four days. If they fail to win, the gap with the top team Liverpool will be further widened..."
Manchester City did not adopt high pressure. Liverpool's attack was launched from the backcourt, and the ball was sent to Manchester City's defensive half through one pass after another.
Li Qing was still the focus of Manchester City's defensive players. Danilo, Jesus and Fernandinho were watching closely. Henderson, who got the ball, saw this situation, shook his head, pulled the ball with his feet, turned around, and attacked the left side facing his own side.
Manchester City's left side defense was full of blood, and the right side defense was insufficient, so they needed to slowly shift back. Henderson made a long pass to Mane who was pulling to the left.
Mane was very decisive after receiving the ball. He took the ball to the ribs and gave the side to Robertson who came on as a substitute.
Since the defensive players had not returned to their positions, Kyle Walker had to come in to defend Mane.
Maybe Mane felt that the opportunity was not good, he suddenly passed the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot, and Robertson, who was inserted at high speed, chose to pass a fast low ball to the middle.
Kompany, who was guarding the front point of the penalty area, cleared the ball outside the penalty area while falling to the ground. Bernardo Silva and Mane, who were recovered in front of the penalty area, rushed to the landing point at the same time.
The falling football hit Bernardo Silva's right forehead and flew to the top of the penalty area.
"aoaooaoaooooooooo——"
In a flash, a loud cheer rang out over the new Wembley Stadium.
The on-site director quickly switched the camera, and the picture changed from a close-up to a long-range picture, just covering the entire front area of the penalty area. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray suddenly became emotional and shouted: "Li——"
Manchester City coach Guardiola looked over with the football, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart tightened.
The Manchester City fans in the audience were all in their throats, concentrating and holding their breath.
Liverpool coach Klopp subconsciously took two steps forward, clenched his fists naturally, and prayed in his heart: Come on, a world wave!
Li Qing stepped out with his right foot in a situation where there was almost no one guarding him. He stood half a meter in front of the top of the penalty area. His body weight was tilted to the right, about 60 degrees to the ground. His right arm was naturally raised to maintain his balance. His left foot was raised, and he whipped the football that fell to waist height from back to front like a whip.
"Boom~"
Fernandinho, who had reacted, only heard a crisp muffled sound. The football was like a cannonball fired from a cannon. It rushed through the gap in the crowd at lightning speed and flew to the upper left corner of the goal.
Firmino in front squatted down almost instinctively. The next second, he felt the football passing through his hair at high speed, with a faint pain.
Kompany had just stood up. He could only watch the football fly to the goal.
Goalkeeper Ederson couldn't see the football at all because of the blocked line of sight, but the sudden exclamation from the audience made him realize something...
Football!
The football emerged from the gap between people and flew to the upper left corner of the goal with a violent aura of devastation. Standing in the middle of the goal, he was powerless. His desperate eyes did not show until the football hit the snow-white net, and then he sat down in the small penalty area in despair...
"Gooooooooooooooal——"
"Lore! Lore! Absolute lore! Goal in the second minute of injury time! Made by Li Qing!"
"Incredible goal! Li Qing's volley shot broke through Ederson's goal without stopping the ball!"
"Oh-My-God!"
...
Various commentary voices suddenly burst out from the commentary booth.
