Chapter 344 G14's **, decisive blow!!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! Saint Allen!!!" At the moment when Chelsea's set-piece was kicked into the goal by Wang Li, Graham from Sky Sports Channel slammed the table and stood up. He had been waiting for a long time - "Allen, he equalized the score for Chelsea with an 'Ai-style curve ball'. Now is the 78th minute of the game!! Maybe many people have doubted whether Chelsea can win the game, but I have never doubted it because Allen is on the court. I am his staunch supporter. He can always find the dawn of victory for Chelsea. Yes, he is London's Saint, Saint Allen!! "

"This is also his 45th goal in the Premier League this season!! 45 goals in 21 games, this efficiency is at least unprecedented. Of course, I expect him to have a better performance in the next game, and preferably, score another goal."

At Anfield, after seeing Wang Li score, the cheers of the fans in the stands suddenly fell silent. Liverpool fans really found it hard to accept the fact that the team went from leading by two goals to being equalized by the opponent. In fact, they were even more dissatisfied that the team started to defend on a large scale after leading by two goals, and almost completely gave up attacking in the second half. This attitude of playing football made the fans feel that the Liverpool players were tarnishing the glory of the Red Army! !

If Liverpool had continued to lead the score, the Reds fans probably wouldn't have said much, but now that Chelsea has equalized the score, their dissatisfaction has exploded, and the current silence is the precursor to the explosion - "Shh~~~~~~!! Attack, we need to attack!!"

This round of boos directly ignited the entire stadium. Perhaps the person who was least popular among the Red Army fans at this moment was Liverpool coach Benitez on the sidelines.

On the contrary, many Chelsea fans opened the prepared beer to celebrate the goal, and at the same time kept shouting to cheer for Chelsea. They had waited for this moment for too long. Although Chelsea had been lagging behind and in an offensive disadvantage, none of these lovely Blues fans left the stadium. In fact, Chelsea did play very beautifully on the field.

"Champions! Champions! Chelsea will be the champions!!"

"Goal, goal, Chelsea always scores!!"

"Victory, victory, Chelsea always wins!!"

The Blues fans once again cheered in unison in the stands, cheering for the players on the field in this way, hoping that they could score another goal and win the game. In the eyes of many fans, this is not an extravagant hope, as Chelsea has not had a draw this season, and they also believe that Chelsea can win in the remaining 10 minutes.

…………At this time, in a VIP box at Anfield Stadium, two middle-aged men in suits were also pointing fingers at the game on the field.

Among them, there was a middle-aged white man with a bald head who looked a little funny, but the cunningness that occasionally appeared in the corners of his eyes proved that this person was definitely not a simple person. If some European media saw him at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. This is the AC Milan vice president in the Italian football world who can tremble three times with just a stomp of his feet - Adriano Galliani! !

This busy man didn't enjoy his family life during Christmas, but was interested in visiting Liverpool to see the sights and enjoy a battle between the North and South in the Premier League! ! ?

This is obviously impossible.

So what can he do? Is there any player worthy of the vice president's personal observation? This is very thought-provoking.

But the scene in the VIP box at this time was surprising. The bald man, Mr. Galliani, stood next to another dignified bald man and said in a flattering and humble tone: "Boss, I have observed him for a long time. Now I am very sure that this kid is definitely not a sudden explosion in just one season. Almost every goal he scores is earned by his own strength. I think with his ability, he is already the strongest football player in the world."

boss!!

Who else can Galliani call him boss? Obviously, it is only the richest man in Italy, Berlusconi. This name can definitely make the world of football tremble!

Berlusconi is a famous Italian politician and well-known entrepreneur, the founder of the center-right Forza Italia party. Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is important is that he is the actual leader and honorary chairman of AC Milan Football Club.

In this world, there are not many people who are both rich and powerful, and Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister and chairman of AC Milan, is one of them. On the list of the world's top ten most powerful and influential billionaires published by Forbes, Berlusconi ranked third, second only to the world's richest man Bill Gates and Wall Street's "stock god" Warren Buffett.

Hearing what Galinha said, Berlusconi nodded silently, looked at him with appreciation, and said, "This kid is really amazing. He can pass and shoot in this kind of game. He really lives up to his reputation. Adriano, do you think we can bring him to San Rossi in the next few days?"

"I'm afraid not. That annoying Russian will definitely refuse directly." Galliani frowned and said affirmatively.

Berlusconi also frowned, looked at him in confusion, and said, "Then what's the point of asking me to watch this game? He can't come to San Rossi anyway. Knowing that he is very good is not of much use. Adriano, you always have a purpose for doing things, just say it directly."

"Of course, boss."

Galliani smiled confidently, but in the eyes of others, it was the smile of an old fox. He then continued with certainty: "Although applying for a transfer directly is not feasible, we can start from other aspects..."

"Other aspects?" Berlusconi looked at him impatiently, but still continued to listen patiently.

"You know, Chelsea has always wanted to enter the G14. For that Russian sucker, this is more tempting than getting the Champions League trophy." Galinha said in a guiding manner.

Hearing this, Berlusconi immediately smiled. He looked at Galinha in admiration, then turned his gaze to the court and said to himself: "Sheva is very strong, but this kid seems to be more capable."

It’s a pity that no reporter was able to film the conversation in the VIP box, otherwise it would definitely cause a huge uproar!!!

The so-called "G14" refers to the G14 Group of European football. It is a non-governmental organization spontaneously established in Brussels, Belgium in 2000 by 14 European top clubs to safeguard their own interests and jointly deal with football power monopoly organizations such as FIFA and UEFA. Therefore, it can be regarded as a strategic alliance composed of European top clubs.

The goal of establishing this organization is to strengthen the clubs' voice in international competitions. The reason for the emergence of G14 is that the major clubs were dissatisfied with UEFA's competition system at the time and tried to organize international competitions without UEFA. The birth of G14 promoted the acceleration of UEFA's reform. The suffering UEFA was forced to directly reorganize the traditional Champions League, UEFA Cup, and Cup Winners' Cup into the Champions League and UEFA Cup, and revised the competition rules and quota allocation system, thereby ensuring the interests of these European giants.

In 2002, G14 absorbed another four clubs, which means that there are now 18 internal members, namely - AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus in Italy, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia in Spain, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in England, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Dortmund in Germany, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon in France, PSV Eindhoven and Ajax in the Netherlands and Porto in Portugal.

For Chelsea, joining the G14 is a very important thing. For the powerful Chelsea, obtaining a ticket to the G14 is as important as winning the championship.

In 2004, rumors of G14 expanding again were rife from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Chelsea, which had swept Europe with the power of Abramovich since 2003, immediately became the most popular candidate. Surprisingly, the year has come to an end, but there is no news of G14 expanding. Even now, the media considers it just a rumor.

In fact, it is not that the giants within the G14 do not want to strengthen the organization. As early as 2002, Perez admitted that the future of the G14 lies in all of Europe, not the five major countries. Now that Chelsea has Peter Kenyon maneuvering within the G14, the most logical candidate, Chelsea, should not be as unpopular as it is now. The G14 has been reluctant to let Abramovich sit at the round table. The most important reason is that the Russians' unreasonable forced buying and selling behavior has broken the rules between the giant clubs. They will not act rashly and let Chelsea break the internal rules.

And now, this has become an important factor in Galliani's mind to bring Wang Li from Chelsea.

Today, he brought his boss Berlusconi to Anfield for this purpose. As the vice chairman of the team, although he is capable of causing a big stir in Italy, he has no say in this matter. As a member of the G14, AC Milan is the most popular team in the Italian league. The right to speak is unquestionable. As long as he pays some capital, Berlusconi does have the ability to get Chelsea to join. Of course, the premise is - as long as AC Milan, that is, his needs are met! !

………Chelsea did not celebrate for long, as there were only more than 10 minutes left in the game. Wang Li certainly would not waste time celebrating, as he did not want to accept a depressing draw.

So, the game started again soon.

At this time, the situation on the field had completely changed. Just now, Liverpool players still believed that they could defend until the last minute of the game and become the final winner, so they had been defending very steadily and ignoring the offense. This performance could be said to be a lack of competitiveness, but it could also greatly enhance the defensive ability. But even so, Chelsea still used a set-piece opportunity to equalize the score, which made the Liverpool players not know what to do next.

"Defense, hold the defense steady!!"

As soon as the game restarted, Liverpool coach Benítez started shouting this on the sidelines. No doubt, he has completely disregarded his gentlemanly image. As a top coach produced in Spain, Benítez's tactics, vision and ability are beyond doubt. He is very clear about the current situation of the game. Liverpool players have lost a lot of confidence. If they blindly attack at this time, it will definitely lead to an unstable defense, which will definitely give Chelsea a better chance to score.

If Chelsea didn't have Wang Li, at Anfield, Benítez might have let the team go on the attack to give it a try. But he didn't dare to do that now. He knew that Wang Li's counterattack efficiency was extremely high. At least after doing that, Liverpool's hope of winning was slim, unless they scored a goal before Chelsea in a short period of time to turn the disadvantage around. But even he himself began to not believe that.

Hearing the coach's shout, all Liverpool players knew what to do next. Except for the two forwards who were still dribbling and passing the ball aimlessly in the frontcourt, the other players immediately slowed down their pace, which made a funny scene appear on the field in an instant. Pongler and Riise were ready to do a big job in the frontcourt, but the Liverpool players behind them were standing on the center line watching this scene. No one stepped forward to respond, not even the team's pillar, Steven Gerrard.

Therefore, this attack was naturally unsuccessful.

This also made the Liverpool fans in the audience even more dissatisfied. They didn’t want to see their beloved team play such a lack of confidence. The scattered Red Army fans began to leave. In their opinion, this game was really boring. Even if Liverpool held on to a draw, so what! ! ?

Compared to Chelsea, it will also be a loser, that is, it will have one more point in the league. Liverpool certainly does not lack this. One more point or one less point makes almost no difference to them.

In this situation, the situation continued the same as in the second half, with Chelsea attacking and Liverpool defending. It became a complete offensive and defensive drill on how Chelsea could break through Liverpool's dense defense.

Performing offensive and defensive drills at Anfield is definitely a serious insult to the Reds, but the players on the field and the head coach on the sidelines are not strong enough, so the fans have no choice but to boo to boycott this kind of game.

………In the 80th minute of the game, Wang Li got the ball in the middle, broke through Xabi Alonso and Gerrard successively, and passed the ball to Arjen Robben on the wing with a diagonal pass. The latter did not stop the ball, but pushed it diagonally, and the ball rolled into the penalty area. Irishman Damien Duff followed up with a volley, and the football hit the post and flew out of the net.

Just two minutes later, Chelsea came back. Wang Li blocked Gerrard and Finnan at the front of the penalty area, then stopped the ball, turned around and shot. Under the astonished gaze of the Red Army fans, the ball was blocked by defender Hyypia with his body.

In the 87th minute, Chelsea got a corner kick from the left side. Robben kicked the ball to the back post. There was chaos in the penalty area and almost all the players were a little flustered. The football was bumped around in the crowd and Benítez's heart almost jumped out of his mouth. Finally, Finnan cleared the ball out of the sideline.

………Under Liverpool’s defensive intensity, even Wang Li felt a little powerless. The human wave tactic was indeed the most shameless tactic in football. Liverpool obviously wanted to use this tactic to delay the game to the end, and he really couldn’t think of any good solution.

As time went by, the time left for Chelsea was getting shorter and shorter, and the players were getting more and more anxious. Many players even thought, "A draw is not bad." Liverpool players saw hope of keeping the score. The shorter the game time, the greater their hope. For these players, a draw at home against a strong Chelsea was indeed acceptable.

At this time, thousands of Blues fans stood up collectively in the audience stands, singing the Chelsea team song in unison to cheer for the team. The voices of thousands of people resounded throughout the Anfield stadium, which even made many Reds fans lower their heads in shame - anyone who watched the game knew that Liverpool used a style of play that was shameful for the giants to maintain a draw, which made the Reds fans unable to cheer at all.

Although they were satisfied with the result of the game ending 2:2, after facing the actual process of the game, they had to admit that the team's strength was indeed not as good as Chelsea.

At this time, the fourth official on the sidelines held up the extra time card. The bright red '3' on it meant three minutes of extra time in the second half.

On the court, Wang Li also felt anxious.

Listening to the singing of the Chelsea fans, he wished he could score another goal for the team to satisfy these fans who supported Chelsea without regrets. However, although he was very strong, he was not a god on the court. Liverpool used a set of "shameless" tactics. With his current level of Xiao Wuxiang Gong, which had not been able to break through the minor success stage, the strength he could exert was also powerless.

Perhaps, if this was a real-life PK, Wang Li would definitely win, but unfortunately, this is a football match.

But perhaps God also favors those who work hard. At the last moment of the game, when Wang Li had given up on attacking, Chelsea got another chance - a corner kick from the left.

Many people believe that the chance of scoring a goal with this kind of ball is really limited. Wang Li certainly thinks so too. Although he has scored many headers before, the ball usually lands near his position and he can hit the ball with enough force.

However, they couldn't just give up on the chance to score one more goal, almost all Chelsea players thought so, so at this time, even Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech ran into Liverpool's small penalty area to compete for a header.

It was a small restricted area, but there were 17 or 18 people inside!!

With such a dense crowd, one can almost predict what kind of football will be played.

Chaos, chaos, and more chaos!!!

This was indeed the case. When Robben took a corner kick in the middle of the penalty area, three or four people fell down in the small penalty area, and Wang Li was also trapped by several players. He had no good solution, but at this moment, the opportunity came to his feet - as a goalkeeper, Cech, who was only defended by a defender, accidentally touched the ball with his calf, and the football rolled directly to Wang Li's feet.

It would be a shame if he didn't score a goal with the opportunity arranged by God. Wang Li quickly used all his internal strength to squeeze past the defensive players. After finding a little gap, he turned around and shot the ball - the football brushed the sides of three players and flew directly into the net.

As for goalkeeper Dudek! ?

He was almost pushed into the goal by the crowd.
