Chapter 606: Scored twice, Harland became famous in one game!

Salah's performance was indeed outstanding. After scoring this goal, he almost completed an assist to expand Liverpool's lead.

Fortunately, Manchester City's defense withstood the pressure this time and did not make any more mistakes.

A few minutes later, Haaland completed his warm-up and was replaced.

When Liverpool saw that Manchester City had replaced a young boy who was not yet 18 years old, they felt that Manchester City was at the end of its rope.

"Who is this kid? Why haven't you heard of him before?"

"It is said that he is the son of old Haaland. He is considered the second generation of football!"

"Oh, he's his son. It seems like this kid entered Manchester City through the back door?"

The old Haaland once played for Manchester City. He sent his son to Manchester City, which really makes it easy for people to feel like they are related to each other.

After the Liverpool fans learned this inside story, they looked down upon Haaland even more. They even felt that Guardiola was out of his mind for sending such a backdoor guy on the field.

Haaland has not played many appearances on behalf of Manchester City this season, and most of them come on when the suspense of the game is lost.

He had never experienced such a high-intensity game, which prevented him from quickly adapting to the rhythm of the game after coming on the field. He even made consecutive mistakes and suffered several embarrassments.

"Boy, go down and rest, this is not the place you should be!"

After completing a successful defense, Liverpool's defender began to mock Haaland.

In his opinion, this kid is simply a stepping stone sent by the other coach to highlight his greatness.

Under his background, Liverpool's defenders all looked like world-class defenders, playing with ease.

"Haha, he's going to cry when he's beaten!"

"Oh, this kid is going to cry for his mother!"

In the stands, seeing Haaland's mistake, those who originally had concerns about Guardiola's substitution and whether Haaland would be Guardiola's surprise player completely dispelled their worries. Along with the group of people who were mocking Harland, they began to laugh unscrupulously.

"Haha, Manchester City is a bit funny. What are you going to do by sending such a person here?"

"This guy feels like an undercover agent on our side. He came on stage just to cause havoc!"

Taking advantage of Haaland's mistakes, Liverpool got several opportunities to counterattack after stealing the ball, although these attacks were blocked by Manchester City.

But these mistakes of his still brought a lot of trouble to Manchester City, not only defensive troubles, but also big problems on the offensive end.

Haaland's position on the field is that of a forward, and he wants to shoot and score. If he makes a mistake and loses the ball, it means that Manchester City's hard work in advancing and passing has been in vain. This is a blow to the team's morale. very big.

"Sorry sorry, mine!"

Harland has a very good attitude towards admitting his mistakes. After making a mistake, he immediately took the responsibility on himself and sincerely apologized to his teammates.

Seeing that he has such a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, even if his teammates have complaints in their hearts, it is difficult to express them at this time.

However, many people began to doubt whether the head coach's substitution was reasonable.

According to their original plan, Haaland would not be substituted. The head coach suddenly overturned the previous plan and replaced him with a new guy who was not in the plan, which caught them off guard.

"Be decisive after receiving the ball. Either pass the ball or shoot. Don't hesitate!"

Lin Quan walked up, patted Harland on the shoulder, looked into his eyes and said to him:

"Also, pay attention to the referee's penalty standards and use your body reasonably to gain an advantage!"

Hearing Li Linquan's words, Harland's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily and said:
"I understand, thank you, boss!"

Lin Quan glanced at Harland. He was not sure whether this guy really understood it, but he could still maintain such a mentality despite making several mistakes in succession and being ridiculed by opponent players and even fans. No. Stage fright or shrinking, this kid is really not simple.

For this reason, Lin Quan decided to give him another chance.

Seeing Haaland's successive mistakes, Liverpool despised him even more and relaxed their defense against him.

In their view, after Haaland made consecutive mistakes, Manchester City may not continue to pass the ball to him. Even if they did pass the ball to him, he would not be able to do anything for such a stupid big man.

Things seemed to be similar to what they thought. Although Harland was very active in running in the frontcourt and actively fighting with the opponent's defender in the penalty area, trying to find opportunities.

But his teammates seemed to have lost trust in him and never passed the ball to him again.

Even Lin Quan, when he gets the ball, prefers to pass it to more trustworthy teammates such as De Bruyne, or simply do it himself, without intending to pass it to Haaland.

This further strengthened the view of the Liverpool players that Haaland was given up, so they became more relaxed in their defense of Haaland.

In the 80th minute of the second half, time was running out. Although he consciously refused to pass the ball to Harland, his opponent was extremely lax in defending Harland. Lin Quan realized that the time was almost up.

In this case, let Harland create a surprise for you!

In the 81st minute, Manchester City's attack hit the left side. Lin Quan dribbled the ball and tried to cut inside. After being intercepted by many opponents, he was forced to dribble toward the baseline. The opponent's full-back was chasing after him, and the center back stared at the defender who inserted in. De Bruyne.

Another central defender adjusts his position and stands close to the goal to assist the goalkeeper in controlling the ball's placement and blocking the opponent's shooting angle.

The people of Liverpool naturally ignored Manchester City's forward Haaland, because in these ten minutes, Haaland had become a transparent person.

What made them relax their vigilance even more was that when Lin Quan was dribbling the ball down to prepare for a cross, Haaland's position was not good. Although the Liverpool players did not deliberately mark him, he himself stood on the four sides. Among Liverpool players, even if the ball flies towards him, it is difficult for him to catch the ball.

However, just when everyone in Liverpool was less wary of Haaland, Haaland made a move.

He started quickly and moved to the area with the largest space in the middle of the penalty area, where it was easiest to control the landing point. At the same time, he also made a backward movement to shake the defensive player behind him.

When Lin Quan passed the ball, Haaland judged the path of the ball immediately, quickly swung his legs, and before the two Liverpool central defenders closed the door, he volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. horn.

Karius, who was standing at the near corner, had no way to deal with this close shot, because the ball was too fast and the angle of the shot was too tricky. He had no time to react and only raised his arm symbolically. The ball had already entered the net before the saving action was even completed.

All the Liverpool players on the field were stunned, and so were the Liverpool fans in the stands.

How could this stupid guy who made frequent mistakes and was good for nothing score such a beautiful goal?

The goal just now required an extremely keen sense of smell in front of the goal, excellent shooting skills and strong psychological quality to score. Although Liverpool's two central defenders did not specifically mark Haaland, they completed the block immediately. If Haaland handled the ball more sloppily, he would have no chance to shoot.

But Haaland was extremely decisive and volleyed directly into the air without wasting a single moment of time!

After confirming that his shot had scored, Haaland rushed to the sideline excitedly, taking off his jersey as he ran, revealing the vest underneath, which seemed to be full of words.

He ran to the sidelines, turned his back to the camera, and showed the world the words on his vest - Remember my name, Erling Haaland!

He seems to be introducing himself to fans all over the world in this way, so that everyone can remember his name!
On the sidelines, Guardiola happily applauded Haaland.

This kid finally lived up to his trust. To be honest, Guardiola was actually a little worried when he saw him making repeated mistakes before.

He was worried that this kid would not be able to withstand the pressure and his performance would get worse and worse.

Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, this kid is born with a big heart.

Very good. If this is the case, then in future games, you can consider giving him more strength.

……

In the stands, old Haaland, his wife and several children were as happy as a child after seeing Haaland score, and they wanted to let the whole world know that he was his son.

The son's starting point is higher than that of his father, and his talent is better.

This made him full of expectations for his son's future, looking forward to him growing up completely in Manchester City and growing into a towering tree.

If Haaland's goal made anyone the most depressed, it was Liverpool's defenders.

Until now, they still can't believe that this guy who seems to be useless can actually score such a beautiful goal.

It must be a trick, right?
Yes, that’s definitely the case!
If not, wouldn't it make them look incompetent?

This is absolutely unacceptable to them!
So they decided to give Haaland more 'intimate care' after the game restarted!
Haaland's goal brought the two sides back to the same starting line again, but Liverpool was obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

Before the game was over, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Manchester City after the game restarted, trying to seize this last opportunity and expand the score again.

If they go to the Etihad with a score of 2:2, their chances of advancing to the semi-finals may not even be %.

So they have to attack and take the lead.

The opponent's intention was too obvious, and Manchester City was well prepared.

They dug into the fence and defended tightly, giving Liverpool no chance.

Liverpool could not attack for a long time, and the players began to become more and more impatient.

In the 87th minute, after passing several shots from the outside, Liverpool, which was helpless against Manchester City's airtight defense, had to let Salah try to break through with his personal ability.

Salah's personal ability is indeed very strong, but it is not so strong that he can single-handedly challenge Manchester City's entire defense line.

He just passed the Manchester City full-back, and before he could make the next move, the ball at his feet was poked away.

After Van Dyke intercepted the ball, he immediately handed it to Lin Quan who returned to the penalty area line. There was someone behind Lin Quan and he could not turn around immediately.

But he saw Walker, the right back facing him, so he immediately knocked the ball to Walker and pointed to the front court, signaling Walker to kick.

Walker didn't think much and followed Lin Quan's instructions.

Walker's big kick was high and far, and the ball flew towards Liverpool's half. The attacking Liverpool players retreated after seeing this.

But someone is faster than them!
When Walker passed the ball, Liverpool defender Lorenzo was ahead of Haaland in position.

But Harland relied on his super explosive power and speed to quickly catch up with the opponent!
Lorenv was startled, he didn't expect this stupid guy to be so fast!
He was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to stop the opponent.

But he felt as if he had hit a tank and was pushed away!
He originally planned to interfere with and hinder the opponent's running, but unexpectedly, his center of gravity was diverted.

Lorenv lost his center of gravity. Although he did not fall to the ground, he staggered a few times, which greatly reduced his speed. He was quickly surpassed by Harland and the distance was widened.

Alone!
Karius rushed out immediately. The opponent's kid had just scored one of his own a few minutes ago. He must not be allowed to score a second goal.

If such an unknown person is allowed to score two goals in a row, he will not only become the team's sinner, but also become a stepping stone for the other party to become famous.

Young players like Haaland are limited by the limited number of games and lack of experience in one-on-one duels with goalkeepers. Therefore, when they see the opponent's goalkeeper attack, they may feel nervous and make mistakes.

As long as he makes a mistake or fails to make the most decisive choice at the first time, Karius will have the opportunity to block the opponent's single-handed ball.

However, Karius' calculation was wrong.

Haaland does not have much experience in one-on-one ball, but his psychological quality is very strong.

After seeing the opponent's goalkeeper attack, Harland had no excuse and immediately chose to shoot, although he had not yet entered the penalty area.

But the further inside he is, the closer he is to the goalkeeper and the smaller the angle of his shot.

Shooting when the shooting angle is the largest and when you have the greatest confidence, the probability of scoring is obviously the highest.

Because Haaland is too tall, his foot skills, physical flexibility and dribbling ability are far less good than players like Lin Quan.

This is his own weakness, and he knows this very well, so he will not take risks to get past the opponent's goalkeeper.

Karius didn't expect Haaland's shot to be so decisive, and it was a ground-breaking cut that made him uncomfortable.

Although he stretched his legs to intercept at the first time, he still failed to touch the ball. The ball accurately rolled into the goal frame. The score became 2:3, and Manchester City completed the lead.

And Haaland also scored the first brace in his career in the Champions League!

In just ten minutes, he scored two goals as a substitute.

The seventeen-year-old Haaland can be said to have become famous in one battle! (End of chapter)
