[Football] Crown of Thorns

"...GOAL!!!"

"Liverpool number [-] Vasco da Gama takes a free kick in attack..."

"...Dagama was seriously injured in the Champions League final in May this year and left. He has been sidelined for four and a half months. Today is his first official appearance in the new season. From the beginning of the game to the present, it can be seen that Dagama The horse's competitive state has recovered relatively well, whether it is getting the ball in the frontcourt or organizing the midfield, although it is a bit jerky, it is relatively smooth in general..."

On October 2014, 10, at Anfield Stadium, the Red Army played against Hull City at home.

For Gama, this is the first time he has stood on an official competition field since he left the stadium for nearly five months.

It feels good to be back on the court, although he feels that he is still a bit uncomfortable in adapting to the rhythm of the game.

This is the problem of not participating in official games for a long time. Why do many players feel that their performance is not as good as before after being seriously injured? First of all, this is the problem of re-adaptation.

Fortunately, his teammates still take good care of him, and often take the initiative to kick the ball over to Gama, let him keep controlling the ball in the rhythm and try to adapt to the game quickly.

Of course, in addition to adapting to the game, the injured players also have a mentality problem. The more irritable they are, the worse their performance will be.

Gama himself is not the kind of irritable person. When he felt unstable at the beginning, he was not in a hurry, but used constant passing organization to adjust his state.

After losing to Real Madrid with 3 goals in the middle of the week, although the Red Army looked a little depressed, fortunately, Gama's comeback battle is due to the good relationship with Gama, they still cheered up and kept handing the ball. For Gama...maybe because he has no spirit and is afraid of making mistakes, but at this time Gama needs constant possession of the ball.

Of course, although Gama is constantly adjusting his situation, there is still a young man on the team who has caught his attention.

"Oh my god, I didn't go in again!!!"

The home commentator yelled in annoyance.

Just now, a black guy with a red jersey number 45 on the forward front hit a single-handed ball that was close at hand.

There were boos in the Anfield stadium, but the black guy didn't care. The head under the eye-catching hairstyle kept shaking left and right, up and down, as if he was listening to a song and beating the beat. .

puff~

Gama suppressed a smile and turned his head away.

This Italian golden boy is just so much fun.

The black guy is the Italian Mario Balotelli who has just transferred to the Red Army in the new season. I have seen this man in the European Cup two years ago. It is wonderful. become teammates.

Since Gama was recuperating from his injuries, he hadn't dealt with Balotelli, and the golden boy didn't have much contact with his teammates. Well, even if Gama is rehabilitating at the base this month, he and Balotelli have a lot of contact with each other. Lotley didn't talk much either, since the timeline is different.

For some reason, when Suarez was around, Gama would get angry every time Suarez hit a fly ball.

As for Balotelli, Gama felt angry about his attitude after he must score a goal.

Before this game, Balotelli had not scored a goal for 516 minutes since he transferred to the Premier League. Therefore, the Red Army fans and the outside media hyped his scoring shortage. Balotelli also encountered a crisis of confidence. However, Rogers still chose to trust him and chose to continue to let him start today.

However, Balotelli's state is still hidden, and this shot that was almost facing an empty goal actually missed.

"Hey, you're not angry?"

Behind Gama, Furtado put his hand on his shoulder and asked in surprise.

"I don't know why, but I can't get angry when I look at his face."

Gama shrugged.

"Tsk, you don't know what young people need to exercise~~~"

Furtado pouted.

"Haha, yes yes yes~~~"

Gamaha smiled and patted Furtado's hand backhand, "Return to my place, you idiot!"

"cut!"

Furtado snorted coldly, turned and ran away.

The game continues and the opponent serves.

However, Gama, who had gradually regained control of his body rhythm, quickly intercepted the ball halfway.

The excited voice of the home commentator sounded over the stadium.

"Dagama!"

"Dagama's performance was getting better and better in the second half, he has fully adapted to the game..."

On the court, Gama received a return pass from Tomei and hit the goal. Unfortunately, the shot was blocked by the opponent's defender and went out of the baseline.

Reds' right corner.

Gerrard ran to kick off the ball. He took a high-altitude corner kick on the right. Tomei jumped up and headed the ball in the middle. El Muhammadi also cleared the ball with a header on the goal line. The ball bounced back to the field Inside, Balotelli made a follow-up shot, but the football hit the post and bounced back. This time, Gama didn't miss another chance. He volleyed hard from the crowd and scored.

"GOAL!!!"

"Dagama again!"

"In this game, Gama has already scored twice!"

"The Red Army's first goal also came from Vasco da Gama, who hit the goal directly with his free kick..."

In front of and behind him, his teammates rushed over and hugged Jia Ma, surrounded by stinky sweat, and a bright smile appeared on Jia Ma's face.

Because he was too far away, Furtado ran over a step late and failed to squeeze into the inner circle for a hug. He stared at Gama's smile in surprise for a second, and then he felt a little touched for no reason, and couldn't help laughing. up.

The previous Gama, even the Gama who has changed a lot after going back and forth to the Premier League, would show an insincere face every time he was hugged by his teammates, because he hated the smell of sweat and the smell... But now , looking at Jia Ma's indifferent smile, maybe he can sigh that he has really matured.

"What are you dazed about?"

Furtado, who was hit, twitched his lips, "Xiko, you are too shameful."

Gama, who squeezed over and tapped Furtado because he noticed that he was distracted, pouted, "You're stupid and don't let anyone tell you."

"Pooh!"

Futa gave him a blank look, turned around and ran away.

"Hey what does he mean by that?"

Gama was upset, and said to Tommy next to him with wide eyes.

Torres was speechless, and gently pushed him, "It's time to kick off."

"Hey……"

Mom D, everyone ran away in a blink of an eye.

Jia Ma only saw the referee staring at him with a smile on his face.

These unscrupulous bastards, find an opportunity to teach them a lesson...

Then Gama also hurried away.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Gama made a diagonal pass from the center, Sterling responded with a through pass, Balotelli shot from a small angle with his right foot on the right side of the penalty area, and Jakubovic struggled to block the ball.

Disappointed sighs sounded again in the stadium.

Gama shook his head.

From his point of view, Balotelli's shot was quite brilliant, but the opponent's goalkeeper suddenly blocked the ball. No one can do anything about this flash of inspiration!

Immediately afterwards, it was the Red Army's corner kick.

Still Gerrard to tee off,

In the days when Gama was absent, the first free throw shooter of the Red Army basically switched between Jie Baozi and Tomei. After Gama returned, Tomei immediately surrendered the right to the free throw. It has nothing to do with him, whoever wants to be punished will be punished!

Another right corner.

Gerrard took the right corner kick, Torres nodded the ball forward, and Balotelli made a header in front of the goal, but unfortunately, he missed the ball and the football slid out.

This time Balotelli finally waved his hands a little annoyed, his mouth was moving and he was muttering something.

Time passed quickly, and the game was coming to an end. Gamma took the ball and found an opportunity again. He kicked a diagonal pass from the left to the penalty area. Balotelli outflanked the goal again this time from 1 meter in front of the goal. Attack the goal, but the ball was blocked by Jakupovich again!

Balotelli missed a good chance to score a goal, and in this game, Jakupovich, who destroyed Balotelli's close-range goals no less than three times, slammed the ground heavily and jumped up with a loud roar. The goalkeeper of Black Sarajevo beat his chest hard, and looked at Balotelli, who was staring at him, without showing any weakness.

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

At this time, Balotelli's eyes were tight and round. He slightly raised his head and stared at the opponent in front of him. After a few seconds, he suddenly grinned and tore off his jersey and handed it over.

what is this?

Jakupovich was stunned, and it took two seconds before he looked a little dull and took off his jersey to exchange with Balotelli.

Balotelli unceremoniously put on the opponent's goalkeeper's jersey, stared at the opponent, whistled and said "Your figure is not as good as me", then he turned around and walked away.

Jakupovich, who was left in a mess in the wind, stared dumbfounded at his receding figure...

…………

"...The game is over. Judging from the situation of the game, Liverpool has an absolute advantage at home. Their shots are 17 to 6, and their shots are 4 to 3. The possession of the ball reached 76%,..."

At the post-match press conference, Rogers, who was constantly questioned by reporters: Generally speaking, in the first half of this game, we played a little slow and entered the game slowly, but in the second half the players played very well. Brilliant, lots of chances created, great performance from the team...I'm glad the players came out of the midweek defeat in time.

When reporters asked about Balotelli's scoring shortage, Rodgers said: I think he worked hard today, sometimes not being able to score will affect his confidence, but he is still trying to score.

However, most of the reporters' attention was on Gama, and Rogers was a little funny about the above question.

After the game, he asked Gama to accompany him to the press conference, but Gama refused.

Rodgers: Vasco da Gama is a very good player. Although he is young, he is emotionally stable. After nearly five months of recuperation due to injury, he still played an excellent performance. I believe he will definitely perform better.

After the game, various media also issued various comments on the game.

"Sky Sports": Liverpool's midfielder has returned to the core, and the team's overall attack power has improved.

"Daily Mail": Hull City's performance today is impressive, especially the goalkeeper is very amazing.For Liverpool, Da Gama's comeback performance is excellent, but further improvement is needed.

…………

Regarding the Red Army players, the overall score is not bad.

Da Gama (8 points): Excellent performance in the comeback battle.

Gerrard (7 points): The performance was very stable, but he could not lead the team to victory.

Balotelli (6 points): Although very hard, but the fans want to see him score, the last moment missed the lore.

…………

"Congratulations!"

"Hehe~~~"

"Don't be weak in the next Champions League game!"

"……cut!"

"Then, see you at the Bernabéu!"
