Chapter 94 Losing the suspense and seeking the moon
Chapter 94 Losing suspense (first update, please give me a monthly vote!)
During the halftime break, Daglish still never mentioned how important the League Cup championship is to him. The score is still 1:1 now. Everyone has hope of winning and no one can lose.
He will never put pressure on the team at this time.
On Cardiff's side, their head coach was sweating and was trying to win the game.
His strategy is to continue to hold on and wait patiently. He put all his treasures on Liverpool's habitual anxious performance.
"... As long as we can defend until the 75th minute, Liverpool will be in chaos! That's our chance! So during this period, we must hold on to the death!"
In fact, he has no other tricks except defending. He can't let the entire team push out and fight against Liverpool, right? That will only die faster. Maybe the game will end in the 60th minute, and the next time will be garbage time.
When Cardiff players heard that they had to hold on for 75 minutes, they lamented in their hearts - they would have to endure such a day for thirty minutes!
Every minute and every second of the first half, for Cardiff players, it is like a year... Especially the players on the defense line. Because they can't score, everyone will not blame the forwards, they will only say that there are too few opportunities. If they lose the ball, they are all on the defense line...
Someone opened his mouth and ended up saying nothing.
Because they figured it out, there was really no good way except to stick to it...
As long as they don't lose the ball, even if they are allowed to hold for 90 minutes, they have to hold for 120 minutes.
The small team has no ability at all, and there is only one way to choose. Can they still fly if they don’t follow this path?
There is still a glimmer of hope for defending to the death. If you don’t defend to the death, you will never be able to die!

With great psychological pressure, Cardiff City players stepped onto the stadium. Later, Liverpool players also appeared one after another.
The second half of the game kicked off with the referee's whistle.
From the very beginning, Liverpool showed their vigorous fighting spirit.
During the halftime break, Carragher, Reiner and Chen Yingxiong, the three captains who appeared today, led all the players to shout "Champion! Champion! We are the champions!" to cheer themselves up.
There has been no championship for six years, which is simply a shame and torment for the Liverpool people. Today, there is finally a chance to end all this, and everyone naturally wants to try hard... although not every one of these people is trying to win the championship for the revival and lifting of Liverpool.
After winning the championship, your performance is excellent, and your value will naturally be high. When you discuss contract renewal with the club, you can speak loudly, and the club still has to bear it. Why? Because they are the heroes of the championship, and without them, the team will not be able to play!
In fact, this is a final with each other's thoughts, but to outsiders, this game may become the starting point for Liverpool's re-emergence...

Under the tide of attack, Scotter took advantage of a corner kick and scored a goal to exceed the score.
At this moment, the red of Wembley Stadium was boiling.
Cardiff City is in a huge contradiction - should we defend or attack?
"Scotter! His goal overtakes the team! This is the first time Liverpool leads in the final! Liverpool fans cheered and saw hope for victory! Cardiff was in big trouble... Their tactics in this game were to defend the dead and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. It was originally very beneficial to implement this tactic, but Chen Yingxiong then equalized the score. Now Scotter overtakes the score again. Cardiff has gone from leading to falling behind. Can Cardiff continue to implement the tactics from leading to falling behind?"
Chen Yingxiong helped Cardiff answer this answer.
Just five minutes after Scotter scored the second goal for the team, Chen Yingxiong scored another goal. He seemed particularly good at adding fuel to the fire today...
He used a shot from a penalty area to secure the victory for the team.
The score has become 3:1, Cardiff no longer has the chance to win this game again...
"The goal is scored again! Liverpool has scored again! The hero scored twice in the League Cup final! His goal completely killed the suspense!"
"Poor Cardiff, now they don't have to consider whether to attack or continue to defend and counterattack... because no matter which way, it's meaningless to them!"
After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong did not take off his clothes to celebrate this time. The last time he took off his clothes to celebrate, he received a yellow card, but this time he did this not because he was sent off because he was afraid of getting the second yellow card. He wanted to give this key goal to Daglish!
He ran straight to the coach's seat, then plunged in, hugging head coach Daglish.
"This is a gift for you, boss!" he roared in Daglish's ear.
Although it hasn't even arrived for seventy minutes, Liverpool's victory has been decided, and Chen Yingxiong can finally give the championship to his boss.
And there were tears flashing in Daglish's eyes...
He has been waiting for this championship for too long... He had no hope at all, but unexpectedly he was turned up when coaching Liverpool.
“Grand Slam!”
Once this thought appears in your mind, it will be like taking root and sprouting, and it will no longer be suppressed.
He really longed to win this championship, but he kept it in until the eve of the finals and couldn't hold it in because of excitement and nervousness, and told Chen Yingxiong to listen.
If not, even Chen Yingxiong wouldn't know how much their boss valued this "small" league cup...

Chen Yingxiong's goal indeed smashed Cardiff City's luck. Now, whether it is offense or defense, Cardiff has no hope.
This game has no meaning.
Cardiff City eventually became the green leaves of Liverpool...
In the following time, the game entered garbage time.
The head coach of Cardiff City no longer continued to ask the players to defend themselves, but waved his hand - attack! If he could score a goal, it would be a waste of face!
But for some people, this is not garbage time.

Suarez called back from being warmed up and knew that he was going to play, so he was ready. However, he always felt that he was going to play soybeans - now the victory is decided, and he would definitely not be the team who needed his goal when he went up. Instead, he felt that the pressure was low now, and it was safer for him, a person who had recovered from injury, to avoid recurrence of his old injuries.
Although he knew that this was Daglish's concern for him, Suarez was still a little unwilling to accept it - he felt that his performance in the FA Cup match against Brighton was enough to impress Daglish, but he didn't expect that he was just a substitute...
Now that the game has lost its suspense, he has given him a chance to play in the last garbage time. What is this?
