Chapter 208: Chapter 178: Zero-Angle Header Lob! Sixty Thousand Fans Silenced! _2

Rushing to the near post is the instinct of this Papans Lion.

Seventy percent of his headers charge towards the near post because there are fewer defenders and it’s closer to the goal.

As long as Icardi can head the ball, there’s a high chance it will hit the goal.

Liverpool’s two center backs, Skrtel and Lovren, can’t afford to be careless; Icardi is Inter’s most powerful header point, and he must be marked!

The two center backs closely follow Icardi.

However, as Icardi rushes toward the near post, taking away two Liverpool players, Tang Long quietly moves to the far post. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Not only does he move to the far post, but he retreats deeply, almost to the edge of the penalty area.

It’s not that there’s no one in Liverpool’s penalty area, nor is there any defender who hasn’t noticed Tang Long, with Henderson being one of them.

He watches Tang Long with great vigilance.

When he discovers how far Tang Long has retreated, Henderson is somewhat puzzled.

Yet he involuntarily slows his steps, standing slightly back toward the center of the penalty box.

From a defensive standpoint, Henderson’s position is correct; he naturally needs to guard the most dangerous spot.

However, Tang Long excels in his top-tier AI system prediction!

At the moment when Gualin touches the ball, Tang Long sees the near post, center, and far post area in the penalty box light up.

The three areas from left to right change from light green to increasingly deep green: 2%, 31%, 67%!

This is AI system’s prediction based on Gualin’s left-footed pass!

Gualin’s cross was actually intended to find Icardi’s position at the near post.

Targeting the near post with crosses is something Inter players often practice, they’ve developed muscle memory, achieving synchronized passes and runs.

The problem is Gualin used his weaker foot - his left foot.

As a midfielder, Gualin is not a trivial player, but his left foot is a weakness.

This cross didn’t manage the power and curve well, focusing on the curve but pulling the power too much, causing the ball to sail over both Icardi and Henderson, straight to the far post penalty area—

Exactly where Tang Long stands!

Facing the incoming ball, Tang Long leaps into the air!

His core muscles tense instantly, as his head whips towards the incoming ball - a header aimed at the goal!

The ball arcs like an unusual rainbow in the air, flying back towards the opposite side of the goal’s left corner.

"Clang," the ball barely misses Miliolai’s outstretched fingertip, hits the inner post, and rebounds into the net!

1:2!

Inter Milan pulls back a goal, bringing the aggregate score to 5:3!

Tang Long makes a shush gesture, putting his finger lightly on his lips towards the Anfield fans!

Shouting?

Why have you stopped shouting!

The ball slowly rebounds inside Liverpool’s goal until its inertia stops and it lies still on the grass.

Miliolai slowly rises, a face full of disbelief.

From such a small angle, he actually managed to loop it into the goal?

Practically a zero-angle header...

Just like Miliolai, 60,000 Liverpool fans at Anfield are dumbstruck.

Chelsea’s Stanford Bridge is said to be London’s library, but right now Anfield is no different for Liverpool?

All 60,000 home fans are completely speechless.

The resounding "You will never walk alone" song cut off like an unplugged speaker.

Instead, 2,000 Inter away fans shout Forza Inter!

"Go Inter!"

This chant echoes through the sky.

After the goal, Tang Long doesn’t spend much time or excitement celebrating with his teammates.

The goal is crucial, even directly changing the match’s momentum.

But Tang Long’s calm mind tells him this is far from the time to celebrate victory!

He simply claps hands, reminding them:

"Brothers, now we can be less defensive, they don’t have time, can’t score two goals against us!"

As expected, just as Tang Long anticipated, after conceding first, Liverpool’s mentality somewhat collapses.

Since Inter scored an away goal, not to mention elimination, if Inter wants to drag the match into extra time, Liverpool must score two goals within the remaining 30 minutes.

Compared to the first half, Inter has transformed!

If the first half Inter was startled at Anfield, like a frightened helpless bird.

Now Inter is akin to an eagle clutching prey, victory in sight, soaring in the blue sky!

Trying to snatch prey from this eagle’s mouth isn’t easy.

Because Inter’s morale and mental state compared to the first half has drastically shifted and swapped with Liverpool.

The victory scales begin to tip toward Inter, the away goal serves as a crucial weight, granting Inter significant psychological advantage!

Liverpool is left with no choice but a frenzy of attacks.

Rodgers waves his hand, sends on forward Markovic.

Mancini counters, guards deployed, Medel, carrying a yellow card and exhausted, is substituted by the taller Serbian midfielder Mavic to battle fiercely.

Though the match returns to Liverpool’s half, it’s a defensive drill.

But this time Inter’s fortress is solid!

Liverpool’s bombarding artillery can’t shake Inter’s walls in the slightest.

Instead, due to impatience, young Philippe Coutinho repeatedly attempts long shots from outside the box, which invariably become air balls~

Ultimately, amidst the cheers of over 2,000 traveling Inter fans, Inter Milan maintain the score until the match ends!

At the sound of the final whistle.

Inter players cheer with raised arms!

Tang Long, Icardi, Handanovic charge toward the away fans!

All Liverpool players collapse onto the ground!

Henderson, Sturridge, Lovren cover their faces in sighs!

At this moment, human joys and sorrows aren’t the same,

Away 1:2!

Home 4:1!

Aggregate over two legs, Inter Milan eliminates Liverpool 5:3, proudly advancing to the 2014-15 season UEFA Europa League final!

On the other hand, Seville brought good news from St. Petersburg.

Winning over Russian Super League powerhouse Zenit 4-2 over two legs!

This season’s UEFA Europa League champion will be decided between Inter Milan and Seville.

According to the schedule, the final will be held after the Serie A last round, the 38th Milan Derby.

Who will claim the Europa League title?

June 8, 2015, will tell!
