It wasn't until Valencia's players ended their celebration due to interference from the referee that Huang Jianxiang realized, "Dear viewers in front of the TV, Aiello's goal not only helped Valencia equalize the score, but also This brings his number of goals in the Champions League this season to 17, which means that he has refreshed the single-season scoring record in the Champions League that he set last season."
Listening to Huang Jianxiang's explanation, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or computer were stunned at the same time.
Oh my god, it’s us Chinese who successively set the Champions League single-season scoring records.
It’s so incredible that it finally condensed into one word: awesome Attention returned to Anfield Stadium.
After the referee dispersed the celebrating Valencia players, he walked up to Aiello, showed him the yellow card in his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your goal.
But the rules cannot be changed.”
Ai Luo spread his hands and shrugged, "No problem, Mr.
Referee."
Aiello didn't care about the referee's yellow card.
He had checked UEFA's official website before this game.
Yellow cards in the group stage were not carried into the knockout rounds, so this yellow card was for him in the knockout rounds.
The first yellow card will definitely not lead to his absence from the Champions League final due to celebration.
After finishing speaking, Ai Luo quickly caught up with Wang Xiaolei and hugged his shoulders.
Only now did he have time to ask Wang Xiaolei why he was so sure of saving the penalty kick: "How did you guess that Alonso would shoot to the right of the goal?"
"lower corner" As a result, Wang Xiaolei answered something that left Ai Luo speechless: "Guess" "Then how do you know you will save the ball when you come out?"
"Actually, I'm just trying to embolden myself, hehe."
Ai Luo was completely speechless now.
But he knew that Wang Xiaolei's career had already made a good start.
A person who can save a penalty kick in the crucial second round of the Champions League semi-finals must have a strong psychological quality.
Let’s not talk about Wang Xiaolei’s future career.
Now he has left a strong mark in the history of the Champions League. pen, and would have a profound impact on his career for the next 20 years.
In an apartment in Shanghai, China.
“My son is great” "It goes without saying that we don't care about whose seed it is."
"Old and dishonest" "" Benitez quickly got out of the shadow of conceding a goal, because he realized that conceding a goal was not the end of the team.
On the contrary, there was still an opportunity to take advantage of it, because Valencia had just equalized the score, and it was definitely There will be some relaxation.
He looked up at the time on the big screen, 62:35 I did a little calculation in my mind.
The goalkeeper was sent off before, which delayed nearly five minutes.
In other words, including injury time, there is still at least more than half an hour.
Think about it, Valencia is now With one less person to fight, we can maintain this score in the next half hour.
Huh, don’t even think about it Benitez came out of the shadows, but Liverpool's players on the field have not yet come out, especially Xabi Alonso, who missed the penalty kick.
After the restart, he made several mistakes in long-pass transfers. , either it was too powerful, or it was too weak, and the time when it was too weak almost allowed Aiello to seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly.
If Mascherano hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he used a yellow card to keep Aiello in place. , then the game will be even more dangerous.
Flores looked at the three offensive players in the frontcourt and regretted the substitution adjustment just now.
He would have known that Wang Xiaolei played so bravely.
Not only did he save the ball, but he also threw the ball to assist Ai Luo to equalize the score.
How is it possible to replace Edu?
But there is no such thing as that in the world.
So he turned to look at the bench.
There were a lot of offensive players, but no suitable defensive players.
The suspensions of Marchena and Navarro have a really big impact on the team If Benitez knew that Flores was annoyed because there were too many attacking players, Benitez would probably come over and teach Flores a lesson with his fists.
The head coaches on both sides found that there were no suitable personnel to replace on the bench, so they calmly stood still and looked at the specific situation on the field before making new decisions.
"I have to say, I really admire Rafael Benitez.
He can still stay put despite such a huge psychological gap.
It's not easy."
Just now, the camera was focused on Liverpool's bench and found that no player was warming up, so the camera was shown to Benitez with his arms folded across his chest.

This close-up of his also attracted countless commentators' speculation.
"Indeed, as the coach who led Liverpool to the miraculous victory in the Champions League in the 2004-2005 seasons, his mental endurance must be super strong.
I guess he is full of confidence in the players on the field."
The guest commentator next to him responded.
After Xabi Alonso was out of form for a few minutes after the restart, as the number of times he took the ball increased, the shadow of missed penalty kicks was also forgotten.
After all, the game continues, and there is no need to settle for a missed penalty.
I am still upset about the penalty kick.
Xabi Alonso's form has returned to strength, and Liverpool's frontcourt offense has regained a sense of hierarchy.
It is no longer like in the first half, which was simply handled by the midfielder and handed over to the wing, and then forced to cross.
Anyway, there was still enough time left.
Xabi Alonso did not believe that the team could not score a goal in the next time when leading by one person, so he was not in a hurry to use long passes to hit two goals as frequently as before.
Behind a defender, he controls the team's rhythm in the middle.
Valencia had one less player on the field, so Aiello, who usually didn't need to defend, returned to his side's defense on the left flank to help defend.
After all, this is related to my mission to bid farewell to the captain.
I want to win this season's UEFA Champions League both publicly and privately, and I must not be in the semi-finals.
Benitez raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiaolei who was standing in front of the goal.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
Didn't this kid perform very well just now?
In the first game of his career, he saved a key penalty kick in such a crucial game, and He also assisted compatriot Aiello to score a goal.
Maybe, maybe we should let him exercise more The corners of Benitez's mouth curved.
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Benitez blew his homemade whistle, and captain Gerrard ran over knowingly.
When the goal kick was taken, Benitez's latest tactical ideas had just been transmitted.
Gerrard chose a direct long-range shot in the subsequent attack.
It was very powerful and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
In addition, the ball had a bounce, which indirectly increased the difficulty of the save.
It was just a simple attempt to kick the ball, but Gerrard himself did not expect that the effect of the kick would be so good.
According to his own vision, he thought that the ball was there.
The moment before the football entered the goal, Wang Xiaolei took the ball with one palm.
Save the bottom line.
Gerrard looked at the football saved from the bottom line and sighed.
One minute later, Xabi Alonso also shot a long shot 28 meters away from the goal.
Wang Xiaolei's position was very good.
This time he was not as hasty as when he attacked Gerrard's long shot before.
He directly passed the ball.
He was held in his arms and he was not even given a corner kick.
Teammates on the back line also gave Wang Xiaolei a thumbs up.
"God, is this really the first time for Wang to participate in a competition like the Champions League?
No matter how I look at him, he looks like an old player in the Champions League.
He has excellent goal-line skills and dares to attack and catch the ball.
More importantly, he dares to face the back.
The big brother in the defense is yelling, I believe, his achievements will not be small."
Andy Gray said in surprise after Wang Xiaolei directly hugged Xabi Alonso's long shot for the second time.
If a long shot was accidental, then it would be a bit strange to use long shots to complete two consecutive attacks, so Flores sensed Benitez's latest tactical intention.
Obviously I wanted to try Wang Xiaolei's form continuity, but I didn't expect that this result would drive Benitez crazy.
Of course, Flores also realized that if he continued to let Liverpool players try long-range shots from the front of the penalty area, they would not be able to score a goal, so he shouted from the sidelines to limit the midfielders of Liverpool.

Long shot.
Baraja and Ballack were very efficient and quickly erected a barrier at the front of the penalty area.
Neither Gerrard nor Xabi Alonso got any space for long shots.
The game time passed very quickly, and it suddenly reached the 85th minute of the game.
Xabi Alonso was still patiently controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm in the midfield.
Although there has not been a good chance to score on the court, Benitez is not in a hurry off the court because he is keenly aware that the running of the Valencia defenders is no longer as active as in the previous few minutes.
He firmly believes that, As long as the situation continues to be controlled, Valencia's defensive players will definitely be physically exhausted.
Not yet at the mercy of others With good wishes, continue to focus back on the court.
Gerrard and Xabi Alonso had already passed four or five shots in succession in the middle of the field 40 meters away from the Valencia goal, but no defensive players stepped forward to interfere.
Ballack just stood there honestly.
In the defensive area 30 meters away from our own goal, even if it is more than half a meter away, we will not take the initiative to step forward.
In fact, Xabi Alonso had noticed Valencia's defensive strategy a few minutes ago, but he felt that the time on the court had not yet come, so he delayed the attack and mostly chose to pass the ball across or Passing back, we are waiting for the moment when Valencia's defense becomes distracted and deliver the fatal blow.
This is the so-called boiling the frog in warm water.
In addition to him and Gerrard, who has such ability in the team, the two have been working together for three seasons, and their tacit understanding has been cultivated for a long time.
You can see the communication between their eyebrows.
Find out what the other person is thinking.
When the two passed the ball back and forth to the seventh foot, Gerrard did not stand still, but ran forward.
He was quickly noticed by Ballack who stayed in the middle of the court, and Xavi Aaron Suo moved the ball forward two meters, and at the same time, Zenden, Riise, Crouch and Kuyt all moved forward at the same time.
This change made Valencia's defenders notice something strange. .
Think again of Xabi Alonso suddenly using his right foot, could it be a long pass:
