At Anfield Stadium in England, there was a sea of red on the towering stands, and waves of cheers hit the opponents who tried to challenge Liverpool.
The current score is clearly recorded on the huge electronic scoreboard: 0:3, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.
Not only Nagi, but the entire Genk team was stunned by Liverpool's absolute midfield control and smooth attack.
In the 11th minute of the game, McAllister assisted Owen to open the scoring, and 9 minutes later, Hyypia assisted McAllister to make another victory.
Only 3 minutes into the second goal, Owen completed a steal in Genk's backfield and scored twice.
So far in the game, Nagi had touched the ball only a handful of times, and under the tight defense, he has not gotten a single effective chance. 0 key passes and 0 shots are his current answers.
Is this the level of the five major leagues? Do I really have the ability to log in to this platform? Nagi fell into deep suspicion.
The head coach Aimee Antonis on the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw Nagi's state on the court.
After all, Nagi was a young player, and his mental quality was far from calm. If he continues to play, Antonis worries that Nagi will fall into the abyss of self-doubt.
Antonis has never overestimated Nagi's ability. He will definitely gain a firm foothold in a wealthy team. The reason why Genk is now in a desperate situation is related to the fact that the overall level is more than one level behind Liverpool. After all, football is eleven people exercise.
Just when Antonis was hesitating whether to replace Nagi and give up the Europa League, Nagi on the field gradually came out of self-pity. "No matter what, I will never give up. I don't care who my opponent is, as long as I do my best."
"Since the midfielder can't pass the ball, I'll catch it myself." In the 43rd minute, Nagi received the ball in the midfielder. He used a beautiful hook to get rid of the defender's pressure, and broke through to the front field with the ball.
Jamie Carragher watched Nagi's feet while retreating. Before the match, he carefully studied the opponent's information and knew that Nagi's feet had a lot of fake moves, which were very confusing, but he would not be deceived.
When Nagi came in front of him with the ball, Carragher saw that he took a big step forward with his right foot, and tried to push the ball aside with his left foot, and his center of gravity also fell to the left. "This is to use the speed to break through to the right!" Carragher stepped forward to intercept.
Unexpectedly, Nagi took a big step to the left with his left foot. Relying on the strength of his left leg, his body instantly twisted to the other side, changed the direction of the center of gravity, and pushed the ball away with his right foot to side breakthrough.
"Oh my god, this is... a pendulum! Mina used a standard pendulum to pass the English defender, and he was single-handed!"
"Facing the goalkeeper, hit the goal! The ball is in, goooooooooooooooal!"
"I didn't expect Ronaldo's famous skill to be staged at Anfield. Let's look at the ball again. Mina's body swings even more. When he leans to the left, no one thinks it's a fake move, but he Relying on the strength of his left leg, he abruptly twisted his center of gravity back."
"The media often say that Mina's footwork is good. He often surpasses people with deep-fried meatballs and cycling, which is quite a shadow of the gorgeous style of play in South America. This can be seen even more from today's pendulum."
"However, it cannot be ignored that Mina has a good sense of passing and catching the ball. The arc cross is quite threatening. It can be said that he also has the smooth coordination ability of European football. I believe that if he continues to give him room for growth, he will be able to play well to shock the world!"
After scoring the goal, Nagi rubbed the knee of his left leg, feeling that the burden was a bit heavy. In fact, he used this action in normal training. The reason why he has not used it in official games is mainly because it is harmful to the body. The damage is relatively large.
The sudden change of direction was done entirely by one leg. Even Nagi, with his hard resilience, dared not use it multiple times in a row. No wonder Ronaldo became a glass man and was frequently injured.
At the end of the first half, Genk fell behind 1:3 and scored a valuable away goal.
In the locker room, although the players in Genk were not completely desperate, the atmosphere was still very serious. Everyone was full of confusion about how to play in the second half. The head coach Antonis looked around for a week, and first said to Wang Feng: "Mina, your Is your leg okay, I see you were rubbing your leg after scoring a goal just now, the pendulum hurts too much, so don't use it frequently in the future."
Mina shook his head, expressing that he was fine, as long as he did not exceed the limit, he would not be really injured.
Anthony paused for a moment, and then said: "Everyone didn't play well in the first half of the game. This is not only due to the difference in strength, but also the lack of full compliance with the arranged skills and tactics. Otherwise, it would be impossible to concede three goals in a row."
"My request to you is very simple. Don't concede the ball in the second half. Returning to the home court in this situation, we still have a glimmer of life." After that, Antonis began to explain what everyone should do in what position, mainly marking Everyone, he explained everything in detail.
When it was Nagi's turn, he said, "Nagi, you can be a free man on the court. As long as you still have physical strength, you can appear in any position."
"Believe in yourself, don't put too much pressure on yourself, if you feel tired, just signal me to change."
Feeling the strong trust and care Antonis had for him, Nagu's nose was a little sore, he nodded solemnly, and said, "I understand, Mr. Antonis."
Changing sides to fight again, Liverpool was dissatisfied with the conceded goal in the first half, continued to attack Genk, and even Nagi had to retreat to defend. In the 61st minute, Liverpool had a corner kick and Owen's attack The door has passed the goalkeeper, but was blocked by Nagi on the goal line.
In the 77th minute, Genk intercepted the ball in the backfield, and Liverpool counterattacked on the spot. Christian Chivu could only clear the ball to the midfield with a big kick. The anti-offside was successful and he touched the ball first.
But Carragher's interference was also very serious. Nagi couldn't stop the ball directly, so he picked the ball forward, trying to use the speed to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, Carragher made a decisive foul and grabbed Nagi's clothes with his right hand. , so that he can't get away easily.
If Wang Feng fell to the ground at this time, it must be a yellow card plus a free kick, but the set kick is far away from the goal, and there is definitely no way to hit the goal directly.
At this moment, a dramatic scene appeared on the field. Liverpool goalkeeper Sandor Westveld attacked outside the penalty area and caught the flying ball with his hands.
"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and the Italian Leo Sauer ran up to Westerveld and showed him a red card!
Westerveld looked incredible, and quickly explained that he didn't do it on purpose. Sauer shook his head, indicating that if he hadn't caught the ball with his hands, the ball might have passed him and entered the goal directly. He was equivalent to destroying a A goal must have been sent off with a red card.
Sauer waved his hand, motioned for the Liverpool players surrounding him to disperse, and then told Westerveld to get off the field quickly. At this time, the camera was aimed at the coach's bench. Sterveld is not satisfied with making such a low-level error.
In desperation, he can only use one substitution quota, replacing a central defender with a substitute.
Genk also got a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area. This position is much higher than Carraghera's previous position in Nagi!
Nagi took the free kick without hesitation, ran up and hit the goal! The ball passed through the wall like a cannonball and blasted into Liverpool's goal. The young goalkeeper Giovanni Schuppe, who had just played, hadn't reacted yet and didn't make any saves.
2:3, Genk scored another goal!
After scoring the goal, Nagi quickly ran to the goal to pick up the ball, ran to the midfield, and then signaled his teammates to stand up quickly.
Take advantage of their illness and kill them!
After the kick-off again, Liverpool, who had one less player, was really uncomfortable, and the smooth cooperation was interrupted. Instead, Genk played a wave of exquisite attacks. Only 4 minutes later, in the 81st minute, midfielder Carl Beth took the ball and passed it to Nagi on the right. Nagi dribbled the ball while using continuous fake moves to confuse the defenders.
After arriving in the front field, he distributed the ball to Christian Chivu in the middle. Chivu protected the ball with his back and passed it behind the defense on the right. Nagi, who inserted in, got the ball first.
Facing the defensive players, Nagi stepped on the bicycle continuously and broke through from the bottom line to the penalty area. At this time, the defender's position was a bit problematic. He was too close to the front of the goal.
The ball draws an arc in the air and hangs straight to the far corner of the goal.
"The goal went in, goooooooooooooal! Mina, it's Mina again! He scored a hat-trick and helped the team tie the score."
"This was an epic offensive battle. In the first half, Liverpool scored three goals in a row. It seemed that the victory had been established and they entered the Europa League final ahead of schedule. Unexpectedly, in the second half, Mina staged a shocking comeback and swept all three goals from Genk. , tenaciously equalized the score."
"MINA contributed a lot to Genk's escape at Anfield."
Nagi's ambition was not limited to this. In the 87th minute, Genk launched a quick counterattack. Nagi dribbled the ball along the sideline. In order to get rid of Carragher beside him, he kicked the ball forward with a big foot, and then overtook from the outside corner. , Get the ball and enter the penalty area before reaching Carragher.
Shu Pei was very nervous at this time, he had very little experience in competitions, and he didn't know whether to attack or keep the goal. When Nagi came to him, it was too late.
Nagi pushed the far corner lightly, Shu Pei could only look at the ball and sigh.
"goooooooooooooooal! For the fourth time, Nagi pierced through the gate of Liverpool for the fourth time. His form today is really excellent. No matter how he plays, he is only 17 years old on the stage of the semi-finals of the Europa League. Big four!"
After scoring the goal, Nagi slid and knelt down to the corner area excitedly, pointing to the sky with both hands, and was surrounded by the rushing teammates. The Liverpool fans in the stands were completely silent. Their faces were full of dull expressions, and their eyes revealed shock and disbelief.
Is this still the Liverpool that aims to hit the treble, being beaten like this by a second-tier league team?
They became extremely angry, cursing the players on the field, and some fans sang the team song "You will never walk alone" sadly. Gradually, more and more fans joined in, and the whole stadium echoed. this melody.
The Genk players who were still celebrating the goal were very surprised. They didn't expect the Liverpool fans to be so tenacious.
But the time left for them was really running out. Five minutes later, when the referee Leo Sauer blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score did not change again.
4:3, Genk reversed Liverpool at Anfield! This is destined to be a game that will be recorded in history. The singing of the fans in the stands, the Liverpool players covering their faces and choking on the pitch, and the Genk players cheering, drew an artistic ending for this game.
After the game, Girard Houllier expressed his dissatisfaction with Sander Westerveld in an interview, "That was a mistake that absolutely should not have been made. victory."
Some reporters wanted to ask Houllier what he thought of Nagi. He said: "What else is there to comment on? He is definitely a world-class striker. Don't be fooled by his age. Liverpool's defense can't stop him."
"I just want to talk about the **** work permit, when will the English Football Association do something practical, quickly pass the special talent introduction law, so that we can buy Nagi, with him, let alone the triple crown, we have a chance to win the five crowns ."
Genk coach Aimee Antonis praised Nagi after the game: "He can always repay the trust of the coaching staff. I said to him, go to the field and play freely. We fully support you. Unexpectedly, he gave us a big surprise."
Many reporters are very concerned about Nagi's whereabouts. Antonis refused to answer this question: "Our main goal now is to compete for the league championship and the Europa League championship. Other things will not be considered for the time being. I believe So is Nagi."
Nagi, who scored four goals alone, was also surrounded by reporters after the game. When interviewing him, he panted and said: "I am very happy to help the team win this game. It was a difficult game. In the game, everyone tried their best, and I was lucky enough to score a goal, but this cannot do without the strong support of other players."
A reporter asked about Nagi's transfer situation, and he replied: "I don't think about it now. I believe in the club's decision. Now I only want to compete for the championship."
Some Japanese reporters also came to the scene, wanting to double-play the Maldives in the world preliminaries of the national team, but the striker's performance was not satisfactory. Hearing Nagi's opinion, Nagi said: "I think winning the game is the ultimate goal. As for What you lack in exposure, you can make up for through training."
Regarding that he was not recruited, he said: "I still say that, always be prepared."
The next day, the major European media reported on the game. It was generally believed that Sander Westerveld's low-level mistakes and Nagi's brave performance broke Liverpool's dream at Anfield, and the balance of victory has tipped over to Genk. .
