Shao Jiayi, Li Yin, Li Weifeng, Xie Hui and Qi Hong are all here. Everyone has a meal together. Everyone wants to witness Fan Zhiyi help Liverpool win this year's League Cup championship.

Soon, the leagues of European countries were about to end, but the Italian league ended at the latest, because in order to free up time for the Italian Olympic team to play the Olympics, the Serie A was postponed for a month. Serie A would not end on June 6, while other leagues ended at the end of May.

During the dinner, everyone talked about the finals of the Champions League next Wednesday.

"Zheng Zhi, you're going to win two Champions Leagues soon."

"You are only 21 years old."

Li Weifeng was envious, "You said that if you continue to stay in Frankfurt, does Frankfurt have any hope of winning the Champions League?"

"My brothers will benefit from it too, tsk."

Zheng Zhi shook his head, "It is unlikely. If you stay in Frankfurt, you will have hope unless there is a world-class player in every position. The Champions League is too difficult to win. I have to have a certain degree of luck. I am also lucky to have a bunch of awesome teammates, just last year's Leverkusen teammates, Ronaldinho, Ribery, Emerson, Lucio, etc. They will definitely be world-class stars in the future and the world's top. Many years later, when everyone recalls, I, it turns out that they are so awesome! They are all at the Golden Globe level."

After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, we are the same. Many years later, Chinese fans get older and recall that our Chinese team was so amazing back then. Fan Zhiyi, Shao Jiayi, Li Yin, Li Weifeng... He caught a lot of awesome players, making Japan, South Korea cry and moan, and Asia is the first. Well, fans will feel very happy, and we will be very happy. This is our happy football era."

"So, brothers and I cherish the days of playing football. We will play the Federation Cup next month and we will play the World Cup next year. This is just the beginning!"

"Oh, by the way, Big Head, I want to ask you for something." Zheng Zhi suddenly changed the subject and bent down to lift a white bag from under his feet.

"You have to hand over this bag to Ou Chuliang in person, but don't break it halfway!"

He deliberately emphasized his tone.

"What's it? Is it very expensive?" Li Weifeng's eyes fell on the bag.

"It's very expensive. This is a videotape for Ou Chuliang." Zheng Zhi nodded, "This is not an ordinary videotape. It is a training tape for Buffon and Kahn. Most people can't get it. I made a special call to ask them what they want. The level of our national team goalkeepers must also be improved, and there must be no shortcomings."

"I'm late to return to the team. You can go back first, so there will be two more weeks. Remember, I'm leaving it to Ou Chuliang, not someone else."

"Ou Chuliang still wants to go abroad. The Federation Cup and the World Cup qualifiers are a good test for him."

"Don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to him with my own hands." Li Weifeng nodded seriously.

"So too, you guys learn more from your teammates around you. Look, many media now say that Fan Zhiyi is a world-class central defender. How awesome, you can do it too."

※※※※

Germany, Dortmund, West** Stadium.

The 2000/2001 League Cup final will start at 8 pm.

Previously, Liverpool had won the FA Cup and the League Cup. If they could win the League Cup, they could become a minor triple-winner.

The opponent is Alaves of Spain, who participated in a European competition for the first time. They became the biggest dark horse in the League Cup, and they passed the hurdles and reached the finals. Of course, they hope to continue to perform miracles.

Liverpool reached the finals for the first time since 1984, and they were also quite hungry.

Liverpool is wearing a traditional red jersey. The jersey specially designed by Alaves is full blue and yellow chest bars, which looks like the home uniform of Boca Youth Team.

Sure enough, the captain of the Chinese national team, Fan Zhi, started wearing a No. 4 jersey!

Liverpool (4-4-2): Westved; Babel, Fan Zhiyi, Heipia, Carragher; Gerald, Harman, Macaulister, Murphy; Husky, Irving.

Alaves: Herrera, Contra, Carmona, Teres, Egan, 7-Jerry, Tomic, Desio, Cruyff Jr., Astudillo, Moreno.

Alaves' formation is 541, and it seems that he wants to defend himself strictly.

But just 4 minutes into the game, Liverpool won the lead. Husky won a free kick on the right, with McCallister taking the penalty. Babel grabbed the front of Astudillo and scored his sixth goal of the season in his motherland. About 20,000 Liverpool fans were extremely excited.

Both teams' midfield speed is not very fast, Liverpool's backcourt defense seems to be more stable, and Fan Zhiyi's defensive line is doing well.

Liverpool expanded the score to 2:0 in the 16th minute. After transferring through the frontcourt, Irving took the ball from the middle and made a clever pass. Gerald inserted into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one with goalkeeper Herrera. Gerald shot hard. Although Herrera saved, the ball still flew into the goal.

It seems that Liverpool's championship is a foregone conclusion. Hollier began to instruct the team to slow down the offense and start to focus on defense and fight back.

But because of this change, Alaves made a crazy counterattack.

Alaves coach Mane decisively dispatched troops when he was behind two goals and replaced Norwegian defender Egan with Uruguayan striker Ivan Alonso.

The coach is really decisive. He only took more than 20 minutes in the first half and replaced a defender. This effect is obvious.

In the 26th minute, La Liga top scorer Moreno passed back to Romanian defender Contra. Contra made a cross from the right, and Babel did not watch Alonso who had just appeared on the court, and was scored by Alonso headed back.

Although Fan Zhiyi was not the captain of this goal, he still walked to Babel and scolded Babel angrily.

I think he is not focused enough in defense, and his defense is so amateur. Although Babel scored the first goal, his most important responsibility is defense!

Fan Zhiyi got out and was also a very strong figure in Liverpool, otherwise he would not have scolded Babel.

Alaves' morale was greatly boosted and he had a continuous chance. In the 32nd minute, Teres took a free kick, and Moreno received the ball in the penalty area, but Fan Zhiyi took the lead and tackled the ball out of the baseline. After a corner kick was taken from the left, Teres turned around and shot, and the ball was saved by Westved.

In the 36th minute, Moreno missed a golden opportunity. He received a direct pass from his companion in the penalty area and cleverly dunked Babel. However, he was too hesitant when shooting, and was driven to make up for defense. Fan Zhi, who was rushed to make up for defense, made a tackle and he was kicked out of the baseline. After the corner kick on the left, Tomic shot hard and shot low at the front of the penalty area, and Westved saved the ball again.

"Awesome Fan Zhiyi!"

"I'm so bad, if it weren't for him, I think I'd be losing the ball just now."

"Babel is just a big colander, and he always asks Fan Zhi to help fill the seat."

Liverpool's defense is recovering relatively large, and the scene looks passive. If the defensive focus is not focused enough, it is indeed quite dangerous.

Fan Zhiyi's excellent performance is not just about defense.

Minute 40!

Fan Zhiyi's highlight moment came again. Alaves failed to attack. Fan Zhiyi rushed out of the penalty area. After getting the ball, he immediately sent out a long pass over the top!

Looking for the magical boy Irving, it's all right. The ball landed very well. Irving took the opportunity to unload the ball and drove the ball to the edge of the penalty area. The defender around him couldn't hold it back. Alaves goalkeeper Herrera attacked to the edge of the penalty area, but Irving easily made it and shook it over.

Herrera had to turn around and knock Irving down. The referee pointed to the free throw point without hesitation. McCallist took the penalty and scored the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Liverpool led the lead by two goals for the second time.

"It's awesome, Fan Zhiyi!"

"This penalty is also considered Fan Zhiyi's assist? Without his pass, Irving wouldn't have a chance to create a penalty, right?"

"I think Fan Zhiyi is the one who performs best now!"

At the end of the half, Liverpool led Alaves 3:1.

In the second half, Mane replaced another striker: Manho from Brazil!

Terrible coach! Decisive coach!

Liverpool fans think that when they are sure to win, the Alaves did not give up. They want to continue fighting and burst out all the energy in a crazy way.

As a result, a miracle really happened.

In just 7 minutes, Alaves magically equalized the score. In the 48th minute, Contra on the right slammed left and right, got rid of the defense of young player Carragher and passed the ball to the penalty area. Moreno still pushed the ball into the net under Gerald's defense.

Fan Zhiyi once again seemed very helpless about this goal loss.

They are all teammates of pigs...

As a result, the misfortune was endless. Three minutes later, Gerald knocked down Moreno in front of the penalty area. Alaves got a free kick opportunity 25 meters in front of the goal. Moreno shot low, and the ball passed under the wall. Westved failed to save and could only watch the ball enter the net, and the score became 3:3.

The situation suddenly changed, and the overall situation of winning the championship turned into a draw.

Even Zheng Zhi and the others in the stands were quite crazy, and they really couldn't think of such a plot.

"I feel like Liverpool is going to lose?"

"Damn it, I didn't seize the opportunity when I first scored two goals, alas!"

"This is a terrible final. Playing too relaxed and too casual, right? Apart from Fan Zhiyi, no one else is very reliable."

...

...

Hollier made his first substitution, and Czech forward Smitchell replaced Babel. He wanted to further compete with Alaves for the offensive firepower!

The offense strengthened, and Irving immediately gave the opponent's Carmona a yellow card. However, after the defense was weakened, the defense line also shaky.

Soon Fan Zhi's highlight tackles were repeated with highlights. Moreno's offense.

Both sides continued to adjust their personnel, and Husky was replaced by Fowler. Mane let Moreno, the injured hero, come off the field and replace midfielder Pablo.

Fowler seemed more active after playing, and in the 72nd minute, Liverpool surpassed again. Alaves's loophole still appeared in the middle. Fowler received a straight pass from McCallister and shot 16 meters in front of the goal, hitting the lower right corner of the goal.

4:3, Crazy League Cup Finals!

Hollier made the third substitution adjustment, and Irving was replaced by Czech midfielder Borg. Hollier didn't want to let the lead be wasted anymore.

But he miscalculated again! The Alaves didn't fall so easily. In the 89th minute, Alaves took a corner kick from the right, and Cruyff Jr. headed the ball in the defender crowd, and the score tied at 4:4.

Both sides had to enter overtime, and the substitution quota was used up by this time.

Too exciting.

The offenses of both sides in overtime have become much less popular. After all, everyone is exhausted and cannot play a decent attack. The decline in physical fitness has also increased the number of fouls and set pieces.

In the 98th minute, Haman's free kick missed the left post. One minute later, Manho tackled Gerald in the return defense, and the total number of yellow cards was sent off.

Liverpool ushered in the dawn of victory again, one more man, the army will be pushed back!

In the 101st minute, Borg's long shot was saved by Herrera. When Fowler wanted to make a comeback, he was headed by Carmona and made no achievements in the first half of the overtime game.

In the second half of the overtime game, Hollier still wanted to score. Liverpool continued to attack hard, but Alaves, who had 10 players, recovered from the entire line, and even the forwards ran back to the penalty area. Although Liverpool kept crossing from the side, no one could get the header.

Then Gerald, Harman, Borg and others shot hard outside the penalty area, but they still couldn't solve the goal.
To be continued...
