Liverpool FC : heroes epic?

Just a few minutes ago, Liverpool went through the Champions League. As expected, it was a nail-biting, nerve-wrecking and anxiety-causing match. Haha okay I probably exaggerated it a little. But honestly, it kinda was. In case you didn't know, Standard Liege is not close to be called the 'underdogs'. They are actually, the Belgian champions, the club with the best history in Belgium. And Liverpool had to face them in the 3rd round of Champions League.

The first and the second half is attacking and defending from both sides. So if both teams are attacking well and defending well, there is surely nothing to choose between the two. And both goalkeepers are predators! Both always got their hands on the ball. Well Liege is not really defending though, they done a lot of man markings. And I think Torres have two of them! That's why he couldn't always gets a touch to the ball. Liege was playing quite deep. And there's two strikers waiting on the upper side. They get the ball everytime Liverpool makes any mistakes. Other than that, they do man markings and gets the ball from any Reds player's pass. They knew Liverpool's midfields are impossible to get through. And that's when they would counter attacking.

And then it was nil-nil and we're going through extra time. Liverpool was the better side this time. They're progressing very good and made some gasps along the way. By this time, I know we deserved to win it, and just have to win it. And then it was the 28th minute, and I was so sure we're going through the penalty shoot out. But it's not. There was a free kick for Liverpool and Babel took it. He crossed the ball across the goal, and Liege's goalkeeper didn't even notice the presence of Kuyt, until he deflected the ball using his feet, and nets the ball into the goal.

And it is, the flying Dutchmen, the heroes of the day. What is it with Liverpool always waiting for a hero to score the last gasp winner? First it was Torres for Sunderland, Stevie for Middlesbrough and now, Kuyt for Liege. I guess we got lucky then.

However! Liverpool-Liege game was more than entertaining. It was a good match between both sides and we hope the managers don't have any misunderstandings because it seems they were arguing at one time. Haha.

And BREAKING news! Our captain Gerrard won't be playing for 2 weeks due to a groin operation. I read somewhere, that Rafa and Stevie already knew about the injury before the match and they talked to the doctor. The doctor insisted for an operation immediately. But Gerrard insisted to play in pain, at least for a game, this game.

Okay, I have no more time. School's waiting. Goodbyebyebye!
