Aimée Antonis returned to the dressing room a few minutes before the second half started. He could not find new tactics to break Houllier's arrangement, so he could only encourage the players.
But when he saw the determined eyes of all the soldiers, he immediately understood something, his prepared words were left with only two words: "Go."
The two teams returned to the field and the referee blew the whistle to start the second half.
At the beginning of the match, Liverpool's strategy was the same as in the first half, applying a tight defensive stance with Vuong Phong, then leaving some space for other Genk players to encourage them to attack, to have a chance. Take advantage of.
However, unlike the first half, the Genk players did not let themselves be fooled at all. Except for Vuong Phong, who was still putting pressure on the midfield, everyone gathered behind the scenes, forming a defensive formation like an iron bucket, making Liverpool's offense completely useless.
They don't seem to be the people behind it. They defended calmly and firmly, only looking for Vuong Phong to attack. Are they stared at to death? No problem, so send it back to re-order. As for Vuong Phong, he kept running on the field, constantly wasting his physical strength, but he didn't care, he was just waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one blow.
As time ticked away at 87 minutes, the opportunity finally appeared!
Sami Hyypia, 29, finally showed signs of fatigue. When Christian Chivu passed the ball to Wang Feng, he did not move forward in time to block, allowing Wang Feng to find him between two defenders. With a gap, he rushed forward with the ball.
Vuong Phong, who was already rushing forward, accelerated. In the blink of an eye, he escaped the pursuit of the players and entered Liverpool's backyard. At this time, defender Jamie Carragher blocked, trying to use a tackle to pass the ball destructively.
But Wang Feng excellently completed every touch when dribbling, controlling the force and angle very well. When Carragher stretched out his leg, Vuong Phong took the first step and gently pushed him.
Carragher took some space. Vuong Phong caught the ball and continued dribbling. Another defender, Jerrod Bracus, went up for the first time, but Wang Feng shot the ball with his left foot onto his right foot. The whole person quickly passed through Bracus's left side. At this time, Bracus committed a foul or let Vuong Phong dribble the ball.
At this time, head coach Houllier thought to himself that he should not commit an easy foul within 30 meters of the penalty area, because Wang Feng's free kick was extremely accurate. While hesitating, Vuong Phong passed him and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Defender Kelly Schulister was near the penalty spot and centre-back Stefan Weimann was in front of the box rushing towards Wang Feng, trying to stop him.
Vuong Phong's left shoulder sank, he raised his right leg as if to shoot straight, causing Weiman to block it with his foot, but his foot went over the ball, then stepped forward a little to the right, causing Weiman to fall forward. . his.
Schlister, who came next, made a shovel miss and went straight for the ball at Vuong Phong's feet, but Vuong Phong suddenly stopped and rushed down, avoiding the shovel miss, the ball reached his left foot and flew straight, the ball bounces. He stood up and flew towards the far corner of the goal.
"Boooooooooooooooooooo! Wang Feng, this is amazing. At minute 87, Vuong Phong stood up again to save Henk!
"Excellent individual offensive performance, Wang Feng dribbled past four players and put the ball into the goal defended by Giovanni Choupei!"
"The score on the field is 1:2, the total score of the two halves is 5:5 but Genk scored 4 away goals and Liverpool only scored 2 goals."
"It can be said that Liverpool's remaining time is running out!"
After scoring, Vuong Phong raised his head to the sky and roared, as if wanting to vent the sadness of the whole match, he surpassed himself once again!
Bess was the first to arrive, jumping on his back, laughing and shouting, "I know you never let us down!"
Other Genk players also came to Vuong Phong's side one by one, everyone hugged each other to congratulate the hard-earned goal. In contrast to Henk's joy, Liverpool players appeared depressed. Carragher covered his face because of Westerveld's red card suspension. The goalkeeper replaced him and angrily kicked the ball into the goal. . On the coach's chair, when Antonis saw Vuong Phong attack with the ball, his heart also rose, because he knew this must be the last chance, until Vuong Phong scored with just one block, he jumped up. After a while, he forgot to run to the sidelines.
Houlier waved his hands helplessly and shook his head. His tactical arrangement was reasonable and effective, but he did not expect Wang Feng and the rest of Henk's players to be so tenacious.
Furthermore, Vuong Phong's ability to seize opportunities is too strong. A small mistake can also become a goal.
After the referee repeatedly reminded the Genk players, everyone dispersed to welcome the final countdown to victory. Captain Aaron Abigail called on everyone to stay focused and dedicated in the last minutes.
Liverpool, who had led for almost the entire match, were ousted at the last minute. It was a huge blow to the team's morale. Although he wanted to reorganize the attack, head coach Houllier continued to shout and command from the sidelines but in the end could not open up Henk's iron barrel formation.

At that time, Michael Owen came to meet them and overheard the conversation so he said: "Congratulations on making it to the finals. I believe you can beat your opponents and win the trophy. »
"Wang, exchange jerseys with me. This time you beat me, the next time we meet may not be like that."
The two exchanged clothes and after a brief hug, Owen left the stadium with all the Liverpool players. The loser's withdrawal is always a little embarrassing, but he will not be depressed by it. There is also the FA Cup and the National Championship. The cups are waiting to test them.
