What Becomes of the Broken Hearted

On 2005, i blogged about the most exciting football comeback in history in UEFA Champion's League.. In 2005, Liverpool were 3-0 down to AC Milan but the Reds came back 3-3 and won the penalty shootout to lift the cup for the 5th times in our history.. This year, 2007, Liverpool met AC Milan again in the Final of the most ludicrous club football competition in the world.. Last night, we lost 1-2 to Milan, 'thanks' to 2 goals from Pippo Inzaghi.. Dirk Kuyt brought one goal back for Liverpool at the 89th minutes but the stupid referee blew the whistle 30 seconds earlier, disallowing Liverpool to make another miraculous comeback this time, shit, i've had the feeling that Liverpool will score at the very very last seconds for the past few days when i played PES with friends, and go on to win 3-2, but shit, referee blew the chance off... Anyway, this is not the thing to be blamed..

In the 1st half, Liverpool played so so well, controlled the game completely and was attacking and trying, had some good chances but just missed a goal, until right before the end of 1st half, Pirlo's frrekick at the edge of box was very luckily deflected in by Inzaghi's body, damn!!!

Then in the 2nd half, Liverpool started attacking again, made some changes by putting in Kewell and Crouch, but goal just couldn't come, until 84th minutes when Liverpool left too much space behind and Kaka got the ball and had too much time and finally made a pin-point pass to Inzaghi who slotted the ball very cooly and skillfully passed Reina into the empty net.. "Fuck!! 2-0 down, with 6 mins left, can we do a miracle again this time?" Hopes came when Liverpool got a corner and the Agger headed the ball to Kuyt and Kuyt headed the ball into Milan's net.. 2-1!! 3 minutes to go!! Possibly another God intervened miraculous comeback by Liverpool? No! whistle is blown!!! Fuck!! Disappointed, devastated, discontented, but not discouraged, disheartened..

We had beaten Barcelona, the best team in the world; Chelsea, the richest team in the world to come to this final, but to lose in the final is just heart breaking...Yea, we lost this time.. But we fought really hard, we ran like mad and our energy level was like so high that we were non stopped trying and fighting... We played really well, controlled the game totally (Manu fans, this is how u should play against Milan, haha) However, what matters most in the end of the day is the results. No matter how badly u play, a win is a win, and no matter how hard we tried, a loss is a loss.. But at least, the players can come off the pitch with their heads held high, saying: We'd done our very best, only that luck wasn't not our side this time. Even though we lost, our fantastic fans are still giving an applause and ovation to the disappointed players, singing "You'll Never Walk Alone"We'll try harder next time, play better, buy in more world class players and be more consistent next season. Take the defeat as an experience and learn from mistakes, and be stronger mentally. Who never lose? When there's a winner, there must be a loser, life's like that. Just walk on, walk on, all these defeat you can leave behind but continue to walk on to the future.. Go Liverpool FC!!

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And a sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown....

Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone....

You'll never walk alone

Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone....

You'll never walk alone.
