Football’s First Defender

Two goals behind, although the game time is still more than 30 minutes, but for the Liverpool players playing away, this is already a big gap.

Facing this kind of adversity, although the head coach will find ways to unify his thoughts by shouting loudly on the sidelines and reminding a few players, but some people are strong and others are weak when it comes to personal thinking. In such adversity, it is actually not that easy to unify and strengthen our thinking.

The same is true for the Liverpool players. Some people already think that when they are two goals behind, they are still at Old Trafford. The team has no chance and lacks a certain fighting spirit.

And some people are still full of desire to score goals, hope to score goals, help the team narrow the disadvantages, and even still full of hope for an equalizer.

For example, Gerrard, the legendary captain of Liverpool, Suarez, who has already regarded himself as a "red soldier", and Sturridge, who has just transferred but is very eager to prove his ability, and of course, he is never willing to admit defeat, and will never give up. Yang Feng, who is passionate about the game.

Even if they are facing the current Premier League leader Manchester United, even if the opponent's defense has caused a lot of trouble to their offense by relying on the compression of space and excellent personal defensive ability in previous games, these Liverpool players Still didn't give up, didn't give in.

"Two goals behind, Liverpool coach Rodgers is calling back the team's warm-up players on the sidelines. It seems that he is going to replace the offensive players and make a final effort."

"At this stage when the substitute players are preparing to play, I hope that the Liverpool players on the field can maintain the current situation and stop conceding goals."

"Manchester United's striker this season is really good at seizing opportunities. They are especially good at taking the lead and taking advantage of the opponent's confusion to score another goal and directly kill the game."

As for Liverpool, there is indeed some disunity in thinking now, but as long as the players who have not given up hope for the game can unify their strength, then they can also create a local threat.

Liverpool relied on the offense of the tactical organization. When the first wave did not pose a threat, they could only seek a steady transmission back to the second half and hand it over to the midfielders for the transition.

After Yang Feng received the return pass from his teammate, he observed it carefully before Van Persie came up to grab it. Then he made an extremely precise long pass and passed the ball to Tang Ning who had a certain amount of space on the left.

Although Tangning unloaded the football well and then used his own speed to complete the bottom, Rafael's defensive attention was very focused and did not give Tangning the possibility of a direct dribble, and finally restricted Tangning to the outside.

Downing's last pass, although it was passed into the penalty area, Manchester United defender Vidic's header was very stable. He would not make a low-level header error like Joe Allen did in the first half, but the ball Directly cleared out of the penalty area, and did not give other Liverpool players in the penalty area a chance to miss it.

Manchester United, who completed this defense, of course carried out the familiar counterattack rhythm of this game. However, Carrick, who received Vidic's header to clear the siege, was still looking for a teammate who could pass the ball in the frontcourt. Ignore the threats from around me.

When he sensed Tang Ning's approach from the rear, Carrick panicked and chose to cross the ball to his teammate Shinji Kagawa first. Ladd, also running tirelessly, slashed from the diagonal stab and successfully intercepted the ball before Shinji Kagawa received the ball.

After Gerrard snatched the ball, he immediately chose to pass a short pass to Suarez who came back in front of him. It was convenient for him to adjust his staggered figure after running at full speed and successfully stealing the ball.

After Suarez received the ball, he immediately attracted the attention of Manchester United's remaining defenders, but even though he had a chance to hit the goal at the top of the arc in the penalty area, Suarez was not greedy for credit this time.

Giving full play to the role of his fulcrum, Suarez then chose to use a cross pass to pick the ball out of the encirclement that the Manchester United players were about to form.

Gerrard has stabilized his figure at this time, responding from a position on the right. After receiving a pass from Suarez, he directly bent his bow and set an arrow, and completed a high-quality long-range shot.

"Gerrard, after receiving a pass from Suarez, in front of the penalty area, make a lateral pass and hit the goal directly!"

Vidic blocked from the front of the penalty area and did not block Gerrard's tricky goal.

"De Gea fell to the ground and made a save!"

"but!"

"still have a chance!"

"GOAL!!!"

"Sturridge!"

"A follow-up shot from the left to score!"

"Help Liverpool get back a goal!"

"Sturridge, who came off the bench, became a surprise player again!"

"Gerrard finally had a long-range shot and created a huge threat. A series of cooperation after the frontcourt interception and Suarez's calm pass created opportunities for Gerrard. De Gea I tried my best to complete the save, but Sturridge, who was missed, successfully became a sharp knife pierced into Manchester United's heart, and easily made a follow-up shot. 1 to 2, the game is far from over."

The situation on the field changed too fast. Manchester United only scored a second goal, but in 3 minutes, Liverpool pulled back a goal in lightning. With this goal, the game returned to With a gap of one goal, Liverpool had hope of recovering the game again.

After Sturridge scored a goal, he excitedly performed a mechanical dance on the sidelines to celebrate, but it caused boos from the home fans, but the Liverpool players who rushed over didn't care so much, and continued to fight with Sturridge. Caught in celebration...

At this time, Ferguson on the sidelines was the first to get anxious. He was loudly reminding the players to keep their attention. At this time, there must be no slack or any mistakes.

Seeing a goal back, Rogers also delayed the substitution he was going to make for a while. He hoped that the team could use the existing lineup to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack again.

Liverpool began to strengthen their offensive, taking advantage of the starting stage just after scoring a goal, Liverpool wanted to go all out and tie the score.

"Lillard hit the goal with another long shot!"

"De Gea fought to keep the ball off the line."

"This time, De Gea has plenty of time to prepare and can control his hand shape without giving Liverpool players any chance to make up shots."

"Liverpool's corner!"

"Yang Feng! Head-shaking attack from the forward position!"

"Slightly wide! Ferdinand's defense against Yang Feng was very good, and he didn't give Yang Feng a chance to contribute to Liverpool."

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

Although Liverpool wanted to take advantage of the situation to equalize the score, Manchester United's seasoned skills and the experience of many Manchester United players still played a role at critical moments. With a wave of slightly conservative defense, Manchester United survived Liverpool's craziest 10-minute attack , as the game entered 70 minutes, Liverpool, which lost its vigor, still has a high probability of being the final loser of this game.
