Restricted Superstar

Gerrard scored an equalizer, and both sides looked back to the same starting line. However, the mentality of the two sides at the moment is completely different from before the start of the game.

Liverpool was more cautious before the start of the game and wanted to win, but they did not reject each point.

Now Liverpool has equalized the score, morale has been boosted, the desire and confidence to win is extremely strong, and there is no longer the idea of ​​taking a point.

Manchester United began to be more cautious, otherwise it would not send seven defensive players, Rooney and Nani were all placed on the bench.

It was not that Ferguson had no idea of ​​winning. There were so many defensive players in the opening game to test, drain Liverpool's morale, and attack again in the second half.

It was only in the first half that Manchester United unexpectedly took the lead with Gao Xiaodong's corner kick, and Ferguson naturally changed the original plan.

Now in more than seventy minutes, Liverpool equalized the score, and Ferguson gave up his plan to win and tried to maintain a tie.

Ferguson is an extremely experienced coach. He understands that Dalglish cannot be allowed to judge his intention to defend, otherwise Dalglish will definitely attack unscrupulously.

In that case, maybe Manchester United won't even get a point.

After losing the ball, Ferguson quickly made a substitution adjustment. He replaced the attacking midfielder Nani and replaced another offensive player, Giggs.

This is a matchup substitution, but Nani's physical fitness is much better than that of Giggs.

After Nani played, Park Ji-sung came to the right, and Phil Jones came to the position of midfielder.

What really embodies Ferguson's intention is the change of Gao Xiaodong's position.

Phil Jones came to the position of the midfielder, Gao Xiaodong's position was ten meters ahead of him, mainly offensive, withdrawing to support the midfielder at any time.

Although it seems that Ferguson did not give up on Nani, Gao Xiaodong understands Ferguson's true ideas.

Because now the back midfielder has pure defensive Fletcher and Phil Jones, the only offensive personnel are Nani, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong also has defensive tasks. That is to say, only two of Manchester United are completely used for offense. personal.

It has been 75 minutes, at Liverpool's home court, Gao Xiaodong does not think Ferguson's approach is conservative, it should be said that this is a very wise and pragmatic approach.

Although Manchester United has made preparations to hold the tie, there are three talented offensive players Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and Nani in the frontcourt of Manchester United. These three have the ability to single out the opponent's back line and their offensive power is by no means weak. The full combat power of any strong mid-range team.

Dalglish saw Ferguson's substitutions and adjustments. Although he was an old opponent, he didn't understand Ferguson's true intentions at first. He thought that Ferguson was also unwilling to draw and wanted to strengthen the offense to take three points.

Now Liverpool is full of morale and confidence. The most feared thing is to attack. With Dalglish's experience, in such a team and opponents bayonet is popular, Liverpool's chance of winning is more than 70%.

With the momentum of the goal, Liverpool played a wave of offensive climax.

Liverpool attacked from the wing, Gerrard dribbled the ball to Manchester United's right.

Gerrard and Suarez played a two-over-two match. Park Ji-sung failed to follow Gerrard and had to foul behind Gerrard.

Gerrard got up and quickly kicked a free kick, Manchester United's defense was disrupted, Liverpool center back Scotter dribbled the ball and Henderson made a cooperation, he drove into the penalty area.

This was an accident. No one would have thought that the central defender would come from behind. Fletcher made up his defense and was pushed back by Scott.

At this time, Ferdinand was bold, he fell to the ground with a flying shovel and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

This is an intimidating tackle, as long as it goes a little bit more slowly, it may be a penalty.

But Ferdinand won the bet, so he is a hero.

This attack made Liverpool even more excited. They thought they were closer to the goal, so they put more troops in the attack.

Under Liverpool's fierce attack, Manchester United contracted the defense, leaving only the tridents of Gao Xiaodong, Nani and Rooney in front.

At the 85th minute of the game, there was a controversial scene on the court.

Liverpool got a corner kick. Gerrard took the corner kick. Manchester United defended the three high points of Liverpool, Scotter, Carragher and Carroll, but Henderson jumped in the middle and jumped high. , A header hit Evans's arm.

Henderson immediately raised his hand and shouted "penalty kick", and Liverpool players also raised their hands to ask the referee for a penalty.

But the referee Marina thought that Evans's arm was on his body and did not expand the defensive area, and refused to award a penalty kick.

The Liverpool players were very upset. They told the referee Evans had blocked the ball and clamped his arm, but the referee Marina insisted on his penalty.

Liverpool fans were very upset, thinking that the referee was partial to Manchester United and stood up and shouted "black whistle."

The penalty made the Liverpool players very annoyed. They lost their minds, forgetting that Manchester United and the tridents of Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and Nani were all eyeing them. They all pressed on offensively and wanted to win Manchester United at home.

There is not much time left, and Liverpool has another high point in the middle of Carroll. They keep hanging the ball into the penalty area, letting Carroll compete for the header, and then organize the attack at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

But Manchester United is very tight on Liverpool's move, and Liverpool did not take advantage of it.

In the 89th minute of the game, as the game was about to enter stoppage time, Liverpool's wing cross was driven back to midfield by Carroll.

Liverpool midfielder Adam shot a direct volley from about 30 meters and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

This lob shot was very unexpected. No one expected Adam to lob directly in this place.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea didn't expect it, but he was young, quick to react, tall and long arms, facing such a lob, he actually flew to save the ball to the bottom line.

The moment the ball was saved, all Manchester United fans stood up and applauded De Gea's wonderful save.

Gao Xiaodong and Ferdinand also came to De Gea, hugged him, and expressed their appreciation to him.

Faced with such a fierce attack by Liverpool, Manchester United was also very disturbed. When Gerrard gave a corner kick, almost all Manchester United players returned to the penalty area, leaving Rooney and Gao Xiaodong outside the penalty area.

Already in stoppage time, this corner kick Liverpool has invested almost all of its forces, leaving only three players outside the penalty area, waiting for the top ball to launch a second attack.

Manchester United's high-altitude ball is not bad, in such a dangerous situation, Smalling forced Carroll to grab the spot, and a strong head hammer out of the penalty area.

The ball flew into the control of Liverpool full-back Enrique. Enrique wanted to stop the ball and then dangle into the penalty area, but at this time Rooney ran over frantically to force the ball. Enrique did not dare to stop the ball. Back to the top, I want to hand it over to his goalkeeper Reina.

Gao Xiaodong wouldn’t watch Rooney squeeze by himself. When Rooney was squeezing, Gao Xiaodong stared at Enrique’s two passing lines, one was a back pass and the other was a cross in the middle. He saw Enrique pass back. , Gao Xiaodong accelerates to start flying towards the ball.

In a hurry, Enrique’s power to return to the top was a bit weak and his angle was a little bit off. Gao Xiaodong’s speed was exceptionally fast. It was originally a ball that Renner could easily win, but now there is not enough time. Of it.
