Chapter 12

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United seemed to have returned to the state of the first half of the first half. The players seemed to have not eaten, running very inactive and not focusing enough.

After losing the ball in the first half, the Liverpool players were lost for a period of time. After the adjustment of the intermission, they behaved very aggressively.

In the 50th minute of the game, Suarez took the ball and took advantage of the situation, ditched Evans, and went straight to the penalty area.

Ferdinand has rich experience and made preparations for defense when Suarez received the ball. He shoveled from behind Suarez and destroyed the ball, but also brought Suarez down.

Suarez sat on the ground angrily, spread his hands, and signaled to the referee Dodd that Ferdinand fouled.

Referee Dodd thought that Ferdinand had tackled the ball first and ignored Suarez's protest.

The Liverpool fans who came to watch the match were very dissatisfied and collectively stood up and booed to the referee.

Dalglish was very calm. He pressed his hand to signal the players and fans to calm down and focus on the game.

Liverpool fell behind in the score, just exerting pressure on the referee, not too much entanglement.

In the 55th minute of the game, Tangning made a cross after breaking through the wing. Gerrard didn't shoot from his suitable starting position. Instead, he missed the ball and passed the ball to Suarez.

The Manchester United defensive player did not expect Gerrard to leak the ball, and Suarez did not expect that he stopped the ball in a hurry and then wanted to shoot. The ball bounced off the blocked Evans.

Gao Xiaodong returned to the defense to get the ball and quickly launched a counterattack forward.

When Gao Xiaodong returned to defense, Liverpool had no one to mark, but when Manchester United launched a counterattack, the first person to mark Liverpool was Gao Xiaodong.

Two Liverpool players quickly rushed towards Gao Xiaodong, and another player moved closer to Gao Xiaodong, ready to double-team.

After being double-teamed by two people, Gao Xiaodong did not break through. He glanced at the front. Both Welbeck and Valencia were in the running position, and he immediately found Valencia on the side with a long pass. .

Valencia stopped the ball and immediately crossed the middle, looking for Welbeck who came forward.

Valencia's passing choice is good. Welbeck is fast and can completely throw away Liverpool's two tall central defenders.

But Valencia's footwork can't be compared with Gao Xiaodong, he hopes to give Welbeck longer sprint space, this foot ball is somewhat close to the penalty area.

Liverpool goalkeeper Reina is world-class. He didn't wait for his teammates in the penalty area to clear the siege. Seeing that he had a chance to control the ball, he immediately rushed out of the penalty area to grab the ball.

Welbeck slowed down a step, Liverpool goalkeeper Renner kicked the ball first.

Reina's kick was random, but it happened to kick Gerrard's side.

Gerrard stopped the ball and saw Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea standing forward and immediately lifted the goal.

De Gea was not too slow to react, and he hurried back when he saw Gerrard stop the ball.

However, Gerrard stopped the ball too fast and De Gea just retreated to the small penalty area and the ball came over.

De Gea jumped back and did not touch the ball. The ball went over De Gea's head and hit the post and bounced out.

This series of changes was too fast, Manchester United's defender was a little slow to react, while Liverpool striker Suarez was quick to react, he rushed to fill in front of everyone, and shot the ball into the net.

1:1

Suarez helped Liverpool equalize the score.

Suarez was very excited. He lifted his shirt and ran to the stands.

The Liverpool fans were more excited than Suarez, they jumped to applaud and sang Liverpool's team anthem.

Liverpool coach Dalglish showed more restraint, he just stood up and waved his fist, then sat down again.

Ferguson was dissatisfied with the performance of the Manchester United defender. He knocked on the windshield fiercely, and then called Park Ji-sung over to warm up and prepare to play.

Five minutes later, Park Ji-sung played and replaced Giggs.

Ferguson's goal is very clear, is to strengthen running and control the midfield.

Park Ji-sung's age is not too young, but Park San-fei's nickname is not for nothing. He still has strong running ability. Manchester United has Park Ji-sung and Valencia on both sides, Gao Xiaodong in the middle, and Welbeck as the striker. His athletic ability is better than that of Liverpool. Still strong.

With Park Ji-sung on the field, Manchester United stepped up their offense, and Liverpool were not satisfied with the result of the draw. They and Manchester United started fighting in the midfield.

Manchester United is stronger, but in general, Liverpool is bent on revenge. After Suarez scored, the two sides fought equally in the midfield.

At this time, in addition to watching the individual performance of the star, it depends on the coach's tactical adjustments.

Dalglish hasn't coached for many years, and his on-the-spot reaction is a little bit worse. However, Ferguson has extremely rich experience and adventurous spirit. In the stalemate, he once again made a change.

Replaced midfielder Carrick and replaced striker Hernandez to continue to strengthen Manchester United's attacking power in the frontcourt.

Although Welbeck does not have Rooney's personal ability, he has a good impact, and he does not hesitate to make trouble for Liverpool's defense.

The newly replaced Hernandez is an opportunistic forward. He runs agile and can seize opportunities.

Ferguson communicated his will to the players through substitutions and must win the game.

As the captain, Gao Xiaodong must resolutely implement the will of the coach. After Hernandez came on the field, Gao Xiaodong immediately strengthened his personal breakthrough, tearing Liverpool's defense line, and creating opportunities for his teammates.

In the 78th minute of the game, the strong running ability of Manchester United's frontcourt played a decisive role.

Manchester United forced Liverpool in the midfield and caused an error in Liverpool's pass. Park Ji-sung interrupted Spearing's pass and immediately crossed to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong took a step and saw that Liverpool's attention was drawn to him. His teammate Hernandez was about to start and he immediately passed behind the Liverpool defender.

Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez thought of together, one straight pass and the other diagonally, the match was seamless.

The Liverpool defender turned around and chased after him slowly, and goalkeeper Renner realized that his teammates could not count on it. He immediately attacked, trying to destroy the pass before Hernandez.

But this time Reina was too late. Hernandez stabbed the ball before him, and the ball passed and passed Reina.

Hernandez's stabbing was a bit big, and when he caught up, the angle of the shot was already very small, and the Liverpool defender had desperately rushed back.

Fortunately, Welbeck also arrived. Hernandez passed back to Welbeck, and Welbeck shot the ball into the unguarded gate.

The Liverpool defender tried desperately to get the ball out, but was unable to touch the ball.

2:1

Manchester United took advantage of the opponent's mistakes to overtake the score again.

After the goal, Welbeck excitedly ran to Hernandez and wanted to hug Hernandez, but Hernandez ran to the passing Gao Xiaodong.

Welbeck didn't burn his brain either, he immediately followed Hernandez to Gao Xiaodong, holding Gao Xiaodong and cheering and celebrating.
