Restricted Superstar

Back in the locker room, Ferguson's first sentence was: "Why not step up the offense?"

Defensive line is tight, but need to step up offensive?

Everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

Sir Alex Scholes, a confidant of Sir Alex Ferguson, took the pot and said: "The central defenders have all received yellow cards. I asked Gao to strengthen his defense."

Although Scholes said he asked his teammates to retreat to strengthen the protection of the defense line, Ferguson knew very well that the defense line was unstable. Even if Scholes didn’t say it, no player could attack without distraction. Ers just took the responsibility on himself.

Ferguson said excitedly: "Why defend? Afraid? This is Old Trafford, we are 7 points ahead of Liverpool, and the back line is unstable, so we have to attack and score more goals than our opponents! Instead of defending and counterattacking , This is Old Trafford!"

Seeing the Ferguson blower ajar, the Manchester United players bowed their heads and said nothing.

After Ferguson finished speaking, it seemed that he still hadn't done it. He went on to say: "Liverpool is not worthy for us to shrink and fight back, and attack me in the second half!"

No one asked what to do with the defense? What if the two central defenders have yellow cards? They believe that since Ferguson has said so, it means that he has his own arrangements. Just do what Ferguson said. This is the authority. Whether right or wrong, players will unconditionally trust him.

After Ferguson formulated a strategy for the second half, he then began to analyze the performance of the Manchester United players in the first half. Ferguson only praised the active Berbatov and the offensive Gao Xiaodong, but did not criticize any of the players, but everyone can feel it. , Ferguson is not satisfied with Rooney, at the same time not satisfied with Gao Xiaodong and Scholes's defense.

However, Rooney had too many fetters off the court recently. Scholes was old and his defensive ability was not normal. Gao Xiaodong scored a goal in the first half. When playing against a team like Liverpool, Gao Xiaodong dominated the offensive and defensive ends. It's unlikely.

However, Ferguson did not say anything about the defense. After all, Evans is young and a substitute. When the midfielder does not protect him enough, there is really no way to deal with a talented forward like Torres.

Away team locker room

The coach Hodgson was satisfied with the players’ performance. Manchester United’s two goals, the first was Gao Xiaodong’s fairy ball, the goalkeeper could not defend, and the second was a counterattack goal. Liverpool was already behind and could only Attacked, and then was hit back.

In the face of a team like Manchester United, as long as you attack, it is impossible not to give them a chance to counterattack.

After 45 minutes of competition and comparison in the first half, Hodgson has a more intuitive understanding of Manchester United's strength. Manchester United's strength is indeed stronger than Liverpool. Therefore, he is still satisfied with the 2:2 score. He hopes that the team will be in the second half. Play defensive counterattacks, tie and win, wait for a good formation, and then compete with Ferguson when you return to the home court.

However, Gerrard was not satisfied with Hodgson’s arrangement. As the team’s boss and spiritual leader, Gerrard’s position in the Red Army was not worse than Hodgson’s. When Hodgson deployed his tactics and returned to the coach’s lounge, Gerrard found it. Hodgson.

"Coach, the game between Manchester United and Manchester United is very unusual. Once the morale of the opponent is up, can our defensive counterattack be held?"

Time was tight, and Gerrard didn't go around in circles, and said straightforwardly.

Although Gerrard is for the good of the team, in Hodgson's view, this is to question his authority, but Gerrard's status in Liverpool is lofty, even if Hodgson is a coach, he must respect his advice.

Hodgson said faintly: "Steve, you have to worry too much. Rooney is not in good shape, Berbatov has no impact, they can't penetrate our double defense."

Gerrard said: "Coach, don't forget, they also have Xiao Donggao, he is the strongest man in Manchester United."

Hodgson laughed and said: "Now the two Manchester United central defenders are carrying yellow cards. Manchester United only has Gao Xiaodong in the defensive midfielder. He may be too busy to take care of himself. How can he have so much energy to attack."

Gerrard was still not convinced, and said: "What if Ferguson replaces Scholes and Fletcher."

Hodgson said: "If Ferguson is replaced by Fletcher, then only Gao Xiaodong will organize and promote the midfield. Can he create his own opportunities and then shoot himself? If Ferguson really makes such adjustments, then I will have a way. Against him."

Gerrard was persuaded by Hodgson. He didn't come to find fault. He just didn't understand. Now that all aspects of Hodgson's situation have been considered, then Gerrard has achieved his goal.

Fifteen minutes later, the game started again. Neither Manchester United nor Liverpool changed players. Both sides continued to play with their original team.

After Berbatov and Rooney kicked off in the middle circle, the Manchester United players implemented the requirements of Ferguson's attack. The three lines quickly moved forward and attacked Liverpool's penalty area.

In the first minute of the second half, Nani attacked from the wing, attracting Liverpool's right-leaning formation, and then quickly passed to the center to the inserted Vidic. Vidic passed to Giggs to complete a large-scale transfer.

Liverpool's formation immediately moved to the left, preventing Manchester United from attacking from the left.

Giggs and Evra launched a rush to the bottom line. They continued to cooperate but failed to penetrate Johnson's defense. Giggs passed back to Scholes, who saw Nani with no one on the wing. Marked, a long pass to the side to find Nani.

Gao Xiaodong saw Scholes pass the ball to Nani, he immediately ran to the side of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask Nani for the ball.

Gao Xiaodong asked Nani for the ball several times in the first half, but Nani did not pass it. This time Nani was criticized by Ferguson alone, and the ball was not easy to handle. After he stopped, it is estimated that defender Conche Ski also posted it, and without a chance to break through, he gave the header to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong didn't expect Nani to pass so happily. He just ran to the front right side of the penalty area when Nani's ball arrived.

Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate, adjusted his step point, bent his bow and shot, and volleyed again, hitting the ball to the right side of the goal.

This shot was so strong that it was in front of the goal in an instant.

However, Liverpool goalkeeper Renner is the world's top goalkeeper. He focused and reacted quickly. He leaped up and knocked the ball out of the penalty area with his fists.

Manchester United completed a shot at the beginning of the second half, and it was the midfielder Gao Xiaodong who was responsible for the defense of Manchester United. This is a signal and means that Manchester United does not want to defend.

However, Liverpool did not pay attention to this signal. They still believed that Gao Xiaodong did not dare to push too much, and did not take targeted defensive measures against Gao Xiaodong's offensive.

In the 50th minute of the game, Manchester United made a long pass and the ball was ejected by Liverpool central defender Carragher. The ball was grabbed by Gao Xiaodong and passed to Scholes.

Scholes dropped the ball into the penalty area, Rooney and Berbatov then launched an attack into the Liverpool penalty area.

Berbatov and Carragher competed for the header. The two heads collided and the ball fell to Rooney's feet. Rooney was closely followed by Scotter and couldn't turn around, but Rooney was eager to score and force. Turned around to shoot, the ball hit Scotter's body and popped out of the penalty area.

The ball just popped up, and Gao Xiaodong suddenly made it from the backcourt, rushing to the ball before Liverpool midfielder Paulson made a clearance.

The ball, like a cloud-piercing arrow, flew along the seam to the left of the goal like lightning.

When Gao Xiaodong took a shot, the goalkeeper Renner was blocked by the players in the penalty area. When he saw the ball, there was no hope of saving. Renner didn't even make a symbolic move, so he watched. The ball flew into the net from in front of him.

3:2

Gao Xiaodong scored twice and helped Manchester United once again surpass the score.
