Chapter 147 A Familiar Back Figure Under the Setting Sun
Snapped--
Falling from Dong Fangzhuo's side.
It missed Dong Fangzhuo, who came up to celebrate, on the head.
so close!
Rooney, who was celebrating, also saw it and quickly stopped celebrating.
Damn it, Liverpool fans can't afford to lose. They even threw down their mobile phones. If they hit their heads, they would definitely be bloody.
Cristiano Ronaldo was only halfway through. When he saw the mobile phone on the ground, he actually stopped and did not come over to celebrate together, but he didn't want to have a headache.
Rooney obviously had a grudge against Liverpool and he quickly called the referee over.
After the referee saw the phone, he picked it up neatly and handed it to the fourth official. Then he ran back again, called Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo in front of him, and warned them not to do anything after scoring another goal. Such a provocative way to celebrate.
It's okay. Why are you running to the KOP stands to celebrate? Do you think you haven't lived long enough?
Ferguson also went to the fourth official to complain. At this time, it was impossible not to add insult to injury. The Liverpool coach looked at Ferguson with a dark face and watched Ferguson talking a lot, but there was nothing he could do. Sir Alex Ferguson was so angry. Adding fuel to the fire!
Fortunately, no more accidents occurred during this episode, and the referee quickly urged the game to restart.
This goal boosted Manchester United's morale, and worries and anxiety were quickly replaced by confidence and stability. Liverpool fell apart immediately after receiving this slap. Soon after, Manchester United transferred a long pass from the right. Dong Fangzhuo took the ball from the left and directly penetrated into the penalty area, without giving Pellegrino any time to think.
He calculated that Pellegrino was the biggest weakness of Liverpool's defense, so he deliberately moved around him and stayed away from Hyypia. It is very difficult for a veteran like Hyypia to do anything in front of him. Although Pellegrino is not a new defensive recruit, he is a new recruit in the Premier League, so there is an opportunity.
Perhaps in Pellegrino's view, after Dong Fangzhuo unloaded the ball, he had to at least shake it twice in front of him, ride a bicycle, or spike the ball to change its direction.
Who knew that Dong Fangzhuo was right-footed, so he just lay on the ball with his left foot and rushed into the penalty area!
The moment Dong Fangzhuo rushed in, he remembered what the assistant coach said to him before the game: Don't think too much about defending Dong Fangzhuo! You have to think more simply about this child.
But I didn't expect that when it really happened,
It's so simple and crude!
Dong Fangzhuo broke into Liverpool's penalty area with force, causing chaos in the penalty area. At that moment, Hyypia, who came over, stretched out his long legs in an attempt to stop Dong Fangzhuo's shot from the left side of the penalty area.
But this time Dong Fangzhuo is not simple anymore! He calmly clicked with his left foot, and Hyypia slid across the turf without stopping Dong Fangzhuo at all.
Dong Fangzhuo can really start shooting.
But,
A gust of wind is coming from behind!
It's Gerrard again!
The moment his left foot hit the ball, Gerrard's left foot came over and blocked the shot!
When Gerrard made the move, he definitely didn't consider whether it would cause a foul on Dong Fangzhuo. He probably only thought about bravely attacking Dong Fangzhuo!
He succeeded, and he rushed in front of Dong Fangzhuo and successfully took the ball away.
Such a Liverpool captain is simply perfect!
The KOP cheered again, their captain was interpreting Liverpool's spirit of never giving up!
Only when he stands on the pitch does he look like a real Liverpool player!
He is the one that everyone feels most at ease with.
Dong Fangzhuo did not expect that Gerald would appear next to him again, like a lingering ghost.
He's not a defender!
What the hell.
When he turned around, he found that the matter was not over yet.
After Gerrard got the ball, he didn't immediately pass it out.
Ronaldo steals the ball from Gerrard.
The KOP immediately covered their faces, unable to believe that Gerrard would make such a low-level mistake.
Ronaldo hit the middle and Keane came forward to meet the ball.
Duang!
Hit the lintel!
It almost killed the game. If Manchester United scored another goal and had two goals in hand, Liverpool would fall directly into hell.
Lintel did Liverpool a big favor.
This time, the Liverpool players were no longer trapped, and cleared the ball with one big kick, finally eliminating the danger.
Although Liverpool controlled the ball most of the time, every time Manchester United counterattacked, Liverpool's penalty area was rattled!
I don’t know if they were frightened by Manchester United’s counterattack, but they later slowed down their attack.
Manchester United get another breather.
Morientes' performance was average. He finally got a chance to receive a corner kick in the stoppage time of the first half and hit the target with his header, but it was easily confiscated by Carroll...
That's the end of the half.
Ferguson chewed gum quickly and walked quickly into the tunnel.
The tactics in the first half were very successful. The original 442 formation was transformed into a 451 formation, which was similar to the 433 formation. Let Rooney and Ronaldo play two wings each. In fact, it was an idea that had been planned for a long time. It was just that Dong Fangzhuo was originally wanted. The one on the sidelines has now been replaced by Rooney, and the effect has been reflected in this game.
I was originally worried that Rooney would reduce his power by playing wide, but unexpectedly Rooney scored a goal and was more active than usual!
Hey, you son of a bitch, let's fuck Liverpool like this!
His heart was cutting, and when he saw Benitez with a dead look on his face, he became even more proud. No matter how you attack Liverpool outside Manchester United's penalty area, I will put three boys in front and torment you to death...
He made up his mind and still made no substitutions in the second half. Saha and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the bench looked very frustrated. It seemed that Sir Alex would not give them two opportunities immediately.
In such a big game, it is quite sad to be completely forgotten on the bench...
On the contrary, Benitez has a headache. The three boys in Manchester United's frontcourt are really torturous.
No, there is also an old guy Keane. How many shots did this guy shoot in the first half?
An old guy and three little guys completely regarded Liverpool's penalty area as their back garden.
Keane took the wrong medicine today and rushed forward from time to time. When a defensive midfielder had nothing to do, the front midfielder used it, but Scholes was not so active.
"We have to find a way to score goals. What's the new guy's name? Morientes? How many times did this guy touch the ball in the first half?"
"Diouf, why are you leaving Liverpool..." Some fans began to miss Diouf, who had moved to Everton.
"Benitez is known as the master of tactics, but in the first half, his so-called tactics did not threaten Manchester United's goal. On the contrary, it was Manchester United's Ferguson's tactics that restrained them. The three young Musketeers in the frontcourt, The Liverpool defense has lost its temper. If this continues, Manchester United is likely to win an away game."
"Manchester United could very well come back victorious from here for the third consecutive season and Liverpool fans would be furious..."
However, Lineker's words were still too early!
Less than a minute into the second half.
The most familiar figure in Anfield devoted himself to the battle at the beginning of the game.
After Liverpool kicked off, after a three-foot pass in the midfield, Hamann handed it to Garcia. Garcia knocked back Riise, and Riise went straight to Gerrard.
Their captain Gerrard took a long shot from 30 yards out!
shoot with great precision!
One arrow can decide the country!
The KOPs were standing in the stands. The setting sun was so red that it looked like it was stained with blood...
