Chapter 20 Double Red Meeting

The focus battle in the fourth round was staged on time at Anfield Stadium. The Red Devils Manchester United challenged the Reds Liverpool away. The direct dialogue between the new and old heroes of the league attracted a large number of fans to the scene. The stadium was already full, and many fans without tickets gathered in the square outside the stadium.

Benitez and Ferguson, as the head coaches of the two teams in the game, led their respective players into the lounge with grim faces.

The battle is approaching. The players of the two teams first came to the court for the final warm-up. At this time, when the fans of the two teams came to the confrontation, Manchester United fans were singing loudly that we were the champions to satirize the Liverpool people who were not as good as a year.

The number of Liverpool fans had an absolute advantage. Soon the songs of Manchester United fans were drowned out by their neat shouts, "Liverpool... Liverpool..."

The players are warming up, and the fans of the two teams are also warming up.

Li Yu will appear on the front line in this game. His partner is still Rooney. Tevez is placed in the winger position. Ferguson made fine-tuning Manchester United's attack line against Liverpool. Before the game, the media thought it was a three-forward tactic. Now it seems that the Lord did not do so. If he could let the media every time. Knowing the opportunity, Ferguson is not the legendary coach.

At the beginning of the game, people will find that the position on the Manchester United front line is very unique. Li Yuding is in the front, Rooney is ambushed behind him, and Tevez is on the left position in the middle of the two.

Manchester United formed a triangular attack combination on the left side. The position between the three people is not fixed at all. Rooney sometimes suddenly plugs in, Li Yu retreats, or Li Yu pulls aside, Tevez retreats, and Rooney continues to plug in.

The great change in the attack makes it difficult for Liverpool's defenders to defend against each other. Benitez seems to have expected Manchester United's offensive intentions for a long time. After Liverpool passed the panic at the beginning, Liverpool changed to regional defense according to the instructions of the coach's sidelines, and no longer focused on individual defense.

The strong team is worthy of being a strong team. The tactical transformation is extremely fast, and the passive situation is immediately reversed.

Of course, Ferguson will not let Liverpool have leisure time. If you change, I will change. There is no goal on the left. Change sides!

The triangle attack group has moved to the left side of Liverpool, that is, the right side of Manchester United. In terms of the grasp of the opening, no coach can compare with Ferguson. Manchester United always has a way to open the situation at the beginning. This is Ferguson's unique place.

After Li Yu took the ball, she didn't look at her teammate's position. She sent the ball to the right side of the road, and she immediately inserted it first. At this time, Rooney was moving on the right. After receiving Li Yu's pass, she knocked the ball to Tevez, who was dragging it behind. The Argentine did not drag it at all and immediately sent the straight plug ball.

The three of them played a mercury-like exquisite cooperation at one time. After changing to the right side, their sense of position in the three rooms was much better. Li Yu faced the ball and chose to shoot at a small angle.

According to the previous feeling, he will definitely take the ball and observe it again. Since Ferguson's talk, Li Yu has completely followed his own feelings. Thinking of shooting, he did not hesitate to shoot.

It's a pity that the ball passed the door and only hit the side net.

The chagrined Li Yu had not forgotten to thank her teammates, raised her hand and applauded Tevez, indicating that the ball was passed well.

"You boy wasted a chance! But it's a little domineering!" Rooney came directly to talk to Li Yupan. Since the start of the game, it has been all Manchester United's anti-guest to dominate the attack. Obviously, Rooney is in a good mood.

"Domineering?" Li Yu repeatedly said Rooney's words. This is the first time he has heard his teammates comment on his playing style, "I'm the winner today!"

"Ha ha, me too, who said no! Unless he wants another flying shoe from the boss!" Rooney and Li Yu joked. People all know that Beckham left Manchester United because of a flying shoe, that is, the favored Rooney dares to joke with the newcomer below. Old players like Giggs and Scholes is a taboo topic. After saying that, Rooney is still reminding Li Yu. I can't say it!

The game continues. The first 15 minutes of the first half of the game were completely dominated by Manchester United, which turned Anfield into Old Trafford. Not to mention that both teams are red as the main club. Red is their symbol. Isn't Anfield the sea of red?

It's just that there are two fans in the red, most of whom are a little disappointed, while a few Manchester United fans sing and dance, just like celebrating the victory. They dominate the court at this moment.

There is still a lack of goals. If there is no goal, there is no advantage that cannot be converted into a victory. Ferguson nervously watched the situation in the field. His opening plan has been very successful so far. He dominated the game with offense and suppressed the arrogance of the home team Liverpool as soon as he came up.

What about Liverpool? It seems that they are a little confused. Except for defending them, they have no chance to attack. Benitez is anxious and there is nothing he can do. He can't change people now. This is a big taboo. Unless the player is injured, no coach will easily change people at the beginning of the game.

While looking forward to the goal, he was worried about the goal, but the goal did not appear for a long time. No, it was not that it did not appear, but that it was reversed.

In the 18th minute, Liverpool scored in their first effective offense.

The goal was a little surprising. Alonso received Gerard's pass from Gerard's right long shot. The ball hit Evra's leg and rebounded. Van der Sar hit the ball on Brown and bounced back into the net. The unlucky Brown didn't know what was going on, so he recited an own goal.

Van der Sar obviously thought that the main responsibility was on himself, and he was still comforting the depressed Brown. "It's not your fault. My assist is really surprising!"

"I didn't expect you to be able to laugh at this time!" Brown had no choice but to get the ball out of the goal and kick it into the midfield.

"Unexpected, just do what we should do. Now we can only see the performance of the front!" Van der Sar pointed to the player standing in the middle line.

......

1:0, Manchester United's own goal fell behind and did not play a few games. This is already the second own goal.

Ferguson on the bench didn't say anything, but he chewed gum much faster. The handsome man was calm on the surface, but everyone who knew his little habits knew it and could feel the anxiety in his heart at this time.

Just three minutes later, Ferguson stood up and waved his arms excitedly to celebrate the goal.

No one expected that, including Liverpool fans and players on the field who had just been moraleed by the goal, Li Yu took off and ran to the left side of Manchester United with consequences. After taking the ball on the left side, he broke through all the way to the front of the penalty area and decisively handed the ball to Rooney.

Rooney took the ball and passed the ball directly, and handed it back to Li Yu. The two of them made a simple pass and one pass. Li Yu directly cut into Liverpool's penalty area along the side road. Scott and Aurelio both blocked forward. Li Yu chose to pass the middle on the left side of the penalty area without hurry, and Tevez pushed the far shot from 14 meters in the middle to score.

Manchester United quickly equalized the score to 1-1, and the two sides returned to the same line.

The goal comes entirely from the attack mode of the triangle combination. Liverpool is obviously not used to the new Manchester United attack mode. This goal seems reasonable, unlike Liverpool's previous goal, which relies entirely on luck.

Manchester United's momentum is like a rainbow. It continues to attack in the second half of the first half. Liverpool's defense is getting harder and more difficult, especially Li Yu's point. Today's changeable position makes Li Yu feel good and can form a certain threat wherever he goes, especially the tacit cooperation between the three people, which is extremely threatening. Li Yu and Tevez From time to time, there are some breakthroughs, passing the ball in the march, which makes the defensive players even more difficult. If it hadn't been for Liverpool goalkeeper Reina's excellent performance, the high resistance would have only saved his team once.

Manchester United actually took the lead in the first half and was able to keep the draw now. Their greatest credit is Reina.

Benitez goes to the sidelines and shouts from time to time, regardless of his gestures and shouts. Whether the players on the field can hear it or not, in fact, the head coach is venting more of his pressure and anger.

After watching the first half of the Chinese fans, there will be a feeling that the game is over before watching much. The time passes too fast. The good game is like this. The fans unconsciously, the game is over in 45 minutes.

The only thing is that Manchester United is not leading. Manchester United is definitely the team supported by the most fans in China. It is not one at all. It is unique. Many sports programs have got one or two Manchester United No. 9 genuine jerseys to launch the so-called fan Q&A and voting. This old-fashioned method is to only make money without losing money. .

Taking advantage of the game break, the fans go to the toilet and do other things. At the beginning of the second half of the game, they don't have time to do anything else.

The players of the two teams returned to the field, and the second half of the game began immediately, and Manchester United started.

At this time, the live camera was aimed at C Ronaldo on the Manchester United bench. The camera immediately turned and gave it to the head coach Ferguson. It was already obvious that when Ferguson sent C Ronaldo was the time for Manchester United to attack.

Li Yu kicked the ball to Tevez, who passed it back and the second half of the game began.

As soon as it came up, Manchester United began the ball control game. After changing the stormy attack mode in the first half, Liverpool's preparation failed again. In the competition between the two head coaches, Ferguson led step by step, while Benitez, the so-called tactical master, could only play the role of a pursuer and fell.

Liverpool strengthened the interception of the midfield in the second half. The old method was used as it was. Although there was nothing new, the effect was quite good. Li Yu was the first player to taste Liverpool's black feet in the second half. After receiving a pass from Scholes, Li Yu had not made a move. Mascherano's flying shovel was at his feet, and Li Yu had to jump up and dodge, and the ball was shoveled out of the bottom line.

The referee did not blow a penalty at all, just a ball thrown by an outside world. Ferguson immediately pointed to the court and said a few words. Fortunately, no Manchester United player was hurt. Otherwise, the angry old man was definitely enough for the referee to drink a pot.

In the second half, the two teams are the real competition. Manchester United is attracting Liverpool's attack, and Liverpool is fighting tenaciously. Whoever opens the situation first can take the initiative.
