The 15-minute break passed quickly, and the world-famous first-place battle between Liverpool and Manchester United continued to unfold its infinite bloody evolution!
After returning from the second half, the coaches of both sides seemed to be quite satisfied with their starting players. They did not make any personnel adjustments at the beginning!
However, although the players standing on the field on both sides have not changed, the rhythm of kicking has changed a lot!
After returning from a break in Liverpool, the spirit was not completely tense. The Red Devils followed the principle of paying close attention to the two openings and launched a siege at the gate of Liverpool!
Li Yi and other defensive players were running around for a while, so busy!
"Huh!" With a big kick, Rafael's cross from the right was driven out of the penalty area. Li Yi let out a long sigh of relief!
At the same time, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, the Red Devils are indeed the Red Devils, once they are determined to attack, it is really not a joke!
Fortunately, Liverpool's midfield and backfield strength this season is quite strong. No, even though the Red Devils' offense was crazy enough, they still couldn't get ahead of the central axis of defense formed by Li Yi, Gerrard, his sister-in-law, and De Rossi.
Take any advantage!
Seeing that Balotelli, who had retreated to the center line, stopped his long pass as he had analyzed, Li Yi spread his steps and ran towards the midfield!
Manchester United's offense was good, and it was time for them to see the power of the Red Army's offense! Well, that's what Li Yi thought as he ran towards the frontcourt.
Looking at Balotelli.
In the first minute of this game, Bashen was entangled by Ferdinand. It can be said that the game lasted for more than 50 minutes and there was no highlight at all!
This time, it seems to be following the same rhythm!
I saw that when Balotelli turned his back and chest to stop the ball, Ferdinand had already put his strong chest on the back of Balotelli! Even when Balotelli jumped lightly to stop the ball, he also used a little secret force, thinking
Sneak attack on the former!
This is Balotelli. If it were Li Yi, Ferdinand would be able to send Li Yi to the lawn with just one move!
He firmly withstood Ferdinand behind him and used his chest to remove the ball! Based on the principle of quick counterattack, Bashen wanted to bring up the rhythm as soon as he stopped the ball!
However, these are obviously the unilateral subjective wishes of God Ba!
He thought, Ferdinand won’t let him!
With concealed pulls and pulls, Ferdinand relied on his excellent defensive experience to make Bashen's thoughts of a quick counterattack become a thing of the past!
He made an emergency stop and at the same time raised his hands upward to let go of the jersey that was tightly held by Ferdinand. In this silent way, Bashen protested to the referee for turning a blind eye to Ferdinand!
However, Bashen is smart, and Ferdinand is not stupid either!
Although Balotelli didn't know what kind of shit the opponent was going to do when he raised his butt, this time Balotelli chose to stop suddenly. Ferdinand, who felt something was wrong, released his hold on the opponent early.
Jersey little hands!
In this way, Bashen's little trick directly announced the miscarriage!
He took a serious look at Ferdinand in front of him! Balotelli, who was not strong in breakthroughs, had no choice but to hand the ball to Kaká who was following behind him!
Perhaps, Kaka used to be a young boy chasing the wind. At this moment of transition between offense and defense, he could directly play with the opponent's entire defense without any scruples! But today's Kaka is determined to kill the thief and is unable to save himself!
Look at Ferdinand and Vidic in front of him, and then look at Valencia, Giggs, and Kaka behind him, who are almost in no particular order and come to the center line, making a breakthrough fake move to deceive the focus of several people.
Finally, he took the ball and ran towards the backcourt!
Since there was no chance for a fast break and there were too few teammates in the frontcourt, Kaka made a wise choice to avoid the edge temporarily, stabilize the rhythm, and attack from a position!
However, sometimes, if you give in blindly, you will suffer even more fierce fire from the other side!
Take this time as an example, if after receiving the back pass from Bashen, Kaká would act like he did in his peak period, he would rush forward with his head down regardless, and if he fails to protect himself, he will really have a way out!
Now, Kaka seems to be seeking stability and suppressing the rhythm, but he is playing into the hands of Manchester United!
The 4-3-3 offensive formation evolved from the 4-2-3-1 that Manchester United is currently adopting. What is the most important thing? Naturally, after the offense loses the ball, it is the first time to counterattack!
Li Yi's previous quick kick caused Manchester United to slightly lose some opportunities. After getting the ball, Kaka, who did not rush forward and walked back with the ball, naturally became the target of siege by Manchester United players!
Watching Carrick, Giggs, and Valencia rushing towards him in a cross-shaped formation, front, back, left, and right, Kaka was panicked, but not chaotic!
After all, no matter how his condition declines, Kaka is still the winner of the World Footballer of the Year title!
After many twists and turns in a small area, after attracting enough firepower from the Manchester United players, he ran forward and with a deft heel knock, Kaká left the ball to Gerrard who was inserted in the back row!
"!" As soon as Gerrard got the ball, the Manchester United players became very nervous!
There is no need for Ferguson to point it out. They all know that the most threatening figure in Liverpool's counterattack is not Balotelli, who is currently the second highest scorer in the Premier League, nor Suarez, who is the fifth highest scorer in the forward line.
!But the two midfielders of the Red Army - Li Yi and Gerrard!
With the long passes of the two players, even if they replace two British Championship strikers, they can still score double digits in a season!
Therefore, if Kaká had the ball before and they pressed just for tactical needs and didn't care much about it, this time when Gerrard got the ball, the Manchester United players were really nervous!
Vidic rushed in front of Gerrard as soon as he received the ball. His hands were dancing in the air in an exaggerated way, trying to block Gerrard's sight and plan his dribbling rhythm!
After Gerrard had no choice but to stop, Vidic seized the opportunity to close the distance with his opponent again!
Hand-to-hand combat! This time Vidic was very astute in identifying Team Jay's weakness!
Because regardless of the overall situation, short passing, long passing, and footwork, the Jie team is really good at breaking through!
He used his body to hold up Vidic and tried several times, but he could never find a good opportunity. Since he didn’t have eyes on the back of his head, he didn’t dare to blindly pass the ball back! As a last resort, the Jay team could only learn Kaka and get
Hold the ball and bring it back!
However, Gerrard didn't know that his seemingly reasonable run back with the ball was actually a trap for Carrick who had been waiting for an opportunity!
Seizing the opportunity when Gerrard turned around and lost his footing, Carrick made a ferocious grab and used his body to knock Gerrard hard to the outside and collect the ball at his feet!
Of course, although Carrick successfully knocked Gerrard away, he himself was no better off!
After Team Jie's body was hit, the instinctive counter-impact force also caused Carrick's body to lose its balance!
Before he reached the end, he gently passed the ball to the little fat guy on the side. Carrick completed his mission perfectly!
And Rooney, who received Carrick's pass from the ground, was even more confused after receiving the ball!
In other words, he has already thought of how to handle the ball!
Almost as soon as he got the ball, Rooney sent a direct pass from the center line just over 10 meters away!
The person who responded to Rooney's pass was Van Persie, who had been hit by a Liverpool defender during the previous attack and had just run to the same position as the last Liverpool defender!
At this moment, Van Persie showed a forward player the most perfect response to unexpected situations!
He was slightly stunned. After a few tenths of a second of reaction time, Van Persie stopped his running back and turned around and inserted into the Liverpool penalty area again!
Seeing that the ball was about to enter his control, the general slowed down his pace slightly. At the same time, taking advantage of the time to change steps, the general who observed the state of the goal turned his head and discovered Adler, who was almost running to him!
As for De Rossi and his sister-in-law who were chasing behind him, to be honest, the general didn't pay attention at all, because their positions meant that they would not be able to help the ball in any way!
"Adler struck out in time!" That's right, Rooney's through ball was still a little far away. Although the ball speed was good, it also left enough reaction time for Adler!
With preparation, you will almost certainly fail if you don't attack. There is at least a 40% chance of destroying the ball if you attack. Adler doesn't have to choose, he knows what to do!
However, although Adler's timely attack somewhat disrupted his plan, Van Persie still made the most correct and perfect choice among all his choices at the last moment!
Stretching out his left foot, his toes flicked to the right before Adler, who was lying on the ground, touched the ball, and then he jumped over Adler's body!
Although in terms of strength, General Fan used a slightly larger shot to avoid Adler. When he catches up with the ball, the shooting angle will be smaller, but this is not important. In the absence of a goalkeeper, give the general a zero angle.
, Van Persie can also get it in!
There is no need to look at the direction of the goal. The general, who has played football for so many years and knows where the goal is with his eyes closed, in order not to give the Liverpool defense any chance to make a comeback, he chose to
Direct shot!
"Bump!" With a crisp sound, the ball popped out from the feet of the general and quickly headed towards the Red Army's gate!
I have to admit that Van Persie's confidence in not looking at the goal is not unreasonable.
Li Yi can tell you with certainty that if no one intercepts this ball, it will 100% hit the inside of the goal post and roll into the net!
It’s a real blind spot!
So, the ball went in?
No, at least we can’t say for sure yet!
Because when Gerrard lost the ball, Li Yi, who had just started full-court analysis and chased after him, was now on the thorny road of going to the goal line to save the ball!
Moreover, at this time, Li Yi was only less than 2 meters away from the right post of the goal, which is where Li Yi analyzed in his mind where the ball entered the net...
