Qiu Ze, Gerrard and Xavi Alonso stood in front of the football, and the scene was extremely tense.
In front of Manchester United's goal, Van der Sar was nervously directing the wall.
Van der Sar put his hands to his mouth like a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Left, a little further to the left... That's right, okay, this is it, stand still!"
Van der Sar was very busy, and at the same time, he was still guessing in his mind who would take the free kick.
The three people standing in front of the football all have the record of directly scoring free kicks. However, among them, Qiu Ze does not have many opportunities to take free kicks. Gerrard and Xavi Alonso take more free kicks.
There are more, especially Gerrard.
Gerrard is Liverpool's first choice for taking free kicks in the frontcourt. This guy has a very powerful kick that hits the goal hard, making it hard to guard against. However, Van der Sar guesses that it will not be Gerrard who takes the kick.
Yes, Liverpool will definitely think that Manchester United will decide to take the penalty against Gerrard. In fact, Gerrard is probably a cover.
Van der Sar then focused his attention on Qiu Ze and Xabi Alonso. Who among the two would take the penalty? Van der Sar really couldn't guess, but in his heart, Van der Sar still believed that Qiu Ze would take the penalty.
Ze's chances of taking the penalty are much greater.
At this moment, the referee blew the service whistle.
Van der Sar immediately discarded all the distracting thoughts in his mind and immediately stared at the football lying on the turf with his bright eyes.
Qiu Ze, who was standing in front of the football, immediately started running. He was the first and only Liverpool player to start running.
"Sure enough!" Van der Sar exclaimed in his heart, and then immediately moved two steps to the center, because in Van der Sar's view, Qiu Ze's free kicks must be based on arcs, because Qiu Ze took the penalty before.
This is basically the case with free kicks. It must have hit the upper corner of the goal on the side of the wall, so he quickly moved towards the center.
Soon, Qiu Ze ran past the football quickly. He didn't play football!
Not him! Van der Sar was shocked.
Just when Qiu Ze got out of the way, Liverpool's captain Gerrard had already rushed in front of the football and directly kicked his right leg hard on the football. There was only a bang sound, and the football immediately jumped from the top.
Ladd flew out from under his feet, and the football was only a dozen centimeters away from the turf and shot towards the far bottom corner of the Manchester United goal.
It was Gerrard! It was Gerrard who took the free kick! Van der Sar was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
And the most important thing is that he didn't even see when Gerrard took the run-up. This guy came too fast. As soon as Qiu Ze left the football, this guy rushed up and won the football, without giving Fan a chance at all.
Desa's chance to react.
The football blasted out by Gerrard flew past the Manchester United wall like a bullet fired from a gun, and shot towards the bottom corner of the goal on the side where Van Desen was originally guarding.
Originally, this side was guarded by Van der Sar. Unfortunately, this guy had already moved a few steps towards the center of the goal. Moreover, Gerrard's shot was unexpected and the ball speed was very fast. Although Van der Sar was already very fast.
He jumped out from the side, but he still couldn't hit the football. The football flew past his palm and hit the Manchester United goal hard.
Two to one! Liverpool overtook the score!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately jumped up from his position and screamed with excitement, because Liverpool's free kick was really wonderful.
"The ball is in, the ball is in! Steven Gerrard, the goal was Liverpool's captain Gerrard. He helped Liverpool overtake the score at the end of the first half, two to one." Sky Sports'
Commentator Gary Lineker said.
The Old Trafford stadium suddenly became quiet at this moment. The Manchester United fans were stunned. They really didn't expect that the Liverpool people would actually lead the score. They felt very uncomfortable, while the Liverpool fans were extremely excited.
After losing the ball, Manchester United desperately wanted to get the score back, and they immediately launched a ferocious attack. Cristiano Ronaldo was even more desperate. In the last few seconds, this guy threatened Liverpool three times.
Unfortunately, there were some problems with the final handling of the goals, which did not help Manchester United equalize the score.
At this time, the referee Chris Webber blew the whistle to end the first half. At the end of the first half, Liverpool now leads the home team Manchester United 2-1.
Manchester United was very dissatisfied with this result. Alex Ferguson immediately turned on the hair dryer mode during the halftime break and vented wildly in the locker room, giving Manchester United a hard lesson.
of players.
Then, Alex Ferguson hopes that at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United will take the initiative firmly in his hands, strive to score as soon as possible, and then score more goals to win the game.
.
The result of this game is very likely to affect the final title of the Premier League this season. Of course, Sir Alex Ferguson does not want to lose such an important game. Ferguson emphasized many times during the halftime break that this game
Must win, must.
On the other side, Benitez was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. He praised the players. At the same time, he also reminded Liverpool's stars that the game is not over yet and now is not the time to celebrate. He hopes that Liverpool's
If the players can play according to the first half, they must win this game.
Soon, the intermission time passed, and the second half of the game began quickly.
The first kick-off of the second half was Liverpool. Fernando Torres in the center circle immediately tipped the football and then rushed into the Manchester United half. Qiu Ze passed the football backwards and the football rolled to Harvey.
?Alonso's feet.
Xavi Alonso caught the football and saw Manchester United's Rooney rushing forward quickly. Xavi Alonso did not confront Rooney head-on. Xavi Alonso temporarily avoided Rooney's edge and passed the football across
To the Argentinian Javier Mascherano.
After Mascherano grabbed the football, he immediately ran forward with the football. Not long after, Mascherano passed the midfield. At the same time, Manchester United's Carrick also pushed forward. Mascherano immediately pushed the football forward.
The football moved to the wing and quickly rolled to the feet of Arshavin on the wing.
As soon as Arshavin got the ball, Manchester United's old monster Giggs came forward. Giggs also marked Arshavin very closely. This is why Arshavin didn't perform much in the first half of the game.
However, Arshavin scored a goal with only a few opportunities. This guy's performance was really good.
Arshavin continued to change directions, looking for opportunities to break through, but Giggs' defense was very tight, giving Arshavin no chance to break through. At the same time, Carrick also rushed up quickly, wanting to fight with Giggs.
Clamp defense.
Arshavin immediately picked up the football, and the football flew quickly towards Qiu Ze in the middle. Anderson immediately rushed forward, pressed his body just against Qiu Ze, pushed Qiu Ze back, and stretched his legs to stop the rapidly flying ball.
Football coming over.
When Anderson was about to stop the football, he suddenly stretched out a leg from behind Anderson and gently pushed the football back. The football immediately flew up from in front of Anderson and flew behind him. Anderson
Suddenly he was shocked.
Qiu Ze, who was behind Anderson, couldn't care less. He quickly retracted his legs, then turned around quickly, raised his head and looked at the football above his head as he rushed forward.
"Beautiful! Beautiful robbery and passing! Chris is really amazing, so exciting!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was extremely pleasantly surprised.
The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately became excited and shouted Qiu Ze's name crazily. At this time, Qiu Ze was the god in their hearts. The fans of Manchester United were madly insulting Qiu Ze and cursing Qiu Ze, wishing they could
Qiu Ze was killed with a gun.
Qiu Ze, who advanced at high speed, easily unloaded the football and rushed towards Manchester United's penalty area.
At this time, there was a smooth road in front of Qiu Ze. Manchester United's backline was completely broken by Qiu Ze. At this time, he was running towards nature like a wild horse running wild.
Manchester United's center back Vidic saw Qiu Ze's unscrupulous breakthrough and he immediately rushed out. He didn't want to see Qiu Ze's long-range shot like a flying meteor. He rushed out hurriedly to intercept Qiu Ze.
Stop Qiu Ze's long shot.
In fact, Qiu Ze, who was dribbling the ball forward, originally intended to take a long shot. However, seeing Vidic rushing out in time, Qiu Ze changed his mind. He immediately moved the football to the left and changed direction.
Dribbling the ball to the left.
Manchester United's center back Vidic immediately followed him. He didn't want to get rid of Qiu Ze. If he got rid of him, it would be troublesome.
Vidic quickly followed up, but just as he was following up, Qiu Ze, who was carrying the ball, suddenly twisted his body and passed the football in the opposite direction in an extremely awkward posture.
The football quickly rolled between the legs of Vidic, who looked stunned, and rolled behind Vidic.
Oh my God, that guy Qiu Ze changed direction to dribble to the left. It was all fake. He was attracting the attention of Vidic and the Manchester United defenders, and then he unexpectedly made a reverse cross pass.
Passed the football into the penalty area on the right.
The football immediately rolled diagonally into the Manchester United penalty area.
Because just now the attention of the Manchester United players was attracted by Qiu Ze to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area, so the right side is somewhat empty.
At this time, Liverpool's captain Gerrard inserted like a sharp sword from Manchester United's ribs into Manchester United's penalty area and rushed towards the rolling football.
"Danger!" Everyone in Manchester United was aware of the danger. Didn't this expose the goal to Gerrard's gun? The Manchester United fans were so frightened that their scalps were numb.
If this goal is lost, it will be one to three, and it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win the game. At this time, Manchester United fans are praying for Manchester United, hoping that this goal
Can't enter.
The Liverpool fans were very excited. They seemed to have seen the football rolling into Manchester United's goal again. They were so excited.
Gerrard, who rushed up at high speed, also had a clear path in front of him, but Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar quickly rushed to the right side of the goal.
Gerrard rushed up quickly and kicked the football. His rounded right leg hit the football bullet like a firing pin in the barrel of a gun. The huge impact force immediately ejected the football.
When you get out, the bullet is just like a starlight, speeding forward quickly!
