Two to zero, at the end of the first half, Liverpool led two to zero.
Liverpool's start was very smooth, and they fooled Manchester United right away. Liverpool's second goal was more likely to be due to luck.
I'm so lucky to have it plugged in.
Manchester United people attributed all this to the luck of the Liverpool people, and they believed that this was definitely not an absolute reflection of the strength of the two teams.
After falling behind by two goals, Manchester United launched a ferocious counterattack. They suppressed Liverpool in the second half of the first half and did not let Liverpool get another chance. This shows that they
The strength is worse than that of Liverpool, the only difference is luck.
In the second half of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was very good. This guy completed a total of six shots, five of which were within the goal frame. Three of them were very good opportunities.
The ball was about to go into the net, but it was resolved by Liverpool's in-form goalkeeper Reina.
Cristiano Ronaldo was unhappy in the first half of the game. He created many opportunities and the quality of his shots was also very high, but he failed to score, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
In addition to these six shots, Cristiano Ronaldo also passed two very good balls. Unfortunately, Bulgaria forward Berbatov's header from close range hit Liverpool goalkeeper Reina hard.
Carrick's close-range push hit the feet of Liverpool center back Skrtel. The football changed direction and almost missed the uprights of Liverpool's goal and rolled out of the bottom line.
In the first half of the game, Manchester United created many more opportunities than Liverpool, but it was Liverpool who took the lead. Of course, the Manchester United players were not satisfied and felt very unhappy. There was a feeling of sadness in their hearts.
Jiner, they hope to perform well in the second half of the game and show the Liverpool people what their true strength is.
Soon the second half of the game officially started, and of course it was the home team Manchester United that kicked off the game. As soon as the game started, Manchester United launched a ferocious attack.
At this point, Manchester United has only one way to attack, unless they don't want to advance.
At the beginning of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo created a very good opportunity. After this guy made continuous breakthroughs on the wing and attracted the attention of Liverpool's defensive players, he immediately crossed the ball.
Rooney followed up in the middle and was unmarked. This was an excellent opportunity. Unfortunately, Rooney did not put on his shooting boots today, and the football missed the far post and rolled out of the baseline.
"Oh! What a pity. Rooney, what a great opportunity! He actually missed the ball without anyone interfering with it. This shouldn't be the case!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen sighed.
With.
"Today's Manchester United team is really not playing well. It's a pity that they couldn't seize such a good opportunity! It doesn't look like Liverpool played a 120-minute game in the midfield.
It’s even more like Manchester United did this.” Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker lamented.
Indeed, judging from the scene, almost all the Manchester United players except Cristiano Ronaldo had weak legs today.
On the sidelines, Manchester United's head coach Ferguson looked really anxious. At this time, Ferguson immediately made substitution adjustments and replaced Carrick with Anderson. He hoped to use the substitution to stimulate Manchester United's enthusiasm.
Players, please change your ball game.
After Anderson came on the field, Manchester United's offensive continued unabated and the threat was also great. In these ten minutes, Manchester United had threatened Liverpool's defensive line three times in a row. This also made Liverpool's head coach Benitez anxious.
.
Benitez couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately replaced Xabi Alonso in the midfield with Carrick, who had returned from injury, and directly added a defender to the defense. This was a change to 541.
Qiu Ze also withdrew from the midfielder position.
Now Liverpool's frontcourt is left with Fernando Torres interfering in front.
Manchester United, on the other hand, has increased its offensive intensity. Now with the passage of game time, Manchester United must speed up the offensive rhythm and improve the offensive efficiency, otherwise they will lose this game.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still the most active guy in the Manchester United team. He always exerts endless energy every time he faces Liverpool, which creates a lot of trouble for Liverpool's defense.
Here, Cristiano Ronaldo is here again. After playing a one-two with Scholes on the wing and in the center, he suddenly dribbled the ball inward, and Arbeloa on the wing was also led by him.
Then, he immediately turned around and sent the football behind Arbeloa.
There, Liverpool's full-back Brown rushed forward quickly, appeared in the space, caught up with the football at high speed, and then directly kicked the ball into the Liverpool penalty area.
In the Liverpool penalty area, Manchester United's center Bulgarian jumped up high, overwhelming Carrick, who had just returned from injury, and turned his head to return the ball to the point.
Yes, the Bulgarian forward did not force a header, but swung the football back towards the penalty area line.
Suddenly, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo rushed up like a red afterimage and hit the football with a kick.
There was a loud bang, which shocked the entire Manchester United fans' hearts.
The ball was so powerful and so fast that everyone felt as if they saw a flash of white light, and then the ball disappeared.
Whoosh! The football flashed past everyone's eyes like a white lightning with a sound of breaking through the air, crossed the Liverpool team's crossbar, and flew out of the bottom line.
"Wow! Unbelievable! Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score! He hit the ball high! What a great opportunity! Damn it, what happened to the Manchester United people today? Why can't they find the goal?
?" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen asked in surprise.
"Actually, Cristiano Ronaldo's main fault for this goal is that he rushed up too fast, and he didn't stop the ball and hit the football hard with one kick. It would be okay if he didn't use his strength to score the ball.
Some, but this guy exerted so much force that the ball went over the crossbar. He exerted too much force and did not suppress the ball." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker immediately
explained.
Manchester United's attack scared the Liverpool people. This time it was really dangerous. Let Cristiano Ronaldo shoot from that position. This is undoubtedly a death-defying rhythm. Benitez is very important to Liverpool.
He was very dissatisfied with the defense. He immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, signaling the Liverpool team to strengthen their defense.
And at this time, Benitez made another substitution. He replaced the Dutchman Kuyt on the wing with captain Gerrard. Gerrard sat out today because he has been very physically exhausted recently.
On the bench.
There are only about 20 minutes left before the end of the game. Of course, Benitez replaced Gerrard to strengthen the defense. Liverpool has now changed the formation again, and the formation has now become 5, 3, 1, 1. The defense line
There are five defenders, and in front of these five defenders are three defensive midfielders, Gerrard, Qiu Ze and Mascherano. These three have completely given up attacking and are fully engaged in defense.
In front of the three defensive midfielders is the Russian Arshavin. This guy is not slow and has good passing ability. Therefore, this guy has become the biggest support for Liverpool's counterattack at this time. And Spanish forward Fernando Torres is
He stayed alone in the frontcourt, dragging down Manchester United's defense.
Looking at Liverpool's formation, Alex Ferguson felt shameless from the bottom of his heart. He thought Benitez was too shameless and had no bottom line. This guy was simply killing football.
The Manchester United fans at the scene were also very dissatisfied. Didn't the damn Liverpool people park a bus directly in front of the goal? These damn guys are too shameless and despicable!
Cristiano Ronaldo was also closely guarded at this time, which curbed the Portuguese's performance and also curbed the best point of Manchester United's performance today. This delayed Manchester United's attack and gave
It gave Liverpool a chance to breathe.
At this time, Manchester United still did not slow down the pace of the attack. They continued to attack. Anderson, who took the ball in the middle, looked up at the situation on the court, and then passed the ball directly to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United's most active player, and this guy puts the greatest pressure on Liverpool when he gets the ball.
However, just as Anderson passed the ball, Qiu Ze, who was wearing a white jersey, suddenly burst out of the crowd, fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, and scooped up the football that was about to roll to Cristiano Ronaldo's feet. The football immediately
Rolled to Mascherano's feet.
The ball was stolen! Great opportunity for Liverpool to counterattack!
Mascherano didn't touch the ball when he got the ball. He directly gave the ball to Arshavin in front.
When Mascherano passed the ball, Liverpool's Gerrard, Fernando Torres and others rushed forward quickly, rushing towards the Manchester United half.
At this time, Manchester United was attacking like crazy, almost losing the defense and nearly half the ball was over. Their half was quite empty. If Liverpool were allowed to pass the ball along, Manchester United would be in trouble.
Manchester United center back Vidic immediately rushed out and ran into Arshavin crazily. He would rather foul than let Arshavin pass the football.
But at this moment, the back of Arshavin's head seemed to open his eyes. He seemed to have discovered Vidic rushing out. So, he immediately ran two steps back to meet the football, and then moved the football sideways.
, the football immediately rolled towards the center.
Boom! Vidic rushed forward and hit hard, knocking Arshavin to the ground.
However, the referee's whistle did not sound. The referee did not call a foul because Gerrard rushed up like the wind from the middle, intercepted the football and rushed into the Manchester United penalty area crazily, dribbling the ball towards the goalkeeper.
into Manchester United's penalty area.
Offensive advantage! The referee gave an offensive advantage! Suddenly all the Manchester United players were stunned and their faces were full of horror.
The Manchester United defensive players immediately turned around crazily and chased Gerrard with the ball like crazy. The Manchester United players who were further away complained frantically to the referee, who believed that the referee should have stopped the ball.
game, give Vidic a yellow card.
Yes, at this time, how much the Manchester United players hope that the referee can stop the game on the grounds of giving Vidic a yellow card.
However, the referee did not do this. Now, Manchester United was really in danger.
After intercepting the ball, Gerrard floated past Ferdinand like a wild horse and rushed towards the Manchester United penalty area.
Because there were still two or three meters between Ferdinand and Gerrard, Ferdinand had no chance of fouling. He was so straight that Gerrard broke through.
