The highlight of the fourth round of SPN was held on time at Anfield Stadium as scheduled. The Red Devils Manchester United challenged the Red Army Liverpool away. The direct dialogue between the old and new league giants attracted a large number of fans to watch. The stadium was already full, and there were many
Fans without tickets gathered in the square outside the stadium.
Benitez and Ferguson, as the head coaches of the two teams in this field, led their respective players into the lounge with stern expressions.
The battle was about to begin, and the players from the two teams arrived at the venue first for the final warm-up. At this time, the fans of the two teams were about to confront each other. The Manchester United fans were loudly singing "We are the champions" to satirize the Liverpool people who are not as good as each other year after year.
Liverpool fans had an absolute advantage in numbers, and soon the singing of Manchester United fans was drowned out by their uniform shouts, "Liverpool, Liverpool!"
The players are warming up, and the fans of both teams are also warming up.[
Li Yu will appear on the front line in this game. His partner is still Rooney, and Tevez is placed in the winger position. Ferguson has made fine adjustments to Manchester United's attack line in response to Liverpool. Before the game, the media thought it was a three-forward tactic.
Now it seems that Sir Alex Ferguson did not do this. If he could let the media know the opportunity every time, Ferguson would not be the legendary coach.
At the beginning of the game, people will find that Manchester United's forward position is very unique. Li Yu is in front, Rooney is ambushing behind him, and Tevez is in the middle left position between the two.
Manchester United formed a triangular attack combination on the left. The positions of the three of them were not fixed at all. Rooney would sometimes suddenly step in, Li Yu would retreat, or Li Yu would step aside, Tevez would retreat, and Rooney would continue to advance.
The changes in the offense were huge, making it difficult for Liverpool's defensive players to defend against each other. Benitez seemed to have anticipated Manchester United's offensive intentions. After Liverpool got through the initial panic, they followed the coach's instructions from the sidelines.
Change to zone defense instead of focusing on individuals.
A strong team is worthy of being a strong team. The tactics changed very quickly and immediately reversed the passive situation.
Of course, Ferguson will not let Liverpool have any free time. You change and I change. There is no goal on the left, so change sides!
The triangle attack group has moved to Liverpool's left wing, which is also Manchester United's right wing. When it comes to the grasp of the opening, no coach can compare with Ferguson. Manchester United can always find a way to open up the situation at the beginning. This is Ferguson's unique ability.
place.
After Li Yu got the ball, he didn't look at the position of his teammates. He sent the ball to the right wing and immediately jumped in first. At this time, Rooney was moving on the right wing. After receiving Li Yu's pass, he knocked the ball horizontally.
To Tevez, who was trailing behind, the Argentine didn't delay at all and immediately sent a through ball.
The three of them once played an exquisite cooperation that was like mercury falling to the ground. After switching to the right, the positioning sense between the three of them also improved a lot. Li Yu faced the ball and chose to shoot at a very small angle.
According to past feelings, he would definitely take the ball and observe again. After Ferguson's conversation, Li Yu completely followed his own feelings. When he thought of shooting, he shot without hesitation.
It was a pity that the ball passed through the goal and only hit the side netting.
An annoyed Li Yu did not forget to express her gratitude to her teammates. She raised her hand and applauded Tevez, indicating that the ball was passed well.
"You wasted an opportunity! But you played a bit domineering!" Rooney came directly to talk to Li Yu. Since the start of the game, Manchester United has been leading the attack. Obviously Rooney is in a good mood.
"Domineering?" Li Yu repeated Rooney's words. This was the first time he heard his teammates comment on his playing style, "I think Manchester United is the winner today!"
"Haha, me too, who can say otherwise! Unless he wants another flying shoe from the boss!" Rooney and Li Yu joked. People all over the world know that Beckham left Manchester United because of a flying shoe.
, that is, the favored Rooney dared to joke about this topic with the newcomers, veteran players like Giggs and Scholes. This is a taboo topic. After speaking, Rooney still reminded Li Yu that he could not say
Get out!
The game continued. In the first 15 minutes of the first half, Manchester United was completely in charge, turning Anfield into Old Trafford. Not to mention, both teams were dominated by red clubs. Red was them.
The logo, isn’t Anfield just a sea of red?
However, there were two groups of fans during the red game. Most fans were a little disappointed, while a small number of Manchester United fans sang and danced as if celebrating victory. They dominated the stadium at this moment.
There is still a goal to be scored, no goal is scored, and the advantage cannot be converted into a victory. Ferguson is watching the situation in the field nervously. His opening plan has been successful so far. He dominates the game with offense and defeats the home team Liverpool from the very beginning.
The arrogance was suppressed forcefully.
What about Liverpool? It seems that they are a little bit blinded. Apart from defending them, they have no chance to attack. Benitez is anxious and has no choice. He can't make substitutions now. This is a big taboo. Unless the players are injured, otherwise any
No coach will easily make substitutions right after the game starts.[
While looking forward to scoring a goal, at the same time worrying about scoring a goal, the goal has not appeared. No, it is not that it has not appeared, but that it has appeared in reverse.
In the 18th minute, Liverpool scored in their first effective attack.
The goal was somewhat surprising. Alonso received Gerrard's pass and shot from the right. The ball hit Evra's leg and was reversed. Van der Sar hit the ball but it hit Brown and entered the net. Unlucky.
Brown didn't know what was going on, so he scored an own goal.
Van der Sar obviously believed that the main responsibility was on himself. He was still comforting the depressed Brown, "It's not your fault. My assist was really surprising!"
"I didn't expect you could still joke at this time!" Browne took the ball out of the goal and kicked it towards the midfield.
"Unexpected, just do what we should do, now we can only look at the performance from the front!" Van der Sar pointed to the player standing on the center line.
1:0, Manchester United fell behind with an own goal. They had not played a few games. This was already their second own goal.
Ferguson didn't say anything on the bench, but he chewed gum much faster. The coach looked calm on the outside, but anyone who knew his little habits knew that, and could also feel the anxiety in his heart at this time.
After only 3 minutes, Ferguson stood up and waved his arms excitedly to celebrate the goal.
No one expected, including the Liverpool fans and players who had just been boosted by the goal, that Li Yu would decisively run to the left wing of Manchester United after kicking off the ball. After receiving the ball from the left wing, he broke through and ran all the way to the edge of the penalty area, decisively
The ball was handed to Wayne Rooney who was lagging behind.
Rooney took the ball and passed it directly to Li Yu. There was a simple pass between the two. Li Yu cut directly into the Liverpool penalty area along the wing. Skrtel and Aurelio both blocked forward.
Li Yu calmly chose to cross from the left side of the penalty area to the center, and Tevez shot from 14 meters away to score.
Manchester United quickly equalized the score to 1-1, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
The goal came completely from the triangle combination's offensive mode. Liverpool was obviously not used to the new Manchester United offensive mode. This goal seemed natural, unlike Liverpool's previous goals, which relied entirely on luck.
Manchester United was full of momentum and continued to attack in the second half of the first half. Liverpool's defense became increasingly difficult, especially for Li Yu. Today's changeable position made Li Yu feel good and he could pose a certain threat wherever he went.
, especially the tacit cooperation between the three people, which is extremely threatening. Li Yu and Tevez will make some breakthroughs from time to time and pass the ball while traveling, which makes the defensive players more difficult. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, high
There was only one block that failed to save his team.
Manchester United actually took the lead in the first half, and their biggest contributor to maintaining the current tie was Reina.
Benitez would walk to the sidelines and shout a few words from time to time, regardless of whether his gestures and shouts could be heard by the players on the field. In fact, the head coach was mostly venting his own pressure and anger.
After watching the first half, Huaxia fans will have a feeling that the game is over before they even watch it. Time passes too fast. This is how a good game is. Before the fans know it, the game is over in 45 minutes.
.
The only shortcoming is that Manchester United is not in the lead. In China, Manchester United is definitely the team with the most support from fans. There is no one team that stands out. Many sports programs have one or two authentic Manchester United No. 9 jerseys to launch so-called fan Q&A and voting.
, this old-fashioned method that has been outdated for a long time actually only makes money but does not lose money.
During the intermission between games, fans go to the toilet and do other things. When the second half of the game starts, they don't have time to do anything else.
Players from both teams returned to the field, and the second half of the game began immediately, with Manchester United kicking off.
At this time, the camera of the live broadcast was focused on Ronaldo on the Manchester United bench. The camera immediately turned and showed the head coach Ferguson. The camera clearly explained that when Ferguson sends out Ronaldo, it is when Manchester United attacks. [
Li Yu kicked the ball to Tevez, who passed the ball back, and the second half began.
As soon as Manchester United started to control the ball, they changed from the stormy attack mode in the first half. Liverpool's preparations failed again. In the competition between the two coaches, Ferguson took the lead step by step, while Benitez led the team step by step.
A so-called master tactician could only play the role of a pursuer and fell behind.
In the second half, Liverpool intensified their efforts to fight and intercept in the midfield, using the same old methods. Although there was no new idea, the effect was pretty good. Li Yu was the first player to taste Liverpool's black feet in the second half, receiving a call from Scholes.
Before Li Yu could make a move when passing the ball, Mascherano's flying shovel came to his feet. Li Yu had to jump up to avoid it, and the ball was shoveled out of the baseline.
The referee didn't call the penalty at all, it was just a throw-in. Ferguson immediately pointed to the field and said a few words. Fortunately, no Manchester United players were hurt. Otherwise, the angry old man would definitely be enough for the referee to drink.
of.
In the second half, the two teams are really competing. Manchester United is attracting Liverpool's attack, and Liverpool is fighting tenaciously. Whoever opens the situation first will be able to take the initiative.
