spnIn this game, Benitez's tactics are to attack. He will attack fiercely as soon as possible and put pressure on Manchester United, hoping to score as early as possible.
Liverpool's goal is obvious, they must win this game, even though the opponent is their bitter rival Manchester United.
Liverpool's style of play is completely centered on me, and they launched a fierce attack after the opening game!
After the kick-off, Mascherano received the pass and did not continue to pass it back. Instead, he immediately passed the ball directly to the right side of the court, where Kuyt had already run up.
After Kuyt took the ball, he first changed direction and passed Scholes, and then when Carrick came up to grab the ball, the Dutch giant suddenly divided the ball.[
There, Johnson received the ball and Benayoun did a one-two against the wall. Then, Johnson took two steps and suddenly took a shot about 40 meters away from the goal.
The full-back suddenly stepped in to assist. It was a powerful and heavy shot, which hit Evra in the face. The latter fell straight down as if being hit by a quilt, lying on the turf twitching.
.
The Manchester United veteran lying on the turf seemed to have lost consciousness. Thick blood flowed out of his nostrils like an unstoppable torrent. Just now, Evra did not expect that Johnson would suddenly kick and shoot. He was completely conscious.
He used his face to block it. Although Evra was already more than ten meters away from Johnson, the Englishman's foot power was really great.
Manchester United team doctor Jeffs hurriedly ran to the field, but did not dare to move Evra. After a minute, the consciousness of the Manchester United veteran became a little clearer, and the staff of the Anfield Stadium took Evra away.
He was pushed off the field. The Manchester United veteran's face was covered with nosebleeds and he looked extremely scary.
On the other side, Johnson kept explaining to the referee and the Manchester United players that the kick he just made was not intentional. Although he looked fierce and had a big temper, he was not bad-hearted, and he was indeed who it was.
He didn't expect that this shot would hit the unprepared Evra straight away.
On the sidelines, Ferguson frowned and looked very worried. It was a terrible situation that this happened less than a minute after the game started.
"Is it serious?" Ferguson asked the team doctor.
"If the bleeding is controlled, there shouldn't be much of a problem... It's just that breathing will be a little difficult!" Team doctor Jeffs was helping Evra stop the bleeding and clean the blood from his face.
"Oh, hell!" The old Scottish man waved his arm depressedly. The old man's first thought was that he needed to be replaced.
Glancing at the bench, the old man shook his head. Obviously, Manchester United's substitute defender couldn't reassure him at all today. It seemed that he could only let the Frenchman persist and try on the field. If it really didn't work, he would be replaced.
Evra also knew Manchester United's predicament and indicated that he could still persevere, but the team doctor also repeatedly told the Frenchman to speak out immediately if there was further bleeding, which meant that the Frenchman had to end the game.
Less than one minute into the game, the players were already bleeding, and it was the Manchester United players who suffered the loss. Of course, the home fans of Liverpool would be extremely excited, "Haha, this is Anfield!"
After the game restarted, the ball still belonged to Liverpool, and the Manchester United and Liverpool players were not polite at all. They threw the ball and continued to attack.
A bloody price has been paid, but the opponent did not take the initiative to hand over the ball. This behavior has been collectively dissatisfied by Manchester United fans. These pages are somewhat contrary to sportsmanship, but so what, except for the away Manchester United fans.
Despite the constant boos, Liverpool's offense certainly showed no sign of weakening.
Johnson threw the throw-in to Mascherano, who then passed the ball across to Benayoun, who directly divided the ball, where Carragher came up.
After Carragher took a distance, he pretended to cross. Carrick immediately came up to block it. Unexpectedly, Carragher made a fake move. He dunked the football beautifully, took two more steps, and hoisted the football into the penalty area.
.
In the penalty area, Torres has already secured his position. In terms of judging the landing point, Torres obviously has his own unique points. He doesn't even need to take off, he just tilts his head and smashes the football into the goal.
Fortunately, Van der Sar was experienced and reacted in advance, blocking the ball out with one palm.
Corner kick, in the 5th minute of the game, Liverpool's first real shot almost scored.[
"Li, go and watch that Spaniard." Van der Sar was directing the team's defense. He handed over the task of guarding Torres to Li Yu. Li Yu who made a return visit was rarely seen in Manchester United games.
, instead Rooney rushed to the front alone and did not return to defense.
Benitez also observed this phenomenon. He thought it was a good omen. At the beginning of the game, he found some changes in the movement of the two people and was a little surprised. But now it seems that no matter what the changes are, Liverpool has completely suppressed the scene.
With Manchester United, there is nothing to worry about.
Benayoun took the corner kick. This time, it was Ferdinand who grabbed the point. He pushed the football out of the penalty area, but it fell right at the feet of Torres.
The Spaniard had his chest ready to stop the ball, and his feet were ready to move. But as soon as he stretched out his feet, he found a figure blocking Torres in an instant. It was absolutely perfect.
This person is Li Yu, who is responsible for defending Torres. When the ball comes close, Li Yu heads the ball a little and clears the ball out of the dangerous area.
Applause immediately broke out in the visiting team's stands. Li Yu participated in the defense and was so beautiful. It was really rare. Manchester United fans applauded.
The fans at home thought that Manchester United had escaped disaster.
In the stands of Anfield Stadium, this shot received a chorus of sighs. The sea of red in the stands rose and fell, creating huge waves of people.
Liverpool fans were very satisfied with the team's momentum after the start.
The camera also focused on the two head coaches on the sidelines. Benitez was sitting on the coaching bench, obviously very satisfied with the offensive after the goal, while Ferguson was a little unable to sit still. The old Scottish man stood up and said:
While pacing, chewing gum in his mouth, and looking at the field from time to time, he was thinking about countermeasures.
However, after Ferguson thought about it for two minutes, he decided to stay calm for the time being. The game had just begun. Making changes so early was not in line with the old Scottish man's habits. He wanted to wait and see the reaction of his team before making any decisions.
Liverpool's attack was very exciting after the start, and Manchester United didn't even have a shot. This is not Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.
Soon after, we finally saw Manchester United's offensive performance. This time it was rare for Li Yu to get the ball in the midfield. Manchester United's No. 9 stepped on his bicycle twice in a row, and suddenly accelerated to get rid of Lucas, who was clinging to him.
Pass the ball to Giggs on the left.
Giggs took a few steps to pass the ball to Scholes, who came up to meet him. After taking two steps, Scholes took a half-high ball and knocked the ball towards Valencia on the right.
Valencia showed good competitive form after coming to Manchester United, so Johnson immediately pounced on him, planning to take advantage of Valencia's opportunity to stop the ball and poke away the football. This player who was produced by Liverpool's youth training camp is very fast.
Quickly, he accelerated and rushed to the side of the Ecuadorian.
Valencia faced the football and raised his right leg, but did not stop the ball, but let the football roll past him!
Missed the ball!
Johnson was taken aback, and before he could react, Valencia turned around, passed by him, and caught up with the football.
Facing the football, it was a deft shot. The football drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal. Liverpool goalkeeper Reina jumped up like a frog.
The football blocked it...
"Beautiful shot... incredible save! Great! Reina! His reaction is as fast as the speed of light!" Lineker was full of praise for Reina's save, although the Liverpool goalkeeper's save was very embarrassing.
However, the reaction was very quick and the attack was beautiful.
Ferguson watched Valencia's sudden imaginative shot from the sidelines, which almost spiraled into the goal. The old man clenched his fists in front of his chest, ready to jump up and cheer at any time. Then he saw Reina actually put the football into the goal.
After throwing the ball out, the godfather of Manchester United waved his hands in annoyance, sat down on the coaching bench, and sighed regretfully.
When Diamond took a corner kick in the penalty area, Li Yu jumped up high and rubbed the back of his head. The football turned backwards and flew out after grazing the crossbar.[
This was also Li Yu's first shot of the game. When he was stuck in the air, he turned around and watched the football flying off the crossbar. The regret and unwillingness on his face were clearly captured by the live cameras.
"Oh, it's just a little bit close." Jenny, who was sitting in front of the TV, exclaimed. She almost thought the goal was scored.
Jenny's little fists were clenched tightly. Although she was a fake fan, she also understood that in this game, her boyfriend would be the starter and there would be a lot of pressure. If he did not perform well, he would definitely be greeted by the media again.
Big accusation.
Just now she saw Li Rui hit the ball. She looked at the trajectory of the ball and thought it must have gone in. She raised her hands and wanted to cheer, but then she saw the football flying off the crossbar. She slapped the armrest of the sofa hard with regret.
Seeing Li Yu's expression, Jenny also trembled in her heart. If the goal was scored and Manchester United took the lead, the pressure on her boyfriend's shoulders would be easier.
Liverpool quickly launched an attack.
After Mascherano and Benayoun made a collision-like cooperation, they suddenly passed a very penetrating ball. Aurelio got the ball in the center and sent the ball back to the left again.
This pass tore through Manchester United's left defense line. Johnson, who was cutting in at high speed from the wing, received the ball, controlled the football slightly, moved the football forward, and then kicked the ball from the baseline to pass.
It was Johnson who stepped in from the back row again. This Liverpool tactic must have been practiced by Benitez before the game. The pass was low and flat. Such a pass was not a problem for Torres to grab points, but
, under the interference of Ferdinand, the Spaniard only touched the football line for a while.
Van der Sar reacted quickly, stretched his legs and blocked the football out of the penalty area. Lucas, who followed up, stopped the ball with his chest and shot the ball.
I have to admire the Dutch veteran's second reaction. Van der Sar was like 'a Batman, making a save that made Anfield sigh'... ("Daily Mirror" described the save after the game.
)!!
"Great save!"
"Incredible save! At this moment, I thought the Dutch were 10 years younger!"
The commentators also praised the Manchester United goalkeeper's miraculous save.
Van der Sar stood up and loosened his gloves. Pongler's shot just now was so powerful that his fingers hurt from the shock.
"Watch him! Watch that guy! Don't let it happen again!"
When Lucas took a supplementary shot, there was no one around him to defend him. At that position, Manchester United made a fatal mistake.
"Concentrate." Ferguson also shouted from the sidelines. He was a little dissatisfied with Ferdinand's performance just now.
The game has reached the 29th minute, and the score on the field is still 0:0.
"Although there was no goal, this was not a boring game. The offensive and defensive transitions of both sides were very fast. It can be seen that the head coaches of both teams attach great importance to this game. Benitez is
A life-saving straw, and Ferguson wanted to give Li Yu a chance to make up for his off-field mistakes. This is an opportunity and a task that must be completed!" Lineker took a sip of water and analyzed the intentions of the two teams.
At this moment, Manchester United's midfielder made a passing and receiving error, and Liverpool quickly launched a counterattack.
After Li Yu got the ball in the midfield, he made a long pass to Rooney. In previous games, Li Yu was the player who received the ball. He always made such long passes when he suddenly had an idea. Now he saw Rooney playing.
He waved to him for the ball, but passed the ball anyway.
After taking the ball, he realized that it was too small for Rooney to catch such a pass. Moreover, as long as someone intercepted the ball halfway, he would very likely stop the ball.
Sure enough, Johnson appeared, intercepted the ball in the middle, and immediately transferred the football to Lucas with a big foot. The latter directly passed the ball diagonally, where Mascherano chased the football.
Mascherano caught up with the football, then poked his toe, accelerated and passed by Carrick.
The stands at Anfield were filled with cheers.
When Li Yu saw an error in passing and receiving in the frontcourt, he chased back all the way. Now he was gradually approaching Mascherano, and then made a direct tackle from behind. Manchester United's No. 9 risked being kicked out.
The danger must also be to block Liverpool's counterattack.
In the stands of the Anfield stadium, red waves were rolling, and applause rang out. Everyone saw that Mascherano seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, flicking the ball away from Li Li.
For Jade's tackle, the referee had already put his whistle in his mouth and was about to call the Manchester United captain a foul. Now that he failed to make the tackle from behind, he did not blow the whistle and raised his hands flat, and the game continued.
Mascherano, who avoided Li Yu's tackle from behind, took two more steps, attracted O'Shea to come up to defend him, and suddenly made a diagonal pass. The ball passed through the space between O'Shea and Ferdinand.
Flying towards the right corner of the penalty area, everyone saw Benayoun running towards there.
A scalpel-like accurate ball scoring!!
Many Liverpool fans have already stood up. As long as Benayoun gets the ball and cuts inside, it is a one-man goal! If he can score a goal before the end of the first half and take the lead into the halftime break,
, absolutely wonderful!
Just when Benayoun was about to catch the ball, a black figure rushed up and jumped very high. You could even clearly feel that there was an obvious glide in the air. He hit the ball with all his strength.
Topped the ball before the Israelis.
"Oh God... This is the Manchester United No. 3 who has been disappearing!!... It's Evra! This guy finally appeared again, where the team needs him most." Peter's mouth is big enough to fit in.
A duck egg, he shouted in surprise.
"Quick, counterattack!" The Frenchman, who had completed a wonderful defense, sat on the turf and roared at his teammates.
That's right, this time, Liverpool's quick counterattack was all over the line. No one thought that Benayoun was about to get the ball and form a one-man attack, but Evra, who had almost done nothing, completed a wonderful defense. At this time,
Liverpool's defense, because of the full pressure this time, can be said to be full of loopholes.
As soon as Evra shouted, Carrick ran over from the other side to fill the position. He pushed the football with his chest, then looked ahead, and directly made a long pass. He was looking for Li Yu.
At this point, Li Yu is now near the midfield.
Johnson, who had just pressed out, immediately rushed back to defend and rushed towards Li Yu. However, no one expected that Li Yu did not stop the ball at all, but got into position first, blocked Johnson, and let the football pass by him.
, and then threw off his feet and chased the football.
Oh my God, this is not the action that a midfielder should make, this is the action of a striker!
Ferguson was also a little helpless. This guy is still a striker, but the effect of his actions is quite good. Should he still go it alone?
"Stop him!" Reina yelled in front of the goal. Carragher rushed out and tackled the football with a tackle close to the turf. The rain that fell at the beginning of the game has gradually stopped, but the field is still there.
It was a bit slippery, and the spikes of the shoes stuck on the turf, leaving a mark and splashing water towards the football in front of Li Yu.
Then everyone saw that Li Yu was still not panicking. He suddenly changed direction, passed the ball out in an instant, and then jumped high to avoid the opponent's tackle.
He is really a young man who is incomprehensible. The action in the midfield came again. Ferguson didn't have time to think too much. Rooney had already got the ball...
