1302 The Red Devils' Weak Line of Defense

Anfield was buzzing.

The Red Army fans made deafening cheers in the stands!

Even if Liverpool have a huge advantage over Manchester United, when they meet Manchester United, the Red Army fans will be extremely excited, more excited than ever before, because they have been for a long, long time, and have never even faced Manchester United with such a domineering attitude.

Full of pride, self-confidence, and may even be interpreted as a kind of arrogance by others!

Maybe it is true, Red Army fans want to put on an arrogant posture in front of Manchester United now!

The person on the throne of England is Liverpool, the Red Army, not the Red Devils Manchester United!

Today Koeman and Ferguson both stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle. Liverpool lost the last league game, and the next game will be against AC Milan in the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final. Koeman naturally cannot accept losing this game the result of the game.

Losing to a deadly enemy is very demoralizing, plus there has been a defeat before, and once Manchester United shortens the points gap to 9 points, then the overwhelming news may be overwhelmingly unfavorable to Liverpool.

Because the media needs suspense, and the championship that needs the Premier League is a battle between dragons and tigers, not a dominance.

If things develop like that, it will naturally be detrimental to Liverpool's future. The league foundation that has already been laid will distract the team, and there will naturally be psychological pressure.

So Liverpool can't lose this game anyway.

A tie is acceptable.

Considering that Manchester United will fight for a chance to reverse the comeback, Liverpool's battle plan today is to hold Manchester United and compete patiently with their opponents.

After the start of the game, Liverpool did not press hard, but slowed down the rhythm.

The Red Devils and Manchester United did not dare to invest too much force in the frontcourt to fight back because they were afraid of Liverpool's attacking group.

Liverpool skillfully controlled the ball in the midfield, back and forth between the players, in the process of passing patiently to find the flaws in Manchester United's defense, and then suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, speed up!

In the 7th minute of the game, Meireles kicked a through ball obliquely, which made people's eyes shine. After Dirk Dirk cut to the baseline, he received Meireles' through ball and passed the ball to the At the foot of Suarez in the middle.

Just after entering the penalty area, Suarez flexibly changed the direction of the ball at his feet, shaking out the shooting space in front of Brown, but unfortunately his shot did not exert power, and the football was finally confiscated by Van der Sar easily.

Manchester United wanted to speed up the game when they had the ball to organize the attack.

It's a pity that Scholes has entered the end of his career, and his physical fitness and speed have declined significantly. He can no longer complete the pass in the frontcourt, nor can he better respond to the passes of his teammates in a wide range of active running. ball.

Giggs is almost the same, his dribbling breakthrough has dropped significantly compared to when he was young.

Manchester United can almost only rely on Nani's side to complete the breakthrough on the wing.

Baines' defense today was very successful. When Nani tried to break through him on the side for the second time, Baines successfully defended the inside line, and Nani had to fall into the predicament of being besieged at the bottom corner of the wing.

The quality of the ball was barely high, and Liverpool regained control of the ball after Agger's header was cleared.

Then once again entered the slow-paced offensive work of finding the opponent's space.

In the 15th minute of the game, Qin Xiong broke through O'Shea in the frontcourt and made a pass from the bottom. Dirk Didier nodded behind the goal and the ball went wide. Liverpool's striker gradually began to find the feeling, because Manchester United's defense line today was obviously weak. .

Manchester United couldn't hold back after 20 minutes of the game and began to take the initiative to speed up the pace. The Red Devils needed to score to win.

A draw is meaningless to Manchester United's title race.

It can't even slow down Liverpool's time to win the championship.

In the 26th minute of the game, Evra assisted to the frontcourt. Since it was difficult for Scholes to find an open space in front of the penalty area, Berbatov's impact in the penalty area was not as strong as Rooney, especially in terms of physical confrontation.

Evra had no choice but to make a cross from the wing, and Rooney fell into a physical confrontation with Skrtel in front of the goal. The two entangled and fought for the football. Almost at the same time, the two hit the football, causing the football to break out Refraction changed direction and flew out of the bottom line.

The referee gave Manchester United a corner kick with a whistle, and Liverpool was very dissatisfied with this.

Skrtel thought he hit the ball first, and the football that flew out was topped by Rooney and then popped out of the baseline.

But the referee ignored Liverpool's protest.

Giggs ran to take the corner kick, and Liverpool blocked the inside and outside of the penalty area. In the overcrowded penalty area, when the corner kick from Giggs flew over, Gerrard, who was defending at the front point, grabbed ahead of Berbatov. Headed the ball out.

I saw Qin Xiong, Suarez, and Dirk Buyt who were staying in Liverpool's midfield and backcourt, as if the activation button had been pressed.

Couit took the lead in knocking the ball across to Meireles next to Scholes, and then quickly turned around and pulled it to the right. Meireles kicked the ball to the front of Dirk's running position .

After regaining control of the ball, Dirk rushed forward. When he was intercepted by full-back Evra, he passed the ball directly to Suarez who was running forward in the middle.

The Uruguayan striker slowed down after stopping the ball, but his agility in possession was something United's defense couldn't resist.

Just as Carrick stretched out his feet to steal, Suarez dunked the ball nimbly, then lowered his center of gravity and wiped past Carrick, sprinting past like a loach.

At this time, only Brown and O'Shea were left on the Manchester United back line.

Smalling just went up to participate in the corner kick attack, and he hasn't returned to the defense yet.

Suarez waded the ball forward diagonally, and he opened the distance between Brown and O'Shea.

When he was [-] yards away from the goal, Brown could no longer retreat. If he retreats again, Suarez is likely to pass the ball directly and break through!

So he immediately rushed to the front of Suarez diagonally. At this time, he wanted to have a one-on-one with Suarez, but Suarez didn't have time to pay attention to him at all. rushed through.

Before O'Shea pressed, Qin Xiong poked the ball towards Manchester United's penalty area with his toe.

Veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar directly abandoned the goal when he saw the bad situation, and Suarez seemed to have won a single-handed shot.

Just after he stopped the ball in the penalty area, Van der Sar rushed to less than two meters in front of him. The old Dutch goalkeeper didn't think about waiting for Suarez to shoot before making a save.

But he didn't expect that Suarez didn't shoot at all!

Instead, cross the ball again!

Van der Sar turned his head and looked in despair.

O'Shea pulled Qin Xiong's jersey behind Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong fell to the ground and tackled the ball directly into the empty goal of Manchester United! (To be continued~^~.)
