1342 A Cautious Derby

"The Champions League defending champion Liverpool's home game against Manchester United surprised us. Manchester United has always played fast-paced games, but today they chose a more conservative stance against Liverpool, which has a strong attacking firepower.

Liverpool is a world-renowned passionate team, but facing the semi-finals of the Champions League, they have also become cautious.

In the offensive and defensive confrontation, neither team created an excellent offensive opportunity. This time is more like a competition of endurance. Whoever can persevere and perfectly interpret their own offensive and defensive battles will have a chance to capture the opponent's attack. mistake.

This may be a game where whoever makes a mistake will lose. "

Seeing that the end of the first half was less than 10 minutes away, and Liverpool and Manchester United had very few chances to shoot, Qin Xiong decided to change his thinking.

In terms of overall offense and defense, both teams have done a good job, and Manchester United's defense is really impeccable.

It is impossible to gain the upper hand in the overall confrontation and defeat Manchester United.

At least at this stage, there is no such sign.

So now we can only deal with Manchester United with a point-and-shoot strategy!

In the 38th minute of the game, Hernandez failed to respond to Rooney's long pass in the frontcourt. Mascherano intercepted the ball and passed the ball to Baynes on the wing. The latter passed the ball on the wing. Straight to the front.

Meireles dribbled the ball sideways for two steps in front of Valencia, then swung it out of an angle and turned around halfway, and then passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong who was pulling the side in front of the penalty area.

The moment Qin Xiong led the ball, he kicked the ball to the bottom line, and then quickly started. His start caught Fabio by surprise.

Because Qin Xiong had already tried crossing from the side, but the effect was not good.

Raul couldn't find a chance between Ferdinand and Vidic.

But this time, Qin Xiong seemed to want to pass the ball into the penalty area by himself.

Fabio immediately returned to the defense to block Qin Xiong's possible passing route. He fell to the ground and shoveled in front of Qin Xiong. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiong stepped on the ball and pulled the ball in one go.He was just about to pass the ball into the penalty area again, but he didn't expect that Valencia had already returned to the defense.

Even though Manchester United's general idea is to defend against the point, but under the marking of key players, Qin Xiong must be the most valued!

Qin Xiong saw that Park Ji-sung had also retreated to the edge of the penalty area. If Qin Xiong went to break through Valencia, even if he succeeded, he would have to face Park Ji-sung.The difficulty of consecutive breakthroughs must have increased a lot, and if you want to break through Park Ji-sung again, you will be very close to Ferdinand!

As a result, Qin Xiong didn't have many choices.

He waded the ball back two steps and then made a lateral pass, which was intended to be delivered to Gerrard.

When Gerrard was about to take a long shot.Carrick stepped forward and knocked Gerrard away, obviously a blocking foul.

The referee's whistle blew.

Carrick fouled.

Liverpool is ready to set the ball to attack.

Qin Xiong walked to Gerrard's side, and suddenly whispered to him: "You play this ball."

Since Qin Xiong joined and Koeman took office, Qin Xiong was the team's first penalty shooter and free kick.

Gerrard is second.

In today's situation, it is necessary to create more unexpected offensive effects to tear through Manchester United's defense.

Qin Xiong and Gerrard stood in front of the ball together.After the referee blew his whistle, Qin Xiong ran up and the Manchester United players became nervous.

Especially the goalkeeper Van der Sar, he watched Qin Xiong run to the football and swing his legs to shoot!

But Qin Xiong missed it with one kick!

Of course, Qin Xiong did it on purpose.After kicking the ball, Qin Xiong moved two steps to the side to make way for the space. After he moved, Gerrard had already ran to the football and kicked it!

None of the Manchester United players thought that Qin Xiong would not shoot!

It's like Messi in Barcelona, ​​Ronaldo in Real Madrid.

It must be them who took the free kick, kicked and kicked.None of them will be blamed.

Qin Xiong, who is in a detached position in Liverpool, actually concedes a free kick!

And it is to make wedding dresses for teammates and provide cover.

This is a situation that cannot be seen at the Nou Camp and the Bernabeu.

The spirits of the Manchester United players have been tense, originally planning to wait for Qin Xiong's shocking blow.Unexpectedly, Qin Xiong made a feint, and Gerald was the real shooter.

Gerrard shot the ball around the wall with an arc.Because Manchester United's human wall was completely covered.

Only one or two people took off, and they were not firm.

The football went around the top of the wall of people, and they didn't react until the football flew over their heads!

In the process of belatedly taking off, they looked back towards the goal.

The Red Army fans in the stands are also paying attention to this free kick, feeling very hopeful!

Even Ferguson couldn't help standing up on the sidelines on the bench, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

I saw that the football that was about to fall into the goal was blocked by a wide palm!

Van der Sar!

"Liverpool finally played a free kick that scared Manchester United. It's a pity that the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar played bravely. After the first kick, he still reacted quickly to block the ball! This save is worth a thousand dollars!"

There were sighs of frustration from the Reds fans in the stands.

This goal is the most threatening attack played by Liverpool since the start of the game.

There was still some confusion in front of the Manchester United penalty area. The football was blocked by Van der Sar, and two Liverpool players rushed forward to prepare for a follow-up shot.

Meirelles and Raul!

But at the critical moment, Van der Sar punched the ball directly forward in the penalty area and touched the ball, which gave Evra the first chance to clear the siege.

Evra kicks the ball over the touchline.

The dangerous situation in the Manchester United penalty area was finally resolved!

Seeing that the first half came to an end, Ferguson stood up and gestured.

Obviously, as long as the 0:0 tie can be maintained in the first half, then the Red Devils Manchester United are completely acceptable.

And this will definitely hit Liverpool's morale, because Liverpool has gone so well this season!

Regardless of the league or the Champions League, they have hardly encountered any difficulties.

And the first half of this game poured cold water on Liverpool!

Liverpool is gaining momentum without scoring, and the positional battle they are proud of did not pose a threat and created an excellent opportunity.

After Ferguson's tactical instructions, Manchester United immediately began to shrink their formation and defend more resolutely. At the same time, they slowed down the rhythm of the game when they were in possession of the ball. While not giving Liverpool a chance to attack, they also slowed down Liverpool's rhythm.

Qin Xiong originally planned to concentrate on attacking Fabio again, but after Manchester United changed their game posture and tactics, it was difficult for Liverpool to get an offensive opportunity. Even if there was an offensive opportunity, it was difficult for the ball to reach Qin Xiong's feet because The Red Devils know very well that under such circumstances, Qin Xiong is the one who is most likely to inflict serious damage on the Red Devils!
