Chapter 148
At the same time!
On the field.
Standing on the penalty spot, Liverpool captain Gerrard calmly waited until the whistle ended, and then decisively attacked, running up, swinging his legs...
Finally, he used his right foot instep to hit the ball vigorously...
Bang!
After a muffled sound...
Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar reacted sharply at the first time, and rushed towards the direction where the football was flying.
It's just that Gerrard is recognized as an all-around midfielder in the Premier League.
He can play as a front midfielder or a wing defender, and participate in the attack with superb shooting skills.
He can also play as a back midfielder or even a central defender, and when the team's goal is in crisis, he can kick the ball away.
Therefore, his shot combines the characteristics of a forward and a defender, with a tricky angle and heavy force.
Van der Sar did make a timely save, but he was helpless because the opponent's shot was too fast and was heading for the dead corner at the bottom left of the goal.
As a result, they could only watch the ball pass through their fingertips, and then hit the net with a "swish".
"Yeah!!"
Seeing this, before the Manchester United players had time to get frustrated, more than 30,000 Reds fans at the scene immediately cheered wildly.
They waved the Liverpool banners and team logos, turning the stands of Anfield into a bright red sea of flowers again!
At this time, Gerrard was also very excited after scoring the goal.
He first jumped and hugged his teammates, then ran to the away team's stand and raised five fingers to the Red Devils fans and cameras.
"Hahaha, Gerrard's loyalty and perseverance to Liverpool make him always like a child, and he didn't forget to tease Manchester United after scoring a goal."
The commentator was a little too excited at this time, not caring about the feelings of Manchester United players and fans, and said bluntly:
"In the Wembley night in June this year, Manchester United was swept by the Barcelona team led by Guardiola with a score of '3-1' in the Champions League final!"
" Coincidentally, the day after Manchester United failed to lift the fourth Champions League trophy in team history was Gerrard's birthday. "
"However, we Liverpool have five Champions League trophies, so he used the method of holding up his open palm to "taunt" Manchester United for not winning the championship."
As a Liverpool legend, Benitez did not intend to save face for Manchester United at this time: "Yes, in the Champions League, Manchester United will never catch up with Liverpool!"
"Because, we Liverpool people can put the Champions League in the team's locker room as early as 2005 and treasure it forever!"
Speaking of this, his expression was full of pride:
"At the same time, we are also the first team in the 100-year history of the Premier League to win the Champions League five times! ! "
"As for whether Manchester United can follow closely and become the second Premier League team to achieve this feat..."
"If Ronaldo did not choose to go to Real Madrid and was willing to stay in Manchester United for ten years, Even retirement, there might still be hope. "
"However, Sir Ferguson, with his old and dim eyesight, paranoidly chose the 17-year-old Shenzhou boy Su Fan..."
After saying that, he shook his head, his expression full of sarcasm and disdain:
"Excuse me, let alone Shenzhou, even in the whole of Asia, the players' physique and physical fitness are naturally much weaker than those in Europe and the United States."
"The best they can do is to be like Park Ji-sung, who is also in Manchester United, and barely gain a foothold in the top European league by overdrawing their bodies."
"As for Su Fan, don't look at how beautiful he played in the past year. In fact, he is just like a meteor, and his peak period is only this year and a half."
"And this game is likely to be an important turning point for Su Fan's hot state to decline! ! "
As the two talked, the referee blew the whistle to resume the game.
After falling behind by one goal.
Manchester United players were obviously a little anxious.
Not only did they not slow down the pace, they also pressed forward aggressively, resulting in a series of passing errors.
If Sufan had not taken the initiative to retreat from the center position to the front midfielder to take care of defense.
The opponent is likely to be able to pass the ball directly to Suarez at the front point after a successful steal under the organization of Gerrard in the midfield, forming a counterattack.
"The two teams are basically playing an open game now."
Zhan Jun quickly analyzed the situation on the field and made a comment:
"Manchester United's side revolves around Sufan in the middle as the initiator of the attack, Rooney and Owen are on the wing, and Valencia and Giggs are responsible for interception and support."
"Ferdinand and Evra are in the midfield and backcourt, responsible for marking the opponent's forward."
"Liverpool's captain Gerrard is the initiator of the attack, and Lucas, Henderson and other four midfielders are pressing forward and actively fighting for the ball."
"Coatz and Shiktel partnered as central defenders,Be ready to assist in the area defense at any time, and prevent Su Fan and others from passing the ball in the air behind them. "
Zhang Lu agreed with a gloomy face:
"From the current situation on the field, although Manchester United's offensive has the upper hand, the price paid is that the players' physical fitness faces severe challenges. "
"You know, they are now playing in Liverpool's 'devil's home', and they must endure the fans' scolding and high-pitched singing at any time. "
"Just like Valencia's previous foul, it was because of the insulting words from the fans on the sidelines that they were dazed for a moment and caused serious mistakes. "
"So, I still think that Manchester United should learn from Barcelona's passing and control, slow down the rhythm first, strengthen the cooperation in the middle and front court, increase the ball possession rate, and then wait for an opportunity to attack. "
Before he finished speaking...
Rooney on the field may have been influenced by the home team's fans, and he and Lucas, who was responsible for marking him, deliberately stretched out his feet and blocked the opponent's running route during the frontcourt fight.
"Beep! "
The next moment, the referee ran over and decisively showed Rooney a yellow card.
"Oh, this foul shouldn't have happened."
Seeing this, Zhan Jun frowned and said angrily: "Through the slow-motion replay, you can clearly see that Rooney's kick was obviously aimed at someone."
"If the referee is more strict, he might have directly taken out a red card. It's really too reckless."
Zhang Lu sighed lightly: "I have to say that since Su Fan joined, Manchester United's games have been too smooth during this period."
"Even if we meet European powerhouses such as Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, we can win the game with Su Fan's outstanding performance."
"We have never lost in the Premier League league and cup before, and we played too smoothly."
"So when we came to Anfield to meet our 'mortal enemy' and fell behind in the score, our mentality became a problem. "
"In addition, Sufan, as the current core and spiritual leader of the team, is indeed a little young, which leads to the whole team's style of play being a little eager for quick success."
"If this continues, the direction of the game is not optimistic for Manchester United..."
On the court!
After Gerrard sent a free kick, midfielders such as Lucas and Henderson immediately pressed forward and continued to pass the ball with forwards Suarez and Carroll in the opponent's half.
And when the score was still one goal behind, Manchester United's players would certainly not watch their opponents pass the ball easily in their own half.
Soon, Sufan, Rooney, and Owen formed a "trident" on the front line, disrupting Carroll's Rolle and others responded in rhythm.
Then, Giggs and Valencia double-teamed Gerrard again, successfully getting ahead of the opponent and intercepting the ball that Suarez hastily passed back!
Then, Giggs made a long pass on the ground, which actually penetrated directly into the opponent's penalty area and landed at Sufan's feet!
At this moment, Sufan stopped the ball steadily, then turned around and faced the defender in his hands, while Owen and Rooney "flew on both wings", instantly forming a three-on-three situation!
"Attack! Attack! Attack!!!"
Seeing this, the Red Devils fans in the stands stood up excitedly, waving the Manchester United flag and shouting:
"Su Shen, go!"
"Rooney, go!"
"Owen, go!"
"Don't waste this fast break opportunity!!!"
