1123 Bad Omen
The rest of the updates today may be late, please forgive me.
Manchester United players finally received a yellow card in the 39th minute of the game.
Fletcher obviously pulled Qin Xiong who was about to break through him during a press. The referee could no longer tolerate the blatant foul by Manchester United players. He had warned him before, but now he would take out a yellow card to punish the opponent.
Qin Xiong took the free kick thirty-five yards away from the goal.
His leaf-falling ball hit the goal and bypassed the wall, but after it fell, it was saved by Van der Sar.
This made Liverpool fans sigh in disappointment, and then there was applause. Manchester United fans also praised Van der Sar's brave swing in front of the goal.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Valencia dribbled the ball on the right. After encountering Aurelio, he knocked the ball in the middle. Then Carrick, who followed up, made a straight pass.
Rooney suddenly stopped suddenly while running in the penalty area in a diagonal direction. After stopping the ball, he took two steps horizontally, shook Carragher, who had no time to transfer his center of gravity, and then pushed and shot with his left foot.
Since his left foot is not Rooney's usual foot, his shooting angle is accurate, so it is difficult to force.
This shot was indeed tricky, but the ball was slow, which gave Renner plenty of time to react. Renner came to the left post in time to put the ball in his arms.
Before the end of the first half, Liverpool made the final blow.
Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally in the middle to the right. Kuyt stepped forward and stopped the ball and then turned into the inside. After attracting Carrick's defensive attention, he pushed the ball diagonally to Gerald behind Carrick.
Gerrard watched Evra enter the penalty area to form a joint defense with Vidic. Torres restrained Ferdinand and Vidic. Gerrard paused when the dribble was in a hurry and made a move to pass the ball to Torres. Evra paid more attention to the protection of the middle. Gerrard took the ball to the front right and took a step forward, shook the shooting angle and then shot hard!
The ball was so powerful that it was so powerful that goalkeeper Van der Sar tried his best to block the near corner of the goal, but the football ball was too fast. When Van der Sar was already feeling desperate, the sound of the football hitting the post was like a natural sound that made Van der Sar feel like escaping from death.
"Gerard's shot hit the post and bounced out of the baseline! This is a very good opportunity for Liverpool, but unfortunately he was turned away by Manchester United's goal post. Gerrard shouted in great annoyance, and the captain of the Reds almost helped the team to reverse in the first half."
At the end of the first half, Liverpool and Manchester United tied 1:1 at Old Trafford, and the players of both teams walked towards the player channel and made adjustments to the intermission.
When we arrived in the locker room, Koeman emphasized the team's defense and asked the whole team to strengthen their running. We could not be destroyed by Manchester United with their physical fitness away!
Qin Xiong was thinking in silence how to adjust his offense in the second half. Manchester United's defense today can be said to be very good, especially his defense is close to perfection.
The second half ended in the court, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The enthusiasm of the fans in the Old Trafford stands remains unabated, and the draw allows fans on both sides to see hope for victory.
At the beginning of the second half, Qin Xiong first arrived on the wing. He received Gerald's pass and then headed straight to the bottom line.
Neville was very serious in the defense of the wing. Qin Xiong went to the outside line in front of him to use the extra points to start a breakthrough. Neville turned around and immediately followed, blocking Qin Xiong's line of wading inward or crossing.
Qin Xiong buckled the ball in front of the bottom line and then passed it horizontally in two steps.
Gerald got rid of Carrick's side and penetrated into the penalty area. After Qin Xiong's ball came over, Gerald dribbled the ball and directly entered the penalty area.
With Torres as a cover, Gerald entered the penalty area diagonally and was almost unobstructed, but he had to use his left foot to complete the shot to complete the goal. The football shot from his left foot was almost unthreatening, and he directly sent the ball into Van der Sar's arms.
Qin Xiong shouted a few words to Alonso when he retreated to the backcourt. He hoped Alonso could get forward more!
In fact, this is also the place where Fleet Street has always criticized Alonso.
Alonso rarely appears in the offensive dangerous areas in front of the penalty area. He completes organizational connections well and plays a role in connecting the offensive and defensive systems. However, he still makes little contribution to the last part of the offensive.
Today, Manchester United plays on the wing, Liverpool is under less pressure in the middle, and Alonso should be able to be released. He must step forward to participate in the offense. Further alleviate Qin Xiong's pressure and give Gerald more room to swing.
Alonso heard Qin Xiong's voice and gestures, and nodded to Qin Xiong and responded.
In the 54th minute of the game, Manchester United made a fast attack. Carrick passed the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Park Ji-sung responded with his back in the middle of the frontcourt. He trolled the ball horizontally and dodged Alonso's press and passed the ball diagonally to the right.
Valencia, who assisted with lightning, made a pass without stopping.
The football landed very well. Rooney scored a header in the penalty area. Carragher interfered with him, forcing Rooney to finally head the ball after taking off and his center of gravity was unstable. The header almost turned into a circumference. The football flew high over the crossbar.
After landing, Rooney turned around and ran to the referee and roared, complaining that Carragher had committed a foul on him after the jump, but the referee turned a deaf ear to him.
Liverpool also launched a fast break two minutes later. Alonso and Johnson passed each other forward and stepped forward. Kuyt passed the ball across the middle to Gerald after receiving Alonso's pass.
Gerald did not drive the ball forward, but instead passed the ball to Alonso who was inserted in the back.
At this time, Manchester United's defense in the middle of the backcourt was a little panicked. Carrick moved to block Alonso, and Neville also moved to the front of the penalty area to prepare to block Gerald's diagonal insertion.
At this time, Qin Xiong got rid of Valencia's Necrocut middle, and Alonso passed the ball to Qin Xiong who ran over from behind when he encountered Carrick.
When Qin Xiong was just dribbling the ball and preparing to strode into the penalty area, Evra's fierce tackle came unexpectedly.
In order to dodge the opponent's tackle, Qin Xiong first picked up the ball, and then bounced himself to cross Evra, but Evra's right leg raised up and hooked Qin Xiong's foot in the air, causing Qin Xiong to lose his balance when he landed on the ground and fell to the ground.
When Qin Xiong rolled on the ground, the referee's whistle sounded again.
The selfless referee walked straight to Evra and showed a yellow card without mercy.
Evra tried her best to defend her behavior just now, but the referee ignored it and recorded that he was carrying a yellow card.
Anyone can see that Manchester United can now curb Liverpool's offensive mainly by relying on foul tactics.
But more and more Manchester United players are starting to take cards, which is not a good sign. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
