Chapter 774: The Red Army's Counterattack

Picking up the missed goal, Berbatov did not thank Gao Xiaodong and Rooney for creating the chance, he opened his arms and ran to the stands with crazy cheers.

The dashing Gobertitar can finally breathe a sigh of relief after scoring at the Double Red Match, and since he joined the Reds for £30.5 million, the striker has been criticised by demanding Red Devils fans since he joined the Reds for £30.5 million.

In his first season, the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year made 31 Premier League appearances but scored just nine goals. Such a dismal performance is seriously inconsistent with his value, many critics and Manchester United fans believe that this is another 30 million Mr. Ferguson introduced after Argentine midfielder Veron, and Beba's lazy style on the pitch has been ridiculed by Red Devils fans as "dashing brother".

Berbatov improved last season, but only scored 12 goals, and his lack of good performances in key games has led many fans to criticise him for not being worthy of the hard-boiled Red Devils.

With the arrival of Gao Xiaodong and striker Hernandez, Berbatov's position has become even more awkward, and if he does not perform aggressively, he risks becoming a fringe player for Manchester United.

Under pressure, the dashing brother broke out, scoring frequently this season, and now with his diligence, he scored a goal that almost sealed the victory in the Double Red Club.

Ferguson once again burst out of the dugout and cheered, pleasing to see a running Berbatov more than a goal.

Berbatov's talent is undoubted, which is why Ferguson gave up Gao Xiaodong to buy him, but Ferguson never expected Berbatov to be so lazy, and when he encountered a weak team, he was even less than a goalkeeper in a running distance.

This is intolerable to Ferguson, he talked to Berbatov several times, and also criticized him face-to-face, but the effect was very small, Ferguson even moved the idea of selling Berbatov, but did not expect that after the introduction of Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez, Berbatov's enthusiasm was mobilized, which gave Ferguson a surprise.

Now Ferguson's only regret is Rooney's form, after the transfer door and prostitution door, Rooney's form plummeted, Rooney scored 36 goals last season and was the team's top scorer, and now in five league games, a Champions League, and a Community Shield, Rooney has only scored two goals, including a penalty, which is really outrageous.

Rooney himself was even more regretful, and when Berbatov celebrated in a chic manner, Rooney was annoyed with Gao Xiaodong. "High, sorry to waste another pass on you. ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and patted Rooney's back, "It's okay, it's still early, I think it may be possible to play a big score today." ”

Rooney clenched his fists, "I won't waste it next time." ”

Martin, the on-site commentator, was a little stunned that the second goal came so quickly, "God, in less than 15 minutes, Manchester United has a two-goal lead, is this the rhythm of slaughter?

The Liverpudlians were stunned.

In the opening 15 minutes, they were already two goals down, a situation that the Liverpudlians had never seen before and that they absolutely could not accept.

Gerrard and Carragher were both red-eyed, and they yelled at each player, "Attack, run, never lose to Manchester United!"

Liverpool have just changed their manager, and there are many newcomers, and the team has not performed well since the start of the season, and they will also hope to play at a high level in such a strong dialogue to help them win or consolidate their main position.

After falling behind by two goals, Liverpool's players were in a hurry, and after kick-off, they took a desperate stance against Manchester United.

Everyone was running wildly, and the golden boy Torres also became a B2B striker, pushing into the Manchester United penalty area in front and back to his own penalty area.

United were a little slackened after scoring two goals, and in the 20th minute, Nani tried to get past Koncheski, was tackled by Gerrard from behind, and then immediately turned and passed the ball to Joe Cole to launch a counter-attack.

Steven Gerrard ran down the flanks to draw the attention of United's defence, and Joe Cole slid in quickly down the middle.

After the two men combined two consecutive passes, the ball returned to the feet of Joe Cole, at which point the Spanish golden boy Torres suddenly cut diagonally from the middle to the right side of the penalty area.

Joe Cole is one of the few players in Liverpool's squad with the ability to play through balls, and as soon as Torres activated, he immediately fired a through ball into the box.

Torres ran right behind centre-back Evans, and Vidic couldn't keep up with him, with Evans turning quickly and chasing after him, ready to block his shot.

However, Torres was like a dragon in the box, he didn't rush to shoot, and when Evans was almost there, he suddenly kicked the ball back.

This smash is deadly, as long as Evans is dunked, Torres can face goalkeeper Van der Sar directly to shoot.

Evans had no choice but to make a tackle and reach out to tackle Torres.

Referee Webb did not hesitate, blew the whistle, pulled out the card, and pointed to the penalty spot.

Evans shook his head and was speechless, he had no choice but to complain about this foul, if he wanted to complain, he could only blame Gao Xiaodong and Scholes in the midfield for coming back too slowly, and did not interfere with Joe Cole, even if Joe Cole passed the ball slowly, Evans did not need to foul.

But Gao Xiaodong and Scholes are also very wronged, they have just tried their best to defend, but no matter how fast they run, they can't run as fast as the ball, they can only watch Joe Cole pass the ball.

Commentator Martin said that Evans couldn't help the ball, Joe Cole passed too well, and the reason why Joe Cole was able to pass the ball easily was that their counterattack was too sharp and did not give Manchester United time to return to defense. And the root of the mistake was that Nani's dribble was tackled, and after 2-0, Nani drifted a little, and he could handle the ball a little more securely, such as passing.

Liverpool's first penalty taker was Steven Gerrard, and of course the penalty that affected the course of the game could only be taken by Gerrard.

Facing Van der Sar, Gerrard pushed the bottom right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot, Van der Sar misjudged the direction, and the ball flew into the net without any suspense.

1:2

Taking advantage of Manchester United's mistake, Liverpool pulled back a point, and the world-renowned double red meeting immediately became suspenseful again.

The Liverpool fans were excited, although they were not many in number, but they were united and not weak, and after Gerrard's goal, they sang the team song "Never Walk Alone" together, encouraging the Reds to fight back.

The United players were awakened by Liverpool's counter-attack, and they immediately launched an equally powerful press in midfield to snatch the ball again.

However, after Liverpool pulled a goal back, the momentum came up, and the luck also came up, and in the 25th minute of the game, Melle Leesla, who was a striker, took Gao Xiaodong away and gave up the position in the middle to Gerrard.

Berbatov's return defense was just a harassment of Gerrard before giving up, only Scholes chased after Gerrard.

Gerrard made a quick stop to get rid of Paul Scholes, who was following him, and immediately passed the ball to Paulsen, who was with him.

Rooney followed Poulson back to the defense, but Poulsen didn't stop the ball, kicked the ball, and made a one-two combination with Gerrard.

Gerrard, who was younger and quicker, accelerated again and got rid of Paul Scholes and headed straight into the middle of the box.

Gao Xiaodong was worried that Gerrard would shoot from a distance or directly hit the backline, so he didn't dare to follow Meleles anymore, so he could only rush back to the middle to help defend.

Gerrard saw that Gao Xiaodong was too quick to make up for the defense, he gave up attacking the penalty area and crossed to Meleles.

Meleles can play as a midfielder, and his passing ability and awareness are certainly not weak, and he immediately crosses diagonally into the space between Evans and full-back Patrice Evra before receiving the ball.

Torres was alert enough to start when Meleles received the ball, and when Meleles passed, he immediately accelerated behind Evans.

After Evans received a yellow card, it was Vidic who was the target for Torres.

However, Vidic's speed and Torres are incomparable, as soon as Torres starts, Vidic has no choice but to make a tactical foul and reach out and drag Torres down.

Beep!

Referee Webb's whistle blew again, and he drew a yellow card to Vidic and awarded Liverpool a free-kick at the top of the box.
