On the eve of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the FA Cup clash between Manchester United and Liverpool was an appetizer that caught the attention of fans around the world.

It was only a third-round FA Cup match, and fans were more focused on the performances of Alex Ferguson's nemesis Dalglish and Ballon d'Or candidate Gao Xiaodong than the game itself.

Gao Xiaodong entered the list of the last three candidates for the Golden Globe Awards this year, although he is not the biggest favorite, but because Iniesta and Xavi are in the same team, it may cause a diversion of votes, Gao Xiaodong's hope of winning the Golden Globe Award is not small, and it is definitely a big thing to be able to watch the future Mr. Golden Globe performance before the awards.

Although Dalglish has not coached again for 12 years, he has the upper hand in all competitions against Ferguson, with 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, in addition to Dalglish has won three league titles, 2 FA Cups and 2 Community Shield titles, far more than Ferguson, who has won nothing, and now Dalglish is out again, both Red Devils fans and Reds fans want to see what kind of sparks the two world-class coaches can collide.

On the night of the 9th, the Old Trafford stands were packed, even more lively than the league's double red meeting.

"The Red Army is finished! It's useless for Dalglish to go out of the mountains!"

"Dalglish is still very good. ”

"Dalglish is Liverpool's spiritual opium, in what age, what can that set of chicken blood things do. ”

"I am optimistic that the lord will teach the king of the Red Army to be a man. ”

"Now the Red Devils are strong and strong, what does the Red Army have, if you don't win more than three goals today, you won't win. ”

Tomorrow is the Golden Globe Awards, and it is auspicious to score a goal. ”

"Little Winter hat trick, it seems that the last double red meeting will stage a hat. ”

……

"We still have the strength, but the coach didn't find the right one, and the king is coming, I believe it will bottom out. ”

"The king is Ferguson's nemesis, and since he dares to go out of the mountain, he will definitely have a way to deal with Ferguson. ”

'It's good to get a draw and go back home to knock out Manchester United. ”

"I think it's very suspenseful, the king has just arrived, and it can't be immediate. ”

"There's a lot of chance of losing this one, but the process is more important than the result. ”

"Manchester United definitely want Gao Xiaodong to score, we have to stop Gao Xiaodong!"

"Losing can't make Gao Xiaodong score!"

……

Manchester United fans in the stands are talking hotly, because of the first leg of the season's double red meeting, Manchester United slaughtered Liverpool 7:2, this game Manchester United fans are very confident, and do not care that the Reds invited Ferguson nemesis Dalglish to coach, while Liverpool fans still have great illusions about Dalglish's coaching.

As the saying goes, changing the coach is like changing the knife, Dalglish is Liverpool's hero, spiritual leader, after he took office, Liverpool's mental outlook has improved a lot compared to the original, whether it is a young player or an old player, when he is on the pitch, he is full of fighting spirit.

When Dalglish came to the dugout, Ferguson took the initiative to shake his hand, "Kenny, I didn't expect to meet you again on the pitch." ”

Dalglish laughed, "yes, I didn't expect that, I thought we would meet at that racetrack or drinking party." ”

Ferguson said: "Good luck. ”

Dalglish smiled: "I hope to get off to a good start today." ”

Ferguson smiled faintly, "Every team dreams of winning here, but unfortunately none of them have achieved their goal this season. ”

Dalglish laughed: "Then talk on the court." With that, Dalglish walked back to his seat unhurriedly.

Looking at Dalglish's back, the smile on Ferguson's face gradually froze, he knew very well what kind of opponent this is, even if he has not set foot in football for 12 years, Dalglish still has a strong lethality, because he is a football genius.

The team flag and emblem exchanged on the pitch were Nemanja Vidic and Steven Gerrard.

Gary. Neville didn't get a chance to play, and Nemanjac now essentially took over as Neville's on-field captaincy.

Gerrard seemed a little scrappy today, and when he exchanged the team flag and emblem, and shook hands, he provoked Vidic and said: "Gary is retiring, behave better, man, I hope you will be the one who shakes my hand next time." ”

Vidic sneered, "It won't be any better, it's definitely not going to be bigger than the score in the last game." ”

This is a heart-piercing feeling, Gerald's face immediately darkened, and he sneered: "Wait, today we are going to break your undefeated golden body." ”

Vidic said, "Okay, we'll wait." ”

The captains of both sides returned to their respective halves, and with a whistle from referee Webb, the FA Cup double red meeting officially kicked off.

The first kick-off was Manchester United, after Berbatov and Rooney on the front line touched the ball, the ball was passed back to the feet of midfielder Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong received the ball sideways, passed the ball to full-back Evra, and then turned back to respond.

Patrice Evra passed the ball to Vidic, who then gave it to Gao Xiaodong, and by this time Liverpool striker Torres had come up to press.

Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball with his right foot, and wanted to make a feint to pull the ball to the right side and turn around, and then pulled the ball with his left foot, turned from the left side, and shook off the pressing Torres.

The action was so freehand and relaxed that the United fans in the stands couldn't help but applaud.

"Pretty to get rid of!"

"That's what a Golden Globe winner looks like!"

"It's very light, Gao Xiaodong has walked the technical flow!

"Xiao Dong, this is showing strength. ”

……

Gao Xiaodong heard the applause, but he was already used to it, and he was not affected, and after turning around, his eyes quickly caught the gap in Liverpool's defense.

At the start of the game, the distance between Liverpool's centre-backs and full-backs was slightly wider, and Berbatov was alert to run between centre-back Ager and full-backs.

Gao Xiaodong was ready to pass the ball when he saw the vacancy, and when he saw Berbatov running to this position, Gao Xiaodong secretly praised, lazy and lazy, the ball quotient of the dashing brother is really high.

Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate, and hit a long pass into the gap between the full-back and the central defender, looking for Berbatov.

When Berbatov was running, Ag saw it, and he chased after him, and full-back Kelly was also inside, trying to form a circle for Berbatov when Berbatov stopped the ball.

At this point, Berbatov showed his masterful stopping skills, he just glanced back at the ball, and he saw the spot, he jumped up, stopped the ball firmly on his thigh, and when he was ready to land, he stepped forward to get into the box when the defenders were closed.

Liverpool centre-back Ager knew something was wrong when he saw Berbatov jump up and stop the ball, and he accelerated to where Berbatov had landed, kicking the ball out just as Berbatov was about to play the ball.

As Berbatov was still rushing forward, he tripped on Ager's leg and fell into the penalty area.

"Foul!

"Stomp! Penalty!"

"Tripping foul!"

"Penalty Kick!"

……

Seeing Berbatov fall in the box, the United fans in the stands immediately jumped up and shouted to put pressure on referee Webb.

Martin, the commentator at the scene, also shouted: "This ball is suspected of a foul! Even if it touches the ball first, this is a stampede! Look at Webb's decision? The game is only 30 seconds, and I wonder if Webb has the guts to award a penalty." ”
