Chapter 232: Freeze Giggs

"Alright, the game has finally begun!"

After Zhan Jun finished reciting a history of the Double Red Cross, the staff at Old Trafford also cleaned it up.

Referee Karl didn't want to make any more trouble, and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"Manchester United kicked off first, and Liverpool took the initiative to press and actively scramble."

"Postback, backhaul..."

'Successive passes, Liverpool's opening tactics looked proactive.

"Long pass. The ball came to Scholes. ”

"Finnan..."

"Huh! Finnan tackles Scholes! ”

In Zhan Jun's slightly surprised voice, Scholes was tackled by Finnan with the ball. The man rolled twice on the ground, and the ball rolled straight out of bounds.

The referee just blew the whistle for a throw-in, didn't even glance at Scholes on the ground, and didn't even bother to come to Finnan's side to give him a verbal warning.

Scholes didn't complain anything, but quickly got up, took the ball thrown by the caddy, and quickly threw it.

However, as soon as the ball hit Keane's chest, the old Manchester United captain immediately leaned forward and almost fell to the ground.

Beep!

The whistle blew again.

Behind Keane was Gerald's innocent face.

Less than a minute into the game, two United players were fouled and fell to the ground in a row. But judging from the situation on the spot, this is more like a commonplace.

The physical confrontation in the Premier League is already fierce, not to mention that this is still a double red club. As long as it is not a particularly serious malicious foul, the referee will almost ignore it.

And until now, Manchester United has always won the ball, and after the ball came to Liverpool, the physical contact command given by Manchester United players became more violent.

'United won a free-kick on the right, it was a bit away from goal, and Ryan Giggs should have opted for a cross. Zhan Jun helped his glasses and analyzed.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of Zhan and Huang, Giggs used his right foot to pocket the ball into the penalty area. The ball began to spin outwards as it flew to the line of the six-yard box and United clearly had a set-piece in place.

But Tang Wu doesn't care about this, since he can't catch the ball, he will destroy it!

Three steps and two steps, Tang Wu quickly ran forward and stretched out a single fist at the ball in the air away from him.

"Boom!"

After the ball spinning in the air was hit by Tang Wu's suddenly outstretched fist, it quickly changed direction and flew towards the outside of the penalty area.

A group of Liverpool players led by Gerrard ran out without saying a word, and after more than ten days of contact, they knew very well how "terrible" Tang Wu's single punch was.

According to the statistics of the Liverpool team medical team, Tang Wu's dynamic vision in the team is the best. And in his role as a goalkeeper, there is also a weekly part of the practice of dynamic vision.

Coupled with Tang Wu's arm strength and control of his body, as long as Tang Wu wants to clear the high-altitude ball with one fist, the landing point of the ball will basically be near the midline.

In this way, under the requirement of only "clearing the siege", the ball flew over a distance of several tens of meters and smashed on the center line on the left side of the center circle.

Brown hurriedly chased back, and according to his judgment, if he didn't chase it, the ball would roll to a few meters before it rolled out of bounds. And here, it is the "white space" between the defender and the goalkeeper. In other words, it takes a lot of effort for both the defender and the goalkeeper to get here.

Seeing that the ball was completely cleared, Bei Bald breathed a sigh of relief.

He still regretted it a little when Tang Wu "provoked" the home team's fans to eat cards, for fear that Tang Wu would lose his usual calm in the environment of the Double Red Cross.

Tang Wu is a goalkeeper!

Anyone on the court can go crazy, but Tang Wu can't!

Bei Bald doesn't want the madman Ikita to be his main goalkeeper!

Now seeing that Tang Wu broke the siege so decisively, Bei Bald wiped the sweat on his forehead. As long as Tang Wu is in the groove, even if this game is just "playing normally", he will be thankful.

After all, this is Old Trafford, home of Manchester United.

After Brown had the ball at his feet, Cisse was already running not far from him.

At the beginning of the game, the physical strength of the players on both sides was still very strong. Liverpool have yet to get the ball, and it looks like it will continue for some time to press so high.

The United players were also quick to drop back, with Rio Ferdinand, who had just been released from his 'imprisonment', running back into his own half to receive a pass from Brown.

Three passes and two downs, the ball came to the feet of Xiao Xiao Luo.

Xiao Xiao Luo, who touched the ball for the first time, was obviously very excited, suddenly accelerated with the ball, and changed lines in succession past four defenders. With a cold arrow at a distance of 27 meters in front of the goal, Tang Wu struggled to stretch his body, but the ball still passed through his fingertips.

Boom!

The ball hit the billboard behind the goal and flew backwards again.

'It was United's first shot on goal and if it was a little bit more in, it could have been a goal. Huang Jianxiang explained, "If this goal is scored, then Liverpool will be difficult in the next game. ”

"But Xiao Xiaoluo's shot is very beautiful, and the power and angle are there, but it is a little off."

"If he can still hit such a shot in the next game, then Tang Wu's goal will be dangerous."

"That's right, especially if it's still raining lightly today." Zhan Jun echoed, "The rain will not only obstruct Tang Wu's vision, but also make it more difficult for Tang Wu to make the rescue. I hope Xiao Xiaoluo's kick just now is blind. ”

In the exclamation of thousands of fans, Tang Wu got up from the ground and patted the grass clippings and rain on his body.

He had completely stretched his body for the ball just now, and even if the shot was a little inside, it would have been blocked by his hand. The difference is between a Manchester United corner and a Liverpool goal.

Ronaldo's shot completely boosted the morale of Manchester United, and Liverpool were once again tackled by their opponents not long after they won the ball.

In the 7th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy burst into the box and was grabbed by Hyypia's collar, but he still steadied himself and raised his foot to shoot.

Tang Wu fell sideways to save the ball, and then United called for a penalty, but referee Karl ignored it.

In his opinion, if Ruud van Nistelrooy had fallen to the ground while being pulled, he might have given Liverpool a capital punishment. But now, Vanney reacted too late.

In the ninth minute, Hyypia fell to the ground and hooked Scholes with his foot, and Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs were both standing in front of the ball, ready to take the free-kick.

After the players on both sides stood still, Xiao Xiaoluo took the lead to run. But his feints didn't interfere with the wall and Tang Wu behind him, and Giggs had no choice but to fly his left foot and pocket the ball backwards.

Sylvestre had been waiting here for a long time, struggling to break free of Josemi's defence before leaping forward and using his forehead to reach the ball in the air.

Seeing that the ball falling from the sky was about to fall on his forehead, but at this time, there was suddenly an extra pair of hands, a pair of hands with eleven fingers.

"Smack!"

Tang Wu's two thumbs were close together, his hands were opened at one hundred and twenty degrees, and he accurately caught the ball in his hands.

After landing in the crowd, Tang Wu quickly tripped over the legs of the others, and Tang Wu fell to the ground, holding the ball to his chest.

When to protect the ball, when to attack quickly, this point is still judged by Tang Wu.

At this stage, it is time to play a good defense first, and when Manchester United's offensive momentum is exhausted, it is the time for the Reds to counterattack.

What Tang Wu has to do now is to firmly guard the goal, and then slowly consume the opponent's physical strength.

"Tang Wu is beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang did not hesitate to praise Tang Wu.

For a goalkeeper, Zhan and Huang want to introduce the scene when Tang Wu touches the ball to the fans. Otherwise, when Manchester United really breaks through Liverpool's goal, domestic fans may still think that Tang Wu is "eating white rice".

Therefore, Zhan and Huang have to do a good job of foreshadowing in advance, so that they can "clear their innocence" for Tang Wu after the away team concedes a goal.

"Boom!"

Tang Wu drove the ball forward with a big kick, and Gerrard and Heinze battled for the spot on the edge of the United penalty area.

More than ten minutes have passed since the game, and the plan to grab points at the beginning has not been successfully implemented, which makes the old man a little disappointed.

"Parry, how many crosses have we had so far?" The old gentleman asked with his hands behind his back and his head untwisted.

The assistant coach on the side hurriedly looked through the notebook, "Coach, counting set-pieces and corners, we have a total of 7 crosses." ”

"How many times did Ryan pass that?" The old gentleman asked again.

"Ryan..."The assistant coach hesitated, although he knew the answer, he couldn't help but think about the meaning of the coach's question.

"Ryan passed it 6 times." Parry was honest.

"What a cunning bald man!" The old man turned his head for the first time and looked at Bei Bald on the other side, "It seems that he studied our cross very well before the game!" ”

Some media said that whoever mastered the set-piece won the double red club.

In recent years, crosses from set-pieces have been the scoring tool of the Reds.

One is because the defender does not dare to move too much in the penalty area, and the other is that with the confrontation of the double red club, it is easy to get a free kick or corner kick in the front court.

But so far in the game, Giggs's six-legged cross has been resolved by Tang Wu, and the players who have earned the top have not even touched Mao, and the old man has to suspect that this is arranged by Bei Bald in advance.

If the whole game goes according to this flow, Liverpool, who have adapted to it, will be the first to break through the door of Manchester United sooner or later. In that case, the consequences are irreversible.

"Coach, Cristiano has been excellent so far, and he has been very active on both ends of the floor...", according to the old man's questions and feelings, Parry tentatively expressed his judgment.

"Yes, you can." The old gentleman nodded, "It's time for that kid to inject some vitality into Manchester United, otherwise others will think Manchester United is muddy!" ”
