In fact, both the wingers, Babbel and Benayoun, are dropping back, only without Gerrard, who has completely dropped a notch in midfield hardness. They could barely rely on numbers to fight Manchester United, and after Benitez's change of formation, they had not been able to form a threatening attack for seven or eight minutes.

It wasn't until the 55th minute of the game that Wu Sanshi forced the ball to miss and swiped a shot on goal.

'Kuyt didn't see the problem when he was on the pitch, but when he came off the pitch, the United players immediately became relaxed when they got the ball, and Suarez was stronger in organization and attack, but now he doesn't have the ball and he can't play.

"The best candidate for this position is Gerrard, he is not the strongest in attack or defense, but he can do well, not to mention his long-range shots from the edge of the penalty area are also very intimidating. His injury today has had too much impact on Liverpool. ”

'Hopefully Benitez can find a better way, we don't want to see a one-sided game.'

With a two-goal lead, United played very solidly and were not in a hurry to attack.

Benitez finally couldn't help it anymore and took advantage of the dead-ball opportunity to call Mascherano to the sidelines, "stepping up the front court pressing." ”

The tactic of pressing in the front court is also a very extreme tactic, which can often make mistakes in the opponent's harassment and quickly launch a counterattack, of course, there is also a bad side, players are easy to lose their position, expose the gap behind their bodies, and it is also a severe test of physical fitness.

Giggs retreated to get the ball in the middle of the left side, but before he was completely stable, Glenn Johnson and Mascherano came up, and the two worked together tacitly, one stuck in position, and the other stabbed in the back, and Giggs lost the ball.

Players from both sides quickly went up and scrambled.

Paul Scholes and Suarez got the ball almost at the same time, both of them worked hard and defended equally badly, but at this point, defensive skills are secondary.

Neither of them closed their feet,

Bang!

Their feet were on the ball almost at the same time, and even the fans sitting in the stands could hear a loud muffled sound.

Then, both fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

"Are you alright, Luis?"

"Of course it's fine."

Suarez got up from the ground, but his right leg trembled slightly, definitely not as easy as he said.

Scholes wasn't much better.

When the game resumed, the battle between the two sides in midfield became more intense, and in the blink of an eye, the ball might change hands, but fortunately they were careful to control the scale and did not cause problems for Clattenburg.

'Manchester United have also stepped up their pressing, and it seems that Ferguson doesn't want to be too conservative.

"The lead should pay more attention to the control of the midfield, the opponent has no way to pass through the midfield, naturally there is no way to enter the penalty area, especially against a team like Liverpool, you can't give them a chance."

'The good thing is that Liverpool's midfield has a good ability to carry the ball, and the lack of defence can be made up for by numbers, but we haven't seen a quality attack in a long time.

"Fans won't like this kind of wrestling match, but it's very intense, it's a battle of wills between two teams."

"Stone hasn't had a chance to show his face for half a day, presumably he is already waiting impatiently in the penalty area."

Beep

Carrick also received a yellow card.

Just now, Suarez's inverted triangle passed back to Mascherano, and Carrick, who was dragging his will, actually ran to the front, at this time Manchester United's formation was a little forward, so he deliberately fouled in the front court to block Liverpool's counterattack, which is a tactical foul, and a yellow card is not a loss.

In normal times, a foul of this level in the Premier League will not be carded at all.

However, before today's game, the referee was instructed that the Premier League must maintain a good and healthy image in front of fans around the world, although the essence of football is the blood and hard work, but there are many fans who will be disgusted with the barbaric game, and the Premier League, which is determined to occupy the broadcast market, must of course pay attention to image management.

'Anfield must have missed their captain immensely, Gerrard's absence has been too big a factor, they simply can't get through midfield at the moment, I'm sure Ferguson will be happy with the performance of the players, but it's not good news for Liverpool.'

"Stone only had two touches of the ball after switching to the middle, which speaks volumes, their attack was hampered, and although going to the middle allowed him to get rid of Park's entanglement, it also gave him less chance to take the ball and attack the opposition box."

'Benitez is a bit of a no-brainer, and he has to make adjustments as soon as possible.'

The Chinese fan forum has long been scolded,

"Benitez will not arrange the line-up, I will be better than him, FM I can play all the way from the North and South League to the Champions League three times in a row."

"You're not as good as me, I've played for more than 100 seasons and been a champion every season."

"Bragging!"

"I have a screenshot!"

“......”

As the backstabber, Benitez may have sensed something and finally made a gesture, and Liverpool's formation changed again.

A few more minutes into the game, Mortensen saw the doorway, "He finally changed back to 442, I have always felt that Liverpool's configuration cannot meet the needs of 433, although in Italy they performed okay, but Fiorentina and Manchester United are not at all the same team." ”

Switching back to a familiar formation, Liverpool's performance has indeed risen to a new level, and the performance in midfield is not as chaotic as it was just now.

In the 69th minute, Benayoun got rid of the back cross on the right side continuously, Vidic pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and the retreating Wu Sanshi got the ball for the first time, and was then pushed to the ground by Carrick, and Liverpool got a set-piece opportunity in front.

Unfortunately, United's air defense was too strong, and this indirect free-kick did not pose much of a threat to Manchester United.

A minute later, United returned the colours, as if the years had not left any mark on Ryan Giggs, and his performance on the left was reminiscent of the FA Cup game against Arsenal, when he cut inside the box with his pace to eat Glen Johnson raw and shook off Carragher again, but his powerful left-footed shot was too far into Reina's arms.

"The two veterans of Ryan Giggs and Scholes were equally good today, and of course the best performer was Berbatov, although he and Stone have disappeared in this time, but we all know that if there is a little chance, these brilliant killers will definitely change the score again."

"In comparison, Liverpool's two wingers were very average, especially Babel who came off the bench, if I didn't think about who replaced Kuyt, I wouldn't remember him playing, an old guy is better than him."

Alan Hansen has reason to complain about Babbel, this junior is too weak, completely evaporated from the world, this is a game related to whether he will run naked or not, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battle of dignity.

As soon as his words fell, Babbel took the ball on the left side, as if he heard his words, also on the left side, he received the ball near the middle line on the left side, and a ball was divided to temporarily shake off Park Ji-sung and stride forward, and suddenly a sharp stop shook off Park Ji-sung again, and directly crossed at a 45-degree angle.

"Clever!"

Unfortunately, Wu Sanshi and Suarez failed to make a little wave in front of Manchester United's centre-back combination, and this time the cross was easily cleared, and Benayoun, who ran to the landing point in advance, took Van der Sar off guard with a non-stop volley.

Duang！

"It's a pity, the doorpost!"

The ball bounced out, Suarez took the ball and turned his back to Vidic for the first time, and the Serbian central defender was yellow carded and in the penalty area, unable to let go.

In the blink of an eye, Suarez slammed the ball with his heel towards Wu Sanshi on the left.

"It's gone, Ferdinand won't let Stone shoot."

Alan Hansen didn't guess right after all, Wu Sanshi, who was also on his back, stretched out his foot and lightly paddled it, and the ball rushed to the right side again, two over one in the penalty area!

Suarez, who shook off Vidic, suddenly appeared in front of the goal, and poked the ball with his toe through two goals in an instant, the Manchester United goal and the Van der Sar goal! “goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal！！！”

“goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal！！！”

“goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal！！！”

Suppressed for too long, Alan Hansen's sudden outburst startled Mortenson, and he immediately said that he admired this passionate behavior.

'It's a perfect combination of inspiration and chemistry, with Luis Suarez and Stone playing with the best centre-back duo in the world with their two feet, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic in the box at the same time this season, United haven't conceded a goal in the open but they've broken it all now.

"With nearly 15 minutes to go, the suspense is rekindled, and I believe that neutral fans will be happy to see such a scene."

Suarez subconsciously wanted to celebrate, but when he saw Wu Sanshi running into the goal to catch the ball, he immediately stopped his actions and ran back to the midfield to kick off, Anfield fans were emotional and kept shouting the names of the two of them, but in front of Manchester United's coach's box, Ferguson's face was so black that he could drip.

If it is understandable that Vidic is because of the yellow card, then Ferdinand deserves to die, this defender who is perfect in terms of size, technical ability and speed has a fatal flaw, that is, he often loses concentration in the game, and there is no doubt that he was distracted just now, otherwise Wu Sanshi would not have been able to pass the ball back.

"Leo, be careful with me!"

Don't look at Ferguson's age, his voice is not small at all, Rio Ferdinand in the Manchester United penalty area hurriedly patted his chest in the direction of the coach's box, indicating that he would look at him next.

In the 77th minute, Benayoun took the ball and kicked it to Patrice Evra for a throw-in.

Glen Johnson threw the ball out of bounds, Lucas received the ball and passed to Benayoun, and Benayoun gave it to Glen Johnson's feet, this time Glen Johnson directly kicked and passed to the back point, Suarez actually succeeded in fighting for the top, but his top position was not the goal, but the middle of the ferry, Wu Sanshi, who disappeared just now, suddenly plugged in, so that Ferguson saw the corner of his eye.

"Stop him!!"

Hearing the coach's shout, Vidic knew that it was going to be bad, and he immediately pounced on Wu Sanshi, and a stumbling foot directly pushed Wu Sanshi.

quiet

The whole audience was stupid, did Vidic take QB?

Without any hesitation, Clattenburg pointed straight to 12 yards.

As long as this penalty is scored, Liverpool will be able to equalize!
