Chapter 308: Don't Fight

() Will Morrow score?

When did Morrow score?

How many can Moreau get into?

With strong expectations for new signings, KOPs flocked to Anfield en masse to watch the 168th 'Red Derby' and the 168th England National Derby.

Liverpool players wore shirts emblazoned with their iconic slogan "You'll never walk alone" in solidarity with the victims of the tsunami in Southeast Asia.

Spanish striker Morientes registered in time and Baros returned from injury, with coach Rafael Benitez fielding the most popular Moba striker pairing. Manuel Pellegrino, another winter signing, was also given a chance to start in England in place of Finnan with a thigh injury.

For Moreau, eight years of white pride at the Bernabeu have not cooled, and the Spanish striker's ambition has been ignited by the fire of KOP passion, and he is desperate to see the Red Devils as a welcome gift to Anfield.

Moreau, who played for Real Madrid four times in 2000 and 2003, was looking forward to an exciting debut while still in the medical exam: "I couldn't have asked for more from the first Premier League game. In the pre-match interview, the Spaniard also had a sense of humor: "I want to learn English as soon as possible in order to keep Gerrard." ”

Everyone knows that Steven Gerrard has always been the Premier League player that the old man wants to buy the most, even if there has been no transfer between Liverpool and Manchester United for 40 years.

The Reds welcomed the reinforcements from the Moreau line of fire, with Benitez exclaiming before the game: "I have a hunch that Moreau will become a legend for the Reds..."

Captain Steven Gerrard also said: "With the current state of the team, Morrow is exactly the kind of striker the team needs. ”

Even Baros praised his partner: "It's wonderful to bring in Moreau, he's great with his feet and headers, and I'm looking forward to working with a team-mate like that!" ”

There is another reason why Reds fans expect Moreau to beat Manchester United on his debut at Anfield, and that is that Moreau also has a habit of scoring goals on his debut.

Prior to that, Moro had scored in his opening game for Albacete, Zaragoza, Spain Under-18s, Spain Under-20s and Spain national team. Especially when he represented the Spanish national team for the first time in the match against Sweden, he scored two goals in the first five minutes.

Even Owen is optimistic about Moreau's first experience in the Premier League, "Breaking the door against Manchester United on his debut would be a good start, so that the Reds fans will love him more and he will integrate into the team at a faster pace." ”

In this game, Morrow, who wore the No. 19 shirt, did not forget to give fans a smile during the warm-up. The 19 symbolizes the No. 9 at Real Madrid and the No. 10 at Monaco, and Bei Bald joked before the game: "I wish he could score 19 goals every season!" ”

Liverpool, who had the advantage of being at home, took the initiative on the pitch and had a good chance to volley in the opening eight minutes, but it was difficult to get the ball on target.

The Red Devils' Rio Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy are all sidelined through injury, with the old man deploying five in midfield, leaving only French striker Saha up front. Although Carroll's low-level mistake against Tottenham didn't cause a big deal due to a referee's misjudgment, he still secured a starting spot.

In almost five years of fighting, the two teams have never played a draw. This also means that the two sides are destined to fight to the death.

With this being Liverpool's home turf, United didn't play a decent attack until the 19th minute.

Ronaldo broke through on the left flank and looked down for an opportunity to sweep the ball down the middle.

Tang Wu's hand was scrambled, and he quickly fell to the ground, stretched out his arm, and single-handedly touched the ball with one step. At the same time as hitting the ball, a cool breeze blew behind Tang Wu's head, and Rooney's shoe spikes grazed Tang Wu's scalp and slid on Tang Wu's back.

Lu Xiaopang didn't close his feet in time!

"Hey! What are you doing! Tang Wu stood up and pushed Rooney's right shoulder hard. Lu Xiaopang's body was strong and sturdy, and he was just a stumbling stumbling after being pushed by Tang Wu.

"What do you say I'm doing?" Lu Xiaopang, who was pushed, was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately stepped forward to be with Tang Wuding.

Tang Wu, who was one meter **, stared condescendingly at Rooney, who was seven or eight meters tall, and the two of them put their foreheads together, glaring at each other disapprovingly.

"Beep, beep!"

The referee hurriedly blew the whistle in his mouth, urging the players on both sides to pull away from each other quickly.

"You kid give me attention, if you kick like this again, be careful that I break your legs!" Tang Wu threatened.

3000w sir?

The king of transfer bids?

England's youngest ultra-confidence?

Fuck off!

This is Anfield, and you can't afford a Manchester United striker to go wild here.

Thinking back to the coldness brought by Rooney's spikes just now, Tang Wu couldn't help but be furious.

It was just a matter of time before Rooney was able to kick himself in the head and break the bloodstream.

Between the future pillars of the British striker and the main goalkeeper of the team, Tang Wu still believes that fans will choose the latter.

"Falk Squid!" How can Rooney's little temper temper be contained? He didn't coax at Everton, and now at Manchester United, he's even less intimidating. "I don't need you to teach me how to play football, I'll kick your head next time!"

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, if it weren't for Xiao Xiaoluo and others stepping forward to pull Rooney out of the penalty area, the two would not have said that they would break free from their teammates and come forward to PK each other's real people.

This is the Double Red Society, and the air is full of slaughter.

It was originally a trivial matter, but after the rendering of the atmosphere on the spot, the players on both sides would instantly lose their minds and turn into the most primitive beasts.

The beams of both teams have been tied for decades, and the players on both sides do not need to be "gentle" with each other. No matter what the players of both teams burst out on the field, the fans on both sides will not mind, of course, as long as they win!

The contradiction between Tang Wu and Rooney was like a fuse, and then it detonated the players on both sides.

In the 14th minute, Carragher did not hesitate to reach out and tackle and get a yellow card. The young Xiao Luo lay on the ground for a long time before being helped up by his teammates. Although there is no big problem with his legs, Carragher's ferocity has long been imprinted in the heart of the Portuguese youngster, leaving a lot of psychological shadows in a short period of time.

In the 17th minute, Brown also returned a yellow card to Liverpool.

Barosh, who had just returned from injury, also rubbed his thighs, scared.

The players on both sides compete for each other, and they fight hard in any corner of the court, not giving up an inch of land.

According to statistics, the total number of fouls committed by the two teams in the 30th minute has reached 15. On average, the referee blows a whistle every two minutes.

In this fierce scramble, it was difficult for both sides to launch an effective attack.

Bei Bald and the old man shouted from time to time on the sidelines, directing the players how to attack and how to deploy, but with little effect.

The battle on the pitch is heating up, and both sides urgently need to step up a hero to lead the team to victory in midfield and push the battle line to the opposition half.

"Liverpool, it's time for Liverpool to have the ball." Seeing Liverpool regain control of the ball at their feet, the on-site commentators were excited.

'Manuel Pellegrino, good ball, he passed to Gerrard.'

"The captain passed the ball back to Hyypia, who handed the ball to Pellegrino again."

"Nice triangle pass! Although the veteran Pellegrino has only recently joined, it can be seen that he has quickly integrated into the team. ”

Just as the commentator methodically introduced Liverpool's passing route, the Reds' short pass had already entered the Red Devils' "alarm zone".

As soon as the ball reached Hamann's feet, Scholes suddenly sped up to try to isolate Hamann from the ball with his body.

"Haman passes!" The commentator looked even more panicked than Hamann, and he didn't want to see Liverpool's attack come to an abrupt halt again.

The veteran Hamann had clearly anticipated Scholes' sudden build-up, and he had already found a way to pass the ball to Luis Garcia on the side.

But how can the Red Devils' pressing be just Scholes?

As soon as Garcia stepped on the ball, Fletcher got stuck behind him in time to prevent him from turning.

There are hungry wolves in the back, and tigers in front.

Seeing Xiao Xiaoluo getting closer and closer to him, Garcia hurriedly stepped out, wanting to pass the ball back to Hamann's feet. Due to the speed of Garcia's return pass, Hamann had no time to use his running position to get rid of Scholes, so he had to take a step forward and force the ball.

When the touch of the ball came from his feet, Scholes did the same.

The German veteran used years of experience to jam his opponent and barely maintain his balance, sweeping the ball into the path of Gerrard in the middle.

At this time, the players on both sides were already running, Gerrard was moving, and Roy Keane was also moving.

One is the Premier League's popular iron waist, the other is the captain of the Red Devils for many years, and the two red captains have had too many direct conversations in this game.

Gerrard was smart and although he knew he would be the first to touch the ball, he didn't rush to catch it and ran towards Roy Keane.

"Bang!"

The captains of both sides bumped into each other.

Gerrard hunched over to protect the ball, and Roy Keane didn't brake enough and hit Gerrard's back straight on.

The young body of the captain of the Reds trembled slightly, and he controlled the ball at his feet.

Just as he was about to look up at his team-mate's movement, Rooney burst out of the way and headed straight for the Reds captain's feet.

Gerrard was quick and split the ball to the side, which was picked up by Reese, who came to pick it up.

But at this time, the Red Devils are exhausted, and they are already at the point where they will not stop until they reach their goal. Even if Reese has stepped on the ball, the other Red Devils players have already pressed into position.

In desperation, Reeser could only pass the ball out in a hurry.

In order not to concede the ball, Liverpool made a quick pass in midfield. Although Manchester United pressed hard, every player could kick back and forth to solve the problem. But everyone knows in their hearts that if they really do this, it will be a waste of their previous efforts and a fall short. The Reds would not do this unless they had to. What's more, this is Anfield, the goalkeeper who is always forced by the Red Devils to pass back, and the impact on Liverpool's morale is too great.

"Pass, pass, pass..."In the commentator's series of "passes", Liverpool actually "killed" a way and handed the ball to the feet of Barosh in front.

The Czech striker took a shot to the right and fired straight at the goal, but the ball grazed the left post and flew off the line.

Although there was no goal, Liverpool's attack was a success. If this continues, the Reds' home goal is just around the corner.

"Something seems wrong?" The old gentleman was chewing gum on the sidelines.

When the old man was puzzled, Carroll's goal kick was kicked into the midfield and was intercepted by the Liverpool player again.

After a series of passes, this time the ball came to the top of Morientes.

La Liga Panba's header technique was excellent, and the header flicked in the direction of Baroshe. However, the Czech striker did not get to the second spot in time and was cleared by the Manchester United players.

Seeing this, the old man's brows furrowed even tighter.

When Liverpool came to the front of the Red Devils penalty area for the third time in a row through a ground pass, the old man finally spoke: "No! Wrong!! ”

"What's wrong?" The teaching assistant on the side hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"This is Liverpool? People who don't know think it's Arsenal! The old gentleman frowned and said, "When did Liverpool have such delicate foot skills?" Look, Gerald's feet look like they can embroider? ”

"Thisβ€”" The teaching assistant didn't know how to answer.

The old gentleman squinted and stared carefully at Carroll's goalball.

In midfield, Hamann and Paul Scholes jumped together and headed the ball in a direction where no one was around. In this way, neither of them has earned the first landing point.

With the arrival of the ball, the open space quickly gathered players from both sides. Traore stabbed the ball at the feet of Reese in front of him, and Liverpool controlled possession again.

β€œ1、2、3、4、5、6...6οΌŸβ€ The old gentleman stretched out his fingers and counted the soldiers. When he found the sixth Reds midfielder, it finally dawned on him.

"Liverpool have six midfielders?"

"Uh... Coach, Liverpool only have 5 midfielders, Hamann..."

"No, I don't need you to reintroduce me!" The old gentleman rudely interrupted the assistant coach's introduction, "What I want to know is why we always have one less person in midfield than Liverpool!" ”

"Boss, look at that..."The assistant teacher stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Wu who was standing behind Hyypia.

"Fack! It's this hateful boy again! Ferguson scolded in a low voice, "What are Wenger and Mourinho doing, haven't they come up with any good methods until now?" ”

Every time they press in midfield, Liverpool will assign a defender to participate in the midfield; If United also have one more man in the fray, then Morientes will drop back and maintain the situation of having one more man in midfield.

In such a situation, it will be difficult for the Red Devils to snatch the ball from the feet of Liverpool, who have one more man. Even if you have possession of the ball, if you don't move it in time, you will be quickly cut off by the Reds.

The Premier League's generally smaller pitches are not suitable for the development of passing technology, and Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are a breath of fresh air. Now Liverpool adopts the "one more" rogue style of play, in the small space of the midfield, one more teammate is more strength. Even Xiao Xiaoluo, who is known for his personal foot skills, has little room to show it.

In this way, on average, Liverpool attack the city three or four times before Manchester United can have a decent counter-attack.

In this case, even if the old lord does not warn, the Red Devils will be careful and cherish every opportunity for their own side to attack.

In the 38th minute, Rooney finally broke the ball from the feet of the Liverpool players with his aggressive running. Who would have thought that a bucket figure like Lu Xiaopang would have such a big impact and flexibility?

"Nice tackle, Man Utd hit back!" The Sky narrator said excitedly into the microphone.

"Scholes... Scholes passes! ”

"Cristiano! Cristiano breakthrough! ”

"Good shot! Cristiano wasn't greedy! Mature, he handed the ball to striker Saha in time! ”

Saha threw the peach and passed the ball back! What a smooth two-over-one! ”

"Chris... Cristiano shoots! ”

A little inside on the right edge of the Liverpool penalty area, Ronaldo did not move forward again after receiving the return pass. Instead, he took advantage of Liverpool's brief defensive gap to prepare for a decisive kick and swept the ball towards Liverpool's goal.

The entire penalty area is Xiao Xiaoluo's shooting range.

Call!

The ball flew like an arrow and went straight to the far corner of the goal.

"Good shot!" The Sky Desk commentator shouted.

In everyone's mind, Xiao Xiaoluo's shot will bring unexpected trouble to any goalkeeper. Whether it's Seaman, Edwin van der Sar or Lehmann, these veteran Premier League goalkeepers can only do their best to keep the ball out of danger.

And what about Tang Wu?

What will he do?

Can he hold the gates of Liverpool?

The ball was electrified, and in the blink of an eye, it was already approaching Tang Wu's horizontal line. Just as the ball was about to cross the horizon and take a step further, a pair of large hands suddenly appeared in front of the ball's path as if falling from the sky.

Not a single fist, not a single palm, but a pair of palms with palms facing outwards and slightly open.

Boom!

The ball slammed into it.

But it didn't change direction, because it was like a bird returning to the cave, and it stopped firmly in Tang Wu's hands.

Hiss~~~

Field gasps!

It was a world-class save!

But this is not the first time Tang Wu has made such a save!

When the fans were still reminiscing about the "sideways ball" just now, Tang Wu, who had caught the ball and fell to the ground, rolled on the ground and got up quickly. Without even running, he threw the ball in his hand in the air, and swept the ball out with a horizontal body.

The ball flew like a cannonball through the midfield, and if it weren't for the camera zooming out, the fans in front of the TV might not have been able to see the ball's trajectory.

"Chest, chest, chest..."Tang Wu, who had kicked out his big foot, stared at the ball that flew away, muttering something silently in his mouth.

Morientes had already received Tang Wu's signal and pulled his leg forward. As he jumped on the edge of the penalty area, the ball flew right over his head.

In the Premier League, only Tang Wu has such an accurate goalkeeper, a low-altitude ball, and an accurate long pass.

The Spaniard flicked a header in the air and accurately distributed the ball into Baroshe's path. However, before the Czech could touch the ball, he was kicked out of bounds by Heinze, who was chasing back in time.

"Fack!" Seeing the ball flying out of the sideline, Tang Wu scolded secretly. "Why can't you be a little more aggressive? Why are you so cowardly? Lao Tzu's ball was passed to you, why do you give it to others? ”
