694. Who is trembling?
"Drop!"
A shrill whistle rang out over Anfield.
Zhan Tianjun in the media box slapped his thigh:
"The referee from Spain, Carlos Carballo, awarded a penalty! Manchester United hit again! β
It was the 21st minute of the game, and Liverpool, who had a one-goal lead, were still attacking around United's half, while United were still defending at full strength.
With Depay and Marcus Rashford both dropping back into the box, United's defence looks airtight and it will be difficult to find absolute openings.
Seeing that Manchester United is unlikely to get a chance to counterattack, and Long Shute is also ready to join the attacking team, Manchester United's defense can't help but shudder!
Schneiderlin hurriedly left Coutinho behind and pounced on the Reds captain at the first time, and Carrick, who was not far away, couldn't help but be distracted.
It was this distraction that Coutinho slammed the ball and cut cross, seemingly ready to pick up his right foot and shoot again, but unexpectedly launched a through plug with the outside of his left foot!
Firmino was targeted by Chris Smalling, and Coutinho found his team-mate...... It's still a Lallana with a huge range of activities!
Lallana scored directly from the right side along the sideline of the penalty area, but as soon as he stepped into the penalty area, he was pushed by Depay, who was close to the defense, and his center of gravity was unstable and he "fluttered" and rolled to the ground!
Depay also wanted to appeal that "this is normal physical contact", but the assistant referee has already raised the flag in his hand for the first time.
The referee also did not hesitate to pull out the yellow card from his chest pocket and raised it high to a round of applause at Anfield.
Giggs, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but have a weak leg!
Yellow Card + Penalty ...... Although he was Ferguson's favorite disciple and had experienced numerous shocking comebacks with the pinnacle Manchester United, he felt that he had seen the end of this game after only 20 minutes!
Can he still win?
"Wha!"
Ferguson, who sat in the away area, looked pale, and he vaguely felt like he heard a rude laugh.
He looked across the main stand, where there was only a surging red.
He couldn't see the legend and king of Liverpool, who was also his own Scottish countryman...... Kenny Dalglish.
But he knew that idiot must be proud!
Dalglish, of course, is full of spring breeze.
What reason does he have to be unhappy?
Around him sat a group of his old friends, including his old teammates who were also Liverpool, as well as his own seven aunts and eight aunts.
He pointed to the group of energetic young men and patted his chest with pride:
"See? If it weren't for the solid foundation I laid in the 11-12 season, how could they be where they are today? I'm the key to Liverpool's revival! β
Why do you roll your eyes?
You can go and ask Rogers, does he dare to fart in front of my King Dalglish?
Liverpool's original first penalty taker was probably Sturridge, the former main striker.
But the glassy guy is now on the bench, so it's up to the starters to decide who to take the free throws.
As captain and centrepiece, Ronshette has always been fair and impartial, throwing the ball to Lallana, who created the penalty, before exiting the penalty area first.
The team's top bosses all led by example, and the other teammates were embarrassed to compete with Lallana, giving up the empty penalty area to the local player who is the representative of Liverpool and known as the flower of the Red Army.
"Lallana was quite active during this period, the first goal was inseparable from his movement and passing, and this penalty was created directly by him, so it is a compliment to him to take the penalty......
As soon as Zhang Lu's words fell, Lallana's right foot was already on the ball!
De Gea swooped out like a taut bow and arrow!
But he didn't see the shadow of football!
De Gea subconsciously turned his head to look back, only to see the ball fall lightly from the middle of the goal into the goal line!
"This ...... Spoon?! β
Zhan Tianjun and the Manchester United goalkeeper showed the same expression of disbelief, but the mood of the two people was completely different:
"Even De Gea was completely deceived by his spoon, and Liverpool went to the next city! 2-0οΌ β
"Adam ......"
"Lallana!"
Once again, the stands were filled with tsunami cheers, with most of Anfield trembling with joy while the other half fell into an embarrassing silence.
Ferguson took a piece of gum out of his pocket and gently held it in his mouth, but the ubiquitous camera captured it, and the old man's right hand was trembling slightly.
If it had been his Red Devils, he would have been confident of turning the tide in the games to come, even in the most difficult periods.
But he knew better than anyone else that his time was over!
βyesοΌ yesοΌ them! β
Rodgers took turns high-five his assistants in celebration before returning to the command area and calling in Klein, the full-back closest to him.
"Boss, what instructions do you have?"
The young and hard-working Klein still has a lot of respect for the head coach, and he is not like Emre Can, who is so thoughtful that he thinks he can do anything by hugging his thigh......
Rogers put one hand on his shoulder and raised his voice slightly:
"You told your captain that I wasn't happy with his performance! If he is so unenterprising, I will replace him immediately! β
Klein looked confused:
"We're 2-0 now......"
Brendan Rodgers pushed him off the pitch:
"Tell him word for word!"
Rodgers crossed his hands over his chest and stared at the players on the pitch with intense eyes.
Even though Ronshette turned his head to look at him after listening to Klein's relay, Rogers still held his head high.
This is an open and secret battle between the manager and the team boss!
Whoever can behave a little tougher will win a bigger voice!
Rogers felt like he was about to fly......
But a voice knocked him down to the mortal world:
"Brendan, are you cold?"
The club's equipment manager, Lee Radcriffey, handed him a coat with a look of concern.
Rogers waved his hand:
"Thanks, but I'm not cold at all!"
Assistant coach Mike Marsh laughed:
"Don't hold on, put it on, we all see you standing there shivering!"
Long Shute shook his head, a little speechless at the head coach's tactical arrangement.
I had already told him that since Manchester United would counter-attack defensively, the fastest one would be responsible for staying behind......
But Luo Tiancai felt that he contributed too little on the offensive end, and even doubted that he was ready to release water.
No way, who let Long Shute actually have this idea before the game?
In order to dispel the manager's doubts, let's participate in an attack yourself!
"Emre," he greeted his teammate, "switch positions with me, 20 minutes at most!" β
"It's a defensive midfielder again......"
Emre Jan staggered back, muttering vigorously:
"I'm your first supporter, and it's too partial...... you didn't fly with me?"
But don't get me wrong, although he kept complaining, Zhan didn't work or help.
Less than 20 seconds later, he was able to hold Carrick with his body and make a hard steal!
"Catch the ball, Captain!"
He didn't even raise his eyes, and according to his usual training habits, he launched a direct pass forward!
"Long Shute catches the ball! Will this be Liverpool's counter-attacking chance? β
Zhan Tianjun's heart couldn't help but feel hot, but this flame was quickly extinguished:
"Manchester United were very aggressive in defending and didn't leave enough space for Liverpool, and the game became a half-time drill......
Maybe it's not that Manchester United is active in defending, but that their midfield doesn't have a big attack at all, so as soon as Liverpool's side broke the ball, Smalling led his teammates to retreat to the hinterland.
No matter how fast Long Shute's speed was, it was impossible to fly over most of the arena in a second, and he could only watch as the opponent once again set up an iron bucket formation inside and outside the penalty area.
In order to prevent Longsette's long-range shooting skills, Fellaini waited around him almost every inch, and if he did have a chance to catch the ball, Schneiderlin on the other side would be desperate to pounce and form a pinch!
Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Lallana were all given such a focus and Liverpool's forward combination was getting bogged down.
Henderson, Zhan, and even two full-backs, Moreno and Klein, had to join the team to increase the number of attackers, but they still couldn't knock Manchester United's defense again in a short period of time, and it was easy to be penetrated by the opponent's counterattack!
Ryan Giggs' hands were hot and nervous on the sidelines, and he certainly saw the holes in Liverpool's defence.
All it takes is one chance!
All it takes is one goal back and United can bounce back together!
Rogers was also nervous, and he regretted it a little, why did he have to put pressure on Ronshit?
2-0 victory...... That's probably enough!
Just when the coaches of both sides had their own hearts and the fans of both sides were in mixed moods, left wingback Moreno suddenly came with a cross that was 45 degrees oblique!
The pass was clearly not of Beckham's level, and was blocked by Rashford, who was desperately defending, with his outstretched foot and a slight change of trajectory.
But there was also a flurry of chickens and dogs on the edge of United's penalty area.
Because...... Ronshit is in the middle lane!
"Poof!"
As soon as Long Shute took a step, he felt a powerful thrust coming from behind him, pushing him forward involuntarily!
"Fellaini pushes people behind his back!" Many of the commentators shouted in unison.
It was definitely a foul, and even Manchester United's own fans couldn't clear their name, because in the broadcast screen, Fellaini almost pushed Lonshette with both hands!
Referee Carlos had already put the whistle in his mouth, but his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
I saw that Long Shute, who had lost his center of gravity, leaned forward sharply, and saw that he was about to fall to the ground in the next second, did not fall to the ground completely, but stretched out his hands...... Hold on to the turf!
Long Shute's instantaneous explosiveness is unparalleled in the world, and with the boost behind Fellaini, he can't stop at all.
The audience of 45,000 saw the next scene.
The red No. 8 propped his hands on the ground in the process of falling, and the whole person turned upside down!
But his focus has been very weirdly re-raised!
And then...... As if after countless rehearsals, his legs pointing straight to the sky swung down against the flying football!
"Bang!"
The right heel slammed into the football!
"Bang!"
The ball slammed into the ground!
Rebound!
Get into the net!
De Gea didn't make any moves!
His legs and hands ...... Not even a little reaction!
In the 36th minute, Liverpool No. 8 ...... Smash to score!
