Chapter 49: Double Red Society 2
"Saha shoots, Carragher, Carragher keeps the ball out of the line! Corner, Giggs crosses, or Saha! Carragher, again Carragher, broke the ball straight to the far point, Leo Ferdinand, the ball went to Ferdinand's feet! Carragher pounced directly, Ferdinand shook a dunk, shook Carragher, and shot straight at the far corner! Gooooooooooal, Leo Ferdinand, scored again after nine months, and it is interesting that he scored against Liverpool nine months ago, and it seems that Ferdinand is Liverpool's bitter master! ”
There was jubilation at Old Trafford.
In the 66th minute, Rio Ferdinand's goal doubled the lead for Manchester United.
After taking a two-goal lead, Ferguson tried to tighten his control over the tempo to further mobilize Liverpool's players and drain their energy. So he's ready to make substitutions.
"Manchester United has made a substitution, replaced O'Shea, replaced Yu Liang! Hi Andy, your genius is here! ”
As Yu Liang's witness, Andy Gray is very optimistic about Yu Liang.
On many occasions, Yu Liang has publicly stated that he is a talented player.
When chatting with colleagues, when talking about Yu Liang, Andy Gray opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that he was my genius, my genius.
So when his colleagues talk about Yu Liang, they will make fun of Andy Gray and say that you are a genius.
"Yes, my genius has appeared, but my genius has been in a lot of trouble lately, and I hope these troubles will not affect his form!"
After Yu Liang came on the field, Liverpool kicked off in the middle circle and attacked.
In order to win this game, Liverpool fielded the strongest lineup.
Up front, Dutch striker Kuyt plays as a lone arrowhead.
In midfield, Marcos Alonso and Sissoko form a back two, with Steven Gerrard in front of them and Mark Gonzalez and Luis Garcia on either flank.
The central defenders on the back line are made up of Hyypia and Carragher, on either side are Finnan and Reiser, and the goalkeeper is Reina!
In order to strengthen the attack, Benitez replaced Mark Gonzalez with Pennant in the 52nd minute.
As soon as Liverpool's side attacked, Manchester United's players pressed on the spot.
When Liverpool moved the ball to the wing, Rooney chased it directly to the side and pressed. In the entanglement with Luis Garcia, Rooney knocked down the linesman directly and broke the linesman's flag!
Liverpool possession.
Throwing the ball from the sideline, Finnan threw it directly to Kuyt, who moved to the wing.
Kuyt stopped the ball and distributed the ball to Gerrard in the middle, then quickly stepped forward and ran towards the gap between Vidic and Ferdinand.
As long as Gerrard has a straight shot, Liverpool will be able to penetrate the United defence, and Kuyt will face Van der Sar directly.
When Yu Liang, who was wandering in the middle of the lane, saw this gap, he immediately moved towards the gap, wanting to block it.
But Yu Liang underestimated Kuyt's running ability and Gerrard's vision.
As soon as he started, Gerrard flicked his ankle and sent the ball into the gap.
"Nemanja!"
Unable to stop the pass or make up for the gap, Yu Liang had to shout Vidic loudly there.
By the time Vidic could react, Kuyt was leading the ball towards the penalty area. In a hurry, Vidic immediately put his hands up and down, directly put Kuyt to the ground, gave Liverpool a free-kick on the line of the penalty area, and at the same time received a yellow card from the referee himself.
Although the free-kick was well placed, Liverpool's free-kick did not threaten United's goal.
Although the free-kick did not threaten the door of Manchester United, this attack gave the Liverpool players a new attacking idea - to attack the middle!
When O'Shea is on the pitch, he is able to fill in the holes in United's defence with a positive run, making it difficult for them to get chances in the middle.
But what about after O'Shea's departure?
They immediately got a chance in the middle.
What does this mean?
It shows that Yu Liang's defensive ability in the middle is not as strong as O'Shea!
Of course, this is only the opinion of the Liverpool players.
There are two bases for this point of view, the first is that in the attack just now, although Yu Liang found a gap, he was not able to make up for it in time. The second is experience, compared to O'Shea, Yu Liang is too young.
After settling on the attacking idea, Benitez immediately made a substitution.
Crouch replaced Alonso and installed a beacon up front to point the way in attack.
After Liverpool's substitutions, the game resumed.
Van der Sar passed the ball directly to Rio Ferdinand.
As the best central defender in England, Ferdinand will sometimes play tricks on the field, play well and wonderfully, and if he doesn't play well, he will be easy to stab.
Rio Ferdinand, who had just scored a goal, was in high spirits.
In the face of the high-ranking Crouch's pressing, after continuous shaking, he reflexively buckled and directly shook off Crouch. The stadium immediately erupted in cheers.
Ferdinand, who was satisfied with the cheers, immediately passed the ball to Yu Liang.
Yu Liang, who received the ball near the center circle, observed it and distributed the ball to Gary Neville on the right side. Neville knocked the ball back again after taking some distance.
By this time, United's last defence had already pressed past the halfway line.
After Yu Liang received Neville's ball, he immediately passed it to Vidic on the left.
This made Kuyt, who rushed up to force the robbery, to no avail.
Attacking the middle is an attacking idea, but if they don't have the opportunity to attack, it's all for nothing. So they pinned their hopes on Yu Liang, hoping to find a breakthrough in Yu Liang's body. In their opinion, Yu Liang is a weak point in the whole Manchester United team.
So after Yu Liang passed the ball, Kuyt symbolically grabbed Vidic, and then cruising not far from Yu Liang.
Through Manchester United's previous games, and this time attack. It is not difficult for Kuyt to judge that Yu Liang is the core of Manchester United's playmaking. As long as you can choke that, you will be able to contain Manchester United's attack.
Sure enough, after the ball was passed around and the front court did not get a chance, it came to Yu Liang's feet again.
Kuyt immediately accelerated and rushed towards Yu Liang.
Control the tempo!
This is Yu Liang's main task on the field.
So seeing Kuyt rushing towards him, Yu Liang immediately passed the ball to Ferdinand, who responded.
Yu Liang chose to pass the ball, giving Kuyt the feeling of punching the cotton.
However, after seeing the ball pass to Rio Ferdinand, Kuyt's eyes lit up.
Although this is his first season in the Premier League, he has heard of Rio Ferdinand, England's best centre-back.
Play with flowers!
"Leo!"
The moment Kuyt bypassed him and rushed towards Ferdinand, Yu Liang shouted at Ferdinand, hoping that Ferdinand could pass the ball out as soon as possible.
In case you play with the basket, it's a big problem.
Of course, Ferdinand heard Yu Liang's shout, and he gave Yu Liang a thumbs up and stepped on the ball with his right foot. As Kuyt rushed over, he pulled back and drew a circle on the top of the ball with his left foot.
Yu Liang watched Ferdinand play there, and immediately began to retreat.
At the same time, he motioned to Vidic to take care of the tall guy Crouch.
However, as soon as he signaled to Vidic, Ferdinand played big.
I didn't step on my left bike properly, and I stepped on the soccer ball and stomped it.
Kuyt took advantage of the situation, poked the ball away, and completed the steal!
"Uncle's ......"
After scolding angrily, Yu Liang pulled his leg and rushed towards Kuyt. (To be continued.) )
