Chapter 361: Continue to be undefeated

'Manchester United made a substitution, Michael Carrick replaced Anderson, and it seems that Ferguson wants to strengthen the midfield defence, but shouldn't they be more attacking now?'

Manchester United need to attack, even with all their might, to equalise or even overtake. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Carrick's presence doesn't mean United have a big compromise on attack.

A solid defence will make the players who are involved in the attack more focused, so Carrick's presence may increase the attacking power of Manchester United.

Manchester United need to attack, but how?

In the first 45 minutes of the first half, they also spared no effort to attack, but with little effect. In addition to the two goals conceded, they also lost face.

After midfielder Alex Ferguson's hairdryer, they calmed down at the moment.

They need to attack, they need to attack in a gradual and methodical way. And not like in the first half, a swarm of attack.

Therefore, the moment the whistle blew in the second half, they were creating favorable conditions for a gradual and methodical attack - passing!

The Liverpool players, as in the first half, were still pushing with no relentless effort.

That gave Manchester United a chance.

Because people can't outrun football.

Although Liverpool's pressing is ferocious, the players have a lot of running distance, and there are naturally more opportunities for gaps, as long as they can seize the gaps in their backfield, they can naturally create good opportunities to shoot.

But the difficulty in the game is how to seize such opportunities.

But now the United players are facing how to get rid of Liverpool's ferocious pressing. If they can't get the ball running properly under their ferocious pressing, then it's all for nothing.

After receiving the pass from his teammates, Yu Liang did not stop at all, immediately passed to his teammates around him, and then continued to run to respond.

Speeding up the passing speed at your feet and constantly running at the same time is the way to defuse the opponent's ferocious pressing.

This is not only the work of the school players, but also the tacit understanding between the school players. Wherever there is a problem, it will lead to a problem in their attack. So every player is very serious about the game, they are actively running in the field, and they are fast to the ball.

Manchester United, who played the ball quickly in succession, quickly controlled the pace of the game. Every time they passed, they involved the movement of the Liverpool players, and after successfully bringing Liverpool into their rhythm of the game, the attack came naturally.

After a lot of hard work, Manchester United's first goal finally came.

After Yu Liang cooperated with his teammates in the middle to tear apart the Liverpool midfield defense, he immediately transferred laterally, and the football crossed the Liverpool backline with an arc, cutting into the gap between the central defender and the left full-back near the bottom line, and Ronaldo quickly started on the right side like a cheetah, grabbed the football before the opponent's fullback, and then crossed with his feet. Tevez flicked his header to the front of the net and the ball grazed the inside of the near post and flew into the back of the net.

1-2, Tevez's goal completely ignited the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils fans, who had been suppressed for more than 70 minutes, tried their best to vent their emotions in the stands, and they cheered indulgently.

Tevez, who was excited after the goal, immediately rushed to the sidelines and was just about to celebrate, remembered something, and then immediately ran to the field, rushed into the Liverpool goal, and returned to the center circle with the football.

The cheering Reds fans were also aware of a serious problem.

Can they continue to be undefeated?

……

'Manchester United finally got on the scoresheet, Carlos Tevez and Alex Ferguson seem to have won the bet again, but can they continue to be unbeaten? You must know that the game time has come to 78 minutes, and there is not much time left for them! ”

Tevez's goal was exhilarating, but the indefatigable fact is that it came a little late.

However, it wasn't too late for the United players.

While enjoying the hope that the goal gave them, they also gave Tevez a round of applause.

"Well done!"

"Wonderful!"

"Man, you've done a great job! I really didn't expect you to do it! ”

Tevez, who returned to the centre circle, received congratulations from his teammates.

He also felt that this goal was not too late, and excitedly yelled at his teammates: "One more!" ”

"Come on, one more!"

The Manchester United players gathered together shouted loudly.

It wasn't too late, but they knew they didn't have much time left.

Ten minutes is not too much, too little, but it is enough for them to use the remaining ten minutes to tie the score.

So as soon as the game started, the Manchester United players immediately launched a frantic pressing.

Ten minutes is enough time for Manchester United to equalise and for Liverpool to continue to extend the score.

However, Liverpool, who have a one-goal advantage, really want to win these three points.

Although Liverpool currently have a 12-point gap in the table with Manchester United with a game in hand, Liverpool have never given up the chance to compete for the league title. It was a game worth six points for them, and as long as they beat Manchester United, they still have hope of coming back to win the title.

Therefore, they chose the safest way, which was to delay the time with passive transmission.

It is precisely because of this choice that they are now forced into a dead end, and under the constant pressure of the Manchester United players, they can only shrink into the half of the field and keep passing back, even now that the United are empty at the back, they are unable to pass the ball out and attack.

The more they get to this point, the less they can afford to lose possession of the ball so easily.

But soon they lost possession.

Under the joint pressure of Yu Liang and his teammates on the wing, Kuyt, who had fallen into a dead end, turned around and kicked the ball at Yu Liang's legs. He wanted to smash the ball on Yu Liang's leg and bounce out of bounds so they could continue to control the ball.

Yu Liang thought of this when he forced Kuyt into a dead end, so he kept an eye on it. But the ball was too fast, and even if he made a quick evasion move, he still couldn't fully dodge, and the ball smashed into his leg. However, the football that smashed on Yu Liang's leg did not pop out of bounds, and rolled back near the sideline with a hint of spin. The excited Yu Liang made an arrow step, grabbed the ball before Kuyt, and then passed it directly to Park Ji-sung in front.

Park Ji-sung took two steps and passed the ball to Rooney in the middle, who knocked Yu Liang back.

Yu Liang, who came to the middle at this moment, made a pick pass and sent the ball to the gap in the ribs of the Liverpool defense again.

Patrice Evra, who was interspersed in place, caught up with the football and made an inverted triangle pass to the edge of the penalty area, Rooney pulled out his foot and fired the ball straight into the goal.

2-2!

Manchester United equalised.

Old Trafford was immediately erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

……

“gooooooooooooooal! Wayne...... Rooney! Unbeaten in 45 games and unbeaten in 45 games in all competitions, Manchester United continue their unbeaten run......"

When Rooney hit the ball into the goal, Andy Gray in the commentary box blushed as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, and kept roaring.

Less than three minutes after Wayne Rooney's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Relying on goals from Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney, Manchester United drew at home to Liverpool, avoiding the fate of being beaten by their opponents this season, and extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 45 games! (To be continued.) )
