Luis Garcia hugged his head with a depressed face, he thought the ball was there when he shot just now!

Manchester United's defenders were relieved that if they scored another goal, they would be in danger!

Especially O'Shea, who should defend Luis Garcia, just watched Liverpool's attack on the left side, he rushed to the penalty area to help defend Owen, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to send a pass across the half court. www.biquge.info It's a good thing that Luis Garcia's shot didn't go in, otherwise he'd be a sinner!

Luis Garcia's shot just now also reminded Manchester United that they are all on the edge of a cliff now, and anyone who scores a goal can push the opponent directly into the abyss!

They obviously want to try to give themselves the initiative, so they are going to go even harder!

In the 76th minute, Ryan Giggs crossed the ball diagonally into the box from the corner of the box on the left side.

Ruud van Nistelrooy leaned on Hyypia with his back near the penalty spot to receive the ball!

In the face of Hyypia, who was taller and stronger than himself, Vanney still successfully took the initiative, and after receiving the ball, he suddenly turned 180 degrees on the spot and directly completed a turn and sweep!

Hyypia only felt a light in front of him, and then when he stretched out his leg to block, it was already a beat slower, and the ball passed by him and flew straight into the far corner of the goal!

Vanney's shot was from a tricky angle, but because he turned and shot on the spot, the power of the shot was a little weak, which also left time for Dudek to save!

Although the Polish goalkeeper's vision was blocked, he was already tense when Ruud van Nistelrooy turned around, and immediately pounced on the far corner the moment the king of the penalty area shot!

In the end, Dudek, who fully stretched out his body, lifted the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!

It was a brilliant save that gave the Liverpool fans in the stands a round of applause for their goalkeeper!

Manchester United fans let out a sigh of regret!

"It was a wonderful supply-side confrontation! Vanney shot beautifully, Dudek saved very well! ”

Vanney shook his head in frustration, his turn and shot just now was very beautiful! This is his stunt, but it was a pity that Dudek made a wonderful save!

Compared to the depressed Vanney, Dudek was very excited, and after getting up from the turf, he shook his right fist hard before he began to direct his teammates to prepare for the corner!

The Polish goalkeeper's desire to perform is really strong, and he loves to be a goalkeeper so much, I can't imagine what he would be like if he was a striker who often scored goals!

Ryan Giggs ran to the right-hand corner flag and prepared to take the corner.

When the crowd in the box was already in position and the referee blew the whistle, Giggs sent the ball out!

I don't know if it was a footwork mistake or intentional, the Welshman's corner didn't go up, but flew towards the near corner at a knee-high level!

At the same time, the ball has a strong inspin!

Scholes, who outflanked the front, and Xavi Alonso, who defended his legs, couldn't get to the ball!

After the ball passed the two men, it bounced off the ground again, and then spun weirdly towards the near corner of the goal!

Dudek swooped towards the near post in disbelief and barely got enough of the ball, then Xavi Alonso immediately cleared it off the touchline!

"Oh~~~ It's so thrilling! Giggs's corner almost flew straight into the net! What a thief this ball is! Thankfully, Dudek has been in great form once again! ”

Giggs is also very depressed, the ball just now was deliberately kicked like this, in his opinion, if Scholes in front of the point can form a shot is good, even if he fails to touch the ball, or is touched by Xavi Alonso, it is possible to form a goal!

As a result, Dudek in front of the goal made another wonderful save!

In both attacks, Dudek became the absolute protagonist.

Of course, in the eyes of most Liverpudlians, if they could, they would even hope that Dudek would have better not have a chance to perform all the time, because that would mean that their goal is very safe!

Two minutes later, Hesky, who received Gerrard's pass on the penalty line, wanted to emulate Chen Xi's back-heel pass, and he made this action, but unfortunately the force of the pass was a little small!

When Chen Xi was about to receive the ball, he was destroyed by Gary Neville with a kick!

Even so, Chen Xi still forced a thumbs up at Husky, letting this big black man play such a flower job is even more difficult than letting Li Kui embroider!

Husky just smiled innocently, and at the same time sighed in his heart, he still can't compare with Chen Xi!

People have such a wonderful pass at their fingertips, but the pass that they have prepared for a while is still a little bit worse!

Good chances always followed, with Heskey almost delivering a lethal assist and soon Luis Garcia's breakthrough on the right was violated to create another free-kick on the right for Liverpool!

This goal is a bit out of position and not very suitable for shooting, but it is a better assist opportunity for Chen Xi than a corner kick!

After setting the ball, Chen Xi began to pay attention to the situation in the penalty area!

Honk!

After the referee's whistle, Chen Xi started his own run!

The right foot is at the point of the ball, and the ball arcs out, bypassing the wall from the side close to the baseline and spinning into the penalty area!

The ball goes straight into the near corner at breakneck speed!

This time, it was Carragher who appeared on the ball route!

The Reds centre-back isn't very tall, but his header ability is impressive!

Successfully got rid of Brown's defense and ran to the front point, Carragher jumped up to meet the ball and flicked his head at the goal!

The ball goes straight into the near corner of the goal!

However, this time Manchester United goalkeeper Howard showed a wonderful save that was not inferior to Dudek just now!

He flew sideways, blocked the ball out of goal range in a single chapter, and then the ball was cleared by O'Shea!

"Oh~~~ The game seems to have evolved into a battle between two goalkeepers in the last twenty minutes! Over there, Dudek made a series of wonderful saves to keep the city gate safe, and here Howard also started his performance! In fact, despite conceding a goal each, the two goalkeepers performed very well today. If it were an ordinary goalkeeper, I am afraid that today would be a goal battle! ”

Deputy Carragher of the Red Army shook his head depressedly and ran to the backfield!

As a defender, more often than not, they can only play in front of their own goal. It's rare to get a straight shot. Set-pieces up front were good chances.

In general, a few big men in the team are more likely to get headers. This time, Carragher finally ran to Chen Xi's passing point and completed a wonderful header, but it was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, can you not regret it?

Compared to Dudek, Howard, an American, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after getting up from the turf, he frantically beats his chest, like a gorilla, celebrating his wonderful save just now!

Unconsciously, after the two teams went back and forth and never stopped attacking, the game has entered the last ten minutes!

'The last 10 minutes were crucial for both teams. The game reached the final, and the format was not like before the semi-finals, and if there was a draw, a rematch was chosen. If the final is a draw, you need to play extra time, and if you draw again, you will have to play a penalty shootout! It was a huge physical test for both teams. Manchester United is a team that suffers from physical fitness because the average age of the team is relatively old. Liverpool, on the other hand, has a Champions League final in a week, and if this game is too fierce, it will obviously affect their performance in the Champions League final! ”

As the commentator said, the FA Cup format is interesting, that is, after a draw, it is not an extra-time and a penalty shoot-out, but a replay.

In the previous format, even if the final was drawn, there was a rematch.

Tottenham Hotspur won the FA Cup two years in a row in 81,82, and they were won after a replay in the final!

Obviously, in recent years, the FA has changed the format of the competition in consideration of the spectator surname of the final. It became the same as any other tournament, and if there was a draw, extra time and then a penalty!

As the game wore on, the managers of both teams were already frowning.

Ferguson wants to drag Liverpool into extra-time and penalty shoot-outs to affect their Champions League performance. It's just that considering the physical condition of the team, he didn't dare to take such a risk.

If you go to extra time and still lose the game because of physical reasons, it will really hurt others and yourself!

Benitez, of course, is needless to say, and he is desperate to settle the game in 90 minutes.

Originally, this game was already under a lot of pressure to put all the main lineup and Manchester United hard.

If the game goes too far, causing the team's form in the Champions League final to be affected, he can imagine what kind of criticism he will receive at that time!

The players on the pitch are obviously well aware of this and they all want to be able to solve problems in the last ten minutes.

Therefore, even after fighting for 80 minutes, they still gritted their teeth on the court and continued to strengthen their offensive.

Rafael Benitez and Alex Ferguson have already called up a number of substitutes from the bench, even if they are reluctant, but they still have to be ready for extra time!

In addition to the physical pressure of the players on the field, the psychological pressure is not small.

In the last ten minutes, if the opponent scores a goal, it will be difficult to turn the tables around.

Even if they are giants, if there are only the last few minutes of the game, the coaches of both teams will definitely not mind switching to defensive players and sticking to the last few minutes!
