Chapter 1141 - Single Knife Ball (Medium)
Manchester United's defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are by no means idle, even if they are placed in the world, they are also a top combination, the two have excellent individual ability, and the cooperation is also good, according to common sense, they will not make low-level mistakes that leak people, but Chen Yu has put too much pressure on them, so that they have forgotten that there is also a Kuyt, and all their minds are on Chen Yu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Defending Chen Yu cut off the source of Liverpool's goals, which is the consensus of all Premier League teams.
For the sake of Chen Yu, even if Kuyt was missed, he did not hesitate.
Manchester United players can miss Kuyt, Chen Yu does not, he has never been a pure striker, although he is better at scoring goals than the best strikers.
Chen Yu's vision is very broad, or he doesn't have ******** to shoot when he gets the ball.
As soon as Ferdinand and Vidic pounced, Chen Yu did not hesitate, immediately made a passing action, nudged with his left foot, and the ball rolled lightly in front of Kuyt.
The ball rolled lightly, but Kuyt's heart was heavy, he knew how heavy the game was and how rare it was.
The nervousness made Kuyt's movements a little out of shape, originally it was an easy-to-control pass, not fast and not spinning, but Kuyt actually had a small deviation when he stopped the ball and changed direction at the same time, and the ball was more than ten centimeters away from his body.
More than ten centimeters, the defender is not one step away from Kuyt, Kuyt still has time to adjust, but Kuyt receives the ball and changes direction to prepare to shoot, far away from these ten centimeters, Kuyt's shooting plan is bankrupt, he can only dribble to the penalty area.
Kuyt's speed is not the top of the forwards, and his technique is not very delicate, so when Chen Yu passes the ball to him, his first thought is to shoot, not into the box, which is also a wise move, but unfortunately, a little mistake in stopping the ball makes Kuyt have to challenge Van der Sar in the box.
Van der Sar, like the rest of the United players, kept his eyes on Chen Yu, and it was only after Chen Yu's pass that his eyes shifted to Kuyt.
Van der Sar was sharp-eyed and meticulously observant, and he could see at a glance that Kuyt had made a mistake in stopping the ball, and he decisively seized the record, rushed out of the small penalty area as fast as possible, and went straight to the outside of the big penalty area.
It can be said that it is a wrong step, Kuyt did not stop the ball for the first time, and was forced to enter the penalty area, at this moment Manchester United's midfielders quickly returned to the defense, Kuyt's lead was only one step away, and there was no opportunity to adjust if he wanted to shoot, so he could only take his head into the penalty area.
The 28-year-old Van der Sar is 1.97 meters tall, he is in the most golden age of goalkeepers, his physical function has not declined, but he has been extremely experienced, his height of 1.97 meters gives him a very wide coverage area, and his slender body allows him to move and fall to the ground quickly, and he is not afraid of the common shortcomings of goalkeepers who are too tall: slow to fall to the ground.
Van der Sar's quick pounce put Kuyt under great pressure, and he didn't dare to get past Van der Sar, but instead raised his foot to shoot directly when he was not well prepared.
It's not a wise move, Kuyt can't help it, it's already the best option, and he hesitates a little longer, just afraid that he will lose even the chance to shoot
Just shoot, you have a chance to score!
Van der Sar was already ready for Kuyt's shot, and as soon as Kuyt's shoulder moved, Van der Sar quickly fell to the ground and stretched out his arm to block the direction of Kuyt's shot.
Seeing the direction in which Van der Sar fell to the ground, Kuyt knew that it was bad, Van der Sar judged the right direction, but there was no turning back from the bow, if Kuyt just didn't shoot, the defenders who followed behind would be destroyed, it was better to shoot a kick.
As you can imagine, Van der Sar was at his peak, reacted quickly, and kept up with his movements, and with a one-handed tap, Kuyt's shot was hit by him with the palm of his hand.
Another one-on-one goal was not scored, this time unfortunately it became the Liverpool side, fortunately it was Manchester United.
Listening to the exclamations in the stands, Benitez's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Pig! ”
Of course, Duff next to him knew who he was scolding, and he was not satisfied with Kuyt's handling of the single knife ball just now, and said: "What a good opportunity Chen Yu gave him, it was better to make it like this, it is better to go to Volenin." ”
Benitez said coldly: "I won't give him a third chance." ”
Duff shook his head speechlessly, playing against a team like Manchester United, how many good opportunities can there be, if it wasn't for the fact that the game had only passed for ten minutes, he should have been replaced now.
Assistant coach Alex sighed: "Except for Chen, no one else can seize the opportunity, which is really a headache." ”
It is indeed a headache, at present, Chen Yu is very tightly defended, there are not many opportunities to receive the ball, there are fewer shooting opportunities, and he can only use his containment to create opportunities for his teammates, but his teammates' ability to grasp is too poor, so that Liverpool's offensive threat has dropped by at least three percent, if Kuyt and others can seize the opportunity created by Chen Yu and attract Manchester United's defense, Chen Yu's pressure will be greatly reduced.
The corner kick was personally taken by Chen Yu, Gerrard originally wanted to make a free throw, let Chen Yu grab the point, Chen Yu considered that he was the key target, it was better to be a passer, so he robbed Gerrard and Alonso's serve.
The world knows that Chen Yu's shooting skills are the best in the world, in fact, his passing skills are also excellent.
Referee Webb blew a whistle, and Chen Yu sent a corner kick with an extremely tricky arc.
The ball was very erratic, it seemed to be spinning towards the goal line, and in the middle of the game, it seemed to be turning outside the penalty area, Van der Sar was so uncertain that he didn't dare to attack, so he could only stand on the goal line and wait.
Manchester United's players also couldn't judge the line of Chen Yu's pass, and could only passively follow Liverpool's point-grabbing players, so that Manchester United's defense was a beat slower, although they were numerous, the defense was passive, and the landing point was still grabbed by Liverpool's defender Carragher.
Carragher took the lead, but he was also disturbed at the moment when he hit the ball, and his body was hit by Vidic, who could have pushed into the bottom right corner nine times out of ten, but because of the unstable force, the top was deflected, and the ball was deflected off the post.
It was less than seven meters from the goal, and even soon the Manchester United thought it was over, the ball was definitely going to go in, but they didn't expect it to go in the end.
Benitez's face darkened and he scolded, "Bastard! Do you think it's a breakdown! ”
Duff said depressedly: "It's a second chance!" I didn't grasp the two opportunities, but if I grasped one, I would be able to fight today. ”
Chen Yu couldn't stop shaking his head when he stood in the corner flag area, even if Carragher's action was 0.1 seconds faster, the ball would be there, but football is like this, seizing opportunities is always the most difficult.
After the opening kick-off, both Manchester United and Liverpool had chances to score, but neither could take them, and after twenty minutes, both sides were open, but the defence was more careful, and there were fewer chances to score. The Reds continued to press and gave Liverpool little room to manoeuvre, but until the 40th minute of the game, the two teams had only created two chances from distance.
Look at the end of the first half, Manchester United's players are a little impatient, it turns out that the passing threat is still very rational, pass when there is a chance, and reverse the foot if there is no chance, waiting for Liverpool to have a flaw.
Now United have increased the number of passes into the box, and there are more players involved in the penalty area.
Attacking and defending is a contradiction, the offensive strength has increased, the defensive strength has decreased, Manchester United's offensive threat has increased a lot compared to the original, and the possibility of being counterattacked by Liverpool has also increased compared to the original.
Ferguson was in a bad mood, the half was almost over, and he still couldn't break the deadlock, this situation was good for Liverpool, not good for Manchester United, they were the side that had to win, so if it went on in the second half, the pressure on Manchester United would only be greater, so even if he saw his players playing more impatiently, Ferguson did not let the veterans control the tempo.
It's useless to fight step by step in front, so you just fight randomly, maybe it will have an unexpected effect.
Manchester United suddenly changed the rhythm so that Liverpool did not adapt, in the 41st minute of the game, Giggs and Rooney made a cross change, Rooney pulled the side, Giggs cut to the front of the penalty area, both of them are players with strong breakthrough ability, Liverpool was too nervous when defending, and Rooney opened the gap from the side and passed the ball to the back point.
At this moment, Giggs is cross-cutting, and Liverpool's players take it for granted that Rooney will pass to Giggs who cross-cut, or to Scholes and Carrick who are cutting forward, but they didn't expect Lu Xiaopang to have a heart and pass the ball to the back point.
Players with insufficient vision can't notice that there are grabbers at the back point, but those with wide vision can see Xiao Xiao Luo plugging in at high speed.
Finnan at the back point was still waiting for the ball, he just looked at Xiao Xiao Luo, did not think that he could arrive before he grabbed the landing point, Xiao Xiao Luo's speed was not slower than Chen Yu, when Finnan jumped up to prepare for a header, Xiao Xiao Luo just slapped the horse to arrive, jumped high, and pushed the ball above Finnan's head to the far corner of Liverpool's goal.
This header is powerful and heavy, without any interference, even if Reina arrives as fast as possible, it is impossible to stop Xiao Xiaoluo's header.
However, Ronaldo's ball luck was not good, and he chose a more awkward angle under Reina's intimidation, so that the ball hit the bottom of the goal post and bounced out.
Most of United's fans were half-standing with their arms outstretched, almost ready to cheer, and were so shaken by the post that they almost vomited blood.
"it!" Ferguson's nostrils were open, his breathing was heavy, his hands were clenched tightly, and he almost couldn't help but punch the windshield, but the situation in front of him was very dangerous, Liverpool had already started a quick counterattack before grabbing the ball, and he couldn't think about the ball that Xiao Xiao Luo had just missed, he quickly rushed to the sidelines, shouted at the players, and told them to hurry back to defense.
