The first half of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester United ended when Steven Gerrard couldn't see the ball and could only finish with a long-range shot, and the football flying into the stands made the Reds fans feel a little worried.

The Red Devils will be in high spirits after hearing the referee blow the final whistle for the first half!

They managed to fend off Liverpool for 45 minutes, which would have encouraged the Reds in a smooth season, but could have left Liverpool in a state of agitation and panic.

The players of both teams returned to the dressing room.

Koeman saw the players whispering and discussing the content of the first half.

Koeman's mind was actually a little messy.

Because in 45 minutes, Liverpool's frontal attack did not play well, which in itself was very demoralizing.

It's not that the players are not performing well, but that the technical and tactical confrontation in this game can really be described as-for-tat.

After a short period of thought, Coman made the decision.

When the interruption continues, it will be disturbed!

Rather than playing the half with the unknown, it is better to be firm and concentrate on attacking in a way that at least allows the team to unify their thinking.

It's also to avoid Liverpool really getting caught up in a situation where they are overwhelmed or out of touch in the second half.

Because Liverpool will have too much!

There are a lot of attacking tools that he is good at, if someone wants to cross from the wing, someone wants to penetrate in the middle, someone wants to raid alone, and someone wants to rely on set-pieces

Because Liverpool are good at so much, everyone wants to surprise when the attack is blocked. Then it is possible to think differently. It is impossible for the whole team to be united.

This is different from the team ideological divide that most teams will commit. The mistakes that most teams make in the game are basically the players who don't have the same offensive and defensive thinking.

Some want to attack, some want to defend, which leads to confusion and collapse of the formation.

Liverpool's potential problems are much higher than this, but again, if not avoided, the consequences are equally dire.

And the blow will be even heavier!

Coman clapped his hands, and the applause turned everyone's eyes to him.

Koeman said to everyone: "We have seen what Manchester United have come to our turf with in mind. In the second half, we had to focus first on containing Manchester United's counter-attack, and secondly, in attack, we had to unify our thinking, and now you have to listen to me, the second half was dominated by long-range threats.

Qin Xiong, you have to play a role on the edge of the penalty area and create space for the middle to insert, Park Ji-sung and Rooney are very active in the wings, they are the main ones who need to be distracted.

Gerrard. You try to contain Carrick and shock Evra as much as you can.

Mereles and Alonso, you will be the main attackers for long-range shots!

My request to you is simple. Shoot the ball into the range of goal, whether it's blocked by an opposition defender or saved by Van der Sar!

Raul, you have to be more aggressive in the box, and if a long-range shot from a team-mate in the back row creates chaos in the box, you have to be able to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

Baines, Johnson, you have to pass the ball to Qin Xiong and Gerrard more and create opportunities for them to contain the opponent!

Lads, it was a tough game today, Man Match was more prepared than we thought, they came prepared and we have to beat them as a team! Now mentally prepare to go out and fight! ”

The Red Army generals stood up and shouted in unison: "Okay, boss!" ”

This should be the first time Koeman has given orders in front of Liverpool's generals in the same way as operational instructions.

Despite the big names in the team, no player felt that Koeman had to do this, and even everyone responded to Koeman's order at the first time.

After walking out of the players' tunnel, the Red Army generals walked into the stadium with a dignified attitude.

The Reds must have listened to Alex Ferguson at half-time and were still cautious and cautious about the second half.

At the start of the second half, Liverpool was like a precision machine, with all the members of the team doing their part.

In the 52nd minute, United launched a counter-attack from the flank, and after Valencia dribbled the ball forward past half-time, he immediately passed the ball to Carrick in the middle, who quickly moved the ball to the left side of the field.

The defense in the middle of Liverpool's midfield had just leaned towards Valencia's side, but United immediately adjusted their defense after playing a game.

Ryan Giggs watched the attacking movement in the middle as he pushed forward quickly, and this time Rooney and Hernandez both followed up front.

When he came to Johnson with the football, he made a cross, Johnson immediately raised his foot to block, but he didn't expect the Premier League evergreen Giggs to dunk the ball at his feet, he dunked Johnson, and then cut into the penalty area!

"Johnson was broken by Ryan Giggs! Liverpool penalty area dangerous! ”

Ferguson got up slightly from the dugout again, the Red Devils Manchester United this game can be described as a lie on the side, in the face of being suppressed by Liverpool on the field, to survive in the cracks, to fight a bright way in the dark!

The counter-attack was beautiful, and it also allowed Ryan Giggs to break through one of the opposing players, in other words, the United closed the gap in terms of the number of attackers and defenders.

Now it's up to the final link of the attack in the penalty area!

As soon as Ryan Giggs found himself in the box, Alonso and Skrtel immediately formed a link-up to block his passing path and angle.

At the critical moment, Rooney slanted behind Skrtel, Giggs knocked the ball diagonally to the bottom line, and the football rolled to Rooney's feet, Scottel immediately raised his hand to signal Rooney offside, and quickly looked back, the linesman did not raise the flag!

Wayne Rooney was in possession near the baseline, he didn't have an angle, or he didn't fantasize about scoring from a near-zero angle.

At this time, he can only find one person: Hernandez, the little pea!

He saw Little Pea's running position, diagonally behind Ag!

It would definitely not be offside, because Skrtel's return to the bottom of the penalty area was dragged at the end.

Rooney made a quick decision and picked up the ball at his feet to the back of the goal!

As the ball flew over the heads of Skrtel, Reyna and Agger towards the back of goal, Hernandez had only to head diagonally into the empty net.

The hearts of all Reds fans were in their throats, and the Reds fans were watching Hernandez with great anticipation.

Just as Hernandez was preparing to head the ball, he felt someone on his right side of his body.

Baines!

Baines unexpectedly competed with Hernandez for position, and he made the little pea Hernandez almost lose his balance, because Hernandez had been staring at the ball and Baines was out of his field of vision, so he was unprepared.

The ball hit Hernandez's head and bounced to the sideline!

Liverpool escaped! (To be continued.) )
