Manchester United's fierce attack gave Liverpool more attacking opportunities.

But not every attack is as good as it could be.

Liverpool began to adjust their strategy.

Liverpool themselves do not need to engage in a high-risk offensive battle with Manchester United.

In such a situation, Liverpool began to control the situation in midfield steadily.

Qin Xiong retreated slightly to the midfield, and controlled the midfield with Gerrard and Alonso.

In the 38th minute of the game, the trio made a triangular pass one after another, when Park Ji-sung, Scholes, and Nani came to make a crazy rush, Qin Xiong ran forward from the left wing, Alonso sent the ball to his feet with a diagonal pass, and at the same time Gerrard ran forward, and the Reds attacked and invaded Manchester United's back line.

Qin Xiong controlled the ball close to the wing, attracting Valencia to defend, and then he passed the ball diagonally back to Gerrard, and then made his own inward run.

His movement made both Ferdinand and Carrick nervous.

Gerrard kicked the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet, but at this time, Qin Xiong suddenly stopped and ran backwards, took the initiative to respond, and stayed away from the goal.

He did so with his own intentions.

Especially in this way, Rio Ferdinand, Carrick, Valencia all came to his side and were pinned down by him, and he did not take the initiative to attack the opponent head-on, on the contrary, he retreated, creating space and handling the ball himself became much easier.

After stopping the ball, Qin Xiong glanced at the situation in the penalty area.

Raul was marked by Nemanjac Vidic, but due to the **** of Manchester United's defense, Raul's area was still empty.

At this time, Kuyt cut inside the box strongly.

Qin Xiong teleported out diagonally with one foot over the top on the spot.

The ball flew over the heads of Vidic and Raul, who turned to look in horror only to see Kuyt shake off Evra and rush into the box. Header forward to the falling football in the corner of the small penalty area!

The football flew vigorously towards Manchester United's goal, Van der Sar subconsciously raised his head to block, and the football happened to be hit by his fist and flew out diagonally!

Kuyt sighed and raised his hand to Qin Xiong, on the one hand, he praised Qin Xiong's good passing.

On the other hand, it is to apologize.

He didn't grasp such a God-given opportunity!

"Liverpool's attack this time made Manchester United break out in a cold sweat! We can clearly see Liverpool's attacking thinking from the replay, Qin Xiong and Steven Gerrard are working together in front of the field to constantly draw Manchester United's defensive strength to the left side. Then create space for the right side of the attack, and then feed the right flank attack point Kuyt, this is the great wisdom of Liverpool's attack, but unfortunately this time Kuyt failed to take the opportunity, but it doesn't matter, Liverpool's style of play makes Manchester United difficult to parry, they should still be able to create chances. ”

United launched a long ball in the 41st minute.

Nani ran up front to the right and latched on to Scholes' pass, then linked up with Rooney, who ran over to get his way down the wall, and he went down the right flank around Baynes. The touch was followed by a cross.

Hernandez couldn't get a point this time under the mark of Ag.

However, Ager's header cleared the ball and landed at the feet of Wayne Rooney.

Alonso's desperate scramble was deflected away by Rooney's deflection of the ball, and then Rooney completed a heavy shot from outside the box!

The ball flew slightly over the crossbar and the Red Devils fans in the stands let out another sigh of disappointment.

Liverpool unleashed a long ball from the back and Patrice Evra headed the ball out of bounds before Kuyt.

After driving the sideline ball, Liverpool quickly shifted the attack to Qin Xiong's side.

This time, Qin Xiong directly relied on himself to break through and advance the offensive.

Because Qin Xiong staged a long-distance run when he scored the first goal of the game, if he wants to break through, it will inevitably cause the Manchester United players to be highly vigilant.

When he came to the left side of the penalty area, Park Ji-sung. Carrick, Valencia. Ferdinand blocked his way with a fan.

It is almost impossible for him to break through to success.

Qin Xiong didn't intend to make a full push either, as he suddenly rolled the ball diagonally back, and the ball rolled to the feet of Alonso, who sent a precise straight ball to the ground.

The ball penetrated through the middle and rushed past Vidic, Raul started to shake off Vidic and rush towards goal, at which point Van der Sar abandoned the goal early and decisively. He bravely blocked all of Raul's shots with his body when Raul was shooting, and when Raul was about to shoot, the ball hit Van der Sar's shoulder and bounced off the line.

Raul stopped the car next to the goalpost, and he held the doorpost with one hand, looking down at the look he didn't know what it would be. Maybe it's helplessness, maybe it's more motivation, it's a top-level fight, shouldn't it be exciting?

Although the game was approaching the end of the first half, United never wanted to delay the time, and they had to race against time to complete the comeback, only two goals away!

Just when they were rushing to seize the time before the end of the first half to attack, they made a mistake!

Midfielder Carrick's pass to Rooney was cut off by Alonso!

Alonso counter-attacked immediately after the break, pointing parallel to the right flank, apparently signalling Johnson.

Let Johnson boldly assist up!

Johnson immediately moved forward and Alonso's pass came as expected.

Johnson began to stride the ball forward.

The offensive of the Red Army unfolded from the right flank, and it did not look like there was any sign of a shift in direction at all.

Johnson, Gerrard, Kuyt, and the trio formed a triangular pass system to quickly advance the offense.

This forced the United backline to move quickly to the right.

Just as the offensive was underway, Koeman, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but smile in the tense atmosphere.

As the manager of this group of players, Koeman was amazed by their creativity!

When Qin Xiong takes the lead on the left flank, United will inevitably focus on defending Kuyt and Raul's attacking points.

But what?

This is just so that Qin Xiong can be liberated!

And the rest of Liverpool's players can also understand Qin Xiong's tactical intentions in the front field.

This is the coordination between genius and genius.

Liverpool have a true duo!

When Steven Gerrard played the ball back to Kuyt in front of the box, Patrice Evra immediately turned to block Kuyt's cross.

However, Kuyt knocked the ball back to Johnson in the top corner of the box.

Gerrard cut inside the box and Raul pulled towards the right side of the box.

Carrick, Vidic, Ferdinand are all moving to their side, no way, they have to move, or else?

Johnson was able to give the opponent a shot in the box with a short pass, which is absolutely not allowed.

However, as they moved, the left half of the box was almost open! (To be continued.) )
