1452 Muscle Duel
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking for a moment, the starters of both teams are already playing.
The much-anticipated English derby is finally about to begin!
Huh!
How did the corners of Evans' mouth break?
Rooney's shirt was rotten on the side
Is De Gea's chicken nest head the new trend?
Evra's face seemed to be swollen
Why is Qin Xiong's jersey so dirty? It's like rolling on the ground.
Why did Suarez seem to be limping with inconvenient legs when he first appeared?
Gerald also seemed to have blood on the corner of his mouth
Oh my God, what the hell is going on?! ”
"If nothing else, there must have been a fierce clash between the two teams in the players' tunnel just now! Physical Altercation! ”
"That's why kick-off was delayed."
Martin Taylor was dumbfounded.
After a long time, he said: "Okay, I believe there will definitely be inside news after the game, so let's put these things behind for the time being."
Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.
Manchester United started 442.
Goalkeeper: David De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.
Midfielders: Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Ryan Giggs.
Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Welbeck.
Manchester United looked to be on the verge of playing at home today, and after using the 4231 and failing to fend off Liverpool, Ferguson reactivated the 442 formation.
Liverpool started 4312.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.
Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard, Tiot.
Forwards: Suarez, Qin Xiong.
It looks like it's going to be a tough game again, Liverpool's midfield configuration is really enviable, will they make waves at Old Trafford today? Let's wait and see. ”
The clash in the tunnel continued into the playing field.
Koeman gave the team an order before the game: be brave to fight the Manchester United today!
Liverpool have never been too lazy to compete with their opponents in the past, but today, the Reds took the initiative to show the Red Devils their muscle strength!
From the very beginning, the game smelled of gunpowder.
In the second minute of the game, Rooney retreated in front of the court to respond, and when Tiott came up from diagonally behind to press, Rooney staggered and slipped to the ground.
The referee blew for a foul on Tiot and gave him a warning.
United were unfazed, and when Baines dribbled forward in the fifth minute of the game to launch a counter-attack, Valencia's ferocious tackle almost sent Baines off the touchline, but fortunately Baines dodged in time.
Valencia were also cautioned by the referee.
The game couldn't go on smoothly at all.
Both teams ruined the game almost like beasts.
In the 9th minute of the game, the first yellow card was born.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard's tackle on Paul Scholes earned him a yellow card.
Three minutes later, Patrice Evra, who was a little embarrassed by Suarez's guerrilla tactics in the tunnel, almost threw Suarez to the ground with a takedown on the back waistline!
Patrice Evra also received a yellow card!
Qin Xiong's direct free-kick from outside the box gave De Gea an almost own goal.
He made a save and saw the ball roll towards the goalline, and De Gea swooped in to get the ball out of the line with one hand.
The Liverpool crowd raised their hands to signal the ball to score, but the referee didn't say anything!
"Liverpool should take the lead! Slow-motion replays show that the goal has most likely crossed the goal line! ”
"Oh, come on, Jamie, stop saying nice things about Liverpool, be objective, football is not counted, can you please know more about the rules?"
"Gary, you're not Hawkeye, why do you say that the football didn't cross the goal line in its entirety at that moment?"
The fierce confrontation on the pitch continued.
In the 16th minute of the game, Giggs crossed from the side, Welbeck jumped up with Skrtel in the penalty area to compete for a header, Skrtel's arm was raised a little high, Welbeck's face was touched by Skrtel's arm, Welbeck covered his face and protested to the referee after landing!
"Look, it's a penalty! Skrtel clearly used his arm to press after the jump, and to make matters worse, he hit Welbeck in the face with an arm! It's a penalty! ”
"Gary, you're a defender, you know better than anyone else that it's normal to act like that, don't be here to find trouble! Penalty kick? If it were a penalty, United would have to get a penalty every time they crossed. ”
In the 21st minute of the game, the deadlock on the field was finally broken.
In the mid-field scuffle, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes lost control of the ball at the same time as they scrambled.
Alonso, who followed up, kept the ball without stopping the ball and sent the ball to the left side in front of the penalty area with a long pass close to the ground.
As soon as Qin Xiong stopped the ball here, he felt that there was someone behind him.
Rafael's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is also infected by the clash between the two teams in the players' tunnel, and he rushes directly to put a shovel behind his back.
Qin Xiong had figured out what to do before he put the shovel.
He knocked the ball behind him, then turned around Rafael who rushed up and landed on the tackle.
The back man has the ball!
Qin Xiong, who regained possession of the ball on the edge of the penalty area, faced Rio Ferdinand.
Qin Xiong's eyes were on De Gea, and in Ferdinand's eyes, Qin Xiong was observing the goalkeeper's position.
Then he saw Qin Xiong make a posture of shooting with his feet.
Ferdinand subconsciously went to block it head-on.
But he didn't expect Qin Xiong's fallen foot to move the ball past him.
Fake shot! Really ever!
Qin Xiong wiped past Ferdinand and then faced De Gea, this time he was just about to get up, and Carrick, who rushed up from behind, knocked Qin Xiong to the ground!
"This should be a penalty!"
Jamie Redknapp exclaimed in the live broadcast room!
Gary Neville opened his mouth to say something, the referee had already blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.
Ferdinand rushed forward angrily, shouting in front of the referee and pointing to the halfway belt, signalling that the referee should stop the game before Liverpool's attack, believing that the Reds captain had committed a clear foul in the scramble between Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes.
However, the referee ignored it, and Ferguson also went to the sidelines to protest against the fourth official.
The Theatre of Dreams was booed at Old Trafford.
As soon as Qin Xiong set up the football at the penalty spot, Evra kicked the ball away from the side, Qin Xiong immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sick?" Or just keep finishing the unfinished stuff in the tunnel now! Or just get out of the way, like a child who hasn't grown up, what do you think such childish behavior, like a prank, can change? Idiot! ”
As soon as Qin Xiong's words fell, Evra immediately walked towards him and asked, "What are you talking about me?" ”
"I'll just say you're stupid! How? Are idiots going to be bastards now? Come on! ”
The referee found that something was wrong and immediately rushed in front of Qin Xiong, blocked between the two, and then warned Evra.
Patrice Evra has a yellow card on him and the referee has to remind him that if nothing happens, he will be sent off!
That's when Evra turned away with an unhappy face. (To be continued.) )
