Chapter 680: Red Devil's Iron Bucket Array

When referee Atkinson pulled out the red card, the Liverpool fans in the stadium cheered at the same time, and then stood up and applauded Atkinson.

This applause is for Atkinson, but also for Chen Yu.

The first half was more than exciting, Liverpool's highlight was Chen Yu's several breakthroughs, and now he has forced a meritorious veteran like Scholes to eat a red card, in addition to not scoring, Chen Yu's table can be described as impeccable.

“…… Scholes was sent off, this must be a yellow card, if it wasn't for Chen Yu to dodge, this is enough for Chen Yu, with Scholes's style of play, he will be sent off sooner or later, but being sent off in the first half is too bad for Manchester United. The first half was over soon, and so far, Liverpool have the upper hand, but they haven't been able to break through Manchester United's goal, it's not that Liverpool are not lucky enough, in fact they are lucky, if Manchester United have a little luck, it may be Manchester United who are leading now.

Liverpool's inability to score is mainly due to the lack of an overwhelming advantage in strength, and now Chen Yu uses his personal ability to force Scholes to go off the field, which directly changes the strength of the two sides, as long as Liverpool's luck is not too bad in the second half, they will definitely win this game ......"

Chinese commentator He Hui analyzed.

The "Sky Sports" commentator at the scene also said that Scholes's foul became a turning point in the game, although Manchester United was passive, but they were not without the possibility of winning, but now, one point has become Manchester United's only pursuit.

Scholes didn't go to the bench after coming off the pitch, but walked straight into the mixed aisle and went back to the dressing room.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, his face was very ugly, 11 against 1I Liverpool had the upper hand, now Manchester United have one less man, their advantage will be more obvious, but now is not the time to think about this, the priority is to prevent Liverpool's free kick, after the first half, he can study the countermeasures in the dressing room.

It was supposed to be the last chance of the first half, and Liverpool were desperate to get past the United goal, and although such a free-kick was more effective, all of Liverpool's headers rushed into the box to wait for the spot.

It was Gerrard who took the free kick, this position was a little outside the line of the big penalty area, the curling ball went around the human wall and there was no room to fall, Gerrard did not choose to pass the ball, and directly volleyed vigorously.

The ball bounced off the wall, the second point was picked up by Alonso, Alonso's header into the box, but it was once again pushed out by Manchester United's players, this time the landing point was still picked up by Liverpool, Reeser met the ball directly and volleyed vigorously, but the ball hit Carrick's body and deflected off the line.

However, Atkinson did not give Liverpool a chance to take a corner kick and blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After Scholes was sent off, Manchester United contracted their defense, stabilized their position, and was not beaten by Liverpool, but the players and fans were very heavy, and the Manchester United players hurriedly walked back to the dressing room, and the Manchester United fans were silent and didn't even bother to eat snacks.

Although Liverpool didn't score, the fans were happy as if they were ahead, singing, dancing and laughing as if they had won the game.

Compared with the optimism of the fans, Benitez in the dressing room is not so optimistic, the Spaniard is originally a pessimist, he feels that Manchester United was originally ready to win the draw, but the identity of the giants makes them unable to defend without face like a small club, and now they are sent off, Manchester United can put an iron bucket in the open, which is not a good thing for Liverpool, Manchester United is not Barcelona, their air defense is very strong, and at the same time, there are Rooney C Rogiggs who are fast and good counterattackers, If Liverpool can't attack, it is easy for Manchester United to counterattack.

'It's a good thing Paul Scholes was sent off, he was more of a midfield player than Michael Carrick, but we can't underestimate how difficult it will be for us to win, even with one man less Manchester United is better than some of the mid-table teams, and we have to guard against Manchester United playing a dense defensive ......'

Before Benitez could finish his sentence, Gerrard interjected: "Manchester United won't be so shameless, right? It's also a giant, and it's also a leader, even if you put down the bucket formation and win the game, how can you raise your head in front of the fans in the future? ”

Benitez shook his head and said: "Gerrard, think about Mourinho, 11 against 1I he also puts the bus in the same way, as long as he can win the championship, he is a hero, and he dares to call God second." There is no room for competitive football. ”

Gerrard smiled bitterly: "Can Mourinho compare with Ferguson, he sets the bus himself and scolds others for setting up the bus, that's really shameless." ”

Chen Yu said: "At the critical moment of the championship, it doesn't matter if you call Ferguson or Mourinho, it must be the championship first." ”

Benitez said: "Chen is right, but I just remind everyone not to underestimate the difficulty of the game, in fact, Scholes was sent off, our strength is much stronger than Manchester United, as long as you play hard, there is no problem with three points." ”

After Benitez reminded the players, he simply arranged the tactics of breaking the dense defense, breaking the dense defense is a worldwide problem, and there is no good trick, that is, headers and long-range shots, if the opponent's air defense is strong and the defense is excellent, that is, the number of shots is used to improve the success rate of shots, in fact, it is luck, good luck is there, bad luck is not, Benitez says too much and it is not interesting.

The break passed quickly, and 15 minutes later, the players of Manchester United and Liverpool walked out of the mixed tunnel, and the noisy stadium stands immediately burst into bursts of applause, and the song "You Will Never Go Alone" resounded in the ears of the players.

Similar to what Benitez expected, after playing one less, Ferguson quickly recognized the shape of shì, the hero does not suffer immediate losses, it is better to have a point of face, so Manchester United's Red Devils iron bucket array was also put up.

Benitez actually hoped that Manchester United would continue to play in the first half, but now, he can only bite the bullet and break Ferguson's iron bucket formation.

When Manchester United shrinks their defense, there are not only opportunities to pass the ball, but there will be many, and the important thing is not whether you can pass the ball, but whether you can grasp the opportunity to shoot.

In this case, Chen Yu played a bit of an overkill to play a defender, and after about five minutes of playing in the second half, Benitez let Chen Yu's position advance and became the team's winger, and Benitez also gave Chen Yu a lot of power, so that he could act cheaply in passing and shooting.

Manchester United played ten minutes in the second half and Ferguson made his first substitution decisively, with South Korean Park Ji-sung replacing striker Larsson.

Larsson's table is not bad, but Manchester United's current style of play is intensive defense and chicken stealing tactics, and there is no complicated coordination at all, what is needed is Rooney and Ronaldo such as Rooney and Ronaldo with excellent personal ability and fast players, Larsson is much worse than Rooney in this condition, so Ferguson's replacement of Larsson is correct, as for why Park Ji-sung is replaced by Park Ji-sung, it is because Park Ji-sung is famous for not running to death, he is full of physical energy, and he does not spare any effort when defending, with him in the midfield, Manchester United can alleviate the shortcomings of playing one less man in a certain way.

Seeing that Park Ji-sung got the opportunity to appear in this game that fans all over the world watched, Dongfang Zhuo, who was also sitting on the bench, was not happy, his compatriot Chen Yu was majestic on the field, and he also made a red card for Manchester United, and his neighboring teammate Park Ji-sung also got the opportunity to play, and he sat on the bench

Chen Yu has such an excellent appearance, Dongfang Zhuo only has envy, but he understands how big the gap between himself and Chen Yu is, but Park Ji-sung's appearance makes Dongfang Zhuo very jealous, he thinks that he is not worse than Park Ji-sung, and he can't play because Manchester United needs defense now, not offense.

Ferguson will not care about Dongfang Zhuo's idea of such a substitute striker in fifth place, if facing a weak team, Manchester United is leading by a large score, Ferguson may have the leisure to let Dongfang Zhuo go up to engage in the Chinese derby, and now Ferguson is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, how can he let Dongfang Zhuo go up to make trouble.

Chinese commentator He Hui said excitedly and regretfully: "Park Ji-sung is on the field, the Asian derby has kicked off, we can now intuitively look at the direct dialogue between the two top stars in Asia, in recent years, with the rise of Chen Yu, Chinese and South Korean fans are arguing about Chen Yu Park Ji-sung, who is more powerful, and now the opportunity has come, who is the hero and who is the bear, and it will be clear after forty-five minutes...... It's a pity that our domestic star Dongfang Zhuo didn't have the opportunity to play, judging from Manchester United's current shape, the possibility of Dongfang Zhuo playing is almost zero, but if you can get into the bench, you can play, I hope that if there is an opportunity, Dongfang Zhuo can calm down, Rome City is not built in a day, and Chen Yu is not played in a day. ”

Although Manchester United rarely has the opportunity to play dense defense, but when it comes to defensive counterattacks, these big-name stars of Manchester United are not ambiguous at all, including Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo, everyone has forgotten their star identities and put down their bodies to do the dirty work that blue-collar workers do.

Playing with a giant like Liverpool, the disadvantage of one less person is too great, and it is not that other players can make up for it by running more, now Manchester United is very motivated, but it can't stop Liverpool's attack, the second half just played 15 minutes, Manchester United has been shot more than the sum of the first half, which is enough to see the fierceness of Liverpool's offensive and the intensity of the goal.

In the first minute of the game, Liverpool played a wave of **, Chen Yu's cross from the right side of the penalty area was cleared by Ferdinand's header, Gerrard grabbed the second point, broke through to 1 left-footed volley, and the ball hit the defender and popped up.

Alonso chested the ball and passed, Chen Yu stabbed the ball between two defenders from goal, and Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar was magical, he saved with one hand, blocked the ball again, and defender Rio Ferdinand kicked it towards Liverpool's half.

It was an aimless clearance, but it was another counter-attack opportunity for United, with Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo rushing out of the crowd like wolves and scurrying towards Liverpool's half to try to get their hands on the ball.

But at the moment Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was already standing outside the penalty area, and he rushed forward like a defender to head the ball to the full-back Reiser standing in the United half of the field before Wayne Rooney.

Reese also struggled, and when he was still 40 metres from goal, he pulled his foot and fired a fierce shot, but Sissoko blocked the ball and the ball stopped just in time for Crouch, who turned and volleyed home.

After the goal, Crouch ran wildly and the fans stood up, but referee Atkinson ignored it, and he signaled that Sissoko had just blocked it for offside, so Crouch's goal was invalidated.

A flurry of attacks was played quickly and fluidly, and a succession of shots looked like they were not far from the goal, but the final offside decision was a big blow to the Liverpudlians' morale.

At this moment, the Liverpool players finally realized that Benitez was right in the dressing room, Manchester United with one less man is not easy to play, in a sense it is more difficult to play, because when the two sides met in the first half, Manchester United invested a lot of troops in the attack, it can be said that as long as Liverpool seized the key moment of Manchester United's offensive and defensive transition, they got much better offensive opportunities than now.

And now, Liverpool's shots at any time are barely carried out under the opposition's tight defense, it is difficult to get power, and with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar's magical swing, Liverpool's shots look hopeless.

At this time, even the commentators were a little deflated, Hansen said: "Manchester United does not want blood, they chose to be pragmatic, in the face of Manchester United's dense defense, Liverpool people are helpless, they can cross on the side, shoot from the middle, and grab points in the penalty area, but these are carried out in the sandwich defense of Manchester United players, the effect is not good at all, and now it seems that Liverpool still has to rely on luck if they want to win." ”

Chinese commentator He Hui said: "Liverpool's attack still needs a little imagination and creativity, otherwise it may not be effective by conventional means, unless you are very lucky." ”

Benitez realized this, he changed two players in one go, Argentina's new defender Mascherano came on to replace Sissoko, now Manchester United has almost no attacking power, the technical rough, offensive incompetent Sissoko is not very useful, and the delicate and faster Mascherano can help Liverpool in both attack and defense.

Garcia comes on to replace Kuyt.

Although Kuyt is positive and now has a reputation as a model worker, he is a bit rigid compared to Garcia, and he does not have as much aura as Garcia. And at this time, Liverpool is in need of aura too much.

After Garcia and Mascherano came on the field, Liverpool's midfield had two Spanish players and an Argentine player, plus Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield went from wide open to short passes, especially Mascherano, Manchester United's players are not familiar with his characteristics, so that Mascherano passes good balls from time to time.

Seeing Benitez deploying troops, Ferguson has nothing to do, he only has one substitution place, if the three places are full, Manchester United has another injury number, and he can only play 9 to 1I, which is really looking for death. What's more, the situation is very delicate now, if you change the defensive players now, and Liverpool scores later, Manchester United will have no attacking players, so Ferguson can only wait.

The game has been played for 75 minutes, this time is the most difficult time, the players on both sides are gritting their teeth and insisting, whoever can't hold on first may lose this battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After making two substitutions in a row and still unable to score, Benitez finally showed his anxiety, standing on the sidelines and making pressure gestures at the players, telling the players to hurry up and attack.

In fact, at this time, Liverpool's players have been pressed very closely, the defenders are about to overwhelm Manchester United's half, and the goalkeeper is also standing outside the big penalty area.

But the draw is unacceptable to Benitez, if this game is drawn, the gap between them and Manchester United is U points, Manchester United still has the advantage of goal difference, it is too difficult to expect Manchester United to lose two games in 9 games, and what Benitez does not want to see is that if they draw and Chelsea beat Portsmouth, Chelsea will be second with two points from Liverpool, with two opponents in front, the hope of winning the championship is definitely smaller, and the probability of counting on the two teams to make mistakes is lower.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool fans were very optimistic, feeling that 11 to 1k had the advantage, and 11 to 1o was not easy, but Ferguson's iron bucket formation broke Liverpool's dream of scoring goals, watching Liverpool's players spin around the Manchester United penalty area, like a tiger eating the sky, nowhere to eat, Liverpool fans were anxious and afraid, they all stood up, this time no longer singing "You will never walk alone", but changed the lyrics, singing "Ferguson, you are a shrunken turtle, Manchester United will never be Liverpool. ”

Liverpool fans tried to provoke Manchester United's players and coaches, but the more they did this, the happier Manchester United players and coaches became, they knew that the opponent was in a hurry, the opponent was scared, and as long as they continued to play this way, Liverpool was likely to collapse.

Manchester United's ideas are very good, they also have a tenacious fighting spirit that is not less than Liverpool, and they also have a brave spirit that is no less than Liverpool.

However, Ferguson and Manchester United have forgotten about it, there are always a lot of accidents on the football field, and there is also a Chen Yu among their opponents, which they cannot control.

Chen Yu has been silent for a long time, he didn't have any outstanding swings in the entire second half, in fact, all the players in Liverpool didn't have any swings, including goalkeeper Reina, in the face of dense defense, only scoring can be counted as swinging, and other tactics are difficult to make.

However, Chen Yu is not idle, he has been thinking about ways to break the goal, at this time, Ribery's consciousness has no effect, Chen Yu, who has been staying in the penalty area, has replaced his consciousness with Vanney's, Chen Yu believes that under Liverpool's continuous attack, he will definitely encounter opportunities, he binds the consciousness of the king of the small penalty area, and the probability of breaking the goal will definitely be higher than binding Ribery.
