Chapter 103: George Moment
"Pay attention. Don't take a foul in front of the penalty area. Give the opponent a free kick opportunity. Dudek got up from his up. Shouting a reminder to his teammates.
"Don't worry. We know what to do. No more free kicks will be given to the opponent to shoot directly at goal. "Hear Dudek's words. Hyypia nodded suddenly.
The second half has been going on for more than ten minutes. The last bit of the first half. Neither side scored either. I could only reluctantly accept the result of a draw to end the first half of the game.
But since the start of the second half. Manchester United are looking at goals that cannot be scored in open play. Tactics suddenly changed. Start leaning on set-pieces. David Beckham, in particular, looked for a free-kick to find the back of the net.
The 16th minute of the game. It was Traore who brought down the "weak" Scholes on the edge of the box. It was a free-kick opportunity from a good position for Manchester United. In fact, Traore was also depressed. Scholes wasn't that strong, though. But it's not so thin that you can get a step with a gentle push.
Manchester United's free-kicks are generally Beckham's patent. Although the relationship between Beckham and manager Alex Ferguson at this time was as similar to that of the Cold War. But no matter what. Manchester United's free-kick went to David Beckham alone. On this point. Even Ferguson didn't say anything.
So the free-kick opportunity created by Paul Scholes just now was met by David Beckham. Beckham was also unceremonious. Straight with his signature full moon scimitar free kick. Direct Attack.
Maybe it's because Beckham's free-kick is so famous and sharp. Dudek didn't dare to be careless. I was stunned and cheered up. Saved David Beckham's free-kick.
However, after saving David Beckham's free-kick. Dudek couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Beckham's free-kick was very far from a twist. That's definitely a dead end in the sense of football. If it weren't for Beckham's free-kick this time, it wasn't very fast. I'm afraid Manchester United are going to score a lead.
So after saving Beckham's free-kick. Dudek got up from his top and immediately reminded his teammates. Dudek wasn't sure he would be able to save David Beckham's free-kick every time.
Beckham's corner. This time Liverpool did not give Manchester United any chance. Hypia, which is the needle of Liverpool's seagod. With the advantage of his height. Grab it directly in the first place. Got the ball out.
Hyypia's ball was suddenly met by Keane from just outside the box. I saw the ball flying towards me. Keane was overjoyed. Rushed towards the ball. Don't wait for the ball to fall. Kick directly into the body of the ball.
The temper suddenly flew towards the goal like a cannonball. But because there are too many people in the restricted area. Keane's shot was blocked by his teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy. Then he was grabbed by Carragher on the side. Distribute the ball to Murphy on the wing. Orn's shot was blocked. Carragher grabs the ball. Passed the ball to Murphy. Murphy shifted the ball to Steven Gerrard on the left. Liverpool are starting to hit back. Manchester United need to be careful. ”
In fact, there is no need for a narrator to remind you. The Manchester United players on the pitch could see that Liverpool were playing a quick counter-attack. I didn't see Liverpool's attacking players rushing towards their goal like crazy people. See here. How dare the Manchester United players be careless. Suddenly chased back desperately towards his own backfield.
But how can the degree of man be compared to the degree of the ball? But Giggs managed to chase a distance of more than 20 meters. When I finally caught up with Gerald. Gerrard immediately passed the ball to Colwill in front.
Facing Neville who pounced. Colwill immediately knocked the ball to George. And he continued to run towards the front. of the pass to Colwill. I saw that Cowell was moving forward at a high level. George didn't hesitate. Once again, he slid the ball straight in front of Colwill. The two made a two-by-one. Past Neville's defence.
"!" Saw Cowell and George make a one-two past Neville. And Colwill also began to cut inside. Sylvester couldn't help but scold. Gave up George on the side. Towards Cowell.
"Good chance!" Saw Sylvester give up defending George. Rushing towards himself. Cowell was overjoyed. Stuff the ball straight into the box.
Seeing that George actually had a chance to single the ball. Nor did O'Shea not give up his own guarding Husky. Rushing towards George. What Husky is still guarded now. George was about to shoot a solo shot. It's a fart not to defend George, the shooter, to defend Husky.
Just received a through ball from Colwill. George rushed over to O'Shea. degrees are fast. See here. George thought for a moment in a very short time. After determining that there is no time to make adjustments. Immediately used his heel to cross the ball to the unguarded Heskey.
"Good chance!" I saw George pass the ball through. And there is no one in front of him at the moment. All that's left is Manchester United goalkeeper Barthez. Husky couldn't help but be secretly happy. Stopped the ball and calmly adjusted. The left foot suddenly pushes the shot. Hit the far corner of the goal.
Barthez does feel like a person is crazy. And I especially like to play clever and get rid of it. But there's no denying it. Barthez is definitely one of the top goalkeepers in the world. Especially when Barthez saves the ball. That's definitely the best level in the world.
Facing Husky's push. Barthez reacted immediately. Immediately fell. He straightened his left leg. Prepare to intercept Husky's push.
No, don't say it. Being short also has the benefit of being short. Barthez is not tall. Plus the response is fast. So Barthez made a save in a very short time.
"Great save!" Feel your foot touch the ball. Barthez couldn't help but be secretly happy. Manchester United fans who began to fantasize about the entire Old Trafford stadium. All of them shouted loudly in the scene of their own face.
"Otez. Once again, the French goalkeeper made a great save. Stopped Husky's imperative goal. It's so beautiful. Barthez's save this time was simply amazing. O's not good.! Alan George. When everyone forgets. George finally appeared on the deadliest side. Goal from the stoppage. ”
Originally. Barthez managed to block Husky's shot. But the ball wasn't held in Barthez's arms. The ball changed direction due to the collision of Barthez's foot. Roll towards the side of the goal.
And this time. George, who has always been very attentive. Suddenly, at the moment when Husky shot. Hold in case Husky doesn't score. Stopped by Barthez. The idea of going to make up for it. Rushed towards the goal.
Although even George himself couldn't believe it. Husky was in that kind of undisturbed. And a square shot ten meters from the goal. There will be a chance to make up shots.
But it was George's idea of guaranteeing foolproof. Make George's to a huge harvest. Husky's shot was blocked by Barthez. See this scene. George was overjoyed. Rush towards the ball. Shoot with a light kick. The ball rolls into the goal. As for Manchester United's goalkeeper Barthez. At the moment, he sat on the top and did not stand up. However, he couldn't stop George's shot.
"!" At the moment when George scored. All Manchester United fans. Including Manchester United players and manager Alex Ferguson. They all scolded in their hearts.
"It's a pity. It's a shame. If only I had been able to take advantage of the bankruptcy of the former chairman of Liverpool last time. I'm afraid of a young player as good as George. It will be tomorrow. I came to Old Trafford to report. Now everything has settled down for Liverpool. And then I want to bring George to Old Trafford. It has become an idea not to show. No way. Seeing George was destined to miss me. I'm going to focus on that talented kid at Everton. ”
Meet George as he celebrates. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson couldn't help but keep his eyes on George. Many thoughts keep popping up in my head.
Ferguson wondered. What kind of magic does this George have? To be able to do so at such a young age. With such a perfect football talent. It has all the qualities that a striker needs. And it's all first-class.
More importantly, it is. Why every time Liverpool and Manchester United meet. This George always had a great performance. It's not goals that have assists. Damn it. Manchester United doesn't seem to have much to blame for this kid. How did this kid fight. Manchester United came to play so hard.
Think of when George met Manchester United. It's like Samuel Eto'o played with Real Madrid. And time and time again, there are gains. Ferguson wondered. Samuel Eto'o plays Real Madrid. That's because Samuel Eto'o is a veteran of Real Madrid. For his time at Real Madrid, he was not taken seriously and reused. There is a deep hatred. But thinking about himself and Manchester United, it seems that he didn't have any trouble with George. But George has only ever stepped into the English ring. I can't get along with Manchester United. This made Ferguson the most depressed.
Actually, Ferguson didn't know. The reason why George played Manchester United so hard. That's all because Manchester United are strong. According to the words of Michael Owen before. Play against other teams. You can score a hat-trick in a game. It's not as good as scoring a goal against Manchester United.
It was Owen who said this to George. Every time George runs into Manchester United. They all take the game against Manchester United very seriously. Immerse yourself in the game. So George didn't have a single time when he was at Liverpool against Manchester United. All have excellent performances.
If only Ferguson had known that George was playing so hard for Manchester United. It's all because of Owen's words. I'm afraid Ferguson will really look for a gun. Rush to Owen's house for a massacre.
"It's just like that for Manchester United." George being celebrated. Look at the fans and players of Manchester United. I thought to myself. Because George thought. Liverpool playing against a weak team. It's not easy to score goals. But against Manchester United. It seems like there's always a chance to score.
In fact, George was wrong to think so. It doesn't matter what happens to Manchester United. Manchester United is Manchester United. There is no doubt about the strength. It's just because of the strength of the Manchester United team. Manchester United will attack like crazy. When Manchester United went on attack. Then the defense will be slack. That's what gave George a chance. You can have a quick counterattack. Goal from the stoppage.
The underdogs are in the face of a strong Liverpool. However, he didn't dare to play against Liverpool like Manchester United. Even if you think about it, you don't have the strength of Manchester United. So when the underdog meets Liverpool. It's usually a defensive counter-attack. Strengthen the defense. So. The feeling for George is that it is difficult to score.
But Manchester United is different. As a British overlord. Manchester United have dignity of their own. At the same time, the strength is vaguely stronger than Liverpool's first line. What's more, this time it's at Old Trafford. It's a home game at Manchester United. So no matter how you look at it. Manchester United also have no need to defend. What Manchester United need is attacking and attacking.
It is because of such a crazy attack by Manchester United. The back line is very porous. That's what allowed Liverpool to seize the opportunity. Score of the broken goal.
"Hmph, that's it. Manchester United is no different. "The celebration is over. George was heading towards the backcourt. Get ready to start the game again. I saw that Keane, the captain of Manchester United, was also walking towards him. Obviously ready to wait for the rematch. See this scene. George deliberately passed Keane's side. In a voice that only two people can hear. It seems to be a verbal statement.
"What did you say!" Hear George look down on himself and Manchester United. Keane was furious. Eyes glared at George and yelled.
"Haven't you heard what I just said. You don't have to doubt it. There is nothing wrong with your ears. That's what I mean. That's just the way it is. If you don't feel good. to score. Come and beat us. ”
See Keane with an angry face. George couldn't help but say coldly. Then he ignored Keane and gave him a look. Turn around and walk away.
"You kid. You gave you a memory. "I saw George, who had an arrogant face. Keane is really on the verge of exploding at the moment. He looked at George with a hideous face. While constantly insulting.
"Please pay attention. Keep your emotions under control. I don't want anything unpleasant. "The referee who has always been more "careful" of Keane. After seeing that Keane was a little unusual. Immediately rushed over. Said to Keane with a serious face.
". You're old. It turned out to be on Lao Tzu's head. Seeing that the referee rushed over at this time. Keane cursed inwardly. But Keane is a veteran player after all. I didn't go to the branch because of this. It's just that he keeps insulting the referee in his heart. And did not say it.
For the referee who has always been very "caring" of himself. Keane really didn't have a good impression of the referee at all. After listening to the referee's words. Didn't even nod his head. Turn around and walk away. Leave an embarrassed referee behind.
Keane didn't know. It is precisely because I have done so. Don't give the referee a little face. The referee was very embarrassed. The rest of the game. The more they began to favor Liverpool's side.
With Liverpool's goal. The Manchester United players are in a hurry. It's not long before the end of the race. And in their own home stadium was also led by Liverpool. What can you do if you don't desperately chase the score?
What. You said there was one more round. I'm afraid even Manchester United fans and players don't think so. has been able to do so in the next round. Victories and comebacks at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium. You must know that this season's referee of Liverpool is the most famous devil's home stadium in England. Liverpool since the start of the new season. They haven't lost a game on their home turf.
However, the more United wanted to equalise. The more anxious you are, the more you can't score a goal. Opposite. It is precisely because of the mentality of the Manchester United players that there is a problem. Finally gave Liverpool another chance. Once again, George has added a handful of salt to United's wounds.
3rd minute of the second half. Once again, United's attack was in vain. This time, though, Liverpool didn't prepare Manchester United defensively. Dudek kicked the ball straight into midfield.
Dudek's big kick. George in midfield and Manchester United's O'Shea both jumped at the same time. Although O'Shea is taller. But George's power is great. Stand better. Knock the ball back to Hamann, who is cutting forward.
But when George fell. Immediately turned around and rushed towards the Manchester United penalty area. And Hamann, who received George's header back at this time. There was no hesitation. Directly a light pick. The ball goes over O'Shea's header. Fall ahead of the path on which George is advancing. George's to the ball. Towards the United penalty area.
"Stop him." In order to prevent Liverpool from counterattacking again as quickly as they just did. Ferdinand yelled. Said to his teammates on the side. After hearing Ferdinand's words. Neville didn't even think about it. Rushed towards George.
Less than four meters away from George. Neville suddenly came with a sliding shovel. Trying to keep the ball at George's feet.
Face Neville's sudden sliding tackle. George, who was always very attentive. There was an immediate reaction. Just gently pull the ball to your left. Dodged Neville's sliding tackle. Continue to rush towards the restricted area.
"!" Saw George past Neville. Keep rushing up. Ferdinand couldn't help but yell. Rushing towards George. Ferdinand knew he couldn't go back. Now it's back to the top of the arc of the penalty area. If you go back. George won't necessarily move on. Maybe the side at the top of the arc of the penalty area will come with a long shot.
Five meters. Four meters. Three meters. The two approached quickly. Seeing Ferdinand getting closer and closer. George didn't wait for Ferdinand to defend. Pick up the ball directly. At the same time, Ferdinand has been bypassed. Plug it in from the side. Keep catching up with the ball. When George picks the ball. Ferdinand knew what had happened. Knowing you can't stop the ball. I just want to reach out and pull George. Even if you are sent off for a red card for a foul, you will not hesitate to come out.
It's a pity that George didn't give Ferdinand that chance. It seems to know what Ferdinand thinks. George was stunned for a big detour. Directly avoid Ferdinand's outstretched hand. Catch up with the ball.
By this time, Barthez had already begun to attack. But what's the use of attacking at this moment. George, who caught up with the ball, did not hesitate in the slightest. Straight turn and volley. With an irregular shot. Shoot the ball into the top left corner of the goal.
At the moment when George shoots. Barthez also made a save. But he couldn't stop George's shot. The ball goes straight into the net. In the silence of Old Trafford. Drill into the net.
"Slap" "Slap" "Slap"! A few seconds later. The entire Old Trafford stadium burst into applause. In the end. The entire Old Trafford stadium burst into applause. It was given to George by Manchester United fans. George had a brilliant swing of his own. Win the respect and affection of Manchester United fans. Allan. George. A beautiful goal. After two people in a row, the ball was sent into the back of the net. Listen to the applause at Old Trafford right now. It was clear that George scored with his brilliant swing. Having conquered Old Trafford. At this moment. It is George's personal stage. At this moment. It's a George moment. "To be continued. If you want to know what will happen next.
