In the second half, it was clear that United began to tighten up their defence, but also began to play more brief short passes, constantly looking for opportunities to slowly penetrate or tear apart Liverpool's backline to complete the final fatal blow.

This forced Liverpool to strengthen their defence, with the exception of George and Owen, who were still roaming around the United half, quietly looking for and waiting for opportunities, and the other nine remained in the Liverpool half.

This gives Manchester United more space to allow Manchester United players to show their gorgeous foot skills to the fullest, but only in their own half, if they enter the Liverpool half, the nine Liverpool are not decorations, and will definitely not let the United players dance as if they were in their own half.

Manchester United's midfielders are cool, there are no Liverpool players pressing all over the field, and you can see Manchester United midfielders everywhere to show their skills, gorgeous dribbling, and accurate long passes.

But the midfielders are happy, but the frontline and backfield players of Manchester United are a little bit uncomfortable. When the midfielders handed the ball to the strikers, the Liverpool backline, which had been waiting for a long time, would immediately cut off the ball at the feet of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And, of course, there are United's backfield players, who are filled with bitterness as they watch their midfield team-mates dance in front of them. Because they are different from the midfielders, they have to be preoccupied with the two strikers of George and Irving, who are extremely fast and dangerous. Ferdinand and Sylvester were on their part, and it would be difficult to break the ball at the feet of George or Owen if either George or Owen got the ball and started running at full strength.

In the 11th minute of the second half, United were given a corner kick when Paul Scholes' long-range shot bounced off Hamann's body.

The United players took this corner very seriously. There is no way, because Liverpool's defense is too tight, and it is almost impossible to break through Liverpool's defensive line and score goals in the sports battle, according to the situation on the field, so the Manchester United players put all their hopes on set-pieces, hoping to rely on set-pieces to equalize.

Veron looked at his teammates in the box. With the referee blowing the whistle, it is time to start the ball. Perón suddenly played the ball into the box and it flew straight towards Ruud van Nistelrooy.

No way, in the Liverpool penalty area. Of all the players at Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy is the tallest and has good head work. As for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, let's not say that Solskjaer is not good at heading, and under Yeppers' defense, it is difficult to grab even a position. As for Rio Ferdinand, if he runs against other teams. Rio Ferdinand may also burst into the box to grab a corner kick and put his header to good use. But the current opponent is Liverpool, with Owen and George, two players who are extremely fast and are best suited to play defensive counter-attacks. At half-time, Silvestre and Fajing were pressed to the back by Ferguson. The two were not allowed to go to the front court to fight for the header, in order to prevent George and Irving from counterattacking quickly.

So Veron had no choice but to give the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who looked more likely to get a chance, although behind Ruud vanney, Hyypia was also defending closely.

The ball did not fly in a big arc, but rushed directly towards Vanney's head, and it was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Vanney's eyes.

Seeing this, Vanney reflexively jumped on the spot, out of fear that Hyypia would cause himself problems like he did in the first half. Vanney jumped up at the same time. At the same time, the right hand is pressed against Hyypia's shoulder, with Hyypia's shoulder as a support point. This would allow Ruud van Nistelrooy to stay in the air longer so that he could get a better header on target.

Indeed, Vanney's move is still very effective, Hyypia wanted to jump up and compete with Vanney for the header, but because his shoulder was pressed by Vanney, he couldn't jump up, so he could only watch Vanney calmly prepare in the air, and slammed it hard against Veron's corner kick. Ruud van Nistelrooy, a header from a drifting header, Leahypia, smashed the ball into the back of the net. Hyypia seemed to be defending Ruud van Nistelrooy in the first half, unable to do anything but to watch Ruud van Nistelrooy smash the ball towards the goal. ”

No matter how powerful Dudek is, no matter how fast he reacts, but in the face of Vanney's header less than five meters away from the goal and without any interference, Dudek did not make any save at all except for subconsciously reaching out and waving it to block.

Although Jiangmen usually subconsciously stretches out his hand and waves, he may also block the opponent's ball and complete a wonderful save. But that doesn't happen every time, at least this time in the face of Ruud van Nistelrooy's header, Dudek reached out and couldn't stop Ruud van Nistelrooy's header.

"Huh!" When Dudek heard the most feared voice of all the goalkeepers coming from behind his ears, his heart was already cold. Dudek is very aware of the importance of this game, even if he swings 90 minutes, but in the best stoppage time, the opponent breaks through his goal, and his 90 minutes of swing has no effect at all.

At this time, hearing the sound of scoring a goal behind his ears, Dudek's heart suddenly lit up, and the lead that the whole Liverpool team had worked hard for so long had disappeared and was equalized by Manchester United.

Thinking of his teammates' silent accusations, Dudek was full of guilt, but at this time, the referee's whistle saved Dudek, and the referee standing outside the penalty area ruled that Vanney's goal was invalid with a firm face, because Vanney fouled under pressure. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a goal, and Anfield Stadium, which was quiet for Manchester United to equalize, suddenly broke out from the dead silence because the referee signaled that Ruud van Nistelrooy had fouled first, and the goal was invalid, and more than 60,000 Liverpool fans celebrated wildly, thanking God and Lady Luck for blessing, celebrating that Manchester United did not equalize, and Liverpool is still the leading opponent.

The Liverpool players and fans are cool now. Happy and relieved, but the Manchester United players did not do it, especially Ruud van Nistelrooy, seeing the referee signaling that he had pressed the foul first and ruled that his goal was invalid, Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately rushed to the referee's side angrily and began to argue.

"Referee, how do you enforce the game. It was a beautiful goal. How can you say that I fouled first. "Can Ruud van Nistelrooy not be excited, this time he was able to score with a header because he played a little trick. Didn't make Hyypia jump. Ruud van Nistelrooy believes it would have been difficult for him to score if Hyypia jumped up just the moment he hit the ball with his header.

Thinking that in the future, Hyypia would not give himself a second chance like this, so it would be even more difficult to score, Vanney asked the referee with an excited face.

"No, no, no, you did get a pressure foul first. So the goal was invalid and I was very confident that there was nothing wrong with my eyes. In the face of an angry Ruud van Nistelrooy, the referee was not timid at all and insisted on his own decision.

"Referee, what was the mistake just now, it was obviously a beautiful goal." At this time, Keane couldn't help but say loudly, this game is too important, seeing that it was hard to equalize, but the referee couldn't score, Keane also felt angry at this time. /\

"No, no, no, I insist on my original verdict, please don't interfere with my law enforcement." In the face of Keane, who is known as a villain, the referee did not back down at all and insisted on his punishment.

I saw that the referee always insisted on his decision. The Manchester United players are in a hurry. One by one, they gathered around the referee and kept explaining. Hopefully, the referee can rule that the goal is valid. However, it is clear that the referee's will is very strong, and he will not change his decision because of the interference of the Manchester United players, because of the chatter of the Manchester United players, the impatient referee can't help frowning, put his hand into the pocket of his jacket, and looks at the Manchester United players coldly, it seems that there is a possibility of a deck at any time.

Manchester United players besieged the referee, Liverpool players were naturally unhappy, in case the referee really couldn't withstand the bombardment of Manchester United players, and really decided that the goal was valid, then Liverpool didn't even cry without tears.

Thinking of this, the Liverpool players immediately rushed over, protected the referee, separated the referee and the Manchester United players, and kept saying to the Manchester United players: "That's obviously a foul, you Manchester people are an ugly actor, your acting skills are not good, and your face is quite thick." ”

At this time, the large-screen camera at the scene played back the picture of Vanney fighting for the ball just after jumping, and it was obvious from the picture that Vanney was almost completely pressed on top of Hyypia, which was an obvious foul.

Seeing this scene, more than 60,000 Liverpool fans suddenly began to boo loudly, expressing their contempt to the Manchester United players, and at the same time, at the moment of the replay on the big screen, the Manchester United players naturally saw it, and when the Manchester United players saw that Ruud van Nistelrooy was indeed a foul, even the voice of the argument was much smaller unconsciously.

In the end, the referee still insisted on his penalty, and the referee was very confident that his penalty was not wrong, not to mention that the big screen replay on the scene could clearly see Fanny pressing the foul, seeing this, the referee was even more unlikely to change his penalty. \

"Shit, this referee must be from Liverpool, otherwise he would have accepted a bribe from Liverpool, how is this a foul, this is obviously a beautiful goal." Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but curse when he saw the referee insisting on his penalty.

"Sir, I hope you may calm down, you know that you are the manager, it is obviously a foul, if you are insulting the referee like this, I don't mind reporting your words to the FA."

Ferguson's insult was heard by the officials on the side, who frowned and said to Ferguson with a serious face.

"Shit." Hearing the warning, Ferguson immediately cursed in his heart, but Ferguson knew very well that if these words of insulting the law enforcement referee really appeared at the desk of those bigwigs in the FA, then he would definitely be punished.

In the end, the referee insisted on his own penalty, and Vanney and others had no choice but to accept the referee's penalty very unwillingly and continue the game.

Five minutes later, United were back in action, this time from a corner to a wide cross and Ryan Giggs latched onto Keane's pass. Relying on outstanding foot skills and pride, after shaking off Murphy, he passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy in the penalty area.

In the face of Giggs's pass, Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to repeat the scene he had just played, but this time Hyypia, who had been prepared for a long time, did not give Ruud van Nistelrooy any chance. Seeing Vanney about to press on his shoulder, Hyypia quickly stepped away and dodged Vanney's right hand.

Ruud van Nistoy could never have imagined that Hyypia would actually dare to retreat instead of jumping up and grabbing the ball with him. You know, if Vanney hadn't played small moves. It was a very regular jumping on the spot to head the goal, and when Hyypia retreated like this, it was completely to give Vanney a wide space. Let Ruud van Nistelrooy finish with his header in stride.

At first, Vanney didn't think that Hyypia would retreat, so he didn't control his center of gravity at all while jumping up, because Vanney pinned all his hopes on Hyypia's shoulder, and Vanney planned to press on Hyypia's shoulder to make adjustments when he jumped. As soon as Ya retreated, Vanney's right hand suddenly had no support point. The body did not control the center of gravity in the first place, and suddenly leaned in the direction of the goal, and at this time, the ball flew a few centimeters in front of Vanney's eyes.

Fanny regrets it, he has nothing to do with his own cleverness, if he is honest, he will jump up honestly. So this time, Van Nistelrooy had nine layers of certainty to send the ball into the back of the net. Or if you are a little late, then you can also touch the ball.

However, no matter what Ruud van Nistelrooy thought, it could not change the facts at this point, the ball flew past Ruud van Nistelrooy's header, flew across the goal and rolled towards the touchline, was picked up by the ambushed Lisse, and began to rush towards the United half with the ball.

"Omi defended a great way, and I didn't think about it again. The defense can be so exciting. Hyypia didn't even make physical contact with Vanney, just took a step back. Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't get his hands on the ball. You must know that Hyypia was out of the way at that time, and Vanney could smash the ball towards the goal in several different ways with his header ability. But it was clear that Vanney's cleverness had cost him a great opportunity, and Sammy had made an almost hellish gamble to make Vanney a clown. ”

Vanney's actions just now naturally appeared on the big screen on the scene, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that Vanney really wanted to press Hyypia's shoulder with his right hand as a support point just now, and adjust his header to attack the goal.

But it is clear that Hyypia is smarter than Vanney, and he is not fooled, allowing Vanney to suffer the consequences of his own cleverness. However, while laughing at Vanney, everyone was also afraid of Hyypia's bold approach, if Vanney hadn't been clever just now, then Hyypia's retreat would have been a head qigong door that made Vannia comfortable. Not to mention the fans and Liverpool players, even Hyypia himself is scared when he thinks about it now.

While fans were laughing at Ruud van Nistelrooy for being smart, Liverpool had quietly started to attack quickly. Reese passed the ball to Colwill, who shook off Scholes, who came to grab the ball, and relied on continuous additions to increase his degree to the fastest, rushing towards Manchester United's goal like a gust of wind.

"Liverpool's counter-attack, let's see how Liverpool handled the ball this time. Colwill shook Scholes, and now there is an open field in front of Colwill, Colwill can run as much as he wants, oh my God, Colwill's degree is too fast, I don't know how many degrees there are in the Liverpool team, Colwill and George and Michael Owen are the three, and who is the fastest. ”

"Gary Neville started to rush up, Colwill should be careful, Gary is a big man at the back of Manchester United, an experienced veteran player, and it may not be an easy task to defend."

Originally, he also retreated frantically with Sylvester and Ferdinand to prevent George and Owen from counterattacking quickly. But Neville couldn't have imagined that Colwill could run so fast with the ball without the interference of no defense, according to Colwill's current dribbling degree, if no one stopped Colwill, Colwill may really rush ahead of George and Owen and enter the Manchester United penalty area to complete the shot. Seeing this, Neville had no choice but to start pounced on Cowell. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please see Chapter 6i for more,
