Chapter 45: The Price of Arrogance (Part II)

Before I knew it, the first half of the game ended with a whistle, and after five minutes, Liverpool temporarily ended the first half with a one-goal advantage. (*UC e-book*Chinese Net*Super-speed update latest chapter*)

For the temporary lead of the opponent, Lao Bei seemed very happy, but he didn't dare to be careless, after all, the opponent was Manchester United, and there were still a full forty-five minutes, so long, enough time for Manchester United to equalize, or even overtake.

Therefore, when Lao Bei came to the locker room, he first praised the performance of the players in the first half, and then began to arrange the tactics of the second half with a serious face.

"We're ahead for the time being, but Manchester United aren't going to just look at 1: the score will stay until full-time, and in the second half, for whatever reason, the only thing that's certain is that United will definitely go crazy in the second half. In that case, then we need to rearrange our tactics. ”

For Lao Bei's words, George and others attach great importance to it, after all, no Liverpool player would think that with a one-goal lead, he can ensure the victory of the whole game, not to mention that the opponent this time is still Manchester United.

"In the second half, Man will definitely attack like crazy, at this time, the opposing striker is definitely a big problem, after all, you make sure to give Dudek the maximum support, and any attack that can threaten the goal is neutralized outside the box."

'Sammy, in the second half you went to lose to the Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy, especially with this guy's header and the goalkeeper. At the same time, you have to be careful not to open up a small angle shot when Ruud van Nistelrooy has his back to the goal, because Dudek's view is obscured and this kind of shot is very threatening. When necessary, you can be decisive and prefer to play cards rather than give them a threatening shot. Of course, it's better not to eat cards, you know? ”

"Don't worry, boss Yu Lao Bei's arrangement, Hyypia has no opinion, after all, Hyypia is responsible for guarding Vanney throughout the first half, Lao Bei said this just to remind Hyypia not to be careless because of the lead.

Hyypi may be a little careless as a young player, but Hyypia is a veteran player of Liverpool and has a lot of experience in the game, so he naturally will not make these low-level mistakes.

"Mao, your body and speed are good, you can show me the other side of the Rooney, but you have to pay attention, this kid is rated as England's twin stars with George, and in the training match, you also learned George's power, so you must despise the opponent more than the other party is just a hairy boy. This kid is fast, physically strong enough, explosive, and has some good long-range shots. So your job is to keep Rooney out of the box as much as possible, and if you can't stop him, let me go, understand? ”

Speaking of Rooney. Lao Bei had to remind Yepes. Yes, though young. But the strength is definitely not weak. Don't take your opponent lightly. For Rooney. Lao Beike did a very detailed study. In the end, it was concluded that in addition to the mental quality and the physical and speed are slightly lacking. No worse than George. Of course. If you want to count the fights. Wayne Rooney is no match for George either. I'm afraid there are really few people in the Premier League who can be George's opponent in a heads-up situation.

Yepes didn't speak. He just nodded vigorously in understanding. In the training of the team. Yepes didn't play George less.

After being ravaged countless times by George. Yepes finally understood. Age is not a measure of a person's strength. At least not in the Premier League. What's more, Rooney is still the George's named Gemini. That's just that. Yepes couldn't despise it if he wanted to. Or don't dare.

"In midfield. Harman, your position is back a bit. Be a swing man. It depends on the situation on the field. If necessary, you can give me a retreat to the restricted area. Temporarily act as a defender. Steven. You were in Haman's retreat. to fill in the position of Haman. Swing your blender ground function to the fullest. Give me the midfield, and the more messy it is, the better. Smitchell. You also retreat. Act as a mid-midfielder. The defenders are all for me to be honest and stay at the back. Don't go up to assist, Risser. At the moment the team does not need to attack. You need to defend. Even set-pieces and corners. There is no matter of your defenders. All you need to do is stay in the backcourt for me. My request is simple. That's defense. Defend with all your might. Hold off Manchester United for twenty minutes. Then it was our turn to fight back. ”

Hear the old Bedi arrangement. Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, this kind of thing is not less. Every time I met Manchester United Senna. Every now and then, Liverpool have to come back once or twice to defend with all their might. Make the opponent lose his temper.

Truly. Liverpool's overall strength may not be as good as Arsenal and Manchester United. But when it comes to defense. When Liverpool are hell-bent on defending. That's definitely the first in the Premier League. It doesn't matter if it's Arsenal or Manchester United. All suffered in Liverpool's all-out defense.

"Of course, this is also our home stadium, and we can't let Manchester United play like this and play half time attacking drills. Colwill, George, Michael, the three of you will stay in the midfield for me, if Manchester United really dare to press the big picture, you will give me an attack, so that Manchester United can get ahead of our Liverpool's fast attack. Attention all three, Rio Ferdinand's family is undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to centre-backs, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he is even the best in the Premier League. But it doesn't matter if there is only one Rio Ferdinand, whether it's Neville, West or O'Shea, all three are not really centre-backs. While all three are capable of centre-back, especially O'Shea and Silvestre, they seem to be doing a good job. But after all, they are not centre-backs, so when you counter-attack, the three of you try to attract or bypass Ferdinand as much as possible, and rush towards the other centre-back, no matter who the other centre-back of Manchester United is in the second half, except for Ferdinand, the three of you will arrest him for me. ”

"Of course,

Germany is our home stadium of Liverpool, and we Liverpool have no need to be afraid, but we need to resist the opponent's crazy attack first. That doesn't mean we at Liverpool have given up attacking and started defending with all our might.

In the second half, you pay attention to my orders, and when I think it's time, you press hard and let them understand our Liverpool attack. ”

Just as Lao Bei was arranging the second-half tactics for Liverpool, in the dressing room not far from the Liverpool dressing room, at this time, the old Sir Alex Ferguson was waving his hair dryer, scolding down from the forward, passing through the midfielder and defender, and scolding the American Howard at the end.

The Manchester United players looked angry, their faces were flushed, and from time to time they ran out a sentence or two of shit, garbage, the old jazz, everyone was worried about the old jazz, and they didn't know if Ferguson's heart would bear it.

During the fifteen-minute half-time break, Ferguson spent ten minutes to give each player a rotational service, and every player did not forget, and enjoyed it well.

But no matter what, the game still has to be played, after scolding for ten minutes, Ferguson also had to stop, although Ferguson was still very angry at this time, but after all, there was a second half to continue playing, and he couldn't forget to explain the tactics of the second half of the game because he was so cool for a while.

Five minutes could not be used to allow Sen to lay out the tactics of the second half in detail, and Ferguson simply emphasized the idea of Liverpool's quick attack, and then asked the players to attack, attack, and keep attacking.

The tactical arrangement of the managers of the two sides made it a one-sided situation at the beginning of the second half of the game, Liverpool was ready to defend the first 20 minutes, and Manchester United was ready to score in the first 20 minutes, so the situation of Manchester United pressing Liverpool on the field suddenly formed. Every attack by Manchester United can make Liverpool fans can't help but exclaim, and it seems that Manchester United can easily equalize.

"Shot, so dangerous, Rooney's long-range shot almost scored. Five minutes into the second half, it was almost United pressing Liverpool and it looked like they could equalise at any moment. I think it's time for Benitez to need a bit of an attack to ease the pressure at the back. ”

Although Mann's goal is very crazy, the defense has not forgotten, after all, Liverpool has three super fast, good offensive players, which is the most suitable for Liverpool's current defensive counter-attacking play.

No, Colwill received a pass from Steven Gerrard and before he could get any way with the ball, he was stopped by the experienced Neville with a very nice sliding tackle. Rio Ferdinand, who was on the side, just received the ball and immediately passed it to captain Keane.

Looking at the situation on the field, Keane had no choice but to pass the ball to the Portuguese, who he had never liked very much. No way, although Keane doesn't like Ronaldo very much, but after all, Ronaldo himself still has outstanding strength, otherwise, Ferguson would not have spent more than 10 million to bring Ronaldo to Old Trafford and train C as Beckham's successor.

Although Keane rarely passed the ball to C during this time, Ronaldo's running position was really good, and every time Keane got the ball, Ronaldo's position was very good. Although he didn't like Ronaldo very much, for the sake of the team, Keane still passed the ball to Ronaldo, who was in a better position.

It's a pity that Ronaldo hasn't seen his embarrassing position in the Manchester United team, and after receiving Keane's pass, C continued his wonderful and gorgeous individual performance, constantly feints to break through, and cut inside to shoot. In just two minutes, Ronaldo had three shots on goal without a single pass.

You know, when C shot these three times, Rooney had at least one great chance, because at that time the Liverpool players were attracted to C, if Ronaldo passed the ball to Rooney at this time, then Rooney had at least eight possible goals. It's a pity that Ronaldo can't see Rooney and Vanney, the two forwards, and continues his "arrogant" dribbling.

Finally, Ronaldo's arrogance angered Carragher and Ferguson, Carragher put C in a very barbaric way, although he was late with a yellow card, but Carragher also told Ronaldo in his own way, your skills and speed are good, but your body is not good, don't be too arrogant, otherwise, Lao Tzu will abolish you.

Sitting on the ground, feeling the pain in my right foot that kept spreading all over my body, I was afraid that this game would not be able to continue any longer. However, when he saw the referee show Carragher a yellow card warning, Ronaldo was a little puzzled, such a barbaric rule, and even almost abolished his own violation, the referee did not send the opponent out of the game, but only gave a yellow card warning, which is simply unreasonable in the eyes of Ronaldo.

However, without waiting for C to react, Ferguson, who was also angered by Ronaldo's arrogant performance, suddenly waved his hand and replaced Ronaldo with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and even when Ronaldo walked off the field, Ferguson did not look at Ronaldo once.

You must know that Ferguson is very angry at this time, the team is behind, and what the team needs most at present is to try to tie the score.

For such a player who likes to perform on his own and does not obey the arrangement, Ferguson, who adheres to an iron-blooded policy, will naturally not be polite and tolerate C's performance anymore. Not to mention that Ronaldo may not be able to continue to insist on the game now, even if he can continue to insist on it, there is nothing to do, and Ferguson will definitely not continue to tolerate C continuing his "wonderful" performance on the field.

Although the second half was less than eight minutes into the game, Ferguson still used up a substitution in his hands. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support *UC e-book *Chinese Net*! )
