Chinese Until the end of the first half, Liverpool led Manchester United 1-0 thanks to Milito's goal. It's just that throughout the first half, Liverpool didn't find any decent chances again to extend the score.

Manchester United's defense is indeed quite set, Zhao Yaning has met them several times, and they have been greatly limited by the tightness and decisiveness of their defensive system. These guys don't have Essien's body and Makellele's prediction, but they have an excellent defensive positioning system, as well as a familiar understanding of Premier League rules, timely fouls, and complementary set-piece defensive skills to limit Zhao Yaning's every opportunity.

When facing them, they always have more fouls than others, but they can better grasp the proportion, and it is very troublesome for Zhao Yaning to deal with them.

It's just that although Zhao Yaning copes with Manchester United's defensive troubles, he is still on the offensive. Manchester United, on the other hand, had only one shot on goal in the entire first half, and compared to Liverpool, the midfield was completely out of control.

"After the second half, they shouldn't have changed their tactics, right?" Zhao Yaning was also thinking in his heart, "This game is the first time to suppress Manchester United so deadly." ”

In several encounters with Manchester United, the game did not go well, which also made Zhao Yaning still a little jealous of Manchester United. And in this game, he was able to establish an advantage in the first half early, and he was quite happy in his heart.

At the start of the second half, United made a change. Saha was replaced by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who replaced him with the feared goalscorer.

'United have now brought Ruud van Nistelrooy on again...... It's really incomprehensible. If you want Ruud van Nistelrooy to play, why not let him start? If you don't want him to play, why do you want him to play? What was Ferguson thinking? ”

In fact, Ferguson was thinking very simply at this time: tactically speaking, Ruud van Nistelrooy really didn't meet the needs of Manchester United. But these young people are immature, and it is very likely that Manchester United will lose. In other games, Manchester United can sacrifice some to make them grow, but in this kind of game, Ferguson wants to win no matter what.

In Ferguson's heart, after all, he still regards Liverpool as his biggest enemy. Chelsea defended their title in time, and in his view, it was not as threatening as Liverpool's recovery.

Manchester United's current question is actually a question: tactics and stars, which one to choose.

If tactics are chosen, Vanney should be abandoned. A good scorer can indeed score goals, but such a center forward who only pays attention to shooting skills has been gradually eliminated by the times, the winger cuts inside, better disrupts the backcourt defense, and the players on the forward line pull and run, do more cooperation and counter-robbery, these are the trend of football development. Modern football needs a striker who has a wide range of activities, can cooperate with teammates more, has excellent assault ability, and has not weak counter-attacking ability. Vanney, on the other hand, clearly does not meet this requirement. Manchester United know this, and they have chosen to go down that path, and the introduction and development of Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo has always been this path.

The problem is that United have an exceptionally good goalscorer, Ruud van Nistelrooy. His efficiency is really hard to let go, especially when Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are not fully developed, and Ruud van Nistelrooy can guarantee that United's results will not fall too far. He is like a drug to Manchester United, although he knows that his presence has a great destructive effect on Manchester United's integrity and tactics, but the wonderful moment of scoring is inextricable.

However, such a forward-looking mentality is also a delay for each other. When Ruud van Nistelrooy was at Manchester United, he encountered strong teams, and they were often unable to perform at a very good level, which is not unrelated to this tactic. And Manchester United's performance in Ruud van Nistelrooy's years has also been poor, which has also been affected.

But in this game, it is clear that United still need Ruud van Nistelrooy to save.

Several attempts were intercepted by Liverpool, and the Reds no longer considered relying on Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo to create chances. Liverpool attaches great importance to defense, and is extremely careful when playing against Manchester United, even if it is an excellent wing like Robben and Duff, they are suppressed when they meet Liverpool, Manchester United is not as good as Chelsea on the side now, and it makes little sense to force a breakthrough.

At this time, Manchester United made another choice. On several occasions in a row, United began to find Ruud van Nistelrooy in the box with long passes to solve the problem.

This kind of pass is not good enough - looking at Manchester United's pass, Zhao Yaning is still thinking in his heart. It is true that Manchester United's players are not bad at long passing, but in this game, their passing options are not good. Too impatient, too fast to pass, can't create too good opportunities.

However, even so, United are persisting in doing so for the simple reason that they have Ruud van Nistelrooy, a brilliant goalscorer who can turn a lot of unreliable half-goals into chances.

The role of a star is often enormous. Liverpool relied on Zhao Yaning to rampage in midfield, while Manchester United relied on Ruud van Nistelrooy to make the game extremely simple. Just pass it into the box, and the job of grabbing the point to shoot, Vanney can do it himself.

It's just that at this time, Manchester United's attack is also very gambling in nature. The battle against the giants has been reduced to wanting to rely on the individual ability of the star rather than the whole, which is already half the loss.

Moreover, Liverpool's defense is not bad at all. Hyypia and Carragher's defense did not give Ruud van Nistelrooy too many chances, and until nearly 70 minutes, United still had no chance to shoot on goal.

However, it was at this time that the turning point came.

After another pass from Ryan Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy went straight out of the box and received the ball. He turned his back to the top of the penalty area against the scramble Hyypia, his shoulders swaying slightly, looking for an opportunity for himself.

Hyypia did not dare to relax. He is well aware that although Ruud van Nistelrooy is a point-grabbing shooter, he is not bad at all in terms of physicality and technique. He had a chance, but it was a troublesome thing.

But Vanney moved anyway. With a sudden turn to the right, Vanney withstood the pressure from Hyypia, and although he couldn't fully face the penalty area and didn't almost get off his feet, he still squeezed Hyypia away and ran towards the left front. But at this time, Carragher was also blocked in front of him, and he almost had no chance at all.

This time, however, Vanney kicked the ball to the right, steadied himself and chased after him. Carragher's interception failed, but by this time, Hyypia had already rushed to the position of the ball. To get Hyypia one step ahead, Carragher reached out and pulled on Ruud van Nistelrooy's jersey.

And it was this foul that made Vanney wrestle directly on his back and fell in the penalty area!

"Penalty!"

The surrounding fans roared, and the referee ran over and pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

Penalty kick.

The place where Vanney fell was indeed in the penalty area, and Carragher did have a pulling action in his hand that should not have been. But even so, the goal still provoked Carragher's anger, because he really couldn't imagine that Ruud van Nistelrooy would play this game in such a way.

"Are you a? I couldn't even pull my three-year-old son down at that moment! Carragher couldn't help but yell at Vanney, "Derby is a man's game, what kind of kick is this?" ”

His roar caused both Rooney and Little Rowe to rush up. On the Liverpool side, Reese and Hamann also rushed back, and the referee pulled again and again to pull everyone away, but even such a fierce conflict still made the audience boo. The referee gave Carragher and Rooney a yellow card each to silence them.

At this time, there is no more fuel to the fire.

"The referee's decision is debatable, this penalty can't be said to be a mistake, Carragher did foul, but the penalty that affects the trend of the game can be considered again......" Martin Taylor still sighed a little, "But Liverpool's luck is also good, it is Carragher who eats the card." If memory serves, Gerrard and Alonso have accumulated four yellow cards, and whoever they are, one more yellow card is a suspension. That's why Gerrard didn't have the past just now, and Liverpool can't afford to take that blow now......"

In 60 minutes, United had just one shot on goal. In such a game, it can be said that Manchester United has completely lost control on the field. At this time, if this is not Old Trafford, it is not Manchester United who plays the ball, and the person who falls is not Ruud van Nistelrooy, this penalty is indeed very likely not to be awarded. The team that has fallen behind wants to rely on penalties to equalise the game, and this kind of thing is not always successful.

However, the influence of Manchester United, the status of Ruud van Nistelrooy, the home effect of Old Trafford, these things add up, and this penalty cannot be awarded.

Hyypia pulled Carragher apart, and at this time, he didn't know what to say. He suffered the loss of Vanney, in the 03-04 season, a fall of Vanney made him red, whether it was a fake fall, is still a controversial matter. On the issue of Vanney and fake falls, Vieira has always been a staunch Vanney, even in Serie A, he has been completely relieved of Keane's suspicions, but when it comes to Vanney, he still calls Vanney a liar.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is tall and has plenty of strength, which gives many people the illusion that he is an excellent tall power center, and even players who are very familiar with him can't help but think of his size and strength when they play against him. However, people often forget that Ruud van Nistelrooy plays football by his excellent sense of smell, first-class shooting skills, and excellent agility that does not match his size. It's true that he has the ability to fight, but the strong fight against the confrontational tough bridge has never been his characteristic. And this illusion makes it easy for defenders to move too much, and it also makes the referee often want to believe that he really fell, which makes it really easier for him to get a penalty.

But in the eyes of people like Vieira and Carragher, who are so tall and strong, they should play with hard energy, so they will have a bad impression of him.

Ruud van Nistelrooy put the ball on the penalty spot, and this crucial penalty was naturally taken by himself.

Since the beginning of this season, he has had fewer and fewer opportunities. Because Xiao Xiaoluo's technical characteristics tend to cut inside the goal, and he kicks too sticky balls, and he can't play with Vanney, so now Ferguson is more likely to use the young Saha who can be pulled out in many games to cooperate with Xiao Xiaoluo, and Vanney's current main position is precarious. In this game, against a team like Liverpool, Ferguson didn't dare to put all his hopes on Xiao Xiaoluo, so he had to use him again.

However, given a chance, Vanney would never let it slip through his reach.

Raise your feet and shoot!

“gooooal！！！ Ruud van Nistelrooy converted the penalty and United pulled the scores back!! ”

Carragher was still staring at Fanny unconvinced, in his opinion, such a fall was no different from a fake fall. He was even more angry with himself, he didn't know about his recklessness in playing football, but he just couldn't control it. The last time Liverpool lost at home to Manchester United, it was he who scored two own goals in a row to make Liverpool lose 2-3, and this season is the time to win the championship, he made mistakes again and again, first against Chelsea's own goal, and then gave a penalty in this game, he really can't forgive himself.

"Jimmy, don't worry." Zhao Yaning patted him, "This kind of goal is nothing remarkable, they have no other way, which shows that we are strong." Don't worry, we'll win. ”

Since Manchester United has exhausted all its means in this game, and it has reached the point where they have to rely on penalties to score goals, it is enough to show that their strength is indeed not good. In this case, Zhao Yaning also began to think about how to rely on his own attack to score a goal again, so that Manchester United was completely defeated.
