Chapter 415 Gerald VS Yin Jun
Giggs stood in the corner on the right, laid out the football gently, and then slowly backed away.

Liverpool coach Benitez seemed very concerned on the sidelines, constantly calling on the players on the field to pay attention.

Among the materials provided by the Liverpool coaching staff before the game, set-piece defense was emphatically mentioned, because in the past two seasons, set-pieces have always been an important means for Manchester United to score.Whether it is free kicks or corner kicks, Manchester United has a good scoring rate.

In the corner kick attack, Manchester United's most threatening players are undoubtedly Ferdinand and Vidic. These two central defenders are quite threatening header attackers.

In addition, Yin Jun and Ruud van Nistelrooy also have good header ability, and they are also the key targets of Liverpool's defensive players.

Then there is the need to guard against Scholes' peripheral long-range shots.

As the captain of the team, Gerrard volunteered to take over the task of marking Manchester United's number one star Yin Jun.He pushed Yin Jun to the outside of Liverpool's small penalty area, trying to push this guy away from the most dangerous area.

When Giggs quickly took a corner kick, there was chaos in the penalty area.Manchester United's players are trying to get rid of Liverpool's markings, while Liverpool's players are the targets of their own markings, especially Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Yin Jun, the most threatening header masters.

But amidst this chaos, a red figure suddenly appeared in the crowd, jumping high from the middle.Giggs's corner pass came right in front of him, and with a header from close range, the football changed its trajectory in an instant and fell to the left of the goal.

The header from close at hand came very suddenly, and the goalkeeper Dudek was beyond his reach.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"The goal was scored! In the 8th minute, Manchester United took the lead in breaking Liverpool's goal!"

"Header from Cristiano Ronaldo! Fantastic!"

"The Portuguese grabbed the best spot in the penalty area full of tall people and scored with a header!"

"It was United's first threatening attack of the game, and it turned out to be two shots against Liverpool's goal."

"Let's revisit the goal again, the corner kick from Giggs confuses many players, Liverpool's attention falls on tall players like Ferdinand and Vidic, and stars like Yin Jun and Ruud van Nistelrooy. players, but overlooked the young Cristiano Ronaldo."

"It was definitely a very undeserved mistake, because Cristiano Ronaldo's jumping ability and header have always been quite good, but Liverpool obviously missed someone."

……

After the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo turned and sprinted off the field, running all the way down the Old Trafford field, and finally put on his trademark goal celebration in the corner area, accepting the audience Congratulations to fans and teammates.

Ever since seeing Yin Jun use this celebration last year, this kid has fallen in love with this cool celebration.Yin Jun, the initiator, has not used it a few times. On the contrary, Ronaldo will use this action to celebrate every time he scores a goal.

………………

When Manchester United celebrated the goal, Gerrard, who was standing on the field, wiped his face depressed.

The game lasted less than 10 minutes, and as the team's defensive midfielder, he didn't even sweat, and his goal was broken.And the one who scored the goal was not Yin Jun, whom he focused on, or even an important player like Ruud van Nistelrooy, but a very ordinary brat other than being cool, which made him feel very uncomfortable, feeling like being robbed feel of the play.

Gerrard knew that both he and the head coach had made empirical mistakes and paid too much attention to the defense of important players like Yin Jun, which made players like Ronaldo almost in a state of being emptied.

And Manchester United obviously seized this loophole, and then succeeded in a sneak attack.

Gerrard feels that after coach Benitez's signings in the summer, Liverpool's overall strength is indeed good, but the team has not yet been integrated into a whole.

In this summer, after Liverpool lost their good friend Owen, the new coach Benitez introduced many players. Alonso, Luis Garcia, Cisse and others were all newcomers, which led to the lack of cooperation among the players. small problem.

The away game in the Premier League is difficult to play, especially the opponent is Manchester United.Old Trafford has always been a nightmare for the visiting team, and few people can escape here unscathed.This is indeed a big challenge and test for Liverpool.

Of course, looking for objective factors is not enough. The team's set-piece defense this time is indeed not ideal.

Benitez was also very excited on the sidelines and was very dissatisfied with conceding a goal.But soon, the Spaniard immediately made adjustments, especially for the team's defense.

Although he has only just come to the Premier League, Benitez has a deep understanding of Ferguson. After all, no one dares to take it lightly when facing Ferguson. He will definitely study Ferguson and his Manchester United seriously. Benitez is no exception .He knows that what the Red Devils and Manchester United are best at is chasing after the victory. As long as you give them a chance, they will catch you until you have no strength to fight back.

This is the Old Trafford Stadium, and facing the wolf-like Manchester United here, they can only take defense.

………………

After a wave of celebration, the Manchester United man returned to the field amid the cheers and cheers of the fans.

After the game restarted, Manchester United chose to take advantage of the victory and continue to attack Liverpool. Cristiano Ronaldo, who just scored a goal, was particularly excited.

After scoring a goal, the Portuguese quickly took the ball on the left rib to face the three defenders of Liverpool. He still chose to do it alone, and he just relied on his personal ability to dribble the ball and rushed for a kicking shot. A low shot from 26 meters from the goal.

Shortly thereafter, the guy switched to the right, hit the space behind Riise and sent a cross into the penalty area, but the Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy's header in front of the goal failed to create a threat.

Just 2 minutes later, the Portuguese dribbled the ball from the center and forced a breakthrough. The shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked from the bottom line. Giggs took a corner kick from the right, but Liverpool had already prepared this time. Hyypia Header clearance.

The football is still at the feet of Manchester United. After the reorganization, Giggs crossed from the right, and Cristiano Ronaldo volleyed 12 meters in front of the goal in the penalty area, sliding the goal again.

The crazy Manchester United can be said to be almost omnipotent at home.Even Liverpool had to choose to avoid the edge temporarily and retreat to their own half to defend tenaciously.

The other Manchester United players looked very excited, but Yin Jun, who was focused on by Gerrard, seemed a little quiet on the court.But Gerrard knew that this was all an illusion, and there must be no slack in the defense of this Chinese kid, because he was a guy who could give his opponent a fatal blow at any time!
