Chapter 479 Changes brought by Benitez

Benitez, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly became angry. He waved his fists angrily in protest.

In his first season as Liverpool's head coach, Benitez consciously brought great changes to the team, but the team's record in the Premier League has not changed much.

上赛季红军在27轮联赛之后，11胜9平7负拿到了42个积分排名联赛第4，本赛季贝尼特斯的利物浦则是13胜4平10负拿到了43个积分排名联赛第5，积分同期多了1分，但是排名却是低了一名。

Competitive football is so cruel, no matter how good your team is, if the record is poor and there are fewer championships won, the head coach will inevitably be questioned, especially a giant team like Liverpool that is in a trough.Although the season is not over yet, Liverpool's management has some doubts about his UEFA Cup winner.

Benitez is eager to win a championship, and this League Cup is his most sure.

But now, his team suffered heavy losses just before the start of the game, which almost meant the end of his dream of winning the championship.

Of course, as an experienced professional football coach, Benitez is not unable to accept the result of the team losing, but he cannot accept that his team fell under the referee's hands at the beginning!
He does not accept such a result, absolutely not!
………………

Benitez roared angrily, he was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's penalty kick.

Before coming to the Premier League, he had only heard that Manchester United was well taken care of by referees in the Premier League, but he hadn't experienced it himself, but he has been in Liverpool for almost a season, but he has seen a lot.

Ferguson was as emotional as him, and the old man was also waving his fists. This was not a protest, but a celebration.

Getting a penalty early in the game against Liverpool is undoubtedly a very good result.

Although in his position he doesn't see what's going on in the paint, he doesn't care if it's a flop or a real foul.Since the referee calls a foul and calls a penalty kick, then it's a penalty!
The slow motion shows that Hyypia stretched out his foot and indeed tripped Ronaldo, and then Ronaldo fell to the ground.Some people may say that this relatively slight contact is not enough to cause Ronaldo to fall to the ground, but who told Hypia to stretch his feet, and he did trip over Ronaldo.

Lineker shook his head and said: "Hyypia tripped Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese fell to the ground. According to the rules, this is a penalty kick, and there is nothing wrong with it."

The Liverpool people were outraged, but Haipi Yatai could only be blamed for his recklessness.Hyypia was also very wronged. If he didn't make an interception, Ronaldo would be single-handed. He had no choice.

………………

There was chaos in front of Liverpool's goal, and the Red Army's players were protesting the penalty.

Manchester United are celebrating.

The referee Bennett seemed to be because of the strong protests of the Liverpool players. To be on the safe side, he communicated with the linesman again, and finally upheld the penalty kick.

Ronaldo personally took the penalty kick he created.

The whistle sounded, Ronaldo ran up, and he shot low to the lower right corner.Dudek judged the right direction, but the shot was fast and the angle was tricky, so he couldn't catch the football.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"C Ronaldo scored a penalty kick! 1:0! Manchester United lead! Only 3 minutes into the game, Manchester United took the lead, they made a fantastic start."

On the field, Ronaldo excitedly celebrated the goal. He ran to the sidelines and kissed the team logo on the jersey.

The celebratory action of Manchester United's talented new star won huge cheers from nearly [-] Manchester United fans at the scene.

Ferguson was also very happy on the sidelines. This result was really a surprise. He was thinking of giving up the championship, but he didn't expect the team to score so early.

Leading 1:0, a dream start, which makes Manchester United's subsequent games even easier to play.

For Manchester United, who are good at playing defensive counterattacks, this is an excellent start.

………………

Benitez was very upset, muttering in his mouth, it must not be a good thing.He knows that the game is difficult to play.

Take a look at Manchester United's offensive players in the midfield. Yin Jun, Ronaldo, and Alan Smith are all fast and powerful. They are specially prepared for quick counterattacks.Another Van Nistelrooy's speed is not too slow, and his ability to grasp opportunities is super strong, which also poses a great threat to Liverpool's defense.

Benitez shouted the name of team captain Steven Gerrard towards the field, and made a gesture at the same time.

The game continued. The Liverpool soldiers did not mess up their position because they lost the ball early. They stubbornly dealt with Manchester United. They played with all the main players and used fierce pressing to limit Manchester United's offensive. They quickly took advantage of the scene. Manchester United played a little passively. .

Within a few minutes, the referee Bennett stopped the game again, and then showed Wes Brown a yellow card.

Ferguson frowned. The central defender received a yellow card so early, which is not good. He realized that he was a little too optimistic.

The Liverpool team, which was behind 0:1, did not act too impatiently.

"This is an experienced team." John Mortenson praised Liverpool's performance.

………………

Five minutes later, Wes Brown had the ball in the backcourt, and when he passed the ball to Fletcher, he made a mistake and had less power.Morientes made a smart steal and successfully stole the ball.

Morientes sprinted into the penalty area after stealing the ball, although Ferdinand made a desperate cover tackle and shoveled the football away.But Riise, who followed up, took the lead, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"Rise! The Norwegian midfielder scored a goal in the penalty area and Liverpool equalized!"

"Liverpool played with experience, they didn't panic, they quickly took advantage of Manchester United's error and leveled the score."

……

Ferguson was very annoyed. Just when Wes Brown got a yellow card, he felt something was wrong.Sure enough, the Liverpool people quickly opened a breakthrough from him again and equalized the score.

Ferguson knew that the Liverpool people were deliberately attacking Wes Brown, but he had no choice but to replace Wes Brown shortly after the start of the game.

Benitez returned to the coach's bench and sat down. He was very satisfied with the performance of his disciples.

Especially when he saw Ferguson's annoyed look not far away, his mood became even happier.

The Spanish head coach thought proudly that after all, football is a sport that relies on strength. Although it is possible to gain a temporary advantage by relying on crooked ways, this advantage is very fragile in the face of absolute strength.
