The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 56 Double Red Meeting ([-])
It is obviously not Liverpool's character to just take a beating and not fight back. Alonso made a long pass, Garcia made the ferry, and Gerrard gave Cisse's favorite lead with a through ball.

Unfortunately, it was Ferdinand again, he was directly stuck between Cisse and the football, and calmly passed the football back to goalkeeper Carroll.

Then it was time for Ronaldinho to perform again. He cut to the middle and shot a cold shot. The football broke through Dudek's ten fingers, hit the post and popped out of the field!
"No wonder some media say that I am more like Ronaldinho from Liverpool. This guy is not weak. Although he is a bit too fond of cycling, he is also practical enough. The threat is not small."

It's just that the passing is a bit random, otherwise if you can effectively connect with Van Nistelrooy, the threat will be multiplied!
Li Tiancheng felt that Liverpool was suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense.

This feeling came to a head when Cisse was once again tackled directly by Ferdinand, while Garcia and Kewell failed to continue to pose threats in the half.

Ronaldinho broke through again and went straight, Riise did nothing, and Hyypia directly held Ruud, preventing him from starting!
The referee Ball missed the foul and Liverpool escaped.

It's not easy. In the past, Liverpool always played the victim. This situation is really rare, let alone at Old Trafford.

No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson immediately turned on the hair dryer...

"If this goes on, things are not good!"

Li Tiancheng muttered to himself.

Liverpool's style of play is self-contained, requiring the players to continuously form a local numerical advantage through technology and running, encircle and suppress opponents on the defensive end, and attack the penalty area on the offensive end.

But now Cisse did not suppress the opponent's defense at all, but was directly kicked out of the penalty area. The connection between Manchester United's back line and the midfielder was extremely close, leaving no space at all. Make a threat.

And the encirclement on the defensive end was also messed up!
Seeing that Ronaldinho broke through again and made a pass, O'Shea was unguarded at the back point, but his shooting skills were really bad, and he missed the goal. Li Tiancheng stood up immediately. Ronaldo is definitely a strong opponent!
This guy is really too active. Although the breakthrough method is a bit simple, it is useful to stop the bicycle and then directly change direction to accelerate.

After the attention of the Liverpool players shifted to him more, Manchester United left veteran Giggs broke out in a timely manner.

Manchester United's old routine of flying on both wings exudes new brilliance!
Giggs' breakthrough allowed Josemi to foul.

"This position is a bit dangerous."

Hey!
Just as Li Tiancheng finished muttering, he cursed out loud.

Giggs took a free kick, the arc was just right, the high wall had nothing to do with this arc, the football flew over the wall to the far point, and Sylvester, who followed up to grab the point, was unguarded , Headed the goal calmly!

Dudek couldn't do anything, and Sylvester slammed the ball straight into the net!
"..."

There were applause and cheers at Old Trafford. Although the momentum was far worse than that at Anfield, it still made Li Tiancheng fall into a state of aphasia.

Seeing Benitez blushing and yelling, Li Tiancheng probably thought the same as him.

It was actually scored by Sylvester!
This guy is the notorious big colander in the Manchester United team this season, the chief culprit of Manchester United's performance, and now he actually opened the scoring in the red derby!

Moreover, he was active and decisive on the defensive end in this game, and he was not a colander at all. Both Garcia and Kewell were robbed by him, and occasionally he would be overwhelmed by Ferdinand if he successfully broke through.

What is this all about.

The key is that the free kick defense is so poor, there is no one in front of the penalty area!

"In the 20 minutes of the first half, Manchester United took the lead! The main credit for this ball is undoubtedly Giggs. The arc and angle of his free kick are excellent. Sylvester just needs to set his head! "Martin Taylor did not hesitate to praise Ryan Giggs.

"This is Giggs' 600th game for Manchester United. It's a great number. He's 31 years old. It's hard for him to play defenders with speed and dribbling as he did when he was young, but he passes the ball just as sharply. It is also easy to create a murderous intent, how wonderful this arc is, it is really intoxicating." Dennis Law was very excited.

Crazy Horse Hughes was also a little excited: "No, no, this is just Liverpool taking a nap. They made a low-level mistake and missed someone, but they will learn their lesson and pay back immediately!"

"This result is reasonable. So far in this game, Manchester United has an absolute upper hand. The Spanish warship built by Benitez failed to exert its firepower advantage. Instead, it seems to have hit the rocks." Martin Taylor has his own opinion .

Of course Benitez couldn't hear these ridicules and accusations. He had stopped roaring now, with his arms folded and his brows furrowed.

The situation is really a bit passive, but how to adjust it?It is too early to adjust personnel now.

Gerrard's position is a bit too deep, and he is also restrained too much energy by the defense. The offensive end lacks his impact, and he can't start the situation. But now let him go forward. Alonso is too risky.

Hamann should have been brought in to free Gerrard, who is playing too little offensively.

Now we can only tighten the fence first, don't continue to lose the ball, and there is still time to counterattack in the second half.

Benitez made up his mind, but the morale boosted Manchester United started a fierce attack.

For a while, Liverpool had no choice but to parry.

Fortunately, in such positional warfare, the well-drilled tactics have not been completely lost.

It can also frequently form a pincer attack on Manchester United's players holding the ball, making Manchester United's offense look massive without any practical effect.

The point is that Riise has been able to effectively limit Ronaldo with the help of his teammates. Without this explosive point, Manchester United's offense will not be so sharp.

After Liverpool finally destroyed Manchester United's offense, they handed the ball to Alonso. Alonso passed Gerrard diagonally. At this time, Manchester United's defense was relatively empty, and Gerrard directly chose a long pass!
It's Ferdinand again!

He rushed to the point of the ball again before Cisse, and easily destroyed Liverpool's counterattack!

It is indeed a well-deserved reputation. No wonder it is said that Manchester United lost all four players last season because of this guy's suspension.

However, was Cisse restrained too much?

"Why is Cisse trying to escape? Is this to avoid physical contact with Ferdinand? Even if he can't grab it, he shouldn't let him destroy the ball so easily!" Li Tiancheng secretly slandered.

This situation can't make people feel anxious. Manchester United's two wings completely suppressed Liverpool's wing. Josemi and Riise's offensive power is relatively strong, but now they have no time to display it.

Liverpool's central road can't take advantage of it.
