The Ball at Your Feet

It is too unexpected for a team like Manchester United to be out of the group stage.

Compared to several other teams, their performance was too early. Arsenal has always been regarded as a typical example of a weak European war, but this time, they have five wins and one draw in the group stage, with outstanding results. It is understandable that Chelsea has encountered the dead group because of poor performance in the past and not a good foundation. And Liverpool has been almost as smooth as cutting melons and vegetables in the Cup during this period. I thought that a relatively balanced group would encounter some obstacles for Liverpool, but the facts have proved that Liverpool is completely in this group. Superior to others, for them, group number one is at their fingertips.

Therefore, the most surprising thing this year is that Manchester United's group is out-and their way out is still so embarrassing, it turned out to be six games and one win, and the group is the bottom!

This team has a team like Lille that has been a foreign war layman for many years! Although Villarreal and Benfica are both excellent, they are still inferior to Manchester United. Riquelme and Simao are both excellent players, but they are still in front of Manchester United. How could it be considered a superstar? , How about Manchester United, shouldn't be the last out of the group!

"Maybe Manchester United has indeed reached the time for major reforms."

The reporters are cryptic, but in fact, everyone has the same meaning: Ferguson is old and is no longer his age. He hasn't brought Manchester United a championship for two years. Now, Manchester United has a new boss, has funds, and the competition is more inspiring. Therefore, Manchester United needs a new and better coach.

Since the Glazer family took over, they have not paid any money, and everyone has recognized their stinginess. At this time, the Champions League was eliminated, which means a lot of loss of income. Can they still tolerate it? No one knows, but Ferguson's dismissal of get out of class is indeed what many people expect: this old guy has ruled the Premier League for too long, and he dismissed get out of class, which is a relief for all other teams.

But such a wish is obviously just a good wish: soon, Manchester United came the news: Not only will Ferguson stay in the team, but also that Manchester United will receive a large transfer fee to introduce new aid for the team.

And, more than that, they have also pointed out the candidates for the new aid: they valued the outstanding midfielder Kompany in the Belgian league and the Bundesliga defender Lucio. Although it is difficult to dig from Bayern, Kompany is also a super new star, I am afraid it is not cheap, but obviously, this time Manchester United is also determined to purge the back line.

In fact, such a thing is quite normal: the reason why Manchester United did not take care of the defense in the past was because the goalkeeper on the defense line was too bad. What they need is a scavenger goalkeeper, such a goalkeeper is difficult to find, and before finding a good goalkeeper, Manchester United would rather train new players.

Now, the veteran goalkeeper Van der Sar has played beyond imagination, and what is even more surprising is that Giggs, who was forced to play as a midfielder after Keane and Alan Smith were reimbursed one after another, but in this half of the season Inside, the transformation is rapid, and the role change that he has been unable to complete has been completed. Now Manchester United has completed most of the reform work, and the rest is just how to complete the system.

This kind of news made all the secret competitors sigh: Manchester United still has the confidence after all. In the face of such an enemy, it is not enough to make them chaotic themselves.

"However, we didn't rely on our opponents to be weak enough to win!" In the dressing room, everyone encouraged each other. After all, the game has to go on. This season, they have a great chance of winning the championship. If they win the championship, they can also postpone Manchester United's dream of pulling Liverpool from the throne.

Although, it is estimated that the stubborn old man of Manchester United will not surrender so easily. He will probably sit in that position until Manchester United has won enough to beat Liverpool, or he will die by himself. However, sometimes even Liverpool people will feel that he is already a scene in the Premier League. What's wrong with letting him sit more? After all, for all young people, the absence of Manchester United's Ferguson is the same as Liverpool's victory in the league title. It is too long a matter.

After this incident, Liverpool also ushered in the next game. Their opponent is Middlesbrough.

Many people have speculated that Liverpool may not play well in this game: because after playing this game, they will go to Japan to play the Club World Cup. At this time, Liverpool players have begun to prepare for some jet lag. Whether this will cause him to play abnormally is also a matter of great concern.

But obviously, Liverpool still did not fail. This is the second time Liverpool have played against Middlesbrough in the season, and in this game, Liverpool played more imposingly than the first. Less than five minutes into the game, Morientes was back in the penalty area. After Gerrard received the pass, he struck the goal hard and scored the first goal for Liverpool!

"Liverpool's game is getting better and better now, Gerrard's goal is very beautiful, Liverpool leads 1-0."

But soon, Liverpool found a second chance. This time, using the opportunity of a free kick, Zhao Yaning put the ball into the penalty area. It was Morientes again, and after a header, he pushed the ball to the far point.

Gerrard, who responded there, made a relaxed push and scored the second goal.

This also made the Liverpool players immediately interested.

"Give him a hat and come out!"

Two goals in a row, one step away from the hat, the players naturally hope that Gerrard has a hat trick. After all, Gerrard, who was born as a full-back and played as a midfielder in his early years, has never had a hat-trick in his career until now.

And now, just 9 minutes into the game, Liverpool had a 2-0 lead, and Gerrard had scored two goals, so everyone naturally wanted to give him a hat trick.

But with their appearance, the opponent is also prepared to prevent Gerald from performing a hat trick. And although Middlesbrough is much weaker than Liverpool, but at this time, they are staring at Gerrard, which makes their defense a lot simpler.

"Don't just think about passing the ball to me. Going more goals is a serious matter." For Liverpool's style of play, Gerrard also shouted twice. But now, Middlesbrough’s attack can hardly be fought, Liverpool is completely at halftime, and they naturally don’t have to worry too much.

At this time, Zhao Yaning and Zhao Yaning were also thinking about how to pass the ball to Gerrard. Although letting him wear a hat, falling in the penalty area is another way, but Zhao Yaning wanted to come and be able to play more beautifully. Why did he have to take a penalty?

And if Gerrard plugs into the penalty area, Zhao Yaning will pass the ball from the side. After all, there are too many people in the penalty area to kick the ball. And if he enters the penalty area, Gerrard will wait outside the large penalty area for an opportunity, and this position is really unsafe...

Zhao Yaning also tried to rely on an internal cut and kicked the ball out of the penalty area and gave it to Gerrard, but Gerrard shot the ball into the sky with an anti-aircraft gun. Long shots are not safe after all. Not as good as the restricted area operation.

And Zhao Yaning did not try without trying. But his long pass was ruined by his opponents-the Premier League team's prevention of long passes is still not very wrong, especially when they also know that Liverpool's target is Gerrard. Work becomes simpler.

Liverpool's offensive points are very scattered. The advantage of this is that they don't have to accumulate all tasks on the same person in every game, and they don't have to worry about someone's poor state. But the disadvantage of this is that it is naturally not too complete, and extremely deadly attack means, it is difficult for any one person in the game to achieve overall success.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool, which was too hasty, failed to score again. After the second half, Zhao Yaning thought of some other ideas-as a commander, this time is the time for him to use his brain.

He shrank his position and returned to the midfield. This approach, Figo and Gerrard immediately understood: he wanted to induce the opponent to attack.

At this time, Middlesbrough didn't have too many choices. They were already 0-2 behind. If they didn't attack, it would be a dead end. They could only attack. However, even when they counterattack, their backcourt has left enough as many as six people to keep an eye on the defense.

However, this is enough for Zhao Yaning.

After catching the ball again and turning around, Zhao Yaning did not rush to accelerate, but ran forward while looking at the opponent's back line. Boateng was the first to rush to defend, but Zhao Yaning easily smashed the ball and escaped him. Behind him, Morrison and Dorivar rushed over at the same time. Zhao Yaning pushed the ball to the left with a kick, and after drawing Morrison's attention, he swiped it to the right again. The whole person suddenly accelerated, dodged Dorivar's supplementary defense, and rushed towards the backcourt.

Kudlu was the first to rush over, but Zhao Yaning staggered and staggered him. His tackle failed to touch Zhao Yaning, but Zhao Yaning slightly changed direction. And Li Got had already rushed up outside the penalty area, he was ready for the foul, and Zhao Yaning rushed to him, when he stretched out his hand, Zhao Yaning suddenly pulled the ball and turned around!

Rigott had to post it, but taking advantage of his chaos, Zhao Yaning knocked the ball to the right with his heel, and he quickly chased it up. Rigotra lived in his jersey, but failed to hold him, and he quickly broke through. At this time, in the penalty area, Morientes and Gerrard also broke into the penalty area.

Zhao Yaning's body did not turn, nor did he raise his right foot, which made Southgate, who stayed in the penalty area, not guarded against his sudden pass. But Zhao Yaning still swung his concealed calf lightly, relying on the explosive power of the calf to kick the ball out!

Morientes, who was a point earlier, took a step forward and when Southgate's attention was drawn away, he also let the ball roll behind him. The late Gerrard picked up the ball. He had only the goalkeeper in front of him. At this time, he had no reason not to score the ball.

Get up, stay away, shoot!

Gerrard kicked the ball to the goal, goalkeeper Schwartz fell to the ground, but he could do nothing about the ball. The football rolls into the net and Liverpool has another victory!

"Stephen Gerrard!!! Just now, he performed the first hat trick of his career!"

Gerrard raised his hand excitedly and waved wildly towards the stands. Since switching to the midfielder, he has played better day by day, and now, he has even played a hat trick that he has never had before. The team is getting better and better, the players' self-confidence is getting higher and higher, the team is back to the best condition, which makes the players also believe that Liverpool will definitely become even better!
