Chapter 60, 1 Kill
Alonso didn't lift his head, he passed the ball forward, and the ball went straight to Liverpool's half along the left side. At this time, on the left side of Manchester United, a black figure went straight to the ball at a rapid speed! Jin Taige and Rogers both stood up at the same time, came to the sidelines, and watched the situation on the field nervously.
Although they were equally nervous, the mood of the two was different. Because the person running towards the ball on the field now is Manchester United's left midfielder Mahrez!
During this period of training, Alonso and Mahrez called very much. Although both of them were newcomers who had just joined the team in the summer, the cooperation between the two of them was unexpectedly tacit, as if they were together. A player who has been with him for a long time.
Just now Jintaige asked Alonso to defend with all his strength and give Mahrez enough forward space, and Alonso understood in his heart.
Alonso just broke off Aspas' extraordinary move, because there were two Liverpool players around, so Alonso didn't have time to observe the situation before judging his next move. Based on the cooperation between him and Mahrez in training, Alonso guessed that he has grabbed the ball now, and Mahrez must be advancing along the wing.
So Alonso didn't lift his head, and passed out with a long kick. When he looked up, Mahrez was running along the sideline with the ball as he expected!
pretty!
Alonso waved his fist, and he wanted to rush up to help Mahrez, but he stopped again.
Just now the boss told me to stand firm, but I should not go forward at this time. so as not to be counterattacked by the opponent.
Thinking of this, Alonso did not step forward. He stood in a defensive position and watched Mahrez rushing towards the penalty area with anticipation.
All eyes were on Mahrez at this time, Van Persie was waiting outside the penalty area, and Ryan Giggs was running all the way, just like scoring the first goal, waiting for the opportunity of the second point.
At this time, in addition to the two central defenders, Liverpool was desperately trying to catch up. This person is the midfielder Lucas.
Lucas said in his heart that it was dangerous. Fortunately, the head coach asked me to hold back and defend, otherwise it would be a three-on-two situation, which would be really dangerous.
At this moment, Lucas ran forward while paying attention to Giggs who was also pushing forward behind him. Lucas' brain is running at high speed: Manchester United used this tactic just now. If I go to grab Mahrez now, if he passes the ball to Ryan Giggs, then the goal will be dangerous again. Now my best option is to cut off Mahrez's return to Ryan Giggs and push him to the bottom line, he can only choose to cross to Robin van Persie, and Robin van Persie is surrounded by two central defenders, they will definitely be able to defend Van Persie.
Thinking of this, although Lucas kept his footsteps, he did not go to grab the ball, but stood up in advance on the route of Mahrez's passing.
When Mahrez saw Lucas like this, he was also a little worried. Now that it is impossible to pass on Giggs, and there is not much chance for him to cut in, how should this be done?
But at this moment, Van Persie suddenly moved. He ran a few steps back suddenly, and suddenly opened the distance with the central defender.
This is a great opportunity for Mahrez!
At this time, Morris on the commentary box was very nervous: "Mahrez does not have a suitable passing route now, how will he handle this ball?"
"Van Persie in the penalty area suddenly dropped back and caught the two central defenders off guard!"
"Mahrez passed the ball! Van Persie, he got the ball in the box!"
"At this point his angle is too small, there is no room to shoot, and Ryan Giggs has already arrived. Are they going to copy the first goal again?"
Giggs had already run to the position at this time, Liverpool central defender Agger took a look and hurriedly stepped forward to defend Giggs, leaving Skrtel alone to defend Van Persie.
But no one thought of it,
Van Persie didn't pass the ball, he suddenly accelerated in place and took the ball to the bottom line!
Skrtel did not expect Van Persie to make such a choice at all, and he was pulled two positions by Van Persie in an instant.
At this time, Morris on the TV was shouting excitedly: "Van Persie didn't choose to pass the ball! He passed Skrtel in the penalty area!"
"Will Van Persie pass the ball to Ryan Giggs on the other side?"
"He chose to shoot himself! Goal in!!! Van Persie scored a fantastic goal from an almost zero angle and Manchester United made it 2-0 before the end of the first half!"
Before the end of the first half, Van Persie's brilliant goal ignited the Anfield again.
"This goal is so beautiful!" Morris said excitedly, "At the moment of shooting, Van Persie is like Van Basten's soul possessed! You must know that Van Basten also scored such a zero. Corner goal, it was still in the distant 1998 European Cup final. I didn't expect that today, 15 years later, Van Persie successfully copied the goal of his predecessors!"
Kim Tiger on the sidelines hugged Scholes and Phelan.
Phelan shouted: "Tiger, we are 2-0, 2-0!"
Scholes hugged Jin Tiger tightly. Although he didn't speak, he couldn't hide his excitement.
The first half ended quickly, in the locker room, Jin Taige praised the team members, especially the veterans represented by Giggs.
In the second half, Liverpool was still bombarding indiscriminately, and Jin Tiger was even less anxious. His team is now leading by two goals, and it is more and more stable.
When the second half reached about 70 minutes, Jin Taige made continuous tactical adjustments. First, Ferdinand, who was already carrying a yellow card, was replaced with Van Dijk; then Nani was replaced with Ashley Young, and he continued to strengthen the wing attack; finally, Kim Tiger replaced Giggs, who was overstretched. In place of Martial, he let Rooney fall back to the midfield position and let Martial come behind Van Persie to rely on the speed of the counterattack.
Liverpool also made substitution adjustments. Rodgers replaced three attacking players such as Sterling in a row. He wanted to give it a go and storm Manchester United in the last 20 minutes.
But I didn't expect that when the game came to 80 minutes, Van Persie scored again.
This time it was Kante's midfield steal and handed the ball to Ashley Young, who had just been replaced. Ashley Young advanced along the right and made a cross from close to the bottom line. Van Persie in the middle outflanked the header from the front and scored the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
United led Liverpool 3-0 with 10 minutes remaining.
Off the field, Jin Taige returned to the coaching bench and looked at Rodgers who was furious on the sidelines next door. He sneered: "The goal of double-killing Liverpool this season has been achieved halfway. We won, and one kill is a success!"
