Conceding a goal in twenty minutes is a big blow to any team, but Manchester United is an exception.

Manchester United does not have the fragile technical skills of Arsenal and Barcelona. It is a very tough team that often reverses others and is rarely defeated by others.

After Liverpool scored, Manchester United's morale actually improved.

The Red Devils players ran more actively and fought more fiercely, regaining the disadvantage they had before losing the ball.

It's not that Liverpool was conservative after scoring a goal. They were already weaker than Manchester United, and scoring goals relied on taking a risk. If Manchester United showed the same intensity as Liverpool, Liverpool wouldn't be able to hold on.

Liverpool's defense is very good. The two central defenders Skrtel and Agger are both world-class. Liverpool's poor performance is mainly due to the poor midfield.

Facing Manchester United's crazy counterattack, Liverpool's defense performed very solidly. They cooperated with the midfielder to separate Gao Xiaodong from his teammates and prevent Gao Xiaodong from touching the ball.

Gao Xiaodong has seen this kind of treatment many times, and he is not in a hurry. He keeps running around in the frontcourt and surprises his opponents when there is an opportunity, waiting for Liverpool to make mistakes.

Gao Xiaodong can play without the ball and can also break through with the ball. This gives Liverpool people a headache because they have to be highly concentrated and not careless at all. This will also tire the defender.

The players are fighting on the court, and the head coach is not idle on the sidelines either.

Ferguson didn't know whether he really wanted to replace De Gea or wanted to stimulate De Gea. After De Gea made a mistake in passing a pass to Evra, he actually asked substitute goalkeeper Lindegaard to warm up.

The coach didn't say a word, but with just this move, the Manchester United players on the field were filled with excitement.

This is a game that the whole world is watching. It would be extremely embarrassing if you were substituted before the first half was finished.

The Manchester United players were already very hard-working, but now they were even more desperate, almost suppressing Liverpool beyond the halfway line.

Although Liverpool is 1 goal ahead, Dalglish is still dissatisfied. He believes that no team can overpower Liverpool at Anfield, let alone Manchester United.

Dalglish kept yelling from the sidelines, as if Liverpool were lagging behind.

Manchester United kept applying pressure and attacked wave after wave, without giving Liverpool a chance to breathe. In the 40th minute of the game, Liverpool finally made a mistake under extreme pressure.

Scholes made a diagonal pass to the wing to find defender Rafael who had intervened.

Liverpool full-back Enrique was a bit nervous, thinking that he could steal the ball, but Scholes passed the ball very badly, and Enrique found that he could not touch it after he went up.

Enrique lost his defensive position and Rafael easily caught the ball and went down.

When Rafael reached the bottom, Gao Xiaodong outflanked the goal at high speed, but when he was approaching the small penalty area, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stopped suddenly and then made a diagonal pass forward.

Liverpool's two central defenders were shaken to pieces by Gao Xiaodong. Their waists and legs were almost broken, and they failed to keep up with Gao Xiaodong.

Rafael was always watching Gao Xiaodong's movement. When he saw Gao Xiaodong advancing forward, he immediately passed the ball across.

This is a ground ball, very close to the goal, but the angle is very small, making it difficult to handle.

The opportunity was fleeting. Gao Xiaodong saw goalkeeper Reina rushing toward the near corner of the goal. He subconsciously rubbed the ball with his toes. The ball flew over Gao Xiaodong's head.

Go straight to the far corner of the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's move was a stroke of genius. Although the ball was not high, no one reacted and watched the ball fly into the back corner of the goal.

1:1

Gao Xiaodong equalized the score for Manchester United with a clever shot.

Gao Xiaodong was very happy to score such an inspired goal at Anfield.

Spreading his arms, like a gliding eagle, Gao Xiaodong flew towards the stands.

“High high high goagoagoa”

The Manchester United fans who came to help cheered loudly and shouted Gao Xiaodong's name in unison.

Ferguson suddenly jumped out of the coaching bench, clenched his fists and ran to the sidelines, screaming and jumping towards the court.

Dalglish, who had been shouting and commanding, fell silent at this time. He frowned and looked at the court coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The on-site commentator exclaimed: "Gao Xiaodong has always dominated the football world with his domineering long-range shots. What happened today? He actually scored a goal like Messi. This goal is so clever. It has the feeling of pushing a thousand pounds with four ounces as the Chinese say. . Some people say that Su Ke’s feet can play the violin, and now it seems that Gao Xiaodong’s feet can also play the violin.”

There are still five minutes left in the first half of the game. Generally speaking, the away team that equalizes the score will shrink a little, recuperate and wait for the end of the game.

The home team will often seize the last moment to counterattack and strive to score again.

But Manchester United's style of play is crazy. After the goal, Manchester United played more fiercely and pressed harder.

After Liverpool lost the ball, they also stepped up the fight. The two sides became more and more explosive. From time to time, there were flying tackles, kicking with the ball and other bad actions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee quickly took out his card and warned the players of Manchester United and Liverpool, asking them to calm down and focus on playing football.

In the last five minutes, although both sides worked hard, the time was too short and no one was able to score again. The score of 1:1 remained until the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

The first half of the game was evenly matched, with no one taking much advantage.

Liverpool fans were also able to accept such a score and scene. When the Liverpool players returned to the locker room, the Liverpool fans kept singing You'll Never Walk Alone, reminding the Liverpool players that the fans have always shared their fate with them.

Manchester United fans were also applauding and cheering for their players, but their numbers were too small and their momentum was completely suppressed. It looked like they were performing a pantomime.

Back in the locker room, the Manchester United players gathered around Gao Xiaodong and asked him how he thought of shooting like that.

Gao Xiaodong said: "I didn't think about it. If I did, I probably wouldn't cum like that."

Pogba is very flattering and said: "Why?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "That's too much cum. I should cum in a close angle."

Scholes said: "Kick goalkeeper Reina into the goal."

Gao Xiaodong and all the players laughed.

After a while, Ferguson came in. Ferguson was quite satisfied with the game, especially he was full of praise for Gao Xiaodong's goal. He said that Gao Xiaodong had improved and now he could not only use brute force, but also use skill.

However, Ferguson directly scolded De Gea and Welbeck in their faces, saying that De Gea's mistake was due to a lack of brains, and that Welbeck was not much stronger than a wooden stake and did not play the role of a wingman for Gao Xiaodong.

Despite the scolding, Ferguson still trusted the starting 11 and did not replace De Gea and Welbeck.
