Defeating Chelsea and forcing Chelsea coach Villas-Boas to dismiss get out of class, this battle was very beautiful. Eighty-eight reading, o

If there is any flaw, it is that Rooney was suspended for 4 games after the game.

This is bad news. Manchester United will play Liverpool in the next game. Without Rooney, it will have a big impact on Manchester United.

Manchester United currently has a large frontcourt, but only Gao Xiaodong and Rooney are world-class. Once Rooney is absent, Liverpool will definitely attack Gao Xiaodong frantically. If others cannot step up, Manchester United will be in trouble.

Manchester United also tried to postpone Rooney's suspension to the next game, but the FA rejected Manchester United's request.

Liverpool was eliminated by Manchester United in the FA Cup, and they have been feeling angry. This time they want revenge in the league.

The game will be played at Old Trafford, the home ground of Manchester United, at one o'clock at noon.

Manchester United were not used to playing early games, and the opponent was an old enemy they had just played against. It was a bit slow for the Manchester United players to get into the game, but after the start, they were beaten by Liverpool instead.

In the 5th minute of the game, Liverpool counterattacked with a long ball, and Suarez quickly reversed the offside and advanced forward.

Ferdinand immediately turned around and chased back. Evra on the wing also returned to defend in the middle. Both of their attention were on the ball and Suarez. When Evra was making a clearance, he happened to collide with Ferdinand.

Evra was fine, but Ferdinand was hit in the chest and abdomen and fell to the ground without getting up.

A stretcher came on to carry Ferdinand out for treatment, and Ferguson quickly asked Smalling to warm up and prepare to come on as a substitute.

Ferdinand was also a tough guy. After a short treatment, he said he could play. After Ferguson asked the team doctor, Ferdinand was allowed to continue playing. Eighty-eight years of reading,

Ferdinand won warm applause from Manchester United fans when he returned to play. Ferdinand lived up to expectations and resolved a cross from the wing by Liverpool forward Kuyt on his return.

Ferdinand's return to the field did not inspire the fighting spirit of the Manchester United players. Everyone seemed to be in a state of sleepiness. Even Gao Xiaodong's performance was not as good as usual.

Manchester United's performance gave Liverpool players greater confidence. They became more courageous as they fought and created several shooting opportunities in Manchester United's penalty area.

In the 12th minute of the game, Liverpool Suarez separated the sides. Liverpool full-back Glenn Johnson passed Evra and broke into the penalty area to shoot from a small angle. The ball hit goalkeeper De Gea and bounced off the baseline.

Ferguson was dissatisfied with Evra's performance and angrily yelled at Evra at his assistant coach.

Liverpool's corner kick was not taken well, and the ball was confiscated by De Gea. De Gea threw the ball with his hand to launch a counterattack, but the ball was intercepted by a Liverpool player. Enrique passed it to Suarez, and Suarez directly lobbed the goal, and the ball was slightly higher. beams.

Manchester United's forwards also performed no better than their defenders and goalkeepers.

Valencia broke through from the wing and passed back. Gao Xiaodong received the ball and got rid of Tangning horizontally, passing diagonally into the penalty area between the opponent's double teams.

Gao Xiaodong passed the ball very well, right on Welbeck's running route, but Welbeck started slowly and waited for Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball before running. As a result, the ball was quickly confiscated by Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.

After Liverpool locked Gao Xiaodong, it was difficult for Manchester United's offense to pose a threat to them, and Liverpool's players became more and more bold in offense.

Although Liverpool has the advantage on the field, their forwards' ability to seize opportunities is also average.

There were a lot of shots, but they were never able to get the ball into Manchester United's goal.

In the 37th minute of the game, Ferdinand made a long pass from the backcourt. When Henderson was competing for a header, he was interfered by Welbeck and rubbed the ball. The ball landed at the edge of the penalty area.

This ball might as well have been untouchable. If it was not touched, it would have been cleared by the central defender behind. After Henderson touched it, the ball fell into a gap that no one could reach.

Gao Xiaodong had quick eyes and quick legs. He accelerated to get rid of the defender and shot ahead of Liverpool center back Skrtel.

The ball shot up from the ground and roared straight to the right side of the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong shot, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina's line of sight was blocked by Skrtel, and he could not see the flight path of the ball clearly. By the time Reina saw it, the ball had already reached the small penalty area.

Reina subconsciously flew to pounce, but as soon as his body jumped up, the ball flew into the net.

1:0

Manchester United played very poorly, but Gao Xiaodong took advantage of his opponent's mistakes and scored the first goal.

In competitive games, winning is the key.

Although Manchester United fans were dissatisfied with the content of Manchester United's play, this dissatisfaction was completely forgotten after the goal.

"aaa"

"High, high, high"

More than 60,000 Manchester United fans at the scene cheered in unison, and the momentum was earth-shattering.

This goal also cheered up Ferguson, who had been cursing on the coaching bench. He couldn't wait to rush out of the coaching bench with clenched fists and cheered loudly.

Liverpool's King Dalglish rolled his eyes in frustration on the sidelines.

Henderson's mistake was definitely the culprit, but Manchester United made more mistakes than Liverpool in the first half, but none of Liverpool's players were able to catch it.

"The gap, this is the gap"

Dalglish lamented to the assistant coach that if he had players like Gao Xiaodong in his hands, why would he fall behind despite having every advantage?

After cheering, the on-site commentator He Hui said, "In these 37 minutes, Manchester United did not create a few shooting opportunities. This is not a good opportunity, but Xiaodong scored the ball. This is the way in football games. Good performance does not necessarily mean good results." If you can win, those who perform poorly will not necessarily lose.”

However, He Hui also expressed concerns about Manchester United's situation. "Although we were lucky to take the lead, if we play like this later, it's hard to say whether we can hold on to the score. Suarez is also a very good striker."

Gao Xiaodong's goal was like a shot of xgfenji for the Manchester United players. In the last ten minutes of the first half, Manchester United played very well, going from being suppressed by Liverpool to having both sides attack and defend each other, and even occupied the upper hand. Upside.

At the end of the first half, after returning to the locker room, Ferguson did not criticize the players much. After all, the score was ahead and the game after the goal was played very well. Ferguson believed that the players were starting to enter the state.

In accordance with the principle of the winner not tossing, Ferguson did not make any adjustments to the position or playing style of the starting players.

Liverpool's players returned to the dressing room only to be severely criticized by coach Dalglish, especially the forward players.

Dalglish believed that the team created scoring opportunities in the first half, but it was mainly because of the forward's poor ability to seize opportunities that the good situation was lost.

Dalglish also made slight adjustments to the position and playing style of the starting players, allowing Suarez to have a wider range of activities at the front, creating opportunities for Gerrard's back-row insertion and Kuyt's diagonal insertion. 11
