Chapter 774 The Red Army’s Counterattack

After missing the goal, Berbatov did not thank Gao Xiaodong and Rooney for creating the opportunity. He opened his arms and ran to the stands with wild cheers.

After scoring in the double red meeting, the handsome Berbatov can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Since he joined the Red Devils Manchester United with a high price of 30.5 million pounds, the forward who was previously proud of Tottenham has been criticized by the harsh Red Devils fans. They criticized.

In the first season, the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year played 31 times in the English League, but only scored 9 goals. Such a dismal performance is seriously inconsistent with his worth. Many football critics and Manchester United fans believe that this is another 3,000,000 parallel import Mr. Ferguson introduced after Argentine midfielder Veron, while Berba is lazy on the court. His style is even ridiculed by Red Devils fans as "Brother Chic".

Berbatov made progress last season, but he only scored 12 goals and did not perform well in key games. Many fans criticized him for not being worthy of the hot-blooded and tough Red Devils.

With the arrival of the highly offensive Gao Xiaodong and forward Hernandez, Berbatov's position has become even more embarrassing. If he does not actively perform, he may become a fringe player for Manchester United.

Under pressure, Xiaosha broke out and scored frequently this season. Now he relies on his diligence to score a goal that almost sealed the victory in the Double Red Club.

Ferguson once again rushed out of the coaching bench and cheered. He was more happy to see an active running Berbatov than scoring a goal.

Berbatov's talent is undoubted, which is why Ferguson gave up Gao Xiaodong to buy him. However, Ferguson never expected that Berbatov was so lazy. When he encountered a weak team, he could not even run as far as the goalkeeper.

This was something Ferguson could not tolerate. He had talked with Berbatov several times and criticized him in person, but the effect was very small. Ferguson even considered selling Berbatov, but he did not expect to bring in Gao Xiaodong and El After Nandez, he actually mobilized Berbatov's enthusiasm, which gave Ferguson an unexpected surprise.

Ferguson's only regret now is Rooney's form. After the transfer scandal and the prostitution scandal, Rooney's form plummeted. Last season, Rooney scored 36 goals and was the team's top scorer. Now he has five league games and one Champions League game. In a Community Shield Cup, Rooney only scored two goals, including a penalty kick, which is really shocking.

Rooney himself was even more regretful. When Berbatov celebrated gracefully, Rooney turned to Gao Xiaodong in annoyance. "Gao, I'm sorry, I wasted another pass from you."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and patted Rooney on the back, "It's okay, it's still early. I think it's possible to score a big score today."

Rooney clenched his fists and said, "I won't waste it next time."

The on-site commentator Martin was a little stunned that the second goal came so quickly, "God, in less than 15 minutes, Manchester United is leading by two goals. Is this the rhythm of massacre? In all previous double red meetings, 2 goals have been scored so quickly. Football situations are extremely rare. Since entering the UK, the two teams have played against each other 38 times. The biggest score was when Manchester United defeated Liverpool 4:0 in the O2O3 season. Are we going to break this score record today?"

The Scousers were stunned.

Less than 15 minutes into the game, we were already two goals behind. This situation was something Liverpool people had never seen before, and it was absolutely unacceptable to them.

Gerrard and Carragher were almost red-eyed. They shouted at every player, "Attack! Run! We must not lose to Manchester United!"

Liverpool have just changed coaches and have many new players. Since the start of the game, the team has not performed well. They also hope to play at a high level in such a strong dialogue to help themselves win or stabilize their main position.

After falling behind by two goals, Liverpool's players became anxious. After kick-off, they took a desperate stance to confront Manchester United.

Everyone was running wildly across the field, and the golden boy Torres also became a B2B forward. He hit Manchester United's penalty area in front and returned to his own penalty area in the back.

After Manchester United scored two goals, their mentality was a little relaxed. In the 20th minute of the game, Nani tried to pass Konchesky.

Stealed from behind by Gerrard, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to Joe Cole for a counterattack.

Gerrard ran down the wing, attracting the attention of Manchester United's defense, and Joe Cole quickly broke into the center.

After the two passed the ball in succession, the ball returned to Joe Cole's feet. At this time, Spain's golden boy Torres suddenly made a diagonal pass from the center to the right rib of the penalty area.

Joe Cole is one of the few players in Liverpool's lineup who has exquisite skills and the ability to pass through. As soon as Torres started, he immediately passed the ball into the penalty area.

Torres ran right behind center back Evans, and Vidic could no longer follow him. Evans quickly turned around and pursued Torres, preparing to block his shot.

However, Torres entered the penalty area like a dragon entering the sea. He was not in a hurry to shoot. When Evans was approaching, he suddenly spiked the ball back.

This spike is very fatal. As long as Evans is spiked, Torres will have no obstacles in front of him and can directly face goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and shoot.

Evans had no choice but to make a tackle and reach out to tackle Torres.

Referee Weber did not hesitate, blew the whistle, took out the card, and pointed to the penalty spot.

Evans shook his head and was speechless. He had nothing to do about this foul. If he wanted to complain, he could only blame Gao Xiaodong and Scholes in the midfield for returning too slowly and not causing interference to Joe Cole, even if Joe Cole passed the ball slowly. One shot and Evans didn't need to foul.

But Gao Xiaodong and Scholes were also wronged. They had just tried their best to defend, but no matter how fast people ran, they could not match the speed of the ball. They could only watch Joe Cole pass the ball.

Commentator Martin said that there was nothing Evans could do about the ball. Joe Cole passed the ball too well. The reason why Joe Cole was able to pass the ball easily was that their counterattack was too sharp and did not give Manchester United time to defend. The root cause of the error was that Nani's pass was intercepted. After 2-0, Nani was a little drifting. He could handle the ball more safely, such as passing the ball.

Liverpool's first penalty kicker is Gerrard. Of course, this penalty kick that affects the progress of the game can only be taken by Gerrard.

Facing Van der Sar, Gerrard pushed the lower right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot. Van der Sar misjudged the direction and the ball flew into the net without any suspense.

1:2

Taking advantage of Manchester United's mistakes, Liverpool regained a point, and the world-famous Double Red Club immediately became suspense again.

The Liverpool fans were excited. Although they were not many in number, they were united and their momentum was not weak. After Gerrard scored, they sang the team song "Never Walk Alone" together to encourage the Red Army soldiers to fight back.

The Manchester United players were awakened by Liverpool's counterattack. They immediately launched an equal-force press in the midfield and seized the ball again.

However, after Liverpool got a goal back, their momentum and luck increased. In the 25th minute of the game, Meireles, who was the attacking midfielder, took Gao Xiaodong away from the side and gave up his position in the middle to Gerrard.

Berbatov returned to defense but only harassed Gerrard for a while before giving up. Only Scholes pursued Gerrard closely.

Gerrard made an emergency stop to get rid of Scholes who was following him, and immediately passed the ball to Paulson who followed him in.

Rooney followed Paulson back to defend, but Paulson did not stop the ball, kicked the ball out, and played a one-two with Gerrard.

Gerrard was younger and faster. He added another and completely got rid of Scholes and went straight to the center of the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong was worried that Gerrard would shoot from a long distance or hit the back line directly. He did not dare to follow Meireles and could only rush back to the center to help defend.

Gerrard saw that Gao Xiaodong came in too quickly, so he gave up attacking the penalty area and passed the ball to Meireles.

Meireles can serve as an attacking midfielder, and his passing ability and consciousness are certainly not weak. Before receiving the ball, he immediately passed the ball diagonally into the gap between Evans and full-back Evra.

Torres was so alert. He started when Meireles received the ball. When Meireles passed the ball, he immediately ran behind Evans.

After Evans received a yellow card, it was Vidic who was marking Torres.

However, Vidic's speed is incomparable to Torres. As soon as Torres started, Vidic had no choice but to commit a tactical foul and reach out to drag Torres down.

Beep!

Referee Webber's whistle sounded again. He took out a yellow card to warn Vidic and gave Liverpool a free kick at the top of the penalty area.
