Chapter 775 Difficult Mode

Free kicks at the top of the penalty area are very dangerous.

What's more, there is also a free kick master Gerrard in the Red Army camp.

After referee Weber blew the whistle, more than 70,000 Red Devils and hundreds of millions of TV viewers couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my God! Another free kick!"

"Both centre-backs have received yellow cards!"

"Didn't you say that Weber is our official referee?"

"How to defend from behind? Torres is our nemesis!"

…

Red Devils fans are worried about the situation on the pitch.

"This is a bit troublesome!" the on-site commentator Martin shouted, "a foul in this position, Gerrard's free kick is no joke, but isn't the most dangerous thing about both central defenders receiving a yellow card? ? We have only played for less than 30 minutes, how will we play for the next 60 minutes?"

Manchester United head coach Ferguson's face darkened after Webber blew the whistle. He was not worried about the free kick, although it was also very dangerous. What he was most worried about was that both central defenders had yellow cards.

As the closest and most important central defender in the defense, if he is given a yellow card, he will be worried about whatever he does later. In this game, Vidic and Evans’ opponents are not cats and dogs, but Torres and Gerrard, Manchester United's defense behind them is indeed a problem.

Ferdinand has not recovered from his injury and has not been included in the squad. Brown is old and is not considered a genuine central defender, not to mention his age. Smalling is too young and inexperienced. If there is a problem with the central defender, Manchester United's defense will be in danger.

Facing Gerrard's free kick, Manchester United formed a thick wall and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was also prepared.

All the eyes of the more than 70,000 fans in the audience were fixed on the Red Army captain Gerrard, and the Manchester United fans kept booing in an attempt to disturb Gerrard.

Gerrard did not take a run-up, but stood less than two meters behind the ball. He looked stern and turned a deaf ear to the boos outside.

After Webb's whistle, Gerrard took a step forward and pushed a curved ball with the arch of his right foot into the upper left corner of the goal.

When Gerrard pushed, Torres, who was standing next to Vidic, suddenly ran away, and the ball flew towards the goal from the gap between Vidic and Torres.

With such a close distance, Van der Sar had no time to react. He could only watch the ball fly into the upper left corner of the goal.

2:2

Gerrard used a beautiful free kick to penetrate Van der Sar's fingers for the second time.

After scoring the goal, Gerrard was very excited. He ran wildly and raised his index finger to call his teammates to come over to celebrate. When he ran to the corner area, Gerrard also performed a passionate gliding to the ground.

The Manchester United fans were stunned. At the moment of the goal, no one in the entire stadium could speak.

The Manchester United players could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. This free kick was indeed wonderful, and Van der Sar had no way to save it.

The on-site commentator Martin sighed: "Beautiful! Gerrard! The soul of the Red Army! He always performs well at the Double Red Meeting! I thought it would be a massacre, but I didn't expect it to be a march." The ball battle has only lasted less than thirty minutes, and the two sides have already scored 4 goals. If the fight continues like this, one player may score a hat trick. In the history of the Double Red Club, no player has scored a hat trick in 20 years. It's a trick, and Manchester United are longer, no one has scored three goals in a double red match since 1946."

CCTV commentator He Hui also frowned and said: "The dream start has turned into difficult mode. The Double Red Club is really difficult to win. It is indeed a competition between the world's top teams. Let's return to the same starting line and see who is the winner." Let’s break the deadlock again first.”

On the court, Giggs and Scholes, the two bosses of Manchester United's Class of '92, briefly discussed it and called Gao Xiaodong over.

Scholes said seriously: "Gao, please don't push forward so hard. Both of our central defenders have received yellow cards. You stay in the backcourt to protect us. During the halftime break, look at your head." Then make plans for your child’s adjustment.

"

Gao Xiaodong has no objection. In this case, even if Scholes doesn't explain, as a midfielder with both offense and defense, Gao Xiaodong must put more energy into defense.

Of course Gao Xiaodong is eager to score more goals, but rather than scoring goals, Gao Xiaodong is more eager to win the Double Red Club. He does not want his first derby to end in failure.

The game started again, and the morale of the Liverpool players increased. They also seized Manchester United's life goal, which was that the central defenders did not cooperate well and were carrying yellow cards. They began to cross the midfield and find Torres through long passes and diagonal passes. Gerrard and Meireres directly attacked Manchester United's defense.

However, after Gao Xiaodong returned to the central defender, he could not only use his body to block the header, but also follow the player who intervened. It was much easier for Vidic and Evans to concentrate on dealing with Torres. Under the coverage of the two men, Liverpool's long pass and lob tactics had no effect. Instead, Manchester United counterattacked after successive interceptions of the ball.

In the 35th minute, after receiving the ball from Scholes, Nani quickly attacked along the wing. Konchesky and Paulson came over to defend. Nani quickly cut across to the penalty area, avoided the angle and then took a long shot.

The ball was blocked by defender Skrtel, but it still flew to the penalty area. Berbatov struggled to advance and shoot, but the ball was too fast and Berbatov could not touch the ball. The ball was confiscated by Reina.

Two minutes later, Johnson made a long diagonal pass to Torres from the wing. The ball was pushed out by Vidic. Gerrard and Gao Xiaodong both rushed to grab the ball.

Gerrard raised his leg and tried to pass the ball over Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong turned around faster than him. Before Gerrard could stop the ball, Gao Xiaodong quickly leaned into Gerrard's arms and leaned against him. Ladd was knocked aside and Gao Xiaodong kept the ball.

Gao Xiaodong took a few steps forward and saw Rooney and Berbatov running. Gao Xiaodong quickly passed the ball to Berbatov.

This was a long pass from 40 meters away, but Berbatov showed the fans his strong basic skills. He relied on the defender to easily unload the ball in front of him with the instep of his feet, and then knocked the ball with his heel. Gave it to Rooney.

There was a burst of applause in the stands, and the fans were conquered by Gao Xiaodong's precise long pass and Berbatov's beautiful stop and pass.

On-site commentator Martin sighed: "Berba's stops and passes are so beautiful! If he was half as active as Gao Xiaodong, the core would have been his long ago."

CCTV commentator He Hui laughed and said: "Fortunately, Xiaodong passed the ball to Brother Xiaosha. If it had been passed to Rooney, the ball would have stopped three meters away." However, He Hui also said good things about Rooney, "But Rooney has good health, even if he stops three meters away, he can squeeze past the defender and grab the ball."

After Rooney got the ball, he faced only center back Carragher.

Carragher is Liverpool's deputy and an iron-blooded centre-back. He is accurate in positioning, fierce in fighting and not easy to deal with.

But now Rooney has the advantage of having space. The little fat man moved forward, stopped suddenly and changed direction, trying to get rid of Carragher, but Carragher was not slow. He immediately moved laterally to keep up, blocking Rooney's path.

Rooney looked a little anxious as his pursuers were approaching. After changing direction again, he stepped out and forced a shot.

Carragher was not out of position. When Rooney shot, he raised his foot and blocked the ball to the side.

At this time, Nani on the wing was already catching up. He grabbed the ball and made a feint, then changed direction and headed towards the ribs of Liverpool's penalty area.

Konchesky was chasing after Nani, Skrtel also gave up Berbatov and went to make up the position. Nani did not pass the ball, went to the edge of the penalty area, and directly volleyed hard.

This kick was well off the ground and at a tricky angle. Goalkeeper Reina flew to save without touching the ball, but the ball hit the goal post and bounced out.

Rooney and Berbatov were complaining about Nani not passing the ball. When they saw the ball hitting the goal post, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

In Nani's position, passing is more reasonable, but there is nothing to say about shooting. After all, he is already facing the goal.

Nani's kick on the goalpost woke up Liverpool. They saw that after Gao Xiaodong retreated to protect, it was not effective to directly attack Manchester United's back line. They immediately changed their tactics and continued the opening wing attack.

Manchester United's central defender has hidden dangers, Gao Xiaodong cannot boldly intervene, and only one Scholes is left, which is not much of a threat. They can only attack Liverpool from two wings.

Liverpool is strong on the right and weak on the left. The gap between Manchester United's two wings is not big. There is no offensive attack in the middle of the two sides. They rely solely on wing attacks. For a while, no one can do anything to the opponent. In the end, neither side was able to score again in the first half. After halftime, we can decide the outcome in the second half.
