Chapter 778: Making a Penalty Kick
In the 60th minute of the game, Liverpool head coach Hodgson immediately made substitution adjustments after Berbatov scored twice. Center back Agger came on and replaced Konchesky, who was ravaged by Nani for 60 minutes.
Hodgson couldn't bear the fact that there was no full-back available. He would rather use Ager as a full-back than Koncheski becoming a big colander on the left.
At the same time, forward Ngog was replaced, allowing him and Torres to attack Manchester United's backline, which had been weakened by three successes.
Ferguson was experienced and cunning. He asked his players to take risks and attack fiercely. After scoring two goals, he saw that Hodgson was risking his life and immediately made substitution adjustments. Young center back Smalling came on and received a yellow card as a substitute. Evans, let Smalling come on to press, and the experienced Vidic got stuck in the back.
The timing of Ferguson's substitution is very good. Although Smalling is a newcomer, young, a little frizzy, and does not get along well with Vidic, he is tall, has a wide defensive area, and is very fast. He and Vidic It is still possible for Vidic to partner with Liverpool players whose physical fitness has begun to decline.
The most important thing is that after Smalling comes on the court, he at least has the ability to commit fouls. Gao Xiaodong and Scholes no longer have to consider the safety of the back line and can continue to maintain pressure on Liverpool's penalty area.
In the 65th minute of the game, Liverpool forward Ngog, who had just come on the field, got a chance. Torres took advantage of the lack of tacit understanding between Smalling and Vidic, pulled away and ran back, bringing Vidic and Smalling together. Leles made a through pass, and Ngog broke into the penalty area with the ball. After being intercepted by Smalling and Gao Xiaodong one after another, he hurriedly shot the ball. The ball was weak and was confiscated by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
Ngog wanted to intercept Van der Sar and launch a counterattack, but Gao Xiaodong stretched out his foot as if unintentionally and staggered. Van der Sar was unstoppable and quickly passed the ball to Nani who was back on the wing to launch a quick counterattack. .
After receiving the ball, Nani ran like crazy towards Liverpool's half. Behind him, the right back O'Shea also ran forward to meet Nani.
Nani is very fast, and Gerrard in the center is too late to intercept from the side. He can only quickly return to the center to defend Manchester United's forward players.
Nani passed the midfield and met the newly replaced Agger not far away.
Faced with Agger, who was a guest full-back and had little speed, Nani was very disdainful. He made a fake move to go inside, preparing to overtake directly from the outside.
But Agger was born as a central defender. Although he was not fast, he judged the timing of his kick very well. Before Nani finished his fake move, he directly swept over with his kick and swept Nani to the ground.
Agger's kick was obviously intended to give Nani a blow. The kick was so fierce that it caused Nani to lie on the ground and roll in pain.
Seeing Agger's rough behavior, Manchester United's boss Scholes immediately rushed over and shouted at Agger: "Do you want to kick his leg off?"
Agger spread his hands and said, "It's just a foul."
As the leader of the Portuguese-speaking gang, Gao Xiaodong couldn't just ignore it. He ran to the scene of the accident, pointed at Ag's nose and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will kick your leg off?"
Age opened Gao Xiaodong's hand contemptuously and said, "Young boy, be careful about your legs."
Gao Xiaodong was furious, raised his foot and kicked Agger, scaring Agger so much that he quickly took two steps back.
Gao Xiaodong raised his legs but stopped moving. He smiled contemptuously and said, "My legs are right here. If you have the ability, you can shovel them."
Referee Webb also arrived at this time. He quickly separated the more and more players from both sides, showed Agger a yellow card, and awarded Manchester United a free kick from the wing.
Although Manchester United is now leading by two goals, in the battle between Manchester United and Liverpool, no Red Devils do not want to score more goals. Center backs Smalling and Vidic both came to Liverpool's penalty area to compete for headers, while Gao Xiaodong and Ai Fola dragged behind to prevent his opponent from counterattacking.
Scholes passed the ball into the penalty area, and Smalling still grabbed the spot under Carragher's defense, but he was unable to exert any force at all.
It was very uncomfortable and the ball flew directly into the stands.
Liverpool took a goal kick, and Reina kicked it towards Manchester United's half. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. In the end, Gao Xiaodong used his strong body to grab the ball. He divided the ball and gave it to Nani, allowing Nani to continue. Breaking through Ager who had just received a yellow card.
Nani received the ball and moved forward quickly, facing Agger again.
Nani thought that Agger had received a yellow card and did not dare to make any big moves. After changing directions continuously, he prepared to break through from the closed test, but Agger was very arrogant and made another tackle.
Nani had just been frightened by Agger's kick. When he saw Agger shoveling again, he got scared and jumped up early. The ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Agger.
O'Shea sent a throw-in to Nani. Nani was wary of Agger and did not dare to break through again. He passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong in the middle and quickly inserted himself behind Agger.
Gao Xiaodong was so moved when he saw that Nani was going to play a two-on-one with him that he almost burst into tears. This guy finally passed the ball. It seemed that he should be allowed to tackle him a few more times.
Gao Xiaodong did not delay the pass when he complained. He did not stop the ball, directly passed the ball behind Nani, and quickly inserted himself into Liverpool's penalty area.
Agger's speed was slow. Even if Nani made an arc, Agger could not catch up.
Nani reached the bottom line and saw that there were too many defensive players in the opponent's penalty area, while Manchester United only had Rooney and Berbatov. He gave up the cross and passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area to Gao Xiaodong, who was advancing at high speed.
Gao Xiaodong was followed by Meireles, and Gerrard was on defense on one side. Gao Xiaodong couldn't adjust, and he didn't want to adjust. He met the ball and shot.
However, there were too many people in the penalty area, so Gao Xiaodong kicked Paulson, and the ball bounced back almost straight.
Gao Xiaodong reacted very quickly. He bent down, drew in his abdomen, held his chest, turned around, stopped the ball in the opposite direction of Gerrard's running, and immediately ran over to get the ball.
Gerrard couldn't hold his foot back and bumped into Meirelles who was running from behind Gao Xiaodong.
Thunderous applause instantly erupted in the stands, and all the Red Devils fans applauded Gao Xiaodong's smart stop.
Gao Xiaodong caught up with the ball and wanted to shoot again, but Carragher had already blocked it, leaving Gao Xiaodong no room to shoot.
Gao Xiaodong saw that Carragher was too hasty, so he dunked the ball, passed Carragher, and then entered the penalty area again.
Carragher could not let Gao Xiaodong pass, so he could only reach out and grab Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong didn't want to fall. He could face the goalkeeper and shoot in the past, but Carragher was strong enough. Gao Xiaodong couldn't pass through despite his hard charge, and was dragged to the ground by Carragher.
Beep!
Referee Webb's whistle sounded. He pointed decisively at the penalty spot, ran over and took out the yellow card to warn Carragher.
Although Manchester United now has a two-goal lead, scoring a goal in the double red meeting is of great significance. Rooney, who has always wanted to break the scoring drought, ran for the ball. Berbatov, who wanted to perform a hat trick, also ran for the ball. Giggs, who had the first penalty right, also ran towards the ball.
Gao Xiaodong made this penalty kick, and he also wanted to score a hat trick. However, no one from Manchester United had scored a hat trick in the Double Red Club in 64 years. Gao Xiaodong never wanted to do this, so he got up and ran for the ball. 74
