Chapter 314: I don’t understand (first update guaranteed)
When the first half ended, Manchester United players and fans felt relieved. -< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.
Then there was joy, and finally there was confidence.
Because they defended Liverpool's indiscriminate bombardment in the first half.
Facing a nearly thirty-minute siege, they did not concede a goal.
This kind of defensive toughness is outstanding.
This performance gave them the confidence to hold on until the end of the game.
Now as long as they hold on for one more minute, it's victory. Because as time goes by, Liverpool's physical strength is disappearing rapidly.
After seventy-five minutes of the second half, the physical fitness of the Liverpool players reached its limit. At that time, as long as Manchester United exerted a little pressure, Liverpool could completely collapse!
At that time, whether scoring or not scoring, Manchester United was already in an invincible position.
On the contrary, Liverpool's players walked off the field with sullen faces and lowered heads.
Everyone looked unhappy.
They fell behind by one goal in the first half and were unable to come back until the end of the first half. Secondly, they are missing one person, which will have a profound impact on the team's game in the second half.

Back in the locker room, Manchester United's players seemed very excited. They hugged Rooney and applauded Rooney's performance in the first half.
Some people also asked Rooney if the penalty kick was intentional, because everyone felt that with Rooney's speed, it would be impossible for Skrtel to catch him easily.
So Rooney told everyone his plan in the admiring eyes of everyone.
He got more praise and adulation.
Being able to think of this battle plan in such a short moment is indeed amazing.
Many people's brains probably couldn't react at that time.
Now because of Rooney, Liverpool are one goal behind and one man short.
As long as Manchester United continues to hold on in the second half, victory will belong to Manchester United.
This is not what makes them happy the most.
What makes them most happy is Ferguson's return.
When the coach returned to the locker room, he was warmly welcomed by the players.
Everyone applauded and cheered for Ferguson.
Ferguson's face was glowing, but he still didn't have the decadence of a retired old man?
Everyone was deceived by him, and he himself was satisfied with the result.
He waved and the cheers in the locker room died down.
"Guys, this is not the time to cheer." Although he was happy, Ferguson was still very calm. "There are still forty-five minutes, and anything can happen in these forty-five minutes. So cheer until the game is over!"
The boss must be right. After he said it, no one was cheering. Everyone just looked at him, hoping he could say more.
"I first want to apologize to you. Yes, I deceived you. But everyone saw that I also deceived them." Ferguson pointed to the door. "It worked pretty well. They didn't realize what mistake they had made until they conceded the goal."
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
The Manchester United players thought it was funny and very satisfying that Liverpool was deceived. At this time, they had forgotten that they were also deceived by Ferguson.
"But our opponents are not scarecrows. They will definitely make adjustments in the second half. They will strengthen their offense and have more offensive methods. It is not enough to defend Chen Yingxiong alone..."
Ferguson began to tell everyone about the issues that should be paid attention to in the second half. Basically, the core meaning is one, that is, Liverpool's counterattack in the second half will be very frantic, with various methods, especially on the two wings. In order to allow Liverpool to score, Manchester United's defense in the second half must pay more attention to other Liverpool players.
After all, no one dares to underestimate those Liverpool players. Taken alone, they can play the main role in a team like Manchester United.

Meanwhile, in the Liverpool dressing room. Liverpool's head coach Martin O'Neill was also telling everyone what to do in the second half.
He did not criticize Chen Yingxiong's recklessness in the first half. On the contrary, he asked the team to cooperate with Chen Yingxiong. (-< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.)
At least do this within the first twenty minutes of the second half.
Because he discovered the benefit of Chen Yingxiong's doing this, which is that it can help the team save a lot of energy as a whole.
Because the offense has become Chen Yingxiong's business alone, others only need to pass the ball to him, without even running, and just watch from behind after passing the ball.
In this way, it naturally doesn't consume much physical energy.
For Liverpool, who still have to attack frantically with one less player, it is very important to be able to save energy. This way, you won't collapse due to lack of physical strength in the last fifteen minutes of the game.
In fact, Chen Yingxiong's approach is not the right way and is strictly prohibited in many teams. But Martin O'Neal had the courage and courage to affirm Chen Yingxiong's approach and openly asked the whole team to cooperate.
The most surprising thing is that no one in the entire Liverpool team expressed dissent.
If outsiders saw this scene, I don't know how to evaluate Liverpool.
Chen Yingxiong's current status in Liverpool is evident. Many people are certain that after Gerrard retires, Chen Yingxiong will definitely be the new flag of Liverpool. If he can stay in Liverpool, his ultimate achievements and status will surpass Gerrard and stand alongside legends like Dalglish.

As the teams battled wits in the locker room, guests and commentators discussed the first half.
First of all, they all admitted that they were deceived by Ferguson's performance. This old man is still the one who refuses to admit defeat and will do whatever it takes to win.
Then they also believed that Ferguson's approach worked.
Everyone has seen the situation in the first half. Liverpool is indeed at a disadvantage now.
"The situation is indeed very unfavorable for Liverpool... They are behind and one person is missing. This is a heavy blow to their morale..."
"The biggest problem is that Liverpool was deceived by Manchester United. No one in them saw through Ferguson's conspiracy... I think this fact will have a very bad impact on Liverpool. If they can't learn from this emotion If we extricate ourselves, I'm afraid it will bring disastrous consequences to the team."
"Chen Yingxiong's outburst at the last moment of the first half did not bring a goal to Liverpool. It shows that relying on Chen Yingxiong alone is not enough. No matter how good Chen Yingxiong is, he still needs the cooperation of his teammates. I think Martin O'Neill should be there During the halftime break, he criticized Chen Yingxiong’s approach and rearranged tactics to get the team back to its normal offensive routine..."
These experts are advising Liverpool and demonstrating their depth of knowledge.
But no one expected that after the second half of the game started, it would be like this...
※※※
"Liverpool has no change compared to the first half! Chen Yingxiong still dominates the team's offense. As long as Liverpool has the ball, the ball will eventually pass to Chen Yingxiong's feet. And Chen Yingxiong doesn't care where he is, he is always there. Foot shot!”
"How can Liverpool win this game if this continues?"
"Perhaps Liverpool has given up on this game? Anyway, with their lead, even if they lose to Manchester United, it is not a big deal. In the end, it will not affect the team's prospects of winning... Instead of competing with Manchester United in this game If we are going to fight to the death, why not save some energy to win the next games..."
Martin O'Neill doesn't see it that way.
Liverpool must win this game, not for an unbeaten season or to secure the league title.
Even if Liverpool won the league title before this game, this game cannot be lost.
The game between Liverpool and Manchester United has always been about more than just three points or zero points.
Manchester United will not be willing to lose to Liverpool, and Liverpool will not want to lose to Manchester United at home.
This is about the dignity of both teams.
Liverpool is a team that wants to dominate Europe, how can it be defeated by Manchester United at home?
So no matter what the cost, this game must be won!
Although Martin O'Neill didn't have any Liverpool blood before he coached Liverpool, this did not prevent him from demanding himself as a "kop" after becoming Liverpool's coach.
Many people will think that he wasted an offensive opportunity by letting Chen Yingxiong shoot.
Even if some people can see that this will help Liverpool conserve their energy, they think this is Martin O'Neill's true purpose.
In fact, they are all wrong.
Martin O'Neill is not just to let other Liverpool players rest, the most important reason is that he believes in Chen Yingxiong. He believes that Chen Yingxiong can always score with so many shots.
This kind of belief reaches such an extent that it is actually superstitious.
But Martin O'Neill didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Others are unwilling to believe in their players, or are not superstitious about their players, because no player can make them superstitious to this point. But Chen Yingxiong can.
He stood on the sidelines with his hands folded across his chest, quietly looking at Chen Yingxiong who was constantly raising his hands for the ball and then shooting.
※※※
Ferguson was surprised by Liverpool's second-half performance.
He really didn't expect that Martin O'Neill not only did not stop Chen Yingxiong from being so free, but actually encouraged Chen Yingxiong to do so...
Is he crazy? This approach will only destroy the integrity of Liverpool's offense and make every offense of Liverpool fall into a one-man operation.
What's so good about this approach?
No matter how powerful Chen Yingxiong is, can he alone deal with our entire defense? Even if he can deal with our entire defense, can he still be an enemy of the entire Manchester United team?
Ferguson frowned. His experience and his understanding of O'Neal told him that O'Neal was a very cautious person and he rarely made such bold and risky moves.
Now he has done something so abnormal.
There must be something wrong...
But what could be wrong?
Ferguson was puzzled.
Could it be that Martin O'Neill himself is confused?
At present, this may be the biggest one.
Even if Ferguson believed in his players, he would never believe it to this extent. Manchester United has always emphasized the whole.
Therefore, he could not understand Martin O'Neill's superstition towards Chen Yingxiong. He was more willing to believe that Martin O'Neill was forced into chaos by the situation of the game.
Are you getting into trouble?
That's good.
