Chapter 33 - 1st Yellow Card

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"In the 58th minute of the second half, China Dong completed the goal and the score became 2:0. Manchester United led Liverpool 2:0 at home."

"China Dong has completed a goal and an assist. He and Cristiano complement each other. Both pass and shoot. They are the twin stars of Manchester United."

Gemini was originally used to describe Ronaldo and Rooney, but Dong Fangzhuo took the title first. He changed history by him. Until now Rooney has not played for Manchester United.

"Two goals can almost declare Liverpool to be sentenced to death. I can't find any reason. They can also reverse the score at Old Trafford. This is simply impossible."

This time it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to jump on Ronaldo's body to celebrate. All Manchester United teammates rushed over, except goalkeeper Howard.

Everyone knows what the score of 2:0 means.

The same is true for Ferguson, who used the third substitution.

O'Shea, who played as a starter in the last round, replaced Sylvester this time. The main reason is that Sylvester has just come back and is not physically strong enough to support the audience.

Obviously, Ferguson once again stepped up his defense. Ferguson may feel unsafe if he leads by one goal, but with two goals in hand, he does not need any hesitation.

Liverpool coach Benitez has a gloomy face. At this time, he has no other choice at all. He can only attack, and he can only replace the striker and play three strikers.

Kewell was replaced by Smicer, and Luis Garcia was replaced by French striker Cisse.

The formation became 433.

Liverpool can only fight to the death, desperate.

Ferguson seemed to have known that Benitez would do this for a long time, and arranged the lineup first and waited for Liverpool.

Fletcher was very fierce, although he played on the right, he almost covered the entire midfield.

This may be why Ferguson likes him so much.

Liverpool's midfielder doesn't have much advantage. The addition of a striker certainly increases the offensive power of the frontcourt, but the midfielder seems a bit weak.

This means that they gave up the long-range shooting style in the midfield and changed to a striker-based style.

However, Benitez changed, Ferguson also changed.

Now that Liverpool have fewer midfielders, Manchester United should cut their passing lanes.

That responsibility fell on the shoulders of Fletcher and Keane, especially Fletcher.

Fletcher became famous when he was 16 years old, and now he has played in the Premier League for four years at the age of 20. What a mature player he is, he has a lot of experience.

Whether facing Alonso, Gerrard, or Riise, he was brave and tough enough.

Choosing to let him come up again in the second half is to allow him to have enough physical fitness to sweep the midfield.

The confrontation in the Premier League is already very fierce, and Fletcher, who has a physical advantage, is even more difficult when facing them.

Benitez only placed substitutions on the striker, but could not take into account the midfielder, and then the bad scene came out again.

Under the frantic sweep of Keane and Fletcher, Liverpool's midfield was somewhat defeated.

Of course, because of the viciousness of the two of them, the game became more and more intense. Considering that Keane has already received a yellow card, Fletcher's responsibility is even greater.

In just three minutes, Fletcher overturned Alonso and Gerrard consecutively, winning cheers from the Old Trafford fans.

Every player on the field today showed high fighting spirit and combat effectiveness.

The turf of the Dream Theater is almost being scraped!

Liverpool's combat strength is insufficient, and Gerrard, as the captain of Liverpool, has great responsibilities. Compared to Keane, he doesn't seem to be doing enough. Keane can lead by example, but Gerrard is a bit soft.

Even Fletcher can bully him, which shows that his condition is not that good.

In other words, Liverpool is not as prepared as Manchester United.

So far in the game, Manchester United has always shown their sharpness, while Liverpool is not hard enough. Although their style of play is still brave, they are not resolute enough.

The new team formed by Benitez still needs to continue to run in and is not mature enough. After all, this was only the first few months when Benitez accepted the team.

Manchester United Chen is resolutely defending from top to bottom.

Solskjaer is a pure shooter with a limited range of activities, so Dong Fangzhuo can only participate in more defenses. He and Scholes are the first level of defense.

Although Fletcher and Keane fought fiercely, they kept the rhythm of the Manchester United team.

Now,

Manchester United does not fight for offense, only for midfield and defense.

Liverpool finally got the ball and wanted to attack, but they were always stopped by Manchester United players.

In the 77th minute, Keane finally paid the price for his unscrupulousness.

When Harvey Alonso wanted to send the ball to Manchester United's penalty area, Keane tackled the ball head-on, but instead of shoveling the ball, he shoveled it on Alonso's feet.

The referee finally couldn't bear it anymore and expelled Keane with a red card.

Keane's great mission as Manchester United captain ended early.

But his end still enjoyed the applause of the Manchester United fans. In the eyes of the fans, their captain has tried his best and sacrificed gloriously...

Then, Manchester United lost one man on the field.

This seems to give Liverpool a chance to counterattack, ten to eleven, there must be a lot of opportunities.

So Benitez got excited again, simply moved Carragher forward, let Carragher kick the midfielder, and continued to liberate Gerrard and Alonso.

When Carragher made his debut, he had already kicked the midfielder. This is simply a familiarity, and there is no problem.

The seasoned Ferguson will naturally not let Benitez's treachery succeed.

He also made adjustments immediately, but the number of substitutions has been exhausted, and he can only make adjustments with existing players.

That is, Dong Fangzhuo completely retreated and continued to entangle with Carragher.

Before, it was to find a way to stay away from Carragher, but now it is to find a way to stay close to Carragher.

you again!

Carragher wanted to rush forward, but Dong Fangzhuo followed closely, not leaving an inch.

Both of them started the game. So far, they don't have much physical strength left, but they both have to run.

As a new midfielder, Carragher must cover a larger area.

Dong Fangzhuo not only needs to take care of Carragher when defending, but also needs to move to create more space when attacking.

In the end, Carragher could only continue to entangle with Dong Fangzhuo.

The two had direct collisions in Liverpool's backcourt several times in a row.

Time flies, the Manchester United fans in the stands have begun to celebrate, but the offensive and defensive transitions are still crazy on the court.

In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left got a chance to counterattack and quickly dribbled the ball to the bottom line. Dong Fangzhuo naturally rushed forward without thinking about his own safety.

But what I didn't expect was that Finnan accidentally snatched the ball from Ronaldo. The reason is that Ronaldo didn't plan to play a wave of offense at the end, but just wanted to take the ball to the left to waste time. Finnan naturally had a chance.

Dong Fangzhuo had thrown Carragher away at first, but in the end he found that Finnan actually passed the ball to Carragher's feet.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't think much at the time, and after turning around, he frantically chased back.

When he saw that Carragher was about to make a long pass, he didn't think much about it at all, and directly shoveled Carragher from behind.

yellow card!

He got a yellow card!

First yellow card in a Premier League game!

After Carragher got up, he glared at him!
