Volume 7, Chapter 115: The Counterattack Begins
Michael Oliver's whistle blows and Gerrard faces De Gea.
Start, run, shoot!
Gerrard has a strong mentality, not to mention his technique. In order to ensure that he does not give the goalkeeper any chance, he chose to volley the top of the goal vigorously. This requires skills and more courage, but as long as the goalkeeper does not predict in advance , there is almost no chance to pounce.
Gerrard aimed at the upper right edge of the goal and kicked vigorously. Seeing such an operation, the whole stadium was preparing for cheers.
This is called Yigaoren's boldness, and this is Gerald! Anfield forever God of War Steven!
At the same time, the mentality of everyone at Manchester United has been half-cooled, and part of their hopes are pinned on De Gea. Of course, some people expect the ball to fly directly when Gerrard takes his foot.
Gerrard's choice was very tricky, almost disarming the goalkeeper. However, in the next second, the situation reversed!
De Gea stared at Gerrard's feet, followed the moment the ball was kicked, the whole person jumped up, and at the same time stretched out the palm of his right hand, directly hitting the ball out of the baseline.
"Wow! My God! David De Gea, the god-like De Gea, hahaha, it seems that penalties can stimulate him."
De Gea clenched his fists and roared, and soon he was surrounded by teammates who rushed up.
After these teammates dispersed, Zhou Tiancheng put his arms around De Gea directly. This scene made the commentators in the media seats almost laugh--Manchester United's thighs on both ends of the offense and defense are very (basic) (affectionate), and it seems that something big is going to happen!
"You really did a good job, man, I just knew they were out of it."
Hearing Zhou Tiancheng's praise, De Gea became humble instead: "Haha, I was lucky enough not to let them score 3:0, but Zhou, the next step will be up to you."
Zhou Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder lightly: "If you're not in his position, you don't want to do anything. If it's not your business, don't worry about it. Even if he scores 3:0, we still have a chance. Hehe, let alone they are not 2:0 now. 0? It's still early!"
Zhou Tiancheng is really confident. He doesn't know what happened in the Liverpool dressing room that night in Istanbul. He only knows that Liverpool's crosshairs were found in an instant. Remember the lob shot ten meters from the goal... Liverpool can do it, can't Manchester United? You can't say that you are worse than Gerrard, right?
Zhou Tiancheng can now calmly deny this point.
Coming to the frontcourt, Zhou Tiancheng first handed Di Maria and Rooney in front of him. The three had a small meeting. He glanced at Giggs. There was no sign of giving instructions. The eyes of the two collided, and when he saw Giggs smiled at himself, he felt more relieved, so let's do it in our own way!
"Speed, speed, mobilize your enthusiasm and passion first, and we will be finished if you keep fighting like this. Little angel, um, you know what to do, right? Fatty, you are right in front of the door, don't give me anything Running around."
Di Maria and Rooney nodded at the same time.
Zhou Tiancheng didn't hesitate at all, and looked at the two of them: "Okay, that's it, David has already done it, and it's our turn. The counterattack starts now! Who is in favor? Who is against?"
Zhou Tiancheng adopted a very ingenious method, first stabilizing the most important players in the frontcourt. In such a situation, it is unrealistic to let everyone get rid of the interference of the KOP stands, and Manchester United's counterattack can actually be very simple .
While broadcasting the TV signal to Zhou Tiancheng, while replaying De Gea's brave performance just now, Yang Cheng smiled and chatted with Carragher: "Jamie, it seems that the script is different from what you thought, Steven Will Gerrard underestimate De Gea like you, there is no 3:0 now."
Carragher laughed: "So Rodgers will not be satisfied, and Liverpool's offense will continue. It seems that Giggs is still too tender."
"Hehe, that's not what I'm talking about. Do you think such a save will stimulate Zhou Tiancheng?" Yang Cheng also responded lightly,
The verbal confrontation between these two people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a double-red meeting in the media audience, and they also did not back down, and the words were tense.
Giggs had been standing on the sidelines. He wanted to say something just now, but Zhou Tiancheng had already made a move, so he was not in a hurry. Shrugged and prepared to walk back to the coach's bench.
As soon as he turned around, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed, and the loud cheers and cheers turned into boos. Giggs stopped and turned around quickly, with surprise in his eyes.
When he turned around, Liverpool right-back Manquillo had been knocked to the ground by a feint, and Di Maria managed to trick him into cutting into the penalty area.
In the commentary seat of Sky Sports, Yang Chengyi slapped the table and shouted excitedly: "Angel Di Maria! His speed is so fast, how does it compare to Raheem Sterling? Not at all. It’s a downfall! But it depends on Zhou Tiancheng, the direct pass he just made between Henderson and Coutinho is like a scalpel, this is the finishing touch! Hahahaha!”
Yang Cheng improvised a series of improvisations, and the final roar made Carragher even shake his head, which was obviously crazier than me.
Yang Cheng actually had a reason for shouting that. Di Maria's low pass had already bypassed the goalkeeper Mignolet in the middle. In the melee, Xiaopang took the lead in throwing his center of gravity out, and directly shoveled the ball into the goal from close range with a sliding shovel.
"Rooney! Lu Xiaopang! Hahahaha, all in one go, Gerrard could have killed the game two minutes ago, but now, can Liverpool dare to say that they are sure to win? It's still early, although Giggs will be tested, but... Rodgers' ability to adapt on the spot is really not strong."
Yang Cheng interpreted it with great interest.
Zhou Tiancheng ran over directly and hugged Rooney. Even though he was in ecstasy, Rooney still felt quite embarrassed. Although his face is indeed relatively tender, but in terms of seniority, he is older than Zhou Tiancheng, now... what is it?
"Zhou, I can understand that you are excited, but, let me down."
"No way!" Zhou Tiancheng patted Rooney's fat face excitedly: "Little Fatty, well done, keep going, keep going!"
But at this time Giggs finally planned to make a substitution, and put on Falcao.
His on-the-spot change rhythm is completely different from what the commentators think. It may be normal to replace Falcao at the beginning of the second half.
But Giggs did not do so, he has absolute confidence in these players.
Goal, with Zhou Tiancheng, Giggs has never been worried, now is the time to prepare for the counterattack.
