Volume 7 Chapter 70 Old Trafford Is only a Rout

"Old Trafford...is indeed Manchester United's home ground, but anything is possible. If Van Gaal starts to become arrogant at this time, then Liverpool is definitely not without a chance. Young, do you think Van Gaal will play with you? Are you as confident?"

Yang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "If Van Gaal thinks the same as me, then the reason must be the same. Self-confidence usually comes from confidence."

"Is it because of Zhou?" Carragher asked with a smile.

"Of course that's the main reason, but more importantly, as I said, this is Old Trafford."

Carragher couldn't help laughing: "Yang, has Manchester United's strength given you such confidence?"

Yang Cheng also laughed: "Your performance just now made me more confident."

The conversation between the two made the England fans watching their commentary suffocate for a while. They arranged a pair of supporters from the two teams to be partners on the commentary platform, which was a vivid sense of cross talk, that is, there is no such thing in England. Weibo is hotly searched, England fans don't know what cross talk is, otherwise this commentary will be popular.

However, Yang Cheng's self-confidence was not without reason. Liverpool was sent off. The same scene had an unusual impact on them.

Henderson has both offense and defense, and is the most important hub on the defensive end. He was sent off, leaving little room for Rogers to adjust.

It was a situation of two goals behind again, Rogers considered again and again, and made a decision that was absolutely unexpected to those who knew him.

Remove Coutinho and replace Balotelli.

This fierce operation made Carragher a little dumbfounded: "Brendan Rogers still intends to risk his life at this time? My God, Coutinho was replaced at this time. Balotelli, let Steven Gerrard alone in the midfield! Anyone who says Rodgers hesitates to command on the spot is simply a big mistake!"

Carragher was dumbfounded, even he couldn't believe it.

Although he knows Gerrard very well and has always been the soul of Liverpool on the pitch, since he was still playing football, this is not the Gerrard of ten years ago. At this age, let him play as a single midfielder... Although it is true that he was sent off on the spot, Carragher can already imagine what will happen to Liverpool's formation and positioning.

All Rodgers thinks about now is offense, how to get the game back as soon as possible. Therefore, Sturridge and Balotelli partnered. These are the two most powerful strikers in Liverpool's striker. The role of Gerrard staying on the field is the offensive engine.

However, as the game progressed, Liverpool's formation on the field gradually began to lose touch. The problem of Gerrard's serious lack of defense in the midfield alone has been highlighted. If Liverpool want to ensure the strength of the defense, the only way is not to retreat, but to press upwards from the back line.

It's a pity that they are facing Zhou Tiancheng. After trying a few rounds, they will understand that this method is not feasible. The intensive midfield press did not work, and instead they were seized the opportunity to sneak behind.

Liverpool's formation is getting deeper and deeper as the game time goes on. Although Gerrard has the ability to pass long passes, he can only stay close to the back line in the face of Manchester United's counterattack, otherwise he will rely on him alone. Zhou Tiancheng will be with him. It won't be too much trouble for one... It's still polite to say so.

Liverpool's formation began to lose touch. Whether it was Smalling or Evans, it was no problem to hold the ball head-on. Sturridge and Balotelli couldn't unload the ball at all. Zhou Tiancheng turned around and pressed very efficiently. The ball can be intercepted directly at the first time.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester United's counterattack moved forward quickly, directly testing Liverpool's defense.

Even Sterling joined the defense. Flanagan was indeed alert enough, but he really couldn't catch up with Di Maria.

Van Gaal replaced Ashley Young, but it was not unreasonable to keep Di Maria on the court.

Zhou Tiancheng now cooperates with Di Maria and Rooney very well, penetrating Liverpool's defense in one go. Kolo Toure, trailing behind, was not alert enough,

Di Maria succeeded in anti-offside.

"Kolo Toure shouldn't have made such a mistake, is he already thinking about how to apologize for conceding the goal in this game?"

Di Maria directly broke through the penalty area and made a low pass. Van Persie tapped his heel lightly, and the ball rolled directly into the goal from under Mignolet's legs.

Van Gaal clenched his fists and let out a long breath, Giggs also came up to give him a high five.

With the three-goal lead in hand, this is considered stable.

Due to the previous two consecutive substitutions, Van Gaal now has only the last substitution spot left, and he gave the Belgian teenager Januzaj the last substitution spot.

Training newcomers, but this is a bit heartbreaking for Liverpool fans. The game has not yet entered injury time, and some fans in the visiting team stands have stood up and left the field. The double red will become a trial ground for young players. Stay and endure the overwhelming cheers from your opponent.

It cannot be said that they are not diehard fans. The fans who can travel to the away game are definitely hardcore Liverpool fans, but they also have the limit of tolerance. Listening to the Manchester United team song in the audience is like stabbing their hearts with a knife. It is impossible for anyone to bear it.

Manchester United's intensity has not diminished, and it is impossible to see that this is a three-goal lead. Every ball must be fought and every ball must be grabbed. Herrera still gave Gerrard such a kick. When it was time to kick, I never thought of stopping.

The second wave of gang fights almost broke out on the field. Michael Oliver drew a total of four yellow cards to stabilize the situation, and Zhou Tiancheng also received one-he went to La Herrera, and Sterling came up to find fault, Zhou Tiancheng Directly use the height advantage to point at his nose condescendingly and warn him.

Such a scene is a referee like Michael Oliver, who can hold it down with an iron fist.

But this is the double red game. There is no such thing as "saving face". If a goal is lost, both sides will feel that it is very imperfect.

And like Liverpool conceded three goals and got zero seals in the game, one can imagine what they will encounter when they go back.

Even Carragher couldn't stand it.

When the final whistle blew, Carragher's post-match comments were even shorter than usual, and he just wanted to finish quickly.

When he left the commentary booth, he and Yang Cheng looked at each other, looking at each other with a happy expression, he said slowly: "Yang, congratulations, you won again."

Yang Cheng smiled at him: "Jamie, in fact, you didn't lose. I just said the obvious truth, but you can't get rid of your complex about Liverpool."

Carragher thought for a while: "Maybe it is. Istanbul... I really miss it, but it's a pity that such a miracle really only happens once."

"Unless Istanbul is hosting a Champions League final... there is no second Istanbul, this is Old Trafford, there are only defeats at Old Trafford, this is only for the Red Devils."

Yang Cheng said to Carragher with a smile, but it didn't sound like consolation.
