Chapter 133 The third bomb of the Double Red Club
Chapter 133 The Third Bullet of the Double Red Society
On April 5, 2003, in the 32nd round of the 2002-2003 Premier League season, Manchester United faced Liverpool at home. This is the focus of this round of games and the third match of the Double Red Club this season.
In the home team locker room at Old Trafford Stadium, Ferguson is mobilizing the team before the battle.
"I only have one requirement in this game." Ferguson raised a finger, "Win!"
"This is a very critical game on the road to championships. We not only have to win, but also strive to win beauty!" Ferguson said with an excited expression. "Win Liverpool, we will return to the top of the list again! Then wait for Arsenal to make a mistake! Perhaps Arsenal can win from Villa Park again, but as long as we defeat one opponent after another and keep putting pressure on Arsenal, they will always be unable to hold back!"
"This game is not easy to play," captain Roy Keane said with a smile. "Boss, Liverpool is also competing for a Champions League place, and we are competing for the league championship with Arsenal. Such a game is the most difficult to play."
"Who said that?" Ferguson glared at Keane, "Just Yin said, we all won 3:1 cleanly at Anfield. Now that I'm back at home, is it too much for me to ask for a beautiful victory?"
"Not too much!"
"Of course not too much!"
"Boss, just watch it!"
“Yes, yes!”
...
All the players were very excited. Although everyone already knew what Yin Jun said at the pre-match press conference, now I still feel different after hearing the head coach say it.
The starter went to the player corridor to gather, and the substitute players also happily went to the bench.
……………………
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!" John Mortson stood up and shouted, "The game started five minutes and the goal appeared! The home team got a fantastic start! The visiting team Liverpool suffered a heavy blow!"
Just one minute ago, Manchester United launched an offensive in the middle of the frontcourt. Giggs broke through and passed to Yin Jun. Yin Jun gave a scalpel-like pass, directly crossing Liverpool's defense line and found Fanny in front of the penalty area arc.
Seeing that Van Nie was about to break into the penalty area, Liverpool's central defender captain in desperation, Finnish Happia pulled up and tripped him down. The referee Riley awarded a penalty kick and sent Happia directly off the red card.
Immediately, Van Nicht scored a penalty kick, making Manchester United's first record. 1:0, Manchester United not only took the lead in the score, but also gained an advantage in numbers.
Although the visiting coach Hollier was very dissatisfied, he had to passively adjust his personnel and replaced forward Barroche with Biscan, allowing Croatian midfielder to play a cameo center back and keep the defense intact.
Although Biscan is a midfielder, he is 1.91 meters tall and has no problem playing a guest center back.
Seeing Liverpool's adjustment, Ferguson got up from the coach's seat, patted his butt, then walked to the sidelines, shouted the names of several players and called them to the sidelines.
"After the game starts again, Liverpool may focus on getting involved with us in the midfield." Ferguson said, "There is a hard response in the midfield! Tell them that this is our territory!"
Keane and Scholes nodded, they knew Ferguson was saying this to them.
"At the same time, we can try to hit them directly behind us!"
Yin Jun and others nodded, but Yin Jun asked: "Boss, what if they shrink their defense instead of fighting with us in the midfield?"
Ferguson said: "Then try to commit a foul!"
Yin Jun nodded and said, "I understand!"
Three players ran back into the field, and Queros said beside Ferguson: "Yin is a young man with ideas."
"It's really good. You dare to ask questions and have ideas." Ferguson nodded. Such a young man would not like without a coach.
Of course, Ferguson knew that Scholes and Keane would not ask this question because they were experienced and knew what to do in that situation. This is the role of stars like Keane and Scholes. Sometimes they don’t need to give special advice from the head coach, and they can also make quick judgments and adjustments based on their own experience.
……………………
After the game started again, as Ferguson judged, although he played one less player, Liverpool did not retract from the entire line, but instead advanced the defense line, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle in the midfield.
"Jazz, why are you so sure that they will compete in the midfield?" Queros asked.
"The game has just begun. If Hollier is not stupid, he will know that it is impossible to defend the defense line now, so their best choice is to compete in the midfield, advance the team's defense line, and form a chain protection for the penalty area! After all, the few Liverpool people are on the front line, not the midfield, and backcourt." Ferguson said to Queiros.
"if……"
Just as Ferguson was passing on his coaching experience to his assistant, cheers rang out in the stadium stands, and both Ferguson and Queros hurriedly looked up at the stadium.
This is Keane, with the help of his teammates, who joined forces to cut off the football. Then he quickly passed the football to Yin Jun who came to pick up the football. Yin Jun pulled the ball and turned around and looked at the frontcourt. Giggs, Solskjaer and Fanny were all sprinting. Where did he pass it?
A decision was made almost instantly and passed to the left!
Yin Jun swung his foot and passed the football to Giggs who was running wildly on the left.
Fast speed, delicate skills under your feet, able to pass and shoot, and the football is handed over to Giggs, Manchester United can have more choices in offense!
The most important thing is that Giggs ran faster than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who played the right forward today, and was already the attacking player closest to the opponent's goal.
If you have time to be an opportunity, you still have the speed to seize the opportunity, but don’t look for anyone you want to find!
……………………
Giggs was sprinting, the football fell in the air, Liverpool defender Carragher came out to defend, and the strong Carragher bumped into Giggs, preventing him from stopping the ball comfortably. Giggs, who was originally planning to stop the ball, immediately changed his mind when he saw this. He immediately jumped and pushed the football out!
Heading the ball!
Van Nie was in the middle, and he leaned against the goal and withstood Biscan, who had just made a substitute. The Dutch pointed his forehead forward and pointed the football to Solskjaer, but Solskjaer ran away directly.
Is this a pass mistake?
Then people saw Scholes running up and he pushed the football gently into the middle.
This push was very exquisite, and it stopped the football from the air well and built a fort for Yin Jun who was inserted behind it!
Yin Jun rushed up, Scholes's ball was very comfortable, which gave our protagonist a very stretched shot!
The football suddenly rushed up, and Fanny lowered his head smartly. The football flew past his head and flew directly to the goal, and finally passed the head of Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek, then hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the net!
The ball went in again!
2:0!
Chapter completed!
