Chapter 418 Don’t talk about martial ethics

When the game restarted in the 41st minute, Liverpool quickly made substitution adjustments. Midfielder Hamann replaced Gerrard, who had a thigh strain.

Gerrard's dismissal due to injury was definitely aggravating the situation for Liverpool, who were completely passive on the field. After the game restarted, the Liverpool players were obviously out of shape. The Manchester United players took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, hoping to win the game at halftime

One more victory before the end to completely seal the victory.

In the 42nd minute, Giggs' cross from the left was pushed out. Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball from the right and cut into the penalty area. He knocked his heel past Riise and passed with his left foot. O'Shea's header 7 meters in front of the goal was too straight.

Falling directly into Dudek's arms.

In the 44th minute, Josemi received a yellow card for handball. Yin Jun took a free kick 30 meters away from the goal on the left side. Because his supporting foot slipped, his right foot curved the ball and missed the right goal post.

Seeing their team's overwhelming offensive on the field, many Manchester United fans felt that the scene in April last year might be repeated today.

However, until referee Boll blew the whistle to end the first half, Manchester United failed to score the third goal and entered the halftime break with a score of 2:0.

In the first half, the ratio of the two sides' ball possession ratio was 64% to 36%, the ratio of the number of shots was 11 to 3, the ratio of the number of shots on target was 7 to 2, and the ratio of the number of goals was 2 to 0. It can be seen that the ratio of the number of goals in the first half was 64% to 36%.

How obvious Manchester United's advantage was at half-time.

………………

After the start of the second half, Liverpool, which was two goals behind, stepped up their attack. Naturally, they did not want to lose at Old Trafford for the third consecutive year.

The last time Liverpool won at Old Trafford was on January 22, 2002. At that time, the Red Army defeated Manchester United 1:0 at the Theater of Dreams in the 33rd round of the Premier League ahead of schedule.

However, in the following two seasons, Liverpool lost in away games. Especially in the 32nd round of the Premier League on April 5, 2003, Liverpool was slaughtered by Manchester United 7:0 at the Theater of Dreams, creating confusion between both teams.

The worst score difference recorded in history.

In that game, Yin Jun scored a hat trick and sent an assist. He was the director of this tragedy.

The Manchester United people are also strengthening their offense. They will never allow their mortal enemy to make a comeback on their own territory. The two sides launched a fierce confrontation on the field, especially in the midfield. The two teams often killed people on their backs. The team doctors of the two teams were in just ten minutes.

He entered the city three times in a minute, two of which were injuries to Liverpool players Luis Garcia and Riise, and the other time was when Yin Jun was retaliated by Riise's tricks, causing a bit of a collision.

In the short period of time when Yin Jun was knocked out of breath, the team doctor entered the field for treatment, and then went to the sidelines to wait to return to the stadium to restart the game, the Liverpool people regained a victory.

In the 55th minute, Alonso passed a diagonal pass from the left to the back. Finnan headed the ball from a small angle. The ball hit goalkeeper Howard, hit O'Shea's right thigh and rolled into the near corner. Ferdinand fell to the ground and swept the ball away with his left foot.

, but the ball had already crossed the goal line, and Liverpool tied the score to 1:2.

Although this goal attracted boos from the Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United fans thought that Liverpool people were too careless to score a goal when Manchester United had few people. However, Liverpool did not care so much, no matter how the goal was scored.

, as long as the referee determines it is valid, it is a goal!

………………

Sometimes, a wonderful goal, a beautiful tackle, and a solid defense can ignite the morale and passion of the players on the court. Especially for a passionate team like Liverpool, it is even more important.

That's true.

Finnan's goal greatly boosted Liverpool's morale and passion. After everyone celebrated wildly, they began to play more proactively and actually launched a counterattack against Manchester United.

First, Xabi Alonso forced a breakthrough in the middle, caught a chance, and suddenly shot angrily from the outside of the penalty area. This shot was so fast, urgent, and sudden that the entire Old Trafford stadium was stunned.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Howard reacted quickly and saved the ball quickly, thus resolving the crisis.

But soon, Liverpool took a corner kick, and Carragher's header was slightly higher than ten meters in front of the goal.

Two consecutive attacks created threats, and Liverpool continued to launch offensives, suppressing Manchester United on the scene.

………………

In the 66th minute of the game, Manchester United dismantled a Liverpool offensive. Howard directly hugged Cisse's non-threatening shot, quickly rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and threw it to Scholes.

The ginger head understood immediately. He didn't even need to raise his head to look ahead. He just passed the ball forward with his big foot and sent the ball behind the Liverpool defense and into the space on the left side of Manchester United.

During this period, Liverpool's offensive was very fierce. Manchester United players returned to their own half to help defend. Ruud van Nistelrooy, Giggs and Ronaldo were all in deeper positions, but Yin Jun became the most advanced player in Manchester United.

That player.

Because it was in his own half, Yin Jun didn't have to worry about offside when he finished, so when he saw Howard throwing the ball, he turned around and accelerated forward.

When he was about to reach the midline, Scholes' pass also came out and went straight to Yin Jun's left front in an arc.

There, Liverpool's right back Finnan was already running back, trying to control the ball before Yin Jun.

Although Yin Jun was very fast, his position was much further back than Fennan. The two of them ran to the left and right towards the landing point of the football.

Finnan was not nervous about this ball because he was confident of controlling the ball first.

Of course, what reassures him is that he is not fighting alone. He also has his teammates Josemi and Hamann on the defensive line. Three of them defend one, which is more than enough.

But Finnan was wrong. He misjudged the speed gap between himself and Yin Jun. Although Yin Jun was slightly behind him, his speed advantage was very obvious. Moreover, he was on the inside and could more easily seize the long shot from the side and behind.

Pass the ball.

The two competed for speed, but Yin Jun came from behind and grabbed the landing spot. Then he turned sideways, blocked Finnan with his body, and pushed the ball in front of him with his head.

Yin Jun had an excellent feel for the ball, and the football seemed to obey his instructions. After hitting his head, it changed its flight path and fell forward, while Yin Jun suddenly accelerated to catch up.

Finnan made an obvious move behind him to pull the jersey, but he didn't dare to be too showy and let go as soon as he pulled it. Because he was worried that he was already the last man in Liverpool's defense. At this time, he committed a foul and the referee gave a direct red card. Then

Liverpool are doomed.

Finnan has no doubt that the referee will give a red card because their opponent is Manchester United and the venue is Old Trafford!
