host must win

Chapter 418
Before the game re-kicked off in the 41st minute, Liverpool quickly made substitution adjustments. The midfielder Hamann replaced Gerrard with a thigh strain.

Gerrard's end due to injury is definitely worse for Liverpool, who is completely passive on the scene.Liverpool's players were visibly out of shape after the restart.The Manchester United people took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, hoping to make another victory before the end of the half-time game and completely seal the victory.

In the 42nd minute, Giggs made a pass from the left and was pushed out. Ronaldo took the ball from the right and cut into the penalty area. He knocked his heel past Riise and made a pass with his left foot. O'Shea's header from 7 meters in front of the goal was too straight. It fell directly into Dudek's arms.

In the 44th minute, Josemi received a yellow card for a handball. Yin Jun took a free kick 30 meters from the left side of the goal, because the support foot slipped and the right foot curved the ball wide of the right post.

Seeing their team's tide-like offensive on the field, many Manchester United fans feel that the scene in April last year may be repeated today.

However, until the referee Ball blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Manchester United failed to score the third goal after all, and only entered the intermission with a score of 2:0.

In the first half, the ratio of the possession rate of the two sides 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. How obvious was Manchester United's advantage at halftime.

………………

After the start of the second half, Liverpool, who were two goals behind, stepped up their offensive. They naturally did not want to lose at Old Trafford for the third consecutive year.

利物浦上一次在老特拉福德球场赢球还是在2002年的1月22日，当时红军在提前进行的英超第33轮比赛中，在梦剧场1:0小胜曼联。

但是在随后的两个赛季里，利物浦在客场都输了球。尤其是2003年4月5日的英超第32轮的比赛，利物浦更是在梦剧场被曼联7:0屠杀，制造了双方队史交手记录的最悬殊比分。

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

The Manchester United people are also strengthening their offense, and they will never allow their rivals to comeback in their own territory.The two sides launched a fierce confrontation on the field, especially in the midfield, and the two teams often killed people on their backs.The team doctors of the two teams entered the city three times in just 10 minutes, two of which were Liverpool players Luis Garcia and Riise who were injured, and the other time when Yin Jun was hit by Riise's insidious revenge.

In the short time when Yin Jun was knocked out, the team doctor came to the field for treatment, and then went to the sidelines to wait to return to the field for a rematch, the Liverpool people pulled back a victory.

In the 55th minute, Alonso made a diagonal pass from the left, and Finnan headed the goal from a small angle. The ball hit the goalkeeper Howard, and then hit O'Shea's right thigh and rolled into the near corner. Ferdinand fell to the ground and swept the ball out with his left foot. , but the ball had crossed the goal line and Liverpool tied the score at 1:2.

Although this goal drew boos from the Old Trafford stadium, Manchester United fans thought that the Liverpool people were too careless to score when Manchester United had few people.But Liverpool doesn't care so much, no matter how the goal is scored, as long as the referee believes 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 field.This is especially true for a passionate team like Liverpool.

Finnan's goal greatly boosted Liverpool's morale and passion. After a wild celebration, everyone started to play more proactively, and even launched a wave of counterattacks against Manchester United.

First, Harvey Alonso made a forced breakthrough in the middle, saw an opportunity, and suddenly shot directly from the outside of the penalty area.The shot was so fast, fast and sudden that the whole Old Trafford stadium broke out in a cold sweat.Fortunately, Howard reacted quickly and quickly saved the ball, which barely resolved a crisis.

But soon, Liverpool took a corner kick, and Carragher headed the goal ten meters in front of the goal, slightly higher.

Two consecutive attacks created a threat, Liverpool continued to attack and suppressed Manchester United on the scene.

………………

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

Ginger head immediately understood, he didn't even need to look up, he just passed forward with a big foot, and sent the ball behind Liverpool's defense, into the space on Manchester United's left.

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 at the back, but Yin Jun became Manchester United's highest position. that one player.

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

When he was about to rush to the center line, Scholes's pass also came out, drawing an arc and going straight to Yin Jun's left front empty position.

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

Although Yin Jun's speed was very fast, his position was much behind Finnan's after all, and the two ran towards the football landing point, one left and one right.

For this ball, Finnan was not nervous, because he was confident that he could control the ball first.

Of course, what made him feel relieved was that he was not fighting alone. There were also his teammates Josemi and Harman on the defensive line. Three defensive ones were more than enough.

But Fennan was wrong. He miscalculated the speed difference between himself and Yin Jun. Although Yin Jun was a little behind him, his speed advantage was very obvious, and he was on the inside, so it was easier to seize the long shot from the side and rear. pass the ball.

The two competed for speed, and Yin Jun came from behind, took the first step to grab the landing point, then turned sideways, blocked Finnan with his body, and headed the ball in front of him.

Yin Jun's sense of the ball is excellent, as if the football followed his instructions, it changed its flight trajectory after hitting his head, and fell to the front, while Yin Jun suddenly accelerated to catch up.

Finnan made an obvious movement of pulling the jersey behind him, but he didn't dare to make it too public, and let it go as soon as he pulled it.Because he was worried that he was already the last man in Liverpool's defense line. If he fouled at this time and the referee gave a direct red card, Liverpool would be dead.

Finnan has no doubts about the possibility of the referee giving a red card, because their opponent is Manchester United, and the venue of the match is Old Trafford!
