Chapter 306 Must Win②
2006年1月23日，伦敦时间晚上19:45分，随着主裁判迈克尔.雷恩的一声哨响，2005-2006赛季英超联赛第23轮的一场焦点比赛曼联VS利物浦的比赛开始了。

The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is also the latest kick-off game in this round of the game. This is also a convention. The most focused game is usually played at the last kick-off. In other games that have ended, Arsenal's away game is 0: 1 lost to Everton, and Chelsea also unexpectedly drew with Charlton at home. Therefore, if Manchester United can win Liverpool at home in this game, it will narrow the gap between them and the top two in the league. The gap in points has rekindled the hope of winning the championship.

However, the recent situation of Manchester United is really bad. More importantly, captain Roy Keane terminated his contract with the club without warning, which also caused confusion for the team, although Gary Neville is the captain of the team. However, it was different from being the acting captain at that time. The Manchester United team seemed to be leaderless on the field, which was a bit messy.

…………

After the opening, it was difficult for Manchester United to organize an effective cooperation. Rooney looked helpless in Liverpool's penalty area.

After the opening of the Manchester United team, Cristiano Ronaldo was the most active player. However, the Portuguese more often chose to go it alone and use his personal skills to choose breakthroughs. Although this also put some pressure on Liverpool, but, Benitez seems to have been prepared for this situation. Sissoko and Finnan teamed up to defend Cristiano Ronaldo, and the effect was good.

…………

The camera is also aimed at Ferguson on the sidelines. Now there is a big question mark above everyone's head. I believe this question mark also exists in the hearts of Manchester United players and Manchester United fans. That is why the team captain Roy Keane suddenly The team chose to terminate the contract, and the news was announced before the battle between Manchester United and Liverpool...

What prompted the legendary captain of Manchester United to choose to leave? !
Unfortunately, the camera couldn't find any answers from Ferguson's face. The old Scottish man looked at the situation on the field with a serious expression... The camera also pointed at the former captain Roy Keane in the stands. Keane was wearing sunglasses, I can't see any expression.

***********
In the 203rd minute of the first half of the game, Alonso passed Vidic with a beautiful pull at the front of the penalty area. Facing the pressing Gary Neville, he passed the ball to the forward Gerrard, the captain of Liverpool made a long-range shot. After tricking Fletcher to come up to block, he pulled the football, and then pushed the football towards the goal with his right foot! !

Gerrard's sudden kick made Manchester United's defense in chaos. Ferdinand rushed to Cisse on the left side of the goal, but was still a step too slow. The right hand flew into the net!
Manchester United trails Liverpool 0:1!Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard instigated an exquisite lore!

…………

Old Trafford was deadly quiet, only the wanton cheers of Liverpool fans who came to the away game. In the hearts of Manchester United fans, the cheers of rival Liverpool were a great mockery and gloating, especially in the two seasons of Manchester United this season. In the first round of the team's match, Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-0 in the away game. This kind of cheers must be mixed with the thrill of revenge.

The curse of "FUCK" sounded!
The Manchester United fans started to fight back against the Liverpool fans. The entire stand was like an exploding gunpowder keg. Some Manchester United fans began to throw debris at the fans of the visiting team emotionally. This caused a small riot. Although the situation was quickly controlled by the police, but, The scolding between the two sides intensified, and both sides wanted the other to die immediately.

It is also red, but Manchester United's red and Liverpool's red are incompatible. The confrontation between these two reds is longer than the confrontation between the reds of Arsenal and Manchester United...

…………

Ferguson was furious about the conceded goal, and the Scottish old man was furious at Ferdinand, who was slow to react and did not go up to block Cisse's shot in time.

Ferdinand, who was scolded, obviously had reason to think that he was wronged. Gerrard's goal just now completely threw Manchester United's defense into chaos. ...

However, although dissatisfied with Ferguson's roar and felt wronged, Ferdinand did not dare to show too much dissatisfaction. He glanced at Ferguson and silently looked at the turf.

…………

It was Van der Sar who came to comfort Ferdinand. The old Dutch goalkeeper knew that Ferdinand could no longer have a psychological burden at this time, otherwise Manchester United would be in danger in this game.

…………

In the end, the score of the first half was still 0:1. Manchester United fell behind. In the 36th minute of the first half, Crouch got a single-handed chance for Liverpool. Unfortunately, the 'bamboo pole' push was weak. Being hugged tightly by Van der Sar, Manchester United escaped unharmed; while Manchester United's closest chance to score in the first half came in the 41st minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Hyypia and Carragher in a row. Foot rubbing shot, the football was thrown by Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, and rolled to the left side of the goal. Rooney followed up with a follow-up shot and hit the football on the post...

When the referee Michael Rehn blew the whistle to end the first half, harsh boos sounded from the sky above Old Trafford. In Manchester in January, when spring is approaching, the "Dream Theater" It's like being in the ice of Antarctica...

The camera lens also followed Roy Keane, seeing the former Manchester United captain stepping off the stands and disappearing at the entrance of the stadium's VIP lounge...

…………

Ferguson looked somber in the dressing room at half-time.

Compared with the team's 0:1 road in the first half, the team's chaos on the field annoyed the old Scottish man even more, although Ferguson also considered causing harm to the team's game when announcing Keane's termination Little impact, but when this scene really happened, the godfather of Manchester United still couldn't hide his anger.

"Leo, you need to concentrate in the second half. I don't want another time," Ferguson glared at Ferdinand, who nodded despite feeling aggrieved, "Understood, boss!"

…………

At this time, Ferguson glanced at Li Rui, who was a little silent, and seemed to be hesitating whether to replace Li Rui so early, but thinking of the team's current predicament, Ferguson still made a decision, "Li, you go out to warm up now, Be ready for the second half!"

Li Rui excitedly replied that after staying away from the court for more than a month, he could finally return to the court. This feeling of urgency was unimaginable to outsiders. He immediately ran out of the locker room and went to the court to warm up. Since the coach told him to warm up now, maybe he will replace himself at the beginning of the second half.

…………

At this time, most of the fans had already returned to their seats to watch the second half of the game. Seeing Li Rui warming up on the field ahead of time, and seeing Li Rui who had been away from the field for more than a month, a fierce battle erupted at Old Trafford. Cheers, joy is written on everyone's faces!

With the score behind and the poor performance in the first half, the signal expressed by Li Rui's warm-up at this time made it difficult for the fans to hide their inner excitement. The fans began to shout the name of their No. 10 player.

"Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee!"

Keane had just returned from the VIP lounge to sit in the stands when he saw Li Rui warming up on the sidelines. The cheers from the fans in the stadium also surprised Keane. Excited, it seems that this kid has already won the love of the fans, Keane showed a smile on his sharp face, no matter what happens between him and anyone, he always has a heart for Manchester United, I hope I saw Manchester United doing well.

***********
Jessica was also in the stands. Seeing her boyfriend warming up on the sidelines, she also stood up and applauded. Without her, she understood Li Rui's desire to play better.

However, after the start of the second half, Ferguson did not immediately replace Li Rui. After a simple warm-up, Li Rui sat on the bench again. The Manchester United fans who noticed this detail were a little puzzled.

"Why didn't Li Rui play? Did he get injured again?" The problem of Manchester United fans is everyone's problem. Everyone can see the disadvantages of Manchester United on the field. As long as Li Rui recovers from injury, there is no reason not to come off the bench at this time Yes, the only thing that can be explained is that Li Rui felt unwell during the warm-up just now and couldn't play the game?
Manchester United fans have never been more concerned than they are now.

…………

In the 56th minute of the game, Manchester United suffered another huge blow.

Liverpool attacked, Carragher and Alonso were cooperating, after Carragher got the ball and walked a few steps along the side, he pretended to pass back to Sissoko, but gave the football diagonally to Alonso, and he himself Continue to move forward and run to the front field.Alonso didn't take the ball after getting the ball, but passed the ball to him again, a long-distance two-for-one.

After Carragher got the ball again, he advanced along the side for a certain distance, and suddenly cut inside. When O'Shea came up to interfere, Carragher chose to split the football, and Kewell, who was inserted, took the ball near the bottom line, and then He kicked the football into the penalty area with his right foot.

In the penalty area, Crouch's height had the advantage, grabbed the point, and smashed the football towards the goal with a flick of his head. Van der Sar was unable to make a save, and the football flew into the net...

0:2! !
Manchester United are two goals behind!

…………

Old Trafford was once again only left with the screams of Liverpool fans. The satirical Manchester United slogans waved by Liverpool fans were so conspicuous under the floodlights. The excited Liverpool fans shouted 4:0 Tried to storm the main stand of Manchester United fans, but was stopped by the police.

This goal was a huge blow to Manchester United fans. Everyone saw that the team's performance in the second half did not improve much. If they continue to play like this, it is really possible to be beaten 4:0 by Liverpool...

There were harsh boos from disappointed United fans who started cursing loudly at the club's American owners, the Glazer family never won United fans over after taking over Manchester United in debt, even though the current 0-2 score on the pitch is not much to the American owners However, the fans would rather put this account on the Glazer family. They hate foreign capital. Now that the team is in a bad situation, the fans need to vent. Is there any better object to vent than the Glazer family?
…………

The American boss is sitting in the VIP box at Old Trafford at the moment, listening to the insults, the expression on his face also looks very unnatural.

George Glazer, a relatively influential member of the Glazer family, who is actually in charge of the Manchester United club, was a little annoyed and wanted to throw the goblet in his hand into the trash can. The sound of the goblet falling on the wall and breaking, the American boss really couldn't shoot well, he threw the goblet on the wall...

The atmosphere in the VIP box of the Manchester United boss played an unharmonious movement...

…………

Ferguson looked solemn. At this time, Manchester United fans shouted for Li Rui. The fans didn't know whether Li Rui was able to play after recovering from injury. However, at this time, a small number of fans were calling for Li Rui. The name, and then this kind of shouting expanded to the whole audience, the young Manchester United No. 10 became the hope of Manchester United fans at this moment... This was simply unimaginable a season ago.

In the 61st minute of the game, Gerrard's long-range shot hit the crossbar and almost extended the score. Finally, he couldn't sit still. He called Li Rui over and said: "Li, go warm up, after 2 minutes play."
Li Rui suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up from the bench, and began to warm up again. He pressed his legs on the sidelines, and then kicked twice --- these small movements caused Old Trafford Germany's cheers, warm applause on the court...

…………

In the 65th minute of the game, as Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball in midfield and was pulled down by Sissoko, the ball was dead and Manchester United requested a substitution.

Li Rui came off the bench, he replaced O'Shea.

Li Rui stood on the sidelines, shook his head, twisted his buttocks, and then put away the hem of the red jersey. He high-fived O'Shea, then kicked his right foot, and stepped into the Old Trafford stadium...

At this moment, Dream Theater erupted into loud cheers!
