A free kick at the top of the penalty area is very dangerous.
What's more, there is also a free kick expert Gerrard in the Red Army camp.
After the referee Webb whistled, more than 70000 Red Devils and hundreds of millions of TV viewers couldn't help taking a breath of air.
"My God! Another free kick
"Both centre backs have yellow cards!"
"Don't you think Weber is our referee?"
"How to defend in the back? Torres is our nemesis
……
Red Devils fans are worried about the situation on the pitch.
"It's a bit of a problem!" "The spot commentator Martin shouts," fouls in this position, Gerrard's free kick is not joking, but the most dangerous is not two centre backs have carried a yellow card? It's only been less than 30 minutes. How about the next 60 minutes? "
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's face darkened after Webb's whistle. He wasn't worried about the free kick. Although the free kick was also dangerous, what he was most worried about was the yellow cards for both centre backs.
As the closest and most important centre back to the goal in the defence, if you have a yellow card on your back, you will be worried about whatever you do in the back. In this game, Vidic and Evans are not playing against any cat or dog, but against Torres and Gerrard. United's defense is really a problem.
Ferdinand's injury is not healed and he has not been included in the squad. Brown is old and has few games. He is not a real centre back. Smalling is too young and inexperienced. If there is something wrong with the centre back, Manchester United's defence will be in danger.
In the face of Gerrard's free kick, Manchester United discharged a thick wall, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is also ready.
The eyes of more than 70000 fans are all fixed on the Red Army captain Gerrard. Manchester United fans are constantly hissing, trying to interfere with Gerrard.
Gerrard didn't run up, just stood behind the ball, less than two meters away. He looked stern and turned a deaf ear to the boos from outside.
After Webber's whistle, Gerrard took a step forward and pushed a curved ball out of the arch of his right foot to hit the top left corner of the goal.
While Gerrard was pushing, Torres, who was leaning against Vidic, suddenly ran away and the ball just flew to the goal from the gap between Vidic and Torres.
So close, van der Sar has no time to react, he can only watch the ball fly into the top left corner of the goal.
2: 2
Gerrard pierced van der Sar's ten fingers for the second time with a beautiful free kick.
After the goal, Gerrard was very excited. While running wildly, he raised his index finger to greet his teammates. When he ran near the corner, Gerrard also had a passionate gliding.
The Manchester United fans were silly. At the moment of scoring, no one in the stadium could say anything.
Manchester United players can only shake their heads and smile bitterly. This free kick is really wonderful and van der Sar can't save it.
"Beautiful," sighed Martin, the commentator! Gerald! The soul of the Red Army! In the double red meeting, he always shows something! Originally, I thought it would be a massacre, but I didn't expect it to be a goal fight. It was less than 30 minutes. The two sides have scored four goals. If this goes on, maybe some players will perform a hat trick. In the history of the double red cross, no player has played a hat trick for 20 years, while Manchester United is even longer. No one has scored in the double red cross since 1946 Three goals
CCTV commentator He Hui also frowned and said: "the dream start has become a difficult mode. It's really hard to play the double red clubs. It's a contest between the world's top teams. Let's go back to the same starting line and see who will break the deadlock first."
On the field, United's two class 92 boss Giggs, Scholes after a brief discussion, called Gao Xiaodong over.
Scholes serious way: "high, below you don't plug so fierce, our two centre backs have taken a yellow card, you stay in the back to protect, wait for the half-time, see the boss's adjustment to make plans."
Gao Xiaodong has no opinion. In this case, even if Scholes doesn't explain, as a midfield with both attack and defense, Gao Xiaodong must put more energy on defense.
Of course, Gao Xiaodong is eager to score more goals, but he is more eager to win the double red clubs than to score goals. He doesn't want his first derby to end in failure.
When the game started again, the morale of the Liverpool players came up. They also seized the lifeline of Manchester United, that is, the centre back didn't cooperate with each other, and they were yellow carded. They began to cross the midfield to find Torres and the inserted Gerrard and meleres through long and oblique passes, and directly attacked Manchester United's back line.
However, after Gao Xiaodong returned to the centre back, he could not only use his body to block the header, but also follow the inserted players. It was much easier for Vidic and Evans to concentrate on dealing with Torres. Under their two men's marking, Liverpool's long-distance passing and hanging tactics didn't play any role. On the contrary, they were intercepted by Manchester United and hit back.
In the 35th minute, Nani quickly attacked along the side road after receiving the ball from Scholes. Konchesky and Paulson came to defend. Nani quickly cut across to the restricted area, dodged the angle and then started to shoot from a long distance.The ball was blocked by defender Skrtel, but it still flew to the restricted area. Berbatov tried his best to put in a supplementary shot, but the ball was too fast. Berbatov failed to touch the ball, and the ball was confiscated by Reina.
Two minutes later, Johnson made a long cross from the side to find Torres, the ball was headed by Vidic, and Gerrard and Gao Xiaodong rushed to grab the ball.
Gerrard raised his legs to pick the ball higher than Xiaodong, but gaoxiaodong turned faster than him. Before Gerrard stopped the ball, gaoxiaodong quickly bullied him into his arms and leaned against him. Gerrard was hit to one side and gaoxiaodong left the ball.
Gao Xiaodong takes a few steps forward. Seeing Rooney and Berbatov running, Gao Xiaodong quickly passes for Berbatov.
It was a long pass 40 meters away, but Berbatov showed the fans his super basic skills. He easily unloaded the ball in front of him with the instep of his back, then hit it with his heel and passed it to Rooney.
The fans were all conquered by Gao Xiaodong's accurate long pass and Berbatov's beautiful stop and pass.
"Berba's stopping and passing are so beautiful! If he is half as active as Gao Xiaodong, the core would have been him," sighed Martin, the commentator
He Hui, the commentator of CCTV, said with a smile: "fortunately, Xiaodong passed it to xiaoshage. If he passed it to Rooney, it is estimated that the ball will stop three meters away." But he Hui also said a good word about Rooney, "but Rooney is in good health. Even if he stops three meters away, he can squeeze the defender to get the ball."
After Rooney got the ball, he faced only centre back Carragher.
Carragher is the vice-president of the Liverpool team. He is an iron centre back. He is accurate in position, fierce in fighting and difficult to deal with.
But now Rooney's advantage is that there is space, the little fat man accelerates forward, stops and changes direction, wants to get rid of Carragher, but Carragher's speed is not slow, he immediately moves sideways to keep up, blocking Rooney's way forward.
Rooney looked at the approaching pursuit, a little worried, changed direction again, forced to shoot.
Carragher didn't miss. When Rooney shot, he raised his foot to block the ball to the side.
By this time Nani, who was on the wing, had quickly caught up with him. He grabbed the ball, made a false move, and then turned to kill the rib of Liverpool's penalty area.
Konchesky pursued Nani closely, Skrtel also gave up Berbatov to fill the position in the past, Nani did not pass the ball, to the front of the penalty area, just a big shot.
The kick was off the ground and the angle was tricky. Goalkeeper Reina didn't touch the ball, but the ball bounced out on the post.
Rooney and Berbatov were complaining that Nani didn't pass the ball. Seeing the ball hit the post, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
In Nani's position, it's more reasonable to pass, but there's nothing to say about shooting. After all, it's already facing the goal.
Nani's goalposts awakened Liverpool. They saw that Gao Xiaodong's direct attack on Manchester United's back line was ineffective after he withdrew his protection. They immediately changed their tactics and continued to carry on the opening attack from the side.
There are hidden dangers in Manchester United's centre back. Gao Xiaodong can't boldly plug in. There is only one Scholes left. They can only attack Liverpool from two sides.
Liverpool are strong on the right and weak on the left. The gap between Manchester United's two flanks is not big. There is no attack in the middle of the two sides. No one can help the opponent for a while. In the end, no one on both sides can score again in the first half. They can only wait for the second half to win after the half-time.
