Chapter 876

Ferguson's request is good. The FA Cup is not a performance match. The double red clubs have to compete at any time. Manchester United have not won yet. We can't just help Gao Xiaodong score.

After the first 20 minutes of competition, Nani and Rooney also saw the intention of Liverpool, staring at Gao Xiaodong's pass line, waiting for steals and traps. If they insist on passing the ball to Gao Xiaodong, it is almost equal to giving the ball to the opponent, so in the next game, they reduced the pass to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong is also a very smart player. He soon found out the tactical intention of Liverpool. He appeared more in the defensive position. When attacking, he tried to catch the ball as little as possible, mainly running without the ball and jumping forward.

Twenty minutes later, Manchester United strengthened their defense, and Liverpool's counterattack was useless. The two sides fought more in midfield, and there were not many chances to shoot.

When Gao Xiaodong first arrived, Ferguson originally intended to let Gao Xiaodong focus on attack, organization and scheduling or use Scholes. However, Scholes is 37 years old, and his athletic ability is not as good as year after year. Under the pressure of opponents, his mistakes increased. Gao Xiaodong gradually took over the organization and scheduling of Manchester United, and Scholes began to play for Gao Xiaodong.

Scholes' athletic ability is worse than that of Gao Xiaodong, but his consciousness is better than that of Gao Xiaodong. After he took over the organization, Manchester United's midfield aggressiveness was a little worse, but it was more orderly. In addition, Gao Xiaodong's forward attack from time to time, the threat of attack was no worse than that of Gao Xiaodong's single core.

The new manager of Liverpool took office. The players' condition today is obviously better than that of the first Red Cross meeting of this season. The players are more active in running, more brave in fighting and more daring to express themselves. Manchester United's midfield has no advantage over Liverpool.

For teams like Manchester United and Liverpool, it doesn't matter if they can't take advantage as a whole. They all have world-class stars. Any player's inspiration may change the direction of the game.

In the 35th minute of the game, the vengeful Liverpool captain Gerrard suddenly speeded up to get rid of Fletcher after receiving the ball in the midfield and went into the 30 meter area to shoot directly.

Gerrard has a strong long-range ability, Manchester United's substitute goalkeeper kutzhak has prepared ahead of time, but Gerrard's shot is powerful and heavy, kutzhak does not dare to take the ball hard, he flies double fists to hit the penalty area.

Agger grabs the drop and makes a diagonal pass to Kuyt. Kuyt stops the ball, turns around and hits the goal directly, but the ball flies out of the bottom line against the post.

United got the ball right and launched a counterattack from the side. Nani used his personal ability to break through and cross the restricted area. Berbatov suddenly nodded forward and rubbed the ball. Rooney jumped up in the middle and didn't touch the ball, but Gao Xiaodong ran to the back point unconsciously. He headed the ball to the near corner of the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's running position is absolutely world-class, but today Liverpool's defense against him is absolutely abnormal. Gao Xiaodong saw that the ball that was about to enter was headed out by Skrtel.

Skrtel also fought today. After he pushed the ball out, his body hit the post, fell to the ground and didn't get up.

In the last five minutes of the first half, Manchester United were ready to keep the score of 1-0 until the second half, while Liverpool, who were behind in the score, took the opportunity to launch a massive attack on Manchester United.

After the ball passed through the Liverpool midfield, Gerrard made a long shot and suddenly passed it to Torres.

In the face of Torres, Vidic felt guilty. Before Torres made any action, he impulsively kicked Torres to the ground with the ball from behind.

Referee Webb whistled for Vidic to foul and gave Liverpool a free kick.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines that depressed ah, you said Torres is a striker, Vidic side and Ferdinand, you play who ah.

"It seems that Vidic has a shadow over Torres. He is afraid to see Torres catch the ball," the commentator said with a smile

It's a good free kick from this position, and Steven Gerrard, the captain and key player of Liverpool, is in charge of it.

Gerrard made a short run-up and kicked a beautiful curve ball. The ball was fast and spinning. After crossing the wall, it went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

The quality of this free kick is really high. Manchester United goalkeeper kuzzak is almost unresponsive. After only half an action, he can only watch the ball fly to the goal.

However, Gerrard's luck was not good today. The ball passed kutzhak's ten fingers, but failed to pass the post. With a bang, the ball hit the crossbar of the goal.

Gerrard was very upset. He looked up, sighed and ran to his half with his head down.

In the first half, Liverpool got three good chances to shoot. Gerrard was the closest to the goal. Unfortunately, Gerrard hit the ball on the crossbar.

Then the two sides did not create a chance to score again. With the referee Webber blowing the whistle at the end of the first half, the players of both sides went back to the dressing room to have a rest.

Although Liverpool fell behind in the first half, coach Kenny Dalglish was very satisfied with the players' performance. He thought that the goal was lost only because the pace of entering the game in the first half was a little slow and Manchester United were not given a chance to score in other times.Liverpool's players are also satisfied with their performance, as they lost four goals in the first half of the season's first double red cross.

Only captain Gerrard was unhappy. He could have equalised in the first half, but the crossbar prevented him from scoring. He was dissatisfied with his luck and performance.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to attack as they did at the end of the first half, while Manchester United took the lead with one goal. They were not in a hurry to attack and defend according to the midfield, trying to strangle the attack of Liverpool out of their own 30 meter area.

It's OK for Liverpool to fight back. With their strength, it's still a little difficult to besiege Manchester United. In the 50th minute of the game, Manchester United's midfield steals and launches a quick counterattack.

Scholes quickly pushed forward the center half. After Rooney received the ball, he saw his teammate Rafael catch up and push the ball to the bottom line. Rafael chased the bottom line and passed the ball to the penalty area.

The counterattack is very fast. The defenders of Liverpool have not come back yet. There are only two centre backs in the back court. In addition to striker Berbatov, Gao Xiaodong stepped in as fast as he could. Meireles in the midfield didn't catch up. Defender Skrtel is really fighting today. Seeing Gao Xiaodong rushing like a high-speed train, he moved to the right side Gao Xiaodong's route is blocked.

Gao Xiaodong ran at high speed and jumped over Skrtel from outside the restricted area.

Gao Xiaodong was so strong and heavy that Skrtel was scared. He quickly squatted. Gao Xiaodong flew directly from Skrtel and headed the ball to the goal.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina had nothing to do with such a header. He didn't even have time to react and the ball flew into the net.

2: 0

GAO Xiaodong's header helped United expand the score.
