In the FA Cup semi-final, Liverpool once again visited Old Trafford.
Manchester United has basically no hope of winning the Premier League, because if Liverpool beat Hull City in the next round, then the Reds will win the championship four rounds in advance, and the possibility of Manchester United reversing is very slim.
In this case, Ferguson concentrated all his forces, focusing on the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League game.
Benitez also put the center of gravity in the cup competition. Yang Yang and Gerrard and other major generals are in this game.
Manchester United has learned the previous lessons, even at their own home, still taking a defensive position, and on the right back, O'Shea and Brown failed, but arranged for Brazilian teenager Rafael.
This eighteen-year-old Brazilian teenager is the key cultivated object of Manchester United's right wing this season. He has played for Manchester United many times in league and cup games, but he has played the most important game so far. Challenge Manchester City's derby.
It was also because of the injury to O'Shea and Brown that time.
But it is obviously different tonight.
Because, this time he faced the wolf like Liverpool, and Yang Yang, the world's first football player.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United focused on the defense and was supported by Fletcher in the midfield. Raphael was also trembling. He didn't dare to be careless and didn't give Yang Yang too good a chance.
But gradually, with the deepening of the game, especially when Yang Yang and Liverpool gradually stabilized their rhythm, after entering the game, Raphael was under increasing pressure.
Especially when the game reached the 22nd minute, Liverpool quickly launched an attack to the right of the frontcourt. Kuyt pressed Evra to put the ball down and then passed the ball to Crouch.
The English high man dribbles the ball back and passes it to Gerald who plugs in later.
In the process, Yang Yang suddenly and silently suddenly inserted diagonally behind Ferdinand and Vidic from the left side of the frontier of the penalty area. The speed was very fast, and it was quite determined. When Raphael responded and caught up, he Has rushed into the penalty area, and Gerrard's straight ball also accurately passed behind Vidic and Evra.
...
"Yang Yang leaned in behind ... catching the ball ... straight up!"
"Goal in !!!!!!"
"Wow, in the 22nd minute, Yang Yang opened the record for Liverpool!"
"He looks very relaxed, and this goal is indeed not difficult, mainly relying on the cooperation of teammates, but Manchester United's defense has been continuously pulled out of the gap."
"The eighteen-year-old Raphael obviously didn't keep up with Yang Yang, he looked very annoyed."
"But here, I want to say to Raphael, boy, don't be frustrated. There are not many defenders who can defend Yang Yang in this world. At least you did well in the first twenty minutes, didn't you?"
...
Yang Yang's goal came easily, but in fact it was not sudden.
In the first twenty minutes or so, Liverpool basically controlled the situation. Manchester United was obviously under the shadow of the previous fiasco and never dared to attack in front of Liverpool.
Obviously, Ferguson is very clear that Benitez is eager to fight them out.
In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo's unsatisfactory performance this season, Manchester United lost a weapon to counterattack, and their offensive strength was also greatly affected. Naturally, they did not dare to support.
It wasn't until Yang Yang scored a goal that Manchester United began to show signs of aggressiveness and played several threatening offenses, but Reina's condition tonight was very stable and he never gave Manchester United a chance to score.
The two sides stalemate until the 48th minute of the second half. Yang Yang just made a continuous threat at the opening, and in the case of a one-on-one left-handed ball, he forcibly broke through Rafael and passed the bottom line to the middle of the penalty area.
Crouch nodded the header before ferrying, Gerrard caught up with a close header and scored another goal for Liverpool, two to zero.
After Manchester United's offensive play was more aggressive, and in the 78th minute, Tevez pulled back a game, but eventually lost to Liverpool 1-2 at home and was eliminated.
Liverpool defeated Manchester United 2-1 with goals from Yang Yang and Gerrard, and successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.
...
At the Wembley Stadium in London, another matchup in the FA Cup, Chelsea vs. Arsenal.
In the eighteenth minute, the gunman was assisted by Gibbs and Walcott scored a goal.
But in the 33rd minute, Lampard assisted Malouda to equalize the score.
Then the two teams were stuck together. Until the 84th minute, Lampard once again assisted Drogba to score a key goal.
In the end, Chelsea beat Arsenal two to one, with Liverpool FC FA Cup final.

On the afternoon of April 25, Kingston Communications Stadium, Hull, Yorkshire, England.
In the 34th round of the Premier League, Hull City played against Liverpool.
When the referee Martin Atkinson blew the whistle at the end of the game, the bench players of Liverpool who had been waiting on the sidelines had already rushed into the stadium and cheered furiously to celebrate.
Liverpool fans who followed the team to the away road were equally thrilled. They sang Liverpool's team song throughout the game, and at the moment when the whistle sounded, they sang another song at the opening.
we are the champion!
The scoreboard on Kingston Communications Stadium shows the final score of the two teams at this moment, one to three.
Although Manchester United conceded five goals in the second half at home and conceded five goals in the second half, eventually reversing Tottenham 5-2, it still failed to stop Liverpool and won the Premier League title this season four rounds in advance!
...
In fact, this game was not easy at all.
The Hull City team is currently ranked 17th in the Premier League and is only three points away from Middlesbrough in the 18th relegation zone. This team is desperately trying to relegate.
No matter who this kind of team is, they will feel very headache when they encounter it.
Due to the FA Cup, Yang Yang once again took a rest and sat on the bench. In the first half, Liverpool failed to create a truly threatening offensive, but instead was attacked sharply by the Hull City team.
Until the 50th minute of the first half, midfielder George Boateng fouled Mascherano and was given a yellow card warning to give Liverpool a free kick in the frontcourt. Xavi Alonso scored a free kick , But the result was a rebound on the wall, the Spanish midfielder kept up with another long shot, and then hit the bottom right corner of the goal.
However, after changing sides in the second half, Liverpool still failed to expand the score, and could not create an effective offensive. Instead, in the 63rd minute, the Hull City team pulled back a game to equalize the score again.
In the 65th minute, Yang Yang came off the bench.
In the 73rd minute, Benayong made a cross from the right. Yang Yang then went unguarded and scored a header from the edge of the penalty area.
At the eighty-ninth minute, Aveloya broke into the penalty area and kicked the goal on the right, but was saved by Hull City goalkeeper Maihir. Yang Yang followed up to pick up the leak and hit the volley. 3 to 1!
From the score point of view, three to one seems easy, but the process is very thrilling.
Liverpool itself also did not perform particularly well, because the team continued to fight in multiple lines, and the coaching staff rotated again, resulting in the team not being in the best condition. In contrast, the Hull City team is united in the team and is doing its best to relegate.
It is not difficult to understand Liverpool's uneasiness in this trade.
But in any case, he was able to beat his opponent three-to-one with no surprises and won the championship four rounds in advance. Liverpool can also temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, the team will be fully devoted to the FA Cup final and the Champions League.
...
When Liverpool players tossed Benitez in front of the away coach, the audience still sang Liverpool fans.
According to the practice of the Premier League, although Liverpool won the championship four rounds in advance, the championship trophy still has to be retained until the final round, which is the 38th round of the Premier League. Liverpool ’s last home awards will be awarded, but this does not hinder Liverpool players. Celebrate with the fans who came away.
This is the second Premier League trophy in the history of Liverpool, successfully defending the Premier League title. This is just like a dream for Liverpool fans. I ca n’t believe it anyway, especially seeing the team show so amazing this season. Momentum.
The League Cup wins, the League wins, followed by the FA Cup and the Champions League!
Everyone was obviously not satisfied, especially the players on the court, who celebrated very restrainedly, not only because it was an away game, but more importantly, they were still looking forward to the next two big cup matches.
It will be a hard fight to play Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
Although the Blues have been beaten by Liverpool 6 to 1 at Stamford Bridge, Hiddink's team will definitely be very difficult.
There is also the Champions League semi-final opponent Manchester United, and even the future final opponent.
Liverpool's momentum this season is unprecedented, and the expectations and goals inside and outside the team are also unprecedented.
Everyone knows clearly that winning the league is just the beginning.
This is far from a time for memorable celebrations, the next more difficult challenges are waiting ahead.
