Chapter 1506 Maximizing Benefits (Second Update on Guarantee)

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool fans thought that this game would be like those other games. Liverpool scored early, established the lead, and then began to play their most accustomed and most comfortable defensive counterattack.

Watching those sharp counterattacks again and again, the Liverpool fans couldn't help but get excited.

Although Liverpool's counterattack is not as good-looking as the artistic football of Barcelona and Arsenal, it wins directly.With Bale, Sanchez, Rodriguez... These wingers, plus Suarez and Chen Yingxiong, playing a quick counterattack is the most suitable for Liverpool.

This kind of attack is like mercury pouring down the ground, which is very beautiful.

A few passes can hit the front of the opponent's penalty area from the backcourt, leaving the opponent with no chance to return to defense.

This kind of football is the favorite of English people who like directness.

But today's game was different from usual.

They didn't go to the lead at the start of the game.

Manchester United are a bit more tenacious than they thought.

Yes, be tough...

In the eyes of Liverpool fans, these Manchester United players are at a more tenacious level.

Apparently it was their death throes.Their tenacity cannot withstand Liverpool's powerful offensive.Perhaps within 15 minutes, their defense would collapse under Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing.

Liverpool's main tactics are naturally defensive counterattacks.But this is the tactic after they score the goal. Before they score the goal, Liverpool's tactic is to attack and attack again, blasting open the door of any opponent with fierce artillery fire.

So for a period of time after the start of the game, Liverpool's offensive firepower was quite fierce-if you want to score as soon as possible, the offense has to be fierce.

Liverpool fans are not worried because they are familiar with this.Even if Manchester United can last 5 minutes, can they still last 10 minutes?Can it last 10 minutes or can it last 15 minutes?

In short, Liverpool's offensive will not diminish in the slightest until they score a goal!
※ ※ ※

The feelings of the Liverpool players on the field may be more real than those of the fans in the stands.

After 10 minutes, they sensed that something was wrong.

This Manchester United team is not the same as the Manchester United in their impression.

In other words, it is not the same as Manchester United they thought.

What exactly is different?

They couldn't talk about the night for a while.

Anyway, I think these Manchester United players are particularly good at fighting.

Even if he let go, he would still be defending with gritted teeth.

But that's all there is to it.

Because Manchester United are always defending, defending for five minutes and defending for 5 minutes.It was completely overwhelmed by Liverpool's powerful offensive.

Such a team that can only defend and can only defend, what threat is there?
All they could do was shiver under Liverpool's powerful attack and pray that their defense could hold on for another minute.

But it doesn't change the result.

The Liverpool players didn't take the abnormality of their opponents to heart.

They continued to bombard this unscrupulously, just hoping to break through Manchester United's goal as soon as possible and seal the victory.In their view, as long as they take the lead, the victory is sealed.Even if it leads by one goal.

This is the confidence and arrogance of this Liverpool team.

But sometimes, being too confident and domineering is not necessarily a good thing...

※ ※ ※

Just when Liverpool fans and players thought that Manchester United would collapse under their offensive and they could easily win Manchester United.

Manchester United suddenly launched a sharp counterattack!

No one thought of it.

Manchester United, who was pressed to the ground by Liverpool, could only cover their head with their hands in embarrassment and shrink their body to be beaten, but they were able to turn over suddenly under such circumstances, and put Liverpool under pressure , then raised his fist and greeted Liverpool's vitals...

This is amazing.So much so that when Manchester United's counterattack hit Liverpool's goal, many Liverpool fans were still stunned and couldn't believe it-Rooney of the opponent had already reached the top of the penalty arc!

"Wayne Rooney! He's dribbling the ball! God, he's so fast! It doesn't look like he's a 31-year-old at all!"

"There are no Manchester United players around Rooney, he lacks support... but that's not a problem! Because... Liverpool don't have many players!"

"Liverpool is too impatient. They are in a hurry to score, but they forget the space behind them... let Manchester United go straight to the city with a counterattack!" The commentator obviously forgot that he had praised Liverpool's offensive before. Manchester United can't breathe...

In the exclamation of the commentators, Rooney has faced Liverpool's last defender, central defender Skrtel.

Because of his slow speed, Skrtel always stayed in the backcourt when the team pressed the offense heavily.Pepe, a defender who likes to attack, likes and enjoys the feeling of pressing up to attack.

Now the Portuguese has tasted the bitter fruit of what he did, and is desperately chasing him back.

Defense can only rely on Skrtel.

Rooney didn't have too many fancy fake moves against Skrtel. He has competed with Liverpool for many years and naturally knows Skrtel's ability.This Gundam central defender was not good at turning around and chasing back, and his speed was slow. Now he is 32 years old, and his physical function has begun to decline, so his speed is even slower...

So all he has to do is very simple, that is, move the football to the side, and then speed up the ball!
He did.

Facing Rooney's simple action, Skrtel had no choice but to reach out his hand in despair, trying to pull Rooney down.

I don't know if it's his long hands, or his luck...or bad luck?

Anyway, he really grabbed Rooney's clothes, and then he didn't care about anything else, he yanked it down hard!
Rooney, who had already rushed into the penalty area, fell to the ground!

The referee Howard Webber's whistle sounded over the noisy Anfield stadium, which was particularly harsh.

penalty!

※ ※ ※

Rooney fell to the ground and rolled a few times before releasing the strength on his body.

When he was rolling, he heard the harsh whistle, and now his first reaction is to look back at the referee.Spotted the referee was running towards the penalty area while pointing at... the penalty spot!

He succeeded!

He jumped up from the ground with his arms raised, and then raised his arms and shouted!It was as if he had scored a goal.

In fact, if he really wanted to break through just now, Skrtel would not be able to hold his clothes. He could easily pass Skrtel, and then face a Reina, and he also had full confidence to hit the football.

But out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Skrtel's hand reaching out, and he suddenly changed his mind.

If I just put the football in, the blow to Liverpool may not be big enough.They are fully staffed, and they are at home. With more than 70 minutes left in the game, there is no chance to get back.

Leading by only one goal is not safe for Manchester United.But after scoring this goal, Liverpool will definitely improve their defense level. At that time, it will not be easy for Manchester United to have such a good counterattack opportunity.

Maybe this goal is Manchester United's only goal in this game.

How can Manchester United maximize the benefits?
A goal, it is best to make Liverpool lose one player, and one less central defender, so that they will surely have more loopholes in the defense...

Even if Martin O'Neill made adjustments and replaced Agger.Also remove an offensive player, so that the pressure on Manchester United's defense is reduced.In this way, Manchester United also have more opportunities to attack.

In such a short period of time, Rooney instantly sorted out the relationship between these issues, and then made a decision.

He deliberately slowed down, and Skrtel didn't let him down, grabbing the hem of his clothes firmly.

Everything after that is too simple.

Because Skrtel did have a pulling action, which is very obvious, so no one can say that Rooney is diving.

Malicious fouls blocked United's attack, plus Skrtel was the last hurdle in Liverpool's defense. If he was breached, Rooney could face the goalkeeper directly.Now that this opportunity is gone, the punishment will naturally be heavy.

Referee Weber ran up to Skrtel and took out a red card from his breast pocket!
"Red card!"

"Skrtel got a heavy penalty for his foul!"

"It's not just as simple as a red card... Skrtel's foul made him leave the field by himself, and at the same time gave Manchester United a penalty! Liverpool's start couldn't have been worse than this!"

"This is England's top derby! This is the great showdown between Manchester United and Liverpool! Red card! Penalties! Everything is here! Let's have a few more beautiful goals!"

Although the situation suddenly became unfavorable for Liverpool, but there were so many commentators, one or two were excitedly yelling in the commentary booth.Liverpool's habitual strength makes many games lose suspense and meaning.

These narrators also find it boring.

But now Manchester United's tenacity and hard work have finally put the game in suspense. They are more motivated to comment on such a game!
※ ※ ※

Although there was nothing controversial about Skrtel's foul, Liverpool's players rushed up and surrounded Webb to protest. Their reason was that Rooney dived.

This reason is really untenable.Weber asked Gerald: "Do you believe what you say, Stephen?"

Gerald was also speechless.

And so it was settled.

The protests of the Liverpool players were ineffective.United got a penalty and Skrtel had to go off.

The Liverpool fans in the stands didn't care so much. They raised their middle fingers at Webber, and many Liverpool fans were still beating and scolding him: "Everyone knows that Webber is a Manchester United fan! Damn it! He shouldn't be allowed to enforce this law." A game!!! And Rooney, the Everton bastard!!"

These voices will not reach Weber's ears.

He was standing on the penalty spot, urging the Liverpool players to get out of the box so that Manchester United could take a penalty.

The player who took the penalty kick was Rooney.

As he walked up to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms, Webb pushed it away and there was a loud boo from the Liverpool fans in the stands behind the goal.

The stand he was facing happened to be the marked "KOP" stand.

The Liverpool fans here are the most fanatical. They made various actions to intimidate and interfere with Rooney who made a free throw.

But this scene is a trifle for Rooney.What scene has he not seen in his career?

He was originally an Everton player and an Everton fan since he was a child. Everton and Liverpool are sworn enemies, so he has never been liked by Liverpool fans since his debut.Being right with the Liverpool fans was all too familiar to him.

He will not be crushed by such pressure.

He set the football in place, then backed away, waiting for the referee's whistle to sound again.

At that moment, he wanted Liverpool's life!
※ ※ ※

Everyone on Manchester United's bench and coach's bench stretched their necks, leaned out, and looked at Liverpool's goal.

No one noticed that Ferguson, who was sitting on the coach's bench without any movement, suddenly clenched his hands on his knees into fists...
