The most low-key superstar

Chapter 373 Finally Taking the Lead
It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but this time, this rule has not been reflected in Nicole. It is not a small happy event to say that the business contract has been negotiated and the income has increased significantly.But in the game against Liverpool, Nicole was very upset.

Now Liverpool's ranking is very low, and now for Benitez, the possibility of them hitting the Champions League place is already very low, even the Europa League next season is also at risk.

For them, there is no room for loss in every game now, otherwise they are likely to create the lowest point in recent seasons.

"We can't fight head-on with our opponents. We must pay attention to strategy and don't worry. One point is acceptable. Of course, it is ideal if we can score goals in the counterattack." Due to Liverpool's overall defeat on all fronts this season, Benitez no longer has the high-spirited spirit of the past, vowing to compete with his opponent.

When he mobilized before the battle in the locker room, he lacked confidence from himself. As for whether the players who sat down on the chairs listened, no one knew.

And Gerrard, the standard-bearer of Liverpool, also sat there with a calm face and sorted out his things. He looked no different from before, but the people around him knew that he was completely disappointed with the team and supported him. All that remains at Liverpool is the love for the team that began as a child.

Perhaps Benitez had already planned in his heart. After he finished his speech, he left wisely, leaving time for the players, specifically Gerrard.

Gerrard stood up and looked at his teammates who had no fighting spirit, "I don't want to know what you think, we really failed this season, but today, our opponent is Manchester United, and we are wearing It's Liverpool's jersey. For this jersey, we have to fight to the end."

"Steven, we listen to you." Except for Torres, everyone else immediately responded to the captain, and Torres seems to have known that Benitez's mission in Liverpool can be declared over, and Torres himself may have to think about the future. As for the feud with Manchester United mentioned by Gerrard, it is really nothing to Torres.

"Please remember, football is not about life and death, but above life and death. Let's get out."

"I really didn't expect that the game could be played like this. I think the fans should be as disappointed as I am. Liverpool, without passion, did not hit the sparks in the game against Manchester United. It seems that only Jay Ladd is desperately trying, and the others are completely replicas of Fulham in the previous game." The commentator was extremely disappointed. In his opinion, even though Liverpool did not perform well this season, they still have strength. The national derby must be a passionate collision, but 10 minutes have passed since the opening, and neither team has shown anything that makes people shine.

Liverpool defended their backcourt tightly, and facing such a Liverpool, Manchester United was also a bit unfamiliar, so they could only attack cautiously. They had never encountered such a weird Red Army.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt weird. He couldn't make up his mind, and asked Perrin from time to time, "See what's going on? There must be something wrong. Tell Nicole, don't rush forward, be more steady, be more steady. "

"Okay, I'll tell them." Perrin couldn't see clearly either.

Nickel was very annoying. He played the ball very aggrievedly. He always felt that his hands and feet were tied. He really wanted to attack vigorously, but Perrin kept sending him instructions, telling him to be careful.

"It doesn't matter, guys, show them some strength." Nicole finally couldn't stand it anymore. If this continues, the game will be over.

In fact, the Liverpool players are also surprised that whenever they face Manchester United at Old Trafford, it will be a stormy attack. However, today, apart from some tentative attacks by the opponent in the opening game, They have been carefully looking for opportunities on the periphery, which is very different from their idea of ​​​​preparing for the opponent's crazy attack.

However, now, the Manchester United team has suddenly sped up their offensive rhythm, and their inward breakthrough has also become resolute. The two sides played very quickly, and their defensive pressure suddenly increased a lot.

Berbatov headed the ball high, causing the fans to sigh. Then, Rooney's cold shot went wide of the penalty area, which also attracted applause from the stands. Valencia was tripped on the wing. The referee did not The slightest expression drew boos everywhere.

"Oh, Manchester United's offensive is gradually picking up. Could it be that Liverpool is waiting for their opponents to attack and they want to counterattack? However, their counterattack strength does not seem to be sufficient."

"Would you like me to go..." Perrin found that the team had suddenly increased their attacking intensity, which was not in line with Ferguson's request.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you wait any longer. Let everyone just let go of the fight. Don't think about it anymore." Ferguson stopped Perrin, and he also decided not to think about it anymore. It's okay to attack.

Although Manchester United's offensive is very fierce, they also have enough manpower to defend, and Liverpool does not have a good chance. Torres alone is not enough to shake Manchester United's defense.

Finally, in the 40nd minute of No.[-], he broke through two people in a row. After that, facing the frontal defense of his old opponent Gerrard, Nickel kicked a very high-quality long shot from the penalty area line. This ball made Gerrard also A little unprepared, he didn't expect Nickel to choose to shoot when he was defending well.

"Nickel, he's on Gerrard again, this time he's able to break through... oh, the shot—"

"The ball hits the post - it's in! It's in! Oh! Carragher, Carragher this time, Nicole's shot hits the post, it bounces back into the box, it hits Carragher's leg, Roll in the net and now finally something has changed on the pitch and Manchester United are one goal ahead!"

"Although it was an own goal, Nicole should also be credited. To be honest, Nicole's long-range shot is still very beautiful."

"Damn hell, you can score goals like this." Although Benitez muttered in his mouth, he was still expressionless when he cut from the camera.

As for the Old Trafford stadium, it was completely boiling at the moment. After waiting for almost half time, they finally saw a goal. Although it was an own goal, the team finally took the lead.

Nickel was very happy. He was not frustrated because the goal was counted as an own goal. A goal is worth celebrating. He ran to the sidelines, waved his arms, and directed the fans to play a human wave.

"Hey-hey-hey-"

"Come on, what's the matter with you?" Gerrard finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart. His teammate's uninspiring play style made him unacceptable. Now that he lost the ball, he couldn't help it. Roaring Gerrard, angry Red Army standard-bearer.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United took the lead as they wished. They happily left the pitch and ran to the player tunnel. This goal greatly boosted the morale of the Red Devils.
