Chapter 139 The New Manchester United Killer

After the weekend game, the turmoil of Barcelona's massacre of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu has gradually subsided. The second round of the Champions League semi-final is coming, and the media's attention has also shifted to the Champions League.

Judging from the current situation, Chelsea, who drew 0:0 with Barcelona in the first round, and Manchester United, who drew 1:1 with Liverpool, are more dominant.

Ferguson said in an interview with reporters: "We have already had a huge advantage in the first leg. Manchester United will enter the final again. In the past few years, we were unlucky and lost a few good games. Now we are far away from those unlucky. This is the time for us to win the championship."

"As far as the strength of the team is concerned, the number of (Champions League) championships we have won is not as good as what we should have won. If possible, I hope to win two more (Champions League) championships before retiring."

Ferguson also talked about his successor: "I like Mourinho very much. He is a good guy. I get along well with him, but who will be the next (Manchester United coach) is not up to me to decide."

Ferguson's words started the slobbering of both sides, and players from both teams came out to express their opinions.

Liu Ting said in front of reporters: "He wants to win two Champions League titles before retiring? If that's the case, then he will never think about retiring, because two Champions League titles are simply impossible for Manchester United."

What Liu Ting said was honest, once Ronaldo left, Manchester United would have no chance to win the Champions League in a short time.From the current point of view, everyone who understands knows that Ronaldo will definitely go to Real Madrid in the summer.Relying on Rooney Lu Xiaopang to lead the team to win the Champions League?It might as well believe that sows can climb trees.

The Champions League match day is gradually approaching. Liverpool's away game against Manchester United was the day before, and the next day was Barcelona's away game against Chelsea.

In any case, everyone who pays attention to football has turned their eyes to England, focusing on Manchester and London.

Liverpool has recently completed contract renewals with Agger and Carragher in succession. Carragher will die at Anfield, and Agger was not lured away by AC Milan. It is a good thing before the game.

Manchester United also seemed to be fighting against each other. Manchester United also announced at this time that they had renewed their contract with Rooney. Rooney's weekly salary will be increased to 12 pounds. Rooney also said happily: "I will only play for Manchester United for the rest of my career."

Rooney doesn't know yet, when Mourinho goes to coach Manchester United in the future, do you think Manchester United still has your place?
Liverpool finally confirmed the big list, but Torres was still unable to play because of his injury, and he was not included in the big list at all.

On Manchester United's side, Ferdinand, who had strained his muscles in the first round, was not as serious as expected, and he is likely to play in the second round. This has become one of the reasons why Liverpool is not optimistic.

On the evening of May 5th, Liverpool's away game against Manchester United in the second round of the Champions League semi-final came.

The two teams are warming up before the game. Zhan Jun is explaining the starting lineup: "Today's game, both teams have a 442 formation. The visiting team Liverpool's starting lineup is goalkeeper Reina, back four Gareth Bale, Carragher, Agger and Arbeloa. The four midfielders are Mascherano, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard and Modric. Dicky and O'Shea, Ferdinand who was injured in the first round also came back, Evra also suffered a small injury in the league at the weekend, but now it seems that there is no problem, Manchester United's four midfielders are Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson and Park Ji-sung, Rooney and Ronaldo play double strikers."

The two teams stood on the pitch and waited for the kick-off. Liu Ting could hear the scolding from all the Manchester United fans. Almost the entire Liverpool team, from the coaching staff to every player, was insulted once.

When he was at home, Liu Ting thought it was very interesting to watch the opposing players being scolded by his own fans, but now in an away game, especially in such an important game as the Champions League semi-finals, it is definitely not interesting to be scolded by the opposing fans.

The game is also indispensable for the presence of celebrity stars, and Beckham also returned to Old Trafford to watch the game.

Football is sometimes very small, and there are still those few people who go around, and sometimes it is very big, and once you leave, you can never come back.

Beckham left Manchester United in 03. Now 6 years have passed. Beckham has never played against Manchester United, and has never returned to Old Trafford.

At the beginning of the game, both teams tested each other first.

In the first 5 minutes, neither team had a shot.

In the first round, Liverpool drew 1:1 at home with Manchester United. If the game ended 0:0, Liverpool would be eliminated due to away goals, so Manchester United can drag on slowly, but Liverpool must attack and score.

In the 7th minute, Liu Ting and Gerrard slammed into the wall in the front court and then shot a strong shot from the penalty area. The ball hit Vidic and went wide. Liverpool won the first corner kick.

Harvey Alonso corner kick out, Dirk Dirk was sentenced to rush goalkeeper foul.

This is Old Trafford, and Manchester United will not be passive.

In the 9th minute, Rooney passed the ball to Anderson from the left side of the penalty area. If this pass was successful, Anderson would be turned offside to form a single-handedly. Xiao Ma made a key interception and destroyed the ball.

The two teams began to enter the state, and Manchester United threatened Liverpool's goal by virtue of their home court advantage.

In the 12th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Bell's cross from the left, and Carragher fell down in the defense to give the opponent a chance. Park Ji-sung fell to the ground and shoveled.

The Manchester United players told the referee that the ball had crossed the line as a whole. The referee followed the lineman's opinion and believed that the ball had not crossed the line. Liverpool escaped unharmed.

Alan Hansen said: "Age saved the team. In the last round, he gave Manchester United an away goal with an own goal assist. This time he completed the redemption. If it wasn't for him, Liverpool would have conceded the goal."

Liverpool also escaped the first day of the junior high school but did not escape the fifteenth day, and they really lost the ball soon.

In the 15th minute, Gerrard fouled Ronaldo in the backcourt and Manchester United won a free kick 32 meters away from the goal.

Although the position is relatively positive, the distance is already a bit far, but the Liverpool team is still serious about organizing the wall. Everyone knows that Ronaldo has a beautiful free kick.

But in the end, Ronaldo, who was in good shape, couldn't stop him. He kicked a beautiful deciduous ball to the world wave. Reina couldn't make a save and watched the ball enter the net.

Reina's state in this game was not as good as in the previous game at home, otherwise he should have saved this kind of long-range free kick, after all, the long distance gives the goalkeeper more time to react.

It is indeed a morale blow to be scored by the opponent's leading star with a world wave.

The commentary on the local TV station in Manchester said: "Ronaldo's world wave is another goal in the 15th minute of the first half. History is repeated again. Manchester United is very hopeful to enter the Champions League final again."

The game restarted, and Manchester United began to control the rhythm. A one-goal lead is not insurance, but it is always in the lead.

Last year, Manchester United drew against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Back at home in the first half, Ginger Scholes scored a goal to beat Barcelona 15-1 in the 0th minute.

Manchester United wanted to slow down the pace, Liverpool wanted to find a chance to score, Liverpool only needed one goal to equalize the score, and even the away goals were offset.

In the 19th minute, the ball was passed by Kurit, and Liu Ting's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Van der Sar.The corner kick was taken and Gerrard's header went wide.

In the next few minutes, Manchester United began to use the midfield strangle to prevent Liverpool from rising, which contained Liverpool to a certain extent.

Perhaps because of the recent discussion in Europe about whether Chelsea's defense should be punished, today's Italian referee Rossetti did not tolerate relatively large fouls. Within 10 minutes, Manchester United's Fletcher and Anderson received yellow cards. Manchester United had to consider the price of continuing to strangle like this.

It's useless for Ferguson to get angry on the sidelines. The Italians obviously don't have that much 'respect' for Ferguson who only coaches in the Premier League.

After receiving yellow cards at home one after another, the Manchester United players became a little impetuous, and Liverpool seized this opportunity.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldo's powerful long shot from outside the penalty area failed to hit the world wave again, and the ball was confiscated by Reina.

Liu Ting immediately ran towards Manchester United's half, which was an opportunity to counterattack.

Reina drove out directly, Liu Ting quickly ran to the frontcourt to catch the ball, Carrick rushed to stop Liu Ting, Liu Ting stopped the ball lightly and pulled the ball, and even stopped and passed Carrick.

Passing Carrick to the penalty area line, Ferdinand came to press, Liu Ting dunked the opponent twice in a row, and did not choose to enter the penalty area. There are still several defenders in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United. Liu Ting kicked directly on the penalty area line.

"Liu... lob shot!"

Liu Ting felt that he was in a good state today. He didn't continue to enter the penalty area and didn't wait for his teammates to come up. He chose to shoot a lob shot from the far corner.The ball jumped high, pulled out an obvious arc in the air, and flew to the upper right corner of the goal. Van der Sar had enough time to move and take off, but he missed the ball after jumping up. The ball just flew around his fingers and flew into the dead corner of the goal.

"Goooooooooooal!!! Liu! A beautiful hanging goal, a wonderful lob shot! Liverpool equalized the score and offset the threat of away goals." Alan Hansen roared.

Zhan Jun said: "Liu Ting's goal helped Liverpool equalize the score, and at the same time the total score was also equalized. Both teams have an away goal. If the score is maintained until the end of 90 minutes, the two teams will play overtime. Overtime can't change the score, so there is only a penalty shootout."

Liu Ting, who scored the goal, galloped around the field, turning a blind eye to the boos of Manchester United fans.

Hansen continued: "This is the sixth time that Liu has scored against Manchester United. He represented Bordeaux in the UEFA Super Cup against Manchester United at the beginning of this season. In that game, he beat Manchester United with a hat-trick to help Bordeaux win. After coming to Liverpool, he scored a goal in a 6-4 away game against Manchester United. .”

"Liu has become the player who scored the most goals for Manchester United in a season. Before that, Henry and Raul had scored four goals for Manchester United in one season. Raul even scored four goals for Manchester United in two Champions League games. However, they all scored on behalf of one team. Liu scored six goals for Manchester United on behalf of two teams in one season, three goals for Bordeaux, and now three goals for Liverpool."

"We can definitely say that Liu is the real Manchester United killer."

Liverpool equalized, Heynckes was so happy that he punched and celebrated with the assistant coach, while Ferguson was so angry that he smashed the water bottle. Being scored by Liverpool made Manchester United's situation worse. Liverpool's current goals are all away goals, which is definitely not good news for Manchester United.

Liverpool, who equalized the score, took advantage of the opportunity to attack again, but Manchester United's solid defense under Ferguson's arrangement did not give Liverpool a chance.

The next first half was consumed by the two teams. The two teams returned to the locker room with a 1:1 draw, but now the situation has turned in favor of Liverpool.
