Chapter 173
In a bar in Liverpool, the hearts of the fans are very anxious. There is only one word to describe the once brilliant Liverpool in the Premier League era, and that is miserable.

In the past 10 years, the Premier League has only belonged to two teams-Manchester United and Arsenal, and the only thing left for Liverpool is the distant lead of the Champions League, but the last time Liverpool won the Champions League was also in 1984.

So it's hard for even the Liverpool people to be proud of this. They can't always make Xiang Keli proud.

On the pitch, Manchester United recovered across the board, and Scholes was both the front midfielder and the midfielder, forming a midfield interception barrier with O'Shea.

It has to be said that Manchester United under Ferguson is indeed an iron army, with a very balanced offense and defense. Although Liverpool is one person ahead, it is really not obvious on the scene.

*****
In Liverpool, Lorinda and Sosa were watching the game at their home, and even a layman like Lorinda could tell that Li Qiao was restrained.

"Dad, that long hair is amazing."

"His name is Heinz, and he is Argentinian."

Sousa is more professional in watching the game. Manchester United's defense against Liverpool's two sides is different. Kewell's side is to restrict passes, while Li Qiao's side is completely locked.

It seems that Ferguson had studied Liverpool's style of play before the game, and knew that Li Qiao was more active here.

Benitez is known as a tactical master. He understands that there are two types of football tactics in general, one is penetration in the middle, and the other is wing.

Now the central lane is obviously impossible. Manchester United has hoarded a lot of people in the midfield, and even Ruud van Nistelrooy is back, so it is very important to open the wing. It is a pity...

"Unlock Li Qiao, or Kewell, then our offense will have a chance."

"As long as the opponent's two flanks are restricted, the opponent will have no chance." Ferguson laughed in his heart.

So how do you unlock the sidewalk?
The easiest way is to deploy a strong full-back, and Benitez has such an option in his hands, and that is Riise.

The old fans are very impressed with Riise, not only his fiery red hair, but more importantly, his explosive shot and quick assault on the side.

So is Riser on the left or the right?

Benitez thought about it, and put it on Li Qiao's side. At this time, Benitez already had his own preference for Li Qiao.

And soon, before Benitez made a substitution, something happened to Liverpool on the field, and Kewell suddenly sat on the ground.

In the previous life, Li Qiao was most impressed by the few football glass people, one is Irving, Ronaldinho, and the other is Kewell. Basically, as long as it is a key game, Kewell is 100% off.

The team doctor gestured to Benitez after a simple diagnosis, but he had no choice but to replace Garcia first, and then replace Riise, which wasted a substitution quota.

The tactics Benitez explained to Riise were very clear. He was assisting Li Qiao's attack on the right flank.

Riise briefly exchanged a few words with Li Qiao after he entered the field, and briefly explained the tactics. This is not difficult to understand, and Li Qiao readily accepted it.

As the game continued, Li Qiao still took the ball from the wing. Heinz fought and retreated, never rushing. He was like a plaster on Li Qiao's body, and he couldn't get rid of it.

At this moment, Heinz realized something was different, a red streak flashed past, and Riise puffed up his chest, rushing forward as if he was running a [-]-meter race.

"This……"

Heinz already instinctively knew what Riise was going to do. Sure enough, Li Qiao picked the pass, Riise seemed to be in no one's land, and Manchester United's defense immediately sounded the alarm.

Just after playing, Riise's mind was very excited, and he was still in a state of bloodshot. He swung a curved ball into the penalty area, Cisse smashed hard, and the top of the ball was missed, but this was Liverpool's first effective attack in the second half, that is to say, it was an attack created by Liverpool itself.

Ferguson admired it very much. Benitez's move can be regarded as making use of Liverpool's right flank, so what should Ferguson do?
One way is to let Giggs come back to help defend, and the other way is to use violence to control violence. Manchester United is also attacking on this wing, and it will ultimately depend on who can kill whom.

Some say offense is the best defense, some say defense is the best offense, it's a personal choice.

Ferguson thought about it and finally chose to attack. He asked Giggs and Heinz to attack on the left.

This is of course very dangerous, and it is also possible that his side was blown up. Benitez was also surprised when he saw the opponent's choice. As expected of Manchester United and Ferguson, the choice was indeed unexpected.

At this time, Li Qiao patted Riise, "Let's run a little longer, go back together in defense, and go up together in offense."

Riise smiled and nodded. At this time, being young is an advantage. The two are much younger than Giggs and Heinz.

The later results also confirmed this point. After both sides charged three or four times, Li Qiao's side was still alive and well, but Heinz couldn't take it anymore.

Ferguson went down the steps and came off the bench. He couldn't sit still, because he had already seen the situation on the court at this time.

"Alan, come here."

Smith ran over, and Ferguson pointed to Giggs, "I ask you to play like this."

Ferguson is going to add two people on the wing, hoping to block Liverpool's offense and stop using violence to control violence, which is also a bus.

Smith, Fletcher, O'Shea, Carrick, these people are all engineers under Ferguson, working hard and destroying. In fact, Keane is also. Ferguson likes this kind of player very much, it is as easy to use as glue.

After Smith was placed on the wing, the restrictions on Liverpool were immediately effective. Riise was similar to Smith in terms of physical confrontation, that is to say, he was dropped by the pair.

Benitez couldn't sit still anymore, he and Ferguson seemed to be fighting, but this opponent was obviously very powerful, and it was difficult to kill with one blow.

At this moment, the situation on the court changed suddenly. When there were 4 people piled up on the right side, someone suddenly stepped into the side. Li Qiao saw that it was Gerrard.

It turned out that Gerrard had already understood the situation of the game at this time, so he came up with the most stupid way, which was to add another player on the wing.

As soon as Gerrard ran, Li Qiao immediately passed the ball up, Gerrard took a few steps, saw the timing, and curved the ball into the penalty area.

The ball was given to Baros at the back point, and Cisse at the front point was a cover, but the Frenchman attracted most of the defense.

After the ball leaked, Baros headed the ball, just like he did in the Czech national team, and the fans saw the ball being smashed into Manchester United's goal.

Old Trafford was stunned.
