On December 26, the 19th round of the Premier League began. After this round of matches, the half-time match of this season ended.

Since Wolves surpassed Manchester United for five points, they actually won the half-time championship one round ahead of schedule.

At 7:30 p.m. on the 26th, Chelsea, ranked third, defeated Birmingham 1-0 away. The defending champion Manchester United continued to recover in form and defeated Hull City 3-1 away. The gap between their points and Wolves narrowed to two points.

The teams ranked third and second both won, putting a lot of pressure on the Wolves. At 7 p.m. on the 27th, the media got the starting list of both sides. Wang Rui finally entered the roster, but failed to enter the starting list.

Anfield Stadium was crowded with people, red flags were fluttering, and the Red Army fans warmly welcomed the players on both sides. Wang Rui, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the banners, his heart moved slightly.

Wang, this can be your new home

Wang, welcome to Anfield again

If Manchester City is malicious to him, then what the city gives him is kindness.

Liverpool is a giant. Although the Premier League has been poor in recent years, its performance in the Champions League is still good.

Current coach Benitez led the team to the Champions League final in 0405. With a 0-3-sided first half, he reversed Milan strongly in the second half, equalized the score, and finally won the penalty kick and won the fifth Champions League trophy in club history.

This game has become a classic in the Champions League final and a classic example of morale boosting.

A year later, Liverpool reached the final again, and their opponent was still Milan, but they failed to perform the miracle two years ago while falling behind one to two, and unfortunately lost.

They reached the semi-finals last season. They lost to Manchester United regretfully and failed to reach the final.

For such a wealthy family with a deep history, it is very attractive to players. In addition, the Red Army captain and the team's soul Gerald showed kindness to Wang Rui more than once in front of the media. It is fake that Wang Rui is not moved.

The reporter on the sidelines was slightly shocked when he looked at the banners.

Is this an emotional card?

Shameless. All these tricks have been used

The King of Decline, the King probably won't come to Liverpool

Beep

At 7:30, with the referee's whistle, the game officially started. Liverpool, who was at home, launched an attack on Wolves under the leadership of Gerald.

In the third minute, Benayon shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and the football missed the goal.

In the fifth minute, Kenting successfully made a steal in the backcourt and quickly launched a quick counterattack. Bale quickly advanced from the left. He rushed to Liverpool's penalty area. Facing Carragher's defense, the Welsh suddenly cut inside and shot hard.

Liverpool goalkeeper Reina flew out and bravely saved the football from the bottom line

Missing the opportunity to score, Bell hugged his head in pain, and Ince, who was standing in the command area, shouted loudly and encouraged his beloved general.

Benitez walked out of the bench and stood in the command area. He shouted at the defense line on the right, and he was very dissatisfied with this defense.

After the offensive tentative attack, both sides became careful and fought fiercely in the midfield. Both teams were very good at pressing at high positions, and immediately counterattacked after losing the ball in the midfield and frontcourt. After Bale's quick counterattack, it was difficult for the Wolves to organize a decent quick counterattack.

Position battles have never been good at Wolves. On the court, Wang Rui can also use free kicks and long shots to threaten the opponent's goal. Without him, Wolves' position attack was in trouble.

In contrast, Liverpool has the organization of Gerald and Bernardon in front and Mascherano in the back. After Wolves curbed their quick counterattack, their positional offense was much better than Wolves.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Benayon made a wall-to-back two-pass one with Gerald outside the penalty area. The former shot with a strong shot, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal like a shell.

Wolves central defender Cradock stretched out his right leg and blocked the ball from the baseline, resolving Bernardon's threatening shot.

Liverpool Corner

Reina kicked the football into the Wolves' penalty area. No player in the middle line could grab the point. The football flew backwards, causing Ince, who was standing in the command area to sink suddenly.

The Wolves coach was worried about. Mascherano, who was ambushing at the back point, headed the ball without anyone being guarded, and the football flew towards the closest corner.

Oaks was unable to turn the sky back, so he could only watch the football fly over the goal line and drill into the net

The ball entered

The score became one to zero, Liverpool took the lead in breaking the deadlock

The red flags fluttered and cheered, and their team swept away the slump a week ago.

If it were the past, their cheers would definitely not be so loud, because the Wolves were the leader, and they had no defeat against the other three giants, and they were known as the Giant Killer.

Wolves players have encountered many times for the score behind. They did not panic and continued to put pressure on the Liverpool defense in the following time.

It’s a pity that Wang Rui is missing. Their offense has lost its sharpness as before. When the referee blew the whistle received in the half, he could only regretfully accept the situation of falling behind with one goal.

The Wolves' turnaround happened at the fifteenth point of the second half. Ince asked Wang Rui to play. What was unexpected was that the home fans gave Wang Rui a thunderous applause.

Wang Rui did not feel weak because of these applauses. He is a professional player, and he thinks that if he doesn't perform well, he will be sorry for the applause.

Three minutes after playing, Wang Rui launched a threatening attack. He and Peter cooperated on the right to tear open Liverpool's tight defense line. The Wolves' first forward beat Glen Johnson and shot hard in the penalty area. The football headed towards the closest corner like a sharp arrow.

Liverpool goalkeeper Renner continued his brave performance, stretching his arms out of the baseline like an eagle.

The wonderful offensive and defensive battle won thunderous applause from the audience

Benitez's face turned red and shouted loudly at his defense line that he must stare Wang Rui to death. Wang Rui was surrounded by Liverpool in the next time, and the Reds did not give him any room to shoot.

Wang Rui's appearance made the Wolves' offense no longer chaotic, strengthened the offense, reduced the pressure on the defense, and Kending also had the opportunity to intervene in the offense.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Wang Rui and Bale launched an offensive on the left. Under the opponent's tight defense, Wang Rui passed the ball across to Kenting who was in the attack.

After the Wolves' midfielder took the ball, he calculated Mascherano's defense and shot a heavy shot outside the penalty area.

Renner, who had saved the Wolves' must-scoring goal twice, failed to touch the football this time, and the football flew over ten centimeters in front of his fingertips. Just when the Wolves players thought the football was about to fly into the goal net, there was a loud bang, and the football hit the post hard and flew out of the bottom line.

Ince, who was standing in the command area, shook his head helplessly. The God of Fate was not on the Wolves' side tonight. Liverpool fans were covered in cold sweats, and they felt like they had walked in hell.

Although this goal failed to break through Liverpool's goal, it inspired the morale of Wolves, and in the following time, they had the upper hand on the scene.

With only ten minutes left, Liverpool had to shrink their defense, hoping to keep the victory until the end of the game. After an unexpected defeat to Psmouth, who was at the bottom of the points, they urgently needed a victory to boost morale.

As the game was about to end, Liverpool's victory was in sight, and the situation on the court suddenly changed. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Peter took the ball from the right and dribbled the ball horizontally. Glenn Johnson tripped him. The referee whistled and awarded Wolves a direct free kick with an excellent position.

The air at Anfield began to get tense, and Wang Rui's free kick has become a nightmare for all Premier League teams.

Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keo said loudly: There is not much time left, can the king change the fate of the Wolves?

Beep

The referee whistle sounded, Wang Rui took a deep breath and slowly ran towards the football.

Smack

The football flew up from the turf, like a rainbow that was extremely beautiful, flying past the human wall and falling rapidly

Reina, who rushed out, looked at the lightning-like football in shock. He stretched his left arm to the extreme and got closer and closer to the football, but the distance between them could never be reduced to zero.

Football flew over twenty centimeters before Reina's fingertips

In the shocked eyes of the audience, the football flew over the goal line and drilled into the net.

The ball entered

The score becomes one to one

When the game was about to end, the Wolves equalized the score with Wang Rui's wonderful free kick.

After scoring the goal, Wang Rui did not run around the field excitedly, but just slapped his teammates and walked silently to the center circle. The Wolves bench turned into a sea of ​​joy, and Liverpool fans rang out thunderous applause a few seconds later.

In the following time, neither team was able to change the situation on the field. Three minutes later, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the two sides shook hands one-to-one.

At this point, the half-time Premier League this season ended, Wolves led Manchester United by five points, and the half-time championship will not be continued.
Chapter completed!
