Chapter 63: A clean turn and volley(1/2)
Chapter 63: Turning around and volleying cleanly (Sixth update)
"Look at this ball - the hero!!! The ball is in!!"
When Gerald passed through Manchester United's defense line and Suarez received the ball behind the defense line and was not offside, the cheers in the stands were already resounding. In the flash of lightning, Chen Yingxiong knocked the football into the goal, and the cheers went up to the next level.
"Hero -!!!" The entire Anfield Stadium cheered this name.
Amid the huge cheers, Chen Yingxiong ran to Suarez who passed the ball to him, and then hugged him tightly.
The other teammates flocked to surround the two of them.
Chen Yingxiong's goal really inspired the players of the team.
Now they only need one goal to take the lead!
After finally breaking free from the siege of his teammates, Chen Yingxiong, who ended the celebration, ran to his half, but he deliberately went around a curve, ran to the front of the coach's seat, and then waved his fist at head coach Martin O'Neal.
Of course Martin O'Neal understood that meaning.
He smiled.
This Liverpool team is the Liverpool he wants to see in the second half.
It does not mean that when Liverpool is strong, they must always lead others, not be scored by others, and not be led by others. This is not a criterion for measuring whether a team is strong.
The real standard for whether a team is a strong team is their reaction when they face adversity. Weak teams often give up on themselves, while strong on the outside and cowardly on the inside are panicked. Only truly strong teams will respond correctly when they encounter difficulties.
Liverpool in the first half was a bit like a team that looked very strong and actually had embroidered pillows. Only in the second half, these more than ten minutes of the game allowed him to see a truly strong team.
Liverpool once had such momentum, but after all, it had been decaying for more than 20 years. The momentum and spirits were less and less as time passed, like sand blown away by the wind.
It will take time to regain its strength and restore Liverpool’s past glory.

When Ferguson saw Chen Yingxiong score, his heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, the pacemaker he had implanted in his heart before played an important role and led his heart to beat again.
So the heart stops beating for less than a second, almost negligible. But this short palpitations were clearly conveyed to Ferguson.
When the game started again, Liverpool's offensive continued to be like a frenzy, while Manchester United could only shrink into its 30-meter area to defend the dead.
As the Premier League overlord, when did Ferguson's Manchester United have been so embarrassed?
Looking at the situation on the field, Ferguson felt that his heart, which had almost stopped beating just now, was now beating very fast, very fast.
He was a little dazed - could he return to the FA Cup quarterfinals in the 1990-91 season?
It's a coincidence that he doesn't blame him for having such an idea, because the opponents in front of him are all wearing red jerseys... they are all at other people's home courts.
The situation is so similar.
If you can defeat your opponent, Manchester United's country can continue. But if you lose... no!
wrong!
Ferguson shook his head and woke up from his hallucination.
Twenty-three years ago, I still needed to prove my abilities to others to avoid being fired. But now I no longer need to prove anything like anyone else. He can leave at any time, and he believes that no matter how bad the previous ending was, as long as he leaves, those critics of him will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming nostalgia.
Now he is not as unrest as he was twenty-three years ago.
Ferguson has always been doing things right with others in his coaching career, but this time, it was not someone else who was doing things right with him, but his obsession with him that he couldn't let go and was himself.
This is probably the strongest opponent he has ever been in coaching career and the most difficult battle.
Ferguson now has two choices: a, admit failure here, and then relax and give his heart a comfortable space so that it will not work on pacemakers. b, put pressure on himself, put pressure on his heart, grit his teeth and continue to fight against himself, and continue to fight against fate, break through the vast sky, and fail to break through the jade and stones.
He chose b and had little hesitation. This is also the place of his beliefs and principles.
Alex Ferguson never admits defeat.
Just like Manchester United.

Ferguson began to adjust and replaced Modric who performed quite well in this game. This substitution was not because Modric did not perform well, but because of pure tactical needs. When Manchester United was leading, Modric could give full play to his ability to control the ball and help Manchester United control the football, which could to a certain extent curb Liverpool's tide offensive.
But when the team has been equalized and needs to play a tough battle, Modric is not suitable. What Ferguson needs is a midfielder who can run actively in the midfield, complete the sweeping defense tasks, and also help the team turn from defense to offense.
Carrick is a great choice.
When Modric came out, Ferguson comforted him, whispered in his ear, telling him that Modric was not replaced by him because he was not dissatisfied with Modric's performance, but he highly praised Modric's performance.
※ ※ ※
Ferguson is adjusting, and O'Neal is also adjusting.
In the 70th minute, he replaced Suarez with Gotze.
It is not because Suarez does not perform well, but because in this situation, Gotze's role is greater than Suarez, because he can pass a threatening pass and directly threaten Manchester United's defense line.
Suarez is still a little worse in this regard.
After Gotze comes on the court, he will take on the heavy responsibility of organizing offense in the frontcourt. Gerald retreats to complete the task of connecting from defense to offense.

The head coaches of both sides fought wits on the sidelines, and the players on the field were also fighting wits and courage.
Rooney, wearing the captain's armband, pulled back from the forward line and frequently participated in the defense. Only "Little Pea" Fernandez was at the front to ensure that if Manchester United counterattacked, there was someone in the frontcourt to support him.
Shinji Kagawa has a relatively flexible position. His running ability and dribbling are excellent, and he is most suitable for disrupting Liverpool's defense when counterattacking.
But the problem now is... Manchester United has few opportunities to counterattack.
After Liverpool got on Gotze, Gerrard retreated and formed a midfield iron gate with Inler. Manchester United's counterattack was basically the end point. Needless to say, Inler's defensive ability is, Gerrard is also an experienced person.
The most important thing is that Liverpool has a Chen Yingxiong who can ensure that the team holds the ball in the frontcourt, and Liverpool's defense will not face the opponent's counterattack that suddenly concedes the ball.
In fact, Ferguson's analysis before the game was correct. Judging from the player abilities of each position, Manchester United is no less than Liverpool.
He only miscalculated one person. That was Chen Yingxiong.
Chen Yingxiong's ability is probably much stronger than Manchester United's number one star Rooney.
Moreover, Chen Yingxiong's nerve index is very high. His performance is even higher than Rooney. If he gets too excited and performs very long, he doesn't know how many times it will be...
You should know that he can defeat Barcelona and Real Madrid players alone. In recent years, Rooney's momentum is no longer as good as before. This may be related to his becoming the captain, increasing sense of responsibility, and taking on too many defensive tasks?

Liverpool continued to bombard, while Manchester United slapped their cold shots to fight back.
The competition between the two strong men is so nervous that it makes people breathless.
The Manchester United fans in the stands were completely silent. They were suppressed by Liverpool fans so much that they could not make any noise. In addition, Manchester United's current performance is not as good as the first half, which actually makes them much weaker.
However, Liverpool fans became more excited after the equalization of the score.
All kinds of singing are singing the earth.
With this momentum, Liverpool's offensive is getting stronger and stronger.

In the 77th minute, Martin O'Neal's substitution was effective.
After getting the ball in the midfield, Gotze suddenly dribbled the ball on the wing, making the illusion that he wanted to break through the wing, and Fletcher, who deceived him, followed him to the wing.
At the same time, Sanchez switched to the ribs and was temporarily unmarked.
Gotze passed the ball decisively and made a straight pass!
The football got in from the ribs of Manchester United's defense line. Sanchez quickly stepped forward and then made a shot, but shook his ankle and made a cross from an inverted triangle!
There was actually something wrong with the cooperation between the two. Chen Yingxiong tried his best to move forward, but unexpectedly, Sanchez passed an inverted triangle!
Everyone thought Chen Yingxiong would miss this ball.
Even Liverpool's commentator Harry Levi shouted in annoyance: "Sanchez's cross...Oh!"
Smalling was even more happy. He simply reached out and grabbed Chen Yingxiong's clothes. Anyway, this kid could not fall down in the penalty area and cheated on the penalty kick. He didn't want to be said to be faked!
Now everyone knows that Chen Yingxiong never pretends to fall, and Chen Yingxiong is proud of it. However, if he bears such a burden and earns a reputation, he will naturally have to pay some price.
Smalling thinks that Chen Yingxiong is not really not fake, but just wants to make a name for himself. So he particularly looks down on Chen Yingxiong's approach. He declares that he never fakes his fall, where does other players be placed?
Since you don’t pretend to fall, then you can just wait to miss this goal!
Huh?
Smalling suddenly felt something was wrong. His right hand seemed to be pulled forward by something...
He had no time to consider where this power came from and suddenly retracted it!
A sting!
His hand suddenly lightened, and he looked closely - he pulled Chen Yingxiong's jersey and was left with a rag in his hand...
Chen Yingxiong wore a sack-like jersey and completed the escape. He quickly came back to his senses and stretched his legs to hook the football. However, the center of gravity was also lost, and more importantly, he lost the opportunity to shoot at the first time!
Sanchez's pass was originally intended to attack him, but now it is meaningless.
But can you give up shooting?
To be continued...
