At this time, Benitez replaced Cisse with Baros. Although Cisse stepped in front of the goal and tied Ferdinand to a certain extent, his performance throughout the game was bleak, so he deserved to be replaced.
Although the corner kick failed to create a threat, Li Tiancheng's long shot still sounded the alarm for Manchester United.
Liverpool has the ability to compete with Manchester United. Li Tiancheng's previous attack was not a matter of luck. He is lucky this time. Carroll's nerves are in a period of development. It may not be the case next time.
Reluctantly, the attack intensity was reduced and the defense intensity was strengthened.
After that, although Li Tiancheng kept changing positions with Garcia and even ran directly to the left, he failed to continue to look for good opportunities.
But in this way, Liverpool's offense has been revived. Li Tiancheng, Garcia, and Kewell constantly change positions and attack the penalty area. In addition, Baros, who has just come on, does not hesitate to use his physical strength and attacks everywhere. Manchester United's midfielder and backfield players
Finally, I didn’t dare to continue to attack unscrupulously.
Without the support of their teammates, Ronaldinho and Giger lost their firepower. Liverpool's defensive pressure finally eased a little.
The two teams have entered a stalemate stage.
The calm scene did not last long.
Scholes suddenly fired a cold shot, Dudek had no reaction, and the football slightly missed the crossbar!
Alonso secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he thought this guy would just transition the ball like before. Who would have thought that this guy would suddenly shoot?
"Fortunately, Ginger Head is not in good condition today!" Li Tiancheng was also secretly glad. If Scholes' feet had not been too cold and he had been silent for too long, the goal would have been scored.
Um?????
Before I could finish rejoicing, I saw the referee signaling for a corner kick!
Didn't the ball fly directly over the crossbar? Did anyone touch the ball?
Seeing that Hyypia's negotiations with Boll were fruitless, Li Tiancheng tried his best to suppress his agitation, calm down, and prepare to defend. Gerrard has said many times that Premier League referees are like this. There are too many inexplicable mistakes. I think
You have to get used to these images if you want to play normally!
He glanced at Boll bitterly, this guy is actually England's Golden Whistle? Li Tiancheng can only prepare to defend, it's just a corner kick, it doesn't matter.
When defending set kicks, Li Tiancheng's task is to stay outside the penalty area and fight for the second spot.
Seeing Scholes strolling outside the penalty area, Li Tiancheng approached him directly.
Although this was a misjudgment, it did not affect the quality of this guy's shot. With the calibration just now, if he was given another chance, he might score directly.
Then, Giggs took a corner kick and went straight to the back post. Sylvester was outflanked and headed in - the ball went in?!
Li Tiancheng:......?!
The teammates all looked confused, why did they miss this guy again?
The opponents were cheering and celebrating, and Manchester United players gathered around Sylvester to celebrate the goal!
So, is all this true?
"How did this happen? What are the big brothers doing? Our defense line doesn't look like crumbs. Why do loopholes always appear inexplicably?"
Li Tiancheng put his hands on his hips and looked at the sky speechlessly. This is too... too embarrassing?
"2:1! Manchester United has regained the lead!" Dennis Law can finally cheer again
"Liverpool should really work harder on set-piece defense. They use regional marking tactics in corner kicks. There are too many gaps after the Manchester United defenders press hard!" Martin Taylor criticized Liverpool: "This is neither" marking.
"People", there is no "area"!"
Crazy Matthews kept staring at the court for a while before speaking: "It's only the 79th minute, Liverpool still has time to get back to the score!"
The live broadcast at Old Trafford was noisy, and commentators from various TV stations questioned Liverpool's ability to defend set pieces.
It was the Red Devils fans' turn to cheer. Although they couldn't enjoy it, the applause from the audience still showed their emotions.
Although I feel helpless, it is impossible to just give up!
After the restart, Li Tiancheng continued to try to connect with Garcia and Kewell, and jointly rushed a few more times to equalize the score as soon as possible.
As soon as he caught the ball and tried to turn around, he felt Qiu Yi being pulled. He was caught off guard and fell instantly!
Looking up, Boll was warning O'Shea. It seemed that this guy was the culprit.
This happened very often on the court, and Li Tiancheng didn't take it to heart. However, he soon realized that something was wrong. It was not only him, but also Garcia and the others. As soon as they got the ball, they were knocked down directly, regardless of whether there was a threat at the time.
Suddenly, whistles sounded and the game became fragmented!
They do it on purpose.
Manchester United adopted a midfield strangulation tactic, directly interrupting the game through some minor fouls, eliminating Liverpool's possible attack.
There is not much time left in the game, so this tactic is undoubtedly very effective.
This kind of small action is unlikely to get a yellow card directly. It eliminates the threat and consumes time, so why not do it?
It's just that Liverpool is sitting on the wax!
How can we attack?
We need to step up our movement and avoid them.
Li Tiancheng didn't stop for a moment, wandering around.
Carragher finally showed his strength today, intercepting Ruud van Nistelrooy's ball and passing it directly to Alonso.
Alonso made a long pass and Li Tiancheng made a move. The two were just right. Li Tiancheng ran sideways into the gap and the football flew in front of him.
He raised his foot to stop the ball and went straight into the penalty area.
As long as they pass Keane, they are in a dangerous area. They don't dare to foul at will. Behind Keane is Ferdinand, Garcia and the others now...
Dribbling the ball forward quickly, turning his head around, thinking non-stop, Li Tiancheng suddenly found a bright color in front of him!
grass!
Li Tiancheng didn't care about anything, he jumped directly and tried his best to swing his calves backward...
With a "click" sound, accompanied by severe pain in his heart, Li Tiancheng's eyesight turned black, and he fell heavily on the turf. He curled up, hugged his calf, and opened his mouth without making a sound. After a while, he opened his mouth from between his teeth.
There was a moaning sound...
This scene made Ferguson freeze immediately. He stopped chewing gum and looked at the field like a sculpture.
Benitez was furious and waved his arms to signal the team doctor to come in quickly.
"SHIT! This is murder!" Emlyn Hughes yelled: "Keane, this son of a bitch, the FA should ban him for life!"
"What is this?! An unnecessary tackle. Lee is still some distance away from the shooting range, and Manchester United's defense is still intact. There is no need to be so violent, and he actually raised his foot to reveal his spikes. This is really bad.
Oh, what, does he hate teenagers? He vented his anger on Lee when he had a conflict with a child while walking his dog?" Martin Taylor couldn't understand the necessity of Keane's action.
Hughes added viciously: "The kid's accusation should be true. Keane really hit him with a whip while walking the dog. Look at him like this. He is capable of doing such a thing!"
Martin Taylor was noncommittal: "Liverpool people surrounded Keane, oh, Carragher directly grabbed Keane's neck, and Manchester United players also stepped forward to protect Keane, and the two teams directly clashed..."
Dennis Law kept shaking his head: "Maybe, I mean maybe, Clough passed away today. We all know that Keane, as his proud disciple, has always had a deep affection for him...".
Hughes interrupted Law directly: "We all know that he emerged from Clough's Nottingham Forest, but do you mean that Keane intends to destroy a football genius to comfort the soul of the legendary football coach?"
