Chapter 1348
Unable to get through on the right, Manchester United began to play in the middle again, looking for Rooney and Forlan.
But this road is more difficult. Liverpool's heavy troops are placed in the middle. After Hazard became the captain, he returned to the defense more actively. Both Rooney and Rooney are lost in Liverpool's iron walls.
What made Manchester United even more desperate was Liverpool's counterattack.
The starting point of Liverpool's counterattack was Eden Hazard. This guy was as strong as a yak, but he was as fast as lightning. It was difficult for him to get the ball without siege or foul.
Today, Hazard played very smartly, like an old ball that has been working hard on the court for ten years. It doesn't stick to the ball at all. front assault.
The fulcrum of Liverpool's counterattack was Lewandowski and James Rodriguez.
James Rodriguez is as strong as Hazard, can hold the ball and protect the ball, and he is very fast.
Lewandowski has excellent running positions and excellent shooting skills. His shots are very threatening within 25 meters, and it is difficult for Manchester United to mark him.
It is a headache to have these three people counterattack, not to mention Rodriguez who is fast and skilled.
Although Rodriguez is a bit independent, he can still pass the ball after he has had enough breakthroughs, and no one dares to let him go.
Manchester United's frontcourt players could not penetrate Liverpool's defense, and the backcourt players did not dare to assist unscrupulously. In the remaining 20 minutes of the first half, they did nothing, not as many shots as Liverpool.
After the intermission, Manchester United made substitution adjustments. Fellaini stepped off and striker Pangler stepped on. At this moment, Manchester United had three strikers in front of them, and only Raul Garcia was left as a defensive player in the midfield.
However, the tactics of stacking forwards did not work for Liverpool. Resino wanted Pangler to play as a crap stick and disrupt Liverpool's defense. Crash, this substitution can be said to have no effect at all.
At 65 minutes, Manchester United made another substitution, Maniche came on, replaced Raul Garcia, and continued to strengthen the attack.
However, Resino, who was born as a goalkeeper, is really not good at offense. His substitutions were a mess and had no effect on the situation on the field.
In the 70th minute of the game, Rooney used his personal ability to get a chance.
The Argentine golden boy made a clever breakthrough in the middle under the double-teaming of the two, and then played a pass and cut cooperation with Forlan and then rushed into the penalty area. However, Rooney was stabbed first by Sapruna with his long legs when he shot. able to touch the ball.
Then Liverpool stepped up their defense against Rooney, and Rooney could no longer find a chance to break through.
In desperation, Manchester United could only shoot long shots outside Liverpool's penalty area, trying to attract Liverpool's defense.
Long-range shots are dependent on the sky. Manchester United did not play high-quality shots in the front, and Liverpool would have no chance if they interfered.
Manchester United tried their best in the first 75 minutes, but they still couldn't do anything about Liverpool's defense.
Resino didn't give up, he finally took a risk, replaced central defender Pablo, replaced by forward Camacho, and continued to strengthen the attack.
Manchester United has been attacking and attacking in various ways, as if they are conducting an offensive and defensive drill. They are eager to score goals, but they forget that the opponent has a strong counterattack ability, just like a tiger hiding its minions. Can give them a fatal blow.
In the 78th minute of the game, the opportunity came.
Rooney broke through with the ball and was double-teamed by Liverpool. The red-eyed Rooney seemed to be possessed by his father-in-law Maradona. He even pulled the buckle and stumbled through the defense of Fernando and Rolando. The defense was very fast. After seeing Rooney breaking through the two, his center of gravity was unstable. One went up and shoveled the ball to Hazard.
Manchester United only focused on attacking and forgot to mark Hazard. Hazard caught the ball and turned around, advancing at high speed.
Only then did Manchester United feel the danger, and several players came to surround Hazard.
The center was blocked, Hazard immediately took the ball and ran to the side, and the Manchester United players followed to block the side.
Hazard used his speed to mess up Manchester United's defense. After reaching the wing, Hazard made a sudden stop and turned around, dunking Maniche who was pounced, and found the other side with a long pass across the half. James Rodriguez.
"Beautiful long pass! Xiaodong can still keep calm at this time, he really looks like a general." Zhang Lu praised.
Liu Jiandao: "Indeed, I thought he was going to kill the bottom line with him."
There was applause and cheers from the stands, and the fans started chanting, "One more! One more!"
At this moment, Manchester United's defense has been crooked by Eden Hazard. When James Rodriguez stopped the ball, most of the field was blank, and he could run a horse.
Thank God!The captain finally saw me.James Rodriguez unloaded the ball and slammed forward into the United penalty area.
In the 79th minute of the game, if James Rodriguez scored this goal, it would be completely garbage time later.
The Manchester United players ran back desperately, trying to destroy James Rodriguez's one-shot.
However, although James Rodriguez is very strong, his speed is not slow at all. He rushed to the front of the penalty area at high speed. Facing the attacking goalkeeper De Gea, James Rodriguez seemed very relaxed. Dial, push the arch of the foot, and send the ball into the empty goal behind De Gea.
3:0 James Rodriguez cheered and ran towards Hazard after scoring a goal, throwing Hazard on the turf.
…………
But at this moment, a figure jumped high in the penalty area, and a swift swallow turned over in the air, raising its right foot high, like a big sword from top to bottom slashing at the football.
"Golden hook upside down!" Carragher roared.
"Lewandowski!" Gary Neville said with horror in his voice.
There was no accident. De Gea had already fallen on the turf after saving Gerrard's long shot. After he found out that Lewandowski had actually made an upside-down golden hook, he had no time to make a second save. I can only watch the football fly into the goal.
Although Manchester United's central defenders jumped high, they had no choice. The opponent's feet were long, and they didn't dare to use their hammer skills to fight the opponent's diamond feet. They could only watch Lewandowski hang the golden hook upside down. shoot.
With a "whoosh", the football turned into a white lightning and flew into the goal.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After the ball was scored, the others reacted.
