Chapter 309: Captain VS Captain
"China Dong! Goal in the fifth game in a row! He's really fantastic. Lineker's view of Dong Fangzhuo is obviously very different from that of Martin Taylor.
'When Hyypia and Carragher were marking him at the same time, he couldn't get rid of it, he had to catch the ball and work with his team-mates, but when Hyypia and Carragher were alone, it was a different result. China Dong can fight with one of them. ”
"This ball, Carragher defends China Dong alone, and he is obviously powerless."
'Eriksen has certainly been struggling lately, with striker Wayne Rooney causing trouble and centre-back Carragher being unreliable defensively. The players of the England team are more or less drawn. If Carragher had realized that his teammates were not around to protect him, he should have taken measures against Dong in advance, but he didn't! ”
'Now, Liverpool are behind at home, the last time they were behind they were they lost the FA Cup, this time they are down, will they lose league points?'
"Alas...... Is the Chinese Dong too strong, or is Carragher too weak? Martin Taylor sighed, he has always been not very optimistic about Dong Fangzhuo. A good defender should be able to deal with a striker on his own, and Carragher has a lot to do. ”
"Well, why did he get another chance? Didn't you lose enough last season? What the hell was Carragher thinking? The Liverpool fans in the stands were puzzled and disappointed with Carragher.
What was Carragher thinking? Only he himself will know if he himself answers. Carragher himself was even more depressed. Just now, Dong Fangzhuo lost his temper with Hyypia, but Rooney suddenly inserted from the left side to the front point and took Hyypia away, and the picture changed instantly.
He clearly remembered that when Dong Fangzhuo was starting, he was also starting, but when the ball flew over, Dong Fangzhuo's position changed, and Dong Fangzhuo, who was originally behind him, suddenly jumped in front of him, and jumped up from the stuck position, it can be said that he almost had zero defense against Dong Fangzhuo......
Damn!
In this way, Dong Fangzhuo scored.
It's so unreasonable, I just made a slight mistake......
A little bit of inattention, Dong got the opportunity to shoot.
Carragher quickly self-examined in his mind and came to a conclusion, comforting himself......
Defenders are like that, even if you play 100 times and you're good, but if you make even one mistake and the striker takes a chance, your performance is a piece of.
Apparently now Carragher is.
Because he didn't keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo, then the team fell behind.
Carragher glanced at the young captain in front of him, where Steven Gerrard was squinting at the United players celebrating with his hands on his hips, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face.
In the dressing room before the game, Gerrard, as the captain, also deliberately encouraged everyone, thinking that as long as Dong Fangzhuo is controlled, Manchester United's attack will be much inferior, but now, it can't be controlled......
The Liverpool players had to pick up their mood and start all over again. They certainly can't afford to lose at home to Manchester United and are left with only one way to attack.
In the 41st minute, Alonso made a long cross into the middle, and another Liverpool striker, Pongele, who had been lurking for nearly 40 minutes, finally made a contribution, his header was crossed back, and Luis Garcia who followed up shot at goal, but the ball hit Ferdinand, and Liverpool wasted a golden counter-attack opportunity.
The corner flag was flown in and Keane's header cleared and Gerrard's low left-footed shot from 25 yards on the right was parried by Van der Sar.
'It's a pity, if Gerrard had used his right foot, maybe he would have had the ball.'
United quickly launched a counter-attack, Van der Sar threw the ball directly to Scholes, Scholes ran straight to the left, Rooney took the ball and then also went straight through, Park Ji-sung burst into the left side of the box to face Reina......
A second later,
"Alas......"
"Park ......"
"Park's shot disappointed everyone again, this time he couldn't choose to pass, and China Dong was caught in the middle, he could only choose to shoot."
"It seems that shooting is a great pain for Park......"
That was the end of the half, and the two sides did not make any adjustments in the second half. Ferguson was pleased with his team's performance in the first half. Although Benitez was not satisfied, he did not make substitutions for the time being.
At the start of the second half, United recovered a little by about ten metres, while Liverpool continued to press the attack.
But the first to be tested was Liverpool, in the 50th minute, Liverpool, who had been attacking for five minutes in the front, was suddenly tackled by Park Ji-sung, and then Park Ji-sung handed the ball to Rooney. Wayne Rooney counter-attacked quickly with the ball, and Gerrard desperately chased back to make a beautiful tackle in front of the penalty area.
Rooney covered his face, annoyed. It was a great opportunity for him, but it was ruined by his team-mates in the national team.
He needed to score, but it was a bit far from him.
'Steven Gerrard was very good in attack and defence, but he alone was not enough, Alonso was okay, but the others were much more underwhelming.
In the 52nd minute, Gerrard's low shot from the middle was slightly wide. While the rest of his team-mates were silent, he was still trying to score himself.
The whole first ten minutes were full of Gerrard running, and as Liverpool's captain, he did enough to see him running tirelessly in the front, middle and back.
He even gave Liverpool fans the illusion that Liverpool was left with Steven Gerrard fighting!
Gerald's running was a little crazy.
In the 55th minute, Gerrard broke the ball at the feet of former national team team-mate Paul Scholes, then quickly handed the ball to Alonso, who continued to rush forward, Alonso quickly transferred the ball to the feet of Reese, who looked up and found that Gerrard had rushed to the front of the Manchester United penalty area.
Pongler and Crouch kept Vidic and Ferdinand at bay, with Keane alone at his side.
A collision between captain and captain!
Steven Gerrard rushed into United's penalty area and jumped bravely, while Keane followed in embarrassment.
Young VS Old,
Captain VS Captain,
A collision between one generation and two generations.
Bang –
Gerrard's iron head smashes on the ball, and Keane is defeated!
Whew-
The ball flew into the top left corner.
Gerard raised his arms and kissed with one hand......
His name resounded throughout the audience!
“goooooal!”
“goooooooooooooooooal!”
"Steven Gerald."
"Great Liverpool captain."
"Gerard who never gives up."
"He defended Liverpool's glory."
Flat!
Steven Gerrard scored in the most domineering way and he was the most important player at Anfield, he was the king here.
On the pitch at this time, Liverpool can be without any player, but Gerrard must not be missing!
"Roy may be really old and not fit to start. This ball, he has a lot of responsibility. I've never seen him so down. Lineker sighed, "Well, if he had been a few years younger, he would never have allowed Gerrard to score with a hammer straight over his head." ”
"The years are urging people to grow old...... You have to serve. Isn't it time for the Lord to think about Fletcher? This kid has been getting more and more stable lately, and he comes up, maybe it's better than Keane, right? Otherwise, replace Giggs and let Park come back to take his place? ”
Soon, Ferguson responded.
Keane down, Fletcher on!
Lineker was half right.
Before leaving the game, Keane's face was very ugly, but he still put the captain's armband on Dong Fangzhuo's left arm and handed over the captain's power.
"Heh, the youngest captain belongs to Dong again."
Soon, Dong Fangzhuo confronted Gerrard head-on.
Rio Ferdinand plays a long ball from the back and the ball falls to Liverpool's back.
Dong Fangzhuo took Hyypia and Carragher to rush back, and Gerrard quickly retreated in front, not looking at the back at all.
Dong Fangzhuo jumped directly behind!
Po –
Gerald was hit by Dong Fangzhuo from behind! Finally, he lay on the turf.
Beep
Dong Fangzhuo fouled......
But Carragher and Hyypia behind him were dumbfounded, and the two of them glanced at each other and quickly crouched down in the direction of the captain.
"The captain and the captain work with each other, China Dong is better, Steve won't be unable to get up, right?" Martin Taylor exclaimed.
"This is too ruthless, Dong doesn't have to do this."
"Fack!"
"This guy is so savage, why don't he play rugby......"
