Chapter 416: Pick a day to rematch
"Damn, it's flat again, it's a nightmare."
"Fack, you can't win a good game."
"I'm fed up."
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal put the two sides back on the same page, and Liverpool fans began to become very anxious.
In the past two seasons, the two teams have met too many times in the cup competition, just like Liverpool and Chelsea have met in the Champions Cup, and it is uncomfortable not to do a few shots in a year.
But just as Chelsea have always been better than Liverpool, Liverpool have always been done by Manchester United, there is always a team that is on the back foot, and Liverpool are clearly restrained by Manchester United.
The draw in the second half seemed to be aware of some sad ending.
Anfield can't afford to lose, at least not against Manchester United.
Luis Garcia, who came up in the second half, was fit, and he made his way through United's midfield down the middle, slick past a reckless Smith, slotted into the United's penalty area, and then passed the ball to the Malian Sissoko, whose shot from 10 yards out on the right side of the box slipped wide.
Sissoko didn't look like he could shoot at all, and he couldn't even score from such a close distance.
βhat?β
"It's harder to kick this ball out than it is to kick it in, right?"
"I'm going up and kicking better than him!"
Liverpool fans are not happy again.
Manchester United were lucky to escape, but after the ball came out, Carrick made another long pass to Dong Fangzhuo in the front, but the intention was too obvious, Finnan judged it in advance and gave the ball to Gerrard.
Gerrard dribbled to face Barsley, slashed the outside of his left foot, and the whole person took off to dodge Barsley's reckless steal, and Barsley was left behind, but Smith pounced quickly to make up for the defense and shoveled the ball at his feet off the line.
In front of Basley, Smith is his big brother.
He cast a grateful look at Smith with some shame.
Gerrard took a quick corner, the ball spun to the far post, Richardson couldn't judge the landing of the ball in the retreat, Colwill waited at the back post and volleyed directly with his left foot!
Vidic's wide body turned into a wall of flesh and blocked Colwill's shot.
Whewβ
Liverpool fans couldn't believe that such a ball could be saved by a Manchester United defender.
Liverpool's goal is too unlucky!
The ball flew high and did not leave the penalty area of Manchester United, Crouch jumped up and dived bravely, smashing the ball with all his strength, but he didn't expect the opposite Pique to also rise to the ground and pop his head fiercely.
Airplanes!
Forehead to forehead, Mars hits Earth!
The left eyebrow bones of the two men collided at the same time.
At that moment, both Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans instantly got goosebumps.
The collision was just too ferocious.
When the two of them fell, Crouch and Pique's left eye bleeds from each bone at the same time, and they immediately bled profusely! The referee had to temporarily suspend the game, and the two of them went off the field to receive treatment.
Both sides are temporarily 10 to 10.
Next, in order to stop Liverpool's attack, Basley brought down Colwill on the wing and received a yellow card.
Two minutes later, Luis Garcia was brought down by Nemanja Vidic after a series of breakthroughs into the box from outside the United penalty area, who also received a yellow card.
Steven Gerrard stood in front of the ball and took the set-piece, only to have his powerful volley fly straight into the stands.
The Liverpool captain was in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat, he shook his head and quickly retreated, he didn't want to be hit by Manchester United with a quick counterattack.
Rafael Benitez and Alex Ferguson both walked around the sidelines, with both sides struggling to stand the other goal, and with little time left in the game, it would have been better to settle the battle in the ninety minutes than to have a special replay, which would be the worst possible outcome for both teams.
Waiting for the opponent to make a mistake seems too far away, and the attack is still the only way out.
Liverpool were a little hesitant, but Manchester United were resolute!
In the 79th minute, Basley rushed to the front to receive Smith's pass, and was just about to pass the ball out, but Colwill immediately pulled down Basley in the chase, and Colwill was also yellow carded.
Smith slyly served the ball quickly, and the ball came to Carrick's feet, and Carrick immediately launched a long pass!
Carrick has an almost obsessive penchant for long passes.
The quality of this long ball was quite high, the ball just fell into the Liverpool penalty area, and the flight was not weak, Ronaldo was high in front of the box, although Hamann behind him pushed him, Gerrard also jumped next to him, but he still touched the ball with excellent bounce.
Header ferry!
Dong Fangzhuo rushed into the big penalty area quickly, Carragher and Hyypia blocked him, but Rooney appeared beside him by surprise, suddenly jumped with his back and shot with a barb!
Smack-
Carragher lifted his leg and luckily cushioned the ball, which flew off the baseline.
It's Liverpool's turn to be a little overwhelmed!
Giggs sent a corner kick quickly on the left side, but the strength was not well controlled, and he flew directly out of Liverpool's penalty area, but Ronaldo still gritted his teeth and rushed to the outside of the right side of the penalty area, completing a sideways barb like Rooney just now!
The ball was hooked back by him! Flew into Liverpool's big penalty area again.
Smith's shot from a chest stop was parried by Finnan and Giggs' volley from 25 yards from 25 yards flew just over the crossbar.
After failing to knock on Reina's door with a few shots, the noisy Liverpool penalty area has now become the most feared place for Liverpool fans, but there is no way for Liverpool players to keep the ball away from the box. Benitez quickly made a change, replacing Colwill with Kronkeramp to strengthen the defense.
Liverpool fans on the sidelines deliberately threw away the ball to delay the time, and fans threw coins and pies at Cristiano Ronaldo on the right. But it doesn't help.
In the 84th minute, Sissoko faced Ronaldo, who was dazzled by his bicycle in front of the penalty area, and finally stretched out his foot, and Ronaldo created a set-piece opportunity for himself in front of the big penalty area.
Free kick from 25 yards on the right.
Ronaldo's direct shot hit the wall, just bounced to the left, and Richardson shot with his left foot!
Reyna confiscated the ball again!
A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo cut inside in the middle and fired another left-footed shot that Reina pressed to his chest again.
Benitez had to continue to make substitutions, with Cisse coming on for Crouch.
The game eventually went to stoppage time......
Red Army captain Gerrard took the ball in the backfield and passed straight to Garcia, and he continued to run more than 30 meters to get the ball back, facing Smith who pounced frantically, Gerrard still calmly chose to shoot from a distance!
Bang β
The moment he shot the goal, Smith didn't make it to him, but suddenly stumbled, fell to the turf, and let out a scream!
Yes!
The sound resounded in the sky.
As the ball flew into the stands, Smith was moaning on the turf.
Even Dong Fangzhuo in the distance instantly got goosebumps.
Smith must have stepped on an empty foot and twisted his ankle!
Judging by his years of experience......
Smith was eventually replaced by Rossi.
In the last minute, Vidic made a long pass from the backfield, Dong Fangzhuo jumped up and pushed Carragher to the ground, but the referee ignored it and waited for Finnan to clear the siege.
Beep beep beep β
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game......
Draw!
The two sides will have to replay at a later date......
"The result of the tragedy, if you knew it was this score, you shouldn't have fought so hard?"
