This teenager is a bit aggressive

Chapter 394 Bad Start

FA Cup starting lineup:

Manchester United

(4 - 4 - 2)

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar
Defenders: Evra, Vidic, David Shevchenko, Hargreaves

Midfielders: Park Ilseng, Carrick, Nani, Ronaldo

Forwards: Rooney, Anderson

Almost all of Ferguson's players are young players, because Liverpool is a very tough team, and Ferguson doesn't want to make a substitution before the halftime of the game is over.

Veterans are not suitable for high-intensity games. After reaching a certain age, players have to obey their old age. Apart from their experience, their physical fitness is not as good as that of young and energetic players.

In this game, Ferguson changed back to a 4-4-2 formation, because Liverpool's offensive ability is not as limited as Portsmouth's, and Ferguson's formation is not arbitrary.

Liverpool
(4 - 4 - 2)

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio
Midfielders: Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Dirk
Forwards: Torres, Robbie Keane

There was no change in Liverpool's lineup. In the FA Cup final, Benitez naturally played Liverpool's best player.

After the two sides took their positions, the referee was reading the watch.

beep!
The referee's whistle blew, and the 08-09 FA Cup final officially began.

Kick-off for Manchester United!After the kick-off, the Manchester United team still focused on passing the ball, because it can adapt to the game as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the game, it is not suitable for launching a fast attack, because the players need a period of time to enter the state of the game.

Although the Premier League is the kind of game that is hot from the start, Manchester United's consistent style is still slow and hot. At the beginning of the game, Manchester United will not attack aggressively.

The Liverpool team was different. After the opening, they made a crazy press, trying to make Manchester United make mistakes through this method.

Originally, the final was the most unspectacular game, because both sides played relatively steadily, and the offense could not play well, but the defense must not make mistakes.

Because, those who can reach the finals are very strong opponents, and the finals are the real masters. A small mistake may lose the champion.

However, Benitez didn't want to play steadily with Manchester United. The reason why he lost to Manchester United in this year's league game was because Liverpool was a bit conservative.

Manchester United is a very creative team, and stability is not the best way to deal with such an opponent.

Therefore, Benitez formulated a crazy offensive tactic before the game, and he wanted to fight Ferguson to the death.

Under Liverpool's pressing, Manchester United's midfield was under a lot of pressure.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Carrick made a mistake.

Due to Liverpool's pressing defense, Carrick only hesitated after receiving a pass from Vidic in midfield. Without a pass, Alonso cut the ball from his feet.

Carrick was also knocked to the ground by Alonso's savage tackle. The referee's whistle did not sound, and Alonso took the ball and launched an attack.

At this time, Carrick looked at the referee, expressing how innocent he was, but the referee didn't even look at him.

Alonso took the ball to the frontcourt, Robbie Keane stepped forward to respond, and Alonso passed the ball to Robbie Keane.

Robbie Keane gave the ball to Gerrard with the foot pad, and he turned and ran back.

After Gerrard took the ball, he adjusted it and took a long shot directly. The ball was hit slightly on the right, and the goalkeeper Van der Sar firmly received the ball in his arms.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, shouting loudly:

"Have you ignored everything you said before the game?"

Ferguson specifically reminded the Manchester United players before the game that Liverpool is a very tough team, and they must be brutal to play against Liverpool.

However, in the 5th minute of the game, Manchester United made the same mistake again. This time, it was Nani's turn.

Nani chose to push the ball forward when facing Mascherano's defense. As a result, Mascherano savagely pushed Nani away, and there was a small movement in his hand.

The ball was broken by Mascherano, Nani was also tripped to the ground, the referee's whistle did not sound, Nani got angry, got up and attacked Mascherano with the ball He rushed up, and a sliding shovel came directly from the side, bringing Mascherano to the ground.

At this time, the referee's whistle blew and Nani was shown a yellow card.

Nani couldn't bear the successive blows, so he yelled at the referee:
"Javier Mascherano just fouled, why didn't you blow it?"

However, the referee warned Nani:

"Dangerous actions like yours are the real fouls. I'd be very polite to give you a yellow card."

Nani still felt that his card was not worth it, so he complained to the referee about Mascherano's savage steal just now.

However, the referee just grinned and didn't continue to talk to Nani. At this time, the referee was laughing at Nani in his heart.

"It's funny, do you think this is a La Liga stadium?"

The physical confrontation in the Premier League is inherently strong, and the referee's penalty scale will naturally be larger.

Seeing this scene, Ferguson was frowning. Nani behaved like a child, which really made him speechless.

Ferguson came to the Manchester United bench.

"Scholes, get ready to play."

Just 5 minutes into the game, Ferguson was forced to make a substitution. Nani had a yellow card. Moreover, Ferguson was not sure whether Nani could control his emotions on the field.

In case of losing control of emotions and another yellow card, the Manchester United team will have one less man to fight.

Facing a team like Liverpool, one less player is basically equivalent to losing the game. Ferguson doesn't want this to happen.

After Nani's foul, Liverpool won a free kick in the midfield, and the free kick was taken by Gerrard.

It is impossible for the Liverpool team to shoot a free kick close to the midfielder. Therefore, Manchester United's players also concentrated on the front of the penalty area to defend.

At this time, the smart Ronaldo intends to slip away when Liverpool's free kick is kicked out. In case Manchester United succeeds in making a clearance, then, as long as Manchester United launches a counterattack, Ronaldo can get a chance to fast break from the side.

It can be said that Ronaldo's small calculation is very good, however, he miscalculated.

Gerrard's free kick passed to the top of the penalty area, and Vidic grabbed the header against Alonso. However, due to physical confrontation, he caused a deviation when he shook his head to clear the siege, and the ball was headed by Vidic. The ball was passed directly into the penalty area.

This is simply a perfect assist, Javier Mascherano in the penalty area shot through goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar's fingers.

The ball is in!
0:1
Liverpool scored in the opening five minutes, Mascherano directing the goal alone.
