Chapter 189 Substitution
(Thanks for the reward from the cow of the flower planter. I have a physical problem recently, I am weak all over, and the code words are difficult. I can only stick to two updates. Sorry. The first update will be at 12 noon tomorrow.)
To the majestic sound of You'll Never Walk Alone, Liverpool and Manchester United players take to Anfield, one of the most powerful stadiums in the Premier League.This game was Dalglish's 250th game in the top league led by Liverpool, and he became the sixth head coach in Liverpool's history to achieve this achievement.

This game also has unusual significance for Gerrard. This is the first time he has started in the league in nearly seven months. After Dalglish took office, he rarely started in games.

Not to mention that Villas-Boas promoted rejuvenation and technical reforms at Chelsea, and Dalglish did the same. He also carried the pressure to reduce the influence of old players on the team's outcome.

Gerrard is full of confidence in this game. He feels that his physical function has reached its peak. Facing Manchester United, he can always burst into a strong fighting force. "So what if Manchester United has Morrison? At Anfield, I can still abuse him." you."

Before the competition, Morrison would be a little nervous and feel dry mouth, but when he stepped on the lawn of the court during the warm-up, his whole body was mobilized, and he felt stimulated and excited again, thinking only about fighting.

"Even just coming off the bench, I can do miracles."

The focus of the eighth round of the Premier League, Liverpool's home game against Manchester United, the game officially began.

For Liverpool, Reina is the main goalkeeper, Enrique and Kelly are the full-back partners on the back line, Skrtel and Carragher are partners to form a central defender combination; the two midfielders are Lucas and Charlie Adam, and the full-back positions On the top, Downing, Gerrard and Kevin Dirk made a trio, with Suarez at the front.

Suarez cleared his teeth, ready to fight.

Manchester United's arrangement is quite special, beyond everyone's expectations.

Goalkeeper De Gea, on the back line, a combination of Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Smalling, Smalling has been appearing at right back recently.

The midfield is a combination of Ashley Young, Park Ji-sung, Parker, Fletcher and Giggs.On the forward line, Hernandez is arranged as a single forward.

Morrison, Nani and Valencia were all sitting on the bench. After the three warmed up, they went straight to empty city, which was a bit disappointing.And there are Van Persie and Rooney on the bench, plus the goalkeeper substitute Lindegaard, Ferguson did not put defensive players on the bench in a few steps.

"Has Ferguson put his mind on the Champions League? Or does he feel that Liverpool is not an opponent, so he directly arranges a substitute lineup to play?"

"Maybe Ferguson no longer regards Liverpool as an opponent. There is no way. Today's Liverpool cannot let Manchester United do their best."

"Anyway, Ferguson's idea is very interesting, he doesn't take Liverpool seriously, and I believe Liverpool will make him suffer."

After the opening, the strategies of the two teams were just the opposite. Liverpool pursued a fast pace, while Manchester United tried to stabilize the situation first.But the same thing is that both sides made a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving at the beginning.

Hernandez ran like a ghost, throwing away Carragher, and cut into the penalty area. Park Ji-sung sent a through ball near the penalty area, which was not strong enough. When Hernandez took advantage of the shot, the ball was easily confiscated by Reina .

"The feeling of sending the ball is too bad." Ferguson watched the field silently, without expressing it.Park Ji-sung was also very strange, "Isn't Morrison sending through balls like this? Why can't I assist him when he easily assists?"

"Obviously different, alas." Hernandez gave a thumbs up and applauded Park Ji-sung, wishing that his pass would be stronger, but not every player is Morrison.

Liverpool also strengthened their offensive strength. Downing was very fast and broke through the siege and interception of his old teammates Ashley Young and Park Ji-sung. Facing Evra, he was unable to break through and had to dribble the ball to the sideline.

Evra was in control of the position, but Tang Ning fell flat, and the referee decisively judged the dive. Is it the same habit as Ashley Young?Kind of bad.Evra was very dissatisfied with Tang Ning's actions and kept nagging the referee, but he was warned by the referee.

As the game deepened, Manchester United gradually turned from a disadvantage to an advantage in ball possession. They controlled the ball more, in the backcourt and in the midfield. Although there were not many shots, the ball was still firmly under control.

Liverpool's opening momentum gradually weakened, and they took the initiative to fight back. Gerrard is more accustomed to this rhythm. His technical characteristics are long passes and shots in the counterattack, which are simply world-class instigation.

If you let Gerrard control the ball and rub the opponent well, it's really not his job.

Liverpool gave up possession of the ball, and they were more threatening to counterattack. Manchester United's defense was frequently tested.Ferguson frowned, "I really don't understand Dalglish. After leaving the coaching circle for so long, he still wants to play pass control. In fact, isn't it good to continue their usual counter-attacking style?"

"It's a waste of Suarez's role."

In the 21st minute, Charlie Adam gave Gerrard a tactical corner kick from the left. Before Park Ji-sung stepped forward to block, the Red Army captain made a cross. Suarez couldn't find a chance to turn around and returned the ball to Gerrard.

Gerrard kicked up, Giggs gave way, the ball went around everyone's heads and went straight into the far corner of the goal.Liverpool took the lead, 1:0, Manchester United fell behind.

The Liverpool fans were singing and elated. They haven't led Manchester United for a long time, whether it's the game or the standings.

After Gerrard scored a goal, his old bark-like forehead stretched out, he rushed to the camera lens, spread his palms and shook them a few times.Five, or five, can't compare with the league champions, let's compare the number of Champions League champions.

The Manchester United fans were furious and kept abusing, but it was useless. The whole world saw Gerrard's handsomeness.

In the camera, Morrison is sitting on the bench, with a calm face and no emotion.In the interpretation of experts, he is a ruthless counterattack and whiplash against Liverpool, and his desire for Manchester United to win the fifth Champions League.

Manchester United is also very strong. Although the five players in the midfield are not strong individually, they have an advantage in numbers and quickly controlled the offensive rhythm.

Ji Sung-rye Park continued to fight actively, grabbing the ball and intercepting one shoulder, Giggs shuttled and cruising, the two cooperated continuously, Giggs suddenly kicked the ball and fell into the penalty area.

Hernandez slammed the ball into the back of the net after a reverse run, and Manchester United equalized before half-time.

1:1, the game returned to the same starting line, there is still half time.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United changed two people. Morrison and Nani played together, replacing Giggs and Park Ji-sung.Ferguson still wants to win.

Dalglish cheered up, "Is Manchester United finally going to exert its strength? But their defensive strength will be weakened accordingly. This is also our opportunity."
