Chapter 394 This is Anfield!
In fact, when he got Manchester United's starting lineup, Benitez knew that his idea was correct, as if he would definitely choose this lineup when he had this lineup in his hand, and Ferguson also had no reason not to choose this way.

Obviously, this time, Manchester United put on a naked defensive counterattack posture in the away game. Rooney rushed forward, and Bell, Giggs and Ronaldinho lined up behind him. Both offensive and defensive counterattacks were very strong points.

Although Benitez has already thought of this scene, but when looking at the starting list, he still feels a bit of a headache.

In fact, unlike Benitez, Ferguson basically did not hesitate too much in the selection of lineup and formation. In his opinion, this lineup is definitely the most suitable for the away game. What he needs to do is more about how to limit the opponent's ace players, rather than his own tactical arrangements.

When Manchester United's bus came to Anfield, they were greeted with harsh boos. This is definitely a place for their sworn enemies. It is difficult for you to see the word friendly here when representing Manchester United.

However, the players of Manchester United may have been accustomed to this for a long time. They didn't look surprised, but Yunfei, who might be participating in the double red meeting for the first time, felt a little surprised. This battle is usually not so easy to see.

Coming to the dressing room, loud singing came in from outside the dressing room. That is the eternal theme of this stadium. You will never walk alone. Even if you are a sworn enemy, you have to admit that Liverpool has a very good fan culture. In this stadium, Liverpool will always be a terrible team.

Ferguson looked at his players, looking a little distracted, and wondered if he suddenly remembered the era when Liverpool roamed across the continent.

After a while, Ferguson came back to his senses and said: "I think everyone knows what this game means. This is not just an ordinary league game, but also a match between us and our mortal enemy. This is actually a derby match! Normally, I might not exaggerate the importance of a certain match, but here, we must show momentum and give full attention to this match!"

"Here, teams that underestimate their opponents and lose concentration will suffer a huge blow. I think you should also understand what kind of stadium this is!"

Ferguson looked very serious, which made the players who looked relaxed suddenly become a little nervous. Obviously, this was also deliberately done by the old coach.

"Now, go on the court and beat your opponent, this is the only thing you have to do!"

In this game, the starting lineups of the two teams looked very unrestrained, not to mention Manchester United, and Liverpool also simply put up a 4-4-2 formation. Benitez played almost all the cards he could use to attack at home.

Obviously, Benitez hopes that the team can play something he wants on the offensive end at home.

When the game started, Liverpool did exactly that!

In the very beginning, Liverpool played a very delicate cooperation. Dirk did not hesitate to move forward to attract Vidic away. Torres received a second pass from Gerrard in front of the penalty area and rushed into the penalty area. His dexterous movements and strong explosive power instantly threw away Ferdinand who did not realize what happened, and then shot directly!
This shot hit the far corner, pursuing an extreme angle. Van der Sar failed to touch the ball. When the ball flew into the goal, the original flight trajectory was slightly deflected due to the rotation of the ball. As a result, it hit the post hard with a "boom", and then fell to Vidic's feet. This was the end of the crisis.

"As soon as the game started, Liverpool created a threat on their own home court. Torres' shot was only one step away from scoring, but even though Liverpool did not score, it still reminded Manchester United that Liverpool must work hard to play against you at their home court. If you are not careful, your opponent may seize the opportunity and score!"

The commentator is also very excited at this time, after all, this kind of game will only feel like it looks!

Next, a somewhat shocked Manchester United started the first attack of the game. Yunfei stepped on the ball and stood in the midfield, looking at Mascherano who was staring at him in front of him. This is a very strong defensive midfielder.

The latter did not stop for a moment after taking the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball towards the center of Liverpool's midfield. Before the defensive players were in place, Ronaldinho directly chose a strong long-range shot.

Ronaldinho's shot this time was just the beginning, and then the two teams started a fierce competition between you and me.

"Rise rushed forward with the ball, and Torres feinted in front of him, opening up a space for him to shoot. The latter shot straight away! As expected of a heavy gunner, this shot is really powerful!"

"For Manchester United, Bell rushed forward after receiving the pass from Yunfei. Arbeloa couldn't keep up with his speed, pass the ball! Rooney in the middle followed by a volley! Unfortunately, the ball was high!"

"Benayoun, he chose to kick the ball in. Torres struggled to get the ball. The ball fell to the edge of the penalty area. Gerrard followed up and shot at the ball! Wow, Van der Sar made a wonderful save. His height played a crucial role this time. As an ordinary goalkeeper, the goal definitely went in!"

"Looking back, Manchester United continued to counterattack. Ronaldinho successfully broke through Riise and broke into the penalty area. Just a second before the ball was about to be cut off, he passed the ball out. Although Rooney got the ball, he had no room to turn around and had to pass the ball back to the penalty area. Now, that's a one-shot!"

The game went on anxiously for more than 30 minutes, and the two teams still got nothing!
