Manchester United legend

Chapter 203 Unlucky Karahah
In the blink of an eye, it was September, and after the first week of national team competitions, the league reignited.Manchester United challenged rivals Liverpool away in the 9th round of the league.

Liverpool's recent situation is not good. The team's top scorer Owen has just recovered from injury. Houllier did not let him start. Instead, he let Kamara, who had just transferred in the summer, partner with Fowler.

And Ferguson sent Taibi and Sylvester who had just joined the team.The frontcourt is still black and windy, and the midfielder lets Bart start instead of Jost. The midfield four has always been a pure member of the 92 class.

In terms of strength, Liverpool is far inferior to Manchester United. At the beginning of the game, Liverpool tried to attack and try their firepower, but Borg's long shot could hit the plane in the sky, which was ridiculously high.

Then Manchester United's counterattack was extremely sharp. In the 3rd minute, Beckham made a long pass to Giggs on the left. Giggs and other teammates made several passes and then tore open the gap on the left.

The backward Liverpool set off several offensive waves, but Liverpool did not have many ways to attack. They could not get into Manchester United's penalty area and could only rely on long-range shots from the outside. Whether it was Borg or Fowler, their long-range shots were not enough to threaten Taiby.

Liverpool couldn't attack for a long time, and Manchester United quickly found a murderous opportunity. Beckham took a free kick from the right. The precise and fast ball found Cole in the penalty area as if he had eyes. Cole jumped high and easily headed the ball in. Manchester United led 2-0.

Liverpool, who fell behind in the score, was not convinced, and Liverpool fans couldn't stand that Liverpool was for Manchester United. They said where to sing Liverpool's team song "You Will Never Walk Alone" at the stadium, and the encouraged Liverpool players began to wake up.

In the 23rd minute, Liverpool took a free kick in the frontcourt. Hyypia took a free kick from Redknapp and successfully scored with a nod, bringing the score closer to 1-2.

Taibi made an obvious mistake in judgment on this ball, but this was also Taibi's only mistake in the whole game.

In this game alone, it should be Karah who is really frustrated by his mistakes.

When Liverpool chased the score to 1-2, they started to attack. At one point, they almost broke through Taiby's gate. Butt's defensive handball in the penalty area also showed that the Red Devils were a little nervous. Fowler and Borg's long shots tested Manchester United's defense.

However, just as Liverpool began to gain the upper hand, they gave Manchester United a free kick on the right.

It was still Beckham who took the penalty, and the football was still sent to the penalty area in a sharp arc. This time, it was Manchester United's Borg who rushed to the top of the penalty area and was blocked. Then the players of the two teams scuffled in the penalty area. During the scuffle, the unlucky Karah once again hit the ball into his team's goal!
1 to 3 - Carahel went back to the dressing room laughing after two consecutive own goals to give Manchester United a first-half lead.

The situation changed suddenly in the second half, and Liverpool attacked wildly.And they chose the firepower breakthrough on the side of Sylvester who had just joined Manchester United.

The Manchester United players who led by two goals and were at the opponent's home court were a bit unprepared. They were continuously suppressed by the opponent, and there was panic in front of the goal.In the 68th minute, Borg, who performed well in the Liverpool team, caught the ball and scored in the penalty area, chasing the score to 2 to 3. In the end, the two teams did not change the score, and Manchester United took 3 points from the rival's home court!
In the second half, Liverpool took advantage of the scene and got a lot of scoring opportunities.But at the critical moment, Taibi started his own performance.He first saved Sylvester's header that almost turned into an own goal, and then he gained the upper hand in the dialogue with Smicer, and attacked decisively to block the opponent's single-handed shot from the bottom line.

Then, with near impossibility, he blocked Fowler's header from the inside of the penalty area!Not only that, he also defeated Fowler and Owen one after another in the later time, destroying the two excellent single-handed opportunities of the two respectively!

It can be said that he made 4 key saves alone. Throughout the second half, Taibi was almost an invincible giant.

Of course, the referee of this game also became the protagonist.His chaotic calls almost made the game out of control.In the first half, he let go of many fouls by Liverpool players on Manchester United players, and also let go of the penalty for Butt's handball.

Of course, he also turned a blind eye to the fact that Giggs was dragged down in the opponent's penalty area. Not only did he ignore Cole's uncivilized provocations by Song, but he also warned Cole, who was counterattacking, with a yellow card.

At the beginning of the second half, the referee inexplicably blew off Cole’s good goal in response to Ryan Giggs’s left pass, and then gave Cole a “red card” to death. Cole’s sending off was not too wrong.

Even if they get the referee's whistle, they still can't win the ball. Although Manchester United paid the price of Cole's red card, the victory over the opponent at home can still make every Manchester United proud.

Ferguson said after the game, "I won't comment on Cole's red card, and I won't comment on the referee. Let's talk about practical things. We should have led 4-1, or even 5-1. Giggs was pulled down in the penalty area and Cole's goal? These are beyond my control. Let's go back to this game. Our performance and level deserve the victory."

For his new signings this year, Ferguson is actually very satisfied.” Ferguson said: “Taiby’s performance today is very similar to Schmeichel’s first game in Manchester United. Back then Schmeichel also missed a pass, but then his performance was simply too great.The same goes for Massimo, who made three fantastic saves after that error.At the same time I think Sylvester's performance is also very good.He's very focused on the game, very confident, very strong defensively, and very fast. "

After this battle, Manchester United scored 7 points in 19 games, scored 19 goals and only conceded 6 goals, leading No.2 Chelsea by 6 points.Manchester United not only grabbed points fiercely, but also had amazing firepower, and successively eliminated rivals Arsenal and Liverpool at home, which made Manchester United fans elated, and also made Ferguson, who had just won the best coach of the month in August, full of confidence.
