Back in the locker room, Ferguson's first words were: Why not step up the offense?

The defense is tight, but we need to strengthen our offense?

Everyone was confused and didn't know how to answer.

Sir Alex Ferguson's close disciple Scholes took the blame and said: The central defenders all received yellow cards. I asked Gao Jian to protect the back line.

Although Scholes said that he asked his teammates to retreat to strengthen the protection of the defense, Ferguson knew very well that the defense was unstable. Even if Scholes didn't say it, no player could attack without distraction. Erls just took the responsibility on himself.

Ferguson said excitedly: Why defend? Are you scared? This is Old Trafford. We are 7 points ahead of Liverpool. The defense is unstable, so we must attack more and score more goals than our opponents! Instead of defensive counterattacks , this is Old Trafford!

Seeing Ferguson's blower half on, Manchester United's players bowed their heads and remained silent.

After Ferguson finished speaking, he seemed to still have more to say, and continued: A team like Liverpool is not worthy of us shrinking and counterattacking, let me attack in the second half!

No one asked what to do about defense? What should I do if two central defenders have yellow cards? They believe that since Ferguson said this, it means that he has his own arrangements and just do as Ferguson said. This is authority. No matter whether he is right or wrong, the players will believe him unconditionally.

After formulating the combat strategy for the second half, Ferguson then began to analyze the performance of the Manchester United players in the first half. Ferguson only praised the positive Berbatov and the offensive Gao Xiaodong, but did not criticize any player, but everyone can feel it. , Ferguson was not satisfied with Rooney, and he was also not satisfied with the defense of Gao Xiaodong and Scholes.

However, Rooney has had too many off-field ties recently. Scholes is old and is unable to defend as expected. Gao Xiaodong scored a goal in the first half. When playing against a team like Liverpool, it would be wrong to let Gao Xiaodong dominate both offense and defense. Unlikely.

However, Ferguson did not say anything about Evans, the center back who deserved the most criticism in the defense. After all, Evans was young and a substitute. When the midfielder could not protect him enough, he had to deal with a talented forward like Torres. There is really no way.

Coach Hodgson was satisfied with the performance of the players. The first of Manchester United's two goals was Gao Xiaodong's magic goal, which the goalkeeper could not defend. The second was a counterattack goal. Liverpool was already behind at the time and could only Attacked and then got beaten back.

Facing a team like Manchester United, as long as you attack, it is impossible not to give them a chance to counterattack.

After 45 minutes of competition and comparison in the first half, Hodgson had a more intuitive understanding of Manchester United's strength. Manchester United was indeed stronger than Liverpool, so he was still satisfied with the 2:2 score. He hoped that the team would win in the second half. Play defensive counterattacks, maintain draws and strive for victory, wait for the formation to be adjusted, and then compete with Ferguson when he returns to the home court.

However, Gerrard was not satisfied with Hodgson's arrangement. As the boss and spiritual leader of the team, Gerrard's status in the Red Army was no worse than Hodgson's. When Hodgson returned to the coaching lounge after deploying tactics, Gerrard found Hodgson.

Coach, the game against Manchester United is extraordinary. Once the opponent's morale is knocked down, can our defensive counterattack be maintained?

Time was tight, so Gerald didn't beat around the bush and spoke bluntly.

Although Gerrard is doing the best for the team, in Hodgson's view, this is questioning his authority. However, Gerrard's status in Liverpool is lofty, and even if Hodgson is the coach, he must respect his advice.

Hodgson said calmly: Steve, you are worrying too much. Rooney is not in good condition, Berbatov has no impact, and they cannot penetrate our double defense line.

Gerrard said: Coach, don't forget, they also have Xiao Donggao, he is the most powerful offensive player in Manchester United.

Hodgson laughed and said: Now Manchester United's two central defenders are carrying yellow cards, and Manchester United only has Gao Xiaodong as the defensive midfielder.

He's probably too busy taking care of himself that he doesn't have enough energy to attack.

Gerrard was still not convinced and said: What if Ferguson replaces Scholes and replaces Fletcher.

Hodgson said: If Ferguson replaces Fletcher, then only Gao Xiaodong will organize and advance in the midfield. Can he create opportunities by himself and then shoot by himself? If Ferguson really makes such an adjustment, then I will have a way To deal with him.

Gerrard was convinced by Hodgson. He was not looking for trouble in the first place. He just didn't understand. Since Hodgson had taken all aspects of the situation into consideration, Gerrard had achieved his goal.

Fifteen minutes later, the game started again. Neither Manchester United nor Liverpool made any substitutions. The two sides continued the game with the original team.

After Berbatov and Rooney kicked off the ball from the center circle, Manchester United players implemented Ferguson's offensive requirements, and the three lines quickly advanced and attacked Liverpool's penalty area.

In the first minute of the second half, Nani attacked from the wing, attracting the right leaning of Liverpool's formation, and then quickly passed to Vidic who was inserted in the middle. Vidic passed to Giggs, completing a wide-range transfer.

Liverpool's formation immediately moved to the left again, preventing Manchester United from attacking from the left.

Giggs and Evra launched a quick attack towards the bottom line. The two cooperated continuously but failed to penetrate Johnson's defense. Giggs passed back to Scholes. Scholes saw that Nani was unmanned on the wing. Marking, a long pass to the wing found Nani.

When Gao Xiaodong saw Scholes passing the ball to Nani, he immediately ran towards the ribs of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask Nani for the ball.

Gao Xiaodong had asked Nani for the ball several times in the first half, but Nani never passed it. This time Nani was criticized by Ferguson alone, and the ball was not easy to handle. After he stopped, defender Kong Che probably Ski also came over and had no chance to break through, so he gave the header to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong didn't expect Nani to pass the ball so quickly. He had just run to the right edge of the penalty area when Nani's ball arrived.

Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate, adjusted his steps, bent his bow and arrow, and volleyed the ball to the right side of the goal.

The shot was powerful and heavy, and it reached the goal in an instant.

However, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina is the world's top goalkeeper. He was focused and reacted quickly. He jumped up and knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

Manchester United completed a shot at the beginning of the second half, and it was midfielder Gao Xiaodong who was responsible for Manchester United's defense. This was a signal that Manchester United did not want to defend.

However, Liverpool did not pay attention to this signal. They still believed that Gao Xiaodong did not dare to press too much, and did not take targeted defensive measures against Gao Xiaodong's attack.

In the 50th minute of the game, Manchester United made a long pass and the ball was pushed out by Liverpool center back Carragher. The ball was grabbed by Gao Xiaodong and passed to Scholes.

Scholes lobbed the ball into the penalty area, and Rooney and Berbatov attacked the Liverpool penalty area.

Berbatov and Carragher competed for a header, and their heads collided. The ball fell to Rooney's feet. Rooney was closely followed by Skrtel and could not turn around. However, Rooney was eager to score and forced Turning around and shooting, the ball hit Skrtel and bounced out of the penalty area.

As soon as the ball popped out, Gao Xiaodong suddenly came from the backcourt, met the ball before Liverpool midfielder Paulson could make a clearance, and fired a furious shot.

The ball was like an arrow piercing the clouds, flying along the gap to the left side of the goal like lightning.

When Gao Xiaodong shot, goalkeeper Reina was blocked by a player in the penalty area. When he saw the ball, there was no hope of saving it. Reina didn't even make a symbolic move and just watched helplessly. The ball flew in front of him and into the net.

3:2

Gao Xiaodong scored twice to help Manchester United overtake the score again.
