Chapter 1212 Gerald's Falling Leaves
Manchester United's defense is very strong, and Liverpool attacks with all their might, but they can't get any advantage.
As time passes, the electronic scoreboard remains motionless, which makes Liverpool people more and more anxious.
When the game reached the 65th minute, Daglish made another adjustment, Kuyt ended and center Carroll came on the court.
Carol, 22, is 1.93 meters tall, strong and has excellent air control ability. Daglish hopes that he can become Liverpool's offensive fulcrum in Manchester United's frontcourt.
Carol created a threat when he came on the field.
Liverpool made a 45-degree cross from the side, Carol grabbed the landing point and headed the ball to Suarez.
Suarez's running position was very terrible. He ran away from Evans at a break line and happened to receive Carol's header.
Suarez's position to receive the ball during the run was not good, but Suarez adjusted well. He put his thighs on his back and without waiting for the ball to land, he immediately volleyed at the goal in a very awkward position.
The posture was awkward, but the effect was good, and the ball hit the door frame.
The angle is not too tricky, but it is full of strength.
De Gea was in good shape, he jumped and saved the ball from the bottom line.
A corner kick opportunity is very important to Liverpool. Now with the high point of Carroll, plus two central defenders, they have the ability to cause some trouble for Manchester United on high altitude balls.
Gerald served a corner kick, and he passed directly to the penalty area to find his high point.
Liverpool has an extra high point, but Manchester United has never suffered losses in high altitude balls. Evans, Smarin and Ferdinand all have strong heading skills, and Welbeck and Phil Jones can also come back to top the ball. It is not easy for Liverpool to break Manchester United's goal with high altitude bombing.
Sure enough, Gerald wanted to find Carol, but the experienced Ferdinand rushed out of the penalty area first.
The ball was grabbed by Henderson, and he hurriedly shot from outside the penalty area. The ball did not suppress it and flew directly out of the baseline.
Although Liverpool still cannot gain an advantage in high altitude ball after playing Carol, there is such a messing stick, and Manchester United's ability to control the air in the backcourt has decreased, which gives Suarez the chance to run.
In the 71st minute of the game, Carol and Evans competed for a header. Although the ball fell within Fletcher's control, Fletcher was very reluctant to get the ball and needed some adjustments.
At this time, Suarez pressed quickly, forcing Fletcher to make a mistake in passing, and the ball was intercepted by Gerald.
Gerald wanted to be dangerous when he held the ball. Gao Xiaodong stepped forward and pressed immediately, not giving Gerald a chance to shoot.
Gerald is a superstar of his generation. He realized in advance that his opponent would definitely come to press him. He quickly transferred the ball to Suarez when Gao Xiaodong didn't pounce.
The team was behind, and Suarez had a strong desire to shoot. Gerald's ball came over and he didn't stop and directly shot.
The previous few shots were either swept or missed. Suarez was a little anxious. He exerted too much force and flew high over the crossbar and flew into the stands.
Suarez's shot made Gerald a little unhappy. He believed that Suarez had shot several times before, but he didn't score a goal. This time he should have played more steadily and passed the ball.
Suarez didn't think there was anything wrong with him. After Manchester United served, he still actively went over to press and put pressure on Manchester United's defense line.
Manchester United's starting lineup has a good defense, but the offense can only be organized by Gao Xiaodong and Giggs. Others get the ball, except for finding them to go straight to the bottom.
Such a simple offensive method is easy to be targeted. As long as you focus on Gao Xiaodong and Giggs, Manchester United's offense will be paralyzed.
At first, Liverpool was worried about losing the ball, so he was still worried about the offense and did not dare to invest all his troops.
As time goes by, Liverpool gave up all concerns and the whole team pressed near the center circle to put pressure on Manchester United.
Although Manchester United has many defensive players, they will sooner or later make mistakes when they are suppressed and beaten. Even if there are no mistakes, the refraction, the own and world waves may cause the goal to be lost.
Although Manchester United has not conceded the ball yet, Ferguson felt keenly and immediately let Rooney come on the court, replace Velbeck, and strengthen the attack power in the frontcourt.
In addition to Rooney, Ferguson also asked Nani and Valencia to warm up, ready to replace Giggs at any time depending on the situation.
Ferguson had a good premonition, but his substitution was still a little late.
In the 77th minute of the game, Manchester United made another mistake under Liverpool's press. The ball was grabbed by Suarez. Suarez failed to control the ball, so he passed it to Gerald, adjusting his body and preparing to play and cooperate with Gerald.
Gerald did not pass to Suarez, he took two steps forward to oppress and attract Manchester United's defensive staff.
The shadow of the famous tree, Gerald took the ball, and every Manchester United person was trembling in his heart, for fear that he would shoot from a long time or break through.
Gerald was also cunning, he wanted the effect. Seeing that the people were attracted by him, Gerald suddenly made a cross to find Charlie Adam who was quickly inserted.
There was no one around Adam, and there was a space leading to the restricted area in front of Adam.
Adam took the ball and rushed to Manchester United's penalty area at high speed.
At this moment, Ferdinand was closest to Adam, but Ferdinand could no longer keep up with Adam's speed, so he could only stretch his foot to hook Adam down from behind.
Beep!
Referee Marina's whistle rang.
Marina did not look at the lineman and directly took out a yellow card to warn Ferdinand.
Liverpool got a free kick opportunity.
This free kick is twenty-four or five meters away from the goal, facing the goal, and the position is very good, which is very suitable for direct free kick shooting.
Gerald stood in front of the ball and took the free kick himself.
After fighting De Gea for most of the game, Gerald did not do anything to this young goalkeeper. In such a threatening position, Gerald naturally hopes to break through the young man's ten fingers.
The referee's whistle rang, Gerald made a small run-up, bent his bow and arrow, and shot a wonderful arc ball with his right foot.
The ball fell sharply after crossing the tallest tallest wall, Xiaodong and Giggs, and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
This is a leaf-falling ball, and the ball is extremely fast.
Gao Xiaodong couldn't help but admire. Even if he bought the skill points of the fallen leaf ball, he might not be much better than Gerald's kick.
The ball was too fast and had a strong drop. Goalkeeper De Gea was not experienced enough. He swung a little slower and the ball flew into the net from his hand.
1:1
Gerald used a beautiful fallen leaf to equalize the score for Liverpool.
After scoring the goal, Gerald raised his arms and shouted, celebrating his goal with a domineering spirit.
Anfield fans have been waiting for this goal for too long. After Gerald scored, all the Reds fans stood up and cheered at Gerald.
Daglish rushed out of the coach's seat excitedly and cheered and applauded the stadium like the fans.
This goal is very important to Dalglish. It will be difficult for Liverpool to win the championship this season. If you lose the Double Red Club again, Dalglish will be under great pressure.
