Free kicks at the top of the penalty area are very dangerous.

What's more, there is a free kick master Gerald in the Reds camp.

After referee Weber blew his whistle, more than 70,000 Red Devils and hundreds of millions of TV viewers couldn't help but take a breath.

"Oh my God! Another free kick!"

"The two central defenders have yellow cards!"

"Didn't it be that Weber is our royal referee?"

"How to defend behind it? Torres is our nemesis!"

...

Red Devils fans are worried about the situation on the field.

"This is a bit troublesome!" said Martin, the commentator on the scene. "Gerard's free kick is not a joke in this position, but isn't the most dangerous thing not? Both central defenders have a yellow card? It's only been less than 30 minutes, how can they play in the next 60 minutes?"

Manchester United coach Ferguson's face also turned gloomy after Weber whistled. He was not worried about this free kick. Although this free kick was also dangerous, what he was most worried about was that both central defenders had yellow cards.

As the closest mid-range goal and the most important central defender, if he holds a yellow card, he will have concerns no matter what move he does later. In this game, Vidic and Evans' opponents are not a cat or a dog, but Torres and Gerald. Manchester United's defense behind is indeed a problem.

Ferdinand has not recovered from his injury and has not made it to the roster. Not to mention Brown is a big game, it is not considered a genuine central defender. Smalling is too young and has insufficient experience. If there is a problem with the central defender, Manchester United's defense line will be in danger.

Facing Gerrard's free kick, Manchester United lined up a thick wall of men, and goalkeeper Van der Sar was also ready.

More than 70,000 fans in the audience were all staring at the Reds captain Gerald, and Manchester United fans kept booing, trying to interfere with Gerald.

Without assisting, Gerald stood less than two meters behind the ball. He looked grim and turned a deaf ear to the booing outside.

After Weber's whistle, Gerald took a step forward and pushed out a curved ball to the upper left corner of the goal with his right foot.

While Gerald was pushing the shot, Torres, who was standing against Vidic, suddenly ran away, and the ball flew to the goal from the gap between Vidic and Torres.

With such a close distance, Van der Sar had no time to react, so he could only watch the ball fly into the upper left corner of the goal.

2:2

Gerald hit Van der Sar's fingers for the second time with a beautiful free kick.

After scoring the goal, Gerald was very excited. While running wildly, he raised his index finger to greet his teammates to come and celebrate. When he ran to the corner kick area, Gerald also made a passionate glider on the ground.

Manchester United fans were stupid. At the moment of scoring, no one in the field could speak.

Manchester United players could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. The free kick was really wonderful and Van der Sar could not save it.

The live commentator Martin sighed: "Beautiful! Gerrard! The soul of the Red Army! He always performs in the Double Red Club! I originally thought this would be a massacre, but I didn't expect it to be a goal battle. In less than 30 minutes, both sides have scored 4 goals. If they continue to play like this, maybe some players have scored hat tricks. In the history of the Double Red Club, no more players have scored hat tricks, while Manchester United has been even longer. No one has scored three goals in the Double Red Club since 1946."

CCTV commentator He Hui also frowned and said, "The dream start has become a difficult mode. The Double Red Club is really hard to play. It is worthy of being a contest between the world's top teams. The two sides will return to the same starting line and see who will break the deadlock again first."

On the court, two Manchester United 's 92 team bosses, Giggs and Scholes, discussed briefly, called Gao Xiaodong over.

Scholes said seriously: "Gao, don't be so hard in front of you. Our two central defenders were all yellow cards. You can stay in the backcourt to protect them. When the halftime break is over, check the boss's adjustment before making plans."

Gao Xiaodong had no objection. In this case, even if Scholes did not explain, as a midfielder who was both offensive and defensive, Gao Xiaodong had to focus more energy on defense.

Of course, Gao Xiaodong is eager to score more goals, but more than scoring goals, Gao Xiaodong is eager to win the Double Red Club. He doesn't want his first derby to end in failure.

The game started again, and the morale of Liverpool players rose. They also grabbed Manchester United's life goal, that is, the central defender did not cooperate well, and he carried yellow cards, began to cross the midfield, searched Torres and Gerard and Meleres through long passes and diagonal passes, and directly attacked Manchester United's defense line.

However, after Gao Xiaodong returned to the center back, he could not only use his body to head the ball, but also follow the players who inserted it. It was much easier for Vidic and Evans to concentrate on dealing with Torres. Under the control of both of them, Liverpool's long pass and rushing tactic did not play any role. Instead, Manchester United intercepted the ball continuously and hit a counterattack.

In the 35th minute, Nani received a pass from Scholes and quickly attacked along the side. Konceski and Paulson came to block the defense. Nani quickly tangled across the penalty area, dodged the angle and took a long shot.

The ball was blocked by defender Scotter, but it still flew into the penalty area. Berbatov tried hard to intervene, but the ball was too fast and Berbatov could not touch the ball. The ball was confiscated by Reina's attack.

Two minutes later, Johnson made a long diagonal pass from the wing to Torres, but the ball was pushed out by Vidic, and both Gerald and Gao Xiaodong rushed over to grab the ball.

Gerald raised his legs and wanted to pick the ball over Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong turned around faster than him. Before Gerald could stop the ball, Gao Xiaodong quickly bullied himself into Gerald's arms and leaned hard. Gerald was hit by the side, and Gao Xiaodong kept the ball.

Gao Xiaodong took a few steps forward and saw Rooney and Berbatov running. Gao Xiaodong quickly made a long pass to Berbatov.

This was a long pass from 40 meters away, but Berbatov showed the fans his super basic skills. He leaned on the defender and easily removed the ball in front of him with the instep, then knocked his heel and passed it to Rooney.

There was applause in the stands, and the fans were conquered by Gao Xiaodong's accurate long pass and Berbatov's beautiful stop and pass.

Martin, the live commentator, sighed: "Baba's stop and pass are so beautiful! If he had been half as active as Gao Xiaodong, the core would have been his."

CCTV commentator He Hui smiled and said, "Fortunately, Xiaodong passed it to Brother Xiaosha. If it was passed to Rooney, the ball would probably be stopped three meters away." However, He Hui also said a good thing about Rooney, "But Rooney is in good health. Even if he stops three meters away, he can squeeze out the defender and grab the ball."

After Rooney got the ball, he faced only central defender Carragher.

Carragher is Liverpool's deputy and an iron-blooded central defender. He is accurate in position and fierce in fighting, which is not easy to deal with.

However, Rooney's advantage now is that she has room. The fat man accelerated forward and stopped suddenly and changed direction. He wanted to get rid of Carragher, but Carragher's speed was not slow. He immediately followed horizontally and blocked Rooney's forward route.

Rooney saw the pursuit approaching and was a little anxious. After changing direction again, he pulled his feet and forced his shot.

Carragher did not lose his position. When Rooney shot, he raised his foot to block the ball and blocked the ball to the side.

At this time, Nani on the wing had quickly followed. He grabbed the ball and flicked it down, then changed direction and rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area.

Concheski chased after Nani, and Scotter also gave up Berbatov to make up for the place. Nani did not pass the ball, but reached the front of the penalty area and directly shot with a strong shot.

The kick was very far off the ground and the angle was tricky. Goalkeeper Reina flew to save the ball but did not touch the ball, but the ball hit the post and bounced out.

Rooney and Berbatov were both complaining that Nani did not pass the ball, but when he saw the ball hit the post, he could only shake his head helplessly.

At Nani's position, passing is more reasonable, but there is nothing to say about shooting, after all, you have already faced the goal.

Nani's goal post woke Liverpool up. After seeing Gao Xiaodong retreating to protect, they directly attacked Manchester United's back line with poor results. They immediately changed their tactics and continued the opening wide attack.

Manchester United's central defender has hidden dangers, Gao Xiaodong cannot boldly insert it, and only one Scholes is not a big threat, so they can only attack Liverpool from two wings.
