Chapter 778 Making Penalty Kicks

In the 60th minute of the game, Liverpool coach Hodgson immediately made a substitution adjustment after Berbatov scored twice. Central defender Agel came on the court and replaced Konchesky who had been ravaged by Nani for 60 minutes.

Hodgson couldn't bear it anymore. Without full-back use, he would rather use Agel to play fullback than tolerate Conchesky becoming a big colander on the left.

At the same time, forward Ngog was replaced, allowing him to attack Manchester United with Torres, which has weakened the defense line of three successful forces.

Ferguson is experienced and cunning. He lets the players take a risk of attacking. After scoring two goals, he immediately made a substitution adjustment when he saw Hodgson trying to kill himself. The young central defender Smalling came on the court and replaced Evans, who had received a yellow card, and asked Smalling to go on the court to press. The experienced Vidic got the spot in the back.

Ferguson's substitution was very good. Although Smalling is a newcomer, young and a little frizzy, and has not had a good running-in with Vidic, he is tall, has a wide defense area, and is still very fast. He and Vidic can still cooperate with Liverpool players whose physical fitness has begun to decline.

The most important thing is that after Smalling comes on the court, he at least has the ability to foul. Gao Xiaodong and Scholes no longer have to consider the safety of the defense line at all times and can continue to maintain pressure on Liverpool's penalty area.

In the 65th minute of the game, Liverpool striker Ngog, who had just played, got the opportunity. Torres took advantage of the cooperation between Smalling and Vidic, and pulled back to bring Vidic and Smalling together. Meleres made a pass, and Ngog took the ball into the penalty area. After Smalling and Gao Xiaodong intercepted one by one, one by one, the ball was weak and weak, and was confiscated by goalkeeper Van der Sar.

Ngog wanted to go over and intercept Van der Sar to launch a counterattack, but he was tripped by Gao Xiaodong as if he was unintentionally. Van der Sar was unstoppable and quickly threw the ball to Nani, who was returning to defense from the side, and launched a quick counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Nani ran to Liverpool's half-time like crazy. The right back O'Shea, behind him, also ran forward to meet Nani.

Nani was very fast, and Gerald in the middle wanted to intercept the side and was one step too late, so he could only quickly return to defend Manchester United's forward player in the middle.

Nani met Age who had been replaced not far from the midfield.

Facing Ag, who played a cameo fullback and had no speed, Nani was very disdainful. He made a fake move to the inside and prepared to overtake directly from the outside.

But Ag was a central defender. Although he was not fast, he had a good judgment on the timing of his foot. Nani had not finished his fake moves, so he directly swept over and swept Nani to the ground.

Ag's kick was obviously to give Nani a warning. She was very fierce in her foot, and Nani was so painful that she lay on the ground and rolled straight on her back.

Seeing Ag’s movements so rough, Manchester United’s boss Scholes rushed over and shouted at Ag’s: “Do you want to kick his leg off?”

Ag spread his hands, "It's just a foul."

As the leader of the Portuguese gang, Gao Xiaodong couldn't act without hesitation. He ran to the point of accident and pointed at Age's nose and said, "Aren't you afraid that others will kick your leg?"

Age opened Gao Xiaodong's hand contemptuously and said, "Boy who is not dry, be careful of your legs."

Gao Xiaodong was furious, raised his feet and kicked Age, which scared Age so much that he quickly took two steps back.

Gao Xiaodong lifted his legs but stopped moving. He smiled contemptuously and said, "My legs are here. If you have the ability, please shovel it."

The referee Weber also arrived at this time. He quickly separated the players on both sides, showing Ag a yellow card, and awarded Manchester United a free kick from the wing.

Although Manchester United is now leading by two goals, there is no Red Devils who don’t want to score more goals in the battle between Manchester United and Liverpool. Central defenders Smalling and Vidic both came to Liverpool’s penalty area to compete for a header, while Gao Xiaodong and Evra dragged it back to prevent their opponent from fighting back.

Scholes passed the ball into the penalty area, and Smalling still grabbed the landing point under Carragher's defense, but he couldn't exert force at all. He felt uncomfortable and the ball flew directly into the stands.

Liverpool served the ball, and Renner kicked the ball towards Manchester United's half. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. In the end, Gao Xiaodong used his strong body to grab the ball. He divided the side and gave Nani to Nani, allowing Nani to continue to break through Agel, who had just received a yellow card.

Nani caught the ball and quickly stepped forward, facing Ag again.

Nani thought Ag had received a yellow card and dared not make any big moves. After changing directions from left to right, he was preparing to break through from the internal test, but Ag was very arrogant and put on the shovel again.

Nani was scared by Age's leg sweeping. Seeing Age put the shovel again, she was timid and jumped up in advance. The ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Age.

Osheim served the ball outside the boundary to Nani again. Nani became afraid of Ag and did not dare to break through again. She passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong in the middle and quickly penetrated behind Ag.

Gao Xiaodong was so moved that he almost burst into tears when he saw Nani playing a two-for-one cooperation with him. This guy finally passed the ball. It seemed that his opponent should have a few more tackles.

Gao Xiaodong did not delay passing the ball when he complained. He kept stopping the ball and directly passed a ball behind Nani, and quickly penetrated into Liverpool's penalty area.

Ag was slow, and even though Nani went around an arc, Ag did not catch up.

Nani hit the bottom line and saw that there were too many defensive players in the penalty area, while Manchester United only had two points, Rooney and Berbatov. He gave up the cross and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area for Gao Xiaodong who was in the high speed.

Gao Xiaodong followed Melleres, and there was Gerald who was resting on one side. Gao Xiaodong couldn't adjust, and he didn't want to adjust. He just shot with a shot.

However, there were too many people in the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong kicked Paulson and the ball rebounded almost straight and then back.

Gao Xiaodong reacted very smartly. He bent down, closed his abdomen, held his chest, turned around and stopped the ball towards the opposite direction of Gerald, and immediately ran over to get the ball.

Gerald couldn't hold back and just ran into Melleres who ran from behind Gao Xiaodong.

Thunderous applause suddenly sounded in the stands, and all the Red Devils fans applauded Gao Xiaodong's witty stop-off.

Gao Xiaodong caught up with the ball and wanted to shoot again, but Carragher had blocked it, and Gao Xiaodong had no room to shoot.

Gao Xiaodong saw that Carragher was too hurrying, so he dunked the ball, passed Carragher, and went on another trip and entered the penalty area.

Carragher couldn't let Gao Xiaodong pass, so he could only reach out and grab Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong didn't want to fall, and he could shoot against the goalkeeper when he went over, but Carragher's strength was enough. Gao Xiaodong didn't rush over and was pulled to the ground by Carragher.

Beep!

The referee Weber's whistle sounded, and he pointed to the penalty spot decisively, ran over and took out a yellow card to warn Carragher.

Although Manchester United has now led two goals, scoring in the Double Red Club is of great significance. Rooney, who has always wanted to break the goal drought, walked towards the ball, Berbatov, who wanted to score a hat trick, also walked towards the ball, and Giggs, who has the first penalty power, also walked towards the ball.
