"Raúl breaks the goal! Raúl equalizes the score for Liverpool! A straight pass from Qin Xiong full of imagination! Andy, when we were talking about Torres's squandering opportunity, Qin Xiong must have heard it too. He decisively chose to use Torres as a cover and sent a wonderful pass to Raúl to assist. Oh my God, this pass is beautiful. It's as if he was looking for a route to tear apart Manchester United's heart in the gaps, and he did it. "
"That's right. Even the trajectory of the football's rolling is so pleasing to the eye. It's close to the turf and quickly rolled into the penalty area with an external spin arc. This is the exquisite assist method that Qin Xiong used to perform when he played for Arsenal!"
"1: 1, Liverpool equalizes the score. Let's see how the game develops next."
After Raúl broke the goal, he began to run wildly around the sidelines of the Theatre of Dreams to celebrate. The momentum created by this exciting Premier League match was far greater than that of the La Liga match.
Raúl thoroughly felt this after coming to the Premier League!
The Liverpool players celebrated. But after the celebration, Qin Xiong put his arm around Torres's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Fernando, calm down when you seize the opportunity. Don't be too impulsive. Observe the situation more. We will create a lot of opportunities for you."
Torres turned his head to look at Qin Xiong. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes that was hidden. He nodded in silence.
Qin Xiong patted Torres on the back and ran back to his own half of the field.
Manchester United restarted the game.
It seemed that they had discovered that Liverpool's left wing, Aurelio's defense was softer than Johnson's right wing. At least Johnson had been honed and improved. He was definitely more confrontational than Aurelio, which made Manchester United start to focus more on attacking Aurelio's side.
In the 38th minute of the game, Nani and Scholes cooperated on this side. Nani looked like he was going to cut forward, then suddenly stopped and turned into the middle to cut horizontally. Aurelio was shaken and watched Nani run past him. Scholes' pass came on time. Nani passed the ball short to Rooney's feet in the penalty area under Mascherano's pressure.
Rooney took the initiative to run to receive the ball. After a step, he turned and shot the ball towards the goal.
Reina made a save, but he did not touch the football. He looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar!
The sighs of the Red Devils fans echoed in the Old Old stadium.
Koeman's expression turned ugly as he watched from the sidelines.
It was clear that the defensive system was never an individual performance, but a chain reaction.
When Aurelio was unable to do his job in the defensive zone, it would bring more pressure to the other teammates!
The search for a new full-back could not be delayed any longer.
Liverpool once again played a threatening offensive in the 44th minute of the game.
Qin Xiong received Gerard's mid-range penetration on the left wing and rushed to the end line before O 'Shea to control the ball.
He was very close to the end line, but he still dared to break through in the direction of the end line. He then dribbled the ball close to the end line and dribbled into the penalty area.
When Vidic was forced to block Qin Xiong, Torres was unmarked. Qin Xiong naturally passed the ball to Torres's feet.
But Torres used his left foot to push the shot, but it deviated from the far end of the goal!
Qin Xiong saw the way Torres handled the ball. Maybe Torres was a little out of form and did not feel good about shooting, so Qin Xiong did not say much. The most important thing in a team was tolerance and understanding.
"The first half of the game is over. This game was more intense and exciting than expected. Liverpool missed a lot of chances, and Manchester United also did not grasp some good chances. I don't know if it was because of the English derby, but both teams seemed to have problems with their defense."
"Manchester United has never been conservative at home. This is the tradition of the Red Devils. So, when Liverpool chose to confront Manchester United head-on, the tone of the game was set. The pace was fast, the offense and defense were swift, and there was a situation of attacking each other. But in terms of defense, we can say that Manchester United's defense has a big problem. O 'Shea and Evans are not absolutely reassuring players, especially in this game. Liverpool also has problems on their side. Aurelio's decline in standard will be frequently exploited by Manchester United. I believe the second half will be interesting to watch. Comain and Ferguson will definitely take advantage of the opponent's weakness to pursue and attack fiercely! "
Andy Gray's prediction did not fall short.
After walking into the locker room, Liverpool and Manchester United were adjusting their offense to take advantage of the opponent's exposed flaws.
In the second half, both sides changed sides and fought again.
Liverpool took the lead. In the 51st minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly came to the middle of the front field, received Raúl's return pass, and blasted a long shot!
The football went straight to the bottom right corner of the Manchester United goal. Edwin van der Sar pounced to the extreme before he blocked the ball with his palm. After Evra cleared the siege, the football fell to the feet of Alonso in the midfield.
Liverpool quickly launched a second attack, and Alonso diverted the ball to the feet of Johnson on the right side.
Johnson raised his leg at a 45-degree angle on the flank and the football flew straight to the back of the goal. Torres was about to snatch the ball, unmarked, but he seemed to be a beat slower. His whole body flew out to use a shovel shot to shoot, but he only arrived after the football flew past his eyes!
Torres lay on the turf in front of the Manchester United goal. He could hear the disappointed sighs of the Liverpool fans and the humiliating shouts of the Manchester United fans in the nearby stands.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
He wanted to score a goal, he wanted to score a goal!
He wanted to score a goal more than ever!
The outside world was right about one thing. He was already a Grand Slam player, and he had all the heavyweight team honors!
But what about personal honors?
He had not even won the league's best striker once!
Not to mention the European Golden Boot and the Champions League's best striker.
He was a striker, a world-class striker that everyone knew!
And who was the biggest competitor for personal honors in front of him?
It had to be Qin Xiong in the team!
So, when Qin Xiong reminded him of some things, he had a different idea in mind.
He wanted to prove himself!
I am Liverpool's best striker!
On the basis of team honors, Torres began to attack personal honors!
Manchester United's offense began to concentrate on Aurelio's side, which made it very difficult for Aurelio. The midfield playmaker, Scholes, frequently transferred the offense to his side, which made him overwhelmed.
Originally, because Qin Xiong was in front of Aurelio, it was impossible to ask Qin Xiong to kill in the offense and conscientiously defend. Aurelio was under a lot of pressure. Last season, because the midfield configuration had Kuyt on the other side to contribute a little more to the defense, Mascherano and Alonso had more energy to make up for the defense on Aurelio's side. Now, without Kuyt, Aurelio's defensive flaw was further magnified!
