The double red at Old Trafford would be more intense in the second half.
And there was an improvement in the content of the technical and tactical collision.
In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Manchester United launched attacks from Aurelio's side five times. Twice they formed a threat to attack the goal, but they missed the goal by a hair's breadth.
This made Liverpool's defensive line begin to tilt towards this side.
And Liverpool also began to frequently use Raúl's crushing of Evans to create opportunities in the attack.
In the 57th minute of the game, Gerard sent a straight pass to Raúl in the front field. Raúl successfully reversed the offside position and headed the ball out.
In the 61st minute of the game, Manchester United attacked. Fletcher and Scholes cooperated in the middle of the front field and passed the ball to Nani's feet.
When the football reached Nani's feet, Liverpool's defensive line could not help but tense up. Aurelio was obviously unable to withstand Nani's personal charge. Just as the defensive line began to tilt towards this side, Nani quickly passed the ball back to Scholes' feet.
Scholes did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball diagonally!
The diagonal pass was targeted at Ryan Giggs on the left!
This caught Liverpool's rear defensive line off guard.
It was a diversion!
This time, Giggs dribbled the football and pretended to cut inside at the top corner of the penalty area. But he changed the direction of the end line in front of Johnson. After dribbling past Johnson, Giggs swung out a gap for the pass and he directly passed the ball across.
The football rolled to the feet of Rooney, who cut diagonally behind Carragher.
Rooney had a chance to directly kick the goal, but after observing Reina's movement to the side of the near post, Rooney swept the ball across the middle of the goal!
Berbatov beat Skrtel to the ball with the tip of his foot and poked the ball into the empty goal!
The Red Devils fans in the stands at Old Trafford were ecstatic!
The ball was in!
Manchester United was in the lead again!
"Berbatov scored a brace! The selfless Rooney provided the assist, and Manchester United played a wonderful teamwork. First, they put pressure on Liverpool's defensive line on the right flank, then quickly moved to the left flank, and then Ryan Giggs sent a wonderful pass to Rooney from the edge of the penalty area. Rooney was not greedy and created a chance for Berbatov to score an empty goal! "
"Haha, this is exactly what we talked about at halftime. Ferguson will definitely make targeted adjustments based on the performance of Liverpool's defensive line in the first half. Sure enough, although Manchester United's offensive in the second half did not receive a goal in return, it contained Liverpool's defensive line and caused chaos in Liverpool's defensive line. Then, they shifted their offensive and hit a fatal blow. A typical Manchester United style goal!"
Liverpool's football was a little depressing. The reason was not that they could not create a chance to shoot, but that their frontline was not very good. Their leading striker, Torres, was not in form.
Comain also saw this on the sidelines, but he had to give Torres more time in consideration of Liverpool's qualifications, past contributions, and future reliance.
After Liverpool kicked off again, they were still energetic and full of fighting spirit.
In the 66th minute of the game, the team created a very good opportunity in the front field.
Qin Xiong first got rid of Scholes' pressing in the front field with his individual ball control skills, and then slowly dribbled the ball to attract Fletcher and O 'Shea's defense.
He passed the ball through the gaps to Gerard, who rushed forward to the front of the penalty area in the middle.
After Raúl ran diagonally to contain Evans and Evra, Gerard only needed to defeat Vidic with Torres!
Torres pressed on the anti-offside line and plugged forward. Gerard sent out a straight pass. After the ball was sent out, Gerard immediately rushed forward. Vidic turned to chase Torres, and there was no one in front of Gerard to stop him.
At this time, as long as Torres crossed the ball to the penalty spot, Gerard could go up and kick the ball to break the goal.
But Torres directly kicked the goal when he faced Edwin van der Sar!
Edwin van der Sar was like a divine help. He once again blocked Torres's shot one-on-one, and he even pounced the ball out with one palm!
Gerard was furious!
After stopping, he turned his head and roared at Torres, "Open your eyes and look at your teammates' positions! Look at the scoreboard again. We're f * * king behind! "
Torres looked at Gerard in disappointment, as if he did not hear, or he did not have the confidence to argue with Gerard. After all, he did not score. If he scored, then he would naturally be the only one in the world!
Qin Xiong saw this scene and knew that the offensive style of the game had to be changed.
In the 71st minute of the game, Giggs passed the ball from the left side. The football was passed to the back point. Skrtel squeezed Berbatov away in the confrontation, and then he headed the ball to clear the siege.
Mascherano diverted the ball to the side on the penalty area line. Aurelio went forward to receive and passed the ball to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong looked at the situation in the middle as he moved the ball forward. He did not wait for Scholes to get close before he passed the ball across.
Then he cut diagonally into the middle of the front field. The football was kicked from behind by Alonso's feet to his running path.
At this time, the Manchester United team did not expect Liverpool's front line to play with the oppressive power of enemies at the gate!
Torres rushed forward in the middle in front of the penalty area, and Raúl also rushed to the right side of the middle. What about Gerard?
He rushed to the left side of the penalty area!
O 'Shea was probably still thinking about blocking Qin Xiong, so he did not return to the penalty area to defend, leading to a clear gap on his side in the penalty area.
At this time, Qin Xiong sent out a direct pass!
His goal was naturally to find Gerard.
When the football flew into Manchester United's penalty area, Gerard headed the ball over without anyone marking!
Edwin van der Sar rushed to the near corner of Gerard's goal at the first moment. He waited for Gerard to head the ball, but he did not expect the Red Army captain to jump and head the ball to the other side of the goal!
Torres watched the football fly over his head in the middle of the goal. He was in disbelief. He did not even look at the football. Instead, he looked at Gerard. His eyes were full of puzzlement. Why didn't he head the ball to me?
Torres thought he could hit the empty goal, but in Gerard's view, if he headed the ball to Torres, it might be rescued by Vidic. But if he headed the ball to Raúl in the distance, it would be different. Raúl was far more flexible than Torres, and Evans' defensive experience and strength were not as good as Vidic's.
Sure enough, Raúl was the first to grab the ball at the back and then jumped high to head the ball into the empty goal. Evans was a meter away from Raúl and did not interfere with Raúl at all!
"Liverpool equalizes the score again! Qin Xiong spurred the attack and went over the top to penetrate Manchester United's defensive line. Gerard's header on the left side of the penalty area assisted Raúl's header at the back to break the goal!
Raúl scored a brace. This will be his best individual performance since joining Liverpool. He is becoming the hero of Liverpool!
2: 2, it's really hard to say who will win! "
