After Gerard blasted the ball into the Manchester United goal, he roared and rushed to the corner flag area.
Anfield seemed to shake as the Red Army fans cheered ecstatically for Gerard's goal in the stands.
Gerard came to the sidelines in front of the camera and raised his hands. He stretched out three fingers on his left hand and four fingers on his right hand.
He added the two hands together and gestured the number "seven."
This was a demonstration to Manchester United: Liverpool's seven Champions League titles!
"Gerard breaks the goal! The Red Army captain sent the ball into the Manchester United goal in an exquisite team coordination!
The Red Army's offensive coordination in the front field was really smooth and pleasing to the eye.
We saw Qin Xiong's magic as he walked in front of the Manchester United penalty area and threaded the needle. When everyone focused on Qin Xiong, Liverpool suddenly changed their offensive focus. Gerard plugged in from the back row and combined with Suárez to form a one-on-one!
A picturesque team coordination!
Liverpool's current strength in positional play is not inferior to Barcelona's tiki-taka. "
Who was the strongest in positional play in European football?
There was no doubt that it was Barcelona, but Barcelona's reliance on passing control to wear down the opponent and tear apart the opponent's defense sometimes felt too one-dimensional.
Liverpool's side relied on Qin Xiong to flexibly change the direction of the attack between the forward line and the midfield. He was able to withdraw and release freely and his rhythm was fast and slow.
This allowed Liverpool to further improve their offensive strength on the basis of their past quick attacks.
But in the end, Manchester United still did not put on an extreme defensive posture.
If the Red Devils could put at least six players in the penalty area, Liverpool could only find other ways to create excellent offensive opportunities.
The Red Devils looked helplessly at the Liverpool players celebrating.
Ferguson had to admit that the combined strength between Liverpool and Manchester United was greater than last season!
After the restart of the game, Manchester United pursued speed in their offense.
They tried to use faster speed to disrupt Liverpool's rhythm.
But Ryan Giggs was old, really old. He was no longer the God of the left flank who was as fast as lightning on the field. Ashley Young on the right flank occasionally performed well, but he became depressed today.
Park Ji-sung's tough style of play was admirable, but he was not an excellent offensive organizer.
Rooney often faced the awkward situation of not having a place to pass the ball after he retreated.
If the ball was passed back, Liverpool's formation would gradually retreat and reverse the situation.
Manchester United went to play a positional game. Once they failed, it would be Liverpool's opportunity to attack quickly.
In any case, the Red Devils did not want to let Liverpool attack again.
As a result, Manchester United often had to hastily end their attacks outside the penalty area without the slightest threat.
It to Liverpool's Liverpool's goal was United's's and's's''s'.
In the first half of the match, Qin Xiong's long shot was blocked by De Gea's lateral save, allowing him to walk to the finishing line.
The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands applauded as they sent the players back to the locker room.
The Liverpool players walked into the players' tunnel with strong confidence.
In the locker room, Comain repeatedly ordered the players not to let their guard down in the second half.
"Even if we win this game, we're still behind our arch-rival Manchester United in the standings. We need to completely crush Manchester United's fighting spirit and drive in this game!"
Comain paid great attention to the team's morale and atmosphere, which he regarded as an important foundation for the battle between the two teams.
In the second half, Manchester United committed more and more fouls. They could not let Liverpool play a quicksilver offense in their own half of the field, so they could only use fouls to curb their opponents.
In the 56th minute of the game, Phil Jones shoveled Suarez behind the penalty area line, which earned him a red card!
Ferguson angrily walked to the side of the fourth official, protesting against the referee's decision.
He could accept Phil Jones giving Liverpool a penalty kick, but a red card?
After today's game against Liverpool, Manchester United would play the Manchester derby next weekend!
The referee still upheld the original decision. Phil Jones walked out of the field with his head down. He gave Liverpool a direct free kick on the edge of the penalty area.
Manchester United set up a human wall in the penalty area.
Qin Xiong stood in front of the football, and Baines was not far from him.
Qin Xiong knew that it would not be easy to play the ball because it was too close to the goal. Manchester United's human wall would certainly not jump for him to push the space under his feet after the human wall took off.
However, Liverpool was still prepared in training to deal with such a situation.
After the referee blew the whistle, Qin Xiong rushed towards the football. Just as he arrived in front of the football, he ran horizontally to the side of the human wall. Looking at the goal in front of him, he already had an extremely wide field of vision.
Baines, who ran up behind him, passed the ball horizontally to Qin Xiong.
Manchester United's human wall and defenders rushed out collectively.
Qin Xiong did not wait for the Manchester United players to get close before he sent a heavy kick to the goal!
The football flew diagonally into the penalty area like a bolt of lightning!
Manchester United's full back, Chris Smalling, was hit by the football on the outside of his calf.
De Gea flew out to the left, but he turned his head in mid-air to look at his original position.
He stared dumbfoundedly as the football was deflected after being touched by Smalling, and flew into the goal from where he was previously standing!
"Qin Xiong scored a brace! An exquisite combination of free kicks!
Liverpool's research on attacking tactics was impressive. No one would have thought that they would make such a big deal out of free kicks.
After all, Qin Xiong himself had excellent footwork for free kicks.
This time, his cooperation with Baines tore apart Manchester United's defense.
Chris Smalling was hit by Qin Xiong's football in the penalty area. He did not make a move to intercept it at all. The football hit his leg and deflected into Manchester United's goal!
The Spanish rookie goalkeeper, De Gea, was helpless. But this is reality, especially in the face of Liverpool's strong offensive suppression. Anything can happen. "
Ferguson walked back to the technical area and sat down. Manchester United brought on two players in a three-goal deficit.
Ryan Giggs and Ashley Young came off the field, and Hernandez and Welbeck came on.
Rooney withdrew to play in the midfield, and Park Ji-sung and Fletcher played as the double defensive midfielders.
Manchester United was going to play high up!
The game started to become one-sided. Liverpool often pressed Manchester United's defensive line with positional play, but Manchester United would kick the ball to the front field.
Hernandez and Welbeck did not have the advantage in the scramble. Liverpool's defensive sweep in the backfield did not give them a chance in the front field.
On the contrary, Liverpool's offensive efficiency was getting higher and higher.
In the 74th minute of the game, Baines and Qin Xiong cooperated on the left to break through Smalling's defensive zone and crossed the ball from the bottom.
Suárez cut in diagonally behind Ferdinand and grabbed the front to shoot, sending the ball from the inside of the near post into Manchester United's goal!
The score on the scoreboard became 4: 0!
The Red Devils were definitely going to suffer a crushing defeat at Anfield!
