The globally watched English derby allowed the world to see the difference in strength between the former English football overlord Manchester United and the restored king Liverpool.
The Red Devils fans felt sorry for Ferguson in the stands, but they did not blame Ferguson. After all, Sir Alex had brought them countless honors. They would only blame the Glazers for the Red Devils not being able to lift their heads in front of their arch-rivals. The main culprit was the Glazers!
Liverpool was still attacking wildly in the last 15 minutes of the game. Comain brought off Mascherano and brought on Cabaye, who had increased his control in the middle and front of the field.
Liverpool's attacks came in waves. Ferguson's Hernandez and Welbeck could not play to their strengths on the field. They could not snatch the ball in the front of the field. Liverpool tore Manchester United's formation to pieces with their powerful attacks.
In the 87th minute of the game, Johnson came up from the right flank and went down after a wall combination with Gerard. He chose to pass the ball back to the top of the arc of the penalty area. Qin Xiong was sandwiched by Fletcher and Park Ji-sung at this point.
Rooney was so irritable that he wanted to kill someone behind him. Whether it was intentional or not, Qin Xiong missed the ball!
Cabaye rushed up from behind and used his foot to head the ball forward and quickly rushed into the penalty area. When he reached the edge of the penalty area, he kicked a long shot.
De Gea hurriedly fell to the ground on the goal line to block. Although his palm touched the ball, the save slipped out of his hand!
Suárez rushed forward and looked like he was going to make a follow-up shot. De Gea fell to the ground again to block Suárez's shooting angle, but he was stunned to see Suárez pass the ball horizontally!
Kuyt rushed to the ground before Evans and slid the ball into the empty goal in front of him!
“5:0！ Liverpool is going crazy at Anfield! Manchester United, who had one less player, could only passively defend in the second half of the game.
The result of this game showed us the difference in strength between Liverpool and Manchester United. The Red Army's comprehensive strength was too strong!
We can say that Liverpool is now a super team, but Manchester United is only one of the top teams, and that is with Ferguson in charge. Once Ferguson is gone, what kind of results can such a Red Devils play in European football?
In any case, today's fiasco was bound to be a wake-up call for Manchester United's top management.
In an era where the powerhouses in European football are spending a lot of money to strengthen themselves, if the Red Devils don't spend money, they will only get further and further away from the championship. "
The Liverpool players celebrated unscrupulously at Anfield and humiliated their arch-rivals, Manchester United.
Ferguson sat in the coach's seat with an ashen face, as if he was already numb.
He would never have thought that Manchester United, who had been in high spirits since the start of the new season, would be utterly defeated at Anfield!
Now he could only think about how to eliminate the negative impact of this game so that the team's morale would not be depressed.
In any case, Manchester United was still two points ahead of Liverpool in the standings!
Not to mention the Manchester derby in the next round!
It was another cruel battle between arch-rivals.
At the end of the game, Qin Xiong picked up the ball on the spot and then kicked the ball towards the stands.
"The game is over. The final score of the English derby at Anfield is 5: 0!
Liverpool slaughtered the Red Devils and Manchester United at home. The game could be said to be one-sided. After the Red Army got off to a fantastic start, they used skillful and strong teamwork to constantly put pressure on Manchester United's defensive line. Manchester United's comprehensive defensive strength was not as good as before. The defensive line was repeatedly exposed to Liverpool's crazy gunfire, and in the end, they suffered five bullets and were defeated at Anfield!
After this game, Liverpool narrowed the gap with Manchester United in the standings, but the gap with Manchester City still did not change.
But after watching this game, no one doubts that Liverpool is still the top favorite to win the Premier League this season! "
The Red Army players high-fived each other after the game to celebrate the victory of the game.
Since the start of the new season, after slaughtering Arsenal, the Red Army defeated Manchester United at Anfield!
This was a strong boost to the team's morale.
Everyone was still excited after walking into the players' tunnel. Compared to the disappointment of the Red Devils and Manchester United, the two teams had friction in the players' tunnel, which led to a small riot.
But it was only a verbal conflict and did not escalate to a physical conflict.
Qin Xiong said in high spirits during the post-game interview, "The team feels great now. We can beat Arsenal by a big score, and we can also beat Manchester United by a big score. People will say that Liverpool has no enemies now. In the past, Liverpool had enemies everywhere in Europe, in England. But I want to say that now we only have one enemy: ourselves! As long as we work hard to do our best, then no one can stop us from achieving success. Today was a very good game. I'm very happy that we won the English derby. "
In the post-game press conference, Ferguson faced pressure from all sides. He said that the crushing defeat to Liverpool was the worst defeat in his coaching career.
The mental blow to the Red Devils was unimaginable from the humiliating loss to their arch-rivals and the massacre-like score.
Ferguson commented on the team's performance and said, "No one qualified in this game. No Red Devils player can leave Anfield with their heads held high. They could have performed better, but maybe it was the good start to the new season that made them forget themselves. We have to change this in a short time. Next weekend, there is a derby waiting for us."
.....
