Facing the deafening boos coming from the Old Trafford stadium in the Theatre of Dreams.
Qin Xiong stood before the penalty spot.
De Gea, whose hair was in a mess due to the scuffle in the passageway, stood solemnly before the goal line.
Before the referee blew the whistle, Qin Xiong looked at the bottom left corner of the goalpost, before looking at the top right corner.
De Gea stared at Qin Xiong, trying to find a clue from Qin Xiong's expression. Where will he shoot the ball?
After the referee blew the whistle.
Qin Xiong ran up, looking as though he was about to send a powerful kick into the goal.
De Gea took a risk, betting on the bottom right corner of the goalpost!
He believed that Qin Xiong's gaze was definitely deceptive, as it would not be the bottom left corner, nor the top right corner!
He had guessed correctly!
Qin Xiong did not shoot the ball in the direction that he was looking at earlier.
However, after De Gea rushed forward, his messy hairstyle was just like his heart: a complete mess!
The ball floated into the air, forming a small parabola within the penalty area.
Spoon penalty!
The ball fell into the net from the middle.
After falling to the ground, De Gea crawled up and angrily kicked the ball out of the goalpost.
After breaking the goalpost, Qin Xiong stood in his original position and surveyed the entire stadium, with his right index finger placed in front of his mouth!
Shut up!
However, the boos grew even louder.
"Spoon penalty! We're not unfamiliar with the spoon penalty! Qin Xiong has taken quite a number of penalty kicks in his professional career. Although the spoon penalty can't be counted with one's fingers, it still left a deep impression on him. This time, De Gea failed to make the correct save, as he made an error in judgement.
The defending champions, Liverpool, lead 1: 0 in this away match! "
After the match resumed, the Red Devils immediately launched a fierce offensive. However, the rhythm of the match did not change.
Both teams were fiercely competing in terms of muscle strength.
In the 27th minute of the match, Skrtel was tackled by Mascherano in the front court. He turned around and immediately fouled Mascherano. Mascherano was pulled to the ground and the referee showed a yellow card to Skrtel.
"Skrtel's comeback will be helpful to Manchester United, but I have to admit that he is getting old. He is already a retired player. Now that he has returned to this intense battlefield, he is no longer suitable."
"Jamie, you'd better watch your mouth."
"Gary, what's wrong? You don't want to accept reality? Then why did you retire? "
In the 31st minute of the game, Carrick tackled Suárez to the ground after he received Qin Xiong's cross pass in front of the penalty area. However, the referee did not say anything. He thought that Carrick's tackle this time was very clean, which made Liverpool very unhappy.
Five minutes later, Giggs received Evra's pass on the left flank and dribbled forward. Johnson came straight up and also shoveled. Giggs deftly pulled the ball with his feet and dodged before continuing to dribble forward. After arriving at the edge of the penalty area, Giggs saw the situation in the penalty area and passed the ball.
The football landed at a point far away from the penalty area.
Welbeck leaped high here to prepare for a header, but Thiago Silva was one step ahead and cleared the ball with a header.
The football that was cleared out fell into Baines' defensive zone. He had just taken control of the football when he was tangled up by Valencia.
Baines hurriedly passed the ball to the front field.
However, the ball was intercepted by Carrick.
After the successful interception, Carrick immediately sent the ball to Scholes' feet in the midfield.
Scholes stopped the ball and dodged Gerard's tackle. Then, he accurately stuck the ball close to the ground and sent the ball straight into the penalty area.
Rooney cut diagonally into the penalty area and suddenly stopped in front of Skrtel to change the direction of the ball.
After he swayed out of the space to shoot, he volleyed the ball into the top right corner of Liverpool's goal!
Reina was helpless against the ball!
The Theatre of Dreams' Old Trafford cheered thunderously. Rooney roared and rushed to celebrate, as if announcing the magic of Manchester United!
"Manchester United equalizes the score! Rooney's goal! When the game was overly emotional instead of rational, Liverpool also lost control of the game! Baines' mistake in the pass was fatal. Carrick, Scholes, and Rooney completed a wonderful fast attack between the three of them. Rooney calmly kicked the ball and shot in the penalty area to show his strength!
1: 1, the English derby should be even more exciting next! "
After Manchester United scored the equalizer, the Liverpool team's anger burned even brighter.
When the match resumed, Qin Xiong sent a volley from outside the penalty area to test De Gea. Following which, Gerrard rushed into the penalty area to assist Suárez, before sending a volley to the side.
Manchester United's side was also constantly preparing for an attack.
This was a typical Premier League game!
The confrontation was fierce, and the fans criticized it for being rough, making a lot of mistakes. In addition, it was a straightforward play and a blood-boiling confrontation!
In the 43rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly pulled back to receive Alonso's pass from the side. He made a move to cut inside, which gave Rafael a fright.
Rafael, who was frightened, immediately retreated. He did not expect Qin Xiong to do the same thing as him. He pulled the ball back, adjusted his position, and then sent a 45-degree pass out.
In the penalty area, Suárez and Gerard were surrounded by Manchester United's defensive line. They basically had no chance.
However, Qin Xiong's wide arc pass was not aimed at them.
When the football fell to the ground at the far end of the penalty area, an unexpected player appeared there!
Glen Johnson.
Liverpool's right back charged into Manchester United's penalty area. After stopping the ball, he immediately completed an earth-shattering shot!
The football went from the inside of the Manchester United's goalpost to the dead corner!
De Gea could only look up to the sky and sigh. There was nothing he could do!
"Wow! Liverpool is in the lead once again!
It's actually Johnson who charged into Manchester United's penalty area. It's really hard to imagine!
Let's look at the scoring process again. Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, including Carrick, Manchester United protected the fan-shaped area in front of the goal very well. However, there was a lot of space at the far end of the penalty area.
Johnson quietly charged into the penalty area to receive Qin Xiong's pass and shot the goal!
Qin Xiong's pass was too beautiful. It was a textbook passing vision! "
Johnson rarely scored goals. Of course, if a full back could score goals frequently, he should play as a winger.
Therefore, when he was able to score in this English derby, he was unusually excited. He laughed wildly and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate his highlight with his teammates.
Comain nodded secretly on the sidelines, while Ferguson was somewhat helpless.
Sir Alex thought that if the game became irrational, Liverpool would have a high chance of losing the game.
Because in such an open and disorderly game, the Red Devils would have more chances than facing a rational and terrifying Liverpool!
However, he did not expect the Red Army to be so powerful when they went crazy!
The first half of the game ended.
The intense and unrestrained English derby temporarily ended with the Red Army leading the Red Devils by 2: 1 in the away game.
