I am the king of football

Chapter 308: Resurrection

"As the game came to the final stage, Ferguson began to arrange substitutions for the team. Scholes came on as a substitute for Shinji Kagawa, and Butner came on as a substitute for Rafael. These were adjustments to the team's midfield and backcourt."

The three forwards each scored a goal, and the team's 3-1 victory made Ferguson very satisfied with his three forwards, so his substitutions were mainly targeted at his own midfield and backcourt players.

When Scholes came on as a substitute, Manchester United's formation was adjusted to 4123. The veteran played as the team's defensive midfielder and became another iron gate for the team's vertical defense.

Carrick and Cleverley stayed in the frontcourt. Considering that Cleverley himself is a midfielder who is better at defense than offense, Manchester United completely turned the direction to defense.

After a short break, the two teams stood on the field again, and some Liverpool players who had finally come out of the 2-goal lead of their opponents looked at the opponent's goal again.

Rogers, who had just been speechless on the sidelines, finally shouted loudly again and passed the tactics written on the note to the field through Sterling on the wing.

In fact, there is not much overall change. The Red Army, which has already established a tactic of high-pressure pressing and quick counterattack, is just required to fully utilize this tactic to the extreme.

Even if it is to create a set-piece opportunity, the ball must be pushed into the opponent's half. This is Rogers' final requirement.

As for how the team can equalize the score, that is the task of the players on the field. As the head coach, all he has in his hands are the chips to replace these main players in time if they can no longer hold on.

"After Liverpool kicked off, they quickly advanced the ball into Manchester United's half. The last 30 minutes of the second half were very bad memories for them. Now they are eager to equalize. Gerrard made a long shot!"

Soon after the game resumed, Liverpool, eager to equalize the score, made a shot. With the morale of other players being greatly hit, their captain Gerrard took the initiative to stand up.

After receiving the pass from Suarez with his back to the goal, he shot directly. Although the ball lacked power, its accuracy was still very high. De Gea also leaped forward and saved the ball from the side of the goal.

Then, in the next corner attack, Gerrard also took the lead. When Borini's corner kick flew into the penalty area and was blocked by Ferdinand, the Red Army leader once again made a volley.

But this time the ball just brushed the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, but that was enough.

"We still have time! We still have a chance!!!"

Never give up hope, always move forward, you will never walk alone. This is the spirit of the Liverpool team and is also written into the team song. When Gerrard, who made two wonderful shots in a row, raised his arms and shouted on the court, the Red Army's suppressed morale finally recovered completely.

"understand!"

Following their leader's quick retreat, the entire Liverpool team looked at De Gea who took the ball from the ball boy. There was still a long time before the end of the game, and the two-goal disadvantage seemed nothing to them at the moment.

As their opponents, the Manchester United players on the field were definitely the first to feel the changes in Liverpool. When the Red Devils' attack broke out with De Gea's hand-thrown ball, they were fiercely blocked.

For a moment, it was no longer realistic for Carrick to organize the ball forward alone. He could only choose to pass the ball back and cooperate with Scholes.

But this was obviously not enough against a Liverpool team that had boosted its morale again and issued an order to move forward.

In the 80th minute of the game, Liverpool created another opportunity by relying on their unyielding will and constantly and fiercely competing with Manchester United players for the ball.

"Gerrard stole the ball from Carrick's feet. During this period, Gerrard set an example both offensively and defensively."

The ball was passed diagonally to Joe Allen. Perhaps he had not yet adapted to the pressure of such a big game. The young player had a very low presence in this game. However, at this moment, he actually created an opportunity with the ball. "Joe Allen dribbled forward from the left, Scholes came towards him, and played a two-on-one pass with Suarez, then passed the ball to Sterling, who kicked the ball directly!"

"Shu~"

"Oh!"

With four consecutive passes, Liverpool's attack was quite fast in the final stage. When Sturridge headed the ball on the right side of the penalty area, Ferdinand, who was responsible for marking him, only had time to jump up quickly and move his body away.

"Boom~"

"The ball was blocked by Ferdinand! Wait, the referee blew the foul whistle, handball!"

A yellow card was shown to Ferdinand, who looked innocent. With the reminder of the linesman, the referee determined that when Ferdinand blocked the ball just now, his arms were outstretched and he blocked the shot with his right hand.

"Let's look at the replay. Hey, it's true. Ferdinand's right hand was not close to his torso and there was no sign of active swing. This penalty was very accurate."

"Liverpool penalty!"

In the 1nd minute of the game, Liverpool was awarded a penalty kick, and they had their first chance to equalize the score after falling behind 3-.

"Gerrard walked to the penalty spot without hesitation. Yes, as the captain and core of the team, he should shoulder such a heavy responsibility at such a moment."

As a Liverpool fan, Zhan Jun was very excited watching this scene. Gerrard and the former Liverpool were the key to many Liverpool fans falling in love with this team. At this moment, seeing the old Gerrard still as charming as he was when he was young, how could he not be excited?

"Whoo~"

With the ball on the penalty spot, Gerrard took a deep breath and looked at De Gea in front of the goal. The distance from the twelve-yard spot is more of a psychological test, and it depends on who has a bigger heart.

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded the next moment, and Gerrard started to run. The short two steps seemed so far, and finally he put his left foot on the ground and kicked the ball hard with his right foot.

"Oh!"

"Shoot! Spoon, it's a spoon penalty! Gerrard took a spoon penalty!"

De Gea's body had already flown out as Gerrard's right foot pulled out. When he realized that his opponent's ankle was twisted and the penalty was a spoon penalty, it was already too late.

"It's in! It's in! Such a bold penalty kick resulted in a valuable goal. Liverpool changed the score to 2-3. They adjusted quickly after the opponent scored two goals in a row. I think this is the spirit of the Red Army!"

For a moment, the sky of Liverpool became dark and bright again, and hope reappeared in the eyes of every Liverpool citizen.
