    force!  With the whistle of referee Webber, the crimson battle between Liverpool and Manchester United finally kicked off.  The Manchester United team that kicked off first did not seem to be excited today. After the kick-off, they were not aggressive in pressing forward. Except for forwards Tevez and Rooney, everyone else stayed in their own half. Even the forwards who always like to show off  Ronaldo also stayed in his own half, which was really confusing.  The commentator at the scene asked puzzledly: "Does Manchester United really just want to maintain a draw today? Or does Sir Alex Ferguson have any new tricks?" Benitez was also confused. He and Ferguson had not played against each other for a day or two.  Now, I know Ferguson, a stubborn and arrogant old man, very well. He is by no means a person who is willing to admit defeat. He must be playing so conservatively now, and there must be another conspiracy. However, Benitez is not worried, as long as Liverpool can exert its own strength.  level, score goals as early as possible, and nothing Ferguson can do can do anything to him.  Liverpool is playing at home and has just won the Club World Cup. The mentality of the players and fans is high. Although it cannot be said that Manchester United is not taken seriously, the eagerness to win definitely exists.  Now Manchester United played conservatively after the opening, and Liverpool's players immediately attacked and started pressing in the frontcourt, forcing Manchester United to hand over the ball.  Manchester United has always played impact football, fierce and direct, which is the same style as Liverpool, but today Manchester United seems a bit soft. Facing Liverpool's pressing, Manchester United is not in a hurry to kick the ball out, but tries its best to kick the ball out.  Pass the ball to mobilize Liverpool, and only kick the ball out when the situation is more dangerous.  At this time, Benitez also saw Ferguson¡¯s purpose of not letting Ronaldo pass halftime. Is it to allow Ronaldo to strengthen control of the midfield and defend and counterattack?  right!  The old guy Ferguson just wanted to play defensive counterattack. Benitez couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought about this. Manchester United has always been fierce and violent. Letting control the ball and counterattack is no better than letting a bear embroider. Benitez  There is also some pride. Being able to force Ferguson to be like this is enough to show how good his team is, and of course it is enough to show how good Benitez is.  Although Manchester United did not attack violently after the opening, once they grabbed the ball in the midfield, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack as quickly as possible. When attacking, they did not invest many troops, mainly with Rooney, Tevez and C  Luo's iron triangle is the main one. These three are all good at dribbling. Without fouling, one or two players will not be able to steal the ball from them. If the three of them counterattack, especially if there is a lot of space in the backcourt, they will definitely not be as powerful.  Investing six or seven players is smaller.  Although Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez counterattacked very sharply, Liverpool and Manchester United have played more than one game. Both sides know the basics and the defense is very targeted. It is not easy for Manchester United to easily break through Liverpool's goal.  Of course, it is very difficult for Liverpool to easily open Manchester United's goal.  The tug-of-war between the two sides has been going on for a long time. Manchester United is heavy in the backcourt. It is difficult for Liverpool's offense to break through Manchester United's tough and thick defense. Manchester United is not a team that is good at defensive counterattacks. It has little training and is not formed.  The counterattack tactics mainly rely on the personal abilities of Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo. This is not a fatal threat to Liverpool, who are better at it. Neither team can do anything about the other for the time being.  Ferguson looked at the Vacheron Constantin watch in his hand. Exactly 20 minutes had passed since the game. He looked at the electronic scoreboard again. The score was still 0:0. Ferguson smiled meaningfully. Although the score was still tied, Ferguson knew his purpose.  Realizing it step by step, if this continues, as long as Liverpool does not score first, then he has great hope of winning this game.  Thinking of Liverpool scoring first, Ferguson's eyes involuntarily turned to Chen Yu on the field. When he saw this Chinese, Ferguson frowned. There is no doubt that this is a genius, but if this genius is in the opponent's camp,  If so, then this is a hated genius. Originally, Manchester United had the upper hand in the battle with Liverpool, and Ferguson was also gradually achieving the goal of knocking Liverpool off the throne and surpassing it, but since this Chinese came  When he arrived at Liverpool, everything changed. The Chinese forward used his amazing goal-scoring ability to win the double crown for Liverpool in one fell swoop, and led Liverpool to completely suppress Manchester United in the dialogue between the two sides. Today, Ferguson formulated a plan to defeat Liverpool, but  The key to the plan is that Liverpool cannot score first, and the key to whether Liverpool can score first is whether it can guard Chen Yu.  </> I hope Chen Yu¡¯s mind is not on the game today. After all, tomorrow is the day when the World Footballer Award will be awarded. Ferguson secretly comforted himself.  In fact, Chen Yu didn¡¯t think too much during the game. Of course he is looking forward to tomorrow¡¯s World Footballer Award Party. He also wants to defeat Manchester United beautifully today and bring luck tomorrow, but he won¡¯t always do it.I am always thinking about it, but today the distance between Manchester United's midfield and defense is relatively close, which does not give the forwards much room to move. Chen Yu is the target of Manchester United's focus, and he rarely gets it.  The ball, let alone the chance to shoot.  In the first half, Manchester United and Liverpool were full of energy and concentration, and they did not give their opponents too many opportunities. The two sides only had five shots on goal. There was no chance to score, and the score of 0:0 was never achieved.  Change, when referee Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the players of Manchester United and Liverpool were not satisfied with the score, and walked back to the locker room one by one with unconvinced faces.  Although both Ferguson and Benitez were not satisfied with the lack of goals in the first half, they did not concede any goals and did not give their opponents any chances defensively. This made the two head coaches very satisfied, so they had no reason to  Taking the risk of making substitutions during the halftime break. In a strong dialogue, the outcome is often decided by one goal. Big scores are rare. They all want to play again with this starting lineup. After all, this is  The starting lineup was carefully designed before the game, and no flaws were found during the half-game. Only when such a lineup is unable to knock on the opponent's goal, and the opponent shows flaws, will they consider substitutions for the final shot.  attack.  After the start of the second half, Liverpool was still attacking fiercely, but Manchester United's defensive strategy worked well. It was difficult for Liverpool's offense to tear apart the double defense line built by Manchester United's midfield and defense. Many attacks were harassing each other.  It wasn¡¯t until the 58th minute of the game that Liverpool got a real chance to score.  Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and was intercepted by Riise. Riise made a long pass. Gerrard caught the ball and quickly passed it into the penalty area. Van der Sar rushed to get the ball, but there was a lack of communication between him and the defender, and his own  Teammate Vidic collided with each other. Chen Yu cleverly grabbed the spot and headed the ball towards the empty goal. However, this almost must-goal was missed by Evra on the goal line.  Chen Yu's missed shot this time was a big blow to Liverpool's morale. Liverpool played a little impatiently afterwards and lacked the patience to organize at the front of the penalty area. They used Riise, Gerrard, Alonso and Chen Yu more.  Liverpool's long-range shot is the strongest in the Premier League, but if the goalkeeper is in good condition and the opponent is constantly interfering, it is still very difficult to score a goal with long-range shot.  After 65 minutes of the game, Liverpool's physical fitness began to decline. The impact of the Club World Cup was slowly reflected. The players were not as active as before. In addition, due to the impact of physical fitness, Liverpool players were less focused and made mistakes.  increase.  Benitez watched anxiously and had to make continuous substitutions to increase the vitality on the field. After Babel and Sissoko replaced Benayoun and Alonso, Liverpool's running ability improved, but there was no midfield organization.  With the ability to penetrate, the offense can only rely on long shots and crosses from the wing.  At this time, Ferguson had a proud smile on his face. This situation was exactly what he wanted to see. His plan was to wear out Liverpool's physical strength and fight Liverpool in the end. Although he could not guarantee victory,  The hope of winning is definitely greater.  "Go forward! Run more aggressively! Attack more boldly!" Ferguson ran to the sidelines and waved to the players, asking them to attack boldly.  Manchester United's players finally attacked, and the three lines moved forward together, at least ten meters ahead of the first half. However, due to the decline in physical fitness, Liverpool had lost control of the midfield and could only retreat to their own half.  Fight back.  Liverpool¡¯s current counterattack is different from Manchester United¡¯s counterattack. Manchester United¡¯s counterattack is the result of active choice and is planned and conspiratorial, while Liverpool¡¯s half-time counterattack was forced by Manchester United. The mentality of the two is completely different.  Liverpool's defense is still very good, which is also the basis for their dominance in the Premier League. Even if their offensive power is lost, their defense can make their opponents helpless. Manchester United's fierce attack did not get a good chance to score, but instead used counterattacks.  After that, Liverpool had more chances to shoot than before.  But just like the outcome of most strong dialogues depends on luck, this time the strong dialogue between Liverpool and Manchester United was also influenced by luck.  In the 77th minute of the game, Manchester United took a corner kick. Giggs took a corner kick on the right side of Liverpool. Previously, Manchester United's corner kicks were all played in the penalty area. This time Giggs suddenly changed the passing method and passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area.  This pass caught Liverpool's defenders off guard, so that when Rooney stopped the ball on the edge of the penalty area and shot, no one interfered at all.  Rooney fired a low shot, but it was too late for the Liverpool players to block it. Only goalkeeper Reina could save Liverpool. However, when Reina flew to save, Rooney's ball hit Tevye who was standing in the small penalty area.  Si changed his line and flew to the other side of the goal.  &nbsp;Reina had already pounced, and it was completely impossible for him to change direction. He could only watch the ball fly into the net from behind him.  1:0 Tevez¡¯s reflection unexpectedly helped Manchester United take the lead.  This was an unexpected goal. After the goal, both Liverpool and Manchester United were stunned. It is estimated that Manchester United itself did not expect it.  After a moment of daze, the Manchester United people immediately went crazy. All the players ran towards Rooney and Tevez and crushed them to the turf.  The few Manchester United fans at the scene also went crazy. They jumped up, waved their arms towards the court and shouted Rooney's name. They had not yet figured out who scored the goal.  Ferguson was more excited than anyone else. The old man even rushed into the stadium to congratulate the team on their goal.  The commentator at the scene also said that although Ferguson's arrangements were very thoughtful and waited until Liverpool's physical exhaustion and lack of concentration, Manchester United's luck was indeed good. Without good luck, it would not be easy to defeat Liverpool.  Moreover, Manchester United took a certain risk by pressing forward in such a big way. Once Liverpool counterattacked and scored, the result would be difficult to predict.  Benitez's face was heavy and he was very anxious about the situation on the field. Although Liverpool had fallen behind before, but now Liverpool no longer has the physical ability to counterattack. Even if they are only behind by one goal, if they can't equalize the score as soon as possible, maybe one goal will be enough.  Can lose games.  Now that Liverpool has no retreat, Benitez decisively made another substitution, replacing Sissoko with forward Crouch who had just come on the field, and made a final push in the last ten minutes.  Without physical fitness, it is useless to play anyone, not to mention Liverpool's current mentality has become a problem. In less than fifteen minutes, Liverpool stormed around Manchester United's penalty area, but Manchester United's defense was very tenacious. Cristiano Ronaldo,  Rooney and Tevez's counterattacks were also sharp. Liverpool was unable to fully commit to the attack. In the end, they could only swallow the bitter fruit of losing at home.
