Ferguson hates Manchester City!
When Manchester United visited Anfield to challenge Liverpool in the FA Cup, the semifinal of Liverpool vs Manchester City League Cup was held every three days.
Ferguson naturally hopes that Manchester City can consume Liverpool to the maximum extent!
And the result?
Alonso, Gerard and Qin Xiong didn’t play a game, and Liverpool seemed to have won a game that didn’t cross the rubicon.
This made Ferguson angry and ridiculed Manchester City for inexplicably losing the game at Anfield on the eve of the FA Cup fourth round.
Coleman, on the other hand, adjusted the overall state of Liverpool well and arranged the players to play reasonably in the strategic planning.
Maximize the use of resources in hand.
When Manchester United came to Anfield in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Liverpool are still in the 4312 formation, but it looks very different from a game.
Goalkeeper Reina
Defender Baines Tiago Silva Agbaines
Midfielder Tiaote Alonso Gerard Mascherano
Striker Raul Qin Xiong
The midfield defense was handed over to Tiaote and Javier Mascherano. Alonso, Gerard and Qin Xiong were the central axis of the attack organization. Raul partnered with him to attack the flank attack, which was naturally handed over to the fullback.
The defensive quality of Manchester United’s defense line is getting worse and worse with the natural disintegration of Dinander and Nemanja Vidic, and the weakness of midfield is also obvious.
Liverpool occupy the home court and kill the quartet at Anfield!
Ferguson expected Liverpool to have at least physical and mental problems before the game, but after Manchester City consumed Liverpool, or after the reasonable rotation of Liverpool, it was a vibrant red army in front of the Red Devils.
In the 21st minute of the game, Alonso’s backcourt was exquisite. Raul gave the ball to the back in front of the penalty area. Gerrard inserted it obliquely in the penalty area. Gerrard swept the ball to the back of the goal.
Get rid of Evans’ defense. Qin Xiong pushes the ball into the halfcourt at the back point.
Liverpool scored the first goal, and Qin Xiong was out of control.
Before the end of halftime, he crossed the ball on the left side outside the penalty area and then volleyed the football without a spin, like a shell hitting the corner of Manchester United’s goal near the post.
Degea can watch the ball and sigh.
Manchester United fought back at halftime, which gave Liverpool more opportunities for fast break and counterattack.
In the 63 rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong retreated to meet Baines’ ball at the midfield line. He made a longdistance attack
First, get rid of Park Jisung’s forced snatch, then let Carrick slip to the ground in the acceleration and change direction of the ball, and then stepped on a bicycle and shook Evans in front of the penalty area, making Evans’s center of gravity move wrongly and entering the penalty area. After Qin Xiong skillfully pushed the ball into the right corner of the goal.
Degea roared at the defenders!
The season is getting better and better, and the Spanish goalkeeper accepted that the team’s defense line was so fragile!
Ferguson sighed naively on the sidelines.
In the past, there were players in Manchester United who could do this, and that was Ronaldo.
But now there are no such players in Manchester United.
Qin Xiong, who played a longdistance attack and scored three goals, was worshipped by Red Army fans at Anfield.
Considering that there was still a league game in three days, Liverpool slowed down the pace of the game after leading by three goals, and Manchester United did not rise up at Anfield.
Ferguson knows that it is difficult for Liverpool to be defeated by their opponents after shrinking their defense.
