I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

At 21:30 on March 22, Beijing time, the focus of the 30th round of the 2014-2015 Premier League season kicked off. The Red Army Liverpool sat at Anfield Stadium to face their rivals Manchester United.

This is the second round of the double red meeting this season, and it is also the 192nd double red meeting in history. In the first 191 double red meetings, Liverpool was at a disadvantage with 64 wins, 51 draws and 76 losses. Among them, the league had 55 wins, 44 draws and 64 losses.

Although Liverpool completed a double play against Manchester United last season, it was the only two wins in the last 7 confrontations. The remaining 5 games were all defeated, and they were obviously at a disadvantage.

In the first round of the Premier League this season, Liverpool lost 0:3 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, which also made Ye Su's team report the shame of losing 0:3 at home to Liverpool last season.

At Anfield, Liverpool only lost 1 of their last 7 games against Manchester United. In September 2012, Manchester United won 2:1 away. win.

Before this round of the game, Liverpool had 10 wins and 3 draws in the Premier League and remained unbeaten for 13 consecutive rounds. They have maintained a complete victory in the last five Premier League games. In fifth place, they are 4 points behind Manchester City, which is third in the league, and 3 points behind Arsenal, who are fourth in the league. They have a very good chance of reaching the Champions League.

The last time Liverpool lost a game dates back to December 14 last year. At that time, it was Manchester United who defeated Liverpool. The Red Army lost 0:3 away. Manchester United's recent form is also good, with four victories in the last five Premier League games, of which the last three games have maintained a complete victory.

In this game, all aspects are more optimistic about Liverpool defeating Manchester United at home. On the one hand, it is because Liverpool is the best-performing team in the Premier League recently, and on the other hand, they are also at a physical advantage. Coupled with sitting at home and waiting for work, the Red Army seems to have no reason to lose.

………………

Because it was less than 70 hours ago that the fierce battle between the Apennine Peninsula and Rome lasted 90 minutes, the physical fitness of Manchester United players was generally poor, including Rooney and Vardy who were replaced in advance.

However, facing such an important game as the Double Red Club, Ye Su did not dare to let the main players rest, so Ye Su still sent most of the main players in this game. The goalkeeper is De Gea, the back four consists of Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shawda, Kante and Carrick form a double gate, Mata serves as the midfielder, and the wings are Vardy and De Gea. Browne and Rooney shot forward with a single arrow.

For Liverpool, captain Gerrard and Balotelli were on standby, Henderson wore the captain's armband, Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho formed a striker trident.

Although from all aspects, Liverpool is in an advantage and is more optimistic, but in many football games, it really cannot be analyzed theoretically. It's like today's double-red game, Manchester United, who played away, turned away from the host after the start of the game, completely suppressing the home team Liverpool. In the first 10 minutes, Manchester United had a three-legged goal, but Liverpool had very few chances to even attack Manchester United's penalty area.

In the 14th minute of the game, Manchester United, who firmly controlled the midfield, broke the deadlock. Carrick crossed, Kante sent a through ball, and Mata hit the left post with a low shot from the far corner on the right side of the penalty area and bounced into the net. , 1:0!

At that moment, Anfield was dead silent!

………………

After conceding the ball, Liverpool players improved their performance and launched some threatening shots.

In the 35th minute, Liverpool missed a good chance to equalize. Henderson had a long pass in the frontcourt, Sturridge made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and the unguarded Lallana penalty kick missed the left post.

It was Liverpool's most threatening shot of the first half.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Gerrard played for Lallana and took over the captain's armband.

Only 43 seconds into the second half, Gerrard stepped on Kanter and was sent off by referee Atkinson.

Only 10 men are left on the pitch for Liverpool.

This is the 16th red card in the Premier League history of the Double Red Club, second only to the Merseyside Derby and the second most red card in English football.

The red card received by Gerrard also created the record for the fastest red card in the history of the Double Red Club. Even looking at the entire world of football, the speed at which Gerrard got a red card is enough to be included in the top ten!

This "double red meeting" is the last time in Gerrard's career, and it also left regrets for Gerrard's fans.

Liverpool, who were already at a disadvantage, became completely passive after Gerrard was sent off, and in the 59th minute of the game, Manchester United scored the second goal of the game. At that time, De Bruyne picked a pass from the top of the penalty area, and Mata scored twice with a volley shot from the far corner of the penalty area, helping Manchester United extend their lead to two goals.

………………

The two goals behind at home pushed Liverpool to the wall, and the Liverpool fans at home were very dissatisfied with the team's situation.

Rogers also realized that this would not work, so in the 66th minute of the game, he replaced Moreno with Balotelli to strengthen the offense.

However, Bashen has not shown any performance yet, and Liverpool almost lost the third goal. Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet played with fire in the penalty area and was almost intercepted by Rooney. Although Mignolet finally kicked the ball away, the home fans at Anfield were still scared enough.

However, Bashen entered the eyes of fans all over the world for the first time after his debut, but it was a bit disgraceful. Liverpool attacked, and his teammate passed the ball to Bashen, who was stabbed away by Maguire first. But Bashen ignored it and knocked Maguire to the ground with a flying shovel.

This did not allow Bashen to help the team regain the ball. On the contrary, it made him carry a yellow card in the second minute of his debut.

Not long after Bashen got the yellow card with some stupidity, Liverpool pulled back a victory. In the 69th minute, Coutinho completed the steal on Carrick and passed the ball to Sturridge at the first time. Sturridge shot into the net from the right side of the penalty area and helped Liverpool tie the score to 1:2!

However, Liverpool was soon overwhelmed by Manchester United again, and almost lost the gate again. In the 71st minute, Rooney took a free kick from the left side of the penalty area. The ball roared and went straight to the far corner. The moment it was about to enter the goal, it was resolved by Mignolet who flew sideways with a single punch.

When Bashen appeared on the field today, he didn't seem to want to play football, but to fight with Manchester United players. Less than 12 minutes after receiving the first yellow card, he confronted the Manchester United players again.

In the 79th minute, Balotelli entangled with Manchester United's right-back Luke Shaw and almost had a physical conflict. The fans in the stands pulled Balotelli to calm the conflict. The referee saw that Balotelli had already received a yellow card, so he showed mercy and did not show a second yellow card.

………………

After 85 minutes of the game, Liverpool staged several shocking moments on the court.

First, Emre Can was forced by Rooney, made a mistake in the return pass, and was almost intercepted by Vardy. Fortunately, Mignolet reacted quickly, rushed out of the penalty area, and kicked the ball out of bounds before Vardy.

The fright that this pass error caused Liverpool was not over yet, and Emre Can made another mistake. This time it was Vardy's turn to press and he panicked, and the return pass made another mistake. But fortunately, the Liverpool defenders broke the ball before Bruno Fernandes, who had just come off the bench, dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

However, it is said that making mistakes can be one, two, but not again. When Emre Can entered the 3rd minute of stoppage time, which is the 93rd minute of the game, he made another mistake and tackled the one who dribbled into the penalty area in the penalty area. When Kyle Walker, Liverpool lost the third goal of the field, it became inevitable.

Facing a fierce foul by Emre Can, the referee Atkinson pointed to the 12-yard point without hesitation.

Since Rooney had been replaced by Yesu at this moment, Bruno Fernandez took the penalty after discussion with the Manchester United players on the field.

Facing the Liverpool goalkeeper, the Manchester United teenager was not at all afraid. He calmly tricked Mignolet and scored the ball. While rewriting the score on the field to 3:1, he also sealed the victory.

………………

These point differences, with only the last 8 rounds left in the league, can be called natural moats. As long as the teams in front do not experience major ups and downs, it will be difficult for the teams behind to catch up.
