I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 124: The Role of Star Players

Rooney stood in front of the ball, carefully looked at Liverpool's human wall, and calculated the possible trajectory of his free throw in his heart.

At this time, the referee's whistle blew.

Rooney starts to run up, his feet appear to be very strong. After a few steps, he came to the ball, swung his leg like a whip, and hit the ball hard.

Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball quickly flew out from Lu Xiaopang's feet, crossed an arc, bypassed the human wall, and quickly fell towards the goal behind him.

But Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet was prepared. When he was setting the wall just now, he had already taken into account all the angles that Rooney might hit the goal, so he reacted quickly and flew the ball over the crossbar. Although he gave Manchester United a corner kick, the free kick did not pass Enter.

In an instant, all Liverpool players breathed a sigh of relief.

The fans of Manchester United sighed Qiqi, obviously a little disappointed with the result.

Liverpool quickly reorganized their defense, this time defending corner kicks. Due to the conceded corner kick just now, Liverpool attaches great importance to it this time.

Manchester United also invested in troops, and the two high points of Maguire and Van Dijk all came up.

Coutinho was still left in the frontcourt to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but he didn't dare to be careless, because he didn't know when his teammates would pass the ball in his direction, and all he could do was to concentrate Energy ready.

Luke Shaw took another corner kick, still trying to find Rooney. But this time, Mignolet struck out quickly, took the ball out of midair first, rushed to the front of the penalty area, and threw it to Henderson with a flick of his hand.

The England midfielder immediately understood, he didn't even need to look up, he just passed forward with a big foot.

………………

"Liverpool took a quick goal kick and launched a counter-attack."

"Henderson made a long pass to the left."

...

Coutinho was worried about offside, and waited until Henderson passed the ball before he started quickly, a little slower than Kyle Walker, and the two chased towards the ball almost at the same time.

This kind of scene has appeared many times in the first half, and Manchester United fans are somewhat used to it, because they saw that Coutinho was only one person, but at this time Manchester United had three players in the defense.

In addition to Luke Shaw, there are Carrick and Kanter, three defensive ones, more than enough.

Especially the existence of Kanter makes Manchester United fans feel at ease: the defensive ability of this little French defensive player is second to none in today's world football!

In addition, because of the presence of Kyle Walker, a fast winger, Manchester United fans are not worried about Coutinho's speed. Because in terms of speed and explosive power, Kyle Walker is not inferior to Coutinho, or even better.

But this time it was obviously different from before.

Although Coutinho is on par with Kyle Walker, he is on the inside and can more easily seize long passes from the rear, and Kyle Walker already has a yellow card.

The two competed for speed, and Coutinho, who took the initiative, finally took the lead, turned sideways, and blocked Kyle Walker with his body.

He pushed the ball forward with his head.

As a Brazilian, Coutinho's skills are unquestionable. The ball seemed to obey his instructions. After hitting his head, it changed its flight trajectory and fell to the front, while Coutinho suddenly accelerated. The speed caught up.

Kyle Walker made an obvious movement of pulling the jersey behind him, but he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and let it go as soon as he pulled it. This caused Coutinho to slow down a bit, and when he caught up again, Carrick had already caught up from the side.

One to two!

Flank left and right!

Coutinho was not surprised, because he had expected all this. Fortunately, Carrick's speed was not fast. Coutinho quickly jumped up, relying on his excellent instantaneous explosive power, took the first step, swung up With his left foot, he picked up the falling ball.

Coutinho's ball control is definitely the best in the world. The ball was picked up by him, and it flew up again, directly over the top of Carrick's head, and fell behind him. After Coutinho made an emergency stop, he turned sideways and turned to chase the ball behind Carrick.

At this time, Kanter also chased all the way back to the front of the penalty area. When he saw Coutinho pick the ball past Carrick, he was shocked.

As a player who has played in the Premier League for nearly two seasons and has participated in several double-red games, Kanter is well aware of Coutinho's abilities and is definitely one of the most difficult offensive players in the Premier League to defend. He rushed towards Coutinho without thinking about his body at the first moment, thinking that even if it was a foul, he must stop him from outside the penalty area.

After Coutinho picked Carrick, he clearly felt in his mind that if he rushed in, he would definitely be fouled by Kante. Although the French midfielder might get a card for this, Liverpool's rare offensive opportunity ended here up.

what to do?

Coutinho noticed De Gea's position!

The Spaniard's goal-line technique is the best in the world, but his shortcoming is also known to the world, that is, there is a fatal problem in the defense of high-altitude balls.

All of this information, some from the Liverpool coaching staff, and some from Coutinho's daily accumulation, flashed through Coutinho's mind in an instant.

Coutinho can be 100% sure that if he pokes the football into the penalty area, and when he bypasses Kanter and catches up again, the ball must already be in De Gea's hands.

Therefore, Coutinho's choice is to pick again.

The football field is changing rapidly, so think about it and do it. Coutinho immediately made another decisive kick and picked up the fallen ball again, this time towards the top of the arc in the penalty area.

This is a safe area recognized by Coutinho. It should have belonged to Kanter's defense zone, but now that he has rushed over, there is no one here. The nearest player is Carrick, and Coutinho is sure Finished the shot before him.

...

All of this is just a momentary thing on the court, and it's all some inconspicuous details. But it was precisely these details that piled up a scene that stunned more than 40,000 Manchester United fans at the new Wembley Stadium.

They saw Coutinho quickly catch up to Kyle Walker. Although he was pulled, he still caught up with the ball and flicked the ball decisively past Carrick, and then flicked it again. Kantor.

As soon as the unlucky Carrick turned around, he was knocked down in the penalty area by Kanter, who couldn't hold back after being emptied. On the other hand, Coutinho took advantage of the trend and chased after the football, facing the landing ball with a volley directly!

De Gea chose to attack, but he didn't expect Coutinho to pick the ball past Kante again. Seeing him volley, he was surprised to make a side attack, but Coutinho's shot came quickly and quickly. Anxiously, the angle is also oriented to the right side of the goal.

Although the Spanish goalkeeper is tall and long, he is still beyond his reach!

"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!"

"Coutinho! Coutinho!!! Coutinho!!!!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"My God, when Coutinho faced three Manchester United players, including Kanter, he just relied on his personal ability to pick the ball consecutively. Under the attack of the three Manchester United players, he abruptly won. A chance to kick the ball, scored for Liverpool and equalized the score!"

"Absolutely a great goal!"

"From Coutinho!"

………………

After Coutinho scored the goal, he knelt down on the court, clenched his fists hard, and roared to the sky.

In the game against the rival Manchester United, in a League Cup final, scoring such a key goal is really too important!

More importantly, he was unprepared for such a goal before.

He couldn't believe it, he actually did it!

All that just now was just his reaction on the court. He didn't think about how to do it in detail beforehand, because he didn't know what his opponent would do.

But it is precisely because of this that surprises are created, so it is exciting and exciting!

Even the Manchester United fans at the new Wembley Stadium let out bursts of exclamation. Although they are mortal enemies, Manchester United fans are still boiling in front of this impactful goal.

No one is immune to such a goal, because it is too rich to watch!

The Liverpool players ran all the way from the backcourt excitedly, celebrating this beautiful to perfect goal with Coutinho.

Klopp jumped high on the sidelines, shouting loudly, venting his inner excitement and excitement.

Facing Ye Su's Manchester United, Klopp's heart is under great pressure. Although the childish-looking oriental man opposite him is 18 years younger than him, he is already a headache for all Premier League coaches.

Ye Su on the sidelines seemed a little helpless. Facing the unreasonable performance and goals of the opponent's star player, no one could do anything.

Ye Su recognized Coutinho's ability from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that the Brazilian midfielder is currently the only world-class player in this Liverpool team.

It's a pity that this guy finally chose to move to Barcelona, ​​which was a lose-lose decision. And Liverpool was lucky to be the only winner. Klopp used the funds obtained from the transfer of the Brazilian to introduce Van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho and other players, and started to win the Champions League and the Premier League. glorious era.

I don't know if all this will happen in this time and space, but there is no possibility of it happening at all, because Van Dijk, one of the backbone of Liverpool's revival, has already become a Manchester United player.
