Chapter 362 The Bad Double Red Meeting

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals has come out, but the real game will not start until April. Liverpool still needs to prepare for the Premier League game, which is the next round of the double red meeting.

In the first round of this season's double red meeting, Liverpool lost 2:3 away to Manchester United.

This time, of course, Liverpool is going to fight for revenge at home.

In fact, Rogers has already done an analysis for the Double Red Club. First of all, we must avoid losing at home.

Losing at home means being double-killed, which is definitely not possible.

In addition, if Liverpool loses to Manchester United in the double red meeting, the opponent will widen the point gap, which is also quite unfavorable for the team's fourth-place contending situation.

As long as they don't lose, Shuanghong will accept whether it wins or draws.

If you win, you can directly overtake Manchester United in the standings and return to the top four. This is of course the best.

A tie can continue to bite Manchester United, and Liverpool still has the advantage of one less game, which is not bad.

On March 22, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Manchester United at home.

In this game, both Sturridge and Coutinho on Liverpool's side recovered from their injuries, and even Gerrard recovered almost and sat on the bench.

As for the opponent Manchester United, they have the injury of Van Persie, an important player.

It seems that everything is more favorable to Liverpool.

The game started, just completed the promotion of the Champions League, and the morale of Liverpool aggressively attacked Anfield.

In just 9 minutes of the opening, Coutinho sent a beautiful through ball, allowing Sturridge to seize the opportunity to volley and score from a close corner.

Sturridge charged for most of the season, so it worked as soon as he played.

In the 24th minute, Li Chenglong made another cross from the wing and successfully helped Coutinho complete the pass.

Judging from the game situation, everything is moving in a favorable direction for Liverpool.

However, in the 36th minute, Mata's long-range shot hit the post and bounced into the net, pulling back a goal for Manchester United.

In the first half, the two sides ended the game 2:1.

At the beginning of the second half, the actions of both sides became bigger.

So Lallana was injured in the 50th minute and Gerrard came off the bench.

After the end of this season, Gerrard will retire, and this game will be the last double red meeting of his career.

Perhaps because he wanted to express himself too much, Gerrard received a red card in less than a minute after his debut.

Stamping on Herrera, obvious foul action, and the referee of this game was Atkinson, so he was directly sent off with a red card.

"This red card, whether for Liverpool or Gerrard, is a very heavy blow."

"Liverpool may be equalized or even lose the game because of this. In his last double red game, Gerrard was sent off for more than 40 seconds after appearing on the field. This is definitely a pain for him. the match of."

The England commentator's statement is also good. After Gerrard was sent off with a red card, Manchester United began to turn away and take the initiative on the field.

Manchester United continued to launch offensives. Fortunately, the Liverpool team did a good job defending and did not give them a chance.

The game time passed by one minute and one second, but the score remained at 2:1.

Anfield's home fans began to stand and sing the team anthem, cheering for their team.

Van Gaal also became anxious and started yelling non-stop on the sidelines.

Manchester United is currently only one point ahead of Liverpool, of course they cannot lose to Liverpool.

Once they lose, they will be overtaken by Liverpool and fall into a passive position.

Manchester United needed someone to stand up and save the team, so Atkinson stepped up.

In the 88th minute, seeing that the game was about to enter injury time, Liverpool had a good chance to win the game with one less player at home.

At this time, Valencia sent a cross from the wing. Rooney tried to hit the goal with a barb with his back to the goal in the penalty area, but he didn't judge the ball at all. He raised his foot but missed the ball at all.

So Rooney fell in the penalty area, and when he fell, he overwhelmed Skrtel.

At this time Atkinson blew his whistle and whistled a penalty kick.

"This is not a penalty, absolutely not!!" The Liverpool team rushed towards Atkinson.

But the Scourge obviously came with a mission today, he ignored it at all, and decided to award a penalty kick.

"Atkinson's penalty was too bad. Although Skrtel had physical contact with Rooney, he didn't foul at all. It was a bad penalty."

"But for Manchester United fans, it was a very life-saving penalty."

Between the commentator's chatter, Rooney was ready to take the penalty.

Against the boos of the audience, Rooney did not kick the ball away, but Mignolet threw it in the wrong direction.

Wayne Rooney scored to help Manchester United equalize the score.

In the next few minutes, the Anfield stadium was full of boos, booing Atkinson, booing Rooney, booing Manchester United.

But this does not affect the result of the game, the score of 2:2 has been maintained until the end.

Liverpool had a two-goal lead in the first half at home, but they suffered Gerrard's red card and unnecessary penalties one after another, and finally drew with Manchester United.

※※※

After the game, Atkinson fled Anfield quickly, otherwise he would be attacked by angry fans if he stayed for an extra minute.

Gerrard expressed his apology on the sidelines. His rash red card really had a great impact, while Lee Chenglong simply said something on the sidelines.

"Based on today's penalty kick, I believe Manchester United will not be able to win the top four in the Premier League this season. They are absolutely not worthy."

"What's more, Rooney's penalty was actually quite accurate."

The result of the game has been fixed, and it is useless to say more.

By the way, it's good to ridicule Rooney. He was not good at taking penalties in the World Cup, but he was very accurate in the Premier League.

Moreover, Liverpool tied Manchester United 2:2 at home. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, it is acceptable.

Avoiding being double-killed, and at the same time not being opened up the points gap.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham have all won in other Premier League games this round.

So in the standings, both Manchester City and Arsenal have 60 points, Manchester United 57 points, Liverpool 56 points and Tottenham 53 points.

Arsenal and Manchester City have temporarily opened up some point gaps, but the points difference between Liverpool and Manchester United is still very small, only one point difference.

There are still eight league rounds left, and the situation of the Premier League's fourth-place competition is becoming more and more tense.

In addition, if they failed to beat Manchester United this time, Liverpool will need to try their best to score points in the make-up match against Manchester City.

Get at least one point, then you can make up for the one-point difference with Manchester United.

However, if Liverpool beat Manchester City in the make-up match, then Manchester City will probably really fall and compete with everyone for the fourth.
