He Wei: "Judging from the replay just now, Zhang Kuang did not commit a foul. Instead, it was Spearing who complained first. Well, Webb gave Speason a yellow card. Obviously his behavior violated the rules."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball was not only blocked by Zhang Kuang's defense, but also Liverpool's defense made a mistake. Glen·Johnson missed Rooney, giving him too much space. If a player like Rooney succeeds in outflanking him, he will definitely score."
In the 19th minute, Liverpool almost equalized. Downing cut in from the right and shot long-range. De Gea saved the ball and missed. Suárez followed up with a follow-up shot. Ferdinand cleared the ball on the goal line.
Martin: "Ferdinand! Goal-line clearance! Downing's long-range shot was very threatening. De Gea missed the ball. Suárez's follow-up shot was almost certain to go in, but Ferdinand blocked the ball at the goal-line! This is the value of a veteran!"
Neville: "Ferdinand wore the captain's armband today, and his performance is worthy of the armband. This clearance is so critical. If Liverpool equalizes, the trend of the game may be completely different."
In the 23rd minute, Phil·Jones pulled down Gerrard who was dribbling the ball in the midfield. The referee Webb blew the whistle and showed a yellow card.
Martin: "Phil·Jones's tackle was too big. Webb showed a yellow card. Phil·Jones committed a foul. This position gave Liverpool a perfect free kick."
Neville: "But luckily Liverpool doesn't have a free kick master of Zhang Kuang's level, otherwise the ball would almost definitely go in. Gerrard would take the penalty. It's hard to say, maybe 20% chance."
Sure enough, Gerrard took the free kick and shot directly, but it was blocked by the wall.
In the 27th minute, Rooney got the ball from the right and ran down the field, then swept the ball to the center before Liverpool's defender blocked his route.
Hernández ran a little past. If he turned around and picked up the ball again, Liverpool's defense line would be ready, so he knocked with his heel and the ball hit the top of the arc in the left penalty area of Zhang Kuang.
Zhang Kuang took off his right foot and fired a powerful long-range shot about 20 yards away from the goal. The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Reina has no response.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool.
The Manchester United fans were instantly excited. Zhang Kuang ran towards the corner flag area and made his signature celebration moves: leaping, turning around in the air, moving his hands downwards, raising his head and roaring.
Martin's voice roared, "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! World wave! Rooney's underpass, Hernández's heel pass, Zhang Kuang's long shot from outside the penalty area!
Manchester United's trident coordinated smoothly, directly tearing apart Liverpool's defense. 2:0, Manchester United expanded its lead."
Neville: "It's stable. I believe Liverpool won't be able to make any big waves. Manchester United will have one more champion."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang! World wave! 2-0! Manchester United leads Liverpool! Zhang Kuang's violent long shot from 20 yards out broke the goal guarded by Reina! This is his fifth goal for Football Association Cup this season!"
Zhang Lu: "Manchester United's trident worked so smoothly and smoothly, like mercury leaking out of the ground. Hernández's back-heel pass was really a stroke of genius. It would have been impossible to pass such a ball without teammates who cooperated very well."
In the 33rd minute, Liverpool suffered an injury. Agger sprained his ankle during the fight with Hernández and fell to the ground in pain. After the team doctor came in for inspection, he indicated that he could not continue.
This is really surprising. Liverpool was originally a little weaker on paper, but it rained all night long when the house leaked.
Martin: "Ah, this, this kind of attrition is very damaging to morale, and it was done in the first half, and a substitution was lost."
Neville: "Yes, this does undermine everyone's confidence and will make fans who support Liverpool feel uncomfortable."
In the 34th minute, Liverpool was forced to make a substitution.
Carragher replaced the injured Agger, and Liverpool's defense was forced to adjust.
In the 38th minute, Rooney made a pass from the right, Zhang Kuang headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area, and Reina bravely lifted the ball over the crossbar.
He Wei: "Zhang Kuang... Header... Oh, what a pity. Reina made a world-class save and saved Zhang Kuang's header. This header was a must-goal. What a pity."
Zhang Lu: "It's a pity, but Liverpool has allowed Zhang Kuang to enter the penalty area several times. This is a greater good thing for Zhang Kuang. It gives Zhang Kuang more opportunities."
In the 40th minute, Škrtel elbowed Hernández during the scramble. The referee Webb gave a verbal warning but did not show a yellow card. Škrtel escaped the penalty.
Martin: "Webb is giving sympathy points. Škrtel's behavior requires a card, but it is just a verbal warning, which is a bit light."
Neville: "As a representative referee who enforces the law fairly, this penalty is open to question. Webb is out of balance."
In the 42nd minute, Liverpool got a corner kick. Gerrard took a corner kick from the right. Škrtel nodded the ball in front and hit the goal later. Suárez scored from behind with a close shot.
Suárez was very excited after scoring the goal. He knelt down to celebrate with a long slide and punched several times.
Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool.
The Liverpool fans at the scene cheered excitedly and sang even louder.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Suárez! Liverpool got it back! Gerrard's corner kick was too accurate, Škrtel nodded the ball in front and hit the goal later, Suárez hit the ball in the back and scored from close range!
2-1! Liverpool made a comeback! This is Suárez! He should be one of Premier League's most outstanding forwards this season. He just joined Liverpool and he has already scored 21 goals in various competitions on behalf of Liverpool. Good data!"
Neville: "Yes, Suárez is a very unique shooter. Suárez's running position, shooting skills, body, etc. are all quite top-notch. Of course, you can't compare with Zhang Kuang. In Sir Alex's words, he is the top forward besides Zhang Kuang, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo."
--
He Wei: "The ball went in, Liverpool's new aid Suárez's goal! 2-1! Liverpool pulled one back! Gerrard took a corner kick on the right, Škrtel nodded the ball in front and then hit it, Suárez scored from behind with a close shot!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Manchester United's defense made a mistake on this ball. Evans missed Suárez and gave him too much space. For a player like Suárez, if you let him succeed in outflanking him from behind, he will definitely score a goal."
When Ferguson saw Liverpool pull back a goal, he also shrugged. There was nothing he could do about it. Even if Manchester United was so strong, he couldn't keep Premier League the top six teams clean.
2 minutes of added time in the first half.
As the referee blew the whistle, halftime ended, and Manchester United led 2-1.
This Football Association Cup final seems to have no suspense, but it also seems to be full of suspense, and it has become unpredictable.
Martin concluded in the studio. "It was 2-1 at halftime. This score is acceptable for Manchester United, but not too bad for Liverpool.
They had a goal, and they played bravely on Wembley. The key to the second half is, can Liverpool guard Zhang Kuang? Can it attack like Suárez did before the end of the first half? If not, the game is over."
Neville: "Although Manchester United seems to be better on paper, Liverpool is not easy to mess with when playing hard. Whether it is Premier League or UEFA Champions League, Liverpool working hard can create miracles."
Martin: "Yes, their comeback in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final is still the most talked about game in football. This team's resilience is very strong, so Manchester United cannot be careless in the second half."
Will Manchester United be careless?
In the tactical arrangement of the halftime break, Ferglin focused on the defense of Suárez in the midfield and backcourt. Obviously, Ferguson attached great importance to Suárez's offense.
After the halftime break, the second half begins.
Webb was also reminded by Manchester United officials during the midfield to be fair.
So, he became more serious.
"Beep--!"
After the start, the two teams switched offense and defense very quickly, fought fiercely, and exchanged possession of the ball frequently. As a result, the ball was always moving in the midfield and backcourt of both teams, with no chance to reach the feet of the forwards of the two teams.
Zhang Kuang followed for five or six minutes, but couldn't find any opportunity.
In the 52nd minute, Manchester United got a free kick in the midfield. It was due to a scramble between Carrick and Kuyt and a foul by Kuyt. The ball was more than 40 meters away from Liverpool's goal, so it was not within the range of a direct hit.
Ashley Young came to take the free kick. He stepped back a few meters and was ready to kick directly into the penalty area.
Ashley Young took a free kick, Zhang Kuang jumped high between the two Liverpool defenders, headed the ball towards the goal, and the ball hit the lower right corner of the goal.
Manchester United 3-1 Liverpool.
Zhang Kuang scored twice, and Wembley fell into madness again.
Zhang Kuang continued his iconic celebration, and the players of Manchester United were so excited that they stepped forward to celebrate.
Martin's voice was already hoarse. "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! Scored twice! Ashley Young's free kick was so accurate, Zhang Kuang is here Two Liverpool defenders jumped up high and headed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal! 3-1! Manchester United expanded the lead! Zhang Kuang continued his efficiency of averaging more than two goals per game!"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang was able to score this goal only because Liverpool's two defenders did not risk their lives to defend him. Look at his high leap, Škrtel and Carragher couldn't jump him at all, but they didn't take any big defensive moves. In this case, they had to make big moves to catch Zhang Kuang. Maybe they were afraid of having cards.
This is the scary thing about Zhang Kuang. As long as the opponent's restrictions are slightly weaker, he can create a real threat."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang scored twice! 3-1! Manchester United leads Liverpool! Zhang Kuang's header attack ability has always been his specialty, Liverpool neglected to defend his header."
Zhang Lu: "Let's put it this way, either it's Liverpool's tactical error, or Liverpool's players don't take it seriously. It's like on the battlefield, you know that United States's aerial bombardment is the best in the world, but you still let United States's plane fly into your own airspace, how can you defend yourself?"
He Wei: "What Director Zhang said is reasonable, but Zhang Kuang cannot be prevented. If he wants to prevent Zhang Kuang, then Liverpool himself will have to pay a high price.
Therefore, they have to weigh, if they can defend Zhang Kuang, they have to get cards, if they can't defend Zhang Kuang, they have to concede the ball. The choice between the two, maybe Liverpool chose to concede the ball instead of getting the cards. They may think that getting the cards will make Liverpool more passive."
Zhang Lu: "Your analysis is very accurate. It is indeed the complicated mood of Liverpool at the moment..."
The advantage of Manchester United has been established. Everyone thinks that Manchester United is now stable. In fact, everyone underestimates the resilience of Liverpool.
In the 58th minute, Suárez received a through ball from Henderson on the left side of the penalty area, passed Evans and then volleyed the far corner from a small angle, but De Gea was beyond reach.
Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Suárez! Scored twice! 3-2! Liverpool recovered a goal! This is Suárez! He has scored two goals today! This summer, he can have a good discussion about a new contract with Liverpool. He can score twice against Manchester United, and his strength is acceptable."
Neville: "Suárez is a very beautiful ball. Look at the moment he passed Evans, Spain was completely shaken away. Then he volleyed from a small angle, and De Gea couldn't do anything about it.
He has his own way of using his feet, creating shooting space, and avoiding goalkeepers to make saves. This is the ability of a top player."
--
He Wei: "The ball went in, Suárez's goal! 3-2! Liverpool recovered a goal! Suárez connected with Henderson's through ball from the left side of the penalty area and passed Evans volleyed from a small angle into the far corner, and De Gea was beyond his reach! This is a treasure player, he has the agility of South America player, but also has the body of Europe player, very good."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, South America is really a petri dish for top players. Top players with any characteristics can be produced there. Of course, the most representative ones are agile technical players. Their foot skills have reached the extreme of human beings. I heard that South America currently has a super star named Neymar, who is also famous for his foot skills..."
In the 62nd minute, Liverpool made a substitution.
Carroll replaces Kuyt, Dalglish strengthens the offense.
Martin: "Carroll came on, and Liverpool's offense became more direct. Kuyt's performance was average today, and he was restricted by Carrick and Phil·Jones."
Neville: "Yes, Liverpool's midfielder does not provide much support to the frontcourt, and Gerrard's performance is also average."
In the 67th minute, Ashley Young passed the ball to Zhang Kuang. Spearing and Glen immediately surrounded him. Zhang Kuang smiled, then swung his foot and passed the ball across the court with a big foot, passing it from the left to the right. Rooney quickly got the ball from the right. Quickly cutting inside, Enrique and Agger wanted to intercept, but Rooney also learned to hit the goal quickly. He immediately shot low and near the corner. Reina fell to the ground to save the ball. As a result, Reina fell to the ground to save the ball and hit the goalpost with his hand. The ball still hit his hand first and rolled into the goal.
The ball went in!
Manchester United 4-2 Liverpool.
Martin's voice roared, "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang's cross pass! Rooney's inward shot from a close corner scored, and Rooney also scored a goal.
4-2! Manchester United sealed the victory! This is Manchester United! This is Zhang Kuang, who can shoot and pass! On the stage of North West Derby, he once again helped Manchester United seal the victory!"
Neville: "Rooney's goal is also very beautiful. When he cuts in, Enrique and Agger are completely shaken away. Then his low shot, the ball goes straight to the near corner. Reina has nothing to do.
Why do you feel that this style has the flavor of Zhang Kuang, Martin, do you feel this way?"
Martin: "Haha, have you noticed it too? As a teammate of Zhang Kuang, if you can't learn Zhang Kuang's one-stop breakthrough and score goals, you can learn a little bit from him, shake off the defensive players and then shoot from the blind corner. You can always learn something, right?"
Neville: "Don't tell me, Rooney this ball is really like this."
Martin: "I heard that many players are learning Zhang Kuang's way of playing football, especially young players. I have heard a lot about EFL League One Zhang Kuang, Bundesliga Zhang Kuang and the like."
Neville:"Haha, that's really interesting."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Rooney cuts in from the right and scores a goal! 4-2! Manchester United seals the victory! From the left of Zhang Kuang The precise pass across the court gave Rooney the opportunity to cut in and shoot after getting the ball! This pass was really exaggerated, crossing the court and so accurate. Zhang Kuang's passing skill is probably one of the best in football."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this pass is so beautiful. Of course, Rooney's inward goal is also beautiful, but without Zhang Kuang's beautiful pass, it would be difficult to score."
He Wei: "Yes, after falling behind by two goals at almost 70 minutes, Liverpool is probably going to be in trouble. Of course, if they show the resilience they had in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, there might be a miracle."
Zhang Lu: "Suárez played super well today. Maybe the only one who is better than him is Zhang Kuang. If he can score a hat trick, then he will be the most handsome one on the field today."
In the 70th minute, Manchester United made a substitution. Park Ji-sung replaced Ashley Young to strengthen the midfield defense.
In fact, after South Korea was replaced, the interception in the midfield really improved to a higher level.
In the 75th minute, Liverpool made the last substitution, Bellamy replaced Downing.
In the 78th minute, Zhang Kuang missed a hat trick. Zhang Kuang changed positions with Hernández and connected with Rooney to form a single shot, but his push shot was blocked by Reina with his legs.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang! Single shot! Oh, Reina! Spain The goalkeeper blocked the ball with his legs! Zhang Kuang missed the hat trick! The angle of his push was too right, Reina struck very decisively."
Neville: "Zhang Kuang has scored two goals today, but he could have scored three. Reina's save is too crucial. If Manchester United expands the lead again, Liverpool will really be out of luck."
In the 81st minute, a conflict broke out between the two sides. Ferdinand and Suárez had physical contact while fighting for position in the penalty area. The two pushed each other, and players from both sides quickly gathered around.
Referee Webb intervened and gave both Ferdinand and Suárez a verbal warning but no yellow cards were given.
Zhang Kuang thought Suárez would bite, but it didn't, which made him a little disappointed. He hadn't seen Suárez bite live yet. It would be fun if he could see it live.
Martin: "Ferdinand and Suárez had a conflict. The two pushed each other, and players from both sides quickly gathered around. Webb intervened, each playing fifty and giving a verbal warning. This is North West Derby, this is Derby. The players were very excited."
Neville: "Ferdinand and Suárez are both competitive players, and there was friction when they were fighting for position. Webb handled it well, each playing fifty boards, without playing any cards. If the cards were played, the game might get out of control."
In the 85th minute, Liverpool had the final threat. Gerrard's long shot was saved by De Gea, and Carroll's header shot missed.
In the 88th minute, Ferguson replaced Rafael with Smalling, and then replaced Rooney with Adsen. Rooney came off the field, and the audience burst into applause.
Martin: "Rooney was replaced and the audience stood up and applauded. He scored two goals today and performed as well as Zhang Kuang. Rooney completed his mission very well."
Neville: "Well, Rooney will first let him take a rest, secondly delay the game for a while, and thirdly change players to strengthen the defense to avoid mistakes at the last moment."
In the 89th minute, Suárez took a free kick from the top of the penalty area, and De Gea punched out with both fists.
At this time, the fourth official raised his sign: 4 minutes of additional time.
In the next four minutes, even Zhang Kuang participated in the defense. He mainly defended against high-altitude balls and headers. He could still defend the headers.
Finally, after four minutes of Liverpool's one-sided attack, the score remained until the end.
Final score: Manchester United 4-2 Liverpool.
Manchester United won the championship of Football Association Cup in the 2011-12 season!
