The Theatre of Dreams becomes a Nightmare!!-Part 1

On March 14, 2009, this statement became to anyone that is proud to be a Man Utd fan. The ‘Red devils’, as they are commonly known, received one of their worst losses at their backyard in Old Trafford, Manchester. The reds were beaten by their long time rivals, Liverpool, who also happen to wear red at their home ground at Arnfield. This was deemed to be an explosive match and this it what it actually turned out to be…very explosive on the Man Utd side.

Starting line ups
Man Utd: Van der Sar (GK), Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Oshea, Ji Sung Park, Carrick, Anderson, Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney

Liverpool: Reina (GK), Aurelio, Hyppia, Skrtel, Carragher, Riera, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Gerrard and Torres

It all started when Tevez happened to give Ji Sung Park a lovely through ball in the 18 yard box leading Reina to try and get the ball and in the process, he tripped Park. Ronaldo, the usually spot kick person for Man Utd, put the ball in the far corner…score Man Utd 1 Liverpool 0.

You should have seen the heart that the Liverpool players had…they were playing as if nothing had happened and they knew the game was wide from over. Not so long after that a long lob by Fabio Aurielio found the Man Utd defense asleep (especially Nemaja Vidic). The ball bounce the first time near the centre half and went over Vidic. As he tried to follow up to try and clear the ball, El Nino (the man Torres himself), was right behind his heels and was able to outsmart the experienced defender and put an easy goal behind Van der Sar…score Man utd 1 Liverpool 1.

The game then became a little bit evened out as it drew closer to half time. Ronaldo was able to get some free kicks that seemed to disturb Reina, but the goalkeeper was more alert and was able to hold on the ball before Tevez would have pounced on it. The gam went on well for sometime but a splendid through pass from Torres made Evra commit a defensive error that led him to trip Gerrard in the 18 yard box and Liverpool were given a penalty. Who is better at spot kicks than Gerrard himself. He did deliver and was able squeeze one behind Van der Sar despite diving the wrong way. So at the half time break….score Man Utd 1 Liverpool 2
