Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 1047
"The game has been relatively stalemate so far. In fact, Liverpool has not had any better opportunities except for a few counterattack opportunities! Manchester United's offense is really problematic. Shouldn't Van Gaal make some adjustments? !” Director Zhang said as he watched the game.

"Their offense is too lacking in variety and feels too fixed. Unlike Liverpool, we can see that Zhang Yuan and Firmino often change positions. This kind of change may not look good for a while. It will be effective, but in fact, the purpose of such a position change is to mobilize the defensive attention of Manchester United players, and there will always be mistakes! Manchester United needs to maintain their concentration now!" Zhou Qiang watched for almost half the time, of course Knowing that it is not easy for a fixed program like Manchester United to break through Liverpool's gate, what makes him even more pleased is that Liverpool's defensive quality has improved significantly.

In fact, Liverpool's midfielder did a good job of intercepting, but there were many interceptions, and the passing errors were not rare under the pressure of the opponent. This is why Liverpool has not been able to counterattack many times.

In the 43rd minute, Emrejan made a tackle in the backcourt, accurately cut off the ball at Mata's feet, then fell to the ground and stabbed it, and passed the ball to Ali. Under pressure, without stopping the ball, the ball was given to Milner.

After Milner held the ball, there was no one to guard him. He looked at the space and made a diagonal long pass from left to right.

It's Zhang Yuan again, and there's no defense again!
This can’t be blamed on the Manchester United players. There is nothing to do. Liverpool’s counterattack was much faster than the time just now. Milner basically transferred the long pass without much thought, unless Luke Shaw didn’t press at all. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch up with the ball at all!

Zhang Yuan has already started, and Blinder has also started!

Luckily, Blind played tricks. He guessed that he could not touch the ball before Zhang Yuan, so he adjusted his pace during the running process. He wanted to take advantage of Zhang Yuan's chance to get the ball and delay the time.

There is no problem with his thoughts and choices, but he seems to have forgotten that Zhang Yuan's dribbling breakthrough is also full of tricks. Zhang Yuan unloaded the ball and rushed towards him directly. Blind didn't dare to push, but was cautious. He retreated and waited for Zhang Yuan's fake action.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan made a fake move, using a very fast movement to flick the cow's tail, of course Blinder was fooled without any suspense. When he woke up, Zhang Yuan had already passed him and completed the crosscut. Zhang Yuan was placed behind him, and Blind did not tackle.

Zhang Yuan did not continue to advance, but chose to pass the ball when Smalling was moving. Firmino received a cross from Zhang Yuan outside the small penalty area and directly pushed half of the empty goal. De Gea was really awesome. He actually threw the ball, but it's a pity that Firmino was well prepared and shot very powerfully. De Gea touched the ball but couldn't stop it from entering the net!
Liverpool in the away game took a 2:0 lead!
"Going in again! Hahaha!" Qian Huan couldn't help laughing in the stands. It's unbelievable that this game can be played like this. Anyway, he didn't expect his Liverpool to win in the first half. Leading 2:0, of course, this scene is just that Liverpool seems a little passive!

Firmino wanted to take off his jersey at the first move, but he couldn't take it off in a hurry. Zhang Yuan happened to catch up with him who was running to the sidelines, and grabbed Firmino with his hand and pulled Phil Mino fell to the sidelines!
The Liverpool players ran over to stack Arhats one after another, and they couldn't help but be so excited. It has been more than a year since the last time they won a victory at Old Trafford. Looking at the situation today, it is very likely to win a victory Yes, the key point is this is the Double Red Club. Since the first year of the Premier League, Manchester United has firmly suppressed Liverpool. Compared with the league champions, Manchester United is far ahead. Liverpool has none. Speaking of the Champions League, Manchester United won two. And Liverpool has only one, no matter how you say it can't compare with Manchester United.

How did Klopp motivate Liverpool players before this game? !

He said: "In the history of the Premier League, we are undoubtedly inferior to Manchester United, but now is an excellent time for us to change all this. We want to get this victory, start from this victory, and rewrite the history of the Premier League. Great history for Liverpool!"

At this moment, the Liverpool players are thinking that victory is just around the corner!The excitement is irresistible!
Like them, there are Liverpool fans, as well as Klopp on the sidelines. Klopp has no restraint this time. He started his own fist movements. Perhaps in the eyes of Van Gaal next to him, all this is full of excitement. Provocative, but he doesn't think it's important anymore. Even he knows that Manchester United can't go on like this. The team must change, change the methodical and inefficient offensive routine!

"It's time for a substitution!" Director Zhang had to shout such a sentence in the live broadcast room before halftime of the game was over!

"It's time for a substitution!" Henry said the same thing, "Depay didn't play well today! He couldn't help Luke Shaw much in defense. Let's look at the statistics in the first half. Depay played a total of 5 As a winger, he didn't cross or shoot a goal. This statistic is really inappropriate, and Van Gaal should replace him!"

"It's pretty bad, but it's a good thing for Liverpool to have such an opponent!" Carragher is a famous player in Liverpool, and he teased Depay unscrupulously. Seriously, Carragher really doesn't want Van Gaal to make a substitution, don't be shy Looking at one wing, didn’t Liverpool use Zhang Yuan’s right wing to directly disable Manchester United today? Milner’s function on the left wing is average, and he focuses more on defense, so sometimes the substitutions are done correctly. , That's the immediate effect. Are there many advantages of the two goals? !However, the game is still early!

There was no time to change players. A few minutes later, it was time for the intermission. Manchester United lost the first half, and naturally they were not very happy. Van Gaal walked into the dressing room without looking back. The fans above the player tunnel There was no lack of voices yelling at him to get out.

Klopp waited at the door of the locker room, hugging every Liverpool player who entered, Uncle Zha was very passionate.

"Today we did a very good job in the first half! Especially in midfield interception!" Klopp did not praise Zhang Yuan or Firmino, but emphasized the two midfielders of Liverpool. Te and Emrejan!

Emre Can was Klopp's favorite player after he took office, and Kanter was a surprise. Klopp originally pursued Vidal, but Vidal didn't come, so Kanter became a substitute, but his The ability to intercept is very good. Of course, for a defensive midfielder with a large coverage area like Kanter, he must be protected on the other side. He is a more active defensive midfielder. Last season, Emre Can was relatively courageous. It's a lot easier. The cooperation between Emrejan and Kanter is surprisingly good in this game, but the passing of these two people is a bit satisfactory, and it is too easy to be seen through, otherwise Liverpool would not be like this in the first half!
After a lot of praise, Klopp had to sound the alarm for everyone, reminding everyone that the opponent is Manchester United, and they should not be underestimated at any time. Two goals are not a big advantage. He asked Liverpool players to strengthen their tactics.

To put it bluntly, the core idea of ​​Klopp's tactics is actually counterattack, whether it is a high-position press or the current contraction, it is the same, pay attention to a fast, fast, and form a local advantage, but it is a pity that Liverpool is not very fast today. Putting pressure on, Manchester United's defense was crippled by Zhang Yuan alone!

At the end of the first half, Klopp was thinking about whether he should make a substitution. In fact, he didn't have many cards. Henderson was there, as well as teenagers Ibi, Origi, Moreno, Coutini. O was on the bench and Lallana was injured, otherwise Milner would not have played in this game. He wanted to replace Ali.

Ali's performance in the first half was relatively mediocre. Under heavy pressure, his passing was not good enough, he had some problems in position selection, there was too little connection with the midfielder, and he seemed to be a bit courageous. As a result, Liverpool has always been at the bottom in possession. How much possession did Manchester United have in the first half? !Up to 70%, while Liverpool has only a poor 30%!

Klopp hopes that Liverpool should still need to strengthen the team's possession in the second half!
