Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 986

Gerrard's red card didn't hurt Liverpool's morale. On the contrary, they seemed to be more fierce and tenacious, but after all, they were one less man, and they were still at the bottom in terms of running. Van Gaal sent Di Maria to score another. It means, looking at the tenacious Liverpool, he is still worried.

Faced with this worry, Van Gaal thought about it and decided to resolve the battle early. Manchester United began to try to use Liverpool's disadvantages in personnel to speed up the transfer, but the more impatient they were, the more mistakes they made.

Zhang Yuan began to retreat continuously to get the ball, and Sturridge's range of activities was also increasing. He is not a pure wide player, he can move into the penalty area of ​​Manchester United. The position is active, although it still cannot change the status quo of being at a disadvantage, but it has become more direct.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United's offense hit the frontcourt. Di Maria moved to the center after holding the ball. Suddenly, a pick pass came from the top of the arc in the penalty area. Mata quickly inserted it and used his small body to hold on. Sacco, here comes a wonderful sideways barb.

The ball was very difficult, but Mata scored exceptionally well, Mignolet didn't respond, and the ball got into Liverpool's goal again.

In the away game, Manchester United took a 2:0 lead. The effect of Van Gaal's substitution is very obvious. Di Maria has served as the midfielder in Argentina before. He is different from Ashley Young. Ashley Young Sticking to the wing, and Di Maria doesn't only know how to make a pass from the wing, this will soon pose a fatal threat to Liverpool.

Mata, who scored twice, ran happily to the visiting team stand. He was Manchester United's best player in this game. An opportunity that was not a great opportunity, let Manchester United take a 2-0 lead in the score, and he received warm applause from the Manchester United fans.

Of course, Liverpool fans don't like him. It's him, it's him again, why can he score goals, what is Sakho doing? !

Is Sako's performance bad? !It's not too bad, at least two fatal marking mistakes, his performance is not bad, but with these two mistakes, it can only be described as bad, Klopp stood on the sidelines and roared angrily In order to vent his dissatisfaction, he trusted Sakho and tried to strengthen the defense on the wing, and Sakho repaid him in this way.

Zhang Yuan had a desperate thought at this moment, can this goal be scored? !
This goal is very difficult, and he can't guarantee to score it if it is changed, but Mata has such a magical touch that makes Sakho the background board.

This game is completely not fun, but he doesn't want to admit defeat, it doesn't look like surrender at all, and he doesn't want to admit defeat if there is one less person!
Looking at his teammates whose morale had been severely hit, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything. He just said to Sturridge: "We need a goal!"

After Van Gaal scored another goal for his team, his goal had been achieved, 2:0 basically strangled the suspense of the game, and he immediately slowed down his team and started to have the ball again.

Klopp shouted loudly for Liverpool players to step up their running and continue to press. Now Liverpool's defensive attitude is much more proactive. There is no way, if they don't take the initiative, Manchester United can slow down the speed and calmly control the ball, making Liverpool helpless. Make efforts everywhere.

After a short few minutes of confusion, the Liverpool players started to fight again. Zhang Yuan’s thinking was different at this time. He started to move to the wing, and Sturridge often switched positions. He needed space to sprint. When Liverpool When the attack in the middle of the game can't be played, his idea is to use his trump card, speed and flexible dribbling.

At this time, Coutinho moved closer to the middle. He began to take on the task that Zhang Yuan had done just now, trying to help the midfielder control the ball as much as possible.

In the 73rd minute, Manchester United's midfield pass finally made a mistake. Liverpool's Henderson made a successful steal. He handed the ball to Coutinho in time. His old life slanted the ball to the right. The ball was hit behind Blind. After passing the ball, Coutinho and Fellaini's strong bodies collided.

Zhang Yuan has started to accelerate, Atkinson did not blow the whistle, the attack is favorable!
Blind's position is not very high. Manchester United's loss of the ball was a bit sudden. Blind, who was still behind Zhang Yuan, reacted. His first reaction was to intercept the ball, so he flew to block Cutie. Neo's ball, unfortunately, he overestimated himself, the ball stretched out and couldn't stop it, and slipped past him.

Blinder's action interfered with Zhang Yuan's judgment a little bit. When he saw the ball was still firmly moving to the predetermined track again, Zhang Yuan accelerated and flashed past Blind. The fans at the scene saw the speed.

Phil Jones also quickly moved towards the ball. Zhang Yuan estimated the distance. When Phil Jones pounced, Zhang Yuan knocked the back of his foot and gave the ball to Phil Jones when he was still far away. Changing direction, this is to stop the ball and pass people, it is done in one go, making full use of Phil Jones' movement inertia.

Phil Jones didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would stop and pass people like this, or he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would dare to do so from such a long distance.

Because of inertia and distance, Phil Jones didn't even have a chance to foul. His hand was flying weakly in the air, trying to hold Zhang Yuan, but he didn't put any pressure on Zhang Yuan at all. His hand just touched Zhang Yuan. far arm.

Zhang Yuan completed the dribble and went directly to the penalty area. De Gea was shifting, Smalling was also moving, and Sturridge followed up to find the best position.

shoot!pass the ball!
Zhang Yuan pretended to shoot violently, which attracted De Gea's attention and Smalling's thigh, but then gently pushed to the middle. Sturridge, who was unmarked, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball towards the goal. In the opposite direction, De Gea could do nothing but watch the ball go into the net!
Zhang Yuan ran to the goal net immediately, picked up the football, and pulled up the fallen Sturridge to run towards the center circle. During the run, he made a fist-raising motion at the Liverpool fans. I want to tell everyone that we haven't given up yet!

Klopp waved his fists, he should have done it long ago, to be precise, he should have gone to Sturridge, and he realized that Zhang Yuan still needs a player to help him attract attention on the front line , Sturridge is a good guy!

The Liverpool fans burst into cheers, and they roared angrily at the Manchester United players, we haven't lost yet, we still have to equalize and even win.

Van Gaal is also very hot. Manchester United players seem to be a little careless after leading 2:0. How can there be such a mistake in the midfielder's pass? !He reprimanded Fellaini who missed the ball on the field. Fellaini must bear the blame. Who made his head hot and charged forward. His skills were not up to standard, and he handed over the ball to Liverpool.

Liverpool, who scored a goal, played more and more energetically with one less player. The passing route was simple and direct, and they made full use of Zhang Yuan's speed dribbling breakthrough ability and Sturridge's desperate impact. Abolish Coutinho's left wing and let Coutinho thread the needle in the midfield.

Manchester United continued their old ways, and Liverpool made consecutive threatening shots within a few minutes.

In the 75th minute, after receiving Sturridge's ferry, Zhang Yuan kicked up and shot outside the penalty area, but he was very unlucky and hit the goal beam. De Gea escaped the shock catastrophe.

If this kind of ball is scored, it is wonderful, but if it is not scored, it is normal. After all, not everyone has the ability to control the ball well, but Zhang Yuan looks very annoyed. He has to admit that now he needs to Luck, but luck doesn't seem to be on his side.

In the 76th minute, it was Manchester United's own mistake again. Coutinho, Sturridge, and Zhang Yuan played a wonderful cooperation. Sturridge's shovel shot in the penalty area was bravely blocked by De Gea.

Not many people participated in Liverpool's offense, but it posed a greater threat!
