Star Card System

Looking at the Liverpool players celebrating excitedly on the court, Mourinho frowned.

I didn't expect that I conceded the goal right after the game started.

Perrin next to him shouted to the field: "Pay attention to the defensive formation!"

There is a certain defensive responsibility for conceding the ball just now.

Of course, the opponent's trident is still too powerful.

The sudden and resolute pressure at the start caught Manchester United off guard.

Many Manchester United fans agree with what Carragher said in the live broadcast room just now.

"Liverpool's ceiling is high."

This is true.

And they always have.

Ever since they won the five-time crown, Liverpool's striker has always been sharp and extremely offensive.

If it weren't for the lack of stable performance, they would have returned to the top ranks long ago.

And today, their trident showed its power.

Mourinho did not blame the players for the attack just now.

After all, even he himself was a little unresponsive on the sidelines.

too fast.

Salah's breakthrough is very sharp. Every time the former Chelsea player sees him, he has a strong desire to express himself.

In a few consecutive actions, he passed the defense of Rashford and Pogba, and his breakthrough ability is the best in the world.

In the end, Mane's stop-and-go action was quite deft, and his final shot was also very decisive.

Salah is Liverpool's star forward, but Mane's strength is definitely on the same level as him.

He can also pass and carry, and his finishing ability is top-notch.

The most important part of this goal is Firmino's connection.

Two wingers rushed forward, and Firmino decisively moved forward to serve as a pillar. He did not go deep into the penalty area, but responded at the top of the penalty area.

The pass just after the connection was definitely the finishing touch of this goal.

This goal was not thrown unjustly...

Even so, no one wants to concede the ball.

The Liverpool people finished celebrating, and the Manchester United soldiers couldn't wait for the game to start again.

Standing on the edge of the court, Mourinho loudly encouraged the players a few words, and then continued to watch the game quietly.

Although the ball was lost just after the start, it was just an emergency and nothing serious.

After the restart, Manchester United also launched a wave of attacks.

After several forward players cooperated in the frontcourt, Rashford used his speed to open a passage on the left.

Faced with the tight defense of Liverpool right back Alexander-Arnold, Rashford could no longer break through.

Although Arnold's defensive strength is good, after all, he is a player who is good at assists.

Rashford's personal skills are not top-notch, but his speed is extremely fast, and the two are equally matched against each other.

Manchester United quickly hit the middle, looking for Pogba.

Pogba passes the ball to the right again, looking for Sanchez.

Sanchez received the ball and suddenly cut inside facing the defense!

About 28 meters away from the goal, with a kick, the ball flew up quickly and fell at high speed!

It was a good shot, but it was still slightly wide of the goal.

Manchester United's attack came to nothing.

Five minutes later, Manchester United launched another attack.

This time it was Xia Xing's defense in the middle, who intercepted the ball and passed the ball directly.

The ball found Pogba accurately.

Outside the penalty area, Pogba shot furiously!

The ball slid out of the goal.

Manchester United once again missed a good chance to score.

The Red Devils fans in the stands applauded their players.

However, Mourinho frowned again on the sidelines.

Comparing the two teams, Liverpool is indeed better than Manchester United in many scores.

This must be acknowledged.

Especially the strength of the strikers is very different.

Manchester United has many strong forwards. Lukaku is worth nearly 100 million, Sanchez was once Arsenal's thigh, and Rashford is Manchester United's supernova.

Such a trio, with Pogba behind him, should have produced an excellent chemical reaction.

But not exactly.

Three people, or four people, can maximize their personal abilities, but the meshing is insufficient.

Many of Manchester United's outstanding offenses this season have mostly relied on individual flashes of Xia Xing's combination and forwards.

Simply talking about the striker, Manchester United is really not as good as Liverpool.

In Mourinho's mind, Liverpool's forward trident is definitely the world's top level.

If he was asked to choose, he would even choose the former between this striker combination and the BBC.

Because Liverpool's striker not only has the ability to score goals, but also has team spirit, but also has strong running ability and dedication.

Take Firmino, for example, he is the most distinctive player among the three.

Many fans like Salah because of his lightning speed and one-hit victory.

But Mourinho prefers Mane and Firmino the most.

Regarding Firmino's position on the field, many football experts call him a "forward-back".

He is the first line of defense in Klopp's full-court press tactics.

The Brazilian center's ability to counterattack on the spot and his dedication to making plays for his teammates are of the highest level.

It's hard to find another striker of this type in Europe.

The deft running and selfless play just now reflect his value.

In the following period, Manchester United attacked less often than Liverpool, but there were not many threatening attacks.

And Liverpool played vigorously every time they attacked together, repeatedly threatening Manchester United's goal.

In the 33rd minute of the game, the Liverpool Trident once again joined forces to perform wonderfully.

This time it was Salah's quick breakthrough again. After being blocked by Xia Xing, he quickly hit back.

Captain Henderson received the ball.

He did not stick to the ball, but passed it directly to Firmino.

The Brazilian striker retreated from the penalty area to get the ball and received it calmly.

He controlled it a little, quickly rubbed it, and passed it to the right side of the penalty area!

Salah rushed into the goal and got a chance!

Under Xia Xing's blockade, he had no chance to shoot, but he found the angle to cross the ball!

Xia Xing did not dare to kick easily, after all, he might be awarded a penalty.

He could only look forward to his teammates' defense.

Salah passed the ball!

Firmino, who had just passed the ball, had already cruised to the front of the goal!

His running was very sharp!

He looked tall, but his running and positioning were very smart!

Facing Smalling's defense, he kicked and shot on the small penalty area line!

The ball went into the lower right corner of the goal!

"The ball went in!"

"Excellent cooperation!"

"Firmino made a contribution!

"2-0!

"Liverpool scored another goal!

"They once again expanded their lead!

"This goal is another wonderful cooperation of the front trident!

"Firmino made a pass in the middle, passed it to Salah, and then turned and sprinted into the penalty area!

"Salah's pass was just right!

"Firmino's shot was neat and simple, but extremely deadly!

"It was wonderful!

"Although Mane did not directly participate in this goal,

"but his running in the midfield and insertion in the penalty area,

"also disrupted Manchester United's arrangement,

"and played a key role in the final goal.

"I must say that Liverpool's front trident now,

"is the most perfect front line in my mind!" (End of this chapter)
