Chapter 57 Liverpool’s goal
  Unknowingly, the game has reached the 35th minute.

During this period, Liverpool had an absolute advantage and created many shooting opportunities, but they were unable to convert them into goals in the face of Manchester United's tough bus and peak De Gea.

Of course, Manchester United also seized the opportunity to launch several counterattacks.

But the effect couldn't be worse.

Because Liverpool made targeted arrangements for Manchester United's left wing.

First, the technical advantages of Salah and Wijnaldum were used to suppress Damian and Matic, thus leaving Chu Feng in an isolated and helpless state.

Then Gomez withstood Chu Feng personally, forming an encirclement with Matip and Henderson.

Due to Damian's lack of offensive power, Matic was limited by poor mobility, and Lukaku had no time to help the wing, making Liverpool's strategy very effective.

After just a few dozen minutes, Chu Feng's body was covered with dirt and grass clippings, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

The boos at Anfield grew louder.

"Do you, the cowards of Manchester, dare to fight us?"

"Mourinho only knows how to drive the bus!"

"There are no championship players, they are just a bunch of turtles!"

At this time, Mourinho remained calm on the sidelines, analyzing the situation on the court.

When the opponent's technology is superior, there is no problem in letting the entire formation retreat.

As for going out to fight, as long as his brain is not broken, he will not make such a stupid decision.

Moreover, the best time to counterattack is after 65 minutes, when Klopp replaces the frontcourt players.

Although a long period of crazy running can have the effect of suppressing the opponent, it also consumes a huge amount of physical energy for one's own players, which can be said to be a double-edged sword.

Whether it is beneficial or harmful depends entirely on the skill of the sword wielder.

On the other side, Klopp's eyes hidden under his peaked cap were extremely sharp, and he kept issuing his instructions to the field.

Many coaches in football use high pressing.

Among them, Guardiola is accustomed to combining it with ball control to control the rhythm of the game and better save physical energy.

Conte emphasized pressing width, flattening the entire formation, driving opponents to the wings, and then sweeping them away.

Another example is Sacchi's high-intensity confrontation.
  But none of them are as crazy as Klopp. Not only does he not give his opponents a chance to breathe, he even squeezes his own players dry from beginning to end.

Under such high-intensity pressure, Manchester United's backcourt defense is like a crumbling high-rise building that may collapse at any time.

The 41th minute of the game.

The desperate running of the Liverpool players paid off.

Henderson deliberately got out of Mkhitaryan's blind spot, first used his body to resist the interference, and then took the opportunity to complete a clean steal, and then used a precise through ball to find Firmino who was retreating from the hinterland to meet.

it's not finished yet.

Firmino is the perfect adapter for Klopp's tactics and the definer of the new era of centre-forwards.

He will not choose to blindly approach the goal and shoot, but will choose to open up space for his teammates and become the connector of Liverpool's two-wing attack.

Firmino quickly moved the ball to the wing, attracting the attention of Phil Jones and Damian.

This is how space is created.

at the same time.

Salah penetrated the penalty area from the side and back, like a lightning bolt.

At this time, Zhan Jun in the commentary box stood up subconsciously, and his hoarse voice echoed in the live broadcast room.

"Firmino crosses, Salah pushes!"

"The goal went in!"

"The crazy frontcourt pressure, the tacit cross-positioning, and the connection between the Jade-Faced Man and the Egyptian Pharaoh helped Liverpool take the lead!"

"Towards the end of the first half, the deadlock on the field was finally broken!"

Bullets flew across the live broadcast room, seeming to flood the screen.

  [Egyptian Messi, save the Red Army! 】
-
  [This attack is so beautiful! 】
-
  [If this continues, Manchester United may lose. 】
-
  [Mourinho's bus is not good either. It was suppressed by Liverpool throughout the whole process and was not even qualified to fight back. 】
-
  [Let’s take a look at the statistics of both sides. Liverpool shot 19 times, Manchester United shot 6 times, and only 1 shot was on target. If it weren’t for the eight-handed De Gea, he would have been beaten. 】
-
  [It’s a pity for Xiao Chu. He is used as a full-back, and his dribbling skills are not that high. 】
-
  [Individuals must obey the overall tactics. 】
-
  [Don’t be anxious, all I can say is don’t be anxious. 】

  【.】

Anfield Stadium at this time. Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans cheered so loudly that they seemed to tear down the roof of the stands.

"Oh!"

Then they sang the second team song side by side.

"The fields of Anfield Road (Great Anfield)!"

"And we come from Liverpool!"

“Allez, Allez, Allez!!!”

For Liverpool fans, nothing is more wonderful than breaking through the door of their arch-rivals. They just feel like drinking a can of beer in the dog days of summer, and they feel great from beginning to end.

There was also a lively scene on the green field.

Salah ran for tens of meters and then slid to his knees handsomely. Today's game also has a different meaning for him.

When he was loaned to Fiorentina by Chelsea and when Mourinho scolded him until he cried, these were all buried deep in his heart.

Now I can finally vent all the frustration in my heart.

But actually he doesn't have much resentment.

After all, it was Mourinho who personally brought him to Chelsea and gave him 19 appearances in the first year.

But at that time, the public opinion from the outside world put great mental pressure on him and almost destroyed him, so he took the initiative to ask to leave the team.

It was that experience that gave him a tough heart to return to the Premier League.

Liverpool teammates gathered around to hug and celebrate.

At this time, Klopp, who was on the sidelines of the court, threw his peaked cap on the ground excitedly and let out a long sigh of relief.

If the high-position pressure fails to score a goal, there will eventually be a serious backlash. Fortunately, the stalemate has been broken.

The next step is to pursue the victory and strive to expand the score advantage.

Mourinho on the other side pointed at the players on the field and shouted.

"Remember what I told you, everyone strengthens our defense!"

His words were covered by the noise and did not spread far, but they had no impact.

Manchester United's team is basically full of players with high mental attributes, such as Phil Jones, Valencia, Chu Feng, etc. They will not lose their fighting spirit just because they fall behind by one goal.

"come on!!!"

The Manchester United players roared in unison and returned to their positions.

Soon, the game started again.

Liverpool took advantage of the situation and continued to launch crazy high pressure. Every player's eyes revealed a fierce look.

They were going back to the locker room with a two-goal lead.

But the Manchester United players defended very resolutely, fighting for the football like food, even at the cost of fouls.

The 44th minute of the game.

Herrera tripped Coutinho and received a yellow card.

Under great pressure, time seems to slow down.

First half stoppage time.

Phil Jones flew to block the hole of the gun and blocked Henderson's long shot.

The referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half.

Players from both teams left the field exhausted and returned to the locker room to rest.
