Football’s First Defender

　　 The final score of the focus match between Liverpool and Arsenal was fixed at 2-1. Both sides got a lot of chances in the second half of the game, but they did not score any more goals.

　　 Liverpool is not able to seize opportunities, but Arsenal has encountered Yang Feng's excellent defensive play.

　　 In the subsequent games, both sides were unable to score and rewrite the score. Liverpool still held on to the victory of this game.

Although Liverpool suffered a two-game losing streak in the away game before, but the top two teams in the standings, Leicester City and Arsenal, have won the game, which is considered for Liverpool. This is a considerable record.

　　 This kind of match on the road to the championship, which is equivalent to a single 6-point match, won 2 games in a row. For Liverpool, it is not let the points gap be too wide.

　　 Imagine if they were defeated in a two-game losing streak against Leicester City and Arsenal, then it is possible that Liverpool, after this wave of losing streak, would explode on the spot and completely withdraw from the championship.

　　 After the victory in this game, the focus of the media reports after the game was focused on Yang Feng.

　　 In Klopp's tactical system, Yang Feng played extremely well in this game.

　　 In the game's offensive and defensive performance, Yang Feng played to the extreme.

　　 Yang Feng almost relied on his own power in the second half, appearing in key positions many times, preventing Arsenal's attack and intercepting the chance to score.

　　 Of course, this shocking defensive performance can be demonstrated by Yang Feng Market.

　　 The most worthy mention of this game is Yang Feng, who performed well on the offensive end of the game.

　　 Especially at the beginning of the game, Yang Feng was on the offensive end and suddenly started to organize the team. It also allowed many professional media reporters to find the gossip. Klopp has been training new tactics.

　　 Judging from the effect of the game, the new tactics are not bad. Yang Feng is very adaptable to the midfield position on the offensive end. On the offensive end, he can also fully display his passing strength.

　　 When Yang Feng attacked, he moved to the midfield position to organize in advance, which is very obvious for Liverpool's offensive supplement.

　　 After defeating the stumbling block of Arsenal, Liverpool still has a more important game to deal with.

　　 If it is said that against Leicester City, and Arsenal, this season's championship competition, then more important than the key game of the championship, of course, is the double red club.

　　 The second double red club this season, this time it was held at Anfield Stadium.

　　 At the beginning of the season, it was Manchester United who defeated Liverpool and allowed Liverpool to sack Rogers directly, which allowed Klopp to take office quickly.

It was after the change of coaches that Liverpool quickly recovered and won the Club World Cup. Not to mention, in the league, they were also courageously catching up. Although the two defeats after the new year, they still have a certain gap with the top team. , However, the two victories in the strong duel let everyone know that Liverpool has returned to the championship echelon.

　　 But the situation with Manchester United is the opposite.

　　 In the league, Manchester United broke through and collapsed since the end of November.

In the last 8 Premier League games, Manchester United only won 1 game, 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses, and only scored 7 points. Especially the 3-game losing streak before Boxing Day made Manchester United not only lose the pressure on the championship team. , And even fell directly out of the Champions League zone, the UEFA Europa League qualifications are almost lost.

　　Since Ferguson Ferguson retired, Manchester United’s performance has really plummeted. No matter how the coach or the players are changed, the team does not have the oppressive power that used to be in the Premier League and the momentum of giving up to me.

　　 Klopp's side is a shortage of players. Liverpool's bench lineup is comparable to Tottenham and Arsenal. When facing Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City, which is not short of money, the strength gap on the bench is really obvious.

　　 Even if this is a double match of the week, Klopp's starting lineup selection is no different from the previous round against Arsenal.

　　Because Liverpool can play a lot of players, but there may be so many players who can quickly adapt to the team's current system.

　　 Different from Klopp's dissatisfaction with the strength and style of the substitute players, Manchester United is quite overcrowded.

A veteran, a rising star; the past players of Manchester United, and the new aid recently bought at a high price, the entire list is full of combatable forces, but how to integrate these players together to choose the most suitable 11-man starting lineup , It is difficult to break Van Gaal.

　　 Manchester United gave Van Gaal enough materials and all his needs were met. But now, Chef Fan is still unable to make a full table of ordinary home-cooked dishes, but it cannot meet the requirements of a good football club.

　　 For Van Gaal, this game is like Rogers' situation at the beginning of the season.

This double red match between Liverpool and Manchester United will have a great symbolic significance. In the end, can Van Gaal become a coach like Ferguson~www.readwn.com~ stay at Manchester United for a long time and get the chance to continue to prove himself, or with Like Moyes, just the Red Devils hurriedly pass by.

　　 If you can win the double-red game and achieve the season's double-kill Liverpool achievement, then even if the team's record is not good, Van Gaal's position in the hearts of the fans should be good.

But if Van Gaal cannot lead the team to retreat in the away game in this double red meeting, even if there is a rout, even if Manchester United will not immediately quit Van Gaal, the anger of the fans may prevent him from staying. In Manchester United, Manchester United may have to look for a coach again.

　　 Facing Liverpool, who has performed very well on the offensive end recently, Van Gaal thought about it and compared various types of players on the big list. In the end, he put out a quite "recognizable" lineup on the away field.

　　 The three midfielders Fellaini, Schneiderlin, and Herrera, three defensive midfielders, showed Manchester United's determination to defend away.

　　 In the limited offensive investment, veteran Rooney started today as the single arrow.

　　 Although Rooney's state is declining, as Everton's debut, Manchester United's peak player, in Manchester United's current lineup, Rooney may be the most enthusiastic player to play Liverpool.

　　 Van Gaal hopes that Rooney's focused attitude towards the game can be used to inspire the overall spirit of the Manchester United players and to have a better performance in the game.

　　 In addition to Rooney, Martial also has Lingard, who are separated on the left and right to carry out the breakthrough task in the offensive position, and the advancing task on the counterattack side.

　　 Staying on and fighting back is the way Van Gaal’s away game is...
