Chapter 278
"Hello, viewers, welcome to the 2017-18 season, the eighth round of the Premier League, the match between Liverpool and the Red Devils Manchester United brought to you by LeTV."

"This game was affected by the FIFA virus on the international match day, and Manchester United and Liverpool both suffered injuries."

"For Liverpool, Lovren pulled his thigh muscle against Croatia and Slovakia, James Milner and Wijnaldum were also injured."

"And Manchester United's Romero, Ashley Young and Fellaini are also plagued by injuries and did not appear in the squad for this game!"

"The performance of the two sides in the league, Manchester United has entered the state faster than Liverpool this season."

"Manchester United have achieved unbeaten results in the first seven rounds of the league this season. They are only four points behind Manchester City at the top of the list. They are very hopeful for the championship!"

"And if Liverpool lose this game, with the strong performance of the Manchester City duo this season, they may lose their qualifications to win the championship."

"Okay, the players are on the field, this is the lineup of the two sides for this game!"

Manchester United: [4231]

Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defender: Darmian Valencia Smalling Jones

Back midfielder: Pogba Matic

Attacking midfielder: Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Martial

Forward: Lukaku
Liverpool: [433]

Forward: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah

Midfielder: Moyang Fabinho Lallana
Defender: Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip-Arnold
Goalkeeper: Alisson
In this game, both sides can be said to be the strongest lineup, and the core is not missing.

As Zhan Jun said, Klopp is bound to win this double red game.

Otherwise, let Manchester City continue to widen the point difference to 8 points, and their probability of winning the championship will be infinitely close to zero.

It would be okay in other leagues, but in the Premier League, even 3 points are sometimes enough to make people desperate.

"Does anyone feel that Mo Yang has grown stronger like me?"

"I found out earlier, Mo Yang is obviously gaining muscle, I hope it won't affect his flexibility! Otherwise, it will be a tragedy."

"Personally, I don't think it is necessary for Mo Yang to gain muscle. His body is already very good among midfielders. His most important weapon is his aura-filled breakthrough and unconstrained creativity!"

"Right! Mo Yang, don't go astray!"

No, I have to go to his Weibo to remind him, don't let this guy mess around. "

"Hehe! Earn money from cabbage, and want to sell F!"

The time of this game is very friendly to domestic fans. It happened to be 07:30 in the evening, which made the barrage in the live broadcast room extremely lively.

12pm local time in England.

The first round of the 2017-2018 Premier League double red meeting officially started under the whistle of the referee Clattenburg.

However, it didn't take long for Klopp, who was as stable as a mountain on the coach's bench, to suddenly walk to the sidelines.

Because Mo Yang was restrained by Manchester United, the situation was a bit bad.

Standing on the sidelines and watching the Manchester United players restrict Mo Yang in the team's two attacks, Klopp looked stern. He never expected that the Portuguese would come up with new restrictive tactics against Mo Yang.

On the field, Mo Yang launched two charges towards Manchester United within 6 minutes.

But every time he stepped into the Manchester United half, no matter which side it was, he would be surrounded by three to five Manchester United players.

This siege can happen anywhere, anytime.

Once Mo Yang fell into the encirclement, Manchester United's defensive players would quickly shrink the front of the encirclement and compress his space for movement.

Not to mention passing the ball after breaking through, Mo Yang sometimes couldn't even get rid of it.

In the 8th minute of the game, Mo Yang came to the right to organize an attack.

He had just received a pass from Arnold in the ribs, and Manchester United's encirclement appeared again.

Martial and Lukaku teamed up to chase back from behind Moyang, and Damian on Moyang's right also blocked Moyang's path to move to the side.

At the same time, it also killed the possibility of Arnold's receiving route and Moyang's scoring.

In front of Moyang, Matic and Mkhitaryan rushed up together from left to right, restricting Moyang from continuing to break into the penalty area.

There is also Jones, who is directly in front of Mo Yang, ready to grab at any time.

The six Manchester United players, like a shrinking square cage, directly put Mo Yang inside.

As a result, there was no accident, and Mo Yang directly knocked Matic head-on.

But at the moment of the impact, Mo Yang still seized the fleeting opportunity and pushed with the arch of his left foot, trying to distribute the ball to Salah, who was adducting on the right at the top of the arc.

However, Jones suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and poked the ball halfway.

"Although Manchester United did not get the ball in the end, their defense against Mo Yang was extremely limited this time, and the effect was excellent." Seeing Manchester United's six defenses and one defense this time, Zhang Lu smiled happily .

Mourinho's tactic is not new. He used it on Messi when he was coaching Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

From another perspective, this means that Mo Yang's comprehensive ability has reached the level that Messi fears Mourinho.

It's just that the Mu-style cage tactics used on Mo Yang are now more perfect and more targeted.

"Mourinho is planning to take away a point?"

"This time defending Manchester United, even the forward players retreated collectively to participate in the defense."

"In this way, what offense does Manchester United have?"

"It was really ten people who participated in the defense just now! He doesn't want to score?" Zhan Jun smiled and asked his question.

Although he knew that Mourinho's tactics would never be so simple, he still couldn't think of how Manchester United could make up for the disadvantage of insufficient numbers in offense while investing so much offensive force.

"Mourinho should still play an efficient and concise counterattack in this game!"

"We can now see that Manchester United's formation is kept very compact, and there is not much room for Liverpool's players to attack at all."

"During this period, Manchester United's possession rate accounted for less than [-]%, and Mourinho gave up possession."

"Although Liverpool have a higher ball possession rate, facing a compact formation like Mourinho, they are moving the ball most of the time. In addition, Mo Yang is largely restricted by Manchester United and cannot organize. They can attack effectively, so Liverpool can't really threaten Manchester United at all."

"To sum it up in one sentence, the first part of Mourinho's tactics is to allow Liverpool to control the ball, but not let them create too many offensive opportunities, and then wait for the opportunity to seek the quick, efficient and concise counterattack that he is best at."

"The crux of the problem now is how Mourinho will threaten Liverpool's goal." Zhang Lu analyzed everything.

Like Zhan Jun, he is also very curious about Mourinho's second part of tactics.

Although Mourinho has been labeled "conservative defense" by the media in recent years, "only puts the bus" and other defensive labels.

This statement is actually wrong and absurd!

If Mourinho can only defend, then how could he lead his team to win two Champions League titles, as well as Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and other league titles.

In Serie A, Mourinho led Inter Milan to an unprecedented treble in Serie A.

During the Galacticos period, he led the Real Madrid stars and set a single-season La Liga scoring record of 121 goals in a single season.

So it is extremely ridiculous to say that such a world-class head coach cannot attack.

He has a complete set of offensive philosophy of his own.

So in Zhang Lu's view, whether Manchester United can win this game depends on whether Mourinho can restrain Mo Yang while stimulating Manchester United's offensive attributes in the frontcourt.

Otherwise, once Klopp is allowed to figure out a countermeasure, Manchester United's end may not be too optimistic.
