Chapter 1025 Advance to the Finals
Hey, Klopp may not pay much attention to this FA Cup semi-final, but you must know that there will be two double-red games in the future. It is impossible to lose the first game without any impact on the next two Champions League semi-finals.

Time is running out, Liverpool also gave up the infiltration that they are not good at, Robertson and Arnold on the two wings keep sending crosses, Firmino, Lallana, Depay all rush into the penalty area, even if they can't get a point, they still have to interfere The Manchester United defender's clearance action, Shinji Kagawa, Coutinho, and Nzonzi are looking for a second spot on the outside.

Sun Wu also made adjustments according to the situation. First, he replaced the exhausted Lucas with Luke Shaw. The latter had the highest running distance in the game today, and then replaced him with Rojo. Phil Jones who received a yellow card.

In the 78th minute, under the interference of Depay, Rojo made a difficult header to clear the siege. Shinji Kagawa from the periphery cleverly picked the ball to get rid of Fletcher. He volleyed with his left foot 25 meters from the goal. De Gea lifted the crossbar with one hand .

In the 82nd minute, Depay forcibly broke through and fell on the left side of the penalty area. This time, before the two sides started a fight, Atkinson gave the Dutch winger a yellow card, an obvious flop.

In the 85th minute, Robertson made a cross from the left, and the ball made a tricky arc to bypass the front point, but Van Dijk leaped high and beat Firmino with a header to make a clearance.

Sun Wu on the outside wanted to catch the ball, but Shinji Kagawa had already rushed over... Sun Wu squeezed back hard!
"Sun Wu... Kagawa is here." Zhang Lu reminded loudly in the live broadcast room.

But at the next moment, Sun Wu squeezed back hard again, uh, this time the ball landed in front of Sun Wu, and then bounced and flew over the heads of Sun Wu and Shinji Kagawa who were deliberately short.

No way, the Japanese are really short, and it's useless to stretch their necks temporarily.

"Griezmann... beautiful heels!"

"Mane, Mane!"

Griezmann volleyed his heels ahead of Nzonzi and padded behind him. Although Matip was closer to the ball, Matip forcibly overtook the ball inside and outside the line and took the ball first. Facing the attacking Joe Hart cross, Sa Rah easily scored the empty goal.

"2 to 0, 2 to 0, Manchester United eliminated Liverpool and advanced to the FA Cup final. This is the first time Manchester United has entered the final again after 10 years!"

When directing the team to aggressively counterattack, Klopp had already expected such an ending. He didn't have any complaints about the conceded goal, but it felt a bit weird for no reason.

Uh, Mane strikes, Salah scores.

And it was Mane who assisted Salah to score against the goalkeeper, tsk tsk, what a grudge...

Five minutes later, the referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Manchester United beat Liverpool 5-2 to advance to the 0th FA Cup final.

"Best, there are still two games." Klopp shook hands with Sun Wu calmly.

Sun Wu nodded with a smile, "Jurgen, actually Liverpool played well this time."

Klopp's lips trembled, he withdrew his hand vigorously, and walked into the player's tunnel without looking back.

They played well, but they were still completely defeated... Rolf and Mike Phelan were speechless. Best's character of stabbing his opponent after winning the ball...is too hateful.

In fact, what Sun Wu said this time is that Liverpool played fairly well today, but basically did not leave any big loopholes for Manchester United. The reason why Manchester United won the game was more because of the players' flashes of inspiration at critical moments.

No matter from a tactical point of view, or player execution and status, Liverpool's performance today is not weaker than Manchester United.

But what Sun Wu can be sure of is that the next two double-red games... probably won't score too many goals, and the game is likely to be deadlocked and boring.

Klopp did not use high-position pressing tactics in the entire game today except for the counterattack at the last moment. The strangling of Sun Wu by the two midfielders was a success.

Although this is due to the fact that Manchester United also deployed double defensive midfielders, which led to Sun Wu's lack of helpers, Klopp also keenly discovered that if he does not pursue a comprehensive offensive, defending Sun Wu is not a world-class problem. Chinese players are not strong enough to get rid of in a small space.

According to the usual practice, Manchester United players circled the field to pay tribute to the fans. Griezmann, who performed poorly in the first half, became a star in the second half. He even threw his socks into the stands. The teammates on the side They clicked their tongues one after another, the French were sweaty!
However, Sun Wu often misses this link this season, because he still has to attend the post-match press conference.

At the press conference, Klopp and Sun Wu were relatively restrained. Compared with the previous double red meetings, although there was a riot today, it was generally calm...but it may be a moment of calm before the storm, and there will be more It's two big games.

However, some reporters pointed out that Manchester United's goal this season is already at the end of the season. For Manchester United, the Triple Crown is by no means illusory.

The league championship is basically irrelevant. The Champions League semi-final opponent Liverpool, the FA Cup final Tottenham or Manchester City, these three teams have been defeated by Manchester United in recent years. There have been draws, but they have never lost.

Sun Wu on the stage cursed the reporter secretly, what the hell is a draw, the two draws in the Champions League semi-finals may also lead to Manchester United being eliminated, and there will be penalties after the draw in the FA Cup final!
Therefore, Sun Wu resolutely sticks to his principles, and at this time he needs to save his character.

Back in the locker room, Sun Wu immediately asked about Fabinho's injury. In the following games, the Brazilian midfielder will play an important role.

"It has been checked, the problem is not serious, and it is being applied with ice." Dr. Swell said with a smile: "Take a day off tomorrow, and you can resume training the day after tomorrow."

Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Fletcher is also good at defense, he is 32 years old after all, and his physical function has declined due to the illness that year, so he is far from being on the same level as Fabinho in confrontation.

Mike Phelan walked into the locker room, raised his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Manchester City beat Tottenham in the midweek make-up game, this time Pochettino took revenge."

"Is it Tottenham?" Sun Wu was also a little surprised. The semi-final between Tottenham and Manchester City was an hour later than this one.

"Well, Mata scored directly from a free kick, Sane equalized the score, and Son Xingmin shot the lore from a long distance."

Sun Wu frowned and thought about it. Generally speaking, Tottenham are easier to deal with than Manchester City. In the first half of the season, Manchester United started a 22-game winning streak after defeating Tottenham by a big score.

But Pochettino's familiarity with United, and several stars who have moved from Manchester United to Tottenham have performed well this season, may spell trouble for United.

This season, Tottenham's league record is mediocre, currently ranked fifth, but its offensive power is not much inferior to Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Ali, Januzaj, Lamela, Eriksson, Sun Xingmin, and Mata all performed good.

The most important thing is that Lukaku was reborn from the ashes. He currently scored 21 league goals and ranked third in the scorer list. There are only Diego Costa with 28 goals and Griezmann with 25 goals.

Sun Wu believes that facing Manchester United, Lukaku will be full of motivation.
