Chapter 1039 Continue!continue! !

Watching the Manchester United players quickly return to half-time to wait for the kick-off, Klopp's face was drawn very long, but he was not desperate, and the game was not yet time to admit defeat.

Klopp is not desperate, but Mike Phelan is completely desperate. He can understand that Sun Wu is determined to destroy Liverpool today. Maybe this has something to do with the racist slogans raised by Liverpool fans before the game.

In the next seven or eight minutes, Liverpool tried to push out, and Manchester United naturally gave up the high press to recover.

Liverpool felt that Sun Wu and Kanter partnered with double midfielders today, and Manchester United's central defense must have loopholes, but how could Sun Wu not know about it?

Sun Wu's countermeasure is to use the numerical advantage to make up for the lack of defensive quality. Both Griezmann and Falcao retreated to the central midfielder position to assist in the defense, which means that these two people completely gave up offense.

Within 3 minutes, Griezmann, Falcao and Kante intercepted the ball three times in a row in the middle. Liverpool's midfield organization was in a mess, not to mention Henderson and Nzonzi, and Coutinho himself was not that kind A player with great organizational talent, Gotze had to step in to catch the ball to assist in the organization.

In the 36th minute, Gotze came in and Coutinho hit the wall to cooperate and then slanted to the right. Piszczek inserted a low and flat pass at high speed, and Firmino stretched his leg to block the shot before Van Dijk. , but this shot was sideways and high. This was Liverpool's first shot of the game.

Seeing that Liverpool's midfield organization was gradually becoming smoother, Sun Wu raised his right hand and shouted a few words, making tactical gestures at his teammates.

Klopp on the sidelines was still wondering what this tactical gesture meant, but he soon understood.

In the 38th minute, Coutinho and Kanter were entangled. Van Dijk suddenly went up to steal the ball, and then sent a long-distance oblique ball without waiting for the opponent to press.

Facing Bailey's attack, Mane deftly poked the ball first, and then jumped away, dodging Bailly from the other side.

"Oh, Mane scored the ball... beautifully!"

"Mane speeds up...the speed is really fast, 2 against 3, 2 against 3!"

"Salah shot... Joe Hart, Hart again, his sixth save of the first half."

Klopp sighed, of course he understood now, but he couldn't come up with any good solution.

Although Griezmann and Falcao both retreated to assist in the defense, Salah and Mane on the two wings have super personal abilities. Two people are enough to play high-quality counterattacks, even if they can't get a good one. Falcao and Griezmann will also step forward to support.

In the final analysis, Klopp's Liverpool lacks an excellent midfield organizer. Of course, this does not mean that Liverpool lacks the confidence to attack.

However, in the face of Manchester United, which has a numerical advantage in defense, Liverpool has to deploy more manpower to be able to create a threat, and the weakness of the backcourt will also be enlarged. Matip, Bailly and Nzonzi can withstand it The impact of Salah and Mane?
In the rest of the first half, Liverpool recovered cautiously. They hoped to save the chance to decide the winner until the second half. After all, they still have an advantage in away goals, and they only need one goal to eliminate Manchester United.

But Sun Wu was gaining momentum, and immediately directed Manchester United to attack aggressively again. Klopp on the sidelines was so angry that his teeth were itchy. Mane and Salah are good players who can complete consecutive dribbles while advancing rapidly.

Gotze has good skills, but he is definitely not fast enough. Coutinho has the ability to pass the ball and has the stunt of piercing the cloud arrow, but speed and passing people are not his strong points. Depay has speed, but his side Opponent Pavard has not made many advances today, and his marking is very strict. Firmino... Uh, let's not talk about it.

Seeing Salah and Mane overwhelmed on both sides, Klopp's eyes were red, and he began to miss Dortmund's Reus.

In the last few minutes, Sun Wu honestly did not advance frequently, but protected behind with Kanter, and counter-robbed from time to time, but without Sun Wu, Manchester United's offense is still very brilliant.

In the 43rd minute, Salah made a rainbow on the left rib. Joe Hart watched the ball fly to the far corner without any reaction, and it flew out of the bottom line by rubbing the crossbar.

In the 1st minute of stoppage time, Mane and Luke Shaw played a wonderful cooperation of hitting the wall and overtook Piszczek, but was pulled down by the Polish defender from the side and rear at the penalty area line.

The referee Ming Chaqiu did not give a penalty, but only gave Piszczek a yellow card.

As Van Dijk received a header from Griezmann's free kick, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In the KOP stands, applause and boos alternated from time to time.

Players from both sides walked into the player tunnel in twos and threes. Sun Wu was a step slower because he had a few words with Rolf and Giggs... As a result, he had to leave the field under the shield of the riot police.

At the beginning, the Liverpool fans on both sides of the player tunnel were itchy. Now that only Sun Wu is there, how could they give up such a good opportunity...

Sun Wu, who pretended to be calm, was furious in his heart, what the hell is he bullying an honest man!

I think Bayern was so arrogant and domineering back then, but in this meeting, apart from Robben who couldn't control his mouth, even Hoeness didn't make any negative comments on Sun Wu and Manchester United...

Sun Wu encouraged himself so much in his heart... I haven't done well enough!
Back in the locker room, Sun Wu did not explain anything to Mike Phelan and Rolf, but said so to all players who played and did not play.

"Klopp is not a fool, 15 minutes is enough for him to find a countermeasure, and Liverpool will definitely make adjustments in the second half."

"But, let's keep attacking!"

"Today we just need to score!"

Sun Wu's eyes swept over the faces of the attacking players in the midfield. Griezmann, Falcao, Salah, and Mane who started today are all in good condition, especially Mane, who passes one pass one by one. Make a great contribution.

"Unless I have a clear tactical gesture, I don't need to save energy, I don't need to retreat deep to assist the defense, I just need to score, score!"

Sun Wu turned to look at Van Dijk and Lucas, "Liverpool's counterattack in the second half... If you need to foul, don't hesitate. On the one hand, don't give them a chance to shoot a direct free kick. On the other hand, don't be soft. After getting a yellow card, I will Substitution."

"In other words, in today's game, I will not make substitutions unless I am injured, exhausted, or get a yellow card."

"For 45 minutes in the second half, we only attacked from the beginning to the end. I will crush them with goals!"

After saying all this, Sun Wu looked at Phil Jones, "Where's the stuff?"

Phil Jones hesitated before taking out a piece of cardboard and a marker pen from his bag.

Sun Wu took it with a smile, and wrote a number on the cardboard with a marker.

Heavy panting sounded in the quiet locker room, and Sun Wu was very satisfied to see that almost all the starting players were full of fighting spirit, and seemed to be able to run another marathon.
