Chapter 1040 This is a lunatic

Boos and curses filled the entire Anfield stadium, and countless home fans' eyes were burning, and they wanted to jump down and give the Manchester United No. 7 a big mouth.

In fact, the atmosphere was not like this when the players from both sides played in the second half. The scene where the flags were flying in the stands and the home fans sang "Never Walk Alone" was moving.

In adversity, but indomitable, retrograde, this is a major characteristic of the Liverpool club, and it is also what the Red Army fans are most proud of. They tried to use singing to help the team complete another epic reversal.

But soon, the singing was gone, and only boos resounded through the stadium.

Immediately after the kick-off, Manchester United pressed forward aggressively, pressing Liverpool tightly in the backcourt with a crazy high press.

Although Mane, Lucas, and Kanter received three consecutive yellow cards for this, Manchester United completed six shots in the first 10 minutes of the second half, three of which hit the target. If it weren't for Joe Hart's magical save, Liverpool's goal Already riddled with holes.

"Best, you are such a lunatic!" Coutinho glared at Sun Wu.

During the intermission, Klopp judged that Manchester United would replace Fabinho or Fletcher with an attacker to ensure the balance of offense and defense. After all, Manchester United led 2-0 and led 4-3 on aggregate.

All Liverpool players agreed with Klopp's judgment, but they all guessed wrong... This is why Coutinho said "You are such a madman"!
Klopp clenched his hands nervously on the sidelines. He carefully watched the running positions of Manchester United's frontcourt players, and sensitively discovered something different from the first half.

The key is still Griezmann.

In the first half, whether Griezmann was shooting, passing the ball, playing the ball, or playing the wall, he was always in the middle. His presence greatly restricted Liverpool's defensive strength in the middle.

But now it is different. Griezmann's running position is very flexible. He inserts into the penalty area to grab points, retreats and cooperates with Sun Wu's pass.

The most important thing is that once Griezmann appears on the ribs or on the side, there will always be a player in the middle to take over, it may be Sun Wu, it may be Salah, or it may be Mane.

The smooth change of positions between them made Liverpool's defensive players at a loss. The most unlucky ones were Henderson and N'Zonzi. They could only guess the direction of the opponent's attack...

The running positions of Manchester United's frontcourt players are very purposeful. They run so much, but they are not running around. The hard work of the coaching staff throughout the season shines brightly in this game.

In the 56th minute, Griezmann made a short pass to Luke Shaw on the left, and then slanted Mane. The latter made a wall and gently dialed the ball. Entering the left side of the penalty area, Henderson was forced to withdraw to supplement the defense.

But at this moment, Griezmann sent a return pass with his left foot, and the ball appeared outside the penalty area.

"Griezmann...pass back?"

"Oh, Mane is unguarded!"

"Curveball to the far corner... Joe Hart didn't respond... Only a little bit!"

Mike Phelan watched nervously as Mane's shot hit the post and flew out of the baseline, and then jumped up anxiously. After more than ten minutes, the situation was so dominant, but he couldn't score the third goal!

Sun Wu was also ruthless in his heart, saying that winning the Triple Crown requires luck.

What is the so-called luck?
It was the two combos of Sheringham and Solskjaer in 1998!
In 2010, Milito played the best season of his entire career!
But if Ferguson's Manchester United can't persist until the last moment, how can they wait for that magical moment?

If Mourinho hadn't driven Ibrahimovic away and trusted the little-known Milito, how could he have scored twice in the Champions League final?

The so-called luck exists, but only by persevering until the last moment and putting in everything you have, can luck come suddenly!
Sun Wu on the field is being ruthless, and Klopp is also being ruthless on the sidelines. It is a shame that he has only shot once in the whole game, and Uncle Zha had to make adjustments.

In the 58th minute, Liverpool took the lead in making the first substitution, replacing Piszczek with Arnold.

Sun Wu couldn't understand Klopp's substitution, Piszczek's offense and defense were relatively balanced, and Arnold's offense was relatively strong and his defense was weak.

But soon Sun Wu understood.

In the 62nd minute, Luke Shaw made a pass from the left, and Matip beat Falcao to make a header.

Kanter only cared about guarding against Henderson, Coutinho and even Firmino. He didn't expect that the right winger Gotze would appear in this position.

Gotze knocked the ball back with his heel, and Firmino, who was firmly resisting Van Dijk, barely stopped the ball and then dialed the ball. Gotze grabbed the ball before Kanter, but the German did not go forward but brought it back. ball.

Just when Kanter was relieved, Gotze suddenly picked up the ball and rubbed it to the right.

Arnold, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, rushed forward, squeezed away Luke Shaw abruptly, and the header accelerated a bit to completely shake off the latter.

Just under the KOP stands, next to Klopp who was screaming, Arnold accelerated and accelerated in the empty Manchester United backcourt like black lightning.

It was not until Lucas forced over that Arnold sent a signature oblique cross. The ball bypassed Van Dijk and Firmino in the front point. After Depay barely stopped the ball under Pavard's close pressing return.

Coutinho, who caught up, made a direct shot from the penalty area line, but the next moment he smashed the ball away from Kanter, and then shot into the far corner with his right foot.

De Gea has obviously studied Coutinho's shot. At the moment of Coutinho's shot, the Spanish goalkeeper moved a step to the far side, and then blocked the ball with a side throw. The ball hit the junction of the crossbar and the post. Rebounding back, Lucas quickly made a big-foot clearance.

"A little bit, a little bit!" Liverpool fan Zhan Jun sighed regretfully: "Coutinho has done his best, but De Gea has also done his best!"

"He shoots well and defends beautifully. This game is really picturesque in the frontcourt and De Gea in the backcourt!"

Klopp looked up to the sky and sighed, while Mike Phelan asked Fletcher, Phil Jones, and Fabinho to warm up with a livid face.

Klopp's adjustment is to let Gotze come back to receive the ball and organize, and at the same time give way to Arnold who is plugging in at high speed on the right.

Although Gotze's transposition was surprising and Arnold's breakthrough was wonderful, but it has to be admitted that the yellow card on Kanter affected Manchester United's midfield interception and counter-robbery, and the yellow card on Lucas made Manchester United He was very careful when doing the movements, at least the intensity was greatly reduced.

Sun Wu glanced at Klopp blankly, and then made a motionless tactical gesture to Mike Phelan.

During the intermission, Sun Wu considered that if the defensive player gets a yellow card, he will leave the field, but the problem is that he has not scored the third goal yet, and the offensive line may need to be adjusted. Sun Wu wants to see again...

Sun Wu yelled at his teammates, "Go on, go on, score another goal!"

Firmino stared at Sun Wu and muttered to himself, "This is really a lunatic!"
