Chapter 598 This is Anfield!
In 2013, the mobile Internet has been promoted on a global scale, smartphones have long been standard equipment, and social networking sites such as Twitter and Fansibu have invaded every corner of society.

then……

Difference between Manchester United and Liverpool?
When Sun Wu stepped onto the Anfield stadium, there were violent boos from the stands that shocked the Liverpool players.

Suarez, who walked out of the player tunnel together, gloated at the wonderful expression on his friend's face, "Best, this is Anfield!"

"This is Anfield!" is one of the symbols of Liverpool. It appears above the gate of the player channel less than 10 meters away from the stadium. Every Liverpool player will reach out and touch it for good luck before playing at home.

The wall next to the slogan is engraved with the famous quote of Liverpool coach Shankly, "This slogan is to remind our players who they are fighting for, and it is also to remind the opponent who they are facing!"

Before the game, Ryan Giggs and Mike Phelan solemnly reminded the players that this is a special game!

Because this is Anfield!
And Sun Wu thought to himself in private, this sentence nakedly exposed the desperation and expectation of a former nobleman now...

This idea quickly disappeared from Sun Wu's mind!

"boom!"

An accurate sliding shovel broke the ball at Sun Wu's feet out of bounds, but Gerrard didn't stop and knocked Sun Wu over hard.

There was thunderous applause from the stands, but then boos broke out again.

The former was given to their captain Gerrard, and the latter was given to Sun Wu who was crying in pain on the ground.

"Stop pretending!" Firmino yelled at Sun Wu from the outside.

Phil Jones blushed and pushed Firmino away with a thick neck, and the two began to push and shove.

"Just started reporting for the starting lineup." Zhan Jun looked at the scene speechlessly, "Just 52 seconds into the opening, Gerrard gave Manchester United's new No. 7 Sun Wu a big blow."

"He is telling Sun Wu that this is Anfield!" Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Although I have never won the Premier League title, and I have not even participated in the championship for many years, Liverpool should never be underestimated!"

"Beep! Beep!" The referee Marina kept blowing his whistle to warn the players on both sides. After finally separating the two sides, Marina called Gerrard and Sun Wu aside.

"The penalty is fine..."

After hearing the line referee's firm reminder, Marina twitched his mouth and looked at Sun Wu who was limping over, "Best, you don't want to receive a yellow card so soon, do you?"

Sun Wu was taken aback and immediately stood up straight.

Marina turned to look at Gerald again, "Steve, you too."

"This is Anfield!" Gerrard said with a determined face.

"I'm tired of hearing this sentence!" Sun Wu rolled his eyes and immediately retorted: "This is still the earth!"

Marina sighed deeply in his heart, "Okay, be careful, I don't want to draw red cards too many times in this game!"

After the game restarted, Sun Wu was repeatedly harassed by Gerrard, Lucas, and Henderson in turn. He managed to escape cleverly several times, but the opponent immediately caught up and stalked him with hands and feet.

Need help... Sun Wu glanced at Sturridge next to Mota. This guy is a big killer when he is healthy.

"Paul!" Sun Wu pulled Pogba during a set kick and whispered, "Come closer to me."

Pogba has made a lot of attempts in training this week according to the requirements of the coaching staff. The biggest change is that he appears outside the penalty area more times than before.

"Manchester United's starting lineup has basically not changed much. Evans, who made several mistakes in the last round of the league, was not included in the squad. Phil Jones retreated to the back line, and Motta, who had just joined, started the game."

Zhan Jun looked at the data on the computer screen, "Judging from the past ten minutes, Motta's position is obviously a defensive midfielder. When the wing backs advance forward, they will make up for the position horizontally, and they will also retreat to make up for the back. The number of defensive line plays the role of the ball..."

"Well, Motta's defense is not weak. He destroyed Liverpool's counterattacks a few times, and he is not weak when he is tall." Zhang Lu agreed: "Of course, Motta is a versatile player. Take over the organization of the team."

Zhan Jun sighed regretfully, "In fact, he is more suitable to appear beside Sun Wu instead of behind. It is a pity that Manchester United lacks an excellent midfielder... Wait, let's look at this ball first, Motta's pick pass, Klose's header ferry……"

The unsuspecting 30-meter pass found a loophole in Liverpool's defense. Kolo Touré was obviously old and his mobility was not as good as before. Pogba threw a header from Touré to the center.

"Klose..."

"Joe Hart kept the goal clean. Hart, who was abandoned by Guardiola, has completed two clean sheets, and Bravo has conceded three consecutive games!"

Klose held his head in his hands in disbelief. He had already observed the goalkeeper's position in the air, and deliberately pushed in the opposite direction, but Hart jumped out like a spring and threw the ball out of the crossbar.

Pochettino on the sidelines flicked his hands and returned to the coach's bench in annoyance, while Klopp stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back indifferently.

Scenes like Motta's ability to use long-distance picks to find holes in Liverpool's defense will not appear frequently, and it can even be said to be difficult to appear. Liverpool's defense is not top-notch, but it has a strong recovery and dense personnel.

Mortensen on the commentary also found the problem, "As we all know, Klopp coaching Dortmund is famous for his oppressive style of play, frontcourt pressing and fast pass and cut cooperation in the midfield, and Pochettino's tactical style There are similarities, but this game, both sides are cautious and prefer to focus on defense."

Today's guest commentator is former Liverpool star Robbie Fowler, "Obviously, the attack line composed of Sturridge, Suarez and Shinji Kagawa makes Manchester United very afraid, but at the same time Klopp is also very afraid of Best's presence. Everyone saw the threat created in the counterattack from Best's performance in the last round of the league."

If Sun Woo could hear, he wouldn't agree with what Robbie Fowler said.

In fact, among the famous Premier League coaches, only Guardiola and Arsene Wenger will never die. No matter who they face, they stick to their own way, but the former fails occasionally, and the latter often fails now...

And Mourinho, Klopp and Pochettino are relatively flexible coaches who will make tactical adjustments according to different opponents.

The most typical ones are Klopp and Pochettino. When facing the middle and lower teams, they will press the frontcourt, control the ball, press the opponent's defense, and make a lot of crossovers in the frontcourt...

But when facing a strong enemy, they often let the team retreat a little bit, put the blocking and siege in their own half, and once the ball is stolen, they will play an efficient counterattack. Salah, Mane, Sun Xingmin is a duck to water in this tactic.

Sun Wu remembers very clearly that Klopp once used this tactic to embarrass Guardiola, often scoring consecutive goals in just 10 minutes.

Therefore, in the pre-match deployment of this double red meeting, Sun Wu solemnly reminded Pochettino to first stabilize the defense and then seek opportunities to score.

It was also under such circumstances that Motta made his debut as a starter. Judging from his performance in the first half and half an hour, he was quite outstanding.
