Chapter 931 Those Protagonists

Premier League games have always been known for their fast-paced offense and defense, fierce fighting, and frequent physical confrontation. Last season, Sun Wu's comparison of blood and tears added fuel to the fire.

However, the Premier League has recognized that there are two most intense and popular games, one is the Double Red Club, and the other is the Merseyside Derby, both of which are related to Liverpool.

However, in today's double red meeting, the coaches and players of both sides obviously put more attention on football than on each other. Uh, maybe this has something to do with Gerrard's departure.

Manchester United's offense is smooth and flowing, and at the same time, there is no lack of toughness in high-position pressing. Although Liverpool's counterattack is definitely not fast, the passing and cutting moves between the three and two are pleasing to the eye.

After 30 minutes into the first half, Sun Wu began to adjust the direction of attack. Henderson strengthened his position on the left side. Pavard advanced forward and received a strong interception, and Bernardo Silva was not fast enough. Unable to suppress the opponent.

Sun Wu's eyes fell on Arnold on the other side.

In the 34th minute, Sun Wu and Griezmann cut in after hitting the wall on the left rib, and sent a reverse oblique ball before En Zongzi shoveled.

Lucas appeared behind Arnold and sent a low pass. There was no arc in this pass, but the speed was very fast. Harry Kane in the front point had no time to react, and Bernardo Silva in the back point made a flying shovel A few millimeters of shooting difference.

Klopp paced back and forth on the sidelines with his hands behind his back. A month ago, Sun Wu officially coached Manchester United. Most of the head coaches of other Premier League clubs complained about this, but Klopp never underestimated Sun Wu. The level of tactical command, and a very modern football style adhered to.

Two minutes later, Klopp gestured to the assistant coach.

"Liverpool's frontcourt position has changed." The condescending Mortensen immediately noticed the change, "Gotze moved in, and Kagawa Shinji pulled the side... The Japanese are actually not fast."

The key is not Shinji Kagawa's side pull, but Gotze's adduction. The former has strong breakthrough ability and running ability, but the latter is capable of sending penetrating passes when he adducts.

In the 38th minute, Liverpool counterattacked with a counterattack from the backcourt. Nzongzi barely poked the ball away from Sun Wu's feet. Firmino passed it to Gotze before Kanter, and Shinji Kagawa on the right immediately advanced at high speed.

But Gotze took the ball and turned around to get rid of Fletcher and then walked forward. After attracting the attention of Lucas who was returning to the defense, Gotze poked the ball with his toe.

"Oh, it's Arnold!"

The 17-year-old Arnold passed Lucas, and before Van Dijk could catch up, he sent a wide-arcing half-high cross.

The ball bypassed Van Dijk and bounced over the heads of Shinji Kagawa and Michael Keane. Depay stopped the ball in the chest and shot with his left foot!

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Memphis Depay equalized, Liverpool's counterattack was very sharp!"

"Klopp made the right choice, Depay is no worse than Di Maria!"

Depay tore his chest jersey and rushed to the corner, followed by Firmino and Henderson, Sun Wu scratched his head, this guy really kicked out under Klopp.

But then Sun Wu deliberately glanced at Arnold, not knowing whether this was his own forward move or Klopp's tactical deployment.

Liverpool in the original time and space, the pair of wings of Arnold and Robertson is a very important part of the Red Army's offensive tactics. I don't know how much skill they have now.

"Firmino's role is reflected. Although he often rushes into the penalty area to grab a header like a center forward, he is actually a fake center forward." Zhan Jun commented, "It is his retreat that makes Liverpool's counterattack Accelerating, it was also he who took the ball in the backcourt and successfully connected to Gotze."

"Arnold's cross is awesome, a bit like Beckham." Zhang Lu was not stingy, "Pavard and Arnold were recognized weaknesses by both sides before the game, and they both made great achievements!"

The protagonists of this game are destined to be those newcomers.

Only 3 minutes later, Liverpool reversed the score.

Liverpool's high-position press suppressed Manchester United, and Arnold on the right side pressed frequently, driving Shinji Kagawa inside, with the momentum of dominating one side.

But Nzonzi showed his vision, and a long diagonal pass as far as 40 meters found Depay on the side.

Pawar, who was following him, glanced back at Michael Keane's position and felt a little relieved, there was no big problem.

But at the next moment, faced with this long pass, Depay did not stop the ball, but volleyed back with his left foot to block. The forward left back Robertson received the ball.

Kanter was still defending on the left just now, and it was too late to rush over. Fletcher, who was guarding the middle, looked at Henderson vigilantly. The Red Army rookie captain had scored two world waves last season.

However, Robertson never thought about passing the ball!
He took the ball one step forward, and then shot 30 meters away from the goal!

"Depay... Robertson... shot?"

"Oh, the goal has been scored!" Zhan Jun raised his tone incredulously, "De Gea failed to save it!"

Long-range meritorious deeds often emphasize surprise and surprise. This time Robertson's long-range shot was not at all what De Gea expected.

This shot angle is not tricky, but it is powerful and fast, so although he made a save and even touched the ball, De Gea still failed to stop the ball from entering the net.

Looking at Robertson who was running wildly to celebrate, Mike Phelan on the sidelines was unable to hang his head. Damn Klopp, if it weren't for him, Robertson should belong to Manchester United!
Sun Wu ran to the sidelines and gestured to Rolf from a long distance away, pointing to his right wrist with his left hand.

Rolf glanced at his watch and made an OK gesture... Uh, it means there are 3 minutes left in the first half.

3 minutes, plus about 5 minutes of stoppage time, may equalize the score, but it may also be extended by Liverpool.

Klopp likes to play this game very much. After scoring a goal, he seizes the opponent's mentality of wanting to quickly equalize the score. Either the formation is withdrawn but the murderous intention is hidden, or the high position is forced to attack on the spot, and consecutive goals in a short period of time completely kill the game. Guardio Both Laura and Wenger have suffered. Of course, this has a lot to do with their insistence on their own tactics.

However, Sun Wu is a guy who talks nonsense when he sees people, and talks nonsense when he sees people.

Therefore, when Liverpool's formation recovery tried to lure the snake out of the hole, Klopp saw speechlessly that Sun Wu was also directing Manchester United's formation recovery.

There are rare and rare situations on the court.

It has been more than half an hour of the game, and the positions of the players on both sides are the same as before the whistle was blown.

Forwards such as Firmino, Gotze, Harry Kane, and Griezmann are all near the center circle, and the midfielders and defenders of both sides are standing in their respective halfs...

The referee Marina twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, and without giving a second of stoppage time, he directly blew the whistle to end the first half.
