Chapter 975
The name Nzonzi was originally unremarkable. Two years ago, he became famous because of Manchester United's lack of midfielders. After that, he became the key observation target of many teams.

He is tall, active in running, excellent in position selection, not too slow in pursuit, and has a certain organizational ability. Therefore, Nzonzi was brought to Anfield by Klopp. He did not live up to the trust of Uncle Zha. He can't compare to Gerrard in offense, but he has built a solid firewall for Liverpool with his diligent running.

Klopp knows how important Nzonzi is to Liverpool. He has asked Emre Can and Delph to warm up, and even asked the assistant coach to fill out the substitution application.

But unfortunately, Klopp was a bit slow.

Only 2 minutes after the game restarted, Manchester United organized a successful offensive. Although Emre Can was already standing on the sidelines, Sun Wu's running in the midfield never let the ball go out of bounds.

In the 80th minute, Sun Wu sent the ball to the left through a series of passes. Lucas and Griezmann hit the wall and moved forward together, but Piszczek kept a close eye on it, and Lucas had no choice but to dunk The ball is crossed.

At this moment, Sun Wu suddenly went forward to get the ball, he didn't stop the ball, but walked the ball away!

This is a forced breakthrough!

Henderson, who had a yellow card on his body, helplessly raised his hands during physical contact to indicate that he had no additional action.

And Coutinho, who should temporarily withdraw to the midfielder to help defend, is missing, which is clearly seen by Sun Wu, who has the "God's perspective".

After breaking through Liverpool's only midfielder Henderson, Sun Wu picked up the ball and accelerated forward. The boos from the stands could not disturb him at all.

"Sun Wu...forcibly broke through...passed!"

"Go ahead... long shot... dunk Lovren!"

The boos in the stands became louder, and Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu became more excited, but Sun Wu remained calm.

Because Lovren's reckless grab failed, Liverpool's defense fell into chaos. Matip, Piszczek and Robertson, who were inward, were all retreating.

But Sun Wu took a step to the right, and then swung his right foot. Robertson rushed up helplessly and tried to block it with his body... In fact, the left back guessed that the opponent was probably a fake move.

Indeed, Sun Wu landed with his right foot, aimed at the ball with the inside of his foot and launched a slanting ball, Coleman waded into the penalty area at high speed, and Shinji Kagawa behind him was still closely following.

If it was Paval, he might switch to other more secure methods, but Coleman would not. He directly accelerated the ball into the penalty area, and then fell to the ground and swept the pass in the middle.

"Coleman cross!"

"Falcao...Griezmann...Matip's clearance...ohhh, mistake!"

"Lucas made another cross... this time it went in!"

"Falcao scored the go-ahead goal for Manchester United!"

Zhang Lu shouted: "Falcao's goal may be the least difficult goal in his career, but it may also be the most critical league goal for Manchester United in the entire season!"

In the face of Coleman's sweep pass, Falcao and Griezmann missed the spot one after another, Matip made a clearance and kicked, and Lucas took the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

Lucas has a calmness that is different from other 18-year-olds. After he made a direct volley, he took a step to the bottom line. This step made Pischek and Matip who rushed forward at the same time miss , And let the small restricted area become empty.

Then Lucas sent a cross with a flick of his ankle.

The ball rolled past Joe Hart, and although Lovren had returned to the penalty area and held off Griezmann, Falcao from the back point easily pushed into the empty goal.

Last season, Falcao suffered the worst injury of his career against Liverpool, for which he became a laughingstock and missed the World Cup in Brazil.

Being able to complete his revenge at Anfield, Falcao couldn't contain his excitement. He rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate!
Behind him, Manchester United players followed, and a little further away, Liverpool players stood there numbly and motionless.

The booing in the stands was still there, Mike Phelan and Rolf on the sidelines rushed all the way to celebrate, and Klopp angrily smashed the tactical board on the ground, and kicked it away in anger!
Klopp felt quite wronged. He did not make a mistake. It was a problem with the execution of the players on the field.

Guardiola, who was far away in Manchester, couldn't help laughing. Of course he could see that Coutinho didn't return to the center to help defend, but habitually appeared on the left flank. Best obviously saw It was at this point that it was a sudden forced drive past Henderson that led to the goal.

It is by no means a coincidence that Emre Can stood on the sidelines for several minutes without a chance to play the dead ball, while Sun Wu has been passing the ball from the back, Liverpool's defense is not under much pressure, which is also the result of Coutinho's positioning error a reason.

Guardiola sighed. This kind of mistake is really not a big one. It is difficult for the opponent to take advantage of it under normal circumstances, but Best can do it. This has a lot to do with his identity as the head coach.

To be honest, this is really a BUG. Guardiola remembered what Tottenham coach Van Gaal said last season... Players also serve as coaches. The FA and even FIFA should issue a series of relevant regulations.

But no matter how it is stipulated, Sun Wu appears on the court as the head coach, which makes him adjust the formation more quickly. Once the opponent makes a slight mistake, he can reach out to catch it by himself instead of commanding...

In the 83rd minute, Liverpool finally completed the substitution. Klopp replaced Piszczek with Emre Can, then replaced Henderson with Lallana, and started a full-scale counterattack.

At the same time, Sun Wu finally made a substitution.

"Manchester United also made a substitution." Mortensen looked at the sidelines in amazement, "Herrera replaced Phil Jones, and Salah replaced Falcao."

Gerrard guessed, "Lucas went back to play left centre-back, who is the left wing? Herrera?"

"Probably not, Luke Shaw is also on the bench." Mortensen looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Oh, Best changed his formation and resumed a four-back formation."

Alderweireld and Van Dijk are in the middle, the two full backs are Lucas and Coleman, the midfielders are Kanter, Herrera and Sun Wu, Griezmann moves flexibly, and Salah tops at the forefront.

When defending, the number is very important, but not the most important. The distance between each other and the position are more important. The four-back system is actually stronger than the three-back system in defense. The advantage of the latter is mainly in the midfield.

After Manchester United changed, Liverpool could hardly find any way to threaten De Gea. Phil Mino, Shinji Kagawa, and Gotze were completely unable to take advantage of Alderweireld and Van Dijk. Herrera played outside the penalty area, while Sun Wu paid special attention to Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow and blocked shots with his body twice in a row.

At the last moment, Klopp had nothing to do, letting Lovren, Matip and Emre Can all press into the penalty area.

Klopp glanced at Salah, Falcao went off and replaced with a fast winger, and he was still standing in the middle... This guy Best wants to beat the dog in the water!
