Chapter 928 The Double Red Meeting ([-])
Atkinson is also a controversial referee. He has made controversial judgments many times, and his frequency of playing cards among referees in the Premier League is relatively high. It is not known who is the good news for such a fiercely focused game today. .

The pre-match ceremony was soon over, and the match between the two sides officially started!
You can quickly see the midfield position of the Manchester United team. Among the 5 midfielders, Rooney is one of the midfielders, and Mata is in the midfielder position. This is a very strange arrangement, but Van Gaal did it. Most people don't understand his world.

But basically, it also allows everyone to find out a little way. Why did Rooney play in the midfield? After all, this pot has something to do with Ferguson. Rooney was originally a striker, and Rooney played under Ferguson many times. Front midfielder, midfield position.

Is Rooney a good player? The answer is yes. He is indeed a good player. He is very good at passing and shooting. Playing that kind of controlled football is not as direct as other teams in terms of offense. Manchester United has a lot of personnel, and the midfield is also a bunch of rough guys. He needs a midfielder with someone who can help sort out. He thinks Rooney is suitable for this. work.

He also has not only Rooney, but also Mata and Di Maria, but these two people are disadvantaged in terms of physical confrontation, and Mata and Di Maria are still better than Rooney in the ability to make a deadly pass. Some.

Based on such a comprehensive calculation, Rooney has become a member of the Manchester United midfielder in Van Gaal's world. He used to hide behind or beside the striker as a cannonball carrier when he was in Ferguson, but now he can only be under Van Gaal. Play the position of midfield organization.

Of course, his scoring this season has also dropped a lot.

Van Gaal's idea is good, but it is really difficult for Manchester United. Today's game started with a fierce competition in the midfield. Liverpool's midfield is a three-man team. at a disadvantage.

Manchester United's two wings, Valencia and Ashley Young, are slightly higher, and Liverpool immediately seized this opportunity to play a long pass to the two wings.

In contrast, Liverpool's attack method is more direct, and Liverpool also did a little boldly in terms of pressing the midfielder today.

In the 3rd minute, Joe Allen made a direct pass to the right, and Sterling got the ball. With a light change of direction and speed, he easily got rid of May Jones, and then made a cross from the side. Carrick's double-teaming came to the fore, and he directly faced the ball with a blast shot. The strength is not small, and the angle is still okay, but with the help of God, De Gea flew to change the direction of the ball with his hands, and the ball reflected the baseline!

All the fans in the audience let out an exclamation, and then the Manchester United fans gave De Gea a huge applause. De Gea got up from the ground and directed his teammates to take corner kicks like a normal person. He was too lazy to say anything.

"The frontcourt is picturesque, and the backcourt is De Gea! Liverpool's first shot almost brought a threat to Manchester United. Fortunately, there is De Gea, who successfully blocked Zhang Yuan's must-goal! Zhang Yuan looks very annoyed! Today he has to play [-] points. Manchester United's goalkeeper is the goalkeeper with the highest saving rate in the Premier League so far this season. He has proved his ability in many games! Zhang Yuan It's not easy to break through his door!" Zhou Qiang quoted the jingle of Chinese fans' portrayal of Manchester United's current situation.

This jingle is very appropriate. Once Manchester United's frontcourt attack has an advantage, they pass the ball continuously, as if they want to pass the ball directly into the opponent's net. The possession rate is relatively high, but they still rely on General Fan!

As for the backcourt, it is really full of loopholes. From time to time, they are counterattacked by underdogs, and the defense line marks people and so on. They make frequent mistakes, relying on De Gea's rescue in front of the goal. Of course, their defense line is no longer Vidic. The steel line of defense partnered with Ferdinand is not very good in itself.

Van Gaal put Carrick in the position of the back guard because of Carrick's relatively strong ability to play the ball and accurate long passes. Although Carrick's true position is the midfielder, he and Fellaini have a Weakness, against that is not a problem, but the speed is too slow.

Just now, the two double-teamers failed to keep up with Zhang Yuan. Not only the tacit understanding in filling the position was not enough, it also had a lot to do with their own slow speed.

Zhang Yuan was really annoyed. He thought the goal was a must. He didn't expect De Gea's reaction to be so fast and his judgment was very accurate. Looking at De Gea, Zhang Yuan had to say in his heart that you are awesome!

The corner kick defense made Manchester United feel like a formidable enemy, and the penalty area continued to be pulled, but the quality of Coutinho's corner kick was not very high, and Liverpool's offensive was completed in this way.

Van Gaal's Manchester United have relatively good use of long and short passes, but at the time of the goal kick, today they wanted to slowly advance through possession of the ball. The three forwards of the team pressed very high. Zhang Yuan signaled Coutinho and Sterling to press on both sides to prevent them from receiving the ball in the backcourt. De Gea had no choice but to drive forward with a big foot. .

The game went on alternately like this. When Manchester United had the ball, Liverpool fought very fiercely in the midfield. Manchester United was not very comfortable with this situation. In the 4th minute, Rooney got the ball and crossed it to Fellaini. , Fellaini made a mistake in stopping the ball, Joe Allen stepped forward and broke Fellaini's ball, and took advantage of the situation to dribble forward. Fellaini had no choice but to kick the ball from behind!
Joe Allen was shoveled to the ground, and Atkinson was really strict. Not long after the start, he ran to Fellaini and directly showed Fellaini a yellow card.

Fellaini followed his mentor Moyes to the Theater of Dreams last season. As a result, Moyes was evaluated as a parallel import coach, and Fellaini, a direct descendant, was also evaluated by the "Daily Telegraph" as the Premier League transfer coach last season after the end of the season. The largest parallel importer among the fairs.

However, despite his vicious appearance, he listens to the head coach very much and trains very seriously. After Van Gaal arrived, he quickly took a fancy to him. He is still reused under Van Gaal. Much better.

He is a key piece in Manchester United's defense. It is not such a beautiful thing to get a yellow card so early. Van Gaal also frowned on the sidelines. Too harsh!

Atkinson just wants to show his prestige. He doesn't want the players to make the sidelines so hot at the beginning, because he will be more difficult to control in the end. Why not give everyone a warning now, Fellaini is just The chicken that made an example to others.

Since then, the competition between the two sides is still very fierce, but Atkinson's cards are not so frequent. After all, the intensity is still within the expected range. Manchester United's possession of the ball is not so effective. Liverpool's fighting is very active , making them make more mistakes, especially the long passes from the two wings.

Van Gaal's focus on 352 is to make full use of the width of the pitch. The two wing backs are relatively sideways. This is his attacking philosophy. However, Liverpool has a relatively large restriction on Manchester United's midfield. There were many mistakes in both long and short passes.

They don't have much advantage in ball possession rate, and the number of shots is relatively small. On the contrary, Liverpool's side seizes the opportunity and sends the ball directly forward. The style of play is more direct, and there is not much in the middle. Liverpool has got some good points. However, Zhang Yuan and the others failed to seize the opportunity, and De Gea also made several clearances.

No. In 201 minutes, Liverpool made another frontcourt attack. Sterling's shot was easily caught by De Gea. He then threw the ball and launched a counterattack. Valencia dribbled the ball and passed by Moreno on the right. The follow-up was very fast. Van Persie and Wilson shared the attention of Skrtel and Lovren. He followed behind, pushed the ball, and the ball flew into the lower right corner. Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool at home. .

Needless to say, the quality of this counterattack is very high. They have seized the loopholes in Liverpool's formation that did not fill up in time. It can be said that they have really caught Liverpool's seven inches!
