Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 255 Against Manchester United
After the referee blew the whistle, the first half of the game began. Both sides appeared cautious after the opening, and mostly tried to entangle near the midfield.

In the 7th minute, Martial got a corner kick from the bottom of the left, and Damian volleyed wide from the outside in the corner kick melee.

In the 11th minute, Salah broke through and passed the ball. Lallana passed Damian and shot a curve ball from 20 yards, which was confiscated by De Gea.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, Liverpool, who were playing at home, gradually controlled the game and gained a certain advantage on the field.

In the 17th minute, Zhang Mai split the side in the middle. Salah fell on the edge of the penalty area when he broke through Damian. The referee did not say anything.

Unwilling, the Egyptian striker approached the referee to argue, and almost got a yellow card. The replay showed that the Egyptian winger was suspected of diving.

"Okay! Muhammad, today is the day for England players to perform. What are you trying to do?"

Zhang Mai hurried over to pull Salah away from the referee.

The game continued, and Liverpool firmly controlled the midfield advantage under Zhang Mai's combing.

In the 22nd minute, it was Liverpool's attack again. Zhang Mai made a straight pass. Salah deflected a pass from the right.

Sturridge, who wanted to perform in front of Southgate, regretted it, and the kind Egyptian stepped forward to comfort him.

"Even if England doesn't have Vardy and Kane, it's not your turn to go to Russia!"

Zhang Mai couldn't help complaining about his English teammate with a "bigger heart and stinkier feet than shit".

Then Manchester United also got a better shot opportunity. Ashley Young crossed from the right and was cleared by Van Dijk with a header...

Mkhitaryan, who broke into the Liverpool penalty area, stopped the ball and turned to the left. Matic volleyed slightly higher than the upper left corner in the first half of the penalty area.

Liverpool almost scored in the 34th minute. Zhang Mai went down the left. The ball was touched by the Manchester United defender. Liverpool's corner kick.

Zhang Mai took a corner kick, Robertson made a direct pass from the outside in the corner kick melee, Chamberlain made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and the unguarded Maguire pushed in front of the small penalty area and was blocked by De Gea with his left foot, followed by Sturridge A follow-up shot from 12 yards missed the left post.

Sturridge was about to cry this time, and Salah, who was annoyed by his teammate's messy feet, didn't bother to go to BB anymore.

In the 41st minute, Zhang Mai and Chamberlain made a wonderful behind-the-back pass cooperation in the middle. Chamberlain dribbled the ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area. Ricky intercepted first and then shot, the ball went straight to the sky.

Sturridge's reckless attack not only made the uncle on the sidelines shake his head again and again, but Southgate in the stands also showed an unclear smile.

Before half-time, Sturridge, who sticks to the ball, lost the ball in the midfield. After Lukaku kicked the wall with Martial, he shot a strong shot from the edge of the penalty area. The shot with excellent angle and strength was saved by Pickford out.

Klopp raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines, and Southgate in the stands finally smiled knowingly.

The footage captured by the camera was instantly presented in front of many England fans. If Zhang Mai saw it, he would definitely say:
Pickford is not bad, it seems to be interesting!
After the intermission, the two teams changed sides to fight again, and Southgate remained firmly in the stands.

Liverpool still took the initiative as in the first half, and gradually continued to put pressure on the visiting team,
In the first 10 minutes, Liverpool had several good offensive opportunities, but they were squandered by the impetuous Sturridge. blockage.

Liverpool missed another chance in the 57th minute. Arnold made a diagonal pass from the right, and the unguarded Sturridge volleyed wide from the edge of the penalty area.

Now even Klopp on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore, and Southgate in the stands directly announced the death penalty of the Red Army's "wave shooting king" in his heart.

Zhang Mai and his teammates on the field knew that it was impossible for the kind-hearted Uncle Zha to replace Sturridge at this time, he could only avoid the "King of Waves" in the Red Army's attack.

In the 62nd minute, Zhang Mai broke into the edge of the penalty area and fell under the defense of Herrera, but the referee did not give a penalty and the ball was cleared by the Manchester United defender.

The game was still a draw, and Mourinho on the sidelines should have known about Southgate's presence at the scene in person and began to adjust Manchester United's lineup.

In the 65th minute, Manchester United's Lingard and Rashford replaced Mkhitaryan and Martial.

In the 71st minute, Zhang Mai picked a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Chamberlain made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, but Sturridge overshot in the small penalty area and missed the opportunity to head the ball to the top.

Zhang Mai couldn't help but glared at Chamberlain angrily. Chamberlain, who wanted to help his compatriots, lowered his head guiltily, and trotted back to the defensive midfield.

The game continued, possibly infected by Sturridge's toe, and Salah's subsequent two outside shots missed the goal.

Solanke and Joe Gomez replaced Zhang Mai and Salah, and the Red Army on the field almost became pure English players.

After Klopp hugged Salah, who was off the field, he came over and wanted to explain to Zhang Mai...

"No need! Head, I know the reason for today."

Zhang Mai pointed to the direction where Southgate was sitting on the stand, fearing that Uncle Zha would give him a hug too.

"hey-hey!"

As soon as Klopp gave you an expression of understanding, he continued to pay attention to the game on the field.

In the 78th minute, Joe Gomez forced a diagonal pass from the left side of the penalty area. Unfortunately, there was no teammate to respond. Forward Solanke, who had just played together, was still entangled with the Manchester United defender.

This time, Southgate in the stands shook his head directly, as if he was sighing the immaturity of Joe Gomez and Solanke.

After 4 minutes of stoppage time, Mourinho made another substitution in the 93rd minute, this time Lindelof replaced Ashley Young.

Soon after the game ended, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

Klopp and Mourinho, two tacit old foxes, shook hands and said goodbye after the game. The scene was extremely harmonious and touching.

I don't know why Mourinho went crazy. After saying goodbye to Uncle Zha, Wooden Bird went to the Liverpool fans to start the stage.

"Mourinho shakes hands with Liverpool fans!" This scene was recorded by many cameras, which seems to indicate that Wood Bird's "madman" temperament is gradually peeling off.

Liverpool drew 0-0 with Manchester United at home. Although the Red Devils were passive, but with De Gea's many saves and the Red Army's many wasted opportunities, the draw is normal.

Manchester United and Liverpool continued to share the same points, and later the results came from other games. The No.2 Manchester City, which has been behind by 3 points, will be able to jump to the top of the list if they win this round. City drew 2-2 and continued to rank third, while Manchester United still occupies the top spot with a goal difference advantage.

Manchester City's home draw is not outrageous. What is outrageous is that the winger Sane, who represented Manchester City's starting lineup, was cut off early by Stoke City players at his home court.

I heard that the scene was extremely bloody. Three different players from Stoke City kicked their feet one by one.

Surprisingly, Stoke City only paid the price of three yellow cards to keep Sane in bed for the first half of the year.

Mahrez, who replaced Sane, was also uncomfortable. The whole game was taken care of by Stoke City players. It is said that he limped to finish the game.

With these two precedents still in place, other Manchester City players couldn't get up enough energy to show coach Guardiola's "pass and control football", and the final draw was normal.

There is something strange about this game. The home fans were not angry when Sane broke his leg, and the home fans were not angry when Mahrez was kicked. Instead, it was the referee who gave Stoke City 7 yellow cards that made Manchester City fans angry. The boos of the audience were accusing the referee of playing too many cards.

The strangest thing is that Guabal, who has always been aloof and protective, had a calm expression after the game. He didn't mention the injury of his favorite general or the bias of the referee, but kept admitting that he was not prepared enough.

Among the many media comments after the game, some experts who are proficient in the situation of the Premier League bluntly said:

Zhang Mai helped the Premier League save face before the "American boxing champion", but the instigator Candice's arrogance is still there. It is not surprising that Sane, who is closely related, is hostile. Mahrez is even more affected by the aftermath, but it is a pity that Manchester City followed Take the blame.
