Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 437 Man Utd Who Knows Their Shame and Comes Courageous
On April 4th, the 27th round of the 2018/19 Premier League kicked off. Liverpool faced Huddersfield at Anfield Stadium. This is the first game of this round of the league.

Huddersfield has won all of Liverpool's last 6 games. Liverpool has won 13 wins and drawn 10 against Huddersfield nearly 3 times and remained unbeaten.

Huddersfield have been unable to score against the Red Army nearly 8 times. The last time they scored was in the Second Division in 1962, and the last time they won away against Liverpool was in 1956.

The Red Army soldiers who had rested for a whole week were full of energy, and Klopp did not dare to neglect, and sent all the main lineup for this campaign.

The front line is full of tridents, Zhang Mai leads the midfield, Keita and Henderson assist, the back line is two flying wings and the Anglo-Dutch iron gate, and Lovren is back, and enters the bench with Chamberlain.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool made a stunning start, scoring a goal in the opening 15 seconds:

Rossell passed the ball, Stankovic made a wrong pass, Salah passed the ball, and Keita shot a low shot from 12 yards from the right rib of the penalty area to the inside of the left post and entered the net.

From then on, another massacre of the Red Army at home began. In the end, Liverpool beat Huddersfield 5-0 at home. Keita scored in 15 seconds, Salah 1 pass and 2 shots, Mane scored twice and hit the post.Liverpool lead with 9 points after 4 consecutive victories.

In addition to a big home victory, Liverpool's biggest gain in this game is that left-back Robertson got his name in the first battle-he is the best left winger in the Premier League!

Liverpool opened the championship sprint with a 5-0 rout. In this game, Keita blitz set the tone. Mane and Salah both scored twice and made great achievements. The best player in the game is the unknown left back-Robertson.

In this game, after Keita completed the blitz, Liverpool was unable to score for a period of time, and failed to let the game lose suspense early.

But at the critical moment, the first one to stand up is not the famous superstars such as Zhengming, Salah, Mane, Van Dijk, but Robertson, the "listen boy".

In the 23rd minute, Robertson received the ball from the left. After receiving the ball, he did not rush to deal with it immediately. Instead, he observed his teammates' running positions and waited until Mane, who was in the offside position, retreated before making a pass. Fast and accurate, bypassing the defensive player in front of Hazhen, directly smashing in front of Mane, who easily headed the ball into the goal!
Robertson's offensive performance did not end here. He frequently attacked the opponent's defense and turned the left side upside down.

In the 83rd minute, he observed the loopholes in the opponent's defense, cleverly realized the anti-offside, and then passed a low pass to Salah. This series of operations was perfect.

Robertson performed very well in this game, passing 76 times, 1 successful pass, 1 steal, 3 blocks, and completed the most 23 sprints in the game.

These data plus the performance of 2 assists allowed him to get the highest score of 8.9 points in "WhoScored".

在完成2次助攻后，罗伯逊本赛季的助攻数已经达到了11次，超越了斯特林（10次）、萨内（10次）、博格巴（9次）等名将，直追英超助攻榜前两名埃里克森（12次）、阿扎尔（13次）两大天王。

In addition, with 11 assists, Robertson also became one of the holders of the assist record for a Premier League defender in a single season. Before him, only Heathcliff in the 1994-95 season and Baines in the 2010-11 season had done it.

And Robertson still has two Premier League games to play, and he has a great chance to break the record and enjoy the glory alone.

After this battle, Robertson has changed from that "bargain bought for 800 million pounds" to the hottest left-back in the Premier League and even in football. He has benefited a lot.

You know, Gua Shuai, who is as strong as Manchester City, is also worrying about the left back:
Mendy, who was worth £5200 million, suffered from constant injuries, and the number of appearances could not be guaranteed; Danilo, who was signed for £3000 million, was unable to perform well after several cameo appearances; the young player Zinchenko was quite satisfactory and contributed to the team and limited support; and Delph, who had performed brilliantly before, is now becoming flat...

It can be said that the effect of Robertson bought by Liverpool for 800 million is something that Manchester City Guardiola failed to achieve after spending 8000 million.

The low-key and pragmatic Robertson is undoubtedly a great asset for Liverpool. This young defender who has just turned 25 years old has both the calmness of a veteran and the spirit of a new star. He will also be an important cornerstone for Liverpool's future championship and rise.

Liverpool also had a major loss in this game. Zhang Mai was injured in the second half of the midfield due to a foot injury. He is likely to miss the first round of the Champions League and Barcelona.

Since it is the first game of this round of the league, after the big victory, Liverpool can sit on the tea table and wait for Manchester United to block Manchester City at home.

……

On April 4th, in the 28th round of the Premier League, a derby and giants in the same city played against each other at Old Trafford. Manchester United played against Manchester City at home.

The grievances between the veteran giants Manchester United and the Premier League upstart Manchester City have a long history, and it is not clear for a while. Anyway, as long as the two teams meet, it will definitely be a tragic fight like sparks hitting the earth.

Guardiola, who was defeated in the Champions League, is full of confidence. He only uses Sane to rotate Fernandinho to start, and the rest are still the main players in the last round of the league.

And Manchester United Solskjaer is more determined, and has made major adjustments to the lineup of the last round of disastrous defeats. Lukaku, Mata, Matic, Herrera and Bailly and other usual bosses are all in rotation. play.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United's semi-new lineup was still adapting, and Manchester City, who was a guest, launched a siege posture.

In the 7th minute, Bernardo's shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Manchester United players.

In the 18th minute, Manchester United got a chance to counterattack. Mata passed a free kick into the penalty area, and Lukaku shot wide from the left side of the penalty area.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City defender Walker slipped and fell, Luke Shaw made a direct pass, Rashford stopped the ball slightly and missed a single shot, Edson attacked in time and confiscated the ball first.

After that, Aguero and Sterling passed the ball continuously. Bernardo's low shot from 10 yards from the right rib of the penalty area was confiscated by De Gea.

In the 44th minute, Zinchenko passed the ball, and Aguero's 25-yard arc shot missed the upper right corner.

Manchester City had an advantage in the first half but did not have a good chance to score. In the end, they had to shake hands with the slightly chaotic Manchester United 0-0.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City still had an absolute advantage on the field, and the home team Manchester United was still in full defense.

In the 47th minute, Sterling passed the ball, and Aguero shot from the right side of the penalty area to the upper corner and was saved by De Gea.

Two minutes later, Silva hit Ashley Young with a peripheral shot, but the referee did not give a penalty.

In the 52nd minute, Zinchenko made a pass from the left, and Laporte's header was confiscated by De Gea.

In the 57th minute, Silva and Sterling's shots were blocked again, and Bernardo's shot in front of the small penalty area was saved by De Gea.

Shortly afterwards, Sterling passed the ball, and Aguero's low shot from the arc in the penalty area missed again.

After nearly 20 minutes of hammering, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute:

Bernardo made a diagonal pass, Aguero's shot in front of the small penalty area was blocked and then shot was blocked by De Gea inside the goal line, and then the Hawkeye system prompted the goal.

1-0！阿圭罗连续5个赛季打入至少20粒联赛入球，曼城高踞7成的攻势也有了结果。

But Guardiola immediately began his mysterious substitutions. In the 67th minute, Jesus replaced Sane, who was underperforming, but the Brazilian short striker's subsequent performance was not much better than Sane.

In the 74th minute, Manchester United got a chance to counterattack, Pogba passed the ball, and Lukaku's shot from the right side of the penalty area hit Ederson's leg and refracted into the net.

1-1!Manchester United scored with the second shot of the game, and Lu Yuanwai also scored his 800th goal in 11 minutes this season.

Blue Moon, whose score was equalized, was extremely unwilling, and all the players fought desperately without yelling.

In the 79th minute, Walker passed the ball and Aguero's shot from close range was blocked.

Two minutes later, it was another diagonal pass from Walker. Jesus cut in from the left side of the penalty area and passed the goalkeeper before shooting, but Lindelof blocked the ball in front of the goal line.

In the 88th minute, Zinchenko made a pass, and Aguero's shot from the right side of the penalty area missed the near corner.

Manchester City's indiscriminate bombing in the final moments was resisted one by one by the united Red Devils players, and in the end they failed to break through the gate of Manchester United.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Manchester United in the away game. Blue Moon besieged the audience. The Hawkeye system judged that Aguero had scored, and Lu Yuanwai fought hard to tie.

Manchester City suffered a draw after 11 consecutive victories, three points behind Liverpool, and the balance of winning the championship has gradually tilted towards Liverpool, while Manchester United ended their losing streak but were still three points away from the top four.

Manchester United, who lost to Everton in the last round, drew with their fierce rivals Manchester City in this game, and the confidence of the Red Devils soldiers has returned.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea has been in poor form recently and made frequent mistakes. However, in this round of Manchester United's match against Blue Moon, De Gea made many high and low blocks, making great contributions to the final draw.

Manchester United general Mata gave his teammates support after the game. He believes that De Gea has returned to his peak.

"De Gea's quality is unquestionable, he's been fantastic at this club. He's been United's best player over the last few years and the amount of points he's saved us is unimaginable. We all have good moments and bad moments in our careers, but for me it's about your reaction, being positive about it and giving your best performance. "

"I have 100 per cent confidence in him, we all. Today he denied at least three must-goals for Manchester City, as always, his level is beyond doubt."

"He knows what his team-mates need and all I can do is give him my honest thoughts about the situation. He's definitely disappointed with the goal but I believe he's one of the best players in the world , there is no doubt about it, he is a tough guy and he will save a lot of goals in the next game. He is the best player for us, me, our team and the coach He's full of confidence."

When talking about the situation of the fourth, Mata replied:

"It's difficult and it's not up to us anymore. We need to try to win the last two games and see what happens. We needed to get the three points today, but against Manchester City, they are a very good team .It was a bit of a disappointment, but we need to move on and finish the season to the best of our abilities."

Although Manchester United's bloody outbreak was a bit late, it was obvious that Mata was not the only one in the team who was inspired to fight.

Manchester United's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four this season have faded after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

After the game, when asked if the team was disappointed with the result, Luke Shaw answered:

"Of course, and we're still sad, but we drew against a strong Manchester City today, and we took one chance, even though we were at a disadvantage all over the place. It finally changed today."

"The first half was better, and in the second half we almost all defended, but we still had a little bit of luck to bring us a goal. With our ability, maybe we should work harder."

Talking about the current situation of competing for the fourth place, Luke Shaw said:
"We're all sad but you've seen the situation and anything can happen. We've got two games to play but it's clearly in other teams' hands to get to the top four. Win the last two games and see what happens."

The away game was tied by Manchester United. Manchester City is currently 3 points behind Liverpool. With two rounds left in the league, Manchester City's hope of winning the championship has become slim.

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola was clearly not in a good mood after the game, but he still praised the team's performance in controlling the game:
"We actually deserved a win, created a lot of chances. What made me so happy was the way we controlled them in the game. If you foul a lot here, give a lot of corners, then we can't Get out of the way. We came to the most famous home in the Premier League and we didn't concede a single corner."

Gua Shuai said that it is not easy to face Manchester United because their defense is very solid, and most of the time there are 10 players defending in the penalty area.

"In the second half we had a faster tempo and created 3-5 chances. It's normal that we didn't create too many chances, but I was surprised by how well we wasted chances in the second half, especially with Jesus' goal."

Speaking of Aguero's goal, Guardiola said:
"Without goal-line technology, that ball might not have been given. There was a penalty that was not given, but that's why I like (technically assisted)."

Guashuai also talked about Manchester City's performance in the past two seasons:
"What we've done over the last two seasons, nobody has given us anything, we've worked hard for ourselves, which is good. We're over 20 points ahead of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, which is unbelievable. I Didn't expect that, not at the beginning of the season, especially not in the winter break. We won 11 games in a row, it's unbelievable."

"In the past two seasons, we have scored 190 points. Maybe a team may score 100 points in a single season again, but No.2 scored 92, 95, 98 points, this will not happen. Now there are two need to calm down again. We will rest and recover a little bit, then face Leicester City, one of the most talented teams at the moment, and we will try to take another three points to Brighton, to get The wins we need, let's sit back and enjoy the opponent's game."

The Manchester derby ended in a draw, and Liverpool was happier than the Manchester United people. The three-point lead gave the Red Army more confidence in the last two rounds of the league.

There are gains and losses. Liverpool's league is stable, but Zhang Mai's absence due to injury makes the Red Army's upcoming trip to the Nou Camp more dangerous.
