The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

Sina live broadcast room.

The second half is about to begin. Players from both sides have already entered the stadium. I don't know if there will be any personnel adjustments. Zhan Jun turned to look at Zhang Lu, Director Zhang also said just now that although Manchester United is leading the score, it was defeated by Liverpool The suppression was miserable. Apart from that goal, there was no more on-target shot in the entire first half...

This has a lot to do with Sun Wu's retreat. Without Sun Wu, Manchester United's offense will be difficult to organize. Zhang Lu brought the topic to Sun Wu forcefully and without any strategy. Liverpool's high press in the first half, Sun Wu is the point they value most, so Sun Wu often handles the ball immediately after he gets it, and the success rate is naturally very low.

We have to look at Sun Wu's performance in the second half. His performance largely determines this kind of double red meeting... Zhan Jun was halfway through and said happily: Firmino is waiting on the sidelines. He should be replaced. Take out Sturridge, who did nothing in the first half except for one goal, and Liverpool will be a complete team in the second half!

Mane is also on the sidelines. Zhang Lu said tit for tat, Who will I replace? Lukaku?

It could also be Thomas Muller. Zhan Jun was a little confused. Muller is one of the core players that has emerged at Manchester United in the past two seasons.

It may also be Herrera. Muller played as an attacking midfielder against Arsenal, and Sun Wu retreated to play as a defensive midfielder...

But the sign held up by the fourth official said, Exit No. 13.

Replaced Thomas Muller, this choice... Zhan Jun laughed: Pochettino's decision was very bold. He replaced Manchester United's second shooter last season and this season.

The live broadcast camera immediately found Thomas Muller with his head shrinking on the bench. Erba was happy and could not see anything... For a man who had been on the bench at Bayern for so many years, this was really a big deal. Nothing to humiliate.

Watching Firmino run onto the pitch, Sun Wu wondered in his mind whether this guy was really injured...

After the game started, Sun Wu wanted to find a chance to give it a try, but before he could find a suitable opportunity, Schneiderlin stepped on Firmino when a midfield opponent hit him.

Henderson rushed over and made a sign to the referee. Firmino on the ground covered his right foot and groaned in pain.

Hey, are you really hurt? Sun Wu knelt down and patted his friend's shoulder.

Nonsense! Coutinho glared at Sun Wu, Although Roberto also stayed at Schalke 04, he was not led astray by you!

Sun Wu grinned,

Firmino, who was lying on his back, couldn't help laughing... Coutinho meant this. Just a few days ago, in the El Clasico in La Liga, the two sides were deadlocked 1-1 until stoppage time. At this stage, Rakitic successfully dived in the penalty area to deceive points. In the end, Messi defeated Real Madrid with a penalty kick.

After the game, Madrid mouthpiece Marca claimed that Rakitic was led astray by Sun Wu at Schalke 04... Sun Wu was also drunk after receiving a call from Pique. This was really an innocent arrow in the knee!

Although Firmino has not yet fully recovered, Liverpool's frontcourt offense began to flow smoothly. The fake center kept pulling out of the penalty area, and also ran laterally outside the penalty area, even staying on the wing for several minutes.

Phil Jones and Rojo are both having a hard time. It will definitely not work if they follow up. The gap behind them will be exploited by Gotze, Di Maria and Coutinho. But if they don’t follow up, Firmino will break into the penalty area at any time. , and can also take a long shot from outside the penalty area.

In the 56th minute, Liverpool equalized the score.

Firmino cut in from the right and played diagonally with Gotze and Henderson along the way. Coutinho had already inserted into the penalty area to find the gap behind Rojo, but Firmino made a move outside the penalty area. He made a direct long-range shot, causing Herrera to fall to the ground...

But Firmino took another diagonal step, fell to the ground before Schneiderlin and sent a diagonal pass. Di Maria picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

Di Maria is here again! Zhang Lu muttered nervously, Be careful of his flopping...

Zhan Jun coughed twice.

But this time Di Maria was not prepared to dive. After stepping forward with his left foot to accelerate the ball, his noodle-like body kept twisting... This dazzled Valencia.

Then Di Maria accelerated towards the baseline, and when Valencia stretched out his legs to intercept the cross, he sent an inverted triangle return pass!

Di Maria... pass back... oh, Coutinho!

Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!

Liverpool equalized the score, and Coutinho's first low shot hit De Gea's wicket!

Coutinho jumped excitedly onto Di Maria. The noodles couldn't bear it. The two fell together in Manchester United's small penalty area. Liverpool players came one after another...

There were thunderous cheers in the KOP stands, and Klopp celebrated wildly on the sidelines. If the celebration hadn't been on the court, this guy would have definitely jumped on him...

Sun Wu touched his chin and looked at Firmino. Although Di Maria's pass through the ball was very beautiful and Coutinho's big and small shots were wonderful, the key was Firmino. The combination of this fake center made Liverpool's The offense became sharper.

Manchester United missed someone. Zhang Lu shook his head and said: That should be Schneiderlin's defense zone... Look at the replay, he followed Coutinho.

But after Coutinho inserted into the small penalty area, he circled and quickly appeared near the line of the large penalty area. Schneiderlin was still in the small penalty area... He was preparing to block Di Maria's cross in the middle. Jun also shook his head, Schneiderlin's sense of position is a problem.

It is difficult to judge where a good defensive midfielder should appear. If Di Maria chooses to cross instead of an inverted triangle, then Schneiderlin can appear in the correct position.

But the problem is that a good defensive midfielder can capture the dangerous atmosphere. Schneiderlin's advantages lie in coverage, in grabbing, and in physical fitness, but he is not excellent in prediction.

Schneiderlin's loss of position allowed Coutinho to shoot without any pressure from the line of the penalty area, leaving nothing around him.

The camera that was replaying Firmino's cooperation after cutting inside suddenly turned around, and the live broadcaster immediately captured Pochettino whispering something to Sun Wu on the sidelines.

Manchester United is going to make adjustments. Mortensen said curiously: I don't know what adjustments it will be... Haha, I don't know who made the adjustments!

At this time, the camera gave Mane another close-up, as if to indicate that this would be Manchester United's key man.

After the game restarted, Klopp turned his head and glanced at Pochettino. He was sure that it was the Argentinian who made the adjustment, not Best... because it was too risky.

Klopp once studied Sun Wu. Regardless of whether he is a coach or a player, no matter where he plays on the field, Sun Wu will rarely take such risks unless it is a life-and-death struggle or a desperate situation.

Pochettino's choice is too risky.

In the 60th minute, Valencia intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball long immediately. Lukaku barely controlled the ball in a hand-to-hand battle with Lovren.

At this time, the fans in the stands were surprised to see that Manchester United's formation was rapidly moving forward.

Not only Schneiderlin, Sun Wu and Herrera in the midfield, but also Valencia and Ashley Young on the wings, even Rojo and Phil Mino are also moving forward.

Pochettino chose to press high in the draw.

High press versus high press.
