The Greatest Performer on the Football Field - Chapter 1037
Watching the Manchester United players quickly return to the halftime to wait for the kick-off, Klopp’s face stretched very long and long, but he was not desperate, this game has not yet time to admit defeat.
Klopp did not despair, but McFerlan was completely desperate. He understood that Sun Wu was determined to break Liverpool today. Perhaps this is related to the racist slogan raised by Liverpool fans before the game.
In the next seven or eight minutes, Liverpool tried to go out, and Manchester United naturally gave up the high position and forced to recover.
Liverpool feels that today Sun Wu and Kanter partnered with double backs, Manchester United’s midfield defense must be flawed, but how can Sun Wu himself not know this?
Sun Wu’s strategy is to use the advantage of numbers to make up for the lack of defensive quality. Both Griezmann and Falcao retreated to the midfielder position to assist the defense, which means that the two completely gave up the offense.
In three minutes, Griezmann, Falcao and Kanter broke three consecutive goals in the middle. Liverpool’s midfield organization was a mess. Henderson and Nzonzi did not say it. Coutinho was not the kind. A very organized and talented player, Goetze eventually forced to receive the ball to help the organization.
In the 36th minute, Getzene collided with Coutinho to hit the wall and then slid into the right. Piszick put in a low-level pass at high speed. Firmino struggled to grab a leg before Van Dijk. , But this shot was too high and it was Liverpool’s first shot in the game.
Seeing Liverpool’s midfield organization gradually smoothing, Sun Wu raised his right hand and shouted a few words, making a tactical gesture to his teammates.
Klopp on the sidelines was still wondering what this tactical gesture meant, but he soon understood.
In the 38th minute, Coutinho and Kanter were entangled, and Van Dijk suddenly grabbed the ball, and then immediately sent a long-distance oblique ball without waiting for the opponent to press.
Facing Bailey’s upswing, Mane deftly pounced the ball first, then one jumped away and flashed Bailey from the other side.
“Oh, Mane scored…beautiful!”
“Mane accelerates… really fast, 2 hits 3, 2 hits 3!”
“Sarah shot… Joe Hart, Hart again, this is his sixth save in the first half.”
Klopp sighed. Of course he could see it now, but he couldn’t think of a good way.
Although Griezmann and Falcao both recovered and assisted in defense, both Salah and Mane on the two sides had super personal abilities, and the two were enough to fight a high-quality counterattack, even if they did not get good. Falcao and Griezmann will also move forward to support the shooting opportunities.
In the final analysis, Klopp’s Liverpool lack an excellent midfield organizer, of course, this does not mean that Liverpool lack of confidence to attack.
However, in the face of Manchester United who have a defensive advantage, Liverpool have to mobilize more personnel to create a threat. The weakness in the backcourt will also increase, and Matip, Bailey and Nzongqi can withstand. Salah, Mane’s shock?
In the next half of the first half, Liverpool cautiously recovered, they hope to leave the chance of a decisive victory to the second half, after all, they still have an advantage in away goals, only one goal can eliminate Manchester United.
However, Sun Wu was not powerful enough to immediately command Manchester United to make another big attack on the attack. Klopp on the sidelines was angry and itchy. Although Liverpool’s frontcourt did not lack strong players on the offensive, but it lacked absolute speed, such as lack of Mane and Salah are able to complete consecutive excellent hands in rapid progress.
Goetze’s technique is good, but the speed is absolutely not fast enough, Coutinho has the ability to pass, and the ability to pass the cloud arrow, but the speed and superiority are not his strengths. Depe has the speed, but he is on this side. Opponent Paval hasn’t had a lot of forwards today, and his markings are very strict. Firmino… well, I won’t say it.
Watching Salah and Mane turning over the river on both sides, Klopp’s eyes were red, and he began to miss Royce of Dortmund.
In the last few minutes, Sun Wu honestly didn’t intervene frequently. Instead, he defended with Kanter and carried out anti-robbing from time to time. But without Sun Wu, Manchester United’s offensive was still outstanding.
In the 43rd minute, Salah rubbed a rainbow in the left rib, and Joe Hart watched the ball fly to the far corner unresponsively, rubbing the crossbar and flying out of the bottom line.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Mane and Luke Shaw played a wonderful wall-court match, which strongly overshadowed Piszick, but was pulled down from the side and back by the Polish defender in the penalty area.
The referee knew that Qiuqiu did not give a penalty but only gave Piszic a yellow card.
As Van Dijk received a free kick from Griezmann, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
On the kop stand, applause and boos alternated from time to time.
The two players walked into the player’s tunnel in twos and threes. Sun Wu slowed down a few words with Rolf and Giggs…As a result, he had to leave the field under the cover of the riot police’s shield.
At the opening, Liverpool fans on both sides of the player’s channel tickled their hands. Now that they see Sun Wu alone, where would they give up such a good opportunity…
The pretending calm Sun Wu was cruel in his heart, so this is bullying the honest man!
I thought Bayern was so arrogant and arrogant at the time. As a result of this meeting, in addition to Robben, who couldn’t control his mouth, even Henes did not make any negative comments on Sun Wu and Manchester United…
Sun Wu encouraged himself so much in my heart…I didn’t do well enough!
Back to the locker room, Sun Wu did not explain to McFerlan and Rolf, but to all the players who did not play.
“Klopp is not a fool, 15 minutes is enough for him to find a countermeasure, Liverpool will definitely adjust in the second half.”
“However, we continue to attack!”
“Today we only need to score!”
Sun Wu’s sights were swept over the attacking players’ faces in the midfield and frontcourt. Griezmann, Falcao, Salah and Mane, who started today, are in good shape, especially Mane, one pass and one pass Make great achievements.
“Unless I have a clear tactical gesture ~www.mtlnovel.com~ otherwise there is no need to save physical strength and no deep drawback to assist defense, I just need to score, score!”
Sun Wu turned to look at Van Dijk and Lucas, “Liverpool’s counterattack in the second half… don’t hesitate if you need to foul, on the one hand, don’t give them a chance to shoot directly from the free kick, on the other hand, don’t be soft, I will get a yellow card. Substitution.”
“In other words, today’s game, unless it is injured, exhausted, and received a yellow card, otherwise I will not replace.”
“Forty-five minutes of the second half, we will only attack from start to finish, I will kill them with goals!”
After all this, Sun Wu looked at Phil Jones, “What’s the matter?”
Phil Jones hesitated before pulling out a cardboard and a marker from his bag.
Sun Wu took it with a smile and wrote a number on the cardboard with a marker.
A heavy gasp sounded in the quiet locker room. Sun Wu was very satisfied to see that almost all the starting players were very motivated and seemed to be able to run another marathon.
