Young Football Player - Chapter 337

The results of the Champions League round of 16 draw came out. Liverpool won the easier Porto. This is good news. However, the Champions League knockouts will not start until February next year. Liverpool still needs to prepare for the domestic game in England.

At present, what Liverpool need to consider is the next 16th round of the Premier League, the England red derby, Liverpool go to an away game to challenge Manchester United.

On the English side, Liverpool and Manchester are themselves two competing cities. Because of the long-term competitive relationship and some historical reasons, the hostility between the two cities is quite serious.

And in the football field, this kind of hatred was naturally inherited. The most representative teams of the two cities compete with each other, that is, the red derby in England.

Every red derby is a passionate collision between the two teams, which will form a sparkling football battlefield.

, the Liverpool team came to Manchester and will have the first red derby of the season at Old Trafford.

In fact, Manchester and Liverpool are really close, which is just an hour’s drive away.

When Liverpool’s bus appeared in Manchester, it immediately received a “warm greeting” from Manchester United fans.

Some people throw stones and trash at buses, and some verbally abuse them. Anyway, they are all sorts of things that make Liverpool uncomfortable.

Actually speaking, although Liverpool and Manchester United have a deep hatred, in most cases it is Manchester United that attaches more importance to this hatred, which is mainly determined by the identity of the two teams.

Although Manchester United is the first English team to win the Champions League, Liverpool is the English team that has won the most in the Champions League and the team that has established dominance on the European continent.

In football, when it comes to the teams that have dominated Europe in the last century, everyone will say Real Madrid, Benfica, Ajax, Bayern, Liverpool and AC Milan, but no one will say Manchester United.

Even if Ferguson led Manchester United to the Champions League final in four years, but except for the 2008 penalty shootout that narrowly beat Chelsea, the other two were slammed by Barcelona, so no one would say that they are dominant.

As for Manchester Uniteds treble in 1999, it was even more thrilling to win the three championships.

However, it is amazing to be able to win the championship together in the third line without much advantage in every event.

Generally speaking, Liverpool is better than Manchester United in terms of history, so Manchester United has always faced Liverpool as a challenger, so they value this kind of derby hatred even more.

Even if they have now surpassed Liverpool in the domestic league and achieved what Ferguson said that Liverpool was pulled off the horse, their long-term self-proclaimed challengers will not change. They have always been the side with deeper hatred in the red derby. .

At 1:30 noon local time in the UK, Liverpools away game against Manchester United officially started.

Liverpool still arranged the 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Mignole;

Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Scotter, Glen Johnson;

Midfielder: Gerrard, Henderson, Lallana;

Forwards: Coutinho, Jackie Lee, Sterling.

This lineup is almost like Liverpool’s regular lineup this season. The change is that midfielder Lallana and Emre Can rotate, or sometimes Coutinho will return to midfield.

Manchester United, they arranged a 442 formation,

Goalkeeper: De Gea;

Defenders: Ashley Young, Evans, Phil Jones, Valencia;

Midfielder: Fellaini, Carrick, Mata, Rooney;

Forwards: Van Persie, Wilson.

At present, Manchester United has a lot of injuries. Di Maria, Luke Shaw, Lingard, Smalling and others are out due to injuries.

Compared to Manchester United, Liverpool has only one important player absent from Sturridge, which is not bad.

Speaking of, in the summer of the transfer, Di Maria was as famous as Jackie Lee at the time, and his transfer fee was not much less than that of Jackie Lee.

But after joining the Premier League, the performance of the two is not at the same level.

Di Maria can’t adapt to the rivalry rhythm of the Premier League at all. She has been repeatedly ravaged on the court like a actress and is also vulnerable to injury.

In short, Manchester Uniteds highest investment in the summer transfer seems to be difficult to meet expectations.

Before the game started, Manchester United fans created a huge momentum at Old Trafford and wanted to put pressure on Liverpool psychologically.

But after the game officially began, Liverpool was very anti-office.

In a patter of rain, Atkinson blew the opening whistle.

In the first offense in the opening game, Li Chenglong’s pass helped Liverpool earn a corner kick, and then Lovren succeeded in the corner kick attack and completed the header. come out.

Three minutes later, Fellaini fouled because he couldn’t prevent Sterling’s breakthrough. The first yellow card of the game was produced.

In the 11th minute, Li Chenglong received a through ball from Lallana and suddenly volleyed from the left side of the penalty area, but he was thrown out by De Gea.

“At the beginning of the game, Liverpool had the meaning of being anti-visitor, but De Gea performed very well. He saved Liverpool’s threatening shots in a few minutes.”

The English commentator can also be regarded as speaking the tone of the game.

Liverpool played very well, but they have some advantage in the away game.

But helpless De Gea is in excellent condition, directly incarnate as the duck father of Manchester United fans, and continuously make brave saves.

In this situation, Manchester United’s counterattack was very impressive.

Since Van Gaal took over this season, Manchester United once ranked in the second half of the standings in the early stage. At that time, Chef Fan was frequently reported to be dismissed.

Now Manchester United’s performance has improved, but Manchester United fans have begun to criticize the team’s ugly play.

This feels a bit like a Real Madrid fan, not only to win, but also to look good.

Although the scene is not very attractive, Manchester United’s counter-attacking style is still somewhat effective. Recently, they have won five straight in the Premier League.

Soon, Manchester United broke through the Liverpool defense with a counterattack.

In the 18th minute, Valencia counterattacked with the ball and sent an inverted triangle back pass after passing Lallana. Rooney rushed to the goal and pushed with his right foot, pushing the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Boom! !

This goal directly caused Old Trafford to explode, and cheers were everywhere in the stands.

Jackie Lee even heard Manchester United fans cursing him specifically.

“Damn bastard, you can’t even compare to a toe on Wayne!!!”

“Wayne is a hundred times stronger than you!”

The problems between Jackie Lee and the England national team have almost been dug up by the media.

The English media claimed in reports that Jackie Lee just wanted to replace Rooney’s position as the national team boss, so he has been unable to agree with the FA.

For other fans, they may think it doesn’t matter who is the national team leader, as long as they can lead the team to win.

But for Manchester United fans, they must support Rooney, especially because Lee Chenglong is the head of Liverpool.

Now that Rooney has opened the record in the red derby, of course, Manchester United fans are taking the opportunity to “humiliate” Lee Chenglong.

Manchester United scored the first goal, and then Liverpool’s offensive was even more fierce, because the whole team wanted to tie the score as soon as possible.

In the 24th minute, Gerrards long-range shot caused a refraction behind Ashley Youngs arm, but this unexpected refraction was actually thrown out by De Gea.

There is no way, he has turned on the duck father mode now, and the bug has already been released.

Liverpool lags behind, eagerly hoping to tie the score, and Manchester United are not to be outdone, the interception and defense on the field are very active, so the action of both sides gradually increased.

In the 27th minute, Li Chenglong directly tackled Valencia, who counterattacked with the ball from the side, and received a yellow card.

In the 31st minute ~~ Glen Johnson was injured when he collided with Fellaini in the fight.

Rogers can only make substitutions, let Yaya Toure’s brother Kolo Toure play, and temporarily go to the right back.

Under the premise that both sides have strengthened their confrontation, this time Manchester United has found an opportunity again.

In the 39th minute, Ashley Young sent a cross from the left, Van Persie flew the header from the center, and Mata at the back point finished with a diving head hammer.

Seeing that he was broken again, Li Chenglong was a little disappointed, but he heard the shouts of his teammates.

“Offside!! That’s an offside ball!!”

Just yelled with Lovren who was defending against Mata. Li Chenglong was far from the position just now. I don’t know if it is really offside, but he also followed up to pressure the referee.

At this time during the TV broadcast, the goal just now was being replayed.

“Uh, according to this screen, Mata was indeed offside just now.”

“When Yang kicked up the ball, Mata was not offside, but when Van Persie flew the header, Mata was clearly in an offside position. At that time, most of his body was stuck out.”

This broadcast image immediately aroused the curse of countless Liverpool fans, but it did not change the situation on the field.

Atkinson firmly believed that it was a valid goal and gave Lovren a yellow card, which was fiercely protesting.

Just like that, Liverpool scored two goals in the first half before they arrived, and temporarily fell behind with a score of 0:2.
