Chapter 455: .455 England Derby!

The battle at Anfield is about to come, and the starters of the two teams enter the court with their heads up and chest up.
The noise at the scene was deafening.
"Good afternoon, friends and spectators, welcome to the fifth round of the new Premier League season, one of the highlights of the world's attention!
The Reds Liverpool will host the Red Devils Manchester United at Anfield, and the two teams will play the England Derby!
Before the game, the coaches of the two teams chatted for a long time on the sidelines. I don’t know what topics Ferguson and Situ Yunbing would have in common. They had a confrontation in the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League knockout round, when Situ Yunbing led Monaco out. Manchester United, and now they have become rivals at the club level!
Hehe, looking at the appearance of the two coaches now, there is probably nothing to talk about.
In the first four rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool performed amazingly. It can be said that the team has completed its transformation under the leadership of Situ Yunbing. They not only defeated Arsenal, but also scored 3 points on defending champion Manchester City.
Manchester United suffered a black start in the first round of the league, but then achieved three consecutive victories, and the state is also quickly recovered, especially their new aid Van Persie has scored 4 goals, which can be described as full of firepower.
But Liverpool is obviously more surprising in terms of offensive firepower. The combination of Suarez and Gareth Bale, plus Gerrard, allowed Liverpool to score 12 goals in the first 4 rounds of the league and average goals per game. 3!
Here are the starting lineups of both sides.
Liverpool started 442.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Glen Johnson, Scottell, Benatia, Enrique.
Midfielder: Lucas, Gerrard, Casemiro, Eriksson.
Forwards: Suarez, Gareth Bale.
Manchester United started 4231.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.
Midfielder: Valencia, Carrick, Shinji Kagawa, Giggs, Nani.
Forward: Van Persie.
Rooney's absence has damaged Manchester United's strength. Manchester United's offensive hopes today will be pinned on Van Persie!
Alright, the starting lineups of the two teams have been introduced, let us now enjoy the England Derby together! "
Manchester United’s biggest reinforcement in the summer is in the goalkeeper and striker positions. Situ Yunbing didn’t think about bringing De Gea to Liverpool, but the problem is to consider the salary system and De Gea himself prefers to join one. The team competing in the Champions League, so Situ Yunbing finally did not fight.
Van Persie arrived in the contract year, but he was able to transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United at a value of close to 30 million pounds. Because of his super performance at Arsenal last season, it can be said that if the Premier League is ranked on the front line, Van Persie is absolutely Steady in the top three, the remaining two are Suarez and Aguero. As for who is the first, second, or third, it's up to the end of the season to look at the statistics and achievements.
With the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the game kicked off!
After the opening, Liverpool quickly started to push forward from the center, and Casemiro sent the ball diagonally to Gerrard's feet from the center of the circle.
Gerrard faced Giggs, who played as a guest midfielder today, and quickly completed a wall collision with Suarez.
When he hit the front of the penalty area, Manchester United's defense line contracted in the backcourt, but Gerrard knocked the ball diagonally back to Eriksson who came in from the left side of the midfield.
The Danish midfielder stopped and continued to push forward. Shinji Kagawa and Valencia flanked him, and Eriksson quickly took the ball to the left.
Gareth Bale took the lead and pushed forward. When facing Raphael, he almost ignored the opponent's existence, forced acceleration and physical confrontation to make a breakthrough!
Rafael tried to seize the position of Gareth Bale but was unsuccessful. On the contrary, he was hit and almost lost his center of gravity.
Gareth Bale didn't drag the ball after he played the offensive depth advantage after wading the ball from the flank, and directly tied the ball to the front zone!
It was too late for Ferdinand to return to the interception. Suarez's outflanking midfield was about to grab some points. De Gea took the lead and confiscated the ball!
"Wow! This scene feels a little weird. Gareth Bale passes, Suarez outflanks, and De Gea resolves the danger.
Two years ago, the three were still playing on the same team. Last season, De Gea and Gareth Bale were teammates. Now the three are reunited in the Premier League. If you count Benatia, hehe, I think Monaco fans Watching this game will definitely burst into tears. "
De Gea immediately initiated a fast attack. He threw the ball to the left. When Evra waded the ball forward from the left, Gerrard quickly assisted the side to chase him. Evra was near the center line. When the ball is passed straight ahead.
After leading the ball from the wing, Nani continued to push forward. Seeing Lucas and Johnson flanked him, he immediately knocked the ball across the center.
Casemiro was ready to make a press steal against Shinji Kagawa. Last season, Shinji Kagawa, who was second only to De Bruyne among midfielders in the Bundesliga, quickly stabbed the ball forward and the football rolled to Van Persie's feet. .
Van Persie, who pulled the ball and turned around, shot without waiting for Scott to grab his foot!
The football flew straight to the bottom right of the goal center like a cannonball, Ter Stegen swooped forward and barely saved the ball with a single palm!
call!
The Red Devils fans are amazed!
"Van Persie's shot almost rewrote the score!
The Dutch striker can now create a shooting threat as long as he gets the ball! "
Situ Yunbing was on the sidelines and gestured to the defensive players with a serious expression, asking them to strengthen their close press against their opponents!
It is no exaggeration to say that as one of the four talents in the Netherlands, Van Persie did not grow smoothly in the first few years of Arsenal. It was mainly injuries that affected his state, and his talent was not like Robben and Van der Vaart. They are so prominent.
He can be there today thanks to a master who is now sitting on the Liverpool coach: Moniz.
Moniz taught Van Persie privately for more than four years, even after Van Persie moved to Arsenal, he took time every week to return to the Netherlands to receive Moniz's teaching.
It can be said that Van Persie was trained.
After entering the peak of his career, Van Persie has both experience and success in shooting!
He can shoot in various ways within 35 yards in front of goal and score goals!
Grab points, long shots, headers, volleys, everything is fine!
It is the success of shooting that made him one of the top strikers in European football. As long as there is no injury, his threat is very intuitive.
Because he doesn't need to be superior, he only needs to shoot.
Therefore, for Van Persie, Liverpool's defense must contain his room for action and cannot give him a chance to kick!
The main idea in Manchester United's offense is actually to hand over the ball to Van Persie.
And Liverpool's offense is more dependent on the left Gareth Bale to tear the opponent's defense and create opportunities.
In the 5th minute of the game, Gareth Bale was forced by Valencia and Rafael as soon as he stopped the ball on the left side of the frontcourt. At this time, he knocked the ball diagonally back to Eriksson and gave the ball. Immediately afterwards, they moved forward, driving Raphael and Valencia back to the defense.
At this time, Eriksson encountered a frontal interception from Carrick, and he passed the ball diagonally to the center of the penalty area.
Gerrard got rid of Giggs in a strong diagonal thrust and faced Ferdinand and Evans in the middle of the penalty area. Gerrard passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area!
Suarez swiftly moved into the space behind Evans.
Evra immediately reclaimed the restricted area, but it was too late!
Evans turned around and couldn't form a defense against Suarez, especially Suarez volleyed directly against the falling football!
Suarez, who deliberately lowered the angle and shot the ball to the far corner of the goal, was incredible watching De Gea make a save halfway through the attack and block the ball!
"De Gea magically resolved Suarez's threatening shot!
This ball is completely reactive, De Gea did it!
He showed his strength and played his worth!
This is exactly the successor to Van der Sar that Ferguson hopes to get! "
Suarez glanced at De Gea, and the latter also looked at him. There was a tacit meaning in the two eyes. From Ligue 1 to the Premier League, old friends reunited, the only pity is that they are their own masters!
Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Enrique transferred the ball from the periphery to the center, Casemiro tried a long shot, but it was a bit outrageous!
In the 8th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked from the right front. Valencia took over Giggs's backcourt and quickly moved forward. After receiving the ball, he cooperated with Shinji Kagawa to pass Eriksson and then broke through. Enrique made another pass and Van Persie followed up in the middle, but Benatia blocked the ball first.
Manchester United's offensive speed is definitely sufficient. Manchester United under Ferguson may have one or another weakness, but the offensive speed and the combination of three passes and two passes in the group are definitely the highest level.
After Gerrard controlled the ball in the center circle, Eriksson quickly moved forward. He and Gerrard joined forces to push the offensive. In fact, today they found that Manchester United's midfield defense is very weak!
This has been criticized by the outside world for many seasons of Manchester United's stubborn illness!
The defensive hardness of the midfield is not enough, and the creativity of the midfield organization is not enough!
So with Scholes's comeback after retiring, and with Ferguson's introduction of Shinji Kagawa this summer.
But still not enough!
When Gerrard and Eriksson advanced quickly, Giggs and Carrick were unable to contain their impact in the zone defense.
This time it was replaced by Eriksson, and Gerrard sent him cannonballs.
When Eriksson passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area in the front of the penalty area, Manchester United's defense had a kind of unprepared passivity.
Gareth Bale's dashing rush into the cut has always been a threat that all Premier League teams can't stop!
This time he swept the ball in front of the penalty zone again. Suarez was interrupted by Evra's quick return defense in the forward penetration point. With De Gea's attack, his shot directly hit Germany. Heya popped up!
Suarez raised his hand to Gareth Bale, slightly annoyed.
The Anfield Reds fans were obviously disappointed, but they applauded the team's performance!
