Chapter 546: The Red Devils' Jedi Counterattack


At halftime, Manchester United's coach Van Gaal emphasized that the team must keep up with Liverpool's rhythm in the second half and run more actively, so that Liverpool can no longer take the initiative on the pitch.
Manchester United must regain the advantage of the game, and in the second half, prepare to use the physical gap of the Liverpool players to launch a counterattack.
Van Gaal will never allow Manchester United under his command, like Moyes at the time, to lose to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
In the second half of the game, Liverpool had not made the opening three strikes, and Manchester United used a more fierce attack to push back. The two sides of Manchester United broke out completely, Professor Yang and Valencia on the two sides of the left and right, began to move forward more significantly, and the space behind them chose to trust their teammates.
Liverpool's frontcourt was pressed tight, and Manchester United players used their strong personal ability to directly complete a single-point breakthrough, passed the half-time, and forced Liverpool to be more late in the game and prioritize defense.
Manchester United's fast-paced attack in the second half further increased the physical consumption of Liverpool players. In the second half, Manchester United took the initiative to attack and began to gradually pass the ball into Liverpool's penalty area to create enough threats.
However, Yang Feng has a very good defensive experience for his old opponent Van Persie.
A hairy kid like Wilson is handed over to Scotter and back to the defense to watch. Yang Feng defends Van Persie 1v1 and has an absolute advantage.
Van Persie has no room to hit the door at all.
In the "General Fan" facing Yang Feng, he has always been completely restrained by Yang Feng, and he has no chance to show his true qualities as a shooter. Manchester United’s passes to Liverpool’s midfield are basically under the control of Liverpool’s defenders. Even if Manchester United players are barely in the penalty area and scramble for a spot, there is almost no good opportunity to get in the game.
Chance to hit the door.
For Van Persie, being so defensively suppressed by Yang Feng is really unacceptable.
Privately, Van Persie had also studied Yang Feng's defense, and wanted to find a way to defend against Yang Feng in the game. However, in addition to the retreat or pull side he was not good at, in the penalty area, Van Persie found that Yang Feng can be seen everywhere. , Hardly make any mistakes.
It is even more difficult if you want to attack the goal yourself in the penalty area.
His own shots are restricted, and Van Persie can only choose to find another way, striving to better cooperate with his teammates in the game to create a greater threat on the offensive end.
When Liverpool players are physically fit, they can also use running on the defensive end to effectively prevent Manchester United's offensive advancement.
But as the time of the game increases, the physical fitness of Liverpool players will of course also decline to a certain extent. At this time, it is Manchester United's opportunity.
Especially for Liverpool midfielders, due to the decline in physical fitness, the running range is reduced. In the game, it is naturally impossible to implement a full range of defenses on the wing.
This also makes Manchester United's wing offensive come faster and more threatening.
At 64 minutes of the game, Manchester United's continuous wing attack finally achieved results.
Ashley Young, defending by himself against Liverpool's right back Glen Johnson on the left road, without the help of others, Professor Yang gave full play to his agility.
The continuous fake moves successfully shook the center of gravity of Glen Johnson.
After that, Ashley Young pulled the ball directly laterally and directly crossed the ball at 45 degrees.
This time, the previous point area was found.
The ball passed a little, and Van Persie wanted to get rid of Yang Feng in the penalty area and rushed to the point.
Yang Feng has always followed Van Persie, because Van Persie started when Professor Yang did not pass the ball.
Therefore, for Yang Feng, it is impossible to occupy a favorable defensive position. Under such circumstances, when Ashley Young’s pass is predicted to fall, Yang Feng can only do his best to chase Van Persie and prepare to head the ball. Take off to form enough interference.
After comprehensively judging where the ball fell, and his position with Van Persie, Yang Feng still had confidence in defending Van Persie's header.
Van Persie can touch the ball first, but if he chooses to head the goal, he has enough time to take off and can interfere with him.
It’s just that Van Persie’s eyes were sweeping Yang Feng at the back, and he found that Yang Feng’s distance was too close. He took off and headed the goal. He might be disturbed by Yang Feng. Van Persie was heartbroken. Van Persie didn’t choose to header. Hit the door.
Without shaking his head to attack the goal, adjusting his body shape and take-off height, Van Persie took off directly ahead of Yang Feng in order not to give Yang Feng a chance to interfere with him, although the take-off height was not enough for him to complete his head shaking.
But Van Persie could force the header to scratch, and before Yang Fengwei arrived, he scratched the ball to the back point.
Both Scotter and Emre Can were attracted defensive attention by Wilson and Rooney in the penalty area, while ignoring Mata, who has been on the offensive end as a transparent person.
Mata appeared at the back point, and no Liverpool player was defending.
Mata headed straight for the goal, but Mignole couldn't make a save.
1 to 1, Manchester United's wing attack finally came into play and evened the score in the second half.
Liverpool's defense declared a loss in the middle of the second half, which also made Rogers somewhat helpless.
He just prepared to make substitution adjustments to further strengthen the team's defense, and suffered such a blow.
Rogers can only put Jose Enrique back on the bench~EbookFREE.me~ Let Gerrard come on the bench first, replace Lucas, further strengthen the team's midfield offense, and appropriately Provides some defensive vitality in the midfield.
However, when Rogers was still thinking about going further at Old Trafford and scoring another goal, not reconciled to a draw.
The home team Manchester United, who were also unwilling to draw, created a murderous opportunity on the wing within a short time.
This time it was Valencia on the right.
Facing Flanagan's defense, Valencia ate Flanagan on the right, relying on speed and excellent confrontation ability to traverse Flanagan's defense.
After that, a cross was passed into the Liverpool penalty area.
Liverpool's defense in the penalty area is still quite good, and there is no leakage.
Mata, who responded to the previous point, was stuck tightly by Emre Jan, and there was no room for a shot.
But Mata grabbed the pass and didn't stop the ball and gave Emre Can a chance to grab the ball. Instead, he went straight on, facing the pass, knocked his heel and changed the pass line.
This heel knock is definitely a magical touch. Van Persie retreated to open up space with Yang Feng. Yang Feng rushed to block the pass in front of the goal or defend the goal line. This time he did not care about Van Persie.
And Van Persie, just appeared in the position of Mata's heel "pass".
With a calm push without a defender, Van Persie directly hit the goal and ran to the bottom left corner.
2 to 1! Manchester United scored 2 goals within 5 minutes and quickly overtook the score.
The Old Trafford Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​red joy. Manchester United fans are celebrating frantically. This scene of the team's overtaking victory over rival Liverpool...
