Chapter 566: No suspense Double Red Club

After defeating Burnley, Liverpool maintained the momentum of winning streak in recent times, and finally waited until Chelsea lost the chain in the league.
As Chelsea interrupted their winning streak in this round of the game, the position of the league leader has returned to Liverpool's hands, and Liverpool has regained the initiative in the championship.
However, the schedule after Liverpool will be full of challenges. Not only will they encounter strong opponents in the league, but in the latest UEFA Champions League draw, Liverpool, which aims to hit the Champions League champions, has drawn Bayern Munich, one of the three cosmic teams.
Many clubs in Europe nowadays, in terms of their strength, are definitely Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which are the only ones in Europe. Not only the total value of the team's players, the depth of the bench, but also the stability of the team lineup have made these three teams in Europe's top positions in recent years.
Although Liverpool have completed their rise in recent seasons, in terms of strength, Liverpool's overall strength is still at a disadvantage after being compared with the drawn Bayern.
After drawing an absolute difference in the Champions League game, Liverpool can only put it aside for the time being. After all, the quarter-finals of the Champions League will have to wait until April, and they have a more important league and they need to face it. . Throughout the second half of March, Liverpool faced obstacles from two strong teams in the domestic league.
First touch Manchester United to play a real double red club, then meet Arsenal to play a battle.
One host and one guest are definitely two bad battles waiting for Liverpool.
Double Reds matches have not always been easy matches.
For Manchester United, after the decline at the beginning of the season, now they meet Liverpool again, the two teams are already in a different situation. In recent games, Liverpool has made a leap in performance with continuous winning streaks.
And Manchester United's league results are still better, worse, the team's efficiency in scoring points is not stable.
In the league standings, Manchester United has fallen to fifth place, 4 points away from the qualifications of the Champions League, Arsenal ranked fourth.
Of course, in a Double Reds match, never care about the true strength of the two teams.
As the most closely watched two giants in the Premier League match, a few years ago, including the previous 20 years, Liverpool, as a veteran giant, was rubbed on the ground by upstart Manchester United.
And now, the feng shui turns, the results of Liverpool and Manchester United have turned over. Liverpool naturally has to seize every opportunity to beat Manchester United, and regain Manchester United in historical results.
However, when the Double Reds officially started, everyone put aside the current gap in results in the league and fixed the game on the spot.
Once again, Anfield Stadium is full of seats. For Liverpool fans, they have waited too long to see that their old opponents do not have much strength and are "humiliated" by the home team.
For Manchester United, "Chef Fan" has not tried crazy new dishes.
Some of the "old clappers" of Manchester United in the past few seasons are still Van Gaal's most trusted players.
Van Gaal is now under considerable pressure on performance. If his predecessor Moyes did not achieve good results in the league and his lack of signings was used as an excuse, then Van Gaal held close to 200 million pounds in the early days of taking office. A lot of support, but after the new season can not even qualify for the Champions League, it is really outrageous, it will be a huge blow to the trust of fans and the top team in him.
But now the results are worse, and there are also some bad luck for Van Gaal.
Now that some "old clappers" are reused, not only are these veterans with sufficient experience in the Premier League stable, but also the team's new assistance injuries.
Rojo and Luke Shaw, who are the most importantly introduced in the summer, are the players that Manchester United introduced at a high price to supplement the fresh blood of the full back. At the beginning, they were all used as the main full backs of Manchester United in the next 5 years. Injuries prevented a lot of time from appearing.
While Manchester United’s summer transfer champion, the MVP of last season’s Champions League match, "Angel" Di Maria, has been unable to adapt to the physical confrontation and the rhythm of the game in the Premier League and cannot make much contribution to the team. .
A visit to Liverpool.
Manchester United's 4141 lineup is a lineup tactic commonly used by Van Gaal these days.
Only in terms of player configuration, Van Gaal also had to use some players and play some positions on his behalf to deal with today's "player crisis".
The striker of this game, veteran Rooney, has become Manchester United's single striker again. Behind him, in addition to Mata's ability to deliver the ball, he still needs two sides to attack in more places, relying on the offense from the sides. Complete the offense of the game.
As for Liverpool, compared to the previous match against Manchester United, the team has stronger strength and the players also have a more tacit cooperation.
Now there is still a home advantage, making Liverpool's combat power a huge bonus.
Of course, in Manchester United, Fellaini and Carrick's double midfielder lineup, Liverpool's offense will definitely be under great pressure.
The rhythm of the game after the start of the game is not too far from the media forecast before the game.
Liverpool occupies an absolute dominant position, sitting on the home court, unquestionably holding the initiative on the offensive end, possession of the ball, as well as offensive opportunities, and the number of shots are absolutely leading.
It's just that Manchester United did a good job defensively.
Double midfielders to block the midfield, the players on the two sides, at the expense of a certain offense, occupy a good defensive position to limit Liverpool's wing breakthrough.
This also enabled Liverpool to gain the upper hand without scoring in the entire first half. In the game, it occupied the offensive advantage, but it could not be converted into a goal score.
However, these veterans and survivors of the Ferguson era do not have much advantage over Liverpool in terms of age.
Active attacking, Liverpool, which has the initiative to attack, has made Manchester United players suffer from both physical and mental exhaustion.
The Manchester United players are more tired than the Liverpool players. Under such circumstances, Liverpool only needs to launch the offensive step by step to make certain Manchester United players exhausted.
For example, Rooney who is already "aging and frail", such as Professor Yang who is responsible for defending his body and back from the side, and Mata who is not good at defending...
Liverpool's offense today is chasing after some obvious defensive weaknesses in Manchester United.
Even in a short period of time, under Manchester United's overall defense and the excellent defense of other players, in view of these weaknesses, they can only create opportunities, and cannot really lock in the victory and create points.
However, the overall defensive consumption of Manchester United is to the greatest extent, making many of Manchester United's defensive players have to pay for these loopholes, to pay their physical strength, pay defensive attention to make up for defense.
Liverpool did not score a goal in the first half. Manchester United defended the team and defended the first 45 minutes after paying the price of physical strength, attention and 4 yellow cards.
Liverpool had shots and couldn't make a goal.
Of course, as a Manchester United team that is also a top giant, even if it is suppressed by the home team and its old opponent Liverpool, Manchester United will not directly raise their hands and hand in their guns. They must find a way to launch some counterattacks.
It's just that Manchester United's single striker Wayne Rooney, or the assaulter behind him such as Mata, does not have any advantage when facing Liverpool's last line of defense composed of Yang Feng and Scott.
After all, Manchester United sacrificed the number of offensive players in the team for a relatively stable defense in the first half, and even the participation of counterattacks in the defensive counterattack was not high.
In the case of limited offensive players, it can always be seen that Manchester United has finally completed the defense and when they want to launch a counterattack, they come to an abrupt end.
Skrtel rushed up, and Yang Feng was responsible for the last mark on the defensive line to make up the defense. Liverpool, the central defender team that has cooperated all the year round, has a clear division of labor and does not give Manchester United any chance of counterattack.
For Rooney, this may be his last season at Manchester United.
The decline in physical condition is an indisputable fact. Today, I can no longer run like a few years ago on the court.
Maybe the shooting is still there, but after all he is a veteran who has passed his peak period. He does not have enough physical energy and speed is the support. On the field, sometimes I see the open space in the field, but due to my own reasons, I can’t get to the position. , Was destroyed by defensive players.
When facing other teams, Rooney already felt a sense of effort, and now once again, in the game, facing Yang Feng, this sense of effort has become a sense of powerlessness.
Yang Feng's defense is really perfect.
As far as Liverpool's backcourt can be seen, Yang Feng's position is like the center of many areas on the field.
No matter which area Manchester United counter-attacked a teammate's pass, Yang Feng will always rush to the landing area to complete the destruction at the first time, in the game.
Even if sometimes Rooney relies on his own experience and does not need to look at it, using the team's tactical moves, or the tacit understanding between the players, knowing that Carrick’s pass will probably fall and run ahead, but in the end, Yang Feng will always Stand in front of Rooney, take a step ahead of Rooney, complete the defensive position, or directly clear the siege.
"After all, I am still old. When facing Yang, are you already at such a comprehensive disadvantage?"
Even if Rooney doesn't want to admit it, this is the reality. Every veteran, no matter how brilliant he was, will be eliminated by the torrent of the times as his physical functions decline.
Rooney's perception of Liverpool on the defensive end applies to these few players who participated in the counterattack against Liverpool.
Liverpool's defense has become more and more impenetrable.
Yang Feng's personal protection has reached its extreme in this double red meeting.
Precise judgment, defensive performance without any mistakes, make the most uncomfortable defensive position choice for offensive players.
In the first half, Yang Feng counterattacked several Manchester United players in turn. Before they threatened, they directly killed them in the bud.
Even if the Manchester United players want to bypass Yang Feng, they are actively fighting for Liverpool in the frontcourt and Manchester United can only choose long passes in the backcourt. The entire Liverpool backcourt is under Yang Feng's control.
In the first half, it ended with 0-0. With Liverpool occupying an offensive advantage, Manchester United did not pose any threat to counterattacks several times.
When the game entered the second half, it really entered a fierce competition.
Manchester United players, in the case of continuous defensive consumption, resulting in a decline in physical fitness, the number of counterattacks they can fight is naturally less, coupled with today's Yang Feng and Scotter's excellent backcourt performance, so that Liverpool can Deploy more forces on the offensive end.
For Liverpool, a draw against Manchester United at Anfield will certainly not satisfy the fans.
The best gift for a mortal enemy is, of course, a kick on their ass, and then give them a game of defeat.
Liverpool continue to speed up their attacking rhythm, using their own speed, their own technical ability, as well as younger and more energetic running and impact to completely bring down the "old" Manchester United.
Sterling is Liverpool's best hot spot player.
This season is a year when Sterling completely broke out. This last season was only the most inconspicuous young man on the Liverpool striker. This season, he used his burst performance to cover up the light of everyone else.
In positional warfare, counterattack warfare, Sterling can give full play to his characteristics.
Super fast personal speed, combined with the technology underfoot, this is the reason why Sterling has grown so fast.
The increasingly strong personal breakthrough ability on the wing is Liverpool's absolute weapon against Manchester United's defense.
Once, twice, three times, but Manchester United could not defend countless times.
Sterling is so young and has enough physical fitness to keep trying.
For Manchester United players, for this side of the defense, it is impossible to achieve every time, especially when the player's physical fitness and attention drop as the game time progresses.
After breaking through Smalling's defense with speed again, because he had a yellow card when defending Sterling in the first half, Smalling was afraid to make big defensive moves to stop Sterling. .
This also allows Sterling to ride a small motorcycle directly into Manchester United's penalty area, further creating confusion for Manchester United's defense.
As a typical British defender, Phil Jones, who is tall, lacks sufficient flexibility and can be used as a physical shield. However, when defending, facing the flexible Sterling, he is self-defeating. Not interesting.
After getting rid of Smalling’s defense and facing Phil Jones, Sterling has enough offensive space and can fully show his flexibility. After a smash and a dunk over Phil Jones~www.mtlnovel .com~ When the other defenders didn't make up their positions, Sterling kicked the ball directly and attacked.
After passing two people in a row, although Sterling's forward speed was further reduced, it was enough for Sterling to dribble the ball to a position very close to the goal.
Sterling faced De Gea, even though the angle was not big, he still kicked and finished the goal.
Sterling knew that his control over the angle of the door needed to be strengthened, but Sterling still understood the principle of reducing ten times.
A powerful volley, trying to keep the ball within the frame.
Indeed, from a small angle, De Gea rushed to the football, but the afterburning football cannot be changed by De Gea.
After the ball was blocked by De Gea's open right arm, it still flew to the goal "stubbornly" and hit the net.
Sterling, in the 64th minute of the game, used his personal ability to forcefully break the deadlock and take the lead for Liverpool.
The next game was more like a game, Liverpool's rolling offensive and defensive teaching for Manchester United.
With Liverpool occupying various advantages, this double Red Club gradually evolved into a strong versus weak teaching.
The Jie team, who came off the bench, sprinkled salt on Manchester United's wounds.
In the familiar area of ​​Anfield, which area and what shooting power can be used to shoot the most threatening long shots, the Jie team has already formed muscle memory. Off the bench, the well-supplied Jie team faced Manchester United's weakened defense line due to a decline in physical fitness. A heavy shelling 25 meters away expanded the score for Liverpool.
Team Jie, the Liverpool child, once again, when facing his arch rival Manchester United, dedicated a goal for the team, Anfield Stadium, completely plunged into joy...
