Chapter 314
Manchester United is not easy to deal with, especially Manchester United who want to maintain the top four positions in the league.

As soon as the game started, Manchester United showed an aggressive offensive.

From the kick-off of Liverpool, the Manchester United players pressed hard all the way. Faced with this situation, the Liverpool players could only keep passing back.

Even if the ball was passed to the feet of goalkeeper Mignolet, the Manchester United players had no intention of giving up and continued to rush towards Mignolet in the penalty area, even if Mignolet kicked the ball out and let their The pressing turned into a futile effort, and they did not hesitate for half a second.

Whether you can grab it or not is one thing, but the key is to show an oppressive momentum.

Even if this kind of action can only cause a little psychological pressure on the opposing players, if it accumulates just a little bit, it will lead to quantitative changes and qualitative changes.

In the 5th minute, Liverpool launched an attack.

Salah's powerful shot from the left penalty area was saved by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

The football did not fly out of the baseline, but fell into the penalty area and was cleared by Manchester United's defender.

Manchester United took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack, hitting Liverpool's goal.

Martial took a long shot and was dragged off the crossbar by Mignolet, giving Manchester United a corner kick.

Martial went to punish the corner kick.

Martial took the corner kick, and when Lovren and the opponent's center back Blind were fighting for the top, he rubbed the football and the football flew directly to the center of the penalty area!
Then Rooney shook his head and rubbed the football towards the goal!
Lovren is like ferrying Rooney...

The football was thrown into a parabola by Rooney. The football bypassed Mignolet's fingers, fell from the air, and hit the crossbar!
But the football did not fly out of the baseline, but fell and bounced back to the goal.

Schneiderlin, the captain of Manchester United, cleverly appeared at the landing point, shook his head, and pushed the football towards the goal that was close at hand!
Mignolet had just jumped up to attack Rooney's header. At this time, it was too late to make a second reaction.

The football flew into Liverpool's goal!
"Schneiderlin!! He opened the scoring for Manchester United! In just 7 minutes, Manchester United took a one-goal lead! Liverpool are in trouble!"

Huge cheers erupted throughout Old Trafford.

Amid the cheers, Schneiderlin and his Manchester United teammates embraced and celebrated the goal.

Klopp got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted to the Liverpool players in the stadium: "Don't panic! Hold on!"

Without Lin Yi on the court, he had to do more.

After the game restarted, the Liverpool players did not show panic. Although they lost the ball, they still had a chance to get it back as long as they didn't mess up their position.

In the next game, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war. Everyone had a chance, but no one's chance was particularly good and no goal was scored.

After the game entered a tug-of-war, although both sides had opportunities, overall, Manchester United had the upper hand.After all, they are leading the score, and they will be better than Liverpool in terms of mentality and morale.

But Liverpool are also tenacious.

In the 208th minute, when Salah broke through on the left wing, he first tried to go to the baseline, but suddenly cut inside.

The Manchester United defender Damian who was guarding him was too late to turn around and intercept, so he had no choice but to pull Salah down.

Liverpool were awarded a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Royce takes the free kick.

Liverpool's central defender ran to the opponent's goal, which was like a corner kick with a shorter distance and a wider angle.

Royce then drove the football out and headed straight for the goal.

In the process, Skrtel advanced towards the football, then jumped up and headed the ball backwards!
The football was pushed towards the goal by him!
This header and the body rub were suddenly too subtle.Goalkeeper De Gea's vision was disrupted. When the football flew over, although he made a save, it was too late...

The football just flew into Manchester United's goal!
"Skrtel!! Skrtel, he equalized the score for Liverpool! Tenacious Liverpool! They are not willing to admit defeat in the away game!"

As soon as Skrtel scored, Klopp jumped up, raised his arms and shouted.

Lin Yi rushed out of his seat with the same excitement. Since he became the main force at Liverpool, this was the first time he was not included in the starting lineup and sat on the bench to watch the game...

In the past, when the team scored, he would hug and celebrate with his scoring teammates on the court, but now he can only cheer with his substitute teammates.

But Lin Yi didn't care about this. Seeing Liverpool equalize the score, he was happy for the team.

But Lin Yi was not happy for long. In the 304th minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack and passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Rooney headed the ball in the frontcourt and then passed it to Martial who cut inside on a diagonal.

Martial used his right foot to smooth the ball that came against him, and then drove the ball towards Liverpool's penalty area.

Facing a front-on interception by two Liverpool defenders, Martial noticed Lingard on the right, so he dribbled horizontally to continue to attract Liverpool's defensive attention and at the same time allow Lingard to insert. .

At the right moment, he passed the ball through to Lingard.

At the same time, Liverpool's defenders also fought hard to defend, running towards Lingard and blocking his shot.

But Lin Huang didn't shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, he just passed the football to the back point!

The football flew over the heads of three Liverpool players and into the space behind.

Fellaini stepped in from behind, and facing the ball from Lingard, he chose to head directly towards the top!

The football passed by Mignolet who rushed back in a hurry. Mignolet rushed towards the near corner, but the football flew from his feet into the far corner of the goal...

"Fellaini!! Manchester United took the lead again! Five minutes after Liverpool equalized the score, Manchester United scored again! It seems that Manchester United is bound to win this game at their home court! They must win! "

Just after equalizing the score, they conceded another goal, which will of course be a blow to Liverpool.

But none of Liverpool's players were frightened by this blow.

They still remember what Klopp said to them before the game: "...In my opinion, no one is indispensable to the team, because all of you are indispensable! We are one Overall, our ability to win the league championship and the Champions League last season did not rely on any one person, but on unity. So I made some adjustments to the lineup in this game, which means that I look down on Manchester United, and also It’s not that I want to give up the league. Because I believe in you, you are also Liverpool players!” These words gave the Liverpool players a lot of confidence and fighting spirit.

Lin Yi is of course the core of the team, but as the coach said, they are also Liverpool players, and they have also worked hard and sweat for Liverpool's championship.
If Lin Yi is the most shining figure at the top of the pyramid, then they are the cornerstones of the pyramid.Without them, the spire would not exist at all. What's the use of shining anymore?
This game is an opportunity for them to prove themselves.

Lin Yi did not start. If they really let Manchester United suppress it, wouldn't it mean that except Lin Yi, everyone else is useless?

Thinking about it this way, Liverpool, which was lagging behind, fought harder.

In the 307th minute, Salah switched to the right and passed the ball into Manchester United's penalty area.

Firmino jumped up in the penalty area to grab the spot, and the person competing with him was Manchester United defender Smalling.

But when Smalling jumped up to fight for the top, he raised his arm. It was this raised arm that hit the flying football!
"Handball!"

At the same time, Reva who was next to him also raised his arm to signal Smallin's handball!

The handball was very obvious, and there was no obstruction nearby. The referee was right next to him and could see it clearly.

He immediately blew the whistle to pause the game.

"Smolin had a handball during the aerial challenge... A penalty? Yes, it was a penalty! Liverpool got a penalty! 3 minutes after Manchester United scored, Liverpool got a penalty! What luck That's great!"

Smalling defended himself: "It was a hitter, I didn't mean it..."

The referee made a gesture of opening his arms to him, indicating that he had opened his arms just now. This is a very critical basis for the penalty.If he clamps his hands, even if the ball hits his hands, he will not be awarded a penalty kick, because the practice of clamping his arms can be said to be important evidence that the player subjectively does not have a penalty kick.This is why many players will put their hands behind their backs when defending a cross. Although it is difficult to maintain balance this way, at least they will not be hit by the football when their arms are raised to maintain balance, resulting in a penalty. The ball situation...

Slow motion was also replayed from multiple angles, proving that the referee's decision was correct.

If Smalling did not touch the football with this move, Firmino would hit the football. He hit the football near the penalty spot and would pose a great threat to Manchester United's goal.

Smalling's handball was too obvious and impossible to argue with.

Although the Manchester United players were a little depressed, they could not reverse the verdict.

I can only accept this penalty.

However, the Liverpool players were a little reluctant. Firmino approached the referee, hoping to give Smalling another yellow card.

But the referee shook his head and rejected the request.

It wasn't considered a deliberate handball in the first place. Giving a penalty kick would be fine, but asking for a yellow card would be too much...

The penalty that Liverpool won was handed over to Firmino to take the penalty. Firmino laid out the football and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

Then he started to run. When he kicked the football, his toes made a slight upward movement, and he picked up the football!
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea dived to the right, but Firmino kicked a penalty kick!
The football drew a parabola and flew into the goal from the middle!
"Firmino! Firmino!!! Beautiful spoon penalty! He equalized the score again for Liverpool!!"

When Firmino kicked the penalty kick into the goal, Liverpool's bench and coaching bench were once again jubilant.

"Being behind twice and equalizing twice, Liverpool performed very tenaciously in this game! Although Lin Yi did not start, Liverpool's fighting spirit has not been weakened..."

Firmino ended his celebration and as he walked back, he turned to look at the bench. He saw Lin Yi and waved his fist at him.

Lin Yi naturally saw Firmino's action and responded with a thumbs up.

Firmino was asking for credit from Lin Yi, and Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up to praise him.

The two friends just communicated through the air with tacit understanding.

Liverpool's morale was boosted by the equalizer. In the 40th minute, Reva almost helped the team overtake the score.

At that time, Reva successfully stole the ball in the frontcourt and got a chance to score a single goal, but De Gea struck out in time to block his shot from the bottom line.

Not long after, the first half of the game was over.

"...The first half of the game is over! Manchester United temporarily tied with Liverpool at home at 2:2! I'm afraid both teams are dissatisfied with this draw. So there will definitely be changes and adjustments in the second half. What we are most concerned about Yes...will Klopp let Lin Yi come on during the halftime break?"

Perhaps many Chinese fans hope that Lin Yi can play early, but Klopp has no intention of doing so.

During the halftime break, he praised all the players in the locker room and thought they performed very well, especially after falling behind twice and quickly equalizing the score.

Klopp encouraged his players to keep up their efforts in the second half and strive to win against their opponents.

After the second half started, neither team made any personnel adjustments.Lin Yi was still sitting on the bench and was not substituted.

This makes many Chinese fans feel disappointed and worried.

Of course I was disappointed that I couldn't watch Lin Yi's game, but I was worried that it was too dangerous for Klopp to play with fire. He didn't even let Lin Yi play in the second half, leaving Lin Yi with not enough time. If anything happened by then, , I'm afraid he is powerless if he wants Lin Yi to turn the tide...

After the second half of the game started, the two sides continued to tremble together.

In the 407th minute, Firmino kicked down Ashley Young and received a yellow card. In the second minute, Ashley Young also received a yellow card for fouling Firmino.

In 4 minutes, Martial took a long shot from 25 meters away from the goal, and the football was confiscated by Mignolet. Four minutes later, in the No. 4 minute, Martial took another long shot 60 meters away from the goal. As a result, the football missed the goal post...

With six and 10 minutes left in the game, Liverpool and Manchester United are still entangled, and the situation is still unclear.

At this time, Klopp finally decided to make the first substitution adjustment.

He asked the assistant coach to call Lin Yi back.

Lin Yi had been called to warm up a few minutes ago, but he did not go alone, but with other substitute players.

This kind of warm-up has no special significance. It is just to prevent the substitute players from having poor blood circulation and getting cold after sitting on the bench for a long time.
