Chapter 522

The referee blew his whistle and the first half was over.

2 to 0, this is the score of the first half.

Liverpool lead by two goals.

Although the game was suspended, the applause and cheers at Anfield did not stop.

Liverpool fans cheered excitedly, enjoying the joy of leading the score.

The Manchester United fans were also listless and quite dissatisfied with the score.

They have gone all the way this season and have a winning streak in the league until now.

He actually failed in front of Liverpool.

This is really hard for them to accept.

In the locker room, Mourinho looked at the frustrated players, but he did not reprimand them.

Instead, he pulled up a chair, sat down, and talked.

“We had some trouble in the first half and conceded two goals, which was really bad.

“But it’s not hopeless.

"Because I've seen the problems at Liverpool.

“They were looking forward to this game more than we were.

“I don’t know if any of you noticed Salah, but after he scored, he looked at me with quite contempt.

"You all know about my past with him at Chelsea, and I don't want to say more about it.

"You also know what Coutinho wants to do. He expects to score goals more than anyone else.
"If there is a possibility that Liverpool lose but he can score a hat-trick,

“I believe he would be open to that possibility.

"So Liverpool today also has a big problem.

“Also, they pressed hard throughout the first half, so there will definitely be physical problems in the second half!

“You know, most of their players played in the national team match last weekend and flew long distances!
“As long as we survive 60 minutes, it’s our turn to perform!

“But until then, we can’t concede any more goals!

"Boys, stay calm and come on!

“We will finally take three points here!

"We want everyone to understand,

"At Manchester United, there is no fucking goal drought!"

Mourinho's voice became louder and louder, and his last few words were deafening!
Manchester United players are also excited!

In the second half, go up and fuck them!
After a 15-minute break, the two sides returned to the field to fight again.

This time they did not make any substitutions.

For Manchester United, Mourinho compares Manchester United to the starting lineup.

Even if two goals were conceded, it could not be considered a mistake, it was just that the opponent's performance was too good.

As for Liverpool, the physical fitness of their players is indeed a big problem.

Therefore, it takes some time for players to adjust.

In the second half, Liverpool still adhered to the tactics of pressing the whole court.

But Manchester United still defended and looked for fast break opportunities.

However, these fast breaks failed to score a goal under the pressing pressure of the Liverpool people.

It seems that Manchester United's goal drought continues...

In the 63rd minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions.

Wijnaldum and Mane were replaced, Chamberlain and Sturridge came on as substitutes.

Mourinho's eyes lit up when he saw this substitution!
The opportunity is coming!

He looked in the direction of the court and Xia Xing in the center of the court.

At this time Xia Xing also looked at him.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison!

Onslaught, begin!
Among Liverpool's front three, the one Mourinho fears most is Mane.Compared to Salah's independence, Mane is more selfless.

Firmino is down-to-earth and steady, and so is Mane, but Mane has a lot more aura.

And he is also fast, dribbling well and shooting accurately.

In this Liverpool team, Mourinho prefers Mane.

Mourinho even imagined that if he were Klopp, he would definitely lift Mane up and make him the absolute core of the team's offense.

So Mane was off the field, and Mourinho was in a much better mood!

Sure enough, the next Liverpool attack ended with Salah beating two people in a row and then hitting high.

During the halftime break, Mourinho gave instructions to the players.

Facing Salah, use your body if you can. His physical fitness is average.

If you let him pass, push him toward the baseline or sideline.

Anyway, he doesn't like passing the ball that much. If it is blocked when the time comes, Liverpool's offensive opportunity will be gone.

Sure enough, both opportunities were lost because Salah was too independent.

Mourinho shrugged on the sidelines: "If Ronaldo or Messi had been in that position just now, I'm afraid we would have conceded the goal again."

Continuous attacks failed and there were few passes, which made Sturridge, who came off the bench, not perform well.

In this game, Liverpool did not know Salah alone.

The same goes for Coutinho.

Multiple chances in midfield ended with his shots.

Maybe he really thinks so in his heart - the team's victory is now far less important than his personal performance.

Time passed and the game reached 70 minutes.

Manchester United has just adjusted a position. Old captain Rooney came off the field and Lingard came on as a substitute.

The object armband was put on Xia Xing's arm again.

This seemed to be a landmark point. From this moment on, Manchester United's offense suddenly started!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Xia Xing suddenly made a long pass in the backcourt!
Liverpool's frontcourt press was suddenly empty!
Lingard, who had just come on, pulled in the frontcourt and attracted the defense!
The ball was firmly obtained by Rashford who advanced forward!

Dash with the ball!

Score the goal!
Take a volley from a close angle!

The ball crashed into the net!

2 is better than 1!

Manchester United pulled one back!
And this is just the beginning of Manchester United's counterattack!
In the 76th minute of the game, Lingard dribbled the ball forward and was brought down by Chamberlain who came on the bench.

Manchester United received a set piece in the frontcourt.

Xia Xing stood in front of the ball, looked at the defense in the penalty area, and made a special gesture.

Slowly retreat and cross the ball!
The ball went straight to the center of the penalty area!

Multiple players covered, and even Smalling rushed to the front spot!
However, Xia Xing's pass didn't find them!
Instead, it flies to the center of the penalty area!

Lukaku jumped high and headed back!

The ball quickly changed direction over his head and went straight into the far corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Karius had no time to react!
The ball crashed into the net!

2 is better than 2!

Manchester United equalized!

This goal is too crucial!

With the overall physical fitness of Liverpool players declining, they scored an important equalizing goal!
Xia Xing's passing was down to a millisecond!
Manchester United's two forwards have a big breakout!
Each scored a goal!
It's not over yet!
In the 81st minute of the game, Manchester United once again created a good opportunity!
This time it’s still Xia Xing’s performance!

On the left wing, he directly intercepted Salah who was sprinting forward!
Salah's physical fitness has declined, but he still wants to rely on personal dribbling to score goals!

As a result, Xia Xing cut him off immediately!
After stealing the ball, Xia Xing did not hesitate and sprinted directly with the ball!

Counterattack begins!
Many Manchester United offensive players accelerated their sprint!
The counterattack surged like a tidal wave!
Henderson attacks!
Xia Xing changed direction dexterously and accelerated faster than others!
Now Xia Xing's speed and physical fitness remain unchanged, which makes Liverpool's defensive players powerless!
Rush into the penalty area and shoot low into the far corner!
The ball rolls into the net!

3 is better than 2!

Manchester United overtook the score!
