Fifteen minutes of the half-time break flew by, with Liverpool players in red shirts and Manchester United in blue returning to the pitch to prepare for the exciting second half.

There were no substitutions on the sidelines, and it can be seen that both Klopp and Mourinho were satisfied with their use in the first half.

“Beep~”

Anthony Taylor blew his whistle, and the atmosphere of the game erupted again over Anfield, shouting wave after wave.

Manchester United, who have the advantage of kick-off, have chosen to pass first in the midfield to open up the attacking formation.

Liverpool changed the Buddhist attack and defense in the second half of the first half, and suddenly stepped up the pressing, but fortunately Herrera reacted quickly and kicked the football towards the Liverpool half.

The landing point was not very good, Ibrahimovic gave up the starting jump after looking at the football, the football missed and was easily obtained by Karius after bouncing the ground.

Possession changed hands and Manchester United players returned to their own half.

Liverpool, who had home-field advantage, began to try to start on both wings, with Roberto Firmino and Sturridge in charge of the top, but they were not tall enough to grab the landing point in the combined defense of Bailly and Smalling.

Crosses don’t work, and Jurgen Klopp’s side activate Plan C, hoping to pull the United defence through the penetration of midfield, and then send a clever pass by Henderson or Philippe Coutinho to penetrate the Manchester United defence.

Many times the idea is too perfect, but it is a little difficult to implement.

Mourinho started defensively and played away, where dare to be too presumptuous?

It must be a priority to defend and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Marcus Rashford, the fastest in the team, started with Van Carrey in order to fight back!

Liverpool’s strengthening of attack can be described as the right thing.

Klopp keenly observed that Van Carrey was much more active than in the past, and the rate of return defense was extremely high, and several attempts to take advantage of the space behind Blind were stillborn by Van Carrey in advance.

Mourinho naturally also noticed Van Carrey’s aggressive defense, he is not as good to fool as Faria, and always feels that Van Carrey’s form today is a bit problematic.

So able to run!

In addition to the technical ability as always excellent, the running is simply two people with the past.

I don’t know if it’s self-comfort, he muttered: “I hope it’s really breaking through the limits of physical strength~”

※※※

Liverpool, which has strengthened their attack, has greatly improved in terms of possession, from a slight lead to 64 now, and it continues to improve.

Klopp is not happy about the improved numbers, but is full of concern.

A sustained attack will not lead to goals, and there is a high probability that goals will be conceded.

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, put this terrible thought behind him, then looked at the bench and shouted at Larana: “Adam, go warm up and come back in five minutes.” ”

Ten minutes into the second half, Mourinho realised the squad needed to make changes and Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata went to the warm-up zone.

This scene happened to be captured by the live director, New England sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: “Mourinho seems to be not very satisfied with Manchester United’s attacking state, Martial and Jesse Lingard can maintain the pressure on Liverpool on the wing, Rooney and Mata can strengthen the connection between the central midfield and the central midfield, who to replace?” ”

“aoaoaooooooo——”

Five minutes passed at a high level of competition, and Lallana arrived in the dugout to listen to Klopp’s explanation of tactics while changing into the jersey handed by the staff.

Liverpool were still organising the attack, Philippe Coutinho held the ball about 35 metres from goal in the middle, and the Manchester United defender did not give him another chance to get his feet in the face of having scored a spectacular world wave in this game.

Coutinho, who likes to shoot from distance, saw that the opportunity was not good, so he had to give it to Klein on the right wing, who kept the ball and crossed directly.

Both Philippe Coutinho and Mane were upset, with only the physically weak Sturic in the box, and the cross certainly not a threat.

Sure enough!

Smalling pushed the ball out of the box from the penalty spot, Fellaini headed a header in the arc of the penalty area, and the ball flew towards Pogba.

Emre Jen immediately pasted over and did not turn Pogba.

Pogba didn’t want to turn around at all, he stuck in position, backed Emre Jan, faced his baseline, raised his left foot, and the arch of his foot flew to the waist-high end of the football to the right.

The football flew towards left-back Blind, Emre Jen pushed with both hands, used the force of Pogba’s back feedback to turn another corner, and cooperated with Klein to press Blind.

Klopp, who was standing in the home coach’s command area, felt a strong sense of unease, and his heart clicked when he looked at Van Carrey who ran out of the void.

Almost at the same moment, Blind, who received the ball, stopped the ball, looked up to find Van Carrey, stepped forward with his right foot, and quickly pushed out a powerful low pass with his left foot.

The ball quickly rolled from the left side of the defense to the left rib against the ground, exactly in line with Van Carrey’s acceleration.

Klein was involved in the offense, not in position, and the extremely uneasy dragging midfielder Henderson went straight to the shot, not giving Van Carrey a charge.

His right hand tightly grabbed the shirt, and he didn’t know whether it was the poor quality of the jersey or the strength of Van Carrey’s forward thrust was too strong, and with a ‘hiss’, the blue number seven shirt was torn off a large piece of blue fabric.

At the same time, Van Carrey, who was trying to speed up, felt a resistance in front of him, and his upper body leaned back slightly, but the thrust that followed restored his center of gravity.

He has a very good balance, swings his arms quickly, adds another point of speed, and chases the ball at full speed.

Matip looked at the football closer to him, and did not pay attention to Van Carrey, who was running faster and faster, and chose to decisively fall to the ground and put the tackle.

Just finish the siege!

The incidental hurtful actions have nothing to do with me!

Van Carrey, who ran faster and faster, stretched his right foot during the run, and his toes picked up the ball rolling forward, and the right foot that landed used inertia to jump and jumped over the fallen Matip.

Matip didn’t expect Van Carrey’s movements to be so fast, so there were no additional moves, so Van Carrey jumped over easily.

Lovren is now panicking, his one-on-one defense is weak, his speed is slow, and he has no teammates around him.

Van Carrey is getting closer, and there is very little he can do.

“Foul!”

Klopp stood on the sidelines and roared madly, but the Anfield stadium burst into a loud boo, and his voice could not reach Lovren’s ears at all.

Van Carrey dribbled across the halfway line and rushed towards Lovren.

He didn’t use fancy dribbling maneuvers, and when the two were two meters left, the outside of his right foot pulled the ball to the right front.

Forced acceleration in disguise!

Speed is strong!

The weakness of Lovlen’s slow turning speed was infinitely magnified, and standing there was not much different from a stake, and Van Carrey flashed past him to complete the turn…

“Single knife!”

Kloop’s eyes closed in pain.

As soon as Karius wanted to strike, he saw Van Carrey adjust his steps, pick up his right foot forty meters from the goal, the football rose up across the sky, and he gave up the struggle standing on the line of the big penalty area…

“Goooooooooooooooal——”

The ball in mid-air crashed into the snow-white net along the parabola, and the iconic elongated voice of British Sky commentator Andy Gray resounded in the Anfield comment gallery.
