Chapter 160 Arnold's Nightmare! (Fourth Update)

The football took off from the ground and flew towards the midfield.

Manchester United players quickly came out in full force and pushed forward. They had to press forward at this time to maintain the flexibility of the overall formation.

This maintains the most basic defensive strength.

Lukaku and Van Dijk quickly ran to the landing point and started a fierce competition.

The Dutch defender, who joined Liverpool in the winter window, showed his abilities. He was not at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation with Lukaku, and also had the advantage in the air.

Bang! The football was kicked back.

The situation on the green field returned to its previous state, but the two teams gradually became more and more angry and their actions became more and more violent.

However, the referee Craig Pawson of this game made a large penalty, and the Red Devils derby originally advocated confrontation, so he only made a few verbal warnings.

This made the players on both sides even more unscrupulous.

12th minute of the game.

Pogba knocked Milner down fiercely and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

"No matter what the opponent's position is, pass the ball to the left to Liverpool's No. 6!"

Lukaku

Mourinho gave the order while the ball was dead.

After this period of testing, he already knew the weaknesses of Liverpool's defense.

The central defender combination of Van Dijk and Lovren combines height, speed and flexibility.

The former is responsible for passing the ball, controlling the ball in the air and stealing the ball, while the latter is responsible for sweeping the ball from behind.

Among them, the one Manchester United needs to target is Lovren.

His lack of single-point pressure ability when stealing the ball is obvious. Lukaku is fully capable of gaining the upper hand when stealing the ball, establishing connections with nearby teammates and creating opportunities for Chu Feng and Lingard to threaten the goal.

As long as they can seize one opportunity, they will take the initiative in the game.

In fact, this was also a tactic arranged before the game, and Mourinho was just reminding the Manchester United players.

"Boss, I understand!"

Pogba nodded. In fact, he has a strong understanding of tactics, otherwise he would not be able to play in midfield.

After the game restarted.

Manchester United continued with their previous tactics and launched a high-intensity attack in the midfield.

Liverpool's weaknesses gradually emerged, including the lack of midfield organization due to Henderson's absence.

This is mainly reflected in the over-reliance on through balls to create opportunities, as well as the low rate of long pass transfer and lateral space circulation.

Just two minutes after Mourinho made the adjustment, the situation on the field changed drastically.

Arnold and Chamberlain cooperated with each other through the wall, and the latter took the opportunity to pass the ball directly into Manchester United's hinterland, looking for Firmino who was retreating to provide support.

But the intention of such a pass was too obvious, and Matic moved in advance to intercept it halfway, and then passed it to the right before Liverpool counterattacked.

Pogba looked up and stopped the ball half a meter in front of him.

Milner rushed up frantically, no matter what his opponent's intention was, he needed to interfere.

Pogba didn't seem to need any adjustment and kicked the ball directly into the lower middle part.

Who is the best long passer in football? Pirlo and Scossel are probably both good, and Pogba is a disciple of the two above.

The long diagonal pass has become his signature skill.

Bang! With a dull sound, the football took off like a cruise missile and flew accurately to the left side of the field.

Lukaku cleverly bypassed Van Dijk and ran directly in front of Lovren.

Due to his lack of lower limb strength, it is difficult for him to rush forward in the penalty area, but he has no problem staying in place and being a stick fighter.

Lovren tried his best but couldn't squeeze through and could only force a jump from behind.

The result is predictable.

Lukaku headed the ball to the right side.

at the same time.

A red lightning rushed out!

Manchester United No. 7!

Arnold tried his best to suppress the urge to move forward. He knew that Chu Feng's ball-stopping skills were very good and he could often stop and pass the defensive players.

So you have to wait patiently. After Chu Feng observed Arnold's actions, he subconsciously used reverse thinking.

How can we make Arnold steal the ball? The answer is simple! That is to make Arnold feel that he can steal the ball.

The offensive idea instantly became clear, and the body started moving accordingly.

After more than half a year of unremitting training, he can now stop the ball accurately whether using the inside of the foot, the outside of the foot or the toes.

But the next scene was surprising.

"Oops, there was a mistake in stopping the ball?"

"Stop a little wider!"

"Arnold's chance! Go!"

Carragher's commentary was rapid-fire without moving his upper lip to the lower lip.

This is a confrontation between two teams of talented youngsters. As long as Arnold can perform better in this game, he will be able to shine in the Premier League by stepping on Chu Feng's head.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Under the close watch of more than 50,000 fans.

Arnold couldn't help but move forward and quickly kicked out to steal the ball.

But the moment he stood firm.

Chu Feng seemed to have anticipated this. After stopping the ball, he immediately connected with the next technical move and completed the second touch of the ball at a faster frequency.

The right foot flicked outwards slightly! But it was this simple action that completely destroyed Arnold's defensive focus.

Deliberately stop and lure yourself into kicking?

This is too outrageous! Before he could figure out the key, Chu Feng rushed out like an arrow from a string, dribbling the ball straight into the penalty area.

Lukaku is still entangled with Lovren.

Liverpool had only one defender left.

"I'll do it!"

Van Dyke shouted and rushed along the shortest route.

The two had faced each other once before at the beginning of the season.

At that time, Van Dijk was still in Southampton. He believed that the reason for the failure of that game was the overall lack of strength of Southampton.

Now that I have come to Liverpool, I will never lose to them again.

Including this one-on-one situation! Van Dijk did not retreat conservatively. He knew that Lingard was advancing behind him and he had to destroy the ball as quickly as possible.

Fierce tackle! He swung his whole body sideways, expanding the ground defense area to the extreme.

Like an insurmountable iron wall! There is no space in two dimensions What about three dimensions? Chu Feng's thoughts were still running fast, but his body had already reacted.

The toes of the right foot suddenly lifted up, and the left foot slammed into the ground to use the force to jump up.

Snap! The football also jumped up lightly with a crisp sound.

The light in Van Dijk's vision dimmed instantly, and then was filled with a red figure, and he couldn't help feeling powerless.

How do people react in such a short time?

Van Dijk even had the urge to reach out and stop the ball, but he knew he couldn't, otherwise a red dot package would be waiting for him.

And he still had some luck.

What if Karius can block it? He turned around and stared at Chu Feng.

Land, adjust, push, score! Smooth as flowing water!

Karius made a symbolic save and then fell to the ground helplessly.

1-0!

Sorry, I can’t hold on any longer. I will post another chapter tomorrow. There will be six chapters tomorrow, no less.
