Chapter 161 Klopp's Heavy Metal Frenzy! (First Update)
Wow!!!
Old Trafford suddenly became noisy, and Manchester United fans stood up from their seats, setting off a red wave.
Especially that critical lob, any mistake in timing would make it difficult to succeed.
Of course, Manchester United fans don’t care what the process is like. As long as they can get the ball into Liverpool’s goal, it is the most wonderful goal.
After scoring the goal, Chu Feng was surrounded by his teammates, and they celebrated excitedly.
This goal was the result of a joint team effort, with Matic's steal, Pogba's long pass, Lukaku's pass and Chu Feng's goal.
Each link is indispensable.
The last time they visited Anfield, they were pinned down in the penalty area by Liverpool and it seemed they had no power to fight back.
But today they were able to seize a certain amount of ball possession and launch more threatening attacks.
The individual progress of each player promotes the improvement of the entire team.
Manchester United players could clearly feel the changes.
The Liverpool players not far away were disappointed for a moment, but quickly calmed down their negative emotions.
It was just a goal.
No reversal, no Red Army!
Liverpool has the reversal gene in its bones, and with the passion and enthusiasm that Klopp has injected into the team, they will not back down no matter what difficulties they face.
"Arnold, Chamberlain, pay attention to protecting the second point later, don't let Manchester United's No. 7 receive the ball easily."
"No matter how strong he is, he can't get the ball out of the double team."
Van Dijk pointed to the right rib area and spoke in a deep voice to the two men.
Although he has been with the team for a short time, he has become a core player in the back line and has taken on the responsibility of defensive command.
"Yeah." Arnold replied in a muffled voice.
He was still thinking about Chu Feng's "mistake" in stopping the ball, and always felt it was too unbelievable.
Both of them just turned 18, and both were promoted from the youth team to the first team . There are too many similarities, so Arnold couldn't help but compare himself with Chu Feng, but the more he compared, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Arnold shook his head vigorously to drive away the messy thoughts.
The next game will only become more difficult. We must be fully prepared and not always passively take the beating. We must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and make the most of our offensive advantages.
Klopp had the same idea. He walked to the side of the field, waved his arms, and yelled at the Liverpool players: "Increase the intensity of the pressure and attack on the right side, and force Manchester United's No. 7 back!"
Liverpool's right-side players Salah, Chamberlain and Arnold all have good mobility and the technical characteristics of being able to play both on the wing and in the middle.
As long as they can run, they can greatly improve the elasticity and vitality of the right side ribs, further improving the fluidity and pressure of the wing.
Simply put, it means attacking instead of defending.
He has coached Liverpool for two and a half years, gradually eliminating Rogers' shadow and shaping the team into a whole with his own style.
And what is Klopp's style? Heavy metal! Intense, fast and exciting.
Just like the strong body movements he is making now, it brings great confidence to Liverpool players.
In fact, part of the head coach's responsibility lies in this, they have to convey their emotions to the players on the field.
Whether it's anger, excitement or joy, they can improve players' execution.
Therefore, it is rare to see a "gentleman" head coach in the football world. Even the elegant and easy-going Wenger occasionally makes radical moves.
Mourinho next door did the same thing. He signaled the Manchester United players to withstand Liverpool's counterattack first, and then look for opportunities to attack.
Soon the game resumed.
Liverpool players launched a frantic and high-intensity attack.
Salah, Chamberlain and Arnold formed a flat triangle formation, forming a fast-advancing group.
Manchester United also adjusted its defensive focus, with Chu Feng retreating to the midfield to help his teammates build the defense.
The narrow right road suddenly became crowded.
23rd minute of the game.
Matic snatched the ball from Chamberlain's feet, and then it was snatched back by the crazy Arnold, who passed the ball directly along the sideline to Salah in the frontcourt.
Before the Egyptian Pharaoh could make any move, Ashley Young used his hands and feet to defend and kicked the ball away.
10 minutes later.
Chu Feng retreated to defend and snatched Salah's pass, and was immediately pressed by Chamberlain and Arnold, leaving him very little time to react.
He dribbled past Chamberlain with difficulty, and then got entangled with Arnold, and the ball kept bumping around and rolling out of the sideline.
The rest of the game was so chaotic.
Liverpool took the initiative to launch waves of chaos on the wing, using continuous high pressure and quick response to consume the physical energy of Manchester United's players on the left side, causing their concentration to continue to decline.
This is a test of patience.
At this time, in the Sky Sports commentary booth in the stands.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Although Liverpool are behind for the time being, it is only a matter of time before they equalize."
"Because it's rare for someone to not make mistakes under high-intensity pressure, and then Liverpool will have the opportunity to convert it into a goal."
Carragher has been silent for a long time since Manchester United scored, and now he finally found a suitable reason.
"I'll give you this too. With Chamberlain and Arnold's defensive skills, as long as Chu is given a little space, he will be able to break through on the wing."
Neville was not to be outdone.
"Haha, look at what Chu is doing now? He's still defending. He might as well play as a full-back."
"Klopp's tactics have achieved great results, which is to suppress Manchester United's left wing with continuous attacks and prevent them from organizing an offensive."
Carragher looked at the situation on the green field and analyzed confidently.
"Look at this attack. Chamberlain didn't stick to the wing, but passed the ball directly to the middle!"
"Emre Can's sudden forward run created a numerical advantage in the midfield, while Matic moved too far outside to protect the wing, weakening his connection with Pogba."
"A large gap appeared in Manchester United's hinterland!"
"Chance!"
Amid the cheers of Liverpool fans.
Emre Can dribbled the ball into the middle.
Since arriving at Liverpool, the German hunk has gradually been transformed into a jack-of-all-trades midfielder with outstanding skills in both offense and defense.
at the same time.
Firmino quickly retreated to respond.
Mane and Salah made diagonal runs into the penalty area.
After Emre Can made a gesture, he passed the ball forward with force.
David Luiz rushed forward decisively, trying to eliminate the threat outside the penalty area, but Firmino's move was so unexpected that he let the ball slip directly behind him.
David Luiz's vision was blocked and he had no time to intercept the ball.
He instantly realized that he had been deceived. Firmino's purpose was to pull himself out of the defense line and create space in the penalty area for his teammates.
It's too late for him to regret now.
The football rolled quickly along the grass to the left side of the penalty area.
