Chapter 244 That is the absolute ability to destroy the opponent's defense system!

After Chu Feng heard the whistle, he relaxed and adjusted his breathing rhythm.

He played very hard in the first half. Due to the incomplete transition in the midfield, he had to run frequently and move out of position to support his teammates.

But it will also bring the problem of no one suppressing Liverpool's defense.

He had thought about using his personal ability to force a breakthrough, but Liverpool's high-pressure defense, coupled with tough physical confrontation, made it difficult for him to complete consecutive passes.

After all, he is just a player, not a god.

The Manchester United players were also exhausted and quickly walked towards the player tunnel, taking the time to rest and adjust.

Mourinho and Klopp actually started arguing on the sidelines. The content of the dispute was naturally the missed penalty kick, but each of them had his own reasons and no one could convince the other.

"Martin! My player obviously completed the turn and was closer to the football. If being knocked down like this doesn't count as a penalty, then I can only doubt your law enforcement skills!"

Mourinho's tone was not polite at all.

Atkinson did not explain, but warned seriously: "If you question my judgment, you can appeal to the FA after the game, but in today's game, I still have the final say!"

"If you want to insult a referee, I think you'll be sent to the stands soon!"

Mourinho couldn't hold it in anymore and started to criticize on the spot.

Seeing this, Faria and other assistant coaches quickly used their hands and feet to pull Mourinho back.

If the head coach goes to the stands during the game, then the next tactical adjustment may have to be made by Faria.

"Boss, hold on! Hold on!"

Faria doesn't think he can take on Mourinho's responsibilities, and if he loses the game, he will have to take the blame.

After returning to the locker room.

Mourinho tried his best to control his emotions and began to review the first half of the game.

"Liverpool's frontcourt pressing and tackling are very good, and the key is the coordination between the players."

"So we have to play harder and break up the rhythm of the game!"

"Then find an opportunity to attack from the chaos!"

“.”

Chu Feng looked at the flags on the tactical board and began to deduce in his mind.

According to Mourinho, it can indeed reduce the pressure on defense, but it will also hinder the offense.

This is not the best approach.

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment before trying to say, "Boss, I have an idea. I wonder if I should tell you or not?"

"Just say whatever you want, don't feel pressured." Mourinho nodded.

After the locker room conflicts at Real Madrid and Chelsea, he gradually learned to listen to the players' ideas and was no longer as stubborn as before.

Besides, Chu Feng is now the connection hub between himself and the locker room.

"The individual strength of our two wingers is definitely stronger than that of Wijnaldum and Naby Keita, so it is better to give them more freedom and use offense to contain offense."

"Let Liverpool be like us in the first half, with a disconnect between the forward line and the midfield and backcourt."

"In order to keep their formation intact, Liverpool's defense will definitely move forward, exposing the space behind them."

Chu Feng quickly walked to the tactical board and adjusted the positions of several flags.

As Chu Feng explained, Pogba's expression became more and more excited, because this was the tactical positioning he had when he was at Juventus.

But after returning to Manchester United, he was burdened with defensive shackles.

Mourinho stroked his chin and thought seriously. Chu Feng's tactical thinking should be effective.

Not only can it minimize the harm of Pogba's weak defense, but also holding the ball more on the wing, even if it is a bit slow, can often help regulate the rhythm of the attack.

As long as they can create a breakthrough, they can face Liverpool's defense directly and connect their forward line with the midfield.

"Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka, you need to reduce the number of forward runs."

"Matic, pay attention to counter-attacking on the spot and be decisive in committing fouls."

Mourinho was determined.

"Chu, don't worry! I won't let you down!" Pogba whispered to Chu Feng.

"Me too!" Kovacic nodded vigorously.

Inside the home team's locker room.

"If you want to be part of a club that's really passionate about it, where you can really be involved from the inside and not just from the outside, then you have to be part of Liverpool.

"You have to give your all on the pitch and give your all for Liverpool!"

"As much as we hate to admit it, we're playing against probably the best team in the world, they won the Champions League and the Premier League last season!"

"But because of this, as long as we can beat them, it proves that we are the best!"

Klopp's speaking ability is at the highest level. His passionate words and body movements give every player a boost.

Fifteen minutes later.

Liverpool players walked out shouting, and Manchester United players were also very excited.

Amid the loud cheers at Anfield, the referee blew the whistle and the second half officially began! Liverpool had the ball! Firmino kicked the ball back.

Liverpool made a simple pass in the backcourt and quickly launched a fierce attack.

Klopp is not a believer of 1-0-ism. Besides, facing Manchester United, with whom they have a century-long feud, Liverpool cannot defend utilitarianally. What they need is a complete and overwhelming victory!

“Allez Allez Allez!”

Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans shouted in unison, cheering for the Red Army players on the green field.

Facing Liverpool's overwhelming offensive, Manchester United could only compress their formation and passively defend, following the tactics formulated during the halftime break, looking for loopholes in Liverpool's frontcourt pass.

After a series of passes, the ball came to Wijnaldum's feet.

He wanted to connect with Salah in front of him, but found that Luke Shaw was hiding behind Salah, ready to steal the ball the moment he passed the ball.

So he chose to cut to the middle.

However, the dense defense caused the space to be severely compressed, and Pogba and Matic worked together to press.

Wijnaldum could only choose to pass the ball hastily.

"Maguire's timing was perfect, leaving no chance for Firmino to receive the ball!"

"Go straight to Kovacic on the right!"

Manchester United switched from defense to offense in an instant!

Although Naby Keita's defensive level is not as good as Fabinho's, he is good at high pressure and sudden steals. He is a typical black and tough player.

How will Kovacic respond?

As Modric's successor, Kovacic, who came out of Linz, also has strong abilities of instant acceleration and evasion.

The whole person rushed out like an arrow from a bow, and passed Naby Keita! According to Manchester United's adjustment during the halftime break, Kovacic did not pass the ball easily, but waited for the other Liverpool players to counter-rob, thus creating space for his teammates to use.

Fabinho rushed over from the side! "Pogba went straight into Liverpool's territory, and Fabinho made up for the gap!"

"Manchester United had planned this long ago!"

"Kovacic really passed the ball to that space!"

Chu Feng immediately rushed forward to the right side of the penalty area, which was the space behind Van Dijk.

His intention is very clear, do you want to follow him?

Van Dijk did not hesitate at all, half turned and followed up quickly. In Manchester United's offensive system, Chu Feng is the most important point and must not be allowed to play freely.

For this reason, he would rather give up the space in front of the penalty area.

"Lovren, you go forward!" While guarding Chu Feng, Van Dijk did not forget to remind his teammates.

Seeing that there was space for shooting, Pogba kicked the ball without saying a word!

BANG!!! The football hit Lovren's calf, changed direction, and rolled out of the baseline!

"Well done! Just kick like that! Get excited!"

Chu Feng waved vigorously at his teammates.

Facts have proved that Manchester United's tactics are effective. All they need to do now is to execute them resolutely and they will always find opportunities to equalize the score.

"come on!"

The Manchester United players shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Manchester United's momentum is rising!"

"That's how it is on the football field. Maybe just a beautiful attack or defense can arouse the emotions of the players!"

"From the attack just now, we can see that Xiaochu put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's defense."

"Come and see Manchester United's corner kick opportunity!"

Zhan Jun's melodious voice rang out.

Although he is a die-hard Liverpool fan, he also hopes to see Chu Feng perform well.

Mahrez saw Chu Feng’s gesture and decisively kicked the ball forward.

Chu Feng pretended to move backwards, but actually rushed forward, catching Van Dijk off guard and taking advantage of his leading position.

He jumped high and looked back at the moon! Anfield was instantly filled with exclamations.

The football hit the top of the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

Chu Feng shook his arms in annoyance. It seemed that his luck was particularly bad today as he had missed the door several times in a row.

But as long as the game is not over, it means there is still a chance.

Next, Manchester United gradually found the rhythm of attack, using the strong breakthrough ability of the wingers to frequently connect with the two wingers.

Chu Feng was wandering in Liverpool's defense, using his movement to interfere with Van Dijk and Lovren, making it impossible for them to support their teammates on both sides.

Liverpool fans were surprised to find that Manchester United actually took the advantage and planned several threatening attacks in succession.

"Manchester United's attack direction is opposite to Chu's running direction, so only one person can limit him!" Klopp could no longer sit still, walked to the coach's command area, waving his arms and yelling.

If this continues, Liverpool's defense will collapse sooner or later.

"Alexander, go warm up!"

After Klopp gave the order, he looked at Arnold and said.

"Yes, boss!" Arnold immediately put on his vest and ran excitedly to the warm-up area.

He has waited for too long for today, but unfortunately he didn't start. Now he finally has the chance for revenge!

Mourinho next to him had a serious expression on his face. He had a longer-term tactical vision than Chu Feng, so he discovered that the prerequisite for Manchester United's tactics to be effective was that Liverpool continued to maintain pressure in the frontcourt.

But the question is, will Klopp do it? Obviously not.

As the game entered the 60th minute, Liverpool's formation suddenly compressed backwards and built a complete defensive chain in their own half.

Although the high-pressure tactics are easy to use, they have inevitable problems.

That is, in the 65th minute, the players were unable to maintain the intensity of the pressure in the frontcourt due to a significant decline in physical fitness.

Therefore, most teams will turn into low defense in advance, and then use the accumulated energy to rush again before the end of the game! Liverpool is no exception.

Manchester United's offensive suddenly came to a standstill. Even if the two wings could break through with the help of their personal abilities, it was difficult to find a suitable passing route.

The Manchester United players became more and more anxious, and their movements became uncontrollably larger.

In the 67th minute of the game, after Pogba passed Wijnaldum, Fabinho nearby took the opportunity to steal the ball.

Pogba forcibly pulled down Fabinho.

Atkinson may have realized that the game was getting out of control, so he changed the penalty and issued a yellow card.

The Manchester United players were naturally unhappy and gathered around to seek an explanation.

Chu Feng reached out to stop his furious teammate and communicated with the referee as the captain.

But Atkinson still didn't change his mind.

"It's so fucking frustrating!" Chu Feng couldn't help but curse, and then shouted to his teammates: "Go back to your positions!"

73rd minute of the game.

Kovacic made a long pass from the right side, Chu Feng forced Lovren away to get the ball, but was grabbed by Lovren's shoulder and fell.

Atkinson did not deviate from the whistle again and also showed a yellow card.

"Before the free kick, Liverpool made an adjustment, Arnold replaced Clyne, Shaqiri replaced Naby Keita."

"Klopp hasn't given up the attack yet?"

"He's planning to go big in the final stages of the game!"

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

"Let's take a look at Manchester United's free kick first. It's not easy to shoot because the distance to the goal is too close. Besides, Xiao Chu has used such a trick before, Liverpool will definitely be prepared!"

"Xiao Chu was just feinting, Rashford kicked out an elevator ball!"

"Oops, the force is too strong, I just masturbated!"

The cheers at Anfield were getting louder and louder, and Liverpool fans had even seen the dawn of victory.

Before Liverpool recovered, they launched a crazy high-pressure defense and did not hesitate to use physical confrontation.

The sudden change in rhythm caught Manchester United players off guard.

At the critical moment, Pogba was too sticky to the ball and was intercepted by Wijnaldum, who then passed the ball directly to the side.

Arnold accelerated and sped along the sideline!

After playing for nearly 80 minutes, Luke Shaw's physical strength had already reached its limit and he could no longer keep up with Arnold.

Ferguson in the stands closed his eyes.

Because Arnold's grandmother was his first love, but she later dumped him and went to New York to get married.

"Dorine, I didn't expect that after all these years, I still couldn't escape from your clutches."

Amid the deafening cheers of Liverpool fans, Arnold quickly closed the distance with Manchester United's penalty area. He looked up at the black and gold trident in front of him and found that they all seemed to be exhausted.

So he decided to do it himself. He wanted to be the hero of Anfield and score the decisive goal!

The speed increased again and rushed towards Maguire diagonally.

Bulky and slow are the labels of this big-headed defender, and Arnold needs to use speed to break through.

But he suddenly discovered.

Maguire does not seem to be as weak as imagined, especially in frontal defense, he is as stable as can be.

When he tried to break through from the outside, Maguire directly confronted him.

Arnold felt like he was hit by an aircraft carrier. He couldn't keep his balance at all. He fell to the ground and shot the ball to the right side of the goal!

"Beautiful! De Gea!"

"A classic left-foot block that kept the ball out of the baseline!"

"Liverpool's attack isn't over yet!"

Most of the Liverpool players rushed into the penalty area, but Van Dijk stood in the center circle to guard against Manchester United's quick counterattack.

Arnold suddenly walked into the field from the corner area, and it seemed that someone else was going to pass the ball.

The Manchester United players immediately relaxed their vigilance, but Chu Feng immediately realized that something was wrong.

Arnold has always been petty, so he shouted at Maguire: "Harry, turn back!!!"

As expected.

Arnold quickly ran back to the corner area and passed the ball directly to the front point.

Maguire turned around in horror, quickly blocked Firmino, and headed the ball out of the penalty area!

"Liverpool's sneak attack failed! The counter-attack in the frontcourt was fierce!"

"Matic! Pass the ball before being knocked down by Fabinho! Kovacic!"

"Kovacic passes the ball without stopping!"

"Beautiful! The football has landed at Chu Feng's feet!"

Van Dijk retreated without saying a word, and Chu Feng took the ball and ran at full speed! He ran away and he chased, but he couldn't escape! In the eyes of the fans, the distance between the two became closer and closer.

Van Dijk put his hands behind his back and stared at Chu Feng's eyes, putting pressure on him both physically and mentally! No matter how amazing your dribbling skills are, or how invincible your passing skills are, or how explosive your physical fitness is.

He only compresses the space for the opponent to move forward with the ball, waits for the football to enter his interception range, and then completes the steal with precise kicks.

This is his unique defensive art! Chu Feng still maintains precise steps, constantly testing Van Dijk's center of gravity!

He never underestimates any opponent, so he studied Van Dijk carefully before the game and took three full pages of notes, just like when he first debuted.

Van Dijk's defense is very unique. He will not keep a distance from the player with the ball, but retreat at a speed lower than the speed at which the player with the ball advances.

This has the effect of compressing the space.

But if he could break that balance point, he could directly disrupt Van Dijk's retreating rhythm.

Then Van Dijk's defense will not pose any threat.

You just need to control the football perfectly and combine it with your explosive power to seize that momentary opportunity!

So Chu Feng suddenly moved!

The center of gravity swings left and right over a large range, like an unstoppable pendulum, bringing unprecedented impact to people.

Van Dijk couldn't tell Chu Feng's intention to break through.

But he can compress Chu Feng's ball-holding space by adjusting his retreat speed.

Left, right, left Simple movements with a silky touch of the ball, the running seems to contain a unique rhythm, perfectly combining speed and strength.

Everyone stared intently, afraid of missing the next scene.

Van Dijk's rhythm became more and more obscure, as if it was assimilated by Chu Feng's pendulum.

The next second, Chu Feng suddenly rushed forward and seized the perfect opportunity! Van Dijk's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly stretched out his right leg! His steal was also impeccable!

But a crisp sound rang in his ears, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Chu Feng was able to complete a second touch of the ball while sprinting at full speed?

Van Dijk suppressed the urge to foul.

Unlike the time when Lovren knocked down Chu Feng, he would definitely not escape the red card.

If he was sent off the field, Liverpool's defensive strength would be reduced by half. Who could still limit Chu Feng?

Van Dijk could only watch Chu Feng pass by him.

Chu Feng breathed heavily like a bellows . The previous burst put too much pressure on his body, and even he found it difficult to do it continuously.

But the effect is also very good.

Directly destroyed Liverpool's defensive system.

The only person standing in his way is Alisson, his opponent in last season's Champions League semi-finals.

Alisson is panicking!

When he was in Rome, he was almost shot into a sieve by Chu Feng. He thought that transferring to Liverpool and having stronger teammates would be better, but who would have thought that even Van Dijk couldn't defend against Chu Feng?

His Adam's apple kept rolling as he stared at Chu Feng's right foot.

Liverpool fans in the stands also clasped their hands together, praying that the goddess of luck would help them again.

After quickly adjusting his shooting pace, Chu Feng simply changed the rhythm, tricked Alisson's center of gravity, and then shot with his left foot to the left side of the goal.

Bang! The football spun, flew, and fell with the sound of the ball hitting the ground, and flew into Liverpool's goal.

"Xiao Chu!"

"CHU!"

The same name was heard repeatedly in the commentary booth, followed by shouts of extreme excitement.

“The ball goes in!!!”

“Goal!!!”

"In the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United equalized the score!"

"Chu Feng dribbled past Van Dijk in a one-on-one match and shot into the goal against Alisson!"

"He keeps Manchester United's hopes of victory alive!"

"So what if Liverpool led for 65 minutes? Heaven and hell are often just a moment away!"

"Manchester United only took one counterattack opportunity to destroy Liverpool's defensive system!"

"I don't know if you, Van Dijk, are the best defender, but I know you can't defend against our Manchester United No. 7!"

Neville stepped on the table and roared until his face turned red.

He found the feeling he had on the court at this moment. They were the same at that time. Even if they were in desperate situations, they would never give up as long as the whistle did not sound!

There are so many miracles in the world, aren't they all achieved by people's efforts? "Come on, Manchester United boys!!!"

"Damn Liverpool!"

Neville took off his jersey and waved it vigorously towards the field.

Carragher hasn't recovered yet, his eyes are dull and lifeless, his mind is full of that powerful breakthrough.

"Fuck, this kid is too damn strong, right? If he had left a few years later, he might have been able to become a champion!"

Rooney muttered to himself.

Gerard next to him remained silent.

Amid the crazy roar of Manchester United fans, Chu Feng ran wildly against the cold wind, jumped high and punched the air! He seemed to want to smash the obstacles in front of him! Only after becoming the captain did he understand what the armband meant.

It's not about leading the team onto the field and exchanging pennants with the other team.

It is not a superficial honorary title, nor does it mean that you are the best player in the team.

It should represent the core of the team's mental will. When things are not going well, you have to be the first to stand up.

Chu Feng kept waving his fists to vent the huge pressure in his heart! He wanted to tell Ibrahimovic and Valencia that he should be a qualified captain.

The rest of the Manchester United players also gathered around.

"Chu, well done!"

"It has to be you!"

Chu Feng's black hair was suddenly messed up, but the smile on his face was very bright, "The game is not over yet. If we can tie the game, we can also overtake it!"

"Yes, we can overtake!"

Maguire said confidently.

The Liverpool players not far away fell silent. Van Dijk seemed to be still thinking about why he was dribbled past, while Arnold covered his head with his hands in regret.

If I hadn't been so clever, perhaps Manchester United's counterattack wouldn't have been possible at all.
