Chapter 276: Violent, no-spin world wave!

"Although Liverpool made special defensive arrangements, they still paid the price of a yellow card!"

"And it was Van Dijk who got the card, which will have a huge impact on Liverpool's defense!"

"Now in the 30th minute of the game, Manchester United has 6 shots on target, while Liverpool has only 2. This data is the best proof."

"I have a feeling that Manchester United's goal won't be too far away and they should be able to take the lead in the first half."

Neville said with a solemn oath.

Although Liverpool's overall lineup has become almost complete after several waves of signings, the key lies in the lack of a core midfielder.

Most of the offense is created through counter-attacks.

But when Manchester United directly abandoned the midfield transition and directly held the ball through the inverted triangle in the frontcourt, Liverpool's high-pressure defense did not have much effect.

Klopp naturally discovered this problem and made some minor adjustments.

Mid-course interception!

Use positioning to limit Manchester United until the opportunity arises and then press.

At this time, the person who was holding the ball and advancing for Manchester United was Herrera.

Liverpool's formation suddenly changed from zone defense to man-to-man pressure!

As for the ultimate goal, force Manchester United to make mistakes!

Political Commissar E found that the forward passing route was blocked and he could only pass the ball back to Kante who was waiting behind him.

But Firmino was waiting for this opportunity! He fought back from behind and shouted to his teammates: "Sadio, help me!"

Mane next to him followed immediately.

Turning around and passing the ball back is definitely not an option, as if the ball is intercepted by Liverpool, he would be facing the back line directly.

The risk is too great.

In desperation, Kante could only look for Matic again.

Little did he know that his thoughts were all within Liverpool's calculations. Salah and Henderson immediately rushed over and double-teamed Matic from the front and back.

Faced with the pressure that had already taken shape, Matic couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

So I chose to drive forward.

But the overall position of Liverpool's defense, together with Fabinho, controlled the landing point and did not give Chu Feng any chance to grab the ball.

"Be careful of their counterattack!!!"

Chu Feng watched the ball being headed back by Fabinho and shouted loudly to his teammates in his own half.

It's just that his reminder was a little late.

Firmino retreated and stopped the ball steadily, then turned half way and passed it diagonally behind Matic.

"Liverpool's pressing paid off!"

"Salah, sprint!"

Carragher suddenly stood up from the bench and stared at Liverpool's No. 11.

At the same time, Liverpool fans in the away stands also burst into loud cheers!

Seeing Salah changing his route of attack, Maguire took the initiative to press, but unfortunately his kicking speed was too slow.

Salah dribbled the ball deftly and changed direction, cutting inside to the top of the penalty area.

It was another realistic fake shot and real pass, deceiving David Luiz and passing the ball directly to his left side, where a black lightning seemed to appear.

"Mane. Shot! Score!"

"pretty!"

"The Three Red Arrows, the most powerful trident!"

"What does it matter if Manchester United has a high ball possession rate and high number of shots? Facing Liverpool's multiple pressure tactics, it is useless!"

“Long live Gegenpressing!!!”

Carragher was spitting everywhere, and his eyes were full of provocation when he looked at Neville.

I told you to brag to me every day, why don't you brag now? Even though Salah's ability is not as good as Chu Feng's, we have the strongest trident in football, with a total value of more than 300 million.

No matter how good you are, can you fight three people alone? Neville curled his lips and remained silent, thinking that he never fights a battle against the wind, so he will let Carragher be arrogant for a while, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight back.

As for you, why do you want to ask him why he is so confident?

Manchester United have not lost a Red Devils derby since Chu joined the first team, and Neville has now become blind.

At this time, after scoring the goal, Mane ran wildly excitedly, ran to the Ferguson stand and pounded his chest hard, and showed the team logo to the Manchester United fans in the stands.

Yes, he was provocative.

"Damn Scousers!"

"asshole!"

"You deserve not to win the league championship!"

The die-hard Manchester United fans were really crazy and threw away all the Coke, coffee, beer, etc. that they hadn't touched.

Fortunately, the cups were made of soft plastic, otherwise Mane would have suffered a concussion.

Mane quickly stepped back, listening to the insults and taunts, but instead showed his white teeth and shouted at the top of his voice: "Even if we can't win the championship, we won't let you win it!!!"

As he spoke, he looked at the other side of the court and found that Chu Feng was communicating with his teammates and was not paying attention to his behavior.

He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

In the first Red Derby last season, he had a conflict with Chu Feng and had long wanted to slap Chu Feng in the face.

But the key is that there has been no chance. Seeing that Chu Feng did not show any disappointment on his face, Ma Nei felt more and more upset. He gritted his teeth and said to himself: "When we lose the game, I hope you can still be so calm."

This way.

"Klopp's tactics are indeed powerful, but the 433 formation has a natural disadvantage - that is, the single defensive midfielder."

Chu Feng thought to himself, and then said to his teammates: "Liverpool's pressure changes according to the position of the ball. The ultimate goal is either to force us to make mistakes or to make us pass the ball in the air passively."

“It’s not that you can’t pass the ball high in the air, but it has to land deep in the ground.”

Mourinho did not choose Mahrez to start today in order to increase the success rate of high ball competitions in the frontcourt.

As long as the pass can land at a later point, Manchester United can encircle Fabinho.

Isn't the opportunity here?

"Chu, I understand." Maguire shook his big head, his face full of enlightenment.

You should know that his long pass skills are quite good and he can be considered a ball-passing central defender.

"Don't dribble the ball!"

Chu Feng was very suspicious that Maguire might have misunderstood, so he warned him seriously as he could not be more serious.

Then he looked at De Gea: "David, pay attention to Harry and remind him in time."

"good!"

De Gea took a deep breath.

He has been cooperating well with Maguire recently, so the big man shouldn't have an attack of illness again.

After talking about the problems on the defensive end, what remains is the offensive end.

Chu Feng walked to Pogba's side and said, "Paul, when we attack later, you'd better retreat a little and see if you can distract Fabinho so that Marcus and I can use the space behind him."

Pogba thought for a while and nodded seriously.

He was quite aggressive some time ago, but after seeing Mourinho's methods, he immediately returned to his old self.

Also, during training the day before yesterday, Chu Feng also came to him and analyzed the pros and cons.

Pogba has a childish temper, but his IQ is not low.

If you continue to work without putting in effort.

Mourinho will definitely keep him out of the limelight. As for inciting his teammates to engage in palace fighting , don’t you see who is in the Manchester United dressing room now?

From the veterans of Valencia to the young players like Greenwood, as well as "outsiders" such as Maguire, there is no doubt that they all support Chu.

I can't make trouble even if I want to.

As if he felt that nodding was not enough, he said to Chu Feng seriously: "I understand."

Soon, the game resumed.

Manchester United began to consciously reduce ball possession because Mourinho found this to be a trap.

Klopp deliberately gave up the ball and then counter-attacked, which could minimize the impact of the lack of midfield organization, and the chance of pressing out was even more deadly! Manchester United itself is not good at controlling the ball, they are used to defensive counterattacks.

Since there are few opportunities in the front court, just increase the number of offense and defense transitions, and more opportunities will naturally appear!

Once again blocked by Fabinho and Van Dijk, Chu Feng slowly climbed up from the grass and looked down to see that his white shorts were stained green.

He didn't say anything, but quietly stood up and went into the penalty area, preparing for the next attack.

As the tactics continued to advance, he could clearly feel the intensity of Liverpool's defense, especially in the hinterland areas.

Although Fabinho is an excellent defensive midfielder, he is just one person at best.

Faced with Manchester United's multi-faceted siege, he began to feel a little overwhelmed and even lost his position, forcing him to commit a tactical foul.

If the referee was stricter, he would definitely get a yellow card.

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

"Equalize before the end of the first half!" Chu Feng shouted to his teammates.

Next.

Rashford's free kick went directly towards the goal, and it had the effect of an elevator ball, but the angle was not too tricky and was easily caught by Alisson.

Liverpool did not launch a fast break, but instead slowed down the tempo.

As the time was approaching 40 minutes, the most important thing now was to stabilize the score and bring the lead back to the halftime break.

Moreover, high-pressure pressing consumes a lot of physical energy, and Liverpool players are also very tired at this time.

But Manchester United would not agree.

The overall formation is about 20 meters long, using the advantage of numbers to occupy the midfield area and then continuously shift to the left and right flanks.

In this way.

Not only can it effectively avoid Liverpool's pressure and counter-attack in the middle position, but it can also effectively attack the weak defensive areas of the midfielder in the 433 formation.

There was no other way, the Liverpool players could only hold on and continue to grab the ball.

Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, crossed his arms and was not as anxious as expected. Instead, he said with a smile: "It's really easy to have a player who understands tactics!"

"Indeed, after all, they are the ones playing on the field and have a clearer understanding of the situation and circumstances." Faria echoed.

After saying this, he looked at Mourinho beside him, and couldn't help feeling a little more emotional.

What is different from before is that the boss has not only learned to delegate power in the locker room, but is also willing to give players more space.

For example, let Chu adjust his tactics on his own.

If Faria had seen this scene a few years ago, he would have thought he was dreaming.

But sometimes reality is just so outrageous.

"Don't think too bad of me!" Mourinho seemed to see Faria's thoughts. "The premise of delegating power is that the players have the ability. Before, whether it was Deco, Sneijder, or Lampard, I gave them freedom."

Take Lampard for example, he was originally a traditional English midfielder, but became Chelsea's top scorer.

Of course, this is due to his own level, but Mourinho is also a factor.

Faria was about to say it was still different, but suddenly he looked towards the field, pointed at Kante and shouted: "Front of the penalty area!!!"

There.

Pogba's continuously changing movements attracted Fabinho's attention.

Perhaps because the first half of the game was coming to an end, the Brazilian involuntarily relaxed his vigilance and subconsciously followed Pogba's movements.

This directly led to a gap in Liverpool's formation! Kante certainly couldn't hear Faria's voice, but he also found the gap and made a long pass without saying a word! Liverpool's two wingers wanted to move inward to intercept.

But Kante's passing route was very accurate, and the gap was indeed very large.

Chu Feng quickly turned around to observe.

Sure enough, Van Dijk and Matip had already rushed over, but he had no intention of turning around at all.

"Marcus!"

He passed the ball to Rashford with the outside of his right foot, then pretended to turn around and enter the penalty area to receive the ball.

This operation directly separated the two players. Matip pressed Rashford on the side, and Van Dijk intercepted Chu Feng's forward route.

But Chu Feng's figure suddenly stopped.

At the same time, Rashford made a light cross.

He had started playing football with Chu Feng since youth training, and had long since developed a unique tacit understanding between them.

"Don't retreat!"

Alisson roared hoarsely, his eyes full of tension.

This Van Dijk is good in every way, but he has one fatal flaw, that is, when defending, he always likes to retreat!

But actually.

When Chu Feng stopped, Van Dijk realized that he had been deceived, but inertia prevented him from turning around immediately.

I could only watch Chu Feng's pace adjustment before shooting was perfect, and his body posture was completely relaxed.

When the football rolled to his feet.

If he didn't shoot now, when would he shoot? He put his instep firmly into contact with the football, transferring all his strength to it! With a loud "bang", the football was violently deformed, causing a vortex structure of airflow to appear during the flight.

The specific effect is no rotation and irregular shaking.

In almost the blink of an eye, the football passed by Van Dijk and hit the net without stopping.

The huge force made the goal shake violently! Alisson finally reacted and mechanically turned his head to look at the football, his throat rolling uncontrollably.

If this really happened, my hand would probably be swollen, right? This is not an exaggeration, there are many examples in football.

For example, Smith's ankle was hit by a gunshot and broke directly due to the combined forces. Nearly 10 steel nails were implanted after the game.

Wow!!! The next second, the Manchester United fans at the scene began to cheer. The anger generated by Mane's provocation was all poured out at this moment! Moreover, this kind of unreasonable heavy artillery will accelerate the flow of blood as long as it sees it.

"World wave!"

"In the 44th minute of the first half, Chu helped Manchester United equalize the score!"

"Look, look, this is the world's best defender touted by Liverpool fans. When facing Chu, he could only keep retreating."

"If you like retreating so much, why don't you play goalie?!"

Neville immediately turned on the taunting mode.

On the green field.

After scoring the goal, Chu Feng did not provoke his opponent, but ran to the camera at the side of the court, bowed his head and kissed the team badge on his chest facing the camera.

When you score a goal against your sworn enemy with a violent shot in front of tens of thousands of fans, the feeling is indescribable . It's just excitement.

After finishing, Chu Feng closed his eyes and raised his hands, enjoying the cheers for him.

Although this action is very coquettish, it feels really good to do it.

The Manchester United players behind him were also crazy and slapped his back, which made a loud noise and turned a large area red.

Such goals are a great boost to morale.

However, the Liverpool players felt the opposite. Alisson held the ball and didn't know what to say. In the end, Henderson stood up.

"Don't look so depressed, just think of it as the game has just begun!"

"Next, stabilize your defense!"

Liverpool players recovered quickly because the intensity of the Manchester derby was enough to make people put aside other emotions.

In the few minutes that remained, all kinds of fierce confrontations occurred frequently.

The two teams almost had another conflict, so the referee simply didn't give too much extra time and blew the whistle to end the first half.

He also seriously warned the players of both teams to stay calm during the half-time break.
