Chapter 312: Since there is no precedent in football, let us create it

Alisson is usually good-tempered and rarely scolds his teammates in public.

But Liverpool's defense during this period was really hard to control. How many effective shots did Manchester United have? Alisson punched the goal post: "If you can't defend them, then make a tactical foul decisively and don't let them shoot easily!"

He felt that Liverpool had some problems today, and it seemed to start with their decision to defend.

Every team has its own style.

If you deliberately try to imitate others, it will have a negative effect, just like Liverpool, which relies on high-pressure defense but insists on defending in the backcourt.

Isn't that missing the point? Henderson wiped the rain off his face and said, "My problem was that I was too focused on Manchester United's No. 7 and didn't pay attention to other players getting forward."

Manchester United used a 4-2-3-1 formation, and although they only replaced Rashford, the result was completely different.

Liverpool was unable to defend against multiple forward runs.

"Also the defense line should not be too far back. Manchester United's striker is not Chu, but the No. 10 Lukaku."

Van Dyke rubbed his brow.

Liverpool and Manchester United have played against each other so many times, and he has become accustomed to facing Chu Feng. Now that he is suddenly replaced by Lukaku, he is quite uncomfortable.

"What kind of threat can he pose?!"

Alisson was obviously a little bit broken, after all, he was shot at so many times. He pointed at Lukaku and said unhappily: "You need two or three people to defend him. The ball just now almost didn't go in! Just do the offside line well, and leave the rest to me!"

Alisson is not De Gea, who is used to standing near the goal line.

His grasp and judgment of the timing of attacking, the Premier League, no, the top three in Europe! According to the position of his own defensive players, he decides whether to attack, whether to attack in a large area or in a short distance?

Moreover, he has extremely high proficiency in both "side-down blocking" and "K-type blocking".

The success of Liverpool’s high-pressure pressing is inseparable from Alisson’s one-on-one skills.

"Look at my position later, create the offside line in advance, and then don't worry about Manchester United's No. 9."

Van Dyke nodded.

He also felt that it was a waste to devote too many defensive resources to Lukaku.

It’s not like Lukaku couldn’t understand English, but he just stood there silently, thinking it would be best if no one paid attention to him.

Isn't it just creating an offside line? Who doesn't know how to counter offside?

I just look stupid, but I'm worth 60 million euros, and people with big heads are generally smart.

It was only Chu Feng who didn’t know, otherwise he would have given a thumbs up and given Lukaku and Maguire a nickname - Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

Both of them have big heads and are of course very smart.

Liverpool has a strong ability to adjust on the spot. After determining the tactics, there is no hesitation and every player executes with full efficiency.

Otherwise, how could they win the Champions League in the original time and space?

“Liverpool changed the direction of attack and let Mane break through on the left, using his personal strength.”

"But isn't this a bit too much of a drain on your physical energy?"

Carragher left some words unsaid.

Liverpool's midfield lacks creativity and it is difficult for them to deliver threatening passes, the kind that De Bruyne uses to penetrate the defense.

So the frontcourt players can only do it themselves.

The consequence of this is that once the players are in poor form, Liverpool's offense will fall into a swamp.

Wan Bissaka didn't sleep well last night and faced Mane with trepidation.

It turns out Mane wasn't much better.

The Senegalese players have been rushing non-stop this season, and this style of play is very damaging to the body.

And since he has no injury immunity module, muscle strain is inevitable.

Even though he felt he was in good shape, his sprint speed and confrontation ability were declining, and it became more serious towards the end of the league.

Wan Bissaka seized the opportunity to kick the ball out of bounds without much effort.

"Hey, Manchester United did a good job defending today?"

“There was no urgency like in the first round, it felt very relaxed.”

Neville thought for a while and gave an answer: "It should be related to the league at the weekend. Manchester United played against Huddersfield and established a leading advantage early, while Liverpool played against Newcastle United. If it weren't for Origi's goal in the 86th minute, I'm afraid Liverpool really wouldn't have gotten the three points."

"Liverpool played with all their strength in that game, and even Salah hit his head and was diagnosed with a mild concussion."

"It's quite surprising that he was able to participate in the competition today."

Three games in just one week would seriously affect the condition of most players.

Logically, Klopp should have rotated the players, but he didn't expect Newcastle to be so tenacious.

They have already avoided relegation and there is no hope for European competitions.

Newcastle United's head coach is still Benítez, who coached Liverpool for six years! The man who led Liverpool to create the Istanbul Miracle! Isn't it right to let the game go? But who is Benítez? He is a "drug addict" in the football world. Someone once commented on Master Benítez like this.

Even if you lock up Master Bei and Kardashian for one night, Kardashian will learn how to play offside the next day.

Do you expect such a person to let go?

Besides, Master Bei's departure from Liverpool was not a pleasant one.

Liverpool's frontcourt attack has not yet ended. After a series of passes, the ball came to the feet of captain Henderson.

Henderson pulled the ball with his back and was about to turn around, but ended up bumping into Herrera.

The referee blew the whistle to signal a foul against Manchester United.

I thought it was an ordinary block, but Henderson was lying on the ground, holding his knee in pain.

"It's a bad thing. Henderson had problems with his cruciate ligament before. With the intensity and frequency of recent games, it is very likely to recur."

Carragher's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger.

Liverpool was originally leading by three goals and was sure to advance to the final, but everything that happened recently seemed to tell him so.

There's a change! Henderson limped off the field for inspection.

The game on the field was still going on, and Manchester United did not show sportsmanship and actively reduce the intensity of the attack just because Liverpool was missing a player.

Because that's part of the game of football.

It's just that Liverpool's counterattack was very resolute, especially in the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt. They don't have a creative midfield, but the engineer-type players are least afraid of running! In addition, Salah also took the initiative to retreat to defend.

Liverpool held on for five minutes until Henderson returned to the field. Wijnaldum had already changed his jersey, but Henderson said he could still hold on.

For Henderson, he originally liked Manchester United, but after coming to Liverpool, he fell in love with this club.

He recalled Gerrard's slip and mistake in the 2013-14 season.

The lonely figure left behind by Liverpool's No. 8.

He wants to protect Liverpool like Gerrard did, but doesn't want to let regrets linger in his life.

So he had to hold on.

"I'm sure I'm fine!"

Henderson left a word and returned to the field.

Although he can still feel pain, it does not affect his competitive state, otherwise he would not force himself to play.

He always puts the interests of the team first, and in this respect he is the same as Gerrard.

The situation became deadlocked again.

Liverpool's attack did not have much effect, but the pressing in the frontcourt also disrupted Manchester United's rhythm, making it difficult for them to organize an effective attack.

"Liverpool had a difficult five minutes, but they held their ground and didn't let Manchester United pose a threat easily!"

"Manchester United has experienced many miracles, but hasn't Liverpool experienced any?"

"The comeback from desperate situation in the 2005 Champions League final was an impossible reversal. Giving up is not in Liverpool's dictionary."

Carragher is proud to have played for Liverpool.

But playing three games a week is too exhausting for the players, and it is a fact that cannot be compensated by willpower.

As time went by, Manchester United gradually took control of the tempo.

The combination of three central midfielders played a very good effect. While they retreated to support their teammates and increase the control of the midfield, they also tacitly moved forward to create threats.

Arnold was having a hard time during this period.

He thought Chu Feng wanted to test his personal strength against him. Even if he was beaten badly by Chu Feng, he could still use tactical fouls to interrupt the rhythm.

But Chu Feng played tactics with him.

That kind of running with a macro intention must determine the optimal running route in the shortest time based on the positions of the players on both the offense and defense.

Chu Feng could indeed do it, but he couldn't do it! Arnold had the strength but couldn't use it.

Liverpool could only continue to strengthen their pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, forcing Manchester United to be unable to advance easily.

Under the extremely fierce physical confrontation, the physical strength of both sides was rapidly consumed until the 31st minute of the first half.

Liverpool's pressing intensity dropped.

This has led to Liverpool's midfield interception ability being weakened. Fabinho can strengthen the frontal interception, but the role of a single defensive midfielder is really limited.

Manchester United began to launch attacks continuously from near the center circle.

"Chu should retreat to support his teammates and then pass the ball to Pogba!"

"Turn around and get right behind Matip!"

"Why didn't Arnold follow up and was his attention attracted by Pogba?"

Pogba did not pass the ball directly, but passed it back first and made a wall pass with Matic.

It was this simple change in rhythm that prevented Liverpool's defense from reacting.

Arnold is still thinking about Manchester United's offensive intentions.

"Look behind you!"

Matip was so annoyed that he couldn't complain. Arnold's offensive ability was impeccable, but his defensive level was also terrible.

Arnold turned around belatedly.

Chu Feng was already advancing at high speed along the gap, and Pogba received the pass from Matic and sent a straight pass to Fabinho! An accurate straight pass! The ball passed in front of Henderson, and if it was a few centimeters behind, it would be blocked by Henderson.

Chu Feng hid behind Henderson and easily caught up with the football with an acceleration.

As Liverpool's overall defense line was forward, Chu Feng could directly threaten the penalty area. His dribbling speed soared and he instantly widened the distance between him and Matip.

He shot the ball to the far corner with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area! Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw the ball being saved by Alisson.

What a great opportunity!

If he could dunk the ball back, the chances of scoring might be greater.

But Alisson is really strong.

If it was Karius, the ball would probably have gone in.

Chu Feng shook his head vigorously, not thinking about those trivial things, and gave Pogba a thumbs up and praised: "This pass was just in time!"

Pogba grinned in response.

He felt more comfortable partnering with Chu Feng because their tacit cooperation and positioning could create endless possibilities in the midfield.

In fact, Manchester United's midfield configuration is not weak.

Matic, Eduardo and Pogba are all outstanding players in both offense and defense.

The game continues.

The situation on the field gradually turned in favor of Manchester United, and the exchanges off the field became intense.

"High pressure cannot be maintained all the time, and the players' physical fitness cannot bear it, but once we reduce the intensity of the press, Manchester United will increase their offensive strength."

The assistant coach was extremely worried.

Liverpool's current problem is that the midfield lacks creativity, resulting in a monotonous offensive approach and a lack of sufficient hierarchy.

The Red Arrows were not in good form today and were unable to put enough pressure on Manchester United's midfield and backcourt.

A substitution is inevitable! Klopp pointed at Origi and said, "Hurry up and warm up!"

Belgian Origi regained Klopp's trust in the middle and late stages of this season.

His shooting technique is very superb. Not only can he participate in fast breaks, but he can also suppress the opponent's defense and create opportunities for Salah and Mane.

This is something that the "organizing center" Firmino cannot do.

Besides, Firmino also has an injury, an old groin injury.

Nowadays, under high-frequency pressure, relapses will occur no matter how good the treatment is.

After all, this is the injury that professional players fear the most.

Klopp rubbed his temples and felt deeply powerless.

God never seems to favor Liverpool.

There is an old saying in football: "If you want to know how hard it is, think about Liverpool. If you want to know how sad it is, look at Bayern Munich."

Klopp feels that his life is also very hard.

During his coaching career, he led his team to the finals five times, but lost every time.

In stark contrast to Mourinho.

Liverpool's internal recruitment system actually relies entirely on a software called "Moneyball". Every player recruited will be put into the model for testing. If the test results do not meet the requirements of the analysis team, the result is that the deal will be cancelled. Do these keyboard warriors really understand football? If so.

There is no need to play a game, just simulate the data.

Klopp always believes that

What determines the outcome of the game is the wisdom, courage, perseverance and a little bit of inexplicable luck of the players and coaches.

"When there is a chance, try to take a long shot, move behind Manchester United's defense, and try to disconnect Manchester United's formation."

Klopp gave Origi serious instructions.

As long as there is a disconnect in Manchester United's formation, Salah and Mane will have space, and the difficulty of attacking will be greatly reduced.

Origi replied excitedly: "Yes, boss, I won't let you down!"

After the substitution, the game continued.

Origi played a good role when he came on the pitch. At least Maguire didn't dare to press too deep, and Liverpool also had a certain threat with headers.

After all, Firmino is really not as good as Origi in scoring goals.

Liverpool also slowly stabilized their defense.

In response to Chu Feng playing as a left midfielder, Liverpool increased their focus when retreating. They would deliberately leave a channel at the bottom of the outside line and concentrate their efforts on cutting off Chu Feng's route to cut inside.

This is because the Liverpool defense led by Van Dijk can deal with crosses from the wing better, while Henderson and Fabinho often lose control of the top of the penalty area when retreating quickly.

It is necessary to maintain the defensive density in front of the penalty area.

Before we knew it, it was the 40th minute of the game and the first half was coming to an end.

Manchester United wanted to score another goal before halftime so that they would not be under too much pressure in the second half and would not become too anxious and lose their composure.

It was still a pass-and-run combination on the strong side! Arnold did not lose focus again, and followed Chu Feng closely, not letting him out of his sight.

Chu Feng ignored it.

He specifically ran behind Fabinho and Henderson in order to create space on the wing.

Luke Shaw! Do you know the nickname of the fat guy? Shawberto Carlos!

At the right time for forward penetration, after crossing positions with Chu Feng, Mahrez immediately made a long pass.

The football spun and fell to the left.

Luke Shaw has broken his leg and is not as fast as before.

But the environment Chu Feng created for him was so comfortable.

Receiving the ball, dribbling, and going down the flank. While Luke Shaw was taking action, the Manchester United players were also not idle.

Chu Feng quickly entered the penalty area and found Lukaku, and the two stood together.

Pogba also rushed forward.

Mahrez was waiting outside the penalty area, ready to fight for the second point that might appear.

Liverpool has the strongest combination in the air.

But he still did not dare to be careless when facing Chu Feng. Van Dijk quickly approached and prevented Chu Feng from easily jumping to compete for the header.

But the next scene was beyond his expectations.

Chu Feng had no intention of grabbing the ball and simply passed the ball behind him.

It was Lukaku again! When Matip and Van Dijk were both tied up, the Belgian got a great opportunity. Robertson, who was competing with him, was only 178cm tall.

Manchester United fans held their breath nervously, fearing that it would affect Lukaku's movements.

Classic Belgian dunk!

The football changed its course and headed towards the goal.

But Alisson blocked it with both hands raised up, and the ball slid in the air and fell in front of Chu Feng.

Van Dijk also reacted instantly.

The two men touched the football almost at the same time. With two "bang" sounds, the football hit the crossbar and bounced towards the goal line, and was pressed under Alisson who was lying on the ground.

"Hey, this ball should have gone in, right?"

"From my perspective, the whole thing crossed the goal line!"

Neville shouted.

Carragher retorted angrily: "How is that possible? It was still a long way from the goal line. Even a blind man could see that it didn't go in!"

Chu Feng also looked at the referee.

After all, for such controversial issues, people have different positions and opinions.

The Champions League has a goal-line system, so just let the facts speak for themselves.

The Turkish referee Cakir crossed his arms, indicating that the ball had not crossed the goal line as a whole.

Chu Feng could only shrug helplessly.

He finally discovered that Anfield is poisonous, with either the goalpost or the crossbar hitting you.

Extremely unfriendly to yourself.

"It's okay, the tactics are effective, we will get in sooner or later!"

Chu Feng was not too disappointed, and he comforted his teammates loudly.

Luck is also part of the game.

According to the law of large numbers.

As the number of attacks increases, bad luck will be offset by unexpected good luck.

Maybe next time, the football will hit the crossbar and bounce into the goal.

Don't be too negative.

This is Chu Feng’s experience after his rebirth.

Alisson had no desire to reprimand his teammates. He knew that they had tried their best, but there was nothing they could do given the situation.

Now we can only hope that Liverpool can hold on to the end.

As Manchester United's attack ended, the first half of the game was nearing its end. After the regular time ended, the referee awarded three minutes of injury time, and the injury time passed quickly.

Beep-beep! After two short whistles, the halftime break began.

"Fortunately we scored a goal in the first half, otherwise there would be no hope."

Mahrez rinsed his mouth.

"Romelu, you are so tall but your heading skills are not that good," Maguire joked, "otherwise we would be two goals ahead."

Lukaku also tapped his forehead when he heard this.

He feels that he has similar technical characteristics to Ibrahimovic, with delicate footwork but not being good at heading.

But there was indeed a big problem with that ball just now.

It shouldn't be too difficult for a professional player to head the ball into a blind spot, right? But he headed towards Alisson . "Alisson is in really good form today. I didn't expect that." Chu Feng stepped forward to help Lukaku. "David, you have to work harder, or someone else will take away the Golden Glove!"

De Gea actually nodded.

"Alisson is really strong. His goal-line skills are slightly worse than mine, but his attacking and passing abilities are better than mine."

"But Alisson is not without weaknesses. If you look closely, you will find that he holds the ball a lot and makes mistakes easily when facing pressure."

Duck analyzed the situation very objectively.

Chu Feng took it seriously to heart.

Perhaps because he came from Serie A, Alisson's pace in handling the ball is a bit slow, or to put it bluntly, he is slow and sluggish.

If he could seize the opportunity to steal the ball, Chu Feng decided to give it a try in the second half. Maybe he could create a chance! After returning to the locker room.

Mourinho stood in front of the tactical board and said with a smile: "Everyone performed very well in the first half. Although we only scored one goal, the tactics preset before the game were basically achieved."

"Next, let's talk about how to play in the second half."

"Don't fight Liverpool in the midfield, shift the attack direction to the wing, divide Liverpool and compete with them in individual ability."

"Use a strong attack to completely crush Liverpool!"

“.”

Chu Feng and his teammates listened silently, feeling that their hopes of advancing were growing.

In the first round, Manchester United faced Liverpool, who were in great form, and Klopp's targeted tactics led to Manchester United losing by three goals at home.

But Liverpool doesn't have the energy to explode today.

The front trident led by Firmino can no longer rely on their excellent running and covering abilities to create deterrence and interference, limit the connection between Manchester United's midfield and backcourt players, and suppress their ball matrix in the backcourt.

Manchester United was able to suppress the opponent by relying on its midfield advantage.

Moreover, the no-fly zone set up by Van Dijk could not block Manchester United's air support channel.

Manchester United has the advantage both tactically and in terms of personnel.

At this time, in the home team's locker room.

"The frontcourt pressure must be maintained, the back line must also move forward, and the intensity of the pressing must be increased."

"Also, you don't need to go to the wings deliberately, you can occasionally make a long pass over the top."

"Manchester United's formation is relatively forward, leaving a lot of space behind them. As long as we can grab a little bit, we can pass it to form a secondary attack."

"Don't worry about the yellow cards. If we lose before the final, the yellow cards, red cards, etc. will be meaningless."

"You just need to have one idea - to do your best to beat Manchester United!"

Klopp took off his baseball cap and put it on the table, then slowly walked to the door of the locker room, opened it and pointed to a small room on the right.

It has a unique meaning for Liverpool.

Boot room

From Shankly to Paisley, to Fagan, and then to Dalglish, Liverpool's precious traditions and philosophy of victory have been passed down from generation to generation, and the Boot Room is the representative of Liverpool's tradition.

"I've talked enough about tactics before. Now I want to talk to you more."

"Bill Shankly once said many things, such as 'Football is not life or death, it is more important than life or death' and 'First is first and second is nothing'."

"When I was in charge of Liverpool, I had to face the glory of the club in the past. It was a bit suffocating for a while, but I can still draw nourishment from it."

"Do you know my biggest goal?"

Klopp closed the locker room door and looked at the Liverpool players.

He immediately gave the answer: "It turned doubters into the most loyal believers, rewritten all the suffering into a fairy tale, and left Liverpool with unforgettable memories."

"But I can't play, so I can only motivate you."

Klopp took off his glasses and put his hand to his ear. "Remember, when you feel tired, you can listen to the fans' singing."

"In the second half, I want to see 60,000 Liverpool fans celebrating wildly for you. Next season, I hope you can touch that sign with your own hands!"

Klopp's moving speech excited the Liverpool players.

Soon, the halftime break ended and the two teams returned to the tunnel.

This is Anfield!

Chu Feng looked up at the famous sign. It was said that the real sign was no longer there. It was bought by a bar owner and taken away to a faraway place.

Later it was even temporarily placed in the utility room until it was reinstalled in 2013.

According to Shankly, the meaning of this logo is: "It reminds our own players that they are playing for Liverpool; it also reminds the opponents that they are playing against Liverpool."

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

The first thing Klopp did after taking office was to ban players from touching the sign unless they could bring the championship trophy back to Liverpool.

"I hate coaches who pump themselves up!"

Chu Feng muttered in a low voice.

When the Liverpool players came on the field just now, he clearly felt something was wrong.

The morale of the Liverpool players was almost worn out in the first half, but Klopp managed to motivate them back. The second half was expected to be another tough struggle.

But if he really won easily, Chu Feng might feel uncomfortable.

Because he recognizes the strength of Liverpool.

"Through the wind, through the rain, your dreams may be shattered!"

"Keep going, keep going, keep the hope in your heart!"

"Because You'll Never Walk Alone!"

“.”

When the two teams walked out of the passage, the familiar melody sounded again.

This is Liverpool's team anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Whether Liverpool is leading, trailing or drawing on the field, whether the game has just begun or is about to end.

This song always echoes in every corner of the stadium.

For fans of other clubs, it seems difficult to understand that a song can have so much special meaning.

And in those glorious moments when Liverpool dominated England and Europe, this song was the perfect channel for fans to express their inner pride.

In the dark years after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, this song also provided the best comfort to those wounded hearts.

It has become an integral part of Liverpool.

Chu Feng faced the away stands and waved his arms vigorously, signaling the Manchester United fans to give it more support!

How could they be overwhelmed by their mortal enemy? But how could more than 2,000 Manchester United fans outnumber 60,000? Their voices were like stones dropped into the sea, not even causing a wave.

The Liverpool players' eyes were sharp and there seemed to be a fire in their chests, burning fiercely against the wind.

High spirits often allow people to perform better.

The Manchester United players did not back down. They gathered together, put their arms around their teammates' shoulders, and shouted "Come on" angrily.

The two teams changed sides in the second half!

Beep!!! A loud whistle sounded and Liverpool kicked the ball back.

Liverpool had no intention of testing the defense, and Fabinho made a long pass, with the target being Manchester United's backcourt.

Maguire seemed to be a little distracted and was intercepted by Origi.

The football flew towards Salah who was making a forward run.

He has long since gotten rid of the title of Egyptian Messi and is called the Egyptian Pharaoh by many fans.

He used his explosive power to seize the position, facing the football in mid-air, and shot directly! The football whizzed towards the lower right corner of the goal.

This level of shot did not threaten De Gea. He lowered his center of gravity and controlled the ball steadily with both hands, then threw the ball with force to find Matic on the right.

Liverpool's attack did not produce any effect, but it looked explosive on the scene.

It also caused cheers from Liverpool fans.

However, before they could enjoy it, Manchester United's quick counterattack came.

Matic is Mourinho's favorite, not only because he has excellent defensive ability, but also because Matic has a good control of the rhythm of offense and defense transition.

During his peak period in the 2014-15 season, he even had a chance to compete for the world's top midfielder berth.

Although the peak period has passed now.

But he also became more mature because of this, and he did not seek to kill with one blow.

The ball rolled towards Mahrez, who held off Robertson and passed the ball back. Matic moved to the opposite direction, which was in front of Chu Feng.

Two consecutive simple passes induced Liverpool to move.

After Chu Feng received the ball, he only had to face Arnold. He dribbled quickly towards Arnold, and Liverpool's No. 66 subconsciously stretched out his foot to steal the ball.

Snap, snap!

Two sounds of ball contact were heard.

Chu Feng knocked the ball with his right foot and flicked it with his left foot.

Kill Arnold with the ultimate silky fried meatballs.

"How can we prevent this?"

Arnold was helpless. He saw Chu Feng's intention, but his body couldn't keep up! His flexibility, explosive power, ball-touching texture, etc. were all maxed out.

This kind of striker is hard to guard against!

Arnold could only grit his teeth and chase back, but he ignored Chu Feng's strongest point.

speed!

In the entire Premier League, or even in Europe, there are probably no more than a handful of people who can match Chu Feng in short-distance bursts.

Or in other words, Chu Feng is the strongest.

Originally there was the soaring Bale, but he is suffering from a soleus muscle injury and no longer has the powerful explosive power he had before.

As the camera pans.

Arnold moves away from the picture and gradually disappears from the edge.

"Chu! Look at this speed, even Owen can't do it!"

"Even Giggs can't compare!"

"He's going to burst straight down the Liverpool wing!"

Neville yelled in excitement.

Liverpool fans opened their mouths wide and looked towards the field in disbelief.

Arnold is not slow, so why was he left behind? And the dribble he just took was so easy.

To put it bluntly, it's like crossing the road in the early morning. Chu Feng played as a center forward most of the time this season, but modern football is not like the 90s and 00s, where offensive players have enough space to attack.

Therefore, Chu Feng's speed advantage was not fully demonstrated.

Now that he has switched to the wing, the value of the Premier League's first 100-meter runner has been fully demonstrated! Matip can only step forward to clean up Arnold's ass.

After the extreme burst and sudden stop, it was difficult for the defensive players to react and Matip was shaken to the front.

The Cameroonian boy was in tears.

In fact, he has strong explosive power. After all, he has Cameroonian genes, just like his predecessor.

Cheetah - Eto'o.

The only player to win the treble with two clubs in two consecutive years.

But Matip still couldn't keep up with Chu Feng's rhythm.

After Chu Feng dodged the shooting angle, he shot without saying a word! A small trick to aim far and shoot near! But the next second, Chu Feng's eyes widened, and he saw Alisson make an accurate judgment and hold the ball in his arms.

Did Alisson cheat today?

Chu Feng thought the fake move was realistic enough, but Alisson still predicted it.

"Increase the pressure in the frontcourt and force Liverpool players to pass back."

He instructed his teammates, and then said to Lukaku: "Romelu, you go to the right later, leave the left to me."

Chu Feng wanted to try to steal one.

If he can really do that, Alisson will definitely collapse and it will be easier to play later.

According to Klopp's adjustments, the back line is indeed put on the front line, and Alisson is responsible for passing the ball to reduce the pressure on the backcourt.

Things often just happen by chance.

When Liverpool advanced from the backcourt, Chu Feng made a gesture and rushed forward, and the Manchester United players followed him and pressed frantically.

It’s the same old problem, Liverpool are all engineering midfielders.

Fabinho couldn't find the passing route, so he could only turn around and pass the ball back to Van Dijk.

And Lukaku is like a rhino.

Keep hitting Van Dijk and don't let him pass the ball easily.

"Give me!"

Alisson ran forward a few steps to support the ball, and Van Dijk did not hesitate at all.

Seeing this, Lukaku immediately changed his target.

Facing the pressure from Lukaku, Alisson was calm and pulled the ball back to avoid Lukaku.

He is Brazilian after all, and his footwork is not bad.

But Van Dijk shouted: "Hurry up and pass the ball--"

Alisson didn't hear clearly, but he saw clearly that Chu Feng attacked from the left!

It seemed like he could reach him in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Alisson realize that he had been too arrogant!

Whether to choose to kick the ball or control the ball, the former has a chance of hitting Chu Feng and then bouncing into the goal.

The Brazilian goalkeeper still decides to keep the ball!

He appeared to be posing with his feet kicked high, but in reality he was preparing to dunk the ball back.

But who is Chu Feng? As soon as he saw Alisson's change of center of gravity, he knew the Brazilian's true thoughts.

After all, these were all his leftovers! Chu Feng deliberately reserved a third of his strength, and at the moment when Alisson dunked the ball, his right foot stabbed out fiercely like a dagger! Snap! Listening to the crisp and pleasant sound of the ball, Alisson's mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Anfield also seemed to have fallen into silence.

Because the football was poked into the goal by Chu Feng.

After a brief silence, the Manchester United fans in the away stands burst into loud cheers!

They stood up with difficulty controlling their emotions, waving their scarves wildly! "Manchester United - Goal!!!"

"In the 59th minute of the game, Manchester United scored another goal. The goal was scored by - Chu!!!"

“This is an opportunity that is not an opportunity!”

"It could also be said to be Alisson's mistake. He stuck to the ball too much in front of the goal and was repeatedly pressured and pressed by Manchester United, and he eventually made a mistake!"

"His number of passes and success rate are indeed among the best, but it also lays the foundation for fatal mistakes."

"Liverpool had a similar situation before, but in the end Liverpool was lucky and the ball bounced out of the baseline."

"And today lady luck wasn't on Liverpool's side!"

Neville roared with his face flushed, while Carragher covered his face.

Why did such a low-level mistake happen?

All Liverpool fans were puzzled, wouldn't it have been better to just pass the ball earlier?

But in fact, this is also a tactical requirement.

When the opponent comes to press the goalkeeper, there will inevitably be gaps, and if the goalkeeper passes the ball, the team will gain an advantage.

It is essentially a relationship between risk and benefit.

Even the "gatekeeper" Neuer has made mistakes before.

On the green field.

Chu Feng ran towards the center circle with the football in his arms and raised a finger towards the camera! One goal left! You all said that Manchester United had no hope at all. In the Champions League, no team could come back from a 3-1 deficit at home and advance in an away game.

Then we will create it for you! Manchester United!!!

Manchester United!!!

Manchester United!!!

At this time, many bars in Manchester erupted in deafening cheers! Old Mike sat in the corner of the bar, where Chu Feng had sat before. He smelled the familiar smell of cigarettes, alcohol and sweat, and looked at the fans with bare arms, red faces and saliva flying all over the sky.

“We were like that in 1999.”

Old Mike picked up the beer glass, tilted his head back and took a big sip, then grinned, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth.

The outside of Anfield almost fell.

Manchester United fans who came from Manchester formed a huge square.

Under the protection of riot police, they taunted Liverpool fans crazily, completely venting their previous frustration.

"Our Manchester United No.7 is invisible? Yes, but he only needs a few seconds to destroy Anfield!"

"Ten years ago you mocked us and boasted about winning 18 league titles, then we did it in 2013. Now you want to show off your six Champions League trophies again? We can wait another ten years to see whose trophy room is more glorious!"

"You guys are the ones who want to get to the Champions League final by stepping on us. Don't cry if you lose tonight, it's like you did after the Manchester Canal was dug!"

"Manchester United must win!"

“.”

Manchester United fans taunted, Liverpool fans fought back, and conflict was naturally inevitable.

While the action is intense outside the court, it is also intense inside the court.

Chu Feng helped Liverpool put the ball away, tied the captain's armband tightly, and stood in his position.

After scoring two goals, is it still far to score three goals? At least Chu Feng saw more and more hope, and he believed that his teammates also had the same mentality.

"Tonight we will become Manchester United's heroes and create an unprecedented record. These guys will add their own touch to the history of the Red Devils!"

"Our team will never give up and our success will continue - this is the Manchester United legacy!"

"I am so proud to have been a member of Manchester United!"

Neville said loudly.

Carragher fell into silence for a long time, he knew that Liverpool was doomed.

But he still said: "There are still 30 minutes left in the game. Can Liverpool hold on to the end? I hope the boys will not be defeated."

"Coach Shankly once said: 'The greatest achievement of successful people is not that they are born successful, but their unwillingness to accept fate, their unwillingness to compromise, and their courage to fight regardless of the consequences!' The boys of Liverpool should and must have this courage."

Maybe it's prayer, maybe it's expectation.

Carragher doesn't want to see Liverpool players lose their fighting spirit, as that would make him feel worse than seeing Liverpool lose.

The Liverpool players on the field were affected by this goal, and Alisson even hung his head and remained silent.

He feels very guilty.

They performed well in the first 59 minutes, but made a mistake in those few seconds. These few seconds, so short that they could be ignored, were enough to destroy the efforts of all Liverpool players.

"There's no other honor, tradition, or bullshit reason!"

"I just don't want to lose to Manchester United. Why should we be the background while they can succeed?"

"I don't want to be a loser anymore, I want to play in the Champions League final!"

Van Dijk's emotions exploded at this moment. He shook his hands to vent his inner thoughts, "Do your best in the last 30 minutes. I don't care what the process is like, as long as there is a good result!"

Arnold also gritted his teeth.

He was so angry with Chu Feng that he had been holding a grudge in his heart for a long time.

"Fight Manchester United!"

Arnold yelled hysterically.

As the game entered the third stage, neither team held back any more strength.

Manchester United made substitutions.

Lukaku was replaced by Rashford, Luke Shaw was replaced by Ashley Young, and Herrera was replaced by McTominay.

All three substitutions were used up at once.

Mourinho glanced at Klopp and said confidently: "When Liverpool are used to defending the wing, I will switch Chu to the middle. Guess what the effect will be?"

Faria shook his head.

If he could guess, why would he still be an assistant coach? "Let's wait and see. Chu also needs to adjust well, otherwise he won't be of much use."

Mourinho had no answer.

On the Liverpool bench next door, Shaqiri and Wijnaldum replaced Robertson and Salah.

Both sides have revealed their cards. As for the outcome, Klopp opened a bottle of water, gulped it down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Manchester United kept pressing for 40 minutes. Our physical fitness has declined seriously, and they are not much better!"

"Remember, don't be passive in defense, start attacking!"

"The winners tonight can only be us!"

Wijnaldum nodded seriously.

After being substituted, Salah seemed to be dissatisfied and felt that he could continue playing.

At least he shouldn't be replaced now.

Klopp was in no mood to appease him, his eyes were always on the field.

Beep!!! The third whistle sounded, announcing the restart of the game and the final battle! Chu Feng immediately rushed over to press.

Although he was very tired at the moment, he was under the influence of adrenaline.

The whole person was in an excited state! The other Manchester United players were the same, they all thought that they were only one goal away from advancing to the Champions League final and making new history!

It was already difficult for Liverpool's midfield to pass the ball, and it became even more difficult under pressure.

It was difficult to pass the ball.

Mane volleyed the ball to Origi. The Belgian striker has great ambitions to defeat Lukaku and seize the starting position in the national team.

This game is the best stage.

Origi withstood Maguire's collision, unloaded the ball in front of him and shot with all his strength!

But Liverpool has an excellent goalkeeper, and Manchester United's goalkeeper is not inferior in any way. He was also the Premier League Golden Glove winner last season.

De Gea jumped lightly and took the football steadily!

As the pace of attack and defense quickened, the intensity of the confrontation also increased. In less than fifteen minutes, three yellow cards were issued.

Matic from Manchester United, Fabinho and Milner from Liverpool.

Liverpool is still at a disadvantage, but there is something even more uncomfortable - that is Chu Feng's return as center forward.

This made Arnold very uncomfortable.

He always looked at Chu Feng out of habit, and always wanted to follow in to defend Chu Feng.

Then Rashford will be so happy!

Chu Feng almost tortured Arnold to death, so could he just come up and pass it casually? The facts also proved his idea.

Arnold received the pass from Alisson, but made a low-level mistake. The pass was too weak and was intercepted by McArthur.

Rashford made a straight pass! Rashford expended his energy wantonly, squeezed Arnold behind him and easily controlled the ball, and then burst into the Liverpool penalty area at a high speed.

"Manchester United's left-wing attack is still so sharp!"

“It’s beautiful!”

Neville stepped on a chair to get a better look.

Arnold on the other side tried his best to chase back and finally caught up with Rashford, but Rashford suddenly came to an emergency stop.

Matip subconsciously went forward to make up for the defense, but Van Dijk's voice suddenly rang out.

"Watch out behind you!!!"

After Chu Feng returned to playing as a center forward, he lay in ambush near Matip. He knew that the Cameroonian was more likely to make mistakes than Van Dijk.

Sure enough, he found an opportunity! Rashford picked up the ball and Chu Feng stepped forward to meet it.

Van Dijk knew that Matip would not return to defend, so he rushed towards Chu Feng as fast as he could, not giving him space to shoot! Chu Feng quickly raised his head and observed his surroundings.

Wijnaldum marked Mahrez and Fabinho marked Pogba, leaving Manchester United with no free man in the frontcourt.

He can only do it himself!

He leaned back towards Van Dijk and stopped the ball lightly with his left foot.

Then use your core strength to swing your left foot!

Everyone knows that Chu Feng's shot is very violent . Van Dijk quickly moved sideways to block it.

The camera also moved sideways at this moment, as if thinking that Chu Feng was going to shoot.

However.

In the area at the edge of the screen, he dunked the ball with his left foot and turned 180 degrees, and then took another step sideways with his right foot! Any close defense will be affected by fake moves.

No matter how strong Van Dijk is, this is no exception.

Cruyff turns around!

A perfect combination of feints, speed and flexibility.

It was so fast that the fans couldn't see it clearly, but Alisson, because of the distance, could see every move of Chu Feng clearly.

Van Dijk wanted to twist and grab the ball again.

But Chu Feng's lead after turning around completely extinguished his hopes.

Finally, Van Dijk fell to the ground helplessly.

Under the bright spotlights of Anfield, Manchester United's No. 7 seemed to be dancing in the penalty area.

The fans instantly felt it.

This instinct that unites man and football is an art that can penetrate all barriers, showing infinite tension in the finite! This is the football that only Chu can play!

Adjust, kick, shoot. Alisson fell to the ground very quickly, but his hand was still far away from the football.

The football brushed the right goal post and rolled into the goal.

0:3!!!
