Chapter 1013: Similar Tactics and Different People
Lovren stepped back while moving in Salah's direction.
He doesn't dare to grab easily now, for fear of being passed; but he dare not stick to Salah with all his strength, and he is worried that Salah will pass the ball behind him.
You must know that both Griezmann and Salah behind them have only one teammate to mark. As long as the ball is passed, no matter who gets the ball, Manchester United has a great chance of scoring a goal!
At this time, Lovren hoped that Arnold, who had been passed just now, would quickly return to his position and help him defend.
But I didn't expect that Salah's speed of advancing with the ball is faster than Arnold's chasing speed...
Seeing that Salah was at the bottom line, Lovren gritted his teeth and fought hard!
He rushed straight up, trying to knock Salah out of the baseline with the ball.
But he didn't expect that Salah's body remained flexible when he was advancing at a high speed. He saw Lovren approaching him, and suddenly turned to the side of his body to pull the ball, and Lovren was passed!
"This is a great opportunity for Manchester United! Salah passed Arnold and went straight into the penalty area!"
"Lovren wanted to squeeze Salah away, but Salah suddenly pulled the ball in and Lovren was passed!"
"Salah looked at the positions of Griezmann and Mbappe, is he ready to pass?"
"Salah hit the goal directly! Volley from the close corner! Karius tried his best to block the ball, but he was still blasted by Salah!"
"1 to 0! Manchester United finally took the lead!"
"Now the game has progressed to the 62nd minute, the two teams have been deadlocked until now, and finally ushered in a goal. It is really not easy!"
"The goal just now, from Kante stealing the ball to passing the ball, from Salah's dribbling to shooting, the two of them used a few kicks to create a goal. Manchester United's counterattack is really unparalleled in the world. Top notch!"
After scoring this goal, the Manchester United fans who were watching the away game cheered loudly. For a while, the cheers of the Red Devils overwhelmed the dominant home Red Army fans.
At this time, the Manchester United coaching staff was completely at ease on the sidelines. After fighting for more than an hour, they finally scored.
Jin Taige smiled and applauded, this goal also relieved his hanging heart.
Although Manchester United has killed Liverpool three times this season, it is not easy to win three games. Even if the previous record is good, it still does not prove that there is hope for a steady win in this game.
Manchester United was satisfied with this goal, but Klopp was really disappointed.
Klopp originally thought that his team would be the first to get a good chance to counterattack, but he did not expect to fall short at the critical moment.
Klopp came to the sidelines and shouted at his players: "Guys, attack with all your strength and equalize the score as soon as possible!"
The Liverpool players on the field heard Klopp's words and immediately understood what the coach meant.
It seems that the head coach is asking us to press out and attack!
After the re-kick-off, the scene suddenly changed dramatically. The two teams are no longer obsessed with the entanglement in the midfield. Their respective styles of play are clear and clear, their offenses are orderly, and waves of offenses have been played one after another.
Klopp looked at the Manchester United players on the field. He always had a feeling that Manchester United's tactics were very similar to Liverpool's tactics. They are all looking for quick attacks, high pressing. However, on the basis of this tactic, Manchester United also added some elements of flying on both wings, and their full-back assists are also a major feature.
In fact, Klopp didn't know that Klopp's tactics did incorporate some of Klopp's style of play.
In the parallel world of later generations, Kintag has always admired the Liverpool team that has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years-of course, this is to exclude his own position of the Red Devils.
Therefore, in this life, Kintag fully integrated Klopp's high-position pressing tactics, and even the 4-3-3 formation style of play, absorbed a lot of the essence of Liverpool's tactics. Coupled with the fact that Manchester United has been flying on both wings and quick counterattacks in the Ferguson era, it has formed Manchester United's tactical play today.
This style of play has two biggest weaknesses.
The first weakness is the lack of wing defense.
For this, Kintag asked Kanter to defend in a large area to make up for it.
The second weakness is that it consumes a lot of physical energy for the players. This is solved by Kinteg through frequent and large-scale rotations.
On this basis, Manchester United can be invincible on all fronts and defend the honor of seven crowns.
In this game, when Manchester United and Liverpool each showed their full strength, Liverpool was compared again.
This is not only a question of tactics itself, but also has a great possibility to do with the players' personal abilities.
Klopp himself also understands that he always fantasizes: If he can give himself a few Manchester United players, then Liverpool will definitely have a different effect. Like Van Dijk, or Salah? Not to mention others, for example, if these two players can be given to Liverpool, then Liverpool can definitely wrestle with Manchester United and fight for the Premier League championship!
If Kintag from later generations knows Klopp's idea, will he have a little bit of sympathy...
Lao Tzu didn't bring Mane over, I've already done you a lot!
At this time, Mane created two consecutive chances on the left. Firmino in the middle struggled for the header, but under the defense of Van Dijk, he returned without success.
For a certain period of time, Firmino even pulled to the position of the front midfielder, just to avoid Van Dijk.
But if he leaves the penalty area, is there a better chance outside?
There is Kanter outside the penalty area, okay?
If you can't get a chance with Van Dijk, can you get a bargain with Kanter?
Van Dijk is known as the world's number one central defender, and Kanter is also known as the world's number one defensive midfielder!
Wave after wave of Liverpool's offense was terminated by Manchester United's defense, and they became more and more impatient.
And Liverpool's offense was suppressed, which meant that Manchester United's goal was about to come.
In the 68th minute of the game, Manchester United once again played a beautiful offensive.
This time is a good opportunity grabbed by midfielder Kroos. In the midfield fight, Kroos cut off Wijnaldum's short pass, and then passed directly to Mbappe on the right.
Mbappe made a beautiful change of direction, instantly swayed Liverpool left-back Robinson, and went directly to the edge of the penalty area. His pass near the baseline was delivered to Griezmann's feet in an inverted triangle at the edge of the penalty area. Griezmann Man calmly shot and the ball hit the net!
2 to 0! Manchester United expanded the score!
Now Klopp is completely anxious!
He sent Solanke and Danny Ings two strikers in a row, and let the offensive Lallana play. In this way, Liverpool's formation even became 2-4-4, with four strikers and Four attacking midfielders, let them put their eggs in one basket and prepare to give it a go!
