Chapter 499: Complete Victory

After scoring the goal, Mbappe rushed to Bruno excitedly, hugged him with both hands, and lifted him up by the waist.

After landing, the two rushed to the sidelines excitedly and celebrated the goal.

Although Manchester United's attack in the second half was not in the area where Manchester United fans were, but in the Dalglish stand where Liverpool diehard fans gathered. But this did not affect Manchester United's celebration, even though Liverpool fans were waving their claws and spitting foul language at them not far away from them.

"Bruno's performance was so outstanding that most of the credit for this goal came from him."

"Especially the imaginative heel pass just now. We even have to wonder if he has eyes on the back of his head. Otherwise, how could he know that Mbappe was advancing?"

"Moreover, we have to admire Bruno's creativity. He is obviously very clear about the characteristics of his teammates. Mbappe got rid of Moreno as soon as he accelerated. The speed of the Spanish defender is still slightly lacking."

"It can be said that although Mbappe scored this goal for Manchester United, Bruno made great contributions."

The boos at Anfield were deafening, but this had no effect on Manchester United players. They celebrated the goal wantonly under the eyes of their mortal enemy fans.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to Liverpool. After the second half, Manchester United obviously played more actively."

"Klopp should perhaps consider adjusting the team's tactical play and appropriately strengthening the offense."

………………

Klopp has not made any adjustments yet, but Mourinho quickly made substitutions.

Herrera replaced Rashford, and Manchester United changed to 4312 and began to focus on defensive counterattacks.

This adjustment made Liverpool very angry: it was simply useless, and they retreated after scoring a goal!

After falling behind by one goal, the Reds began to counterattack. But Liverpool's attack never reached Manchester United's penalty area. The most threatening one was in the 62nd minute, when Salah made a cross from the right side of Liverpool, but Firmino, who was responding at the back point, ran over and missed the ball.

This coordination error also reflected the anxious mentality of Liverpool players.

Subsequently, Klopp replaced Salah with Chamberlain, and then replaced Coutinho with Sturridge, obviously to strengthen the team's offensive.

Once the Reds launched an offensive, Manchester United was still very dangerous.

In the 83rd minute, Bruno retreated to defend and directly knocked down Henderson who was dribbling the ball, giving Liverpool a free kick more than 30 meters away, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium booed Bruno.

Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with Bruno's turn.

After all, Henderson suddenly dribbled forward and disrupted Manchester United's defense. If Bruno had not committed a foul in time, Liverpool might have had a chance.

………………

Afterwards, Liverpool continued to strengthen their offensive, and Klopp replaced Firmino with young player Solanke, intending to further strengthen the attack.

But Manchester United deliberately slowed down the pace, and Moreno also replaced Valencia with Lindelof, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack steadily.

When the game time reached the 88th minute, Liverpool once again entered Manchester United's penalty area and got a corner kick opportunity.

Liverpool sent a corner kick, creating chaos in the penalty area, but in the end the ball failed to enter the goal. Instead, it was received by Bruno in front of the baseline, and a long pass was made to the vicinity of the center line, accurately finding the player who stayed in front of his side.

Harry Kane retreated to defend, but Mbappe still stayed in the frontcourt. When Van Dijk made a long pass, Mbappe kept predicting the ball's landing point, and took the most advantageous position before Moreno, blocking Liverpool's left back behind.

Moreno is shorter than Bruno, only 1.71 meters tall. Although he has excellent physical fitness, he already has a yellow card. At this time, he had to consider that if he directly confronted Mbappe, it would be dangerous if he got another card. So Moreno's strategy was to block Mbappe behind him and not give him a chance to turn around.

And Mbappe obviously also expected the opponent's idea. When the football flew over, he took a step forward and headed the ball. The ball was touched by his head and immediately changed direction, while Mbappe turned around quickly.

………………

Moreno's reaction speed is not slow, but he is passive after all. When Mbappe turned around and started, he realized that he had to turn around.

At this time, he thought about reaching out and pulling Mbappe down directly, but he considered that he had a yellow card and his teammate Gomez was behind him, so he finally chose not to foul, but to quickly catch up with Mbappe.

Mbappe's dribbling speed was very fast, and each step was very big, rushing towards Liverpool's goal at a very fast speed.

Gomez also chased back all the way, trying to intercept Mbappe at the front of the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Mbappe suddenly slowed down, making Gomez mistakenly think that he was going to kick the ball directly, and immediately slowed down.

But soon, Gomez realized that he had been fooled. Because when he slowed down, Mbappe suddenly accelerated again, and immediately shook him off and rushed into the penalty area. Facing Mignolet, who was guarding the goal line and dared not attack, a calm volley once again penetrated Liverpool's goal.

2:0!

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALL!!!!!"

"In the 89th minute, Manchester United scored another victory!"

"A long-distance run from No. 7 player Mbappe, a very, very wonderful goal!"

"Mbappe broke through two Liverpool defenders by himself, and finally calmly scored against the goalkeeper!"

"Manchester United took advantage of a corner kick from Liverpool and quickly counterattacked."

"The French winger is really a natural for big scenes. In the double red match that attracted worldwide attention, he scored twice to help Manchester United temporarily lead Liverpool."

"When the summer transfer window was about to close, Manchester United spent a whopping £100 million to sign the talented French winger from Monaco, setting a transfer record for young players under the age of 20."

"At that time, many people questioned whether the deal was worthwhile, and even thought that the French forward would become the biggest parallel import in history. After all, Mbappe was only an 18-year-old young man and had only one season of highlight performance in Monaco. However, coming to Manchester United , it took him less than two months to let Manchester United fans all over the world see his abilities!"

"He made everyone clearly realize again that he still has endless potential!"

The Anfield stadium was completely silent, and the Liverpool fans were somewhat brain-stopped by this sudden change. After all, they were still besieging Manchester United a moment ago, so why did their team concede another goal in the blink of an eye?

After scoring the goal, Mbappe rushed all the way to the corner flag area, slid to his knees in front of the fans of his rival Liverpool, and opened his arms unscrupulously.

This is what he wants!

Not only does he want to lead Manchester United to win, he also wants to let the whole of Europe and even the world see his strength!

He wants the whole of Europe and even the world to know that Manchester United not only has Bruno Fernandez, not only Harry Kane, but also him - Kylian Mbappe!

………………

"We made several serious mistakes!"

At the post-match press conference, when Liverpool head coach Klopp was interviewed by the media, he looked very lonely when summarizing the game that had just ended, because his team had just lost.

0:2, international practice, the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.

Although he replaced an entire striker in the second half and tried to score goals by strengthening the offense, it had no effect.

Although Liverpool suppressed Manchester United in the penalty area in the last few minutes, their defense was very solid. The twin towers composed of Maguire and Van Dijk stopped Liverpool's offensive.

Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield thanks to Kylian Mbappe's brace.

However, the best player in this game was not the young Mbappe, but Bruno. Because not only did he provide two assists, he also performed extremely well on both ends of Manchester United's offense and defense.

When answering reporters' questions, Klopp said that the team's biggest problem is that there have been too many mistakes. This is Liverpool's most serious problem so far this season, and it is also very inappropriate.

"In this high-level game, you can't make mistakes, but unfortunately, we made more than one serious defensive error, which caused us to suffer a painful blow and ultimately lost the game."

………………

Klopp believes that Manchester United's defense did a good job in this game. It was difficult for Liverpool to find a breakthrough. Although the ball possession rate was high, it did not have more effective ball possession than Manchester United; there were many shots, but in fact there were more It still comes from long shots, and there are not many opportunities to kick in the penalty area that are truly threatening.

"From the perspective of the entire game, our time of possession was much higher than that of our opponents. We were obviously better and took the initiative in the game, but our conversion rate of possession was not effective enough. We gave our opponents offense The pressure is not strong enough.”

"To put it simply, we need to make ourselves more aggressive and more concise and efficient."

But Klopp also admitted that this is a problem that Liverpool has had this season, but he does not think this has anything to do with the team's poor recruitment.

Klopp believes that his team has shooters such as Salah, Firmino, Mane, Sturridge, and Solanke on the front line, and also has Coutinho, Henderson, Victoria in the midfield. Nardum and Emre Can and other generals, and the back line also has strong players such as Matip, Lovren, Moreno and Gomez. This is a very competitive lineup.
