Chapter 736 Mourinho VS Klopp

Salah's goal boosted Liverpool's morale, and they tried to continue to put pressure on Manchester United's goal.

Fabinho passed the ball to Henderson in the middle, and the latter tried to dribble past Kante. However, in the face of Kante's tough pressing, Fabinho's attempt to dribble failed, but Kante almost succeeded in counterattacking.

Henderson could only choose to hastily pass the ball to the left and found Mane.

As soon as Mane received the ball, he was hit from the side by someone. The Senegalese stumbled, but finally controlled the ball at his feet.

Mane continued to dribble the ball, and the man continued to entangle him relentlessly, as if he was vowing to bite Mane and not let go.

Mane knew who this was without looking up, this was Manchester United's right back Cancelo.

Mane guessed that maybe Manchester United coach Mourinho had assigned Cancelo the task of defending him, anyway, the Portuguese full-back kept pestering him today.

Cancelo's biggest feature is that he can run, his speed of returning to defense is very fast, and his ability to confront is not weak. Facing such a sticky man, Mane also felt quite uncomfortable.

"Cancelo entangled Mane. Although he staggered, Mane always controlled the ball under his feet. However, Cancelo entangled him like this, which made it difficult for Mane to speed up for a while."

Finally, Wijnaldum came to respond.

Mane pretended to pass to Wijnaldum, and Cancelo immediately moved his body to block the pass, but saw Mane dunk the ball back, turned half a turn on the spot, and knocked the ball horizontally to Fabinho who came to respond.

Fabinho just received the ball and was knocked to the ground by Kante, and the ball was also shoveled out of the sideline.

The referee Skomina blew the whistle in his mouth, and he called Kante for a foul on the tackle.

Kante was a little dissatisfied with the penalty, and he appealed to the referee, saying that his tackle was reasonable.

Skomina did not agree with the appeal of the Manchester United midfielder. Kante could only shake his head helplessly and leave. He already had a yellow card on him, so it was better not to argue too much with the referee.

Mourinho saw it clearly from the sidelines. Kante's tackle was very clean. He first tackled the ball, and then Fabinho was knocked to the ground by inertia.

Mourinho was a little unhappy and kept complaining from the sidelines: "Textbook tackle... Tsk tsk, they actually called us for a foul?"

The fourth official glanced at the madman and ignored his muttering.

………………

Liverpool's set piece.

After the ball was kicked out, it was headed out by the tall and strong Manchester United central defender Maguire, and then headed out of the sideline by Gundogan.

Liverpool's front court sideline ball.

Salah threw the sideline ball, Firmino came to receive the ball, but Manchester United's left back Luke Shaw was very fierce in the rush, and he shoveled the ball out of the sideline again, and Firmino also fell to the ground.

The Brazilian striker sat on the ground, spread his hands and yelled, indicating that Luke Shaw had committed a foul. However, this time the referee Skomina ignored him and indicated that there was no foul, it was a sideline ball.

This time it was Arnold who threw the sideline ball, and Salah did not stop the ball. He chose to pick the ball to Fabinho who came to receive it. However, this intention was too obvious, and Gundogan made a prediction in advance, and he pushed the ball away before Wijnaldum.

Kante squeezed Henderson away, he got the ball, and then quickly passed the ball to Luke Shaw.

Luke Shaw, who got the ball, launched a rapid assault along the left side.

Luke Shaw was very fast, and when this English hard-working man sprinted at full speed, there was an unstoppable momentum!

Robertson rushed up to intercept Luke Shaw.

Just when the two people were about to make contact, Luke Shaw swept the ball up.

Rashford, who had been following up, beautifully passed the ball and continued to dribble forward.

"Beautiful, Robertson defended two players alone, and he lost here."

Mourinho smiled on the sidelines. Rashford and Luke Shaw's wing was the scenery of Manchester United's fast attack. The two had a tacit understanding.

………………

Just now, Liverpool attacked. Now Manchester United counterattacked. Liverpool's full-back was broken through. This was very dangerous.

Rashford dribbled the ball quickly. After attracting Henderson to come to defend desperately, he sent a diagonal pass.

Mbappe, who was supposed to be on the right side of Manchester United, also moved to the left at this time. Manchester United's offensive players gathered on this side.

Mbappe took a few steps forward after receiving the ball, pretending to continue to go down the bottom, but suddenly cut inside and rushed into Liverpool's penalty area at full speed.

Matip had to give up defending Bruno. He rushed to Mbappe who was diagonally heading into the penalty area.

Mbappe stopped suddenly, pulled the ball back, and dodged Matip's grab. Then Mbappe calmly pushed the ball to the top of the penalty area, passing, getting rid of, and passing the ball, all in one go, as beautiful as a painting.

"Beautiful!" The commentator couldn't help but cheer for the young French player's passing.

At the top of the penalty area, Harry Kane, who had just withdrawn from the front of the goal, received the ball. He pulled the ball, adjusted it slightly, and then swung his right foot to shoot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc and swept towards Liverpool's goal!

Alisson tried his best to save this ball. He even felt that he could touch the ball, but the ball finally passed over Alisson's right hand, almost brushing the goalkeeper's fingertips, and finally swept directly into the net.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Harry Kane! Harry Kane! He pulled out of the penalty area and made a long shot on the penalty area line. A wonderful world wave!"

"Harry Kane scored at a critical moment. This is a goal that overtook the score again."

"3:2, Manchester United took the lead for the third time in this game!"

"A wonderful counterattack! A wonderful attack! A wonderful goal! Manchester United showed the world how powerful their offensive power is!"

"Gundogan steals, Kante passes, Luke Shaw and Mbappe break through on the wing, the French star sends a wonderful pass, Harry Kane scores, Manchester United's entire goal process is very exciting and beautiful! Manchester United played beautifully!"

Mourinho stood up from the coaching seat, raised his arms high, cheered for the goal, and then he was hugged by his assistants.

The entire Manchester United bench was also cheering, and everyone was excited about the goal!

Liverpool is indeed a respectable opponent, and they are indeed very tenacious. But, so what?

We took the lead twice, you equalized twice, so we will take the lead for the third time!

Harry Kane ran to celebrate, and then he was surrounded by his teammates, who threw him to the ground and celebrated excitedly.

………………

On the other side, Liverpool's players looked at this scene helplessly. They had played very well, falling behind twice, and both times they tenaciously equalized the score.

However, seeing Manchester United take the lead for the third time, they felt helpless and tired.

The director was very interesting. The broadcast camera first swept over Manchester United's coaching bench, and Mourinho and his assistants hugged and high-fived to celebrate. Then, the camera swept to Liverpool's coaching bench, and Klopp stood on the sidelines. The expression on the uncle's face was unprecedentedly serious.

His team performed well, but it was precisely because Liverpool performed well that Manchester United was still able to take the lead for the third time under such circumstances, which obviously brought great psychological pressure to Liverpool's players.

In fact, what is more interesting is not only the expressions of Mourinho and Klopp at the moment, but also the performance of the two leading the team in the final.

As the person who has won the most championships among the active head coaches, Mourinho can be called a winner in life.

According to statistics, this Portuguese madman who has won 38 championship trophies has participated in a total of 20 major cup finals (excluding cup competitions of the Super Cup nature) since his debut in Porto, and won 18 of them.

Especially after joining Manchester United, Mourinho has won eight consecutive victories in the previous eight major cup finals, including the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup in the 2016-2017 season, the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup in the 2017-2018 season, and the Club World Cup and FA Cup this season.

And today, Mourinho is likely to extend this record to nine consecutive wins!

In fact, the last time Mourinho lost in a major cup match was six years ago in the 2012-2013 season, when his Real Madrid faced Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the Spanish King's Cup. The two sides were tied 1:1 in 90 minutes, but Real Madrid was defeated by Atletico Madrid in overtime with a score of 1:2.

………………

It can be said that Mourinho is definitely the best coach in the world football finals and a famous winner in life!

And his opponent Klopp, the German coach, is one of the coaches who lost the most in the finals.

This season, "Uncle Zha" led Liverpool to a sudden rise and defeated various giants to enter the Champions League final. This is also the second time he has led the team to the Champions League final.

This is the seventh time he has led the team to the final, but he fell in the final six times before.

When he led Dortmund, Klopp had reached the final in the 2012-2013 season, but lost to Bayern 1:2; then he played in the German Cup final twice in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons.

When he came to the Premier League, luck was still not on his side. In the 2015-2016 season, he led Liverpool to the League Cup final, but eventually lost to Manchester City on penalties; then in the same season, he lost to Sevilla in the Europa League final.

In the Europa League last season, Klopp also led Liverpool to the final, but this time his team lost to Atletico Madrid led by another personality coach Simeone.

So winning the runner-up in 6 finals also made Klopp the new "second place in the millennium".
