'Manchester United equalised...... The situation of the game became confusing...... There are opportunities for both sides. As Louis van Gaal said before the game, the duel between Manchester United and Liverpool has always been very intense, and it is not something that can be reflected in the standings. ”

After his side's equaliser, Louis van Gaal celebrated wildly on the sidelines, shouting and hugging those around him.

As Manchester United manager, Louis van Gaal is under a lot of pressure.

In the 2013-2014 season before Louis van Gaal's arrival, David Moyes' Manchester United had a terrible record, finishing seventh in the league, winning no domestic cup competitions and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the season since Louis van Gaal's arrival, Manchester United have improved their league record and are currently fifth in the league, just one point behind fourth-placed Arsenal and have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League in fourth place at the end of the season.

In terms of purely competitive results, Van Gaal has done a decent job, at least better than his predecessor.

However, as the regular king of the Premier League for all these years, Manchester United fans and Manchester media are naturally harsh, and they are not happy with Manchester United under Louis van Gaal.

……

In the post-Ferguson era, Manchester United have not been able to establish a style of play of their own. Having experienced David Moyes's "Manchester Crossing United" during his tenure, both the Manchester media and Manchester United fans will want to see Louis van Gaal build a new tactical system in the team.

However, a season on, Van Gaal has not brought a set of fixed and efficient tactical systems to the team, and the media and fans often only hear him say "we have to keep the ball at our feet".

There is nothing wrong with emphasizing the concept of possession, but Louis van Gaal's Manchester United could not create a threat when they had empty possession, and the ball could not be passed into the penalty area, so they could only make senseless inversions in the central midfield.

In today's game, Manchester United performed better than before, and in the eyes of commentators and reporters in the media seats, Manchester United today is more aggressive and has more courage to move forward.

Mata's goal just now showed this better, with Wayne Rooney's ball, Herrera's through ball and Mata's movement all in perfect harmony.

That's why Louis van Gaal is so excited.

This is what Louis van Gaal dreams of and plans for Manchester United's attacking tactics and system.

Previously, when Jiang Chenxi scored to help Liverpool take the lead in the score, Van Gaal was impatient, but he didn't show it, just stared at the field with an expressionless face, in fact, Van Gaal's heart was nervous, if this game was lost again, and the season was killed by Liverpool, then the pressure on Van Gaal's shoulders would be unprecedented, not to mention, if this game is lost, Manchester United is likely to be opened up by the fourth-place Arsenal, Arsenal's opponent in this round of the league is Newcastle with average strength, not to mentionDon't forget that in the sprint stage of the season, the energy burst out of Arsenal who have entered the rhythm of the 'race for the four' is amazing, so neither the media nor Van Gaal himself thinks Newcastle can stop Arsenal.

Mata's goal helped United equalise just before half-time, much to Louis van Gaal's satisfaction.

……

Late in the first half, Liverpool's defender and captain Skrtel was injured as the game drew to a close, and Liverpool did not make any immediate substitutions as the game drew to a close.

Half a minute later, referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Liverpool drew 1-1 at Manchester United at Anfield in the second leg of the 2014/2015 league double tie.

Leaving the pitch, the United players looked noticeably better, with Mata's goal giving the team hope.

Wayne Rooney hugged Mata, although it was not scored by Rooney himself, which is a bit regrettable, but he is the captain of Manchester United, if the team can win away against rivals Liverpool, it will be a joint victory for him and the team, not to mention that the goal was instigated by Rooney in the midfield, and he also has credit.

Liverpool's players were a little depressed, and the opponent equalized at the end of the first half, which was unpleasant.

Back in the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp slapped the face: "Don't think about conceding the goal, it's nothing, we're strong, but we're not strong enough for the United to not score." ”

Klopp's humorous words drew a burst of laughter from the players.

Indeed, in terms of team lineup and strength, Manchester United is not worse than Liverpool, and even slightly better than Manchester United.

Before the game, the media also generally held this view when evaluating the lineups of the two teams, but the media also pointed out that Liverpool has one thing that makes Manchester United people jealous, that is, they have Jiang Chenxi!

'You did a good job in the first half, just keep playing like that in the second half. If they press too hard, then we will defend and counter-attack, and in this game, the United are under more pressure than we are, and the initiative is in our hands. ”

Jurgen Klopp said as he decompressed the players.

He was right, Liverpool had room for error in this game, but Manchester United did not, and if they want to break into the top four, Manchester United must win, otherwise it will be very difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Arsenal, who have started the rhythm of the 'race for the fourth'.

"Don't forget, we have Jiang." "Just one more of them in the second half!" ”

Jiang Chenxi also smiled and said, "Is one enough?" ”

These words attracted laughter from teammates, thinking of Jiang Chenxi's ability, Liverpool's players have confidence in their hearts, with such a superstar in the team, the whole team will be more confident, Jiang Chenxi has won the trust and support of his teammates with a goal.

……

In the Manchester United dressing room, Louis van Gaal was cheering on the players with his fists clenched: "Good! You guys did really well after conceding the goal! Liverpool are not strong and we can beat them! ”

"In the second half, we had to be more aggressive!" Speaking of which, Van Gaal nodded to Phil. Jones's name, "Phil, you're too polite to Jiang, you should be more aggressive, make him scared of you, don't let him take the ball comfortably." ”

Phil who was named. Jones nodded subconsciously, the head coach said so, he could only obey orders.

But in mind, Phil. Jones was bitter, he also wanted to be polite to Jiang Chenxi, but he couldn't do it, that kid's speed was too fast, and his reaction was even more sensitive than that of a fox, he had already used all his strength, but he still couldn't prevent it.

Besides, fouls?

In the forbidden area, he didn't dare.

However, what the coach said is also right, it is indeed to give the guy some color to see, it is not good to foul in the penalty area, and you can use a relatively large foul outside the penalty area to scare the guy and warn him not to be too arrogant.
