In the fifth round of the league, Liverpool travelled to Old Trafford and they eventually won away from home, but it was not an easy win, as evidenced by the 4-3 scoreline.

Liverpool is the Premier League champion last season, with the world footballer Jiang Chenxi, it can be said that the strength of this Liverpool team is stronger than Manchester United, at least the strength of the starting lineup is stronger than Manchester United, but, as the English media said, the game between Liverpool and Manchester United, the century-old rivals, can never be measured by the current strength and state of the two teams, both sides will burst out with great energy when the double red meeting! .

This can also be seen in the progress of the game after the start of the game.

Manchester United pressed fiercely in this game, and began to grab in the front court, making it difficult for Liverpool to play a smooth attacking coordination.

"It's hard for Liverpool to have more than three forward passes! Manchester United really worked hard today! Zhan Jun said.

In this game, Mane, who has performed well recently, is suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards, so Liverpool's attacking trident today is Firmino, Jiang Chenxi and Salah.

The attack was particularly tilted towards the side of the line between the former Basel twins of Salah and Jiang Chenxi.

Facts have proved that Van Gaal has long studied and guarded against this, and has made targeted deployments.

Salah has been targeted by Manchester United's defense, his physical confrontation ability is relatively weak, Manchester United is relatively easy to deal with Salah than against Jiang Chenxi, don't look at Jiang Chenxi does not look so strong, but his confrontation ability is quite good.

Salah's small body was hit by Fellaini and Carrick, and he really played very hard.

……

'It's been half an hour into the first half and Manchester United have the advantage, which is more or less surprising. Zhan Jun said, "Zhang, what do you think of this game?" ”

'First of all, Jurgen Klopp was a bit underweight, Van Dijk didn't start, and his centre-backs were Colo Toure and Joe. Gomez is a young and old pair, and Liverpool are clearly less prepared for this game, or less excited than Manchester United. Zhang Lu said, "In addition, with Mane suspended, the connection between Jiang Chenxi and Salah is almost predictable, Van Gaal has the right prediction of this, and targeted deployment!" ”

By this time, the game had been played for more than half an hour, and although Manchester United had the advantage, they were never able to score.

At this time, the camera caught Van Gaal unable to sit still in the dugout, and he got up and shouted loudly from the sidelines.

"Van Gaal couldn't sit still." Zhan Jun said, "Manchester United need a goal! They need to ease their way in Liverpool, or more precisely, score first before Jiang Chenxi's nuclear weapon erupts, otherwise, the current advantage can only be useless. ”

Zhan Jun is right, Van Gaal is indeed a little anxious, he knows very well that Manchester United must score before the end of the first half to take a 1-0 lead, otherwise, after 15 minutes of half-time adjustments, Liverpool will come back to their strength, and Manchester United will be in danger at that time.

This is also what Klopp thinks, Klopp is also waiting for the end of the first half, he will use the half-time time to make adjustments to the team, I believe that after the rest, the form and performance of the players will be improved.

Therefore, Klopp is not in a hurry to make adjustments.

Soon, though, Klopp was annoyed.

……

It was an attacking attack from Manchester United when Michael Carrick suddenly delivered a long ball over the top from near the centre circle.

Fellaini opted for a header back with his back to goal.

"It's dangerous!"

Marcus Rashford raced past the aging Kolo Toure and sprinted towards the football.

At the same time, Anthony Martial was also cutting forward at high speed.

"Two to two! This is Manchester United's chance! ”

Facing Alberto who came up to intercept. Moreno, Rashford smashes the ball past with a change of direction, and then he catches up with the ball before it is about to go out of the line and goes straight to the ground to shovel the ball in front of goal.

A red figure slapped the horse and killed, and he grabbed Joe. Gomez had fallen to the ground and slid into the net with the ball.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Just as the first half was about to end, Manchester United, who were playing at home, scored! Zhan Jun shouted, "Anthony Martial's goal!" Marcus Rashford's cross! A connection between two young people! 1 to 0! Manchester United lead Liverpool! ”

"Liverpool's goal is finally broken!" Zhang Lu said, "Fellaini's header back is very subtle, this time to break through the Liverpool defence, Rashford and Martial, the two fast youngsters are not inexperienced Joe at all. Gomez and Moreno, who is heavy on offense and light on defense, can defend it! ”

"Director Zhang is right." Zhan Jun agreed, "Liverpool's defensive line today laid the groundwork for conceding the ball, Moreno is heavy on offense and light on defense, Klein is weak on offense and strong on defense, both sides are lame, and Colo Toure is old, Joe. Gomez is inexperienced, and this defence is now a joy for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. ”

……

The Old Trafford stadium, which had just been somewhat calm, erupted at this moment, and the excitement of the United fans was completely ignited by Anthony Martial's goal, and all the United fans jumped from their seats and raised their arms and chanted.

They were shouting the name of the goal-scorer Anthony Martial.

The stands at Old Trafford even resounded with fans singing songs made for Anthony Martial.

While Manchester United's performances this season have been criticised, Anthony Martial has been one of the few bright spots. The French striker is so beloved by Manchester United fans that he now has a song that fans have written just for him.

"Tony Martial came from France,

English press said he had no chance,

50 million down the drain,

Anthony Martial, however, has scored again (As Tony martial scores again)!

Na Na Na…”

Anthony Martial also rushed to the underside of the stands to salute the United fans in the stands.

……

The goal also detonated the United dugout and bench, who rushed out and shouted in celebration of the goal, just like the United fans in the stands.

As the head coach of the team, Van Gaal, he was also very excited, and the red-faced Dutch coach raised his arms excitedly and cheered.

However, the experienced boss did not get carried away and immediately reined in his emotions and began to think about what United should do after the goal.

Generally speaking, when the team is leading in the goal, the momentum is in full swing, and it is completely possible to continue to attack and try to expand the score.

Van Gaal has also been impressed, and has considered pressing out to continue the attack.

However, it is now forty-two minutes into the first half of the game, and there is not much time left in the first half.

At this time, wouldn't it be more pragmatic and reliable to retract the defense and hold on to the one-goal lead?

The main reason is that the goal came too late.

If it had been more than half an hour to score, Van Gaal would have dared to take the risk and let United step up their attack and try to beat Liverpool to extend their lead.

However, there are only a few minutes left in the first half, and if Liverpool continue to attack at this time, if a big push is pressed, or a careless goal is conceded, 1-0 becomes 1-1, then the whole first half of the game will be in vain.

Especially Liverpool has Jiang Chenxi, once Liverpool seizes the opportunity to counterattack, with Jiang Chenxi's ability, he will definitely be able to grasp the opportunity to score!

Can't take any chances!

Be steady!

Van Gaal glanced at the Liverpool vice-president who was already standing in the centre circle ready to kick off, and he made a decision:

Curl up!
