Chapter Ninety-Four: Another Stab

Philippe Coutinho could have breathed a sigh of relief for his time to get fit, but Liverpool's defence was completely tight.

Because when Manchester United pressed the attack, they really felt how lethal Manchester United's attack really was.

In the space of five minutes, United had three dangerous shots, starting with Herrera's long-range effort from outside the area forcing a thrilling save from Mignolet, then Li Qingshan's header from near the penalty spot that went wide of the post, and then Juan Mata's left-footed curling shot from the right and off the line.

Liverpool's defence was in turmoil for a while.

Klopp frowned, he knew that Manchester United was very strong, otherwise he would not have achieved the current results this season, but what he didn't expect was that Liverpool's defense was so unbearable for Manchester United.

In desperation, he also had to temporarily avoid the front, let the team retreat a little, and let Liverpool withstand Manchester United's offensive first.

But Klopp's concern is that if Liverpool retreats, they may hand over the initiative of the game.

In fact, Klopp's worries are not unfounded, and the situation on the pitch is now trending in this direction.

Manchester United gradually pressed the formation up, while Liverpool were forced to retreat into the half. And in terms of the level of threat of attack, Manchester United's attack is much more aggressive than Liverpool's previous attack.

"After taking the lead, Manchester United began to press, even if they were playing away, Manchester United had enough team strength for them to be able to suppress Liverpool!!"

"It was the thirtieth minute of the game, and the score was still 0-1, with Manchester United leading the home team Liverpool. And to the dismay of Liverpool fans, the visiting team Manchester United has mastered the situation on the pitch. Manchester United have been very strong this season, and under Carlo Ancelotti, Manchester United have performed very well at both ends of the pitch, and the key to all this is of course the Chinese player Li Qingshan, whom Manchester United spent 100 million euros to bring in this season. Because of the existence of Li Qingshan, Ancelotti does not have to invest more offensive players in the frontcourt, and the team's offensive side will not have problems, this deal is really worth it! ”

'Liverpool were squeezed back into their own half. Despite their passivity on the pitch, the game was not yet a time for the hosts to give up, as they were only one goal behind and if they could have scored a goal on the counter-attack, they could have equalised United on the scoreline. The question now is whether they will be able to hold on to this wave of Manchester United's attack. ”

Once United had the upper hand, the commentators began to cheer for United. This is also because Manchester United's offensive has been quite fierce during this period. Fans always like offensive images, so the media has to cater to their own customers.

"Li Qingshan!!!!!"

With the commentator shouting, Li Qingshan pulled out his foot and shot angrily outside the penalty area, although it finally missed the post slightly, but it was enough to surprise the Liverpool fans in a cold sweat.

Many fans in the stands even blindfolded their hands when Li Qingshan shot the goal, and they didn't dare to look at the stadium until they heard a happy sigh from the people around them.

"Li Qingshan's performance has become more and more active during this time, he frequently shoots from the perimeter, adjusting his crosshairs, and it seems that he is getting closer and closer to his second goal of the game."

"Liverpool have to find some way to limit Li Qingshan's play, but what can they do? Anyway, I can't think of it, if I do, the other teams in the Premier League should give me five million bonuses, haha! ”

The commentator was joking, but Liverpool fans certainly couldn't laugh. Because the more active Li Qingshan is, the more pressure they will have on the goal.

Li Qingshan, who missed this opportunity, was not much upset, because soon Manchester United's attack made a comeback.

Juan Mata dribbled down the middle and, after drawing the attention of the defence, headed the ball wide for a point. Valencia cut in at high speed, caught up with the ball and sent in a cross.

Li Qingshan slashed forward diagonally, then flicked his header back, and the ball flew past Mignolet's palm and towards the back of the goal.

The hearts of Liverpool fans were about to be entangled, and as a result, the football smashed on the crossbar and went out of the bottom line.

There was a sudden sound of inhalation.

The fans in the Anfield stands were going to be scared, and from the stands, it looked like the ball was almost going to drill into the goal....

The camera immediately gave Li Qingshan a close-up, and Li Qingshan, who passed by the goal again, scratched his hair a little depressedly, this ball is really a pity, he used a little more strength when he threw it back, and the ball was thrown some. However, if you throw a little bit of force, the ball will also be picked up by Mignolet, and the power of the shot from the front nod to the back needs to be very precise.

Klopp was relatively calm on the sidelines, he knew that he couldn't show an anxious look at this time, otherwise if the manager was so anxious, then the Liverpool players on the field would definitely be even more anxious.

To get the game back, Liverpool will need more patience.

However, United did not give Liverpool a respite.

After Mignolet drove the ball away, United quickly regained possession and continued to launch a new offensive around Liverpool.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

After Liverpool's lucky escapes, in the 38th minute of the game, their players were once again defeated.

Di Maria shook off the defender's letting go of a defender in a series of feints on the left flank, and then dribbled the ball near the baseline and picked the ball into the box.

Li Qingshan padded the ball on his chest with the side facing the goal, and then raised his right foot, and the ball passed through the two Liverpool central defenders.

Immediately after that, the figure of Mata appeared in the camera.

No one expected Li Qingshan to pass the ball out in this way, and the work that Mata needed to do was very simple, with no one marking, he only needed to head the ball lightly and put the ball into the empty goal.

“goooooooooooooal！！！！！！！”

"Mata!! Mata!! He received a pass from Li Qingshan at the back post and headed the ball into the Liverpool goal!! ”

"0 to 2!! 0 to 2!! Liverpool trail Manchester United by two goals at home!! ”

Amid the passionate roars of the commentators, Mata ran to the sidelines and celebrated his crucial goal with a long slip kneeling to the boos and curses of the Liverpool fans!!

If Liverpool's attack is just a scratch in the boot for Manchester United.

So Manchester United's attack, for Liverpool......... But it's unbearable.
