Chapter 61: Another One

Chapter 61 and another

As the players walked out of the tunnel, Klopp stood at the door of the tunnel and froze for a moment, looking up at the sky and frowning.

It's going to rain....

I hope not to go down in these forty-five minutes.

Jurgen Klopp ignored the gloom of the skies, and his hope now is that Liverpool can score early in the second half, otherwise the game will drag on, and if United still have a two-goal lead in the second half of the second half, then the game will really hang in the air.

Nobody wants to lose the game, and no one wants to lose this red derby.

Manchester United and Liverpool, a hundred years of enemies, a hundred years of grievances, there are too many things to carry in a game.

The Liverpool players came out of the run first, at least mentally speaking, they were still full of fighting spirit.

The fans in the stands at Anfield also looked to be in good spirits after 15 minutes of recuperation, cheering loudly from the stands to cheer on the Liverpool players.

"Come on, Liverpool!!"

"Kill Manchester United!!

"Come on, you can do it!!"

Despite their side being two goals behind, Liverpool fans are not going to throw in the towel. Forty-five minutes into the game, anything is possible, isn't it?

The United players didn't let their opponents wait too long, they all smiled and slowly walked out of the tunnel, the smiles on their faces made everyone feel the ease of the United players, as if the game was not played at Anfield, which was hostile to Manchester United, but at the home of a small team, and it was not a Premier League game, but a League Cup or FA Cup against the lower divisions - the two-goal lead in the first half allowed the United players to build up enough psychological advantage.

'The players can't be too relaxed, even though they are two goals ahead, but there is a saying that two goals up is the most dangerous, and if Liverpool are careless and Liverpool are chasing a goal back in a period of time, then the game will probably be turned around. Scholes said with a frown as he looked at the relaxed expressions on the players' faces from the box.

"You've always been so strict, Paul!" Ferdinand laughed on the sidelines, "We have Li Qingshan, he only scored one goal in this game, how can this be enough for a striker of his level, I bet, this kid must be holding back a lot of energy to score!" ”

"Jurgen Klopp must have beaten the Liverpool players at half-time, just look at the fighting spirit on their faces!!" Carragher said as he pulled himself together.

At this moment, the fourth official on the sidelines held up a substitution sign.

"Is this going to be replaced?!"

Several people in the box glanced at each other, Klopp was going to be the first to make adjustments, who was he going to replace?

The fourth official on the sidelines held up a sign, 20th up, 7th down!

Lallana came on and replaced full-back James Milner!!

An attacking player who replaced a defender!!

Jurgen Klopp adjusted the formation to 343!!

"Klopp is out of the way!! This is going to be attacked!! Andy Gray said excitedly, "This game is good, whether Liverpool's attack crushes Manchester United, or Manchester United continues to counterattack and break Liverpool's door, we will wait and see!" ”

Ancelotti glanced sideways at Klopp.

It's really bold, but it's a pity, you're already two goals behind, and I won't give you too many chances.

Of course, Ancelotti chose to stay put, the winning team did not change, and now the balance of the team's offensive and defensive ends is good, and Ancelotti will not easily change this balance with substitutions.

.........

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool showed an indomitable attacking momentum, and they pounced on it like a hungry wolf, ready to tear Manchester United apart in one fell swoop.

But now this Manchester United team is still very mature, although the defensive pressure is very high, but their defensive positioning and help defense are very good, Liverpool continue to wear the ball around the perimeter, but there are not many attacking opportunities that really threaten the Manchester United penalty area.

Like the tide crashing against a reef, Liverpool's side is menacing, while Manchester United are immovable.

......

"Ten minutes into the second half, it was still Liverpool's attack, Manchester United didn't get too good a counter-attacking opportunity, but Liverpool also struggled to get the ball into the United box. Liverpool's attack didn't work too well. Andy Gray said.

"Manchester United's defense is not good, Carlo Ancelotti has done a very solid job of tempering Manchester United's defense, and the centre-back combination of Hummels and Rojo still looks like the best combination." Ferdinand said.

It was just in time that Rojo made a beautiful defensive touch-up and cleared the ball out of the box.

At this time, the camera immediately locked on Eric Bailly sitting on the bench, the 30 million pound Ivory Coast central defender, has always been considered to replace Rojo's starting central defender position, but so far this season, Bailly has not had the opportunity to partner with Hummels at central defender, Ancelotti still let him sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity.

On the other side, Klopp seemed a little anxious, it had been ten minutes, Liverpool still failed to score, he waved his arms on the sidelines, let Liverpool continue to press, press the attack!!

Ancelotti crossed his legs and looked at Klopp, who was on the other side with a lot of body language.

Who was the last German manager with such a lot of body language as Jurgen Klopp?

Ancelotti thought, but couldn't think about it again after all.

At this moment, Ancelotti suddenly stood up from his seat!!

Manchester United's counter-attacking chances!!

De Gea plucked Liverpool's cross and threw it forward!!

"Manchester United's counterattack!! Here it comes!!! ”

The commentators also exclaimed.

In order to score as soon as possible, Liverpool's defense is very high!!

"Juan Mata has the ball!!"

Juan Mata easily stopped the ball on the flank, then looked at the positions of the other United players and opted for a through ball that went forward.

Li Qingshan crossed Lovren and stepped forward directly.

By the time Lovren turned around, Li Qingshan had already controlled the ball!!

Lovren gritted his teeth and continued to chase after him, Li Qingshan's absolute speed was not fast, he could catch up.

Li Qingshan dribbled the ball forward, his speed was not fast, but the rhythm was good, and he always stuck Lovren behind.

However, Liverpool's defense was not the only one in Lovren's defense, Klein also rushed over, ready to break the ball with Lovren.

Li Qingshan was waiting for this moment, and after Klein rushed up, Li Qingshan immediately pushed the ball to the side!!

"Valencia !!!"

In the exclamation of the commentator, Valencia, who was flying fast, had already rushed up!!

In this case, whoever holds the ball is the most dangerous!

Klein gritted his teeth and continued to rush towards Valencia, who had the ball!

At the same time, Li Qingshan was inserted diagonally into the middle of the penalty area, and Lovren was in hot pursuit!!

On the other hand, Di Maria pinned down Liverpool's other central defender Matip!!

After winning the ball, Valencia pressed the ball and rushed into the box.

"Stop them!!"

Li Qingshan in the middle and Di Maria in the back were all inserted, and Karius yelled and signaled his teammates to take precautions.

But Valencia did not pass on any of them in general.

He passed the ball slightly back, an inverted triangle of passing!!

"Mata !!!!"

Amid the narrator's roar, Juan Mata struck a left-footed push near the penalty spot, but Karius was unable to react.

Ball..... It's in again!!
