Chapter 106: Threatening Attack

"Just over five minutes into the game, there were already two clashes between the two sides in the corner flag area near the south stand, Milner made two consecutive tackles, bringing down Rafael and Li Qingshan respectively, and he also received a yellow card for a second tackle foul!"

Andy Gray said in the commentary box.

"Receiving a yellow card in the opening five minutes is not good news for Liverpool, but there are more than 80 minutes left in this game, and this yellow card may make Milner's defense shrink a little bit!"

"Referee Atkinson's approach is correct, the two sides have ignited the flame of conflict twice in a row, at this time if you don't warn Milner who provoked the incident, the mood of the two sides will heat up in the rest of the game, I am afraid it is not something that the referee can control, we don't want to see red cards for players on both sides in the second half of the game." Leo Ferdinand said:

The confusion quickly subsided, with a yellow card upsetting Milner but also managed to calm him down. The game had only been played for less than ten minutes, and it was far from the white-hot stage of bayonets. The situation is still very favorable for Liverpool, they have a goal ahead, they can put their forces on defense and then play Manchester United's counter-attack!!

And Manchester United's attacking threat from set-pieces in the front court also made Liverpool dare not slack off, Manchester United is piled up five high points in the penalty area, Li Qingshan, Pogba, Rojo, Smalling, Fellaini! These five players, all over 1.9 meters tall, give United an absolute height advantage over Liverpool in terms of set-pieces up front.

In fact, this is also true.

Mata passed the ball directly into the penalty area, and after bypassing the defense of Liverpool's front point, Li Qingshan went around the back point and came to the middle, jumped high, and completed the header!

But this time he headed it a little higher and the ball flew off the crossbar!!

There was applause from the stands, and although the goal was not scored, it was also Manchester United's first shot of the game.

"Li Qingshan.... Header on goal!! Ahh......hhh The top is high! Pity!! Although Manchester United is not Duan Xuan's home team, Duan Xuan's explanation at this moment is also very biased - he has completely fallen to Manchester United's side. But this is also normal, who let Manchester United have Li Qingshan, even if Duan Xuan's personal emotional factors are excluded, most Chinese fans still hope that Li Qingshan's team will perform well, not to mention that this is Li Qingshan's own header just now. Although CCTV is a national television station, as a media, they sometimes need to cater to the audience.

......

Mignolet quickly drove the goal kick out, Manchester United also pressed up, Li Qingshan stood between Liverpool's two central defenders, one left and one right behind him, Di Maria and Mata also stuck Mignolet's ball line!

Mignolet had no choice but to step forward with his big foot and send the ball out.

This time the United defence was prepared, and although Sturridge had worked hard to fight for position, Smalling was still much stronger than Sturridge in front of him.

Smalling jumped off Sturridge's back and headed the ball back.

Fellaini chested the ball off near the centre circle and played it to the left, before Fellaini began to cut inside the box.

Pogba was originally waiting for the ball in front, but Fellaini stepped in, and Pogba naturally retreated to the left side of the midfield to respond.

Di Maria received the ball on the left and Pogba just moved, Di Maria passed the ball to Pogba and ran forward.

Klein was in hot pursuit of Di Maria, and after Pogba received the ball, Lallana also came up.

'The Liverpool midfielders were very aggressive in their movement and they didn't give the Manchester United players too much space to pass!!'

'That's right, against a team like Manchester United you have to put in more movement, you can't give them easy crosses or forward passes, you push them back as much as possible. Gerald said.

Pogba physically jammed Lallana and didn't give his opponent a chance to break the ball. Lallana himself doesn't want to get the ball back all at once, he just needs to keep Pogba from turning.

As long as Pogba can't turn around, United's forward pass will be out of the question.

'Liverpool are pressing at the moment and Manchester United have to speed up the pass, and at such a slow tempo, Liverpool can easily occupy various defensive positions and make it difficult for you to get the ball in. Gary Neville said.

Pogba looked up and saw that Liverpool's formation had been basically compressed to the left, because football had been developing on the left side during this time, so Liverpool's players also moved to their right side, and the two sides concentrated most of the players in this area.

Pogba looked to the right, there was a large open field over there!

However, in this situation, Pogba has no way to get the ball past.

At this moment, Li Qingshan's voice sounded from his side.

"Paul!! Here!! ”

Li Qingshan retreated from the front, and Lovren chased after him.

Pogba didn't hesitate, he passed the ball to Li Qingshan's feet, and then ran forward himself.

Li Qingshan led the ball and half-turned, launched a long pass before Lovren came up to defend, and transferred to the right!

"Nice long pass transfer!!" Gerrard's eyes lit up, and even though the opponent was a Manchester United player, Gerrard was amazed by the pass.

"Li Qingshan will be a player with a very long career, and when he is in his thirties, he can even consider playing in the midfield position, his positional sense and vision are quite perfect!" Gerrard exclaimed, how did such a perfect player let Manchester United get....

After Li Qingshan passed the ball, he inserted it into the penalty area, and on the right, Rafael got a large space!

Liverpool's formation didn't have time to move to Rafael's side, Coutinho and Milner simply retreated, and now if they catch up with Rafael, it is likely to be too late!

The timing of Li Qingshan's long pass transfer is just right!!

Raphael stops the ball forward while running and continues to plug in without slowing down!

Near the penalty area, Rafael picked the ball up and the ball flew in a strong arc towards the Liverpool penalty area!!

Li Qingshan ran to the front point, he rubbed back at the front point, and Di Maria slapped the horse to arrive, stretched out his foot directly, and sent the ball into the goal!!

"The ball went in!! Manchester United quickly equalised!! Duan Xuan raised his arms and shouted on the commentary seat, "Assist from Li Qingshan's header........"

"Huh? This ball doesn't seem to count!? ”

Referee Atkinson blew the whistle and crossed his hands.

Goal nullified!! The goal is offside! The linesman raised the flag on the sidelines!!

Di Maria, who was just about to celebrate, hugged her head and was puzzled, Li Qingshan ran to the linesman who was still holding the flag and asked loudly.

And boos rang out from the stands.

The TV broadcast replayed the moment when Li Qingshan's header was swinging backwards, and Di Maria seemed to be parallel to Matip who was dragging at the end...

"This offside decision is debatable!"

Manchester United's players regret it, but they can only consider themselves unlucky, after all, the linesman is not a machine, and when he thinks you are offside, you don't have much to do.

But it at least shows that United's attacking threat is starting to come out.
