Chapter Twenty-Three: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow

Blind!! Pretty!! Manchester United's tactics completely deceived Liverpool. ”

"Maybe Manchester United's header put too much pressure on Liverpool, Liverpool's defense this time completely gave up the space around the arc of the penalty area, Blind even had time to stop the ball and adjust before shooting, such a distance, such an opportunity, the Dutchman will never let it go!!"

The commentators roared, and the United fans in the stands rose from their seats.

This time it was definitely a quick goal! There is nothing wrong with that.

The Liverpool fans who conceded the ball could only hold their heads in their hands, looking very painful and frustrated.

Rodgers was very angry, his team was completely played by Manchester United, everyone would think that Juan Mata would definitely pass the ball into the penalty area, allowing Manchester United's big men to give full play to their height, however, no one expected that the small man Blind ambushed behind several big men in the front field and completed the fatal blow. When Blind shot, he didn't have any Liverpool players within a 10-metre radius.

Carlo Ancelotti was delighted and rushed out of his seat with his hands clenched into his fists as Blind shot the ball into the net.

Not only happy with Blind's goal, but also happy with the tacit understanding that his team has gradually formed, and the inspiration on the pitch.

Carlo Ancelotti did not arrange set-piece tactics like Juan Mata and Blind, and United's set-pieces were always sent over the heads of Li Qingshan, Marouane Fellaini and others. But when the players suddenly change the pace on the pitch, the effect is often unexpected.

Coutinho put the ball in the center circle a little helplessly, the Brazilian saw that Manchester United pressed a considerable number of people into the Liverpool penalty area, and he was looking forward to seeing if he could take the opportunity to counterattack, so he stood near the midfield, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Na Cheng didn't want to counterattack, but he witnessed the whole process of the team's conceded goal. When Chris Smalling and others pressed forward to take away the only defensive force on the arc of the penalty area, Coutinho saw Blind who had spared him from the other side, and before he could give a warning, Blind completed the shot.

Benteke also came to the middle circle, but he did not have any communication with Cantiho, this season's Liverpool team is the champion, obviously quite unconvinced by Coutinho's core position, he is not even willing to do superficial work. Liverpool's players know that there is no cold at all between Benteke and Coutinho.

Coutinho didn't pay much attention to Benteke, he is the core of Liverpool, Benteke has to play around himself even if he is not convinced, otherwise he is ready to sit on the bench.

And Coutinho doesn't have much energy to fight with Benteke. In Coutinho's mind, Liverpool is just a platform, a springboard, through which he needs to get the attention of the supergiants. For example, Barcelona, for example, Real Madrid.

The attraction of La Liga's two giants to South American players is undeniable.

As the core of Liverpool, but there is no loyalty to Liverpool, this has to be said to be the sadness of Liverpool, an English giant, because it cannot maintain enough competitiveness all year round, especially Liverpool has not been involved in the top league championship for more than 20 years, a team that has not won the championship, it is difficult to keep people. There was Suarez in the past, and now Coutinho has little loyalty to Liverpool. After all, not everyone is Gerald.

However, Coutinho wants to use Liverpool as a springboard, and he must perform well enough at Liverpool.

Therefore, he still plays quite hard at Liverpool.

After conceding the goal, Coutinho's Liverpool attacking group launched a counterattack, and Manchester United also began to seek safety because of the lead, slightly relinquishing some possession.

It's just that in the face of the iron gate composed of three players in Manchester United's midfield, no matter how Liverpool passes on the periphery, as long as there is an intention to move forward, it will always hit this gate.

Last season's Manchester United Player of the Match De Gea has had a much easier season, conceding just one goal in four league games, and the number of saves he has needed has been greatly reduced this season.

It's no wonder that many Manchester United fans are starting to feel sorry for David De Gea.

This defense is so stable, how can people brush data.

Liverpool's attack was fruitless, but Manchester United's attack was quite aggressive, whether it was at the scene or in front of the TV, Liverpool fans couldn't help but scream several times in just over ten minutes.

Maybe it's because Li Qingshan's footwork is not going well today, or maybe it's because Mignolet is in good shape. So far, despite the rumors in front of Liverpool's goal, they haven't conceded any more goals after all.

But that's all, Liverpool is the lagging side now, and a 0-1 loss is also a loss. After all, there has to be an attack.

Coutinho began to try long-range shots on the perimeter, Coutinho's long-range shooting ability is still quite strong, but he tried several long-range shots today and missed, and perhaps in a hurry to equalize, many shots were not too well timed, and they were completely forced shots.

How can such a shot penetrate the Manchester United backline?

After failing to shoot at goal, he even got angry with the turf.

He blamed the kick on the pitch – a piece of turf that had been flipped up in front of him, and it was Coutinho who had just rolled to the spot and jumped up, causing Coutinho to kick right underneath the ball and the volley turned into a big kick......

'Coutinho is impatient, he wants to score too much, and Liverpool should be a little more patient and organise their attacks instead of shooting from distance.

Andy Gray was unceremonious in his criticism of Coutinho's actions.

And Manchester United is naturally happy Liverpool's attack ended in this way, and then the ball returned to this side.

Brendan Rodgers was also very unhappy with Coutinho's behaviour on the side, constantly trying to influence the players on the pitch through body language to calm them down, be patient and look for opportunities, and not waste the ball easily.

It's just that Rodgers' voice and movements went unnoticed by the Liverpool players on the pitch.

In the 72nd minute, Coutinho pulled the ball on the wing, and he cut inside immediately after receiving the ball before slotting the ball away.

He's going to shoot again!

Rodgers reached out, as if that would stop Coutinho.

But obviously it didn't work, Coutinho ran and shot.

Such a biased angle, coupled with the fact that Coutinho's previous shots did not create any threat, so neither the United fans, nor Carlo Ancelotti, nor the players on the pitch felt any nervousness.

But when Coutinho shoots this shot. Everyone's face changed!

The ball whistled towards goal, and De Gea reacted quickly enough, but the speed and angle of the ball were perfect.

The ball went around De Gea's fingertips and into the corner of the goal!!

"A Cloud-piercing Arrow !!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhang Jun's signature commentary is here again.
