Chapter 57: Heaven and Hell

"Offensive !!"

Anfield remembered the cries of the mountains and the tsunami.

This is indeed Liverpool's best counter-attacking opportunity from the opening point to the present!!

United's three midfielders and three strikers have all stayed up front and haven't returned, and the backline isn't very complete – Valencia is running even further up front than Herrera!

So now in addition to the two central defenders, there is also left wing-back Sandro!

On Liverpool's side, it was Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge, and Mane all four arrows!!

Four to three!!

In the blink of an eye, the situation was turned upside down!

It was supposed to be a great opportunity for United to counter-attack, and the United players were already pressing up and ready to get into the attack - even if Di Maria's shot was blocked, the United players could rush up to grab the second point!

But that was to think, Di Maria's pick was directly picked up by Karius, and then the German goalkeeper immediately launched a counterattack!!

One second, Liverpool fans felt like they were in hell, but the next second, Anfield immediately became heaven.

Now it's Manchester United in hell!

Manchester United players are chasing back at high speed, but Coutinho is not slow to carry the ball at all, and there are not many players in Manchester United's midfield who can keep up with Coutinho's speed.

"Be careful!!" Ferdinand was almost on his feet.

In fact, in this commentary box, almost everyone stood up, and the commentators Andy Gray, Carragher....

All eyes were on Coutinho with the ball.

Rojo fought and retreated, he didn't dare to take it easy, and the same was true of Hummers and Sandro behind him.

Coutinho slowly slows down with the ball, and it's time for the most critical moment, whether it's continuing to dribble forward on his own or passing the ball out, Coutinho has to make a choice within a second - otherwise United's defenders have already felt it, and Coutinho even noticed Pogba's breathing behind him!

Firmino ran past Coutinho and completed a crossover. Pulled-on by Firmino, Hummels was forced to move a few steps to the outside.

At the moment when Hummels moved out, Coutinho suddenly changed direction and then stuffed the ball past Rojo and Hummels!!

"Nice passing !!" Andy Gray shouted.

Often described as "scalpel-like precision", Coutinho's pass was a testament to the Brazilian's unrivalled quality of passing – this time Coutinho's pass was as precise and sharp as a laser gun!

Sadio Mane rushed past Sandro and received Coutinho's diagonal through-ball!!

The Senegal winger didn't slow down, he continued to push the ball forward, even a few points faster!!

De Gea didn't dare to attack, he held the line - Mane doesn't have a good angle at the moment, if the opposition shoots on goal.....

As soon as De Gea thought about it, he saw Mane pick up his right foot!

This is..... Pass!!!

De Gea hurriedly turned his head.

It's Sturridge!!

It was the only sight David had seen before the goal!!

Sturridge came out in the middle and faced a wide open goal, the Liverpool centre-forward did not waste the opportunity, he easily pushed the ball and the football went into the net!

In a three-on-four situation, United's defenders will inevitably lose sight of one or the other.

When Sadio Mane crossed, Sturridge had no defensive pressure on the back of the net, and there were no defenders next to him, and the United players watched as Sturridge pushed the ball into the empty net with a kick of his foot – a goal that was easier than a goal in training!

After the football rolled into the goal, Anfield erupted in the biggest cheer of the game so far!

All the Liverpool fans jumped out of their seats and jumped up in the stands, assuming the cameras in the stands were shaking because of the fandom.

It's not just the cameras that are shaking, all the stands are shaking with this crazy atmosphere.

Fans in England have always been known for their crazy passion.

If it had been more than 20 years ago, the stands in England would have been even crazier than they are now.

For a long time, England's major stadiums had a large number of seats. Standing in the stands behind goal has always been an important part of English football culture.

In order to increase the number of spectators as much as possible, most stadiums in England will have sunken seats, whether standing or seating, that is, the stands will be lower than the turf of the stadium. This unique design brings fans a different perspective, and also shortens the distance between fans and players, and has become one of the symbols of English football stadiums.

However, the sunken standing seats are too crowded and are not conducive to evacuation in the event of an emergency. Most of the major football accidents in the UK, including the Hillsborough tragedy, have occurred in wooden stands.

According to the recommendations of the Taylor Report, the UK government and the FA have imposed a full-seat standard for professional leagues, and all major stadiums have undergone relevant changes in the early 90s. Although many die-hard fans still insist on standing and watching, there has never been a stand-up in the Premier League, and this is still the case today.

In recent years, there have been some voices in the English football circle to return to the bench. Nearly ninety percent of Manchester City fans want to reintroduce standing seats, which on the one hand will reduce ticket prices and on the other hand, it will also make the game more exciting. Seventy-five per cent of English professional league clubs share the same view, suggesting the introduction of a German approach, after all, "German railing-style folding seats not only have no record of safety incidents, but also increase the capacity of the pitch." ”

However, most of these suggestions are still pain that fans forget about after healing their scars. Because in the investigation of the families of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy, they all chose to oppose the resumption of their seating: "Of course you can stand up when you watch the game, but they don't need to stand the whole game. "Whether it is safe or atmosphere, this is still a question that will continue to be tangled in the future.

Crazy Liverpool fans jumping in the stands.

Crazy Liverpool players hugged and celebrated their goals on the pitch.

But the camera finds Klopp after all - how can you not see the celebration of the madman Klopp at such a moment?

Seeing Klopp's leaning forward, after seeing the football crash into the net, Klopp suddenly ran forward more than ten meters, and then jumped up and made a 360-degree spin, opening his big mouth and roaring.

This is really an atypical German.

But he deserved it, because his team managed to equalise after all!

Liverpool, playing at home, scored and now the score is 1-1!

The two sides are drawn!!

Di Maria, who had failed to score a single goal, covered his face with his hands and watched a great opportunity for his side to score, but his failure to capitalize on it turned into a carnival for his opponents.

That's the case with football.

One second heaven, the next second... Hell!
