635, the dragon and the duck
“Glory,glory,Man United……”
Songs of glory resounded over Manchester, and the 76,212-capacity Old Trafford stadium was flooded with just under 75,000 today.
But don't doubt that the more than 1,000 seats that have been vacated are meant to isolate home and away fans to avoid direct physical altercations between the two sides.
Hundreds of security personnel were densely distributed between the fans of both sides, and although the two seasons of the Double Red League were relatively peaceful, no one dared to take it lightly.
“You'll Never Get a Job……”
“here’s the Captain Gerrard?”
Fans in England are much more active than those in Italy and Germany, adapting lyrics to match the opponent to boost morale and satirize the opponent.
Manchester United fans are clearly experts in this area, and not only did they adapt the lyrics of Liverpool's anthem, but they also "missed" the legendary Liverpool captain and mocked the Reds for forcing out their Gerrard......
Liverpool fans not far away immediately stopped doing it, and they threw their disposable cups and coins far over the iron fence to launch a counterattack, and there was a commotion in the stands.
In the sixth minute, United had the first chance.
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet made an undeserved mistake when he threw the ball straight to Juan Mata's feet......
Mata flicked Fellaini, and the Belgian came directly with a hanging shot, but unfortunately he was not a positive Indian striker after all, and in the face of a mostly empty goal, his shot actually flew into the stands!
Van Gaal couldn't help but scold, but Rodgers was already in a cold sweat.
Long Shute was also scared for a while.
Playing in Liverpool...... Never relax.
Even if you're still three goals ahead at 80 minutes, you can't relax.
Because you don't know if your teammates behind you will give away three goals in five minutes......
-
Before Liverpool fans could catch their breath, Manchester United were on the offensive again.
German Cristiano Ronaldo, the new No. 7 of the Red Devils, and Robben's successor - Depay crossed from a small angle after breaking through the penalty area on the left side, and the football hit Skrtel and bounced towards the goal, almost flying directly into the goal!
Long Shute, who was standing outside the forbidden area, couldn't help but spit out:
Big brother, can you be more reliable?!
-
The answer is no.
A few minutes later, Milner, who was partnering Lonschert in midfield, made a mistake in passing the ball and sent a short ball to Depay, giving the Dutchman a chance to face the defence head-on.
Thankfully, this time the defenders finally hardened, with Skrtel and Klein teaming up to keep Depay out of the box and failing to allow him to threaten Mignolet again.
'The first half was 20 minutes, Manchester United dominated the vast majority of the time, and Liverpool's goal was tested many times, but it was ...... Most of the threat seems to come from their own players. ”
Zhan Tianjun hated iron and steel:
'Liverpool have made a bit too many mistakes in the midfield, from the midfielders to the defenders to the goalkeepers, everyone seems to be too nervous, even the most basic passes are wrong......
Zhang Lu was also unhappy:
"The overall form of his team-mates is not good, Lonschet can only drop back frequently to help the defence, and we can hardly see his performance in the attacking end, which is probably the tactical purpose of Louis van Gaal......
-
Compared to Juan Mata on the right, Van Gaal clearly regarded his countrymen as the main attackers, and the first 20 minutes of the attack basically came from Depay on the left.
The Eredivisie MVP is also worthy of his name, facing Klein, who is three years older than him, Depay has almost completely outplayed the opponent in all aspects, and can only let Skrtel fill in for him frequently.
But after 20 minutes, United's left side suddenly lost its explosiveness, and Klein gradually became familiar with Depay's attacking routine, and slowly began to win in a one-on-one battle.
"Boom!"
Depay was cut off by Klein for the second time, and he watched in disbelief as the little black man in front of him kicked the ball out, with a look of surprise and chagrin.
Lao Tzu is the Eredivisie Golden Boot!
Eredivisie Golden Boot what level is that?
Suarez and Ronjute are my ceiling!
How can you be stopped here by this unknown British?!
-
When Depay lost his deterrent, United's offensive naturally became thunderous and rainy.
And Liverpool's attack has gradually rebounded.
After the 30th minute, the Liverpool midfielder with Lonshette as the core slowly pressed into Manchester United's half, and once suppressed the opponent so much that he couldn't raise his head.
Louis van Gaal may not have done much to guide the attacking end, but he is quite capable at the defensive end, and even Blind, who is a duck on the shelf, has played well at centre-back.
Not to mention...... The goalkeeper standing on the goal line of Manchester United is already a first-class goalkeeper in the world!
-
There was a flurry of exclamations from the stands at Old Trafford.
Long Shute shook his head helplessly.
He tried three shots in quick succession in the space of a few minutes, from a long-range shot from outside the box, to a direct free-kick from 25 yards, to a volley from 12 yards, all of which were brilliantly blocked by De Gea!
"Push the window and look at the moon!
"Raise fire to the sky!"
"Hea sits on the lotus!"
Zhan Tianjun gave De Gea's three saves in a row a name that was very compelling at first sound......
But Chinese fans can't wait to punch him!
Lonshit glanced at the Spanish goalkeeper with some disbelief.
De Gea was linked to Real Madrid throughout the summer transfer window, and even on the last day of August, Florentino vowed to bring the young goalkeeper to the Bernabeu, but their fax machine failed to send the offer to Manchester United in time due to network transmission problems......
However, the three-month-long transfer turmoil will definitely affect the player's own form, and Van Gaal has put De Gea on the bench in the first four rounds of the league in order to prove his toughness, but ...... His performance in front of goal today, where is the lack of form?!
Ronshette glanced at Mignolet in his own half and couldn't help but sigh.
Genius, after all, is genius.
There are some gaps that you really can't catch up with with a little effort.
-
As the clock ticked 40 minutes, there was a noticeable drop in the movement of players on both sides, after all, neither of them was iron-clad.
'It was a stalemate and the tempo slowed down a bit, so Brendan Rodgers and Louis van Gaal might want to think about the half-time adjustments......
Sky Sports' Alan Smith was also at a loss for words, as the game situation was so lackluster.
Zhan Tianjun is more direct:
"To be honest, the Double Red Club in recent years has become less and less flavorful, we don't want to be a bayonet and a man on the back, but both the manager and the players seem to make fewer mistakes as the most important thing, which also makes the game less exciting.
For 40 minutes, the home side had just four shots on goal and none on target. Liverpool, on the other hand, had seven shots on goal and four on target, but they were all saved by St. de Gea's bravery......"
Zhang Lu also blew a wave:
"De Gea's goalkeeper is so good, I have watched the game for so many years, and I have never seen a goalkeeper who can make Longshut show a helpless expression......"
Both commentators were praising the United goalkeeper, and De Gea, although he couldn't hear the poisoned milk, couldn't help but frown.
In the 43rd minute, Liverpool instigated another counterattack.
The counter-attack came from a break by Ronschert, and it was his old teammate Schweinsteiger who broke the ball.
This time, he did not give the ball to other teammates as soon as before, but decided to advance with the ball himself.
United's three lines are a bit up front and want to get back to the ...... It's too late!
Schweinsteiger's first reaction was to pull the jersey, but he was too slow!
He just took a step forward and saw the shadow of his old teammate galloping!
Piggy was originally a lagging midfielder, he conceded the ball here, and Lonshette had to face Manchester United's backline directly!
"Foul! Foul! ”
Smalling had wanted to fight and retreat to entangle with Longshuter, but he heard a roar from his partner!
Ronshette also heard, it was Blind's reminder.
Pretty good awareness, Daley.
It's true that only a foul can stop me.
Pity...... Your reminder seems to be a little late!
As soon as Smalling wanted to reach out to foul him, he found that the figure in front of him suddenly became blurred.
Then he felt a strong wind swallow him, and a white shadow passed through his body!
Damn it!
That's TMD...... Lightning Phantom?!
-
Blind was the last defender, flailing his legs in vain to block the white shadow in the final moments.
As a teammate of Lonshette's youth team at Ajax, Blind is very clear about Lonshette's personal ability, so he didn't hesitate at all, and directly showed the soles of his shoes to this old friend with a sliding tackle!
"Blind's righteous killing of relatives is merciless!"
The United fans in the stands couldn't help but applaud the new signing, but they had to clench their hands again before they could raise them.
Blind, who has already sat down to prepare for the righteous killing of his relatives...... Failed to catch up with old friends!
Blind's sliding shovel just grazed the heel of Ronshit!
Ronshit's sprint speed with the ball is even faster than when he was at Ajax!
-
Although Blind failed to tackle Lonshit, in order to avoid the flying tackle, Lonshit also paid a little price.
The forced acceleration caused his pace to be slightly disrupted, and he had to slow down his dash and regain his balance in the slightly stumbling run.
But this time was too short, and neither Damian nor Luke Shaw could return to the position in time to make up for the defense.
Manchester United's last hope...... It can only be pinned on the goalkeeper!
-
In the face of Lonshit's one-on-one ball, if De Gea didn't feel nervous at all, it must be self-deception.
Ronshit's footsteps were getting closer, but De Gea's breathing was silent.
His attention was more focused than ever, and his vision was only the white figure.
The white shadow approached the forbidden area, and Long Shute began to shake!
Cycling?
Pendulum over?
De Gea felt the tip of his nose oozing sweat, and he clapped his hands vigorously and let out a loud roar at Longshut!
And then...... He chose to abandon the door!
Dragonsit's speed is so fast that if he does break into the box, De Gea, who is waiting for the rabbit, will have a hard time keeping up with him!
Only by attacking can you block the angle!
Attack to interrupt the opponent's rhythm!
De Gea made the right choice, but ...... There was only one thing he miscalculated.
When he made a save in the six-yard box, Lonshit suddenly pulled the ball to the left and took a position that wanted to shoot from a tight angle.
De Gea didn't dare to slack off, and the whole person rushed towards the other party!
But...... The white No. 8 pushed the ball to the middle at this time!
Pass?
De Gea turned his head to look behind him, but at this moment, his heart kept sinking!
The white No. 11 came out of the penalty area!
Robert Firmino!
The Brazilian has faltered, but he is still where he should be!
He faced the empty goal and it was the easiest way to push it!
Old Trafford's home net let out a heavy sigh!
In the 43rd minute, he was beaten by his century-old enemy!
1-0!
