Chapter 825 Now It's My Turn
Rarely does this situation occur, high press versus high press, and it is likely to be a muddled game.
After all, high-position pressing is a tight and tacit pressing in the opponent's half. The defense line will move forward after the midfield, but the own half will definitely be empty.
Therefore, in fact, there will be no high-position press versus high-position press. Manchester United and Liverpool cannot use this tactic at the same time.
When Valencia sent a long pass and Lukaku got the ball in the frontcourt, the Manchester United lineup had a big premise. On the one hand, it was to meet Lukaku, and on the other hand, it was trying to press high.
Lukaku passed the ball to Herrera, who was plugged in from the back row. The latter tried to distribute the ball to the left, but Mane stopped the ball a bit and was destroyed by Piszczek. Herrera and Sun Wu rushed up at the same time.
"It's a high press...Best steals the ball!"
The booing sounded again, and Sun Wu cleverly pulled the ball away from Gerrard, and then sent a long-distance ground ball across the outside of his left foot.
"This ball... Sun Wu's pass is too appropriate!" Zhang Lu watched nervously as Valencia waded the ball forward seven or eight meters, and then accelerated to bypass Moreno.
Griezmann, who came in, received a cross pass from Valencia on the right rib. He made a gesture and hit the bottom line directly. Lovren had to step back to prevent Valencia, who was advancing forward, from slipping into the penalty area from near the bottom line.
But Griezmann suddenly smashed the ball and sent a diagonal 45-degree cross before Coutinho went up. The ball passed Henderson who was defending into the penalty area.
"Griezmann's cross...Best!"
"Ooh, Joe Hart made another key save!"
Sun Wu ran all the way to get rid of Gerrard, ran diagonally into the penalty area, and suddenly appeared in front of Matip with a header, but Joe Hart stretched out his hand reflexively on the goal line, and the ball rubbed against the crossbar. Fly off the bottom line.
What a pity!
Sun Wu held his head and regretted it. Heading is also one of his shortcomings. He seldom used headers in the penalty area. He didn’t dare to use too much force for the shot just now for fear of going over, but the angle couldn’t be adjusted. A little positive, which gave Joe Hart a chance to dial the ball out.
Pochettino on the sidelines sighed in disappointment, while Klopp put his hands behind his back and was thinking about something in his heart.
Then Sun Wu took a corner kick, Phil Jones made a point forward, Joe Hart punched the ball out of the penalty area before Rojo, Di Maria took the ball and passed Herrera...
"Liverpool's counterattack...Di Maria...Gotze...Di Maria!"
Di Maria and Gotze played delicate cooperation in the middle, but the experienced old fritter Ashley Young poked the ball out first, and Valencia, who returned to defense, got the ball.
Sun Wu, who was running back, turned his head and glanced at Klopp... He thought that Liverpool would fight tit for tat, but he didn't expect Uncle Zha to choose a defensive counterattack, because Valencia took the ball and didn't pass it back, while Ku who had already run over Tinho and Firmino did not push forward.
Sun Wu tentatively reached out for the ball, and Henderson behind him immediately posted it. After Sun Wu passed the ball without stopping, he ran to the side to get the ball. Henderson was not too far away from him but stopped posting it.
Glancing at Moreno, the Spanish defender was trembling but did not push forward. Sun Wu can be sure that Pochettino chose to risk a high position to press, and Klopp's response was to withdraw the defense and fight back.
In the 65th minute, Liverpool made an adjustment. Klopp replaced Goetze with Shinji Kagawa. Both the Japanese and Coutinho can play as midfielders, but the former has a wide range of running, while the latter is mainly active in the middle and Left rib, two people can coexist in the station.
The key is that Shinji Kagawa is better than Goetze in running without the ball into the penalty area and in accelerating with the ball in the middle.
"It's very surprising. Manchester United pressed in a high position, and they grabbed it very fiercely...the ball was stolen again!" Zhang Lu said loudly: "Griezmann... shot directly!"
"It's Joe Hart again, he is simply a copy of De Gea in the first half!" Zhan Jun said with a smile: "In fact, Manchester United is a copy of Liverpool in the first half, with a large formation forward and high-intensity high positions. Pressing and Liverpool hunkered down and defended on the counter."
"Both sides have a chance..."
Zhan Jun nodded in agreement, "Now it's up to the players on both sides who can seize the opportunity. The head coach can't do much anymore."
Before the words fell, Liverpool played a very threatening counterattack. Firmino, who retreated, resisted Schneiderlin and received a direct pass from Gerrard. Instead of stopping the ball, he flicked the outside of his foot. Coutinho on the side took the ball and sent it to the right.
Shinji Kagawa, who was cruising to the right, ran all the way away from Ashley Young, and then cleverly smashed the ball on the edge of the penalty area to shake away Rojo, but at the last moment, although the Japanese cross bypassed Phil Jones, but De Gea hit the ball before Di Maria.
Just 1 minute later, the ball appeared in Liverpool's penalty area.
Griezmann cut in from the left and sent a through pass. Lukaku took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and could not turn around and could only send a return pass. Sun Wu made a gesture on the line of the penalty area and shot directly with his right foot, but the next moment, he dunked open Henderson, who blocked the hole of the gun, switched to his left foot and made a curve ball and went straight to the far corner.
"Sun Wu... shot, this time for real... Joe Hart!"
Zhan Jun was a little excited, "This is Joe Hart's seventh effective save in this game!"
Sun Wudou's curve ball was already perfect, but Joe Hart, who had a good position, made a side attack and touched it with his fingertips, and finally the ball flew out of the baseline against the far post.
The players of both sides, the coaches of both sides, and the fans of both sides are all very clear, now it depends on who can seize the opportunity... Whichever side scores first has a great chance of winning this double red meeting.
Seizing the opportunity means having a high-quality shot. This is not too difficult for Griezmann and Sun Wu who are in good shape today, but Joe Hart on the opposite side is obviously in a burst of state today.
Of course, today's Coutinho, Kagawa Shinji and Di Maria are also in good condition, but today's De Gea is also in full condition.
The two world-class goalkeepers became the protagonists on the pitch. They competed in the distance, and the two contributed as many as 13 effective saves.
The turning point appeared in the 73rd minute. Klopp on the sidelines was ready to make adjustments. He was going to replace Emre Can. He is also very good at shooting, and can also play as a central defender and full-back.
Klopp is going to replace Moreno. The Spanish full-back is being attacked by Manchester United. This side is already in jeopardy, and Moreno has a yellow card.
But at this moment, Moreno suddenly stole the ball from Valencia's feet, Schneiderlin and Sun Wu who were nearby rushed up, but Moreno did not make a big kick to clear the siege, but sent a cross to Phil who retreated. Mino.
Firmino passed the ball back with his back, and Gerrard played a very precise long-distance pass. Although Di Maria failed to receive the ball, he also interfered with Phil Jones behind him.
A red figure suddenly appeared behind Phil Jones!
"Jones missed the top, Moreno...he actually penetrated so deep!" Zhang Lu looked at this scene in surprise, "No, it's dangerous!"
Sun Wu, who failed to block Gerrard's long pass, stood still and watched Moreno catch up with the ball and enter the penalty area for a cross. Shinji Kagawa, who followed up on the other side, made a direct shot but dunked Rojo with a flying tackle. Then an inverted triangle pass, Coutinho easily pushed the ball into the dead corner.
With such a close-range shot, De Gea really has nothing to do.
The Red Army fans in the stands were celebrating crazily. Unexpectedly, Klopp waved his fists excitedly, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that the substitution was not completed.
In the loud announcement of the on-site announcer, Pochettino watched Coutinho and Shinji Kagawa kneeling in celebration with blank eyes.
At this time, a sharp shout came.
"Mauricio, we should do something!"
Sun Wu who ran over looked at Pochettino dissatisfied, "Substitution, substitution, substitution!"
Glancing at Klopp who ran past in front of him, Sun Wu gritted his teeth secretly, well, now it's finally my turn!
