After Guardiola joined Manchester City, the war between Manchester City and Liverpool has attracted more attention than the England derby between Liverpool and Manchester United.
No matter what Manchester United think, at least Liverpool get more benefits from commercial factors.
With the arrival of Mourinho, Manchester United has become conservative because of its playing style, so the attention can maintain the previous level, entirely because of the personal influence of Mourinho, bogba and Ibrahimovic.
From a purely competitive point of view, the appreciation of the English derby has been very low.
Taking this game as an example, the first 20 minutes were constantly fouled, and the game did not go smoothly, which naturally could not show much wonderful content.
Situ Yunbing can only express helplessness and has nothing to complain about.
Playing Mourinho's team always needs patience most.
Whether the situation is passive or favorable.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Liverpool finally made a threatening shot. Mbape retreated to meet Gareth bell, but he cut in front. When mbape passed the ball to Zane, the latter sent it out with a cross. Loho leaked in the restricted area. Gareth bell directly hit the ball at the far corner of the restricted area, and the football flew straight to the near corner of the Manchester United goal, I saw de GEA jump to the bottom line with one palm!
It's wonderful!
"Gareth bell responded to sane's Cross, and a pad shot tested de GEA!
Although Spain's performance in the national team is out of standard, it is still a god level performance in the club!
It's really puzzling. It seems that de GEA's arrival in the national team is like being possessed by a rookie. Even some low-level mistakes will come out.
But in Manchester United, he always becomes the most eye-catching player in the team with his wonderful performance! "
Manchester United's counterattack is becoming more and more threatening. Although situ Yunbing is not interested in bogba, it does not mean that bogba has no strength. In particular, bogba always holds a fire in his heart and plays Liverpool. He may have more fighting spirit than any player with Red Devils DNA!
It's not so much a battle with Liverpool as bogba's confrontation with situ Yunbing. He wants to lead Manchester United to beat Liverpool and then smash situ Yunbing's slandering remarks!
Make situ Yunbing speechless!
Today, he defends tenaciously in the midfield. At the same time, he also plays a high level in the offensive organization. The ball is decisive. The route selection is basically the best route. At the same time, the passing effect is also very accurate.
This gives the United counterattack an organizational guarantee. Next, Ibrahimovic's fulcrum in the front court plays a prominent role in series offensive.
In the 27th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic came to the left side of the front court to pick up bogba's cross from the top and use his physical advantage to block azpiliqueta behind. When he controlled the ball, Machar cut in directly and didn't choose to pick up nearby.
Ibrahimovic retreated the ball when Henderson came to intercept and dodged. Then he crossed the ball to the middle area. Bogba followed up and sent the ball obliquely to the front right of the restricted area.
Msitalian quickly cut in and followed up in place. Facing the ball is a straight plug!
Machar ran all the way, and the speed had already soared to the extreme. Even if van Dijk was prepared, Machar took the lead in speed and was passive.
Machar slanted into the empty area behind kulibali and half turned to meet the ball!
The ball was powerful and heavy. If the angle was not too positive, it would be blocked directly by telstegen's palms. I'm afraid it would be in as long as the angle was a little tricky!
"Machar! Telstegen blocked Machar's shot!
Mhitanian's passing is great, and of course, bogba's over conveying.
This may not be a typical Manchester United, but it is definitely a typical Mourinho style counterattack!
Liverpool need to be alert to Manchester United's counterattack! "
The Red Devils fans in the stands sighed one after another to express their regret that the goal could not be scored.
Then applause thundered!
Situ Yunbing gestured to the team to strengthen local fixed-point blasting!
In the 32nd minute of the game, after sane was fouled by Valencia on the left, Robertson came up and directly passed the ball behind sane, and Eriksson took the initiative to take the ball and plug it into the hinterland of the left rib of the restricted area.
Mbape's clever oblique insertion made Phil Jones dizzy. When he turned around, mbape had already controlled the ball and then retreated to pass him!
Phil Jones forcibly stopped and then turned around. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground!
Mbape saw Carrick quickly retreat to the middle of the restricted area, quickly adjusted the angle and started to bang the door!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, and de GEA jumped out like a God, blocking the ball in the restricted area with one palm!
Rojo cleared the ball out of the sideline before Gareth bell made up the shot!
"De GEA, de GEA again! The front court is picturesque, the back court de GEA!
Manchester United would be an unimaginable disaster without de GEA!
Liverpool's attack was very covert. Robertson took advantage of the quick start opportunity to let Liverpool launch a fast attack. Mbape responded in the restricted area and turned around and retreated again. Phil Jones can be called an expert and brave!
Phil Jones made a fool of himself in this defense!
It's hard to say that he was shaken by mbape. It's more like he didn't turn around and fell! "
Situ Yunbing breathed out a long breath. In fact, mbape is gradually finding a feeling. Today, even though Manchester United has a dense defense, he dares to make some actions outside the reception. It is conceivable that he has made a lot of efforts in private.
In the 35th minute of the game, Manchester United's attack in the front field failed to succeed. When Carrick passed a long pass to find Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball a little too much this time under the interference of Van Dijk, which led Kanter to walk the ball first when the football landed. Although Ibrahimovic immediately made a tactical foul, Kanter swept the ball to the side at the moment of falling to the ground. In this way, The referee signaled the game to continue according to the principle of favorable attack.
Azpiliquetta quickly crossed the ball on the right side and killed the half court. When encountering the frontal interception of bogba's auxiliary defense side, azpiliquetta resolutely passed the ball straight ahead. Gareth bell withdrew and took the initiative. When taking the initiative, he sent the ball to Henderson's feet with a cross.
Henderson faced Carrick's frontal blockade. He calmly skewed the ball to the left in front of the restricted area. Eriksson inserted in front, made an emergency stop, shifted the ball to cross cut, got rid of the pressure from Herrera, and directly kicked the door!
The football flies straight to the lower right corner of the goal like a loaded shell!
De GEA was unable to turn back this time. He could only turn his head and look at the angle of the football flying. It was too fast and too sudden!
While de Heya was desperate, the football wiped the outside of the right gate post and flew out of the bottom line under the attention of the world!
Eriksson looked up and sighed, lost.
"Wow! Eriksson's shot nearly broke Manchester United's city gate!
Unfortunately, it's so bad to slide through the door!
The referee warned Ibrahimovic to settle his previous foul against Cantor, but it was obviously to take care of the mood of the home team Manchester United. This foul was not given a card! "
Although Mourinho looks calm, his palms are full of sweat!
He knows that if Liverpool take the lead in scoring a goal away from home, then Manchester United will be in danger at home!
With the end of the first half of the game, Manchester United entered the whole army defense stage earlier than in the regular game.
It has become unrealistic for Liverpool to transport shells into the restricted area. When Robertson suddenly assisted the front court and turned inward to receive Henderson's pass, his long-range shot was very threatening.
But I still failed to pass the de GEA level in the end!
When de GEA raised the ball above the crossbar in a standard posture, the Red Devils fans in the stands of Old Trafford applauded de GEA wildly!
"De GEA made another wonderful save, or it may have been his routine. Liverpool played a tough battle away today and really fell into a hard battle.
But judging from the situation, Liverpool still have the initiative.
I think if levandovsky can play, then the Manchester United defence will be in greater trouble. Unfortunately, levandovsky is expected to recover at the end of the month. He failed to catch up with the English Derby! "
Before the end of the first half of the game, Manchester United got a great opportunity to counterattack. When Machar ran diagonally from the side to the middle, bogba created a good opportunity for Machar to pass accurately and long in the backcourt.
But because the formation was too delayed, no other players in Manchester United could follow up. Machar fought alone and suddenly accelerated to change direction in the promotion, which wiped off van Dijk, but then he was intercepted by kulibali!
Van Dijk's grab is to force Machar to change the ball control so that kulibali has better interception opportunities, which can be reflected by the level of defense.
Hoo!
Red Devils fans sigh with regret. Machar's opportunity can't be said to be absolutely good, but it's also very good.
Because the offensive space is very open, if Liverpool stars are given such a chance, whether sane or mbape, or Gareth bell, Liverpool may have a great chance to become a single knife and score.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game, situ Yunbing reluctantly raised his eyebrows, then turned around and walked along the sideline to the player channel exit in the corner of the court.
Red Devils fans in the nearby stands were shouting at him.
It seems that the draw in the first half let the Red Devils fans see great hope!
They think Manchester United held Liverpool back to a great extent in the game today!
This is indeed a good place for Manchester United and Mourinho's strength.
After all, no one will say that Mourinho's team can break through whose tenacious and strong defense, but it will always say that Mourinho's team will make which team with strong attack stumble!
Situ Yunbing ignored the cries of Manchester United fans. His mentality was normal and relaxed.
Mourinho must have great pressure.
It's hard to say that Manchester United have solved all the defensive problems, but it's a good sign that they didn't lose the ball in the first half.
Now is it time to think about how to win?
