Eight Hundred and Twentieth Four: Tiger Swallows Calf
Liverpool is getting better at Old Trafford, and the morale is even stronger after the equalizer!
When Rooney had to retreat to his own half, Rashford and Martial were a little slack in defense. Although this did not prevent the two from being brilliant in offense, if Situ Yunbing was their coach, he would not will turn a blind eye.
Offensive ability is the duty of a winger. How can a winger without offensive ability be worthy of playing?
But playing the game is not just as simple as attacking.
The era of playing uncle football has long passed. Look at the role of Ronaldo in the counter-robbery, and look at Messi's awareness of sacrificing retreat for the team to organize. The two superstars raised the definition of super in this era, and at the same time gave Best templates and standards for other players.
Rooney suddenly saw Rashford and Martial watching in the frontcourt after a counterattack failed. He suddenly shouted angrily at the two, pointing to the direction of the backcourt and ordering them to participate in the defense!
Liverpool's counterattack in the frontcourt today is very efficient. It comes from the desperate Saburo Henderson. He is the most active player in the midfield. Steal the opportunity!
In the 35th minute of the game, Vardy responded to Mbappe's cross from the front of the penalty area. He shot the ball without stopping. He deliberately hit a tricky angle, but he did not pursue ultimate power because he paid too much attention to angle control. , causing the ball to be blocked by De Gea in time when it was about to fly into the goal!
There was another exclamation at the scene!
Damian instigated a counterattack from the backcourt, and the football passed Rooney and passed to Rashford's feet in the backcourt.
This time Rashford dribbled inside quickly and came to the middle of the frontcourt early. When he encountered Kanter and Van Dijk, he also passed the ball sensibly to Martial. When the ball quickly advanced to the right of the penalty area, it was shoveled by Coulibaly!
Martial has flexible control of the ball at his feet, and at the same time the rhythm pauses, he quickly changes direction and passes the ball past Coulibaly!
Van Gaal was watching Martial's next performance with bated breath!
But after Martial passed Coulibaly, he suddenly found that Ter Stegen abandoned the door!
And it was less than 5 meters away from him!
Martial wanted to sway Ter Stegen, but he could only pass the ball towards the baseline!
After a sudden acceleration and a quick push shot, Ter Stegen struggled to save when he twisted his body as expected. When the football was about to pass him, Ter Stegen saved the ball to the bottom line with his left hand !
All the Red Devils fans hugged their heads and sighed!
"Martial missed a great opportunity!
Ter Stegen makes a crucial save!
Maybe Martial shouldn't take that step to the bottom line, either pass earlier or shoot earlier!
But after he took a step, he wanted to completely obliterate the angle of Ter Stegen's save, which was a bit unrealistic. Sure enough, in the end, Ter Stegen made a wonderful save to resolve his shot!
Manchester United missed the opportunity to lead Liverpool again at home. "
Van Gaal couldn't help turning around and looking downcast.
Manchester United corner attack.
The Liverpool army retreated to defend, and Mata's corner kick was cleared by Coulibaly's header in the middle of the goal. Rooney was defeated in the fight!
The football that was cleared to the outside of the penalty area passed through Henderson's header and passed to Coutinho's feet. The Brazilian took the lead to retreat with the ball, dodging the counterattack from the Manchester United player, and then sent it out with a diagonal kick. Go straight to the front right!
Mbappe started suddenly, the speed is staggering!
All the Red Devils fans realized that Manchester United's defense was in danger!
Damian immediately stepped forward to intercept Mbappe, but the latter chose to kick the ball when he touched the ball, and knocked across!
After the cross pass, Mbappe continued to run forward, and Vardy also kicked the ball to the ground when he responded in the middle!
The football rolled to the line of Mbappe's running position, Damian turned around and chased back, but was surprised and desperate to find that the distance between himself and Mbappe was getting farther and farther!
Blind, who did not go up to grab the header this time, rushed towards Mbappe immediately.
He is planning to foul!
But when he was less than 3 meters away from Mbappe, who was dribbling wildly, Mbappe suddenly stopped and smashed the ball back. area on the left.
Sane killed in a flash, stopped and changed direction to wipe out Schneiderlin and then dribbled forward, which is already a single-handed meeting!
Red Devils fans no longer dare to watch what happens next!
In less than ten seconds after a wave of Liverpool's counterattack, they were already approaching the city!
The moment Sane stepped into the penalty area, De Gea was already halfway through the attack, and Sane decisively chose to kick and shoot!
A precise kick shot the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal!
De Gea immediately made a save but was less than half a meter away from touching the football!
Before he fell to the ground, he had turned his head and looked towards the goal. He wasn't sure if the ball would go out of bounds!
boom!
The football bounced into the goal after hitting the inside of the right post!
Sane turned around and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate this goal for Liverpool's lead!
De Gea closed his eyes in pain.
The Manchester United generals suddenly felt their scalps tingling. From leading to being overtaken, such a change is always difficult to accept.
Situ Yunbing clapped his hands and applauded, but his expression didn't look particularly excited.
Because of a counter-attack goal, this is commonplace for Liverpool.
Manchester United's morale is high, it can't be said that they have relaxed their vigilance, but they just overestimated their current strength. Liverpool scored the second goal in the simplest way, which is nothing for Liverpool to be proud of!
"Sane single-handedly pushes the goal! Liverpool leads Manchester United 2:1!
It's really a combination of ice and fire. Martial had a chance to help Manchester United score a minute ago, but he missed the opportunity. One minute later, Liverpool counterattacked and Sane scored to help Liverpool complete the overtake!
This is football, you never know what will happen next second!
Manchester United are starting to struggle at Old Trafford!
When Liverpool fell behind, I wouldn't say that Liverpool became passive, but when Manchester United fell behind, I'm pretty sure that now it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win the game, or even finally get a draw!
They need to perform better than before! "
When Manchester United re-kicked off, Liverpool had already shifted to defensive positions. Situ Yunbing would not get carried away, because he ignored the fact that Liverpool was not much better than the opponent in this game because of the lead.
Van Gaal also reminded Manchester United to be more cautious. He didn't want Manchester United to fall into Liverpool's trap because of their arrogance!
Moreover, the current situation also forces Manchester United to make a good adjustment during the intermission.
In fact, Van Gaal can be regarded as being psychologically shadowed by the defensive counterattack. In 2010, Situ Yunbing led Monaco to beat Bayern Munich very embarrassingly in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Ribery and Robben The sky knife is useless!
And Situ Yunbing led Hamburg to play Bayern Munich in the first season. It was also a defensive counterattack, which directly made Bayern Munich, which was in turmoil at that time, even worse!
When he coached Manchester United, it can be said that he was beaten by various defensive counterattacks in the Premier League. There was Mourinho's Chelsea before, and Ranieri's Leicester City this season.
So once encountering a strong team's tight defense, Van Gaal now has some headaches, and at the same time he must become cautious.
You can't be careless, or you will be beaten by your opponent so that you can't take care of yourself.
In the last few minutes of the first half of the FA Cup quarter-finals, both teams were relatively cautious and failed to create obvious threats.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing turned and walked towards the player tunnel. When he passed by the nearby stands, no Manchester United fans booed him again. At this time, their faces were full of worry.
After returning to the locker room, Situ Yunbing made some adjustments to the problems in the first half of the game, and specifically named Guerrero, who immediately stated that he would perform better in defense in the second half!
Situ Yunbing doesn't care about the players' promises. No matter how beautiful the words are, it is useless, and some practical actions must be taken.
In the second half, after the two teams returned to the court to change sides and fight again, Van Gaal made obvious adjustments. He made the offense more layered. Rooney retreated slightly to link the offense. Martial took the initiative to respond from the wing, while Rashford's position is more forward, not limited to activities on the wing, ready to advance against offside at any time.
There is not much problem with this arrangement, but Manchester United still needs to make more changes in the offense if they want to break through Liverpool's defense.
Schneiderlin did not contribute to the offense, Mata was alone, and Herrera had the problem of going up but it was difficult to go back immediately. It was not because of lack of physical fitness or speed, but because of the awareness of the game. The defensive awareness is still very lacking.
This is equivalent to the fact that after he hits the ball in the frontcourt, the first reaction in his mind is how to run to meet it, instead of observing the opponent's player position, whether he should retreat and vigilantly predict the opponent's counterattack.
In the 51st minute of the game, Coutinho encountered a sniper attack in the frontcourt. Schneiderlin stabbed the ball when he passed the ball. Herrera immediately stepped forward and sent it diagonally.
The football flew to the front field to find Martial on the right, who was pressed by Guerrero as soon as he stopped the ball.
Situ Yunbing said to him during the halftime break that instead of passively defending and not being able to find the rhythm of the steal, and being led by the opponent and then losing someone, it is better to take the initiative to attack, even if you are passed, you can create a second attack for your teammates. Great opportunity to press.
So he did.
There was a look of relief in Situ Yunbing's eyes.
To be honest, it is impossible for him to establish a deep mentor-student relationship with every player in the first team. Guerrero belongs to the kind of mentor and apprentice to each other, but it is not the object that Situ Yunbing spends more effort on. Yun Bing's orders and instructions were never ambiguous, because he knew that being able to fight under Situ Yun Bing's command and receive a point was his best chance!
