"This goal is in, 1-0!"

Before Zhan Tianjun could analyze the starting lineup with Zhang Lu, he couldn't hide his excitement and clenched his fists:

"In less than five minutes of the game, both sides played a very threatening opportunity, but the final goal was the Reds Liverpool who played at home!"

Zhang Lu nodded slightly:

"Larana, Firmino, and Longshute shot three times in a row. Even a top goalkeeper like De Gea cannot withstand the roar of three cannons!"

-

Emre Jan was sitting on the bench, and he curled his lips, feeling a little complicated.

MD, if you can replace Larana, where will you get Longshute's supplementary shot?!

Coutinho is also a scumbag. He didn't choose to take a kick by himself with such a good opportunity. Didn't you compete alone before? Why are you so brave now?

Ah, boss Long, I have no other intentions!

-

Due to weather problems in the last round of the league, Rodgers actually performed a certain degree of rotation in this game. For example, he replaced Jane with Lucas, Lovren replaced Scotter with a slightly injured Scotter, and replaced Moreno with the "rich second-generation" Flanagan who returned from injury for a long time, allowing some players to take appropriate rest.

Of course, physical fitness like Milner, Henderson, and Klein are their biggest characteristics, and they don’t need to rest for a while...

Affected by the rotation, the lineup sent by Liverpool today is not actually the peak combat power. At least Flanagan's defense area will definitely be a huge loophole!

But Van Gaal must be even more dissatisfied, because his Manchester United is full of wounded soldiers!

The main central defender Phil Jones, Valencia on the right, the main midfielder Carrick, and the German vice captain Schweiingsteiger... are all lying in the hospital!

In addition, Lukesha, who was reimbursed for a season, could not even play in this game!

-

The game started again and Manchester United kicked off.

Although it was away, the Red Devils would not accept a goal behind, so they naturally launched an attack.

After watching for a few minutes, Zhan Tianjun made a brief summary:

"Manchester United's tactics do not seem to have changed much from the last two seasons. They are still passing through the midfield quickly, and will not even pass through the midfield. Instead, they start directly from the backcourt to find the striker. Zhang Zhi, I wonder if I'm right?"

"Ah," Zhang Lu nodded:

"We have commented on many Manchester United games before, and I also call Van Gaal's playing style a 'big circle' tactic. Their passes will basically not start from the middle, but will pass along the wing, or pass directly to the frontcourt. If the frontcourt has an opportunity, then hit the goal with a 'Bang'. If there is no chance, then pass the defender back and continue to fall down. It sounds like a bit of a traditional football meaning, but compared to Barcelona at its peak or Arsenal more than ten years ago, there is still nothing comparable to..."

Zhan Tianjun seemed to have endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't help but throw out his doubts:

"Zhang Zhi, according to common sense, Van Gaal is also the best coach in football. His previous resume and honors have proved that he is a head coach with very high technical and tactical skills. Although Manchester United players cannot be called the top of everyone, they are at least first-class. Why did he not play the expected performance under him for two seasons, not only did he not play as expected, but he is likely to not even be able to get the qualification for the Champions League next season?"

This is an overly professional question, and even Van Gaal himself cannot give 100% correct answers.

So after thinking for a long time, Zhang Lu could only beat up what he was best at haha:

"This is football, hehe, hehe..."

-

Probably since the last century, Manchester United's traditional playing style has not paid much attention to the control of the middle lane.

Of course there are many factors, the team's lineup, the quality of the players, the overall style of the league, and Ferguson's tactical requirements...

Manchester United's wing is always the team's most sharp weapon. Giggs and Beckham were in front of them, jointly establishing the Red Devils dynasty, and Ronaldo emerged later. In addition, Nani, who was also on the wing, made Ferguson reach the peak of his coaching career again.

Since he couldn't find a suitable midfield core, in today's game, Van Gaal gave up the midfield lane directly. His tactics were extremely simple:

The defender or goalkeeper passes Rooney for a long pass, and the captain decides whether to pass or shoot...

But you should know that the premise of this tactic is that Lu Xiaopang can defeat Lovren and Sarco in the battle to compete for landing points, or Henderson, Lucas, and even... Long Shute.

Rooney, who is over 30 years old, is no longer the powerless and unstoppable tank when he was just starting out. His legs always seem very heavy. Not to mention that compared to Long Shute, even Lucas, who had suffered major injuries and had a sharp decline in athletic ability, could hinder him.

So Manchester United's tactics naturally develop into two consequences:

The first was a long pass from Rooney, and then Liverpool easily controlled the landing point and fought back with the trend.

The second is a long pass from Martial, and then let the French demon forward use his speed to attack Liverpool's defense. Unfortunately, Lovren, who was leading by one goal, led his teammates to defend steadily in the penalty area. Unless Martial can show the breakthrough skills like Henry in the first round of the Double Red Club, he can only hit the iron plate!

In the 12th minute, Lovren headed the ball and intercepted, and Liverpool counterattacked from the middle.

The ball was quickly passed between Henderson, Lucas, Coutinho, Longshute, Larana and Firmino, and finally handed over to Milner who ran out of the gap. The midfielder made a little adjustment and swung his leg on the right rib of the penalty area!

De Gea even made a mental preparation to block the shot with his face, but with a dull sound, he saw a black and white ball whizzing directly over him!

Kicked away!

Milner held his head and was very upset. As the person with the roughest skills among Liverpool midfielders, he rarely got such a shot, but wasted by himself...

But Brind in front of him breathed a sigh of relief...

-

After a quarter of an hour of the game, everyone suddenly discovered something.

"Long Shute's position today... is not a defensive midfielder! But an offensive midfielder! He can even be called a shadow striker!"

Zhan Tianjun couldn't help laughing.

The same goes for Zhang Lu:

"Yes, we are actually very clear. For the team's performance, Long Shute played in most games as a midfielder, which can maximize Liverpool's defensive ability in the backcourt, but also greatly reduce his personal offensive data. Now facing Manchester United, he can finally be freed from the defensive task, and we are also looking forward to what kind of performance he can perform today!"

Since Manchester United has given up the midfield advancement, Long Shute will certainly not stay in the midfield stupidly, and Rodgers will not tolerate wasting the team's thigh ability in vain.

So he gained the greatest freedom of activity since the season, and he was even allowed to switch positions with Firmino!

In the 17th minute, the attack the commentator was looking forward to finally arrived.

This was another counterattack. Martial's passerby was blocked by Klein, who was desperately fighting. Milner, who assisted in the defense, found Long Shute, who had just turned around and was about to speed up.

"Long Shute, Larana...beautiful, the two of them collide with each other! Larana helps the captain complete speedup in a concerted manner! Manchester United's defense line has sounded the alarm!"

Zhan Tianjun's commentator voice became louder and louder, but then suddenly a turning point:

"Where is the ball?!"

-

Manchester United midfielder Schneiderlin reacted like this. While he was chasing back quickly, he was nervously paying attention to Long Shute's steps, and even thinking about when he could take the opportunity to grab the ball back...

But before he could finish his calculations, the ball under Long Shute's feet disappeared!

Schneiderlin quickly swept horizontally, but saw the ball appear at the feet of Liverpool striker Firmino!

Continue to chase the dragon?

Or do you jump back at Firmino?

This is a very serious problem!

-

The same problem has bothered Manchester United defenders.

For example, Smalling, the central defender who is nicknamed "captain" by Manchester United's own fans (referring to the captain of Manchester United's defense sinkhole) is more anxious than Schneiderling.

Right back Damian obviously couldn't count on it, because this guy has been proven to be a super colander by practice. He is obviously an Italian defender, but he has almost no sense of position in the defense. In addition, he is slow, how could he catch up with a red lightning like Long Shute?!

Blind on the other side was a little more stable, but... Long Shute made his way into the gap between Damian and Smalling!

In a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Smalling's mind, but all thoughts only gathered into one sentence:

Who should I defend myself?

A special dragon protection?

But the ball is at Firmino's feet!

The Brazilian striker is not a soft-legged shrimp. Once he is given a free time, De Gea will definitely tear himself!

Then go to defend Firmino?

Sorry, do you really think that Long Shute is a decoration?!

Of course, Liverpool would not give him so long to consider the gains and losses, and Smalling also made a decision based on the experience of defenders:

As a central defender, the first choice is always to defend the opponent who dribbles the ball.

So he took a step towards Firmino!

Smalling had even expected that as long as he took a step, Firmino would quickly transfer the ball, but... he had no choice!

"Firmino's straight pass! Beautiful! Long Shute succeeded in counter-offside! Single shot! Can De Gea become a hero?"

Zhan Tianjun's speech speed went faster and he finally became a cheer:

"Long Shute shot with one shot! The big and small goal passes through! This ball is in!

Even though De Gea used Hea to sit on the lotus, he still failed to block the lightning attack of the Red Army Captain! 2-0!"

-

As in the commentary, De Gea sat on the goal line.

He punched hard on the grass, but his heart was full of reluctance.

This is the most watched double red club! It is comparable to the British peak derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid!

But the goal he guarded was captured twice in less than 20 minutes by the same person!

He suddenly realized the mood of the Spanish senior Casillas many years ago.

Ronnie in the frontcourt, Saint Cassi in the backcourt...

De Gea suddenly shook his head again:

MD, at that time, Real Madrid had a Ronnie (Ronaldo), but there wasn't here!

There is only one who can neither run nor jump, and even forgets the feeling of shooting. Rooney scored 5 goals in the 22nd round of the league!
Chapter completed!
