1007 Mourinho's success
Compared to the shocking battle between Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester City, the England derby between Liverpool and Manchester United is completely one-sided in terms of the scene.
Liverpool suppressed Manchester United, who tried to fight back but was very pitiful in the offense. After Pogba was absent due to injury in this game, the frontcourt offense was at most Martial's breakthrough on the sidelines. Mkhitaryan occasionally came to the middle to organize and support him. Ashley Young on the right also focused more energy on defense.
Lukaku still began to habitually stage a turnover show in the top battle.
Liverpool's offenses in the frontcourt have not been effective in playing on the wing road several times. Manchester United has very tight control over the wing road area, which effectively curbed Liverpool's wing road impact.
But their counterattack could not be threatened, which made it seem like it was invincible.
After 15 minutes of the game, neither team shot. Liverpool tried hard to open the breakthrough from the wing and failed.
Manchester United continued to defend without conceding the ball.
Situ Yunbing didn't know what others felt, so he couldn't help but shake his head when he was on the sidelines.
Manchester United is too cowardly.
My real cowardly mother opened the door and got home!
He really doesn't know what Mourinho is looking forward to in the game, whether Liverpool defender is stupid or Lukaku or Martial plays a one-stop!
In the 20th minute of the game, Situ Yunbing gestured to the players on the field.
He won't wait for a miracle to happen. Since Liverpool cannot start the situation on the wing, then change the offensive style.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Liverpool attacked in the frontcourt. Mbappe was hit by Mkhitaryan and Damian after receiving the right side. He knocked the ball back diagonally to Arnold, who assisted and turned into the inward cutting track. The latter drifted the ball and cut inside to restrain Herrera. Then he knocked the ball across the middle. Matic came up to intercept Eriksen, but the Danish midfielder knocked the ball back diagonally with his heel.
Casemiro followed up with one step and adjusted it and then shot a long shot!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Due to the distance, De Gea had enough time to save. He steadily raised the ball above the crossbar!
call!
The Red Army fans in the stands applauded after sighing.
"The first shot hitting the goal in the whole game finally appeared, a long shot from Liverpool midfielder Casemiro!
It’s a pity that the shooting distance was too far. Even if the angle was tricky and the speed was not slow, it still gave goalkeeper De Gea enough time to save!
Maybe the audience now has a feeling that the excitement of this English derby is too low!
The reason is actually very simple. When Manchester United attacked, only two people tried to create opportunities in the frontcourt, Martial and Lukaku, but Lukaku was restricted by Liverpool defenders and made frequent mistakes. Martial tried two personal breakthroughs but failed.
It can be said that Manchester United's style of playing is to slow down the pace of the game and lack sufficient creative impact. Liverpool has been playing tough battles since the beginning of the game and breaking intensive defense.
There are naturally very few exciting scenes.
I think if the goal appears, the pace of the game will change.
Until then, no one can let Mourinho drive his bus away from the door.”
Mourinho was calm and seemed satisfied with the bus he drove to Anfield Stadium.
At least Griezmann was almost invisible in today's game and could not get the pass from his teammates at all!
Mbappe also tried several breakthroughs, but in the end he either had a bad chance of passing or failed the breakthrough.
Gareth Bale encountered similar problems on the left.
In the 28th minute of the game, Liverpool's midfielder patiently organized the offensive. After continuous passes, Casemiro passed the ball diagonally to the right. After Mbappe received the ball, he quickly knocked the ball back to Arnold because Manchester United's defensive attacks left him with little room for possession.
Arnold quickly made an offensive transfer and sent the ball to the left with a long diagonal pass.
Gareth Bale beat Valencia to head the ball back. When Erikson controlled the ball, Matic rushed to his front to intercept. In the narrow space, Erikson suddenly passed the ball to the left in front of the penalty area. Matic immediately saw Robertson cutting quickly and killing him.
It was too late for Matic to turn around and chase him back!
When Robertson caught up with football in the left side of the penalty area, Jones pushed outward to intercept Robertson.
Mourinho's face was solemn at this time, and Robertson's incisive running really grasped the weak links of Manchester United's defense to a certain extent.
When Manchester United pays too much attention to protecting the wing, the actual defense in front of the penalty area has declined, and Liverpool is difficult to create a very obvious threat under the repeated attacks of Eriksen and Casemiro.
But Robertson cuts inwardly differently!
This time, Robertson cut inward without hesitation in the face of the football in front of him, and decisively shot the ball!
The football shot from the outside of the left foot flew towards the far corner of the Manchester United goal with a slight inner arc!
The football seemed like a white rainbow swept over the Manchester United penalty area. De Gea rushed to his full strength, stretching his left arm to the limit, but in the end he still failed to touch the football with his left hand!
Bang!
The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
Absolutely blind spot!
Robertson turned around and rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal after scoring!
Situ Yunbing smiled on the sidelines and celebrated Robertson's goal with both fists.
The Reds fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium were even more unsuspecting to their fanatical cheers!
"Roberson! Robertson's long shot outside the penalty area penetrated De Gea's ten fingers!
This is a world-wide goal in an absolute sense!
Too exciting, so shocking!
Robertson didn't return from injury until last month after being injured in the second half of last season, and his super goal in the England derby today announced his strongest return!
Mourinho's bus was broken!
Will Manchester United change its playing style?
I think they should have made some changes!
Liverpool leads Manchester United 1-0 at home!”
Reds fans were extremely surprised by Robertson's goal!
The Red Devils fans were a little confused while feeling a little disappointed.
Is this the outcome if I keep hudding and defending, and Is this the outcome?
Then what bus is there?
But Mourinho persisted so much, persistently thinking that his bus tactics are the most suitable for Manchester United now and are the best to help Manchester United to regain glory.
But in the top-level battle, Manchester United will inevitably lose the situation. As for whether they can win the result, I am afraid that at least there seems to be no chance today.
Mourinho made gestures to the players on the sidelines, allowing them to continue to defend unswervingly.
Even if the bus is already rotten, it still needs to be put on!
Manchester United players may be a little confused themselves. If they don’t set up a bus, how should they attack?
After Mourinho has spent a full season in coaching, Manchester United may have basically not practiced offensive tactics seriously in the past season!
It is definitely not possible to attack with only the front line, but how do others participate, how to support, and how to form a threat to unexpected offensive points? If you don’t practice normally, you expect to form a tacit understanding in the game at once?
How is that possible!
The game continued, and Situ Yunbing was really a little over Manchester United's performance.
But he is still reminding players to maintain sufficient intensity and focus when defending!
Manchester United can only rely on sneak attacks if they want to score!
If Manchester United really steals one, Liverpool will be disappointed.
Mourinho also allowed Martial to strengthen his defensive contributions. Martial is older than Mbappe, but he debuted at the same time as Mbappe. The growth of the French winger has been a bit slow in the past year, but now it is beginning to develop towards mediocrity.
He has skills and speed, but he always gives people a feeling that he is too arrogant and seems to be waiting for the team to support him. His contribution to the team is obviously low!
In Situ Yunbing's eyes, many wingers whose skills and speed are not as good as him can make up for it through desperate defense and counter-attacks and active cooperation with teammates. Their overall strength and roles are stronger than Martial!
After all, Martial's positioning is not a pure shooter. A pure shooter can just wait for his teammates to feed the cake and make the ball. As long as he scores a goal, no other problems will be discussed. Scoring goals is greater than anything else, and scoring goals can cover everything, which is the most convincing performance.
But if you are not a pure shooter player, including the winger, even if you score a goal is not enough!
Unless you can score a top-level goal rate, people can ignore other functions.
Martial and Rashford will surprise people from time to time, but they cannot last, which is a big problem.
If other giants don’t score goals in three games, it will definitely be a hot topic. Even if the goal breaks the goal drought, the doubts will not disappear soon.
But it seems that a goal at Manchester United can make everyone forget their poor performances in the past, as if they can start over the next day, and such a cycle is puzzling.
Before the end of the first half, Griezmann was knocked to the ground by Smalling when he was grabbing a shot from a small angle in the penalty area. The referee refused to award a penalty and made Situ Yunbing smile bitterly on the sidelines.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Manchester United fans looked like they were lost!
"It's so ugly... Manchester United's 45-minute game is the ugly first half they have played this season!
Because they didn't shoot in the whole first half!
Even the number of dangerous attacks is single digits!
Mourinho has successfully subverted Manchester United's tradition!
This point is definitely an answer.
Just compare the Manchester United team five years ago and you can understand that Manchester United is definitely not the Manchester United in the impression of Red Devils fans!
Perhaps Manchester United's record is improving, but they have lost their traditions and have become no longer like the familiar Red Devils.
I don’t know if such a Manchester United will win a real heavyweight championship, but I think such a Manchester United will definitely not be able to raise their heads in front of Liverpool!
Chapter completed!
