891 Old wine in new bottle

Since 2010, Situ Yunbing and Mourinho have been competing in the top European football stadium for six years.

It can be said that they are the most familiar opponents to each other.

This time Mourinho's role as Manchester United head coach gives Situ Yunbing a feeling that he is more like a redemption from Chelsea's frustration and sad stepping down from the field, eager to prove his own silent counterattack.

According to his former coaching team standards, he landed in the top league to coach Chelsea, went to Inter Milan, and then to Real Madrid, and entered the palace with Chelsea in the second place. He had very high requirements for power, but when he was waiting for Manchester United, this part of power was no longer as high as before.

It is enough to show how much the collapse of Chelsea last season hit him. Even if he makes a slight concession in principle, he will prove himself as quickly as possible.

Liverpool faces Manchester United at home, and Mourinho's team is almost carved out of the same mold.

The backcourt has strict defense, the midfield guards the key defense zone and never advances aggressively. The winger has speed and the center can support it.

From Drogba, Milito, Benzema, to Diego Costa, Ibrahimovic, Robben, Etoo, Ronaldo, Hazard, and Rashford.

His team already gives people a feeling: the old wine in new bottles still tastes the same.

After the game started, Manchester United made an extreme defense and counterattack. Even Pogba was very calm and composed in the area between the front of the penalty area and the center circle. Manchester United's offense relied on Rashford on the left, Ashley Young on the right, and Ibrahimovic on the front line. Most of the time, Ashley Young had to retreat to the backcourt to participate in defense, so he saw more of Ibrahimovic and Rashford charge in the frontcourt.

Mourinho is still Mourinho, and it is undeniable that the team he coaches has indeed perfectly imprinted his style. It is just that the ever-changing European football world has made many people aesthetically tired. People who did not like him in the past naturally have more reason to criticize him.

Although Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and watched the game seriously, the relatively conservative scene did make him feel helpless towards Mourinho.

He did not expect Mourinho to open the door and let his team bombard him wantonly, but at least some unexpected or novel changes will make him excited.

However, it is because of the six-year history of confrontation that Situ Yunbing is already familiar with Mourinho's technical and tactical style and on-site command characteristics. If Mourinho does not make any changes, it means that Situ Yunbing will basically not be caught off guard psychologically. Just in terms of the situation, Liverpool naturally has done a good job of restrictions on Manchester United.

Mourinho is also familiar with Situ Yunbing, but his skills and tactics are relatively passive, so he can only be beaten first. From the perspective of calmness and error rate, Liverpool must have a slight advantage.

In the 7th minute of the game, Liverpool made a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt fast break. After receiving Lewandowski's return pass, Eriksen passed the ball over the top and sent the ball to the bottom line on the right outside the penalty area. Mbappe made a forward insertion and got away from Brinde. When the latter accelerated and approached Mbappe, Mbappe knocked back his heel and sent the ball to Azpilicueta who was inserted behind.

Azpilicueta sent another cross and the football flew into the depths of the back of the penalty area.

After Sane cut inward, he was attacked by Valencia and Bailey. After the cross ball connected after stopping, Bailey made a shovel and broke the ball out of the baseline at the critical moment!

All the fans were amazed!

The Red Devils fans were very nervous.

It is also because Manchester United has performed poorly recently.

Five minutes later, Manchester United launched a fast counterattack in the backcourt. Pogba hit the wall with Herrera in the front of the penalty area and wanted to push forward the forward dribble, but saw Casemiro blocking the front, so he decisively sent the ball to the side to find Rashford.

Even though Pogba shines in Serie A, the overall level of Serie A is really far from that of the Premier League. Moreover, today he is facing European football kings like Liverpool. It is not easy to beat Casemiro in terms of offense and defense, and there is also Kanter behind him!

In order not to let myself miss the ball, I simply took the ball early.

Rashford looked at Ibrahimovic while dribbling from the left. When he was in an offensive and defensive confrontation with Azpilicueta, Rashford wanted to break through but was entangled by the opponent. He barely protected the ball and then passed the ball to Ibrahimovic.

Manchester United's counterattack advantage has disappeared in rhythm. Ibrahimovic was pressed against Culibaly when he was in possession of the ball. He passed the ball to Ashley Young who was inserted into the wing, and the latter directly sent the ball. Rashford was completely blocked by Azpilicueta when following up at the far point in the cut and was unable to meet successfully. As a result, the football bounced to the ground and flew out of the baseline.

In the 20th minute of the game, Liverpool finally formed a threatening attack in the frontcourt. Sane passed Valencia through the fast dribbling on the left side of the frontcourt, and then passed the ball diagonally in front of Pogba in the middle of the penalty area. Lewandowski knocked the ball back, and Eriksen followed up and shot directly!

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. At the critical moment, De Gea made a deep and cross-straight and bravely saved the ball from the bottom line!

"De Gea! De Gea is seeing De Gea save again in a crisis!

Manchester United's tight defense cannot limit Liverpool's flexible attack. When Fellaini was still turning around, Eriksen had already shot!

This ball was already threatening enough. If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful save, Manchester United's goal would have been lost!

Today, Manchester United focuses on defensive counterattacks at Anfield, but so far, we still cannot see their counterattack threats!”

When Liverpool gradually adapted to Manchester United's counterattack rhythm, they did not find much threat and began to speed up the offense!

In the 25th minute of the game, Sane was surrounded by several Manchester United players during the offense from the left in the frontcourt, Ashley Young, Valencia, and Pogba who assisted in the defense of the wing!

Manchester United obviously defended very tightly in the backcourt!

But Sane was very skilled and brave, keeping a certain distance from the three defensive players. When the encirclement was about to force him into a desperate situation, Sane lightly knocked the ball back to Casemiro. At the same time, Robertson quickly went down the bottom around the outside line!

Casemiro sent out another pass over the top, and Robertson successfully counterattacked and developed an offensive advantage on the wing!

He directly changed direction and cut across the penalty area. Robertson's impact shocked Manchester United's defense line. Bayley rushed towards him quickly. At the same time, Fellaini made up for the penalty area, while Herrera blocked Eriksen at the front of the penalty area!

When Bayley hit the front, he swung the ball towards the bottom line, then shook it out of the angle and made a quick cross!

This cross from the ground was seen Mbappe quickly encircled the ball at the back point, and De Gea made a shot at the critical moment to clear the ball!

"De Gea! Or De Gea resolved the dangers in Manchester United's defense!

Liverpool's offensive acceleration effect is significant, and Manchester United is starting to be unable to withstand it!"

Although the football that was cleared was headed to the side by Ibrahimovic in the back of the middle circle, due to his opponent's interference from Benatia, the football flew to the ground slightly off and was directly cut off by Azpilicueta.

Rashford was restricted by Azpilicueta today and was very successful. The British Emperor Star, who emerged last season, seems to have lost its magical aura this season. At the same time, Mourinho's lack of contribution to defense, Martial's chances have also declined significantly.

This way of using people is very consistent with Mourinho's usual style.

Regardless of the offensive ability, you will never need to defend if you don’t have it.

Azpilicueta intercepted the ball and quickly launched a fast attack. He dribbled the ball almost unimpededly to the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt offense.

The cross was made at the 45th degree on the sideline!

Lewandowski competed for a header in the middle of the penalty area, but Smalling took the lead and headed the ball to clear the ball!

When the football that was cleared just flew to Manchester United's middle backcourt, Casemiro easily controlled the ball and launched a fast attack!

Erickson responded with his back under the attack from Fellaini and Herrera, catching all Manchester United defenders off guard and knocked the ball to the left rib of the penalty area with their left foot!

Bailey, who performed well in today's game, realized it after this moment. He was about to complete the game and turned around to chase and roll towards the football behind him, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Sane was already parallel to him!

A cold sweat suddenly emerged!

really!

When he turned completely and accelerated, Sane had already cut inward and dribbled inward and cut across to his front, which gave him no chance to complete the steal!

Everyone saw Sane completed the counter-offside and cross-cut to form a single sword!

De Gea quickly attacked, but she didn't expect Sane to volley his feet very decisively!

De Gea subconsciously flew to save, but the ball was too fast. Before he saved it, the football had already rushed into the upper right corner of the goal!

Anfield Stadium burst into earth-shaking cheers!

Sane roared passionately and rushed to celebrate!

Mourinho's face was expressionless when he put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines.

It seems that conceding a goal against Liverpool is no longer new, but it was also something that was expected.

But what made him feel unhappy was that Manchester United could not threaten when counterattacks!

Liverpool's style of playing has changed a bit compared to last season. They are not as crazy as beasts in the past, but they have become even more cruel!

"Sane shot and blasted Manchester United's goal!

De Gea is powerless to turn things around this time!

Liverpool made an amazing cooperation beyond imagination. After continuous attacks, Eriksen used a dragon to swing his tail and hit the ball with a wonderful pass!

Sane seized the opportunity to cut in strongly and then dribbled across the ball and came to the middle of the goal. De Gea abandoned the goal, but Sane was more decisive!

A shot from the spot hit the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!

This kind of ball cannot be blocked by the goalkeeper, even De Gea cannot do it!

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the England derby, and they are now leading Manchester United 1-0!
Chapter completed!
