Chapter 1312 In the purest way...

The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is England's national derby, a duel between two teams with the most glorious history in the history of English football.Such a game is like Real Madrid vs Barcelona in Spain, Rangers vs Celtic in Scotland, River Plate vs Boca Juniors in Argentina...

It stands to reason that such a game should be well-known, but the fact is the opposite.For a long time since the establishment of the Premier League, foreign fans did not understand what the match between Liverpool and Manchester United meant. They talked about the grievances between Ferguson and Wenger, and the hot games between Manchester United and Arsenal.Or interested in the rivalry between Jose Mourinho's Chelsea and Manchester United.

But only real Manchester United fans know that their opponents have never been Arsenal or Chelsea. Manchester United's only mortal enemy is Liverpool.

Only by completely trampling Liverpool under their feet can they feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

So the first 20 years of the Premier League were the happiest 20 years for Manchester United fans.In the past 20 years, they have stepped firmly in the muddy pond with one championship award after another, so that they have not been able to stand up.

But who would have thought that in the first year of No.20, Liverpool, which had been unable to fight back, suddenly exerted strength, stood up from the muddy mud, and overturned Manchester United who stepped on them into the mud. The brightly dressed Manchester United Immediately, his face was covered with mud, all his pride was lost, and the people on the shore laughed for a while.

How can Manchester United fans bear it?

But the first confrontation between the two sides this season, Manchester United was defeated by Liverpool 3:1 away.

This makes many Manchester United fans feel aggrieved.

Winning the home game now will be their last chance.

Manchester United fans actually know what this home game means.

Losing to Liverpool in an away game, you can still find excuses. Losing to Liverpool at home once can still be said to be an accident, but if you lose to Liverpool at home twice in a row, what is it?

There is really no way back!

※ ※ ※

Unlike the previous matches between Liverpool and Manchester United, before this game, the two sides strangely did not engage in a war of words.Ferguson did not jump out to play psychological tactics, and Chen Yingxiong also remained silent.

Although everyone felt that this kind of calm was a bit boring, their energy was also transferred to the game itself, to football itself.

So there was no war of words in this game, no conspiracy.

It was purely a football battle. The two giants of English football decided their future destiny in the simplest way.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit!

Now that the two giants have reached this level, perhaps everything they say is false. Only when they speak with their feet can they conform to their identities.Since they are the two overlords in English football, only football can be used to decide the outcome.

Game day is fast approaching.

In the crowded Old Trafford stadium, players from both sides stepped onto the field.

Manchester United fans frantically attacked the Liverpool players in the stands. They rushed to the front of the stands, raised their middle fingers at the Liverpool players, and cursed all kinds of swear words.

Liverpool fans are deaf, they're used to it.In fact, players on both sides are used to it. Manchester United will also receive such treatment when they go to Liverpool's home Anfield.

So there is nothing to make a fuss about complaining about the low quality of the fans and the uncivilized arena.

And even if Liverpool beat Manchester United here, it won't ease the situation, it will only intensify.

Everyone knows that because they are mortal enemies, they have been mortal enemies from the very beginning, and now with the passage of time, the hatred has accumulated more and more, and it has become as thick as history.This kind of hatred can't disappear at all, just like history is there, it doesn't mean that you can really treat it as if it doesn't exist if you turn a blind eye.

So no one would think about how to eliminate this hatred, they would only think about how to further deepen this hatred!
Amidst a tsunami of boos and cheers from Manchester United fans, the game began.

※ ※ ※

Both parties are old rivals, and they must have studied each other many times, so they are very familiar with each other, and there is no need to "test each other" at all, and they can directly enter the topic.

Relying on home court advantage, Manchester United launched a fierce attack on Liverpool's goal.Liverpool, in accordance with their tradition, played a defensive counterattack.

From the point of view of the scene, Manchester United has the upper hand-after all, it is their home court.

But the Liverpool fans were not in a hurry this time, and they didn't feel that kind of fear.

Because they are full of confidence in their team and in Chen Yingxiong.

Martin O'Neill's deployment for this game is very steady, he does not seek merit, but seeks nothing.Focusing on defense, it doesn't matter even if the game ends up being tied.

As long as they don't lose or concede, Liverpool will be invincible.

Of course, this is a tactical requirement.The actual situation is generally different.

The reality is that even if they lose this game, as long as it is not a big defeat, Liverpool can afford to lose.Because there is no injury, nor morale.

Morale, that's the most important thing.

If it was a fiasco, it would be a real disaster.

However, the chances of this happening are very small.Today's Liverpool is not a soft persimmon.If Manchester United wants to beat Liverpool by a large margin, even at their home court, it may not be easy.

Therefore, the Liverpool players are very relaxed. What O'Neill said before the game is to let them relax a little bit, not to put any pressure on them, and to play how they want.

It stands to reason that if such a situation occurs before the game, the team will definitely relax too much, and then lose to the opponent because of this in the game.

But such a bloody plot is impossible to happen to Liverpool.

Because Chen Yingxiong refuses dog blood!

Liverpool naturally refused to be bloody.

Liverpool's defense is very solid, no matter how indiscriminately bombed by Manchester United, their defense has not let up.

Because of Chen Yingxiong, many people think that Liverpool's strength is offense and its weakness is defense.Especially before Pepe came, Skrtel and Agger were two tall central defenders with more than enough air defense capabilities, but their turning speed was slow and they were easy to be hit behind, so Liverpool should concede a lot of goals. Defense is also a place where many teams seize and study hard.

But in fact, this is not the case. Only Chen Yingxiong came to the team in his first season. Because of Dalglish, the team conceded more goals, 43 goals.The next number of goals conceded did not exceed forty.

In the 2012-2013 season, Liverpool conceded only 28 goals, which was the team with the third fewest conceded goals in that season.

Liverpool conceded more goals last season, but only conceded 36.

In 31 rounds this season, Liverpool have only conceded 23 goals, which is currently the team with the least conceded goals in the entire league.

In fact, Liverpool's tradition is not offense, but defense.Liverpool is a team that attaches great importance to and emphasizes defense. Whether it is Liverpool under Martin O'Neill or the Liverpool team that swept Europe before, defense is very important.

They have taken it to the extreme this season.He scored a goal at the beginning, then shrank his defense after scoring a goal, and then used tenacious defense to resist the opponent's counterattack, and then made a beautiful counterattack while the opponent was heavily pressing on the counterattack, and scored a goal.After expanding the score advantage, Liverpool's defensive counterattack played more smoothly.In the end, Liverpool won the game by virtue of their defensive counterattack.

This has happened many times this season.

After the introduction of Pepe, Liverpool's defense has been further strengthened.Pepe and Skrtel have a clear division of labor. Pepe is responsible for rushing up because of his explosive power and fast speed, while Skrtel is at the back and is not easy to step forward. He is responsible for making up for Pepe at any time. s position.

Because of Skrtel's replacement, Pepe's grabbing is more unscrupulous, and the success rate is naturally higher, because he will no longer hesitate and lose the most suitable opportunity.

In front of such a line of defense is a ball-grabbing machine Inler. Gerrard is a defensive player who can attack and defend well. With a good defensive player like Lucas sitting on the bench, it is naturally impenetrable.

It is precisely because of these dedicated defensive players that players like Chen Yingxiong and Gotze can give full play to their offensive talents in the frontcourt, sending footballs into the opponent's goal time and time again, killing them.

The same is true today. In the face of Manchester United's offensive, the Liverpool team retreated, and even Chen Yingxiong retreated to the center circle.

Faced with such a dense defense, Manchester United was a little helpless.

When they couldn't start the situation, they slowed down the pace of the game and took the initiative to retreat, luring Liverpool's players to press out and tear their formation apart, so that Manchester United could find a chance.

This is a very well-established and widely used corresponding method.When facing a defending team, many teams will back and forth on the periphery to lure the opponent's players to come out to grab the ball, then pass back step by step, and finally simply pass the football directly to the goalkeeper's feet, and the goalkeeper reorganizes the attack.

The purpose of doing this is to tear apart the opponent's formation and expose them to more gaps.

This is not even the arrangement of the head coach, but an experienced professional player, something that an experienced team knows, they will automatically make some adjustments according to the situation on the field, and this adjustment is made by the head coach within the scope of authorization.

According to convention, when Manchester United retreats, Liverpool will definitely be the current pressure. Unless they make up their minds to stick to it today, they still have to score.

To score goals you have to attack.

Attack is about to come out.

After pressing out, there will be a gap.

If there is an empty space, Manchester United will seize it.

That's what United's retreat is for.

But they got one thing wrong, generally speaking, but their opponent Liverpool today is not an ordinary team.

Because there is an unusual Chen Yingxiong in this Liverpool team.
