What does Liverpool have?What else is there at Anfield?
Of course!
Here is the legend of Shankly creating the Red Army dynasty, and the legend of Shankly has influenced every generation of the Red Army. Liverpool man who defies grievance to keep The Sun out
Cui Zhen walked into Anfield with a complicated mood, including solemn reverence, and a fire of fighting spirit brewing in his heart.

One team, one stadium.It is not proud of its greatness because of its scale, but only because of the monuments that exist or have existed here.

Standing in the player tunnel at Anfield full of energy, Cui Zhen saw the famous slogan in the stadium: This is Anfield!
It seems to declare the majestic will of the Red Army shaped by Xiangshuai, and it seems to be a warning to every challenger who comes here!

Looking at the Red Army Liverpool with a new look in the new season around him, Cui Zhen is even more eager to fight.

Players from both sides line up to enter the field.

The singing echoed in Anfield, and the scene of Liverpool fans holding up their scarves and singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in unison was spectacular.

Today will be a challenge for Manchester United. Of course, Liverpool has the fighting spirit to end Manchester United's unbeaten record, so as to declare their revival! "

Neither Manchester United nor Liverpool played a very aggressive offensive after the opening, and the two sides are in a trial stage.

After 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool began to take the initiative. Their midfield organization was carried out by Brazilian player Philippe Coutinho. Sadio Manny moved forward to produce an assault effect. Good individual dribbling ability, Jordan Henderson and Wijnaldum are both wing players with relatively superior skills in the Premier League.

Manchester United also reciprocated, and began to try to threaten the offensive through the winger Mkhitaryan and Herrera.

However, neither team has created too good opportunities. Liverpool lacks a top scorer who can stand in the Premier League, and Manchester United has to face Liverpool's very tough and stable defense.

The battle between Liverpool and Manchester United has begun.

Liverpool sat on the home court at Anfield and waited for work. They took the lead in attacking and suddenly increased the rhythm of the game.

Philippe Coutinho sits in the middle and plays the role of commander, methodically launching the offensive forward. His pass success rate is very high, the direction of the pass attack is also very reasonable, and the timing of passing and running with his teammates is also just right.

This allowed Liverpool's left and right wings to frequently put pressure on Manchester United's defense, going left and right, tearing Manchester United's lateral defensive distance to the greatest extent.

Cui Zhen does not match up with Sadio Manny in defense. Both of them can be said to be attacking midfielders, so when they are in an offensive and defensive contest, the starting distance between the two is a bit far.

It is impossible for Cui Zhen to stare at Sadio Manny. The player he should pay attention to most when defending is Philippe Coutinho.

He will not give Philippe Coutinho a chance to run forward and become a threat.

As for Philippe Coutinho's pass organization in the midfield, Cui Zhen can only look at the ball and sigh. He can't rush to the frontcourt to take the initiative to press, otherwise it will separate him from Pogba. , The distance between Schneiderlin gives Sadio Manny more room for movement.

Liverpool's wing attack is relatively balanced. Regardless of the combination of Nat Haniel-Clini and Jordan-Henderson on the left, or the combination of Dejan Lovren and Wijnaldum on the right, the two wings broke out. The threats are relatively close, and it can be said that they are all very threatening, and Sadio Manny, who advances in the center, is also a midfielder who is in English football.

Conversely, on Manchester United's side, when they need to attack, Sadio Manny tried his best to interfere with Cui Zhen.But every time the offense and defense switch, turning around, the distance between him and Cui Zhen prevents Cui Zhen from being overtaken by him for physical confrontation.

And Cui Zhen kicked the ball decisively, and his ability to organize and support in the midfield is also excellent. He constantly gave Herrera and Mkhitaryan opportunities to attack Liverpool's defense from the side.

Because the wide players of the two teams are very good and have the role of midfield commander, both Cui Zhen and Philippe Coutinho can ensure the smooth attack of their own team, the midfield is too stable, and the forward selection The best direction of attack.

Therefore, on the scene, both Manchester United and Liverpool tacitly placed the main defensive area in the backcourt, without allowing the midfield line and the back line to press forward to give the opponent space behind them.

In the 17th minute, midfielder Philippe Coutinho made a long pass from the backcourt and accurately passed the ball to Jordan Henderson. Passed to Sadio Manny, who was inserted in the back, Sadio Manny hit the ball and blasted the goal heavily. The football deviated two meters from the goal post and flew into the stands.

Two minutes later, Cui Zhen sent a scalpel obliquely in front of Philippe Coutinho in the frontcourt. Herrera also cut inside and did not stop the ball. He rubbed the ball directly to the far corner of the goal. To the ball, but Herrera's shot flew out of the baseline against the outside of the post.

Cui Zhen and Philippe Coutinho continue to provide opportunities for their own offensive end. They are the guarantee and source of Manchester United and Liverpool's offensive launch!

Gradually formed a war between commanders!
Manchester United's defenders were wondering where Philippe Coutinho would pass the ball against Liverpool's attack.

Liverpool also always paid attention to Cui Zhen's ball movement when defending, and even the fans in the stands saw the ball with an unusual taste.

They watched the performance of Cui Zhen and Philippe Coutinho with eyes wide open. As the two continued to instigate their own offensive, passing the ball effectively and steadily to push their own offense to the front line, they saw a game When you meet your opponent, you will meet your best talent!

Is it really?

Philippe Coutinho will not be reconciled to just maintaining the same level of performance as Cui Zhen.He has to show more offensive talent, after all he is older than Cui Zhen.

In the 23rd minute of the game, when Philippe Coutinho passed the ball to Wijnaldum and then went forward quickly, Cui Zhen focused on observing Coutinho's running position and Liverpool's offense The situation develops.

There was a little excitement in his heart, because Cui Zhen had the same idea as Coutinho.

As a commander, it is impossible to show too much ability beyond the passing organization at the beginning of the game. It is necessary to focus on the overall situation and activate the team.

But when a steady offense fails to create great opportunities, then the display of personal ability should be unleashed.

Whether it is Liverpool or Manchester United, they have not been able to tear apart the opponent's defense simply through the cooperation of the front line, so the most common method is to insert in the back row and mobilize more offensive forces.

It is no accident that Coutinho's advance to participate in the frontcourt attack, and Cui Zhen also has this intention in his heart!

It's just that Coutinho took the lead, but this is enough to make Cui Zhen excited.

It is impossible for him to stare at Sadio Manny, but in terms of matchup, he has to freeze Coutinho who rushed to the frontcourt.

Cui Zhen, who pays close attention to the opponent's attack direction, sees the right timing. When Sadio Manny takes Pogba to the wing, creates an opening for the center, and then passes the ball to the center, hoping to pass the ball to Coutini. When Ao was under his feet, Cui Zhen rushed to the front of Coutinho decisively. When the football rolled over, Coutinho stretched out his foot to control the ball, and Cui Zhen stretched out his foot to destroy it!

boom!
The two touched the ball at the same time, and for a moment they formed opposite feet, and the football bounced out of control and flew out of the sideline during the collision and extrusion.

Because of Coutinho's first attack, Cui Chen prepared to strike back, causing Coutinho to lose his balance and fell to the ground. Cui Zhen took the initiative to pull Coutinho up, and then prepared to do sideline ball marking defense .

Coutinho turned his head and glanced at Cui Zhen who was standing less than two meters away from his body, and thought to himself: Trouble!
Cui Chen's defensive pressure may not be felt behind the center line. Cui Zhen just blocks his passing line to the center as much as possible, so most of him can only send the ball to the side.

And when he crossed the midfield and came to the frontcourt, Cui Zhen seemed to be inseparable from him, especially when he was off the ball, he seemed tepid, but when he started to run to meet, Cui Zhen's speed exploded like Felipe -Coutinho is envious and has a headache.

Cui Zhen, who is more confident and a little arrogant than before, is absolutely beyond Coutinho's thoughts.

"You can't pass the midfield!"

In Liverpool's half, Philippe Coutinho can organize and play accurate long passes, but if he wants to participate in the attack in the frontcourt, Cui Zhen will never let him succeed!
As far as the current game is concerned, Manchester United actually has the upper hand, because in the middle of the midfield, Manchester United has not yet exploded a strong offensive. Avant-garde Philippe Coutinho, turn around, what if Manchester United attack in the middle?
Three minutes later, Cui Zhen was in control of the ball at the center line. He turned and started dribbling forward. Coutinho's face sank, paying attention to the distance between himself and Milner, and then slowly approached Cui Zhen.

coming!

When there was still one meter away from Coutinho, Cui Zhen suddenly changed the direction of the ball, to the right!
Coutinho was guarding against Cui Zhen's dribbling rhythm change, and he immediately moved to the same side, but after moving a step laterally, he was shocked to find that Cui Zhen's right foot pulled the ball back to the left!
While he was stabilizing his center of gravity, Cui Zhen forcibly broke through from his side!

Two premeditated changes of direction!

Coutinho turned around and immediately wanted to foul, but Cui Zhen deliberately took the ball away from him, and then in front of Milner, Cui Zhen lightly pushed the ball horizontally.

Rooney retreated to respond, and Milner was alone on the midfielder. Rooney got a chance to kick outside the penalty area, and shot decisively!
Defender Matip used his body to block the football, and his shoulder changed the shot that seemed to go straight to the dead corner of the goal. Rooney sighed a little regretfully, and then gave Cui Zhen a thumbs up.

Cui Zhen ran towards the backcourt with a normal face, obviously running towards the position in front of Coutinho, and then turned around after returning to the center line.

Coutinho looked dignified, and his golf quotient was very high.When Cui Zhen used his personal dribbling breakthrough ability, even though he only passed him once, just once, but this time it meant that he lost one-on-one in defense!

He has a deep understanding of the gap between the two, and he will not go one-on-one with Cui Zhen time and time again.

Even a successful defense proves nothing.Although he was unwilling to do so, he still made up his mind that when Cui Zhen was dribbling forward, he would retreat to get closer to Milner, so as to compress the space and not give Cui Zhen any room to break through.

The Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, who had been sitting on the coaching bench without a smile, suddenly stood up and walked to the sidelines. He made a gesture to the players. No one knew what it meant except the Liverpool players.
