Soccer Super Marksman

As an excellent offensive organizer, Cui Zhen did not launch a very strong offensive at the beginning, but he paved the way for the previous offensive.

Cui Zhen is not sure whether Liverpool has noticed it?Do you think that your forward dribbling breakthrough is the final trump card?
When they were only two meters away from Coutinho and Milner, the positions of Coutinho and Milner changed slightly. Coutinho was about to step forward, and Milner waited for the opportunity behind. They waited for Cui Zhen breakthrough.

Coutinho can be passed, and Milner will steal Cui Zhen's breakthrough at the right time!
Cui Zhen waved the ball to the right. Coutinho did not step forward, but the center of gravity of his body changed with Cui Zhen's change of direction. Coutinho had something to rely on in his heart: Milner, it's your turn!

But Milner turned pale with shock as soon as he moved.Because Cui Zhen's next move after pulling the ball was not to break through coherently, but to knock back behind with his heels!Borba, who seemed to descend from the sky behind Cui Zhen, suddenly killed him!
Coutinho was terrified, and Milner immediately turned his attention to Borba.

The first time Borba touched the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the side, and then decisively advanced into the penalty area!
Milner and Coutinho immediately retreated, and both were worried that Borba's advance would pose a huge threat.

But at the moment when he retreated to the restricted area, Coutinho suddenly thought of a chilling question: Where is Cui Zhen?

Yes, Cui Zhen did not enter the restricted area!
Coutinho suddenly turned his head and saw that Mkhitaryan passed the ball back to the middle of the penalty area. Cui Zhen was there, less than [-] yards away from the goal and unmarked.The perfect long shot kicker opportunity!

Coutinho pushed out again, and behind Cui Zhen, Sadio Manny chased back at full speed.Seeing that there were only three meters left to interfere with Cui Zhen, but it seemed that it was too late.

This is the first time for Liverpool to play against Cui Zhen, but for a coach who pursues perfection in details, how can he ignore Cui Zhen's ability?

Coach Jurgen Klopp has told the generals of Liverpool that Cui Zhen must be restricted from taking long shots from the outside!
But at this moment, they couldn't stop Cui Zhen from taking a long shot. Defenders Matip and Alberto Moreno moved inwards, trying to reduce the angle of Cui Zhen's shot. Milner also moved in front of Cui Zhen. They were trying Block Cui Zhen's vision with his body.

Unless your long-range shot is extremely tricky and scores a world wave, then we have nothing to say, otherwise this long-range shot has an 80% chance of being blocked by our bodies!
When Cui Zhen's right foot touched the ball, everyone in Liverpool's defense was dumbfounded!

Mirror pass!

Cui Zhen's self-created mirror image pass, a pass full of shocking visual sense!

The middle of the Liverpool penalty area was overcrowded, but there was a huge gap on the side of the penalty area. After Cui Zhen's mirror pass was launched, the football flew diagonally, bypassed the heads of the defenders, and landed on the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, Mkhitaryan got rid of the defender Clini, went straight to the inside and succeeded in anti-offside. The only thing blocking him was the goalkeeper Mignolet in front of the goal line. Right foot!

And the football had just landed at his feet, and with a bang, the football flew towards Liverpool's goal. Unexpectedly, goalkeeper Mignolet jumped up on the spot and blocked the ball with one hand!
Before the Red Army fans at Anfield had time to cheer for goalkeeper Mignolet, they saw someone in front of the goal send the ball into the goal!

Rooney!

When Mkhitaryan hit the goal with a header, defender Matip rescued him. Rooney, who had been trapped by defenders Alberto Moreno and Matip, was liberated and rushed towards the goal with his forward instinct. Whether it's a follow-up shot or a response to Mkhitaryan's shot, he should do this, and in the end, he swept the ball into the goal in front of Mignolet!
Liverpool players feel extremely unwilling if they are hit hard!

Coutinho looked at Cui Zhen with admiration.

The visual enjoyment brought by Cui Zhen's mirror-image pass is extraordinary. The swiftness of the feinted long-range shot suddenly turns into agility at the touch of the ball. It seems to be able to freeze the opponent's mind in an instant, which is unbelievable!

And his overall view is really extraordinary. In that situation, he saw the situation clearly and passed the ball to the most threatening teammate. This ability is admirable!

When Cui Zhen was running towards Rooney, he clapped heavily with Borba on the way.

"Manchester United equalized the score before the end of the first half! In the middle, Cui Zhen instigated a fast break, and finally he used his own stunt mirror pass to send a very artistic football to Mkhitaryan. Unfortunately, Mkhitaryan Liang's attack did not score the ball, but fortunately, Rooney made a supplementary shot in front of the goal, another pleasing fast break for Manchester United was not wasted!"

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, while Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp frowned slightly, took out a small notebook and wrote down something focused on it.

The first half ended in a tie, and the two teams walked back to the locker room.

Mourinho did not make any offensive adjustments. He emphasized defense. Although Schneiderlin is not in good physical condition, Mourinho firmly believes that his good mentality, willpower, and experience are indispensable. It is lacking, and no one can replace it. If it is replaced by another midfielder under the impact of the first half, it may have already collapsed and does not know how to face the game.

Returning to the field in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Liverpool was still trying to focus on Schneiderlin at the beginning of the second half, but the support of Borba and the back line prevented Liverpool from receiving better results.

Cui Zhen hoped to launch a wave of surprise attacks, and launched a fast break as soon as the second half came up. He was keenly aware that Liverpool seemed to no longer focus on restricting himself from long-range shots from the outside. His connection to the wings.

The coach Jurgen Klopp probably saw that it was impossible to prevent Cui Zhen from shooting from the outside. Instead of letting the players focus on him, trying to limit his long-range shots failed, he was used by Cui Zhen instead. , then it is better not to do this, take the risk of being shot by the opponent from a long distance, cut off the performance of other players, and cut Manchester United's offensive formation should be more effective.

Cui Zhen tried two long-range shots from the outside, one shot flew, and the other was successfully saved by goalkeeper Mignolet.

He wants to see if Liverpool will change their defensive strategy because of his own long-range threat.

As a result, Cui Zhen saw that Liverpool's defense did not change at all, and still focused on compressing space and cutting him off from the two wings.

However, his long-range threat still made Jurgen Klopp stand up from the coaching bench. Jurgen Klopp walked to the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, as if he hadn't done anything, just glanced at the field , and then calmly walked back and sat down.

But Liverpool's offense began to undergo earth-shaking changes!

Coutinho still didn't go to the frontcourt for partial cooperation. He sat in the middle and backcourt to organize, but his organization seemed to have lost its bright spots.

He actually hoisted the ball into Manchester United's penalty area!And even if he takes the ball to the wing, full-backs Clini and Dejan Lovren will kick the ball at 45 degrees, while Jordan Henderson and Wijnaldum are more inclined to pass from the bottom!

Of course they are looking for striker Firmino or Sadio Mane in the penalty area.

But playing like this seems to have returned to the British long pass tactic.This may be a tactic that Liverpool once used, but the effect will not be very good, making the team lose its speciality in the Premier League.

Cui Zhen was quite distraught for a moment.

He doesn't understand that the opposing coach Jurgen Klopp will let the team play like this?But Liverpool is so unswervingly adopting this style of play.

Although striker Firmino is 181 cm tall, he is not strong enough. Although his offensive ability is extremely strong, it is still a bit difficult to think that he can make trouble in front of Manchester United's back line!

So what does Liverpool want to do! ?

The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands were confused, and everyone whispered uneasily.

Seeing Liverpool constantly attacking Manchester United's defense with long passes, this is a very typical British style of play, but if Liverpool want to beat Manchester United in this way, then why do they need coach Jurgen Klopp?Any English-style coach can make the team play like this, and it may be better than the punching tactic designed by Jurgen Klopp!

Manchester United's offense seems a bit fragmented. Liverpool's overall defensive consistency is commendable. If Herrera or Mkhitaryan is on the wing, it is easy to be cut and isolated by the opponent. If they lean towards the center, this area will be denser and difficult display.

After the offense hits the side, it is difficult to turn back to the center. Cui Zhen and Borba cooperate very well in the center, constantly trying to penetrate into Liverpool's penalty area with long-range shots or hitting the wall.

In the 58th minute of the game, Cui Zhen and Borba made consecutive two-for-one cooperation in the frontcourt. Cui Zhen ran laterally in front of the penalty area to drive away Coutinho, and Borba sent a goal for Rooney in front of Milner. Nice pass with one foot.

Rooney faced Alberto Moreno in the penalty area, gently flicked the ball sideways, and he shot from a small angle. This is a rush shot, and the emphasis is on surprise.

In order not to be destroyed by the opponent, Rooney failed to exert force, the angle was very tricky, the direction of the football rolling was the dead corner of the lower left corner of the goal, but the goalkeeper Mignolet moved two steps to make a save, and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand .

Three minutes later, Liverpool's punching tactics were still unsuccessful.

Seizing an opportunity when Cui Zhen tried to pass the ball directly to Herrera but was cut off by Dejan Lovren, Coutinho directly counterattacked with a long pass after receiving the pass from his teammate in the backcourt.

Forward Firmino bravely rushed to the ball in the penalty area, but he was obviously not Bailey's opponent.But under the interference of his close pressing.Bailey's forward header was disturbed.The ejected football flew between Schneiderlin and Borba. At this moment, there was a lot of space between the midfielder and the defender, because the two midfielders were fighting for the second spot.

Cui Zhen's first task during the trot back was to mark Coutinho's forward drive, and although Coutinho ran forward, he did not show any signs of entering the Manchester United half, which gave Cui Zhen more Focus on observing your teammates' defense this time.

It doesn't matter if you look carefully, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
