Soccer Super Marksman

"Manchester United's attack tested Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet at the beginning, and Cui Zhen continued his unstoppable form. Diverted the attack, Herrera chose to kick the goal, it was a very high quality shot, Mignolet's save is very good! If he is a little distracted, I am afraid that Liverpool will concede the ball shortly after the opening !"

The midfielder Coutinho was unable to participate in this defense after being broken by Cui Zhen. When Manchester United was about to take a corner kick, Coutinho glanced at Cui Zhen. He regarded Cui Zhen as a rare opponent in the Premier League. I thought that reaching the Champions League with the team was a proof of strength, and it also represented that my first season in England was very successful and made great progress.

But at the beginning of the new season, whether Cui Zhen intentionally or not, in the head-to-head confrontation, Coutinho dispelled the idea of ​​becoming stronger, because the pressure he felt now was emitted by Cui Zhen invisibly. Make him more difficult than when he played against each other last season.

Manchester United's corner attack was not successful, Liverpool seized the opportunity to fight back, Wijnaldum sent a threatening through ball directly in the midfield, striker Firmino hesitated in front of Manchester United defender Damian, Bo Geba intercepted the ball from behind and Manchester United successfully defended Liverpool's fast break.

At this time, Cui Zhen did not flexibly change positions to attack, but concentrated on putting pressure on midfielder Coutinho in the middle.

He is clear-headed. Coutinho is the pivot of Liverpool's offensive and defensive transition. The more pressure Cui Zhen puts on Coutinho, he is not only oppressing Liverpool's defense, but also attacking Liverpool's offense!This effect is a double harvest!
In the 18th minute of the game, Cui Zhen crossed the ball in front of Coutinho to Mata, and then he made a move forward, Coutinho immediately retreated, but Cui Zhen stopped again, and Mata passed the ball back Cui Zhen.

At this time, Coutinho saw the distance between himself and Cui Zhen widened, and he chose to step forward again, but regretted it after taking a step.

Because he saw that while he was moving forward, Cui Zhen also exploded with acceleration and sprinted forward!

This time Coutinho was passed too easily, both of them were moving forward, facing each other, and before Coutinho had time to press, Cui Zhen happened to pass him by!

After Coutinho turned around, he was astonished to see that Cui Zhen was able to complete the change of direction freely in this wave of speeding up the ball breakthrough. Flint room for observation.

Lukaku has always been the number one target of man-marking in Liverpool's defense. Defenders Joe Gomez and Lovren will not let Lukaku play wild in Liverpool's penalty area. Cui Zhen can't send a wonderful pass to Lukaku, and He still has a good shooting space, so Cui Zhen just came by himself!

Cui Zhen took a long shot from a distance of [-] yards from the goal!The football hit Liverpool's goal like a cannonball, and Mignolet made a save, but he missed it and couldn't touch the thundering football!

boom!
The football hit the goal crossbar and bounced off.

Herrera followed up with a volley from outside the penalty area, but unfortunately he couldn't control his footwork well and fired an anti-aircraft gun.

The hearts of the Red Army fans were pounding. It was a false alarm. They did not expect that although Manchester United's offensive was not violent, the offensive that could reach the frontcourt was very threatening!

"Liverpool's goal almost fell! Cui Zhen's long-range shot hit the goal crossbar and popped out. What happened to Coutinho today? Is he out of shape? Can't tell, his passing is as accurate as ever, and his defensive moves There is no big problem, but he is always a bit slower than Cui Zhen in defense at key points, maybe Cui Zhen is too fast, his state is shocking, and his choice of breakthrough timing is amazing! Liverpool wants Think about the countermeasures carefully, if you continue to play like this, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before you lose the ball."

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp walked to the sidelines, his heart was a little heavy, and the game situation was very pessimistic.

When Liverpool hopes to restore the traditional king status in the Premier League, the expectations of the Red Army fans for the team are simple: to overthrow Manchester United's dominance!

They hope to see the result of Liverpool defeating Manchester United at Anfield, so Liverpool can't say that they must attack aggressively at home, at least not cowardly.

In particular, Chelsea played two consecutive league home games at Stamford Bridge against Manchester United, but gained a record of one draw and one loss. Last season's draw was the key to losing the title. This season's defeat also seems to be given to other teams. Alarm bells were ringing.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp can see clearly the posture of Manchester United's away game today: anti-reverse!

The reason why Liverpool's midfielder Coutinho was beaten by Cui Zhen one after another was that his defensive starting position was far away from the back line.

The main area of ​​Manchester United's defense is in the second half, and Coutinho has to take on the task of organizing the offense. It is impossible for him to stay in the dangerous area of ​​40 yards in front of the goal. The reason is obvious, the closer the distance, the higher the pass success rate.

When Coutinho is not under pressure, he presses forward, then organizes the pass, and also captures the opportunity to insert an assist when the time is right. Then, when the offense and defense transition, Coutinho's position is a little far away from the back line.

The back line is afraid to give Lukaku the space to sprint forward, and Coutinho is a bit helpless.

It is not unreasonable for Cui Zhen to single him out. Before Coutinho could retreat immediately to form a tight defense with his teammates, Cui Zhen forced Coutinho to make a defensive decision, and then used his personal ability to break through him. , which is very smart.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gestured towards midfielder Salah, who couldn't get Liverpool to drop back to defend against counter-attacks.This is Anfield.If Liverpool did not show the determination and will to beat Manchester United at home.Then the restoration of the Red Army in the mainland is empty talk and will be laughed at by the outside world.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Cui Zhen and Herrera cooperated on the left and then crossed the middle. After abruptly rushing across the front of Coutinho, he turned into a straight track. At this time, he was caught by Salah Knocked directly to the ground, the referee whistled Salah's foul.

This is an adjustment made by Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp. If Coutinho cannot form a defensive barrier, then Salah will definitely contain Manchester United's offense.Either way!
Cui Zhenlai took the direct free kick in the middle of the penalty area. He blasted an elevator ball. After the football fell, it hit the crossbar again and flew into the stands!
The hearts of Red Army fans are about to explode!

False alarm, false alarm, the number of false alarms is too many, it is scarier than the real one!
Coutinho is already going crazy.He has always been calm and steady, and he has a strong ability to withstand pressure, but he can't stop the pressure that Cui Zhen repeatedly pushes and crushes in front of him. This is like putting him under a microscope and letting the whole world watch him. joke!

Salah hesitated in his heart. On the point of restricting Cui Zhen, Liverpool had made arrangements and targets before the game.But it was disrupted by Manchester United's anti-counterattack tactics. The ideal picture should have been Wijnaldum, Coutinho, and Salah compressing the space in the middle, and then forming a triangle defense, which absolutely curbs Cui Zhen's performance. !

But Manchester United is now playing counter-defense. During the positional battle, Cui Zhen did not exert any force at all. Instead, with a little cooperation with Lingard in the midfield, he decisively sent a threatening through ball. The success rate was very low, but Manchester United did not care.

Manchester United's real attack is in the counterattack. This firstly makes it impossible for Wijnaldum to catch up with Cui Zhen after going forward. Coutinho also distanced himself from Salah. Cui Zhen almost staged it The performances of continuous breakthroughs are mostly aimed at Coutinho, making the isolated and helpless Coutinho useless.

Although the foul tactics adopted now seem to be effective, another problem comes one after another: give Manchester United more direct free kicks, who can guarantee that Manchester United will not change the score with a set kick?

Salah's hesitation is here. Liverpool's offense is not ideal, and they also lack the means to break through the dense defense.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has placed high hopes on forward Firmino, who has not performed well. It seems that this striker has been going downhill, and he is not as powerful as he was in the past few years.

Luke Shaw switched to playing as a full-back, and his assists were not very good, but his desperate efforts to defend were still convincing. He had never suffered in front of Henderson.

Mata assisting Phil Jones to stifle Mane's performance is also more effective. Liverpool's offense is cut by layers of Manchester United's defense, and after it becomes fragmented, it is difficult to play the expected power.

Seeing that Liverpool's frontcourt attack was ineffective, full-back Matip made a bold assist. His forward assist at least provided an unexpected attack point. Coutinho made a direct pass to the left of the frontcourt, and Mane controlled the ball and tore it to the side. , Phil Jones always kept the distance and did not rush up, and when the time was right, Mane crossed the ball, and Matip cut into the inside to grab the goal before Lingard came to press!

The ball was played too squarely, Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea stretched out his hand to block it, the football bounced back head-on, and Bailly turned halfway ahead of striker Firmino and swept the ball forward.

Cui Zhen nimbly turned around and rushed forward. The football rolled towards him. When he ran to the frontcourt, Liverpool's defensive players in the midfield were retreating at full speed.

After Cui Zhen took control of the ball, he continued to move forward. He did not choose to break through Coutinho, but directly sent a straight kick with his right foot!
The ball was not passed to Lukaku, nor did it penetrate the back line. It was only the misplaced midfielder defense zone between Coutinho and Salah.

The football rolled from the right side of Coutinho's body, and then passed through the left side of Salah's body. At the same time, Herrera cut into the middle from the wing and came out from behind Salah, sending Cui Zhen's pass. The ball stops!

This foot-to-the-ground pass made the Red Devils fans shout wonderfully, because Coutinho and Salah were only one step away from stealing the ball, but they were helpless when the football rolled by.

Cui Zhen ran forward immediately after passing the ball, and ran to the front where Matip was not there, and there was an empty space on the right.

Coutinho gritted his teeth and retreated quickly. He wanted to contain Cui Zhen's forward threat.

Herrera dribbled forward slowly and immediately passed the ball to Lukaku in the middle when Salah pressed from behind.

Lukaku rarely had room to play in this game, and he often fell into the double-team defense of two top defenders.

Now is no exception. He didn't choose to force it. When he was blocked, he had to find ways to create opportunities for Cui Zhen who came in behind. This is the tactical thinking instilled by the coaching staff throughout the team.

He crossed the ball to the right.Cui Zhen, who was rushing forward, stepped into the penalty area, and Coutinho also returned to the penalty area, and he always kept standing in front of Cui Zhen.

The moment Cui Zhen stopped the ball, he kicked the ball back, and Coutinho subconsciously stepped forward to press, but after taking a step, Coutinho felt that he seemed to have done something wrong!
The next second, he was dumbfounded.

Cui Zhen's next move after kicking back the football was to push the football forward again, and the football rolled between Coutinho's legs when he stepped forward!
Just as Coutinho was about to turn around, Cui Zhen had already rushed past him. Before Coutinho could harass Cui Zhen, Cui Zhen, who was as fierce as a tiger, shot out regardless of 21 or [-]!
The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the Liverpool goal with the impact of destroying everything!
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet can only look at the ball and sigh!
