In the past two seasons, when Manchester United encountered Liverpool, they were at an inherent disadvantage!

In the role of the chaser in the standings.

Before Manchester United visited Anfield this season, the Red Devils led Liverpool by as many as five points.

This is completely different from the past situation and can relieve Manchester United a lot of mental pressure.

Ferguson said before the game that Manchester United can face Liverpool more calmly than in the past two seasons. In this world-renowned England derby, Manchester United will work hard to reverse the one-sided disadvantage of Liverpool in the league in the past two seasons. .

Koeman seemed extremely low-key, after all, Fleet Street gave him a lot of mental pressure.

"Whether this game is won or lost, Liverpool will not immediately win or fall behind, this is a game between direct competitors, Liverpool will do their best! We want to bring joy to the fans, for Manchester United, we need not say much, the Reds will give everything to win."

The evening of July 10.

Liverpool waited at Anfield for the Red Devils to attack with a monstrous fighting spirit.

The fans of the Red Army and the Red Devils in the stands in the stadium have already opened up to cheer for their respective teams.

There was deafening applause at Anfield when the starters from both Manchester United and Liverpool entered the pitch.

Red Army fans must first overwhelm Manchester United in momentum!

Let them feel the horrible home atmosphere of Anfield.

"Welcome to Anfield, the first English derby of the new Premier League season will be played today.

The defending champion Liverpool's road to defending the title this season is not as smooth as last season. They suffered a defeat in the first round, and then stumbled to get two draws and four hearty victories.

For the first time in the past two years, Manchester United leads Liverpool in points against Liverpool, and the gap in the lead is not small, 5 points, which means that Manchester United can seek to retreat at Anfield. In that case, they can still lead Liverpool by 5 points.

Liverpool's starting lineup today is 4312.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baynes.

Midfield: Gerrard, Alonso, Qin Xiong, Mascherano.

Forwards: Suarez, Dirk.

Gerrard recovered well after his timely comeback. Let us see what kind of fighting power Liverpool will play at home today.

Manchester United starting 4411.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.

Midfield: Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Ji Sung Park, Fletcher, Giggs.

Forward: Rooney.

It is clear that Ferguson has learned a lesson from the disastrous defeat against Liverpool in the past several times.

Putting up the defensive combination of Phil Jones, Park Ji-sung and Fletcher in the middle of the midfield, the Red Devils and Manchester United weakened the offense, and they even gave up the traditional double striker configuration.

Rooney has to shoulder more tasks in attack today, it is a severe test for him.

Well, the game is about to start, let us enjoy this England derby with the referee blowing the whistle! "

In the bright lights of Anfield, Liverpool took the lead and Suarez licked the ball to Kevin Dirk, who passed it straight back.

The football rolled to Qin Xiong's feet.

Qin Xiong stepped on the ball and didn't move immediately. He watched the Red Devils' heroic half-court.

Every Red Army soldier knows that to shorten the gap with the top of the standings, the shortcut is actually such a 6-point battle!

Winning this game is very crucial.

One is to shorten the point gap with competitors, and two is to give teammates a defeat, which will frustrate the opponent's fighting spirit, killing two birds with one stone!

The Red Devils Manchester United, who have been frightened by Liverpool for the past two years, are finally persuaded!

I dare not put up a double striker at Anfield, and the midfielder is almost a combination of engineers and soldiers to limit Liverpool's offensive.

Perhaps it should be described as pragmatic.

Manchester United is also united to suppress Liverpool's defending ambitions at Anfield.

At least Manchester United did not fall behind at the start of the season, and they are now 5 points ahead of Liverpool in the standings, which will make them more confident.

Rooney rushed forward to grab Qin Xiong. Before he got close, Qin Xiong knocked the ball back with his heel.

After knocking the ball, Qin Xiong ran forward, and Alonso passed the ball diagonally from behind to press Baynes on the edge.

Baynes hit the wall with Qin Xiong after dribbling the ball two steps forward.

He rushed past Ashley Young, and Qin Xiong also quickly rushed past Park Ji-sung's defense zone after taking the ball.

Pu Zhixing chased back quickly, trying to keep up with Qin Xiong's speed.

When Baines dribbled the football to Smalling's defense zone, he passed the ball back diagonally.

Alonso, who followed up from behind, stopped the ball forty yards from the goal.

Park Ji-sung must then turn around and press Alonso.

Although Manchester United has focused on defense, it does not mean that they will retreat into the penalty area.

Liverpool cannot be allowed to freely control the ball back and forth outside the Manchester United penalty area.

In that case, Qin Xiong, Gerrard, and Alonso, the three long-range shooters, will bombard Manchester United's goal indiscriminately.

Park Ji-sung just moved to Alonso, who immediately passed the ball diagonally in front of the forward Gerrard.

Gerrard stepped forward to lead the ball and strode the ball two steps.

Fletcher had to move to the front of Gerrard.

Gerrard passed the ball to Qin Xiong in the middle, and after the ball was passed, he followed up with a forward run.

It is possible for him to cooperate with Qin Xiong to hit the wall!

The direction of Gerrard's advance is the right rib of the penalty area.

Evra's income in the penalty area is close to marking Gerrard.

Phil Jones recklessly rushed towards Qin Xiong, who was in possession of the ball. The new Manchester United summer aid Qin Xiong didn't pay attention to him. Of course, he and Phil Jones had also played against each other before. Jones played against Liverpool when he represented his old club.

Qin Xiong hit the ball.

He passed the ball directly to Suarez, who was on the left side of the penalty area. The moment the football left his feet, Qin Xiong quickly started to run forward.

In front of the restricted area, Gerrard and Kevin Dirk held back many Manchester United defenders, Evra, Evans, Fletcher who retreated and so on.

Suarez held Ferdinand back again.

So when Suarez responded to Qin Xiong's pass and tapped the ball with his foot, the line in front of Qin Xiong's forward drive into the penalty area was not wide, but there was enough space!

He led the ball in one go and broke through Manchester United's entire back line!

The moment he entered the penalty area, Qin Xiong raised his head and looked at the goal. De Gea, a rising star in the Spanish goalkeeper position, faced Qin Xiong who was rushing towards him with a murderous intent with a solemn expression.

They played against each other in the UEFA Super Cup, that was a year ago, and now they meet again.

But the second time they faced each other, Qin Xiong still didn't have the slightest intention of friendship, but welcomed De Gea to the Premier League with a violent volley!

BOOM! (to be continued~^~)
