Manchester United quickly adjusted under Liverpool's strong offensive.

Rooney dropped back sharply from the front line.

Koeman saw Rooney's trajectory on the sidelines, but he was a little worried.

What Liverpool are most afraid of now is the opponent's fast offensive advance from the backcourt.

Because then there would be a lot of space in Liverpool's defense.

It is more difficult to mark the opponent's fast forward players.

In the 19th minute of the game, Manchester United made a quick counterattack from the left. Evans fell to the ground and shoveled Qin Xiong's stick to the ground to the left.

Evra stopped the ball and sent the ball straight to Giggs' feet.

Giggs looked at the situation in the middle, Park Ji-sung ran forward quickly, Giggs passed the ball over to Park Ji-sung's running line.

Before Gerrard could catch up, Park Ji-sung kicked the ball, and he passed the ball to Ashley Young on the right.

At this time, Rooney was diagonally in front of Ashley Young, and Ashley Young passed the ball to Rooney without any hesitation.

Lu Xiaopang stopped the ball and turned around, dialed the ball to dodge Alonso's press, and then in front of him was the entire tight defense line of Liverpool.

The defense led by Thiago Silva prevented Rooney from dribbling forward, and he decisively took a long shot!

The football flew between Skrtel and Thiago Silva like a cannonball, and the two immediately turned their heads to look, still a little worried in their hearts.

But after seeing Reina firmly holding the ball in his arms, the two were relieved and prepared to catch Reina's hand throw.

Although the Red Devils fans regretted that Rooney's shot failed to pose a threat, Koeman was in a haze on the sidelines.

That's what he's very worried about.

Reina's decline is not accidental, because Liverpool are getting stronger and stronger, oppressing opponents makes it difficult for opponents to create offensive opportunities.

If you count Liverpool's game data in the past two seasons, you will find that the number of shots taken by opponents has shown an overall downward trend.

The field goal percentage, in particular, is also plummeting.

Perhaps in the previous season, Liverpool allowed their opponents to create around 90 shots in 10 minutes on average.

But in the last season, this number has been reduced to about 6 times.

And what about field goal percentage?

Although the fluctuations are large, the overall average is less than 35%.

That is to say, three shots, only one shot can hit the goal range.

Then Reina's pressure and challenges in the game are relatively decreasing year by year.

It is not incomprehensible that Reina, who is not a world-class goalkeeper himself, began to decline in the absence of the threat of facing opponents directly in the game.

Just like Casillas, Spain's number one goalkeeper, although he played for the giants Real Madrid, Real Madrid's defense has been very bad in the past many years. The number of Real Madrid's goals shot by opponents has always been high. Yas was able to win the Golden Glove Award because of his high-handed resistance and brave performance.

It also has to be said that Casillas's ability to maintain an excellent state for more than ten years is related to the team's poor defense, he has to stay focused, and meet challenges in every game.

This is the case in competitive sports. Without pressure, there is no motivation. Without motivation, it is like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat.

What's more, Reina has won all the honors of the club, can his aggressiveness still be the same as before?

This is what Koeman is worried about.

The position of the goalkeeper is too special.

Maybe 90 minutes of high concentration can't be exchanged for a second of performance.

And if you are a little distracted and unresponsive, it may cause a catastrophe.

Now Liverpool continues to exert strong offensive firepower on the opponent on the basis of improving formation techniques and tactics.

Opponents will have fewer chances, but once the opponent suddenly attacks, the probability of the goalkeeper's abnormal performance will soar!

For unexpected or prolonged relaxation.

The goalkeeper position needs fresh blood, a newcomer who has strength, can concentrate on the game, and is hungry for honor.

In any case, Koeman can only pin his hopes on Reina now, and hope that Reina will not make irreparable mistakes at least this season.

The sporadic counterattacks of the Red Devils still could not shake Liverpool's defense.

Some time ago, Reina was criticized by the media for his declining state. This has already sounded the alarm for him. Naturally, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to the game. If there is any trouble, he will face the enemy, and he will try his best to deal with the game.

This made Manchester United frequently shoot long shots from the outside and failed to create a murderous intent.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool had possession of the ball in the frontcourt.

Qin Xiong received the pass from Baynes on the left side of the front court. He passed the ball diagonally back to Alonso in front of Smalling, and then ran horizontally by himself. The speed was not fast, but Manchester United's defensive players Scalp tingling.

They don't know what Qin Xiong's next trajectory will be, whether he will directly cut into the penalty area or take a lateral response and shoot.

The nerves of Manchester United's defensive players were tense.

Alonso played the ball straight to the left of the box before Rooney pressed.

Qin Xiong responded in front of Phil Jones. He touched the ball first and passed the ball back diagonally again.

But this time the target of the pass is Gerrard.

He continued to run sideways and rushed past Phil Jones, who immediately went after Qin Xiong.

When Gerrard passed the ball to Qin Xiong again, Qin Xiong had fallen into the double-teaming of Phil Jones and Fletcher.

But Qin Xiong still didn't control the ball.

He knocked the ball behind him with the outside of his foot.

After passing the ball, Gerrard ran diagonally, which happened to be a misplaced and crossed running line with Qin Xiong.

That was originally Phil Jones' defense zone, but Phil Jones was attracted away by Qin Xiong.

Gerrard led the ball after running diagonally, and forced the ball in front of the penalty area.

Ferdinand had to move in front of Gerrard, and just after he moved a step, Gerrard passed the ball to Suarez who was next to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand was not unprepared. He expected that Gerrard would pass the ball to Suarez, and immediately turned and ran diagonally to block Suarez's shooting line.

But he didn't expect Suarez to kick the ball back one step, shake the space and then pass the ball lightly.

Ferdinand was dumbfounded to see Gerrard going forward into the penalty area. He subconsciously stepped out his long legs to intercept, but the legs were still not long enough!

In fact, Gerrard, who had completed a collision with Suarez, entered the penalty area and formed a one-handed goal!

Gerrard, who went to the meeting alone, took a step after waving the ball and shot hard.

The football flew straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!

De Gea is about to collapse!

He made four successful saves today, but after Liverpool created an excellent attack for the second time, he was completely powerless!

How can he block the opponent's tricky and powerful shot at a distance closer than twelve yards from the penalty kick?

Under the shocking eyes of the audience, the football flew into the lower left corner of the goal! (to be continued~^~)
