Chapter 286
"Lin Yi! Well done! Nice steal!"

"Manchester United should not think that after Kante comes off the field, Liverpool's midfield defense will completely disappear. Although Lin Yi does not defend often, it does not mean that he cannot defend! He still has the ability to steal!"

Lin Yi broke the ball and quickly passed the football out.

After Milner got the ball, he sent a through ball. Firmino countered offside. After receiving Milner's pass, he drove the ball straight in!
"This is Liverpool's counterattack! So fast!"

Liverpool's counterattack was really fast. It didn't even take five seconds from Lin Yi stealing the ball to Firmino's single-handed ball.

Manchester United's defenders did not react at all, and Firmino was already facing the attacking goalkeeper Dehra.

Then the Brazilian striker calmly fired a shot. The football flew forward against the turf, penetrated the underarm of Dehra's left arm, and then rolled into the lower left corner of the goal!

"Firmino——! A classic textbook counterattack! Liverpool took the lead with a sudden counterattack! Now Liverpool leads 2:1!"

"Haha! Manchester United were a little too confident, thinking that since Liverpool didn't have Kante, they could roam freely in the middle of the midfield. As a result, they forgot about Lin Yi's steal! Schweinsteiger's passing intention had long been blocked. Lin Yi guessed it, but Lin Yi did not press forward immediately. Instead, he stopped him from breaking through and forced him to pass the ball. When he passed the ball, Lin Yi suddenly moved forward and cut off Schweinsch. The passing route between Tiger and others! Although it looks like a simple steal, it is very sophisticated and full of technical content!"

CCTV praises Lin Yi in every possible way. He can find highlights in ordinary things and then praise him lavishly.

But this trick works very well for Chinese fans.When everyone watches the Liverpool game, they have a very important purpose, which is to hear how the commentators praise Lin Yi in various ways.

There are even fans who specially intercepted the original sound footage of the commentator praising Lin Yi and put them together so that everyone can better enjoy the praise of Lin Yi.

Firmino's goal gave Liverpool the lead.

After taking the lead, Liverpool had no intention of being conservative, or Lin Yi had no intention of being conservative and holding on to a one-goal lead.

He continued to lead Liverpool to maintain a fast pace and lay siege to Manchester United's goal.

No. 60 In the second minute, 4 minutes after Liverpool scored, Liverpool passed the football into Manchester United's small penalty area after a series of beautiful coordination. Although Firmino had his back to the goal, he very creatively planned to use his heel to score. The football hits the goal.

Fortunately, Manchester United defender Blind blocked the ball in time to prevent the football from entering the goal.

The ball hit Blind and bounced out.

In the 604th minute, Liverpool once again attacked the frontcourt, and Lin Yi distributed the football to the wing.Right back Manquillo received the ball forward, and then passed the football directly to the back point at a 45-degree angle from the right wing. Firmino appeared at the landing point again, and then volleyed!
"Firmino——"

Manchester United's goalkeeper Dehra reacted very quickly at first, jumped out and took a shot.

The football bounced high, but did not fly out. It was still in the penalty area, and the danger was not resolved!
Firmino comes up to fight for the top.

Dehra's second reaction was also quick. He jumped up against Firmino and lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand.

"Ah, it's so dangerous! Liverpool's offensive has been very fierce during this period, and Manchester United may not be able to withstand it!"

After the corner kick was taken, the football was punched out by goalkeeper Dehra and flew out of the penalty area.

Lin Yi was just outside the penalty area. As soon as he stopped the ball, Manchester United player Depay rushed up to intercept Lin Yi's ball. As a result, Lin Yi used a very hidden deep-fried meatball in place, and he pounced on it very freely. Depay was pushed too hard and passed by.

Lin Yi, who passed Depay, dribbled the ball forward and pressed towards the penalty area again.

Manchester United's defensive players swarmed out, keeping those slow-reacting Liverpool players in the penalty area. If Lin Yi wanted to pass the ball, they would be offside.

Lin Yi, who was dribbling the ball, swung his kick, intending to shoot directly from a long distance.

Carrick rushed up and tried to block Lin Yi's shot with his body.

As a result, Lin Yi used his right foot to dunk the football to the left, past Carrick.

Then he raised his right foot again, and this time it wasn't a long shot. He used the outside instep of his right foot to hit the football, and the football drew an arc and flew directly to the left rib!

There is space for Manchester United players to press forward.

When the Manchester United players saw Lin Yi passing the ball, they reflexively raised their arms to signal that Liverpool's ball was offside - no matter who received the pass, it was offside!

But neither the referee nor the linesman expressed anything about this.

When Lin Yi's football flew into the air, Salah cut in diagonally from the wing and ran behind the Manchester United defense. Then he used his chest to push the football from Lin Yi forward and dribbled the ball to the goal. In the restricted area!
"Good goal! Not offside! Salah is not offside!"

After Salah caught the ball, some Manchester United players still stood there with their arms raised, with no intention of returning to defense.

Another group of Manchester United players rushed to Salah after realizing that the referee and linesman had no expression.

But it's too late.

Salah dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. He did not pass the ball or shoot immediately. Instead, he continued to dribble and ran towards goalkeeper Dehra.

Faced with such a challenge, Dehra certainly would not give up. He decisively abandoned the goal and rushed towards Lin Yi.

But just after he left the goal, Salah, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly picked up the football!
The football passed over Dehra's head!
Then, with everyone watching, he flew towards the goal.

Manchester United defender Smalling chased back hard until he reached the goal line, then jumped up and planned to kick the football out. However, this was a very difficult action. He had to ensure that his barb action was absolutely accurate without any hesitation. Will touch the football in advance...

The result was that Smalling did not touch the football. There was a slight deviation. He missed the kick and the football also fell into the goal!
"Salah!! Oh! Lin Yi, Firmino and Salah dominated this game!"

In fact, no one knows yet what the combination of these three means.

When the football flew into the goal, the Dream Theater suddenly became quiet.

In the first half, all Manchester United fans were full of confidence in the team's performance and believed that winning the opponent at home this time would definitely not be a problem.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly in the second half, and the team lost three goals in one breath.

From one goal ahead to two goals behind...

"Although Liverpool looked a little helpless in the first half, in the second half Liverpool showed us what they were like in the first two games! And once they show such a performance, defeating Manchester United does not seem to be too unbelievable... The difference in strength between the two teams is huge.”

Salah was so excited after scoring that he ran towards the corner flag to celebrate, where Manchester United fans gathered.

The Manchester United fans, who were extremely disappointed with the team, issued harsh boos. This boo was not only for Manchester United's own players, but also for Salah.

The Egyptian put his finger in front of his lips to signal the Manchester United fans to shut up.

Of course he couldn't silence the Manchester United fans, so he got more boos.But the Egyptian didn't care and was not intimidated. He turned around and jumped on Henderson, hugging his teammates.

Liverpool's players celebrated unbridledly in front of Manchester United fans.

The Manchester United fans were itching to watch, but there was nothing they could do about it.

After the game restarted, Manchester United, which was already two goals behind, finally decided to risk everything - they were already two goals behind anyway, and if they didn't fight hard, they would lose by this score.Might as well give it a try, maybe we can create a miracle.

So next, Manchester United counterattacked wildly.

They did create some opportunities and even scored goals - in the 706th minute, Manchester United got a corner kick on the left, Bastian Schweinsteiger took the penalty, and Blind scored with a header from behind. !
Huge cheers erupted in the Dream Theater.

But the cheers were interrupted by the referee's whistle - when he signaled to nod the ball from behind in the center, Martial, who was grabbing the point in the center, fouled first, so the goal was invalid!
This penalty caused dissatisfaction among Manchester United players.

But no matter how much they protested, the referee did not change his decision.

They could only return to the game unwillingly.

Faced with Manchester United's counterattack, Liverpool launched a counterattack.

Klopp did not replace Lin Yi. Although the Champions League was approaching, the current situation was too critical and he did not dare to replace Lin Yi rashly.

Lin Yi is the team's anchor on the court. Whether it is from a technical and tactical level or a psychological level, he can make other Liverpool players feel at ease.Faced with Manchester United's crazy counterattack, they will not be in disarray.

You must know that a two-goal lead may seem like a lot, but if the opponent makes a desperate move and has better luck, it is not impossible to score two goals to equalize the score within 3 minutes...

Although Lin Yi cannot be replaced in advance, Klopp can replace players in other positions to give them a chance to rest and at the same time better protect the fruits of victory.

He replaced Firmino with Emre Can.

Emre Can played as a defensive midfielder after he came on the field. How important it is to have such a versatile player in the team...

It wasn't until the 805th minute, with little game time left, that Klopp was ready to replace Lin Yi.

In the 807th minute, there was a dead ball on the court, and Klopp replaced Lin Yi with Toure.

Not long after Lin Yi came off the field, in the 90th minute, Royce got up after being intercepted and kicked Carrick down from behind.

This action earned him a yellow card and also gave Manchester United a free kick in the frontcourt.

This was a free kick 35 meters away from the goal. With a two-goal lead and little game time left, Liverpool was very perfunctory when arranging the wall. They did not build the wall properly.

Mata came to take the free kick. Facing the sparse Liverpool lined up in the wall, he shot directly!

After the football drew a wonderful arc in the air, it went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Faced with such a world wave, Mignolet was powerless. Although he made a save, he did not touch the football at all.

The football flew into the goal!
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!! Oh my god! 35-meter direct free kick! Mata! World wave! This goal is really wonderful! I believe this goal is likely to become the best goal in this round of the league! It's so exciting! The only pity is...why didn't this goal appear a while ago? Of course, with such a wonderful goal, even if the game is lost, it is enough to make people talk for a long time..."

Klopp was shocked when he saw Mata's goal off the court.

He quickly raised his wrist to look at his watch and found that it was already the 901st minute of the game...

The injury time of this game is 4 minutes and there are 3 minutes left.

Not really safe.

He was very anxious and shouted loudly on the sidelines, asking the players to cheer up and stop taking it lightly.

It would be really unlucky to be defeated by the opponent at the last moment.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the bench.

Lin Yi was sitting there. He had been replaced and could not play again.

At the last minute, he still had reservations for the Champions League.

If Lin Yi was not replaced early, he believed that Liverpool would not even give Manchester United this free kick opportunity.

Now we can only let our players defend desperately...

After pulling a goal back and reducing the point difference to one goal, Manchester United suddenly saw hope.

Although they may not be able to win the game, at this stage of competition, any point is very important, not to mention that the opponent is still Liverpool, even if it is just a draw in the end.

So in the last few minutes, Manchester United launched a fierce attack on Liverpool's goal, hoping to equalize the score.

Liverpool, on the other hand, shrank across the board and entered the penalty area to defend.

The Theater of Dreams was also bustling with people, and Manchester United fans were cheering them on crazily.

Liverpool fans, on the other hand, had their hearts in their throats, fearing that they would be defeated by the opponent at the last moment.

Fortunately, Liverpool's players were also awakened by Mata's world-wide kick, adjusted their mentality, and responded actively.

Although it is impossible to threaten Manchester United offensively, it is still possible to shrink the defense and survive these few minutes.

Finally, at four minutes and 90 seconds of the game No. 18, a Liverpool player kicked the football into Manchester United's backcourt, and the referee then blew the whistle to end the game.

After the game, Liverpool's players celebrated the victory with great excitement. The reason why Liverpool won this game was inseparable from good luck.

If Lin Yi's kick to the world hadn't hit Carrick's feet, it's hard to say whether he would have made it in...

But football is like this, no matter what the process is, the result still depends on it.

If you win, you win, and you get three points.

It doesn’t mean winning is not good enough, winning depends on luck, so it doesn’t count as a win or points.
