Chapter 274 Abnormal
"Hello, audience friends, this is Sky TV, and I'm your old friend Morris."

"I'm Raman, we meet again on the weekend."

"Today we are explaining to you the focus of the No.30 round of the Premier League, the English derby-Manchester United vs Liverpool. This game was played at Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford. Today not only is the stadium full of seats, but also There were also Manchester United fans gathered outside the stadium, and they gathered around the big screen in the square, cheering for their beloved team outside the stadium!"

"The two teams have just finished warming up, and are now making final preparations in the locker room, and we have seized the time to introduce to you the list of players from both sides participating in this game."

"Manchester United is still in a 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Ferdinand, Van Dijk, Alonso and Jones, midfielders Nainggolan, Carrick, Mahrez and Nani, striker is Sa Rah and Icardi. The seven substitute players are: De Gea, Smalling, Ashley Young, Valencia, Shinji Kagawa, Martial and Giggs."

"Kintag used a lot of substitute players in this game. I think it's because of the intensive competition recently, so Kintag carried out a tactical rotation. On the back line, because Rafael was injured, Jones replaced him for two consecutive games. The starting position, and Ferdinand also returned to the starting list today, and his partner is the young Van Dijk; as for the midfielders, Kanter, De Bruyne and Martial all got a rotation in this game. Ingolan, Carrick and Nani played instead of them; Rooney and Van Persie, the main attacking combination on the front line, did not start, and were replaced by two young players, Salah and Icardi. It seems that Manchester United is full of vitality today. "

Morris carefully analyzed Manchester United's lineup.

But Raman shook his head: "Morris, I think this game is likely to become a watershed for winning the Premier League this season. Another game that starts at the same time today, Manchester City is a guest at Hull City. If there is no accident, Manchester City must be able to win the opponent. On the other hand, Manchester United's lineup today, almost all the main players have been replaced. The current Manchester United substitute lineup is not Liverpool's opponent at all. They are likely to suffer a defeat at home today. In this case, the points gap between Manchester United and Manchester City will become 7 points again, and the situation of winning the league championship is in jeopardy again."

Morris did not express his opinion, he continued to introduce Liverpool's starting lineup to the TV audience: "Liverpool played a 4-3-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Mignolet; defenceSkrtel And Agger, Glenn Johnson and Flanagan on the left and one on the right; the three defensive midfielders are Gerrard, Joe Allen and Henderson, Gerrard is in the middle, Joe Allen and Henderson One on the left and one on the right; Sterling and Sturridge are in the front midfielder position, Suarez is the single arrow forward. The 7 substitute players are Coutinho, Lucas, Aspas, Brad Jones, Sacco, Moses and Ali Sissoko."

拉曼看着利物浦的首发阵容，有些纳闷：“这场比赛利物浦的首发阵容有些奇怪，他们之前一直使用4-3-3的进攻阵型，为什么这场比赛突然换成了4-3-2-1？这个疑问让我们通过比赛来解开吧。”

"Players from both sides have entered the field!"

"Kintiger and Rodgers met outside the player tunnel. They shook hands symbolically, and then went to the coaching bench. It seems that the two of them are really incompatible."

"The players on both sides return to their positions, and with the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"In this game, Manchester United kicked off first. They did not rush forward, but controlled the ball in the midfield and looked for the opponent's space. The two forwards Salah and Icardi did not go too deep into the hinterland of Liverpool, but Drop back in front of the midfield and coordinate with the midfielders."

"At this time, Liverpool didn't rush up easily. Their formation was very stable. Except for Suarez who killed near Manchester United's penalty area, the other players were all around the center circle to maintain the stability of the formation."

"It seems that the two teams' plan to start the game is to play steadily, without any intention of attacking."

At this time, Rodgers on the coaching bench of the visiting team was a little surprised. He thought that Manchester United would start the game and try to take advantage of the home court to score the first goal, but he did not expect that Manchester United had no intention of moving forward after the opening. On the ground, he patiently controlled the ball and looked for opportunities to attack.

This was really beyond Rogers' expectation. He turned his head and looked at the position of the home team's coaching bench. Jin Taige was in the crowd at this time, and Rogers couldn't see him, but the entire Manchester United coaching bench was very calm, and even one standing up No one was there, they were whispering about the game with relaxed expressions.

In the 15th minute of the game, the situation on the court remained unchanged from the opening stage. Liverpool mainly defended, and Manchester United played backwards in midfield.The two teams were not in a hurry, and played slowly, as if this was just a friendly match.

"Morris, I think Manchester United is very abnormal today. From the beginning to the present, they have been holding the ball in the midfield. When they were fighting Liverpool in the midfield just now, they obviously had the opportunity to attack forward, but they still did it. I chose to pass the ball back and continue to fall in the midfield. What's the situation? Doesn't Kim Tago want to score?"

"Raman, as a die-hard Manchester United fan, I can't understand Manchester United today. It stands to reason that Manchester United should take advantage of the home court to attack and win Liverpool. After all, in the first two meetings this season. , Manchester United have won the game, they should have a great psychological advantage over Liverpool."

Morris and Raman couldn't understand it, and Rogers was even more confused. Now the game is almost 20 minutes away, and Manchester United has no sign of attacking at all.They passed through the midfield and handed the ball to Salah and Icardi in front. As soon as they got the ball, Liverpool's defense surrounded them. The two of them were not in a hurry to move forward, but continued to pass back. Look for opportunities in midfield.This has happened three or four times in a row.

Rogers looked at the situation on the field in a daze: What is Kim Tag's Manchester United doing?Don't they want to score goals?Don't they want to win?
Thinking of this, Rogers couldn't sit still anymore. He stood on the sidelines and observed the situation of Manchester United at close range.

At this time, Kintag smiled when he saw Rogers' actions, and said to Scholes and Phelan next to him: "Rodgers can't sit still. I guess it won't take long for him to make tactical adjustments." , let's wait and see."
