Chapter 1008 What to fight for?

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing did not make major adjustments to the team. In fact, Liverpool performed very well both defensively and offensively. As long as there are no mistakes, Manchester United basically has no chance.

Manchester United's zero shots in the first half is the best proof!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Red Devils fans in the stands of Anfield looked worried. They were obviously disappointed by Manchester United's performance in the first half, and at the same time they had an ominous premonition about the future!

Arsenal lost to Liverpool, but Arsenal performed very well. Although Manchester City failed to win Liverpool at home, they once overtook the score. They played back and forth with Liverpool, but Manchester United faced Liverpool. It is that they have no power to fight back at all, and even give people an illusion that they did not want to beat Liverpool in the past!
Is this still the Manchester United team they loved so much before?
If football has no passion and fun other than victory, then what is the meaning of football to fans?

After the start of the second half of the game, the rhythm of the game was still under Liverpool's control. Manchester United still did not think about grabbing control in the midfield, nor did they start from the defense to speed up and disrupt Liverpool's rhythm.

They looked like they were facing the game with a one-goal lead or a draw.

Liverpool has repeatedly attacked, and the quality of the offense cannot be considered very high. After all, Manchester United has further strengthened its defense, and Martial's harassment in the midfield still has a certain effect.

But if the game continues like this, it seems that Manchester United still has no chance.

Now I am afraid that many neutral fans will very much approve of Situ Yunbing's contempt for Mourinho before the game!
Such a Manchester United has indeed lost its former style, even if their ranking in the league seems to return to a position very close to the past, and there is even hope to return to their former leading position.

Liverpool strengthened the long-range shots in the midfield, and the goal in the first half also came from long-range shots from the front of the penalty area!
Manchester United had to reinforce the central area in front of the penalty area, and the wing defense could only coordinate accordingly.

This has caused certain flaws in their side defense, the key lies in the grasp of rhythm and timing.

After several consecutive long shots failed to create a threat, in the 62nd minute of the game, Gareth Bale quickly advanced from the left, Lewandowski knocked the ball back in the middle of the penalty area, and Eriksson made a An over-the-top pass to send the ball into the lane of Gareth Bale's run.

Gareth Bell, who cut in from the outside line, turned directly to the chest and unloaded the ball into the penalty area when Valencia returned to the defense.
The speed of the ball was too fast, and the defenders in front of Manchester United had no time to block it. De Gea did not dare to attack the ball, for fear that he would step on the wrong rhythm and be outflanked by Griezmann and score the ball, but Griezmann shoveled in. The shot was a beat slower!
When the football flew in front of the back post, a figure galloped towards it, and the arch of his right foot volleyed and sent the ball into the goal!
The audience took a closer look!
Mbappe!
"Mbappe has scored! OMG! The Premier League has scored 8 consecutive rounds! The young French superstar's state in the new season is just beyond the charts!
He is expected to hit the Premier League consecutive scoring record!
Manchester United trailing 0-2 at Anfield. Will Mourinho make tactical changes?
Will Manchester United continue to defend? "

All the fans of the Red Army were cheering for Mbappe, as if they were witnessing the child grow into a man of indomitable spirit!
Situ Yunbing's attention was on Mourinho. He was really curious about what choice Mourinho would make when Manchester United had no way out.

The fact is obvious, when one goal is behind, Manchester United can defend, because as long as they score a goal before the end of the game, they can equalize the score. Manchester United can go all out in the last 5 minutes, the last 3 minutes to fight a wave of Jedi counterattacks. It's just a pity.

But in the state of two goals behind, the premise of the Jedi's counterattack is to get back one goal first!
If you can't get back a goal, then Manchester United's continued defense will be meaningless, it will only make time less and less, and it will be more and more unfavorable to them!
But what made Situ Yunbing uninterested was that Mourinho did not make any adjustments.

The Manchester United players on the field also felt somewhat frustrated.

They can feel the huge gap with Liverpool, and this gap is precisely what the standings cannot reflect!

Liverpool continued to attack according to the previous rhythm. Situ Yunbing replaced Griezmann in the 65th minute of the game.

Under the intensive defense of the opponent today, Griezmann did not find his form.

Maybe it's because he played defensively at Atletico Madrid in the past few years that he has forgotten how to attack when he played for Hamburg.

Obviously, Griezmann still needs to strengthen a lot, and adaptation is also one aspect.

In relatively open games, his performance is not much problem, and he is easy to stand out, but when playing against relatively conservative opponents, his performance is significantly lower than expected.

Situ Yunbing is patient, after all, he is not the only bet on the striker.

There are many frontline soldiers and there are plenty of space for Situ Yun's troops to line up.

Sane came off the bench and Mbappe moved to the center forward.

Gareth Bale was on the right and Sane was on the left.

There will be more changes in Liverpool's wing attack, that is, the threat of wingers dribbling inside.

Manchester United still stood still, and many Red Devils fans in the stands folded their arms and frowned, very puzzled about what happened to the team's performance today.

No courage at all!
What a coward!

Mourinho has a serious face, and no one may understand the bitterness in his heart.

Just because he realizes the huge gap between Manchester United and Liverpool, in the context of the team's strong start in the first 7 rounds, he will try his best to avoid a defeat at Anfield!
He knows what will happen if the team tries to confront Liverpool head-on!
Will definitely be killed by Liverpool!
The game continued, and Liverpool's offensive was in full swing. Although the frequency of sending threatening balls into the penalty area was reduced, the long-range shots from the outside were still in full swing. Resist and show bravery!

When Manchester United stepped up their sweep of the middle of the penalty area, Liverpool's two full-backs began to pass frequently from the bottom to deliver shells to Mbappe.

However, the threat of crossing from the wing today is not high.

After 80 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Mbappe with Henderson.

There is still a Champions League game in four days, and he needs to let the team control their physical consumption.

At this stage of the game, the dust has basically settled.

Manchester United can't make any waves.

In the second half, they only had one shot in sports and missed the goal, and a direct free kick was easily confiscated by Ter Stegen.

That's it.

Ter Stegen is the most leisurely player on the field. In the second half, due to Martial's starting position in the midfield, the frequency of dribbling breakthroughs decreased, and the pass error rate increased instead, because he basically could only cross or forward. The risk of passing back is too great.

Lukaku is still in a lost state.

When the Red Army fans sang the team anthem again at Anfield, Manchester United fans began to fall silent.

This defeat is very useless!

"The game went into stoppage time, Liverpool still lead Manchester United 2-0, the Red Devils Manchester United did not pose any threat at Anfield, not even once!

It's hard to believe that Manchester United is on the same level as Liverpool in the standings!
And the real gap will be reflected after this round!
The shots were frequently shown to Mourinho, and he seemed to be questioning: Why didn't Manchester United have the courage to launch a real impact and challenge to Liverpool?
Is Manchester United really aiming for the title this season?

If you don't even have courage in a direct dialogue with Liverpool, then what can you use to compete for the championship?
Klopp dared to announce the championship. Even if Arsenal lost to Liverpool, they lost very heroically. Apart from the loss, we can see the highlights of Arsenal's overall performance!

But what is the significance of Manchester United's defeat?They have absolutely nothing to show for it!
If we recall Situ Yunbing’s remarks at the pre-match press conference yesterday, then we can conclude that Liverpool knew their opponents well before the game, and the situation they faced in the game did not surprise them. A place to create panic!

Mourinho's tactics, formations, and on-the-spot dispatches are no secrets to Situ Yunbing!

It's really ridiculous for such Manchester United to want to compete for the championship! "

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Mourinho turned around and walked into the player tunnel first. He had no idea of ​​shaking hands with Liverpool coach Situ Yunbing after the game.

Situ Yunbing did not go to other Manchester United coaches to shake hands after the game.

Deafening cheers erupted at Anfield!
When Situ Yunbing walked towards the player tunnel, he took the time to sign autographs for the Red Army fans who were smiling and waving to him in the nearby stands.

He mainly saw a few little boys in his father's arms, and when he saw them, he thought of his son. He also hoped that one day he could take his son to watch a team he supported win a game in the stadium. the match of.

That feeling should be great.

After signing the child's autograph, he took the father's mobile phone, turned around and smiled at them in the stands, and took a selfie with them.

The scenes were captured by sideline photographers and live cameras.

The surrounding Red Army fans are cheering for Situ Yunbing!

At this time, many fans shouted the slogan that has been popular in Liverpool for many years!

"Situ Yunbing, I love you!"

The "Everyone Loves Situ Yunbing" campaign once initiated by the fan group is still going on now, but there are fewer scenes of Situ Yunbing appearing on the street.

He and Sigrid are no longer casually shopping hand in hand as they used to be. Now they travel by car, mainly for the privacy and safety of the child.

"Situ Yunbing, I love you!"

Amidst the repeated shouts, Situ Yunbing raised his hands above his head and applauded, and then disappeared into the player channel.
