Chapter 1109 Hard power gap

Liverpool played steadily so that Manchester United had nothing to do. Since they adopted a static defense, they basically had no chance to complete steals in the midfield. Liverpool itself made a low-level pass error to give a big gift to the opponent.

In the 30th minute of the game, Liverpool had passed multiple passes in the frontcourt and made an offensive transfer. When Sane received Eriksson's pass from the left, he made a gesture to cut the ball inward. When West Asia shrunk towards the penalty area, Sane passed the ball straight behind him.

Lewandowski took the initiative to slant into the left side of the penalty area to respond. Smalling and Valencia quickly ran to attack Lewandowski. At the same time, Sane cut into the penalty area. Matic Immediately stepped forward to follow up closely.

Lewandowski knocked the ball back obliquely to Robertson's feet before the baseline. Mbappé also started to run in and cut to the middle of the penalty area. Blind immediately followed, and the full-back Luke- Xiao also recovered the compressed space in the penalty area.

Robertson did not hoist the ball directly into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area on the wing, but passed the ball directly across the front of the penalty area.

In the quick follow-up, Eriksson even stopped the buckle and swayed past McTominay who was grabbing.

When the ball came to the right side of the penalty area, Eriksson saw Luke Shaw rushing towards him to press. At this time, Eriksson calmly sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Lewandowski, Mbappe, Sane are already heavily marked with few chances, but the space in the United box is created by Liverpool in a fluid game, when Eriksen sent a through ball. , Henderson happened to pass by Luke Shaw!

Luke Shaw is really in a dilemma. If he doesn't go up to block Eriksson, the Danish midfielder will have a good chance to shoot directly.

But his rushing block exposed the space in the penalty area. Although it was not very wide, it was enough for Liverpool to use.

When Henderson entered the right side of the penalty area to receive Eriksson's pass, Blind's defensive position moved slightly to the right side, obviously still afraid of Mbappe who was in the middle of the goal at this time.

Henderson slammed the ball forward and came to the bottom line. During the period, he turned his head to observe the situation in the penalty area.

Manchester United's penalty area was indeed overcrowded and the space was very small, but Henderson knew the situation clearly and made a pass before the baseline.

He has only one way to pass the ball, there is no angle for shooting, and he does not have enough skills and space to pass.

De Gea routinely blocked the angle in front of the near post. When Henderson's pass was sent, De Gea panicked!

Because Henderson picked up the ball and passed it to the back of the goal!
De Gea saw that the height of the football flying into the air was beyond his reach!
So he quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the football landing, trying to find an opportunity to hit the ball out or block the shooting line of the Liverpool players during the process!
But the landing point of the football is behind the goal!

Blind had no chance to complete the defense, but when he turned to look, he found that Smalling was retreating!

Earlier Smalling was going to block Lewandowski, but that was when Lewandowski was in possession of the ball. When Eriksen sent the ball into the penalty area, Smalling turned towards the goal. Moving in the middle, he has to protect Blind's back and create space for Blind to defend Henderson.

But I didn't expect that Henderson would dip the ball to the bottom and make a pass. At this time, he could only step back to find a proper take-off position for a header clearance.

When he was still one step away from what he thought was a suitable take-off point, Smalling felt that he had hit someone!

He didn't need to think about it to know that it must be a Liverpool player!

And definitely the most threatening person.

Lewandowski!

The two took off almost at the same time, but Smalling's take-off was very reluctant, and Lewandowski shook his head against the falling football!
The football refracted directly to the upper left corner of the Manchester United goal!
Smalling had no chance to clear with a header!

De Gea is helpless against this kind of ball.

When the football flew into the goal, the Red Army fans cheered wildly from the stands of the New Wembley Stadium!
Lewandowski scored this goal neatly!

The Polish center turned and rushed to the sidelines cheering!
Mourinho secretly gritted his teeth on the sidelines, but basically kept his expression unchanged.

Manchester United's score advantage is gone, it is not the end of the world.

Situ Yunbing didn't show any over-excited emotions either, he just smiled slightly, that's all.

"Lewandowski headed home! Liverpool penetrated Manchester United's defense with patient organization and exquisite coordination!

I think this goal is not surprising. Liverpool must have such hard power. If Manchester United can keep the goal from being broken, it must be that Manchester United has surpassed their own limits!

And if Liverpool has been unable to score goals, it must be a problem with their own offense.

Liverpool is good at quick transfers in offense and creating space between teammates through running and passing. Dessen's start was quite surprising, but Kanter, who was considered an absolute starter, sat on the bench.

The cross from Henderson made Lewandowski very comfortable with his header, barely moving his position, with plenty of space to grab the best position, while also leaving the United defender powerless.

De Gea is also powerless, this kind of goalkeeper is indeed powerless.

Now the score has become 1:1, Manchester United's advantage is gone, the score has returned to the starting line, but the game situation has not returned to the original point!
After this goal, Liverpool will be more calm, and Manchester United's situation will become relatively difficult! "

The Red Devils fans will naturally regret the conceded goal, but they still believe that the team will have the hope of leading again, and they continue to cheer for the team in the stands.

The mentality of the Red Army fans is much easier!
Situ Yunbing is now very curious whether Manchester United will launch the whole team to counterattack again after the lead disappears!
After Manchester United re-kicked off, Liverpool still maintained the team's first tight defensive formation in the backcourt, and then we will see what tactics Manchester United will adopt.

Manchester United can't be said to be confused after losing the ball. Combined with the time of the game, they may not be depressed about the current situation.

Anyway, they did not fall behind to Liverpool.

In the 34th minute of the game, Rashford's left side of the frontcourt relied on his own ability to rush forward. Liverpool's defenders found that there were no other Manchester United midfielders following up.

Rashford and Lukaku who took the initiative to meet the wall at the front of the penalty area and then forcibly speeded up the cut. Arnold interfered with him. Although he did not completely intercept him, it affected Rashford's cut. The speed exploded, and when Rashford tried to control the ball in the penalty area, he found that Van Dijk waded the ball away first.

Rashford's expression showed a trace of unwillingness.

Manchester United fans also sighed in disappointment.

But neither Mourinho nor Situ Yunbing will be surprised by this situation.

If Rashford can create a murderous intent, it is definitely an accidental phenomenon.

Otherwise, Mourinho would not take a huge risk to let the team kill almost the whole team to Liverpool's halftime counterattack!
If Liverpool's defense was able to make waves with simple cooperation and the individual abilities of the players, then Liverpool would have been bombarded by Real Madrid and Manchester City long ago.

Isn't the personal ability and simple coordination ability of the stars of these two teams better than Manchester United by at least one level?
When Liverpool started to attack, Manchester United was a little more nervous than when they were leading. It may be that they were more confident when they were leading, but when the score returned to a tie, they were a little scared.

Because they may not care about the quality of the counterattack when they are leading, according to Mourinho's deployment, they will devote more energy to defense.

But now that the score has become a tie, they still have to be distracted and invest in the counterattack, which will naturally cause fluctuations in the quality of defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, when Mbappe took the ball from the right and made a breakthrough against Luke Shaw, Luke Shaw directly pulled the ball and brought Mbappe to the ground.

Mbappe sat on the ground and spread his hands helplessly, as if saying: As for it?
The referee whistled Luke Shaw for a foul and gave him a yellow card in the past.

Mourinho reminded the team to strengthen defense on the sidelines!

Liverpool must not be allowed to complete the lead before halftime!

Liverpool was about to take a free kick from the wing area, and Manchester United's generals set up a wall while laying a net in the dangerous area in front of the goal.

Sane took the free kick. After the referee blew his whistle, he passed the ball to the front right of the penalty area. It seemed that Arnold might finish the shot directly. The nearest Manchester United player rushed to block it, but Arnold passed the ball. Straight to the right rib hinterland of the restricted area!
Henderson, who cut in from the outside line, went into the penalty area to meet the ball and pass directly!

Before De Gea could react, Mbappe, who outflanked the goal, shot the ball into the goal!

The Red Army fans cheered, Mbappe was about to celebrate, but saw the linesman raising the flag to signal offside!

Mbappe suddenly looked helpless, and he shrugged to express his incomprehension.

"Mbappe's goal disallowed! Offside?! Who was offside?
It is definitely impossible for Mbappe to be offside, because the position of Henderson's cross is close to the bottom line, and there is absolutely no offside situation for teammates who respond in the middle.

Then there is only one possibility, Henderson was offside when Arnold passed the ball!

The replay came, and sure enough, at the moment when Arnold passed the ball, Henderson, who was on the edge of the penalty area, inserted his right foot before starting and ran offside!
This is really a slight difference. If Henderson was 0.1 seconds slower, the ball might not be offside!

Manchester United escaped a catastrophe! "
