Chapter 487 Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!

Old Trafford, Theater of Dreams.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of passion, the starting players of Manchester United and Liverpool walked into the stadium together.

Every player is full of energy and fighting spirit!

This is the most watched focus battle in English football!
"Good afternoon, dear viewers, welcome to the 22nd round of the English Premier League at Old Trafford, Manchester!

The league leader, the Red Army Liverpool, came away to challenge the league's second-ranked Red Devils Manchester United!
Before the start of the game, Liverpool led Manchester United by 7 points. Ferguson once said that being 7 points behind was not a gap that was difficult for Manchester United to catch up. He once led the team to reverse their opponents and win the championship when they were 12 points behind!

Manchester United always seem to have a tradition of reversing their opponents, but Liverpool coach Situ Yunbing has maintained an amazing record. He has never been reversed by an opponent in the league in the past four seasons of coaching, and he has finally won in all four seasons. To the league champions!
Liverpool fans certainly hope that Situ Yunbing can maintain this record.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Manchester United started today 4231.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

Midfield: Ashley Young, Cleverley, Shinji Kagawa, Carrick, Welbeck.

Forward: Van Persie.

Liverpool started today with 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Benatia, Enrique.

Midfield: Eriksson, Coutinho, Casemiro.

Forwards: Sterling, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

What is more surprising is that Lucas did not enter the starting list. The outside world predicts that when Gerrard is absent, Situ Yunbing should use Lucas to strengthen the defense in the middle, but they seem to be more willing to devote their energy to the offense today middle!
It is worth mentioning that we saw the figure of Real Madrid coach Mourinho in the stands today. His Real Madrid will meet Manchester United in the Champions League knockout round, so we are here today to spy on the military situation. There is also England coach Hodgson Also watched the game from the stands. "

Situ Yunbing and Ferguson stood on the sidelines with serious faces. Ferguson knew that Liverpool would not come today, but he didn't expect that Situ Yunbing seemed to have a stubborn idea to show off at Old Trafford!
Situ Yunbing started stud!
Although there are Mahrez, Vardy, Lucas and other players on the bench, it can be said that Liverpool's starting lineup today is the strongest offensive combination they can currently put on!
Then this is the trend that can be foreseen after the start of the game. Either Liverpool will turn away, or they will lose control and be directly defeated by Manchester United!
This is a bit risky. In such an important game, all the cards are shown at the beginning, without leaving any room for retreat and regulation, because once adjusted, basically there is not much room for forward and backward space. Although there is, doing so will be a sign of retreat. If it is in a disadvantaged state, it will basically declare that it will be unable to conquer Old Trafford.

But Situ Yunbing has confidence in his team!

With the whistle of the referee Weber, the game officially began!
Manchester United took the lead in launching an offensive. Amidst the cheers of the Red Devils fans, the Manchester United midfielder encountered a crazy counterattack from Liverpool's midfielders. Shifted the offense to the right.

Ashley Young kicked the ball in front of Enrique and passed it directly. The football went straight to the middle of the penalty area. Van Persie went forward to find a chance to score directly, but Benatia headed the ball back. Top out of the bottom line.

Manchester United attacked from a corner kick, and Casemiro nodded in front of the penalty area to make a clearance.

Suarez was fouled by Rafael as soon as he stopped the ball in the backcourt near the sidewalk. Weber whistled and whistled, pointing to Rafael for a warning.

Manchester United's offensive after the opening did not reflect aggressiveness.

When Liverpool began to take possession of the ball and organize the attack, they played a quick-moving pass and cut attack in the midfield.

Eriksson and Coutinho hit the wall and broke through Cleverley's defense zone and got rid of Shinji Kagawa. When Carrick was in danger, Coutinho and Suarez completed the wall collision. Then a through ball was sent to the left in front of the penalty area.

Gareth Bell made a strong inside cut around the outside line and originally kept pace with Rafael, but in the acceleration, the physical confrontation pushed Rafael away. .

Ferdinand quickly returned to block Gareth Bale, but the latter touched the ball first and shot furiously!

The football blasted towards the far corner of the goal. The responsive De Gea swooped on the spot and touched the ball with a single palm, and the football flew out of the bottom line outside the far post!
De Gea stood up indifferently. The Spanish goalkeeper is now the new goalkeeper of the Red Devils. No one questioned him, especially in the context of the Red Devils' increasingly inefficient defensive system.

Red Devils fans cheer for De Gea!
Gareth Bell didn't show any regrets.

"De Gea made a great save! The reaction in front of the goal line, De Gea is amazing!
He rejected Gareth Bale's powerful shot, but then again, the penetrating and cutting of the frontcourt in Liverpool's offensive was really fast, and there was a good chemical reaction between Eriksson and Coutinho. Pass, run, pass, run, their high-quality passes made Manchester United's defense very passive. "

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Casemiro tried a long shot from the outside but sent the ball directly into the stands.

Situ Yunbing applauded from the sidelines, the team needs momentum first!

When Manchester United tried a positional attack, they were still able to control the ball in the midfield, but the link from the midfield to the front to create a threatening offensive was not as smooth as Liverpool.

When Shinji Kagawa sent a wonderful pass to Welbeck in the middle of the front court, Welbeck tried to break through the penalty area directly when cutting inside. This attempt was brave but irrational. Skrtel and Ge Len Johnson teamed up to intercept the ball.

Welbeck staggered and almost fell to the ground after the ball was stolen.

Liverpool's fast break was launched quickly. After half a season of running-in, the tacit understanding of the Red Army is naturally not a problem.

Casemiro passes the ball diagonally from the backcourt to the right side of the frontcourt.

Sterling encountered Cleverley's fast flying tackle when he was waving the ball forward quickly. He quickly passed the ball diagonally in the middle and then bypassed Cleverley and continued to advance.

Suarez passed the ball diagonally to the right under Carrick's defense and continued to hand over to Sterling to push forward.

Liverpool's striker attacked on the front line, and Manchester United's defense retreated and contracted. When Evra was about to steal the ball from Sterling, Sterling knocked the ball back diagonally to the center.

In the process of running long-distance to push the offensive, Manchester United's back line resisted the invasion of the Red Army's Liverpool striker, but Manchester United's midfielder could not effectively contain the players inserted behind Liverpool's midfield.

When Coutinho stopped and continued to advance in the middle, Carrick quickly moved over to press, and Coutinho passed the ball obliquely to the right in front of the penalty area like a superficial touch.

Eriksson quickly stepped in to meet the ball and raised his foot to shoot!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. De Gea moved two steps quickly and then jumped to the limit and blocked the ball in the small penalty area with a single palm!
When Suarez rushed forward to make a supplementary shot, Vidic took the lead in getting stuck and then kicked the ball out of the baseline!
"De Gea made another contribution! This is a great save! Eriksson's shot was infinitely close to breaking the goal, but De Gea still defended the goal of the Red Devils!"

De Gea made two meritorious deeds in a short period of time after the opening, which is enough to inspire people, but this is not a good sign!
Three minutes later, Manchester United's frontcourt offensive was also fast and fierce. When Shinji Kagawa fell into the pressure of Casemiro and Eriksson's defense, the Japanese midfielder flexibly protected the ball and found space to pass the ball diagonally to Cleverly. , the latter took advantage of the situation and took the ball diagonally to the middle of the front of the penalty area.

Van Persie pulled the ball in front of Benatia and turned around, but reversed the ball, shook Benatia, pulled out an angle, and shot directly!

The football flew across a parabola towards the upper left of the center of the goal.

Although the angle is not tricky, it wins in strength and surprise!
Ter Stegen took off on the spot and swooped to block the ball with a single palm!
Skrtel immediately returned to the defense and knocked the ball across the wing, and Glenn Johnson controlled the ball.

"Wow! Liverpool goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen made a great save too!
Will this English derby be a contest between goalkeepers? "

Manchester United fans regretted that Van Persie's shot failed to score, and Ferguson also felt a little disappointed.

But there was no time for them to feel sorry for themselves, as Liverpool's fast break quickly came to the fore.

When Eriksson dribbled quickly from the midfielder to the offensive danger zone, he tried to send a shell to Suarez, but the pass was blocked by Ferdinand first.

Carrick moved the ball forward under the pressure of Coutinho's counter-attack, but what was unexpected was that Casemiro also quickly overwhelmed the half-court and intercepted the ball first.

Cleverley misses Carrick's pass!
After stealing the ball, Casemiro quickly passed the ball diagonally to the left of the front court.

As soon as Gareth Bale stopped the ball, he was pressed fiercely by Raphael.

Gareth Bell immediately hit the ball across the middle, and after the ball was out, he ran forward!
Raphael should have some regrets, but he should also be aware that when he fails to steal the ball, Gareth Bell will not be able to catch up no matter whether he breaks through with the ball or runs forward without the ball!

When Gareth Bale rushed to the outside of the penalty area, Coutinho had already kicked the ball diagonally into his running line.

Gareth Bell took advantage of the situation and cut inward to the left side of the penalty area!
Ferdinand had no choice but to retreat to block Gareth Bell's line, but Gareth Bell simply chose to knock the ball back diagonally when he was two meters away from Ferdinand!

Suarez followed up in front of the goal and drove Vidic back, and Carrick went to defend Coutinho, but Gareth Bale's pass was a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Eriksson made a quick move forward, stopped the ball and adjusted for a step, then kicked and shot from the spot!

De Gea was moving towards the right post, but to his dismay Eriksen's shot was kicked towards the top left corner of the goal!

De Gea immediately stopped and moved in the opposite direction, but it was too late, he gritted his teeth in a hurry and forced a jump to save, but his outstretched arm was still one meter away from the football!
The football flew into the upper left corner of the goal in shock!
