Chapter 891 Old wine in new bottle
Counting from 2010, Situ Yunbing and Mourinho have been competing in the top European football arenas for six years.

It can be said that they are the most familiar opponents to each other.

This time Mourinho served as the Manchester United coach, giving Situ Yunbing the feeling that he was eager to prove his salvation by silently counterattacking after Chelsea's frustration.

According to the standards of his previous coaching teams, he landed in the top league to coach Chelsea, went to Inter Milan, then went to Real Madrid, and entered Chelsea for the second time. He had very high requirements for power, but when he waited for Manchester United, this part of power was gone. The demands are as high as before.

It is enough to see how hard the collapse at Chelsea last season has hit him. Even if he makes a slight concession in principle, he has to prove himself as soon as possible.

Liverpool sits at home against Manchester United, and Mourinho's team is almost carved out of the same mold.

The backcourt is tightly defended, the midfielder guards the key defense area and never advances rashly, the winger has speed, and the center forward can respond.

From Drogba, Milito, Benzema, to Diego Costa, now Ibrahimovic, Robben, Eto'o, Ronaldo, Hazard, and now Rashford.

His team has given people a feeling: old wine in new bottles, or the same taste.

After the start of the game, Manchester United made an extreme anti-reverse posture. Even Pogba was very content to move in the area between the front of the penalty area and the center circle. Manchester United's offense relied on Rashford on the left and Rashford on the right. Ashley Young on the road, and Ibrahimovic on the front line, and most of the time, Ashley Young has to retreat to the backcourt to participate in defense, so I see more Ibrahimovic and Rashford in the front Field charge.

Mourinho is still Mourinho. It is undeniable that the team he coaches is indeed perfectly imprinted with his style, but in the ever-changing European football, his style has already made many people feel tired. People who don't like him naturally have more reason to criticize him.

Although Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and watched the game seriously, the relatively conservative scene did make him feel helpless towards Mourinho.

He doesn't expect Mourinho to open the door and let his team bombard wantonly, but at least some unexpected or novel changes will excite him.

But it is because of the six-year confrontation history that Situ Yunbing is familiar with Mourinho's technical and tactical style and on-the-spot command characteristics. If Mourinho does not make changes, then it is equal to Situ Basically, Yunbing will not be caught off guard psychologically. Just from the situation, Liverpool has naturally done a good job of restricting Manchester United.

In contrast, Mourinho is also very familiar with Situ Yunbing, but his skills and tactics are relatively passive, so he can only be beaten first. From the perspective of fault tolerance, Liverpool has a slight advantage.

In the 7th minute of the game, Liverpool played a wonderful fast break in the frontcourt. Eriksson sent the ball over the top of the penalty area to the bottom line on the right after responding to Lewandowski's return pass. , Mbappe moved forward to get rid of Blind. When the latter accelerated and approached Mbappe, Mbappe knocked the ball back with his heel and sent it to the feet of Azpilicueta.

Azpilicueta sent a cross again, and the football flew to the deep area behind the penalty area.

After Sane cut inside, he was attacked by Valencia and Bailey. After the ball was stopped and the pass was sent, Bailey shoveled the ball out of the bottom line at the critical moment!
All the fans were amazed!

The Red Devils fans were very upset.

It is also because of the recent poor performance of Manchester United.

Five minutes later, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt. Pogba tried to dribble forward after collaborating with Herrera at the front of the penalty area, but saw Casemiro blocking him, so he decisively moved The ball was passed diagonally to the wing to find Rashford.

Even though Pogba shines in Serie A, the overall level of Serie A is really far behind the Premier League. Moreover, today he is facing a European football king like Liverpool. He wants to surpass Casemi Robben in terms of offense and defense. It's not easy, plus there's Kanter behind!

In order not to let his horse stumble, he simply played the ball early.

Rashford took a look at Ibrahimovic's position while advancing the ball from the left. During the offensive and defensive confrontation with Azpilicueta, Rashford wanted to break through but was entangled by the opponent. After barely protecting the ball and retreating Passed the ball to Ibrahimovic.

In terms of rhythm, Manchester United's counterattack advantage has disappeared. When Ibrahimovic was in possession of the ball, he was confronted by Koulibaly. He then passed the ball to Ashley Young who was plugged in from the wing. Ford was completely blocked by Azpilicueta when he followed up at the far point inside, and failed to respond successfully. As a result, the football flew out of the baseline after bouncing off the ground.

In the 20th minute of the game, Liverpool's frontcourt finally formed a threatening attack. Sane quickly dribbled across Valencia from the left side of the frontcourt, and then passed the ball obliquely in front of Pogba in the middle of the penalty area. Lewandowski Dowski knocked the ball back, and Eriksson followed up with a kick and shot!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. At the critical moment, De Gea made a deep and horizontal pounce and bravely saved the ball to the bottom line!
"De Gea! See De Gea's world-class saves again at a critical moment!
Manchester United's tight defense could not limit Liverpool's flexible offense. When Fellaini was still turning around, Eriksson had already kicked and shot!
The ball was threatening enough. If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful save, Manchester United's goal would have fallen!
Today, Manchester United focused on defensive counterattack at Anfield, but so far, we have not seen their counterattack threat! "

When Liverpool gradually adapted to Manchester United's counterattack rhythm, they did not find much threat, so they began to speed up their offense!
In the 25th minute of the game, Sane was surrounded by many Manchester United players in the attack on the left side of the front court, Ashley Young, Valencia, and Pogba who helped defend the wing!

Manchester United obviously defended very tightly in the backcourt!
But Sane was bold and kept a certain distance from the three defenders. When the siege was about to push him into desperation, Sane deftly knocked the ball back diagonally to Casemiro. At the same time, Robertson circled The outside line quickly bottomed out!
Casemiro sent an over-the-top through ball again, and Robertson counter-offside successfully played an offensive depth advantage on the wing!
After a stop and a trip, he changed direction and crossed the penalty area. Robertson's impact shocked the Manchester United defense. Bailey rushed towards him quickly, while Fellaini covered the penalty area, and Herrera blocked Eric at the front of the penalty area. Mori!

Robertson flicked the ball towards the baseline when Bailey was in front of him, swung it out of the angle and made a quick pass!
Mbappe quickly outflanked the pass with his foot on the ground, and De Gea made a kick at the critical moment to clear the ball!
"De Gea! It was De Gea who resolved the danger of Manchester United's defense!

Liverpool's offensive speed-up effect is remarkable, and Manchester United is beginning to be a little overwhelmed! "

Although the football that was cleared was diverted to the side by Ibrahimovic's header at the back of the center circle, because he was interfered by Benatia's confrontation, the angle of the football flying was a bit off, and it was directly passed by Azpilicueta. The ball breaks.

Rashford was very successful restricted by Azpilicueta today. The British emperor star who turned out last season seems to have lost his magical aura this season. Insufficient, the number of opportunities Martial has also declined significantly.

Such a way of employing people is in line with Mourinho's consistent style.

Regardless of the offensive ability, it is absolutely useless if the defense is not good.

After stealing the ball, Azpilicueta quickly launched a fast break forward, and he waded the ball almost unimpeded to the dangerous zone of the frontcourt attack.

A 45-degree cross from the wing!
Lewandowski competed for a header in the middle of the penalty area, but Smalling took the lead to make a header!
When the cleared football just flew into the middle of Manchester United's backcourt, Casemiro easily controlled the ball and launched a fast break!
Eriksson responded with his back under the attack of Fellaini and Herrera, which caught all Manchester United defenders off guard and knocked the ball to the left rib of the penalty area with his left foot!

Bailey, who performed well in today's game, felt belatedly at this moment. He was about to complete his turn to chase the football rolling behind him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Sane was already parallel to him!

Suddenly cold sweat came out!

really!

When he fully turned around and accelerated, Sane had already cut inward and swayed the ball to his front, which made him have no chance to complete the steal!
Everyone saw that Sane completed the anti-offside plus crosscut to form a single knife!

De Gea attacked in a hurry, but he didn't expect Sane to volley decisively!
De Gea flew to save subconsciously, but the speed of the ball was too fast. Before he fully stretched his body, the football had already rushed into the upper right corner of the goal!
Earth-shattering cheers erupted from Anfield Stadium!
Sane roared passionately and rushed to celebrate!

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, expressionless.

It seems that losing a goal against Liverpool is nothing new, and it is also something that has been expected.

What makes him feel uncomfortable is that Manchester United can't make a threat in the counterattack!
Compared with last season, Liverpool's style of play has undergone some changes. They are not as wild as beasts biting their opponents like in the past, but they have become more ruthless!
"Sane volleys past Manchester United!

De Gea is powerless this time!

Liverpool played a wonderful cooperation beyond imagination. After consecutive attacks, Eriksson sent a wonderful through ball with a dragon wagging his tail!
Sane seized the opportunity to make a strong inside cut, and then cut the ball across to the middle of the goal. De Gea abandoned the goal, but Sane was more decisive!
He volleyed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
No goalkeeper can block this kind of ball, not even De Gea!
Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the English derby, they now lead Manchester United 1:0!

Maybe we will be a little disappointed looking at Manchester United now, but I believe Mourinho will not sit still! "
