Sturridge's injury caused the game to be suspended for five or six minutes, so the hot atmosphere at the scene seemed to be extinguished a lot.

But when the game started, Anfield became lively again, especially with the Liverpool players running hard, the Liverpool fans also did not hesitate to cheer and applaud themselves.

Liverpool's players are indeed working very hard, and Klopp is still very good at inspiring the team's fighting spirit.

Even Coutinho, who used to be relatively lazy in the game, worked very hard to press the frontcourt.Starting from Coutinho, Firmino, Milner, who had just replaced, as well as Emre Jan and Henderson all invested in the frontcourt counterattack.

De Gea placed the ball on the penalty line and passed it to Hummels.As soon as Hummels received the ball, Liverpool's frontcourt pressure came up.

Hummels passed the ball back to De Gea, and Firmino pressed up at high speed, leaving De Gea with very limited time to handle the ball.

Under the pressure of the opponent, De Gea could only make a hasty clearance.

In such a hasty situation, De Gea's big foot was not accurate.The football was not kicked off halftime, and it was directly cut off by Emrejan.

Liverpool regained the ball with a frenzied press.

The fans in the Anfield stands cheered again and again. Liverpool's performance made these diehard Liverpool fans very excited. They clamored loudly and cheered for Liverpool.

"The forcing effect of Liverpool's frontcourt is not bad. Sturridge's injury does not seem to have any impact on Liverpool, but Manchester United's rhythm has been disrupted." The commentator Andy Gray said.

"Klopp seems to be deliberately speeding up the pace of the game. There are a lot of big players in the Manchester United lineup, and the skills at the feet of the instructions are relatively rough. If the pace of the game is accelerated, Liverpool may have a chance to win in chaos. ’” Henry said.

"I'm worried about the physical fitness of the Liverpool players. With such a fast-paced running and pressing, I don't know if they can last until the end of the game. You must know that Liverpool has one less substitution." Carragher was a little worried about himself. His old club is worried.

In fact, his worries were unreasonable.Under Klopp's Liverpool, the pace of the game is very fast. After a game, Liverpool players may have to experience dozens of sprints back and forth.

This season, when Liverpool faced mid-lower teams, they often died in the second half of the game, and their physical problems were caught by their opponents.

However, Liverpool's set is still very effective when facing strong teams.Of course, the strong teams will not shrink in the backcourt to defend like the middle and lower teams. They are bound to make a difference in offense, and Liverpool's crazy dog ​​style of play is a test of the team's ability to control the rhythm of the game, otherwise If it is, the rhythm of the game will be brought to a very, very fast level by Liverpool.

Now Manchester United is a bit out of rhythm by Liverpool. The rounds of the game are very fast, and the two sides frequently exchange the ball, making the rhythm of the game like driving on the highway. They are slammed on the accelerator, and they don’t know. Who can step on the brakes?

Ancelotti also stood on the sidelines frowning at the moment.This rhythm is obviously not what he likes to see.If the two sides show their horses and chariots clearly, Manchester United will of course have the advantage, but now that the rhythm of the game is disturbed by the opponent, the scene looks very chaotic.

If there is the biggest flaw in the current Manchester United system, it is the lack of a midfield metronome.Although Li Qingshan is very good at scoring goals, Manchester United also relied on Li Qingshan to achieve very dazzling results this season.But when it comes to controlling the rhythm of the game and so on, this is what this Manchester United team is not good at.

None of the three players in Manchester United's midfield are the kind of players who can act as a metronome, and Carrick can actually be competent for this role, but Carrick, who has aged at the beginning of the season, is not in good physical condition , There have been injuries intermittently, and relying on such a veteran to fight for a long season is obviously very risky.

This situation has already appeared when facing a team with a strong ability to control the scene.

For example, when facing Manchester City, Manchester United once fell into the opponent's rhythm.

.........

Manchester United did encounter difficulties in passing the ball from the midfield. Even if it was a long pass, under the pressure of Liverpool, it was not very accurate. Instead, it often passed out of the sideline and handed over the ball to Liverpool.

Fortunately, it was very difficult for Liverpool to attack with the ball and penetrate Manchester United's defense, so the ball was quickly snatched back by Manchester United.

The frequent exchange of ball rights made the situation on the court a bit chaotic.

For Ancelotti, although Liverpool's offense with the ball does not create much threat now, it is obvious that the situation on the field is not good for Manchester United.

Because of the change that most of the football stays at Manchester United, although Liverpool seems to be unable to create too threatening offense, if Liverpool steals the ball in the chaos, they can immediately make a quick counterattack.

The hidden danger of football staying in its own half is too great, which has to worry Ancelotti.

Li Qingshan, who was at the top, also noticed the passivity of the team, because he hadn't received a pass from his teammates for almost 10 minutes.

Occasionally there will be a long pass, most of which are passed high and out of the touchline or passed directly to the opponent's goalkeeper. The line of defense was in a hurry.

It was very difficult for the team to be forced by Liverpool's running without hesitation.

It has been more than ten minutes, and Liverpool has maintained this intensity of the game for more than ten minutes.

Ancelotti's frown gradually calmed down.

No team can keep running so crazily, even if Klopp gives Liverpool more chicken blood. Sports is also a science.

At this time, Ancelotti discovered that Li Qingshan withdrew to his own half.

Ancelotti just wanted to wave his hand to let Li Qingshan go to the front, but before he stretched out his hand from his pocket, he changed his focus temporarily.

Li Qingshan's ability to hold and protect the ball may have some effect at this time.

.........

Li Qingshan returned to his own half on his own initiative. Since he couldn't receive the pass in the frontcourt, he might as well return to the half to get the ball.

Sacco was originally following Li Qingshan, but he watched Li Qingshan pass the middle circle, and even retreated to the front of the Manchester United penalty area.

Sacco's task in this game is to mark Li Qingshan, but he is a central defender, do he need to follow Li Qingshan to the opponent's penalty area?
Sakho hesitated for a while, and finally decided to return to his central defender position.

He didn't believe it, what threat could Li Qingshan, who was far away from his own restricted zone, create?
