Chapter 303 Adjustment
"The score was 0-0 in the first half. Although there were some wonderful scenes, there were no goals. For fans of both sides, it is a relative pity."

In the first half of this double-red game, there was no lack of exciting confrontation and relatively rough physical confrontation, but if there was no goal, Zhan Jun always felt that something was missing.

After all, classic scenes all happen after a goal is scored.

"The 15-minute break, what happens in the dressing room, it's a contest between two managers. And we all know that Mourinho has always done a good job in motivating."

Huang Ming said.

On the live commentary side, Neville and Carragher are also talking about this part.

"Yes, Mourinho's half-time motivation is usually very effective. After he took over Manchester United this season, in several games, Manchester United played better in the second half than the first half."

"Especially my Manchester United usually has the blood of never giving up, so, in the second half, Jamie, you may be beaten." Neville laughed.

Carragher is speechless, because he is not familiar with Klopp. He took over Liverpool in October last year, but he only finished 10th last year, which made the Red Army fans almost collapse. Support the Germans, that's all.

He had no choice but to hope that Klopp would not embarrass Liverpool.

……

In the locker room, Mourinho is doing his speech.

"I think the thing that motivates me the most, or that I draw motivation from, is basically that people don't believe me. There's a cloud of doubt hanging over their heads. So I want to prove everybody wrong. .You know what I mean? I want to do it! No matter what anyone says, I want to do it!"

"Since Benfica, I have been facing the doubts of others all the way forward. Now, I have 31 championships!"

"Now, we are on the road to the championship. Liverpool in front of us is just a pebble. What are we going to do?"

"Kick him off!"

"We need to attack more fiercely, Valencia needs to keep moving forward! Blind don't hesitate! Move forward! When you move forward, Herrera will cooperate with you to protect!"

"Mata, do you know what you are going to do? We need your offense! We need you to dribble, we need you to distribute the ball in time, you must see clearly the movement of your teammates."

"Marcus (Rashford), you played really well in the first half! You showed them who you are, you used your football to tell them you have Manchester United in your blood! The second half I need you to keep it up state, remember! Tell them with football!"

"Finally, I have to make an adjustment. We need to increase the height of the midfield, so, Paul, go back to the midfield, Ye Tian, ​​lift it up!"

"Paul, you have to remember what I told you before, we need your wide range running! We need your strong defense!"

"Ye Tian, ​​do you know what to do?"

Ye Tian nodded and replied: "Kill them!"

"Yes! Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

In the dressing room of Manchester United, there was a roar!
……

At the beginning of the second half, neither side made substitutions.

However, Ye Tian and Pogba's switch adjustment made the Liverpool players stunned for a short time.

After the kick-off, Manchester United continued to press high.

Soon, Liverpool passed the ball into the backcourt, and in the midst of pressing Ibrahimovic and Rashford, passed the ball to the goalkeeper Karius, and then...

When Karius made another pass, he was successfully intercepted by Rashford.

Immediately, Rashford gave the ball to Ibrahimovic in the middle.

Ibrahimovic turned around and hit. At the same time, the linesman raised the flag and the referee whistle sounded.

Offside!

Ibrahimovic looked very regretful, and Rashford was also extremely regretful.

The Liverpool players who escaped the catastrophe slowly calmed down under the shouts of captain Henderson on the field and the signal of Klopp on the sidelines. Under such circumstances, only in this way can they perform normally or abnormally.

Facing Manchester United's high pressure, they also immediately countered the pressure after losing the ball.

This trick, Klopp used it with great proficiency when he was in Dortmund. From October last year to the present, in a year, he has instilled his football philosophy into this team.

However, this kind of oppression will easily collapse when encountering super ball protection and passing skills.

After all, if the pressure goes up and is passed, there will be enough space behind the pressing player, and the opponent will definitely seize this space to play more and less.

For Liverpool, only Coutinho's ball-handling skills are better in the midfield, but the Brazilian star's physical confrontation is weak. After Ye Tian moved forward, Pogba's thick and hard body is here. Coutinho O still can't get any benefits.

But Manchester United is different.

Mata may face the same problem as Coutinho, but Ye Tian does not have this problem.

Last season in Serie A, the Chinese who carried the opponent's player for more than ten meters and then burst into shots made people vaguely think that he was a Vieri-style center forward. He lacked nothing in terms of body, speed, and skills!

And, unlike Pogba, he roams the frontcourt a lot.

Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes retreat, sometimes switch positions with Ibrahimovic.

This made it difficult to mark him. In order to maintain the integrity of the formation, Liverpool still used zone marking and focused on shrinking Ye Tian.

However, this creates a problem.

Generally speaking, when defending, the defensive key areas are divided by the side with the ball and the side without the ball. Obviously, the side with the ball should have a relatively more manpower.

As for Ye Tian's threat, Liverpool must let people watch. Unknowingly, Liverpool has formed a situation with Ye Tian and without Ye Tian.

When the side with Ye Tian and the side with the ball overlap, there is no problem with this defensive focus, but when Ye Tian runs without the ball and goes to the side without the ball, multiple-choice questions appear in front of the Liverpool players.

One or two choices may not have caused the opponent to pose a threat due to many factors, but what scene has Ibrahimovic not seen?As one of the strikers who can be counted with a slap in the world, the ability to read the game must be top-notch!

So, he started gesturing to the players.

Immediately, everyone unified their thinking.

Ye Tian held the ball, passed to Mata a few times outside the left side of the penalty area, and passed it back to Herrera.

Herrera turned the ball back again and gave it to Blind.

Blind appeared to go right but came back and went left for Mata.

Herrera, Mata and Blind passed several times, and suddenly, Blind made a long diagonal pass to the right.

Over there, Ye Tian was in Liverpool's flank, in an unguarded position!
After seeing Ye Tian catch the ball, Rashford immediately began to sink on the right.

Liverpool left back Milner, left center back Lovren, and left midfielder Coutinho, there should be at least two people around Ye Tian at this time, but because they didn't have a unified idea, they hesitated, making Ye Tian Tian took the ball calmly.

Out of place.

So they immediately surrounded them. Of course, Milner turned slightly to the left, and he wanted to cut off the connection between Ye Tian and Rashford.

Liverpool's entire defensive formation immediately shrank rapidly to the left.

Ye Tian stopped the ball and made another long pass before being surrounded.

It was not given to Rashford, but slanted to the left side of the penalty area.

There, Mata was going forward, and... it was wide open!
cheated!
The Liverpool people are pressing here again!
But how can a person run fast with a ball?

After Mata unloaded the ball with his left foot on the line of the small penalty area, he swung his left foot again!
Karius down!

Then, there was only one thought in his mind!
Finished!

Because Mata fake shot real pass!

Cross the ball!
The ball passed behind Matip and slid across the goal, and Ibrahimovic made an easy shot!
The noise at Anfield was like a pause button.

But in the next instant, 3000 Manchester United fans present burst into extremely high decibels!
Mourinho still looked stern, walking slowly on the sidelines.

But the Manchester United players on the bench, Rooney, Carrick, etc., have already jumped up from their seats and kept punching, the excitement on their faces was beyond words!
　Dichlorvos: No time to explain, 2021 is here, get in the car!
