Matic was knocked down, and Lin Chen quickly dribbled the ball forward!

The only thing left in front of us is the defense line without protection from the midfield!

Looking up, I saw Firmino lurking behind Bailly in my peripheral vision, Ashley Young staring at Mane on the left, while Salah on the right reached out and pushed Valencia away, then started quickly.

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and kicked directly to the ribs!

Salah got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and had a one-on-one opportunity, but the angle was too small.

"Salah got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and cut inside to squeeze out Smalling!"

"Still rushing towards the middle of the penalty area!"

"Valencia got back to defense and forced a shot!"

"De Gea saved the ball!"

"De Gea quickly dived to the ground and blocked the ball with his left leg, giving Liverpool a corner kick."

"Lin Chen's pass was as precise as a scalpel, but it was a pity that Salah's shot lacked some luck."

"Liverpool's tactical routine is very clear. They are still trying to find offensive space from the middle. This is their best offensive method."

Corner kick opportunity, Wijnaldum was lurking at the back post and Mane took the penalty kick towards the middle.

Lin Chen took a big step forward from the top of the penalty area and tried to head the ball, but Smalling cleared it first!

"Under Mourinho, this Manchester United team has developed an offensive strategy of quick counterattacks combined with crosses from the wing. Lukaku and Sanchez, who come from behind, are both good at heading the ball."

After the game resumed, Manchester United quickly demonstrated its distinctive tactical style.

It was a defensive counterattack plus a cross from the wing, in which Lukaku intentionally moved towards Matip's side.

The tempo on the field could never be sped up because Manchester United kept relying on various small moves or looking for opportunities to slow down the tempo of the game. They didn't want Liverpool to get a comfortable offensive mode.

The 16th minute of the game!

"Mignolet controls the ball in the backcourt, passes it to the left, and Robertson presses forward with the ball!"

"Matala committed a foul, the referee gave a verbal warning!"

"Manchester United always try to stop Liverpool from speeding up in this way."

……

"The defense in the middle was fierce, Wijnaldum controlled the ball deftly, and pressed forward with delicate dribbling."

“Matip was chasing but Wijnaldum just didn’t lose the ball.”

"It's a nice long pass to the right."

"Arnold carries the ball forward and passes it straight!"

"Salah beat the offside flag."

"There was a chance at the back post, but Salah chose to do it himself!"

"Break into the penalty area and shoot directly from a small angle!"

"Another great save from De Gea!"

"A street in Manchester, ask who the father is!"

"De Gea is worthy of being the best goalkeeper in the hearts of the fans. He has solid goal-line skills and his saves are exceptionally wonderful."

"But in this attacking opportunity just now, Salah could have chosen to pass the ball to the back post, perhaps creating some scoring opportunities for Mane."

After the game started, Salah was extremely excited and broke into the penalty area many times to create shooting opportunities, but unfortunately he failed to convert them into goals.

In the Sky Sports commentary room, Gerrard looked at Liverpool's fierce attack on the field with a look of relief on his face.

"This is Liverpool's current strength. Manchester United can only defend passively. This is the fact."

Manchester United legend Neville immediately responded.

"If you don't know, you might think Liverpool scored a goal, but what was the result?"

"This is a football game, Gerrard. It's not about who attacks more happily, but about who can score goals."

As the two were talking, the referee suddenly stopped the game and Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet fell to the ground, holding his thigh!

Coach Zhan spoke up.

"It wasn't a good situation. From the replay, it was a no-contact fall."

"Normally a player would fall to the ground without any contact and request a timeout, which means he must be injured."

No one knew what had happened. At this time, the Liverpool team doctor came on the field to ask questions and found that Mignolet had strained the back of his left thigh.

"It should be because of the passive long kick under the pressure of Lukaku just now."
