Seven hundred and sixty-one: It's been very big, please bear with me!
Old Trafford.
The England Derby staged at the Theater of Dreams indicated that this battle would be extraordinary from the start.
Manchester United made a regular return pass after the kick-off, and Ashley Young sent an overhead pass from the left side of the backcourt.
Ye Yifeng rushed to the left side of the frontcourt and encountered Arnold. The player who had already beaten him in the Champions League final last season was very cautious, but he decisively attacked the ball the moment Ye Yifeng stopped the ball with his right foot.
He thought it was a good opportunity.
But Ye Yifeng's next action after stopping the ball was to take the initiative to protect the ball and fight. He made a prepared body collision and knocked Arnold away with his shoulder.
Arnold, who was retreating, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Yifeng saw his reaction and silently apologized.
My strength against collision.
It's always been big.
Please bear with me!
When Fabinho's defense was in place to press the ball, Ye Yifeng unexpectedly stepped back to dodge the ball. When Fabinho changed direction and Henderson also came to press the ball, Ye Yifeng passed the ball diagonally to the front and left of the penalty area.
After returning from injury, Lukaku took the initiative to respond. As soon as Henderson turned around, he realized that Ye Yifeng was running diagonally from behind him!
He immediately changed direction and pursued again, but it was still too slow.
Lukaku hit the ball across the right front of Henderson.
Ye Yifeng reached the middle area in front of the penalty area, Wijnaldum intercepted him head-on, and Matip also moved closer to the middle.
Ye Yifeng stepped on the bicycle with his right foot and then pulled the ball with his left foot and cut across to the right. He did not break through Wijnaldum, but swayed away from him. The goal was already in his sight, and he decisively kicked the ball from the spot!
The football flew straight to the right of the center of the goal like a cannonball. Alisson barely blocked the ball during a sideways dive, and the football refracted uncontrollably and flew diagonally into the stands.
Alisson was slightly relieved, but he still had lingering fears. If it really deflected into the goal, he could only watch the ball and sigh.
Seeing Alisson's unprepared reaction, Ye Yifeng silently apologized again.
My shot power.
It's always been big.
Please bear with me!
Klopp smiled instead of angry on the sidelines.
This Ye Yifeng's condition is really off the charts.
As for status, there is actually a contrast.
If the Liverpool team is at its peak, Ye Yifeng may not be able to make a big difference in performance.
But just after the FIFA match day campaign, Liverpool, as a major player in the international football team, was naturally the most affected.
Unfortunately, Ye Yifeng was not called up by the national team.
How much Klopp hopes that the Asian Cup can be reformed and become an annual event!
Ye Yifeng, who is in outstanding form, is naturally the biggest threat to Manchester United, and the whole team is also serving him.
Referring to Liverpool's tactics in defeating Manchester United in the Community Shield, Klopp did not allow the Red Army to be conservative at Old Trafford.
When they started to organize an offensive, they tried to pressure Manchester United into a continuous offensive!
Mourinho's formation is tit for tat!
All three midfielders are defensive midfielders!
With three central defenders and two wing players, Tuanzebe and Ashley Young are to a certain extent messing up Liverpool's offense!
But if the tactical effect cannot be achieved, it will be a loss of life.
Although Liverpool's players may not be in full condition, their overall sense of rhythm is engraved in the technical circuit of their own strength.
The midfielder who lacked creativity did not dare to rush in when facing the frontal interception of the Red Devils' three midfielders. He was afraid of losing the ball and being hit by a counterattack, so he still made a fuss from the wing.
After all, their wing is the dominant offensive line.
Robertson from the left came up with an assist. After a simple collision with Origi, he broke through Tuanzebe's defense zone. Robertson made a pass from the bottom.
The football flies to the back point of the penalty area and the diagonal offensive line.
Although Lindelof pushed the ball over the baseline and gave it to his opponent for a corner kick when he returned to defense, Mourinho still nodded in approval.
The tactics that Liverpool are best at have been given to the players during Manchester League preparations to strengthen their mental awareness.
In the 5th minute of the game, Manchester United's fast break came back. Ye Yifeng knocked the ball back to Matic in front of the center circle. Then Mike dragged the ball over to the left, and Ashley Young passed the ball straight in front of the center line. pass.
Liverpool's defense unexpectedly encountered Lukakula's side contact and Ye Yifeng's movement.
Lukaku crossed the ball in two steps from the wing and passed the ball diagonally in front of Fabinho to the left of the penalty area.
Ye Yifeng, who received the ball with his back, knocked the ball directly behind him and turned back at the same time!
Van Dijk learned the lesson from the Community Shield and did not boldly defend. Therefore, Ye Yifeng's turn after knocking the ball gave him an advantage when he turned to defend. He got stuck and blocked Ye Yifeng's forward path. During the physical collision between the two, Ye Yifeng continued to charge. He was called a foul by the referee for grabbing position.
Van Dijk turned around and looked at Ye Yifeng. Shi Yiwei had defended Ye Yifeng this time, and there was no trace of pride on his face. After all, the life of the defensive player was the fate of the defender. It was hard to say victory until the end of the game.
Ye Yifeng did not bother with the referee, turned around and retreated.
Liverpool's attack switches sides and plays on the right.
Arnold encountered the elderly Ashley Young. When receiving the ball, he directly accelerated to win with speed. When Ashley Young chased back, he found that the gap was getting wider and wider. He knew that he would foul next time.
After an interview, I found that I was intimidating.
Arnold made a pass and the football flew to the back of the penalty area.
Maguire's header to clear the ball makes Firmino's goal in vain!
Mourinho is confident. If Liverpool makes a pass from two wings, Manchester United will be happy to see it.
Their air defense has been significantly improved compared to last season.
However, Liverpool's pressing advantage was still exerted. Maguire's clearance ball was controlled by Wijnaldum, and then he passed the ball diagonally to find Robertson who quickly moved forward and cut inside.
The two full-backs of Liverpool are absolutely the favorites of those coaches who advocate offense. Putting aside their skills, their ability to read the game widens the gap between them and ordinary full-backs.
Robertson's inward cut led to the joint defense of Fred and Phil Jones, and then he made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the center of the penalty area.
Firmino, who was responding during the retracement, stopped and buckled and changed direction. Maguire failed to follow. When he tried to get close again, Firmino had already sent a through ball.
Origi beat Phil Jones hard.
De Gea quickly attacked and faced Origi in front of the small penalty area. The latter directly shot the ball, but De Gea blocked the ball with his body.
In the chaos, Fred cleared the ball out of the sideline.
In the 12th minute of the game, Manchester United finally organized a counterattack after being beaten hard for a period of time.
Klopp saw that the organizational power of Manchester United today actually lies at the feet of Ashley Young.
Because Ashley Young can pass the ball faster and find Ye Yifeng.
Liverpool's natural formation, already under pressure, did not retreat so quickly. When Ye Yifeng made a diagonal run to the side, Ashley Young's pass came as expected. Arnold had already turned around, but now he was speeding up to catch up.
During the rapid retracement of Liverpool's midfield line, only Fabinho's position could defend Ye Yifeng. Van Dijk retreated quickly with a dignified expression, but also maintained a distance from Fabinho, but did not get too close.
When Ye Yifeng made a dash for the ball, the Red Devils immediately cheered for him!
Ye Yifeng changed the ball and cut inside, completely making Arnold lose the opportunity to return to defend and interfere. When Fabinho rushed to defend Ye Yifeng, the distance between the two was nearly two meters. Ye Yifeng suddenly took a step forward to the right, and Fabinho Stop immediately, stabilize your center of gravity, and prepare to press.
As a result, Ye Yifeng ran forward in a straight line again. The change of direction just now was just an illusion!
Fabinho turned around and chased again, and Ye Yifeng faced off against Van Dijk again.
Lukaku quickly followed up in front of Ye Yifeng in the middle.
The moment Lukaku rushed past Van Dijk three meters away, Ye Yifeng moved the ball with his right foot and sent a through ball. Van Dijk's center of gravity was slightly retracted inward.
In the electric light, there is no passionate collision between the two, but there is a calm prediction that wants to penetrate each other's hearts.
Ye Yifeng quickly feinted in front of the football with his right foot for half a circle, then switched to his left foot to move the ball and accelerate towards the outside!
Van Dijk's center of gravity tilted slightly, and after retracting it, he immediately turned around to follow up, and tried to use his body pressure to steal the ball from Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng had space to shoot, but the angle was too small.
At the critical moment of the confrontation between the two, Ye Yifeng pulled the ball behind him with his right foot, and at the same time knocked the ball towards the center of the goal with the arch of his left foot!
Van Dijk was already close, blocking Ye Yifeng with his whole body, making it difficult for him to control the ball.
But Ye Yifeng's ball passed from his feet.
Van Dijk turned around and looked back, only to see Lukaku running over, stopping and retreating, then hurriedly shot!
The football flew into the stands, and the kick was a little ridiculous!
Alisson gave a false alarm and Red Army fans felt heavy.
Although Manchester United's offense is not as fierce as Liverpool's, every time Ye Yifeng reaches the frontcourt, it is a storm!
Ye Yifeng stepped back and raised an eyebrow at Van Dijk who turned around.
Can you withstand it?
Van Dijk took a deep breath and moved his mouth silently.
Ye Yifeng understood his mouth shape.
Messi!
Compared with Ye Yifeng's individual blast, Ye Yifeng, who was once blown away by Messi, seems to be more able to put pressure on Van Dijk.
On this point, Ye Yifeng was not pushy.
Boss Mei's blasting ability is indeed stronger than him in the open space.
However, at this age, he does not rely solely on breakthroughs to establish himself in the world.
It’s still early, let’s keep fighting!
Liverpool once again came to the fore, and their pressing offensive made Manchester United uncomfortable.
Ashley Young finally chose to foul when Arnold made another breakthrough.
The action was not outrageous and the referee did not play the card.
But 2 minutes later, Tuanzebe's foul on Robertson on the right seemed too hasty and he received a yellow card for his excessive movement.
This is considered giving away someone's head.
Mourinho looked solemn.
It is almost certain that once Tuanzebe receives a yellow card, Liverpool will attack even more frantically on the left.
He had to greet the defense on the sidelines, and the defensive midfielder helped defend the right wing to increase his enthusiasm.
As expected, Liverpool then frequently attacked the left wing.
Henderson dispatches in the middle, Wijnaldum moves forward and feints, but in fact it is Robertson who is most active in the charge!
In the 23rd minute of the game, Robertson went down from the left and passed back from the inverted triangle to find Origi. Fred stalked and Origi's cross was blocked from the baseline.
The Red Devils generals are serious and proactive, and their tactical execution is very high.
Even if Liverpool can play a pressing offensive, it may not be able to create great opportunities!
