Seven hundred and sixty-three, leading the way strongly and taking the lead!
Super goal! Manchester United takes the lead to score Liverpool's goal!
Not surprisingly, the player who scored the goal was the captain of the Red Devils, the man who dominated the scorer list from the day he arrived in the Premier League!
Throughout the first half, Ye Yifeng used different methods to attack Liverpool's defense. This time in the counterattack, he once again cooperated with Lukaku, and Lukaku's fulcrum role is also very critical, adapting to the situation and using his chest to return the ball.
At the critical moment, Ye Yifeng bent down and hit the ball while running, showing his dexterity!
He is indeed not the fastest man in European football, but he is a player who combines technology, strength and speed to the most perfect level!
Liverpool fell behind 0:1 to Manchester United in the away game.
It is obvious that it is not as easy for them to play Manchester United today as it was in the Community Shield.
If it is only the lack of Salah that led to their dominance and lack of scoring, this is obviously one-sided. Manchester United's formations are tit-for-tat. Mourinho's approach to directly maximizing the threat of counterattack is to put Ye Yifeng on the front line. .
Let him face Liverpool's back line!
It doesn't matter if he failed once or twice, because he will definitely be able to break through Liverpool's goal. Now that the goal has arrived, Manchester United is at the top of the Premier League in the real-time standings!
Conceding a goal towards the end of the half was bad news for Liverpool.
If Manchester United is determined to defend, maybe they will fall into a more difficult battle in the second half.
The morale of the Red Devils was so high that they retreated when Liverpool kicked off.
The Red Army's final blow before halftime was completed by Henderson. A long shot was blocked by Lindelof in the penalty area.
The referee blew the whistle and the half ended.
Players from both teams walk toward the tunnel in the corner of the court.
The Red Devils fans in the stands nearby cheered as if they were sure of victory.
But Pogba, Rashford and Martial walking in the crowd were full of bitterness.
In such a high-profile English derby, they had no use.
Emperor Lin was eager to give it a try, but he was optimistic and had no extra thoughts. If his father gave him a chance to appear, he would definitely do his best.
After returning to the locker room, Mourinho was hardly optimistic about the second half of the game.
After all, the team's wing defense is a flaw. Liverpool's failure to threaten was due to the poor quality of the final kick in front of the goal, rather than problems in other aspects.
But when it comes to specific technical and tactical adjustments, he doesn't have a particularly good idea.
For such a battle, the defensive arrangements are in place before the game.
Liverpool did not hit any unexpected points, and accordingly it was difficult for Manchester United to prescribe the right medicine.
After beating the blood and sounding the alarm, the Manchester United generals returned to the stadium again with high morale to welcome the second half of the game.
Old Trafford is still buzzing.
Red Army fans are looking forward to the team's wonderful performance in the second half to complete the lead.
Until this moment, they have not lowered their high expectations for the outcome of the game.
Not long after the start of the second half, when Arnold rushed to the frontcourt from the right and turned inside, McTominay decisively fouled the opponent.
Stained yellow.
Manchester United's established tactic is to adopt sniper tactics in the second half.
When Manchester United launched a counterattack, Ye Yifeng was fouled by Henderson just after halftime.
Also dyed yellow!
Liverpool also stepped up their defensive aggression.
Stifling Manchester United's counterattack opportunity and allowing Manchester United to shift into a positional battle, Manchester United's offensive threat will basically be suppressed to the freezing point.
For 20 minutes, the two teams committed frequent fouls and there was smoke everywhere.
However, both teams committed tactical fouls, and the battle between mortal enemies did not break out into player conflicts.
Fouling is a means, not to disrupt the rhythm of the game.
Ye Yifeng and Lukaku frequently fell to the ground in the frontcourt. Lukaku was a little excited, but Ye Yifeng was already familiar with it.
Klopp shook his head slightly on the sidelines.
Liverpool's back-and-forth offensive play was a bit of a hit-and-miss affair.
He needs a more certain offensive threat.
So a substitution was made.
Lallana, who was not called up by the Three Lions, came on as a substitute for Origi.
The Red Army Koi did not bring good luck to the team today.
After the substitution, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams quickly increased.
In the 69th minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng rushed to the frontcourt to receive Lukaku's diagonal return pass and headed to the front and right of the penalty area, Wijnaldum retreated to defend and threw him to the ground from behind.
Wijnaldum turned yellow.
The Red Army has three midfielders and two defenders. Except for Van Dijk, the other four have yellow cards.
Klopp continued to make substitutions, and Keita came on to replace Wijnaldum.
At this time, Manchester United also made substitution adjustments.
Lin Huang came on the scene to replace Lukaku.
With a one-goal lead, Mourinho was already looking to finish the game.
Rojo also started warming up on the sidelines.
With no one available, fresh blood can only be replaced to maintain the intensity of the sniper tactics.
Ye Yifeng took a direct free kick on the right side of the penalty area.
Although Liverpool adopts the same crazy foul tactics as Manchester United, their risks are higher.
The risk for Manchester United is that the defensive strength of the players is likely to lead to frequent card bookings and attrition.
The risk for Liverpool is that once the opponent is given a free kick in an excellent position, they have to be on tenterhooks for fear that Ye Yifeng will take the free kick as a penalty kick.
When Ye Yifeng's ball shot through an inner arc and fell towards the upper right corner of the goal, Alisson moved in advance not to block the far corner, but to block the angle behind the wall. There was an overlap in defense. Once Ye Yifeng hit the far corner , he will be responsible for conceding the ball!
But he won the bet!
Save the ball beyond the baseline.
Ye Yifeng also discovered the direction of Alisson's movement after shooting and realized that Alisson was gambling!
Bravo.
Have courage.
Manchester United makes another substitution.
Tuanzebe comes off.
Ashley Young will play at right back and Rojo will play at left back.
Manchester United's formation changed to 541.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng's consciousness fell into darkness.
The cheating moment has arrived.
A new prize pool is starting.
Premier League: 00-01 season.
Liverpool crest.
England flag.
Jamie Carragher.
Oops.
Ye Yifeng felt uncomfortable.
Carragher might be hacking himself in the live broadcast room right now.
They are both defenders, but Carragher's level is probably far behind that of Adams and Bruce!
Whether from a practical or psychological perspective, this thing is definitely something he despises. Even if he can choose his own players next season, this guy will definitely be abandoned by him.
well.
Cheating opened up a loneliness.
Manchester United began to actively delay time.
Liverpool pressed furiously in the frontcourt, forcing Manchester United to launch a fast break.
In the 77th minute of the game, when Lin Huang passed the ball to Ye Yifeng who was cutting in from the wing in front of the center circle, Ye Yifeng dribbling in was completely a lone hero's play.
As he charged forward single-handedly, Van Dijk stepped forward and took the initiative to pull him down to the ground.
Van Dijk wanted to buy time and also stifle Manchester United's counterattack.
He was also stained yellow.
Ye Yifeng tried another shot, this time directly into the far corner of the goal, but Alisson did not move in advance to block the near corner behind the wall.
When Alisson blocked the ball from the air and then hugged it, Ye Yifeng looked at Alisson in hindsight, wondering if he had been tricked? !
Liverpool accelerated their attacking tempo and pressed forward across the board.
Their time is getting less and less!
After Manchester United made substitutions in the backcourt, Rojo did do his job.
Bringing down Arnold in the 82nd minute of the game disrupted Liverpool's offensive rhythm.
Henderson took a free kick and headed towards the goal.
Van Dijk was interfered by Maguire during the scramble, and the ball hit De Gea.
De Gea, who stood in front of the goal without moving a step, hugged the ball directly.
Then, as soon as Liverpool retreated, De Gea saw Ye Yifeng, who was already running forward, waving for the ball!
De Gea immediately rushed to the penalty area line with the football in his arms and threw the ball forward with a powerful hand throw.
During his movement, Ye Yifeng saw Fabinho and Matip staying in front and was already preparing to commit a foul.
He looked back and then blocked the ball with his back as it flew towards him.
Then he continued to run forward.
Lingard ran up to meet the ball and sent a through ball!
When Ye Yifeng rushed past Matip, he successfully countered offside!
The Red Devils fans in the audience were extremely excited, not only because of Ye Yifeng's behind-the-back manipulation, but also because of the Manchester United devil attending the meeting alone at this moment!
Alisson had no choice but to abandon the door.
When he rushed to the penalty area line, Ye Yifeng decisively took a shot.
He shot the ball with his right foot.
The football drew a parabola over Alisson's head and fell into the goal not far behind him!
The whole crowd at Old Trafford is buzzing!
Ye Yifeng scored twice, basically sealing the victory!
When he knelt down passionately, almost all the Red Devils fans in the stands followed his gesture and drew a rainbow in front of them, and then they roared together and pointed at the sky with their hands!
The Red Devils rushed over and overwhelmed Ye Yifeng, who stood up after kneeling down to celebrate.
Mourinho gritted his teeth and waved his fist heavily, while also roaring!
The Red Army fans looked unhappy.
The defending champion is cornered!
Is there still a chance to save it?
After the kick-off, Manchester United further strengthened its defense.
Mourinho replaced left back teenager Williams and replaced Matic to enhance defensive mobility.
Basically able to contain Arnold's offensive on the right.
Liverpool were two goals behind but still playing steadily. Ye Yifeng retreated deep to strengthen his defense.
When the game entered stoppage time, Lallana suddenly came to the left rib area of the penalty area to receive Robertson's pass. He kicked the ball across the penalty area and found Firmino. The latter changed direction just as he turned the ball. Maguire stretched his leg to intercept the ball.
But the ball that was poked out was cut across by Lallana and controlled, and he cut past Maguire's front-on volley.
The football flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
De Gea is helpless!
Liverpool finally got a goal back!
The score became 2:1.
Klopp kept the team under pressure.
Manchester United stalled for time after the kick-off, and Liverpool's counterattack was obviously too large.
When Ye Yifeng and Lingard hit the wall to cooperate, Henderson fouled Lingard and he received a second yellow card and was sent off with a red card.
Mourinho raised his arms repeatedly on the sidelines at this time, making the atmosphere extremely frenzied!
Liverpool failed to complete the final blow. Instead, Ye Yifeng almost scored another victory with a long-range shot at the last moment of the game.
The football hit the right side of the goalpost and popped out of the baseline.
The referee's whistle sounded.
The game is over!
In the English Derby, Manchester United defeated the defending champion Liverpool 2:1 at home!
With nine consecutive league wins, he has climbed to the top of the standings, leading the way!
