Chapter 109: Jiang Chenxi, who threatens everywhere
It's not just that the offensive tactics of both sides have changed compared to the past.
The style of play has also changed.
To put it bluntly, the style is very tough.
The two sides are more tough in the confrontation, showing no mercy when they get down, and it is common for people on the field to turn on their backs.
The referee on duty, Atkinson's whistle, sounded frequently.
And it is obvious that the head coaches of both sides, Klopp and Van Gaal, have already arranged before the game, although the fouls of the players on both sides are big, but they are well stuck in the foul standard, and the action is fierce, but it is not enough to challenge the authority of the referee to eat cards, and it can even be said that the focus of both teams is not on how to attack, but on how to stop the opponent's attack with foul actions that do not eat cards......
Such a game is definitely not exciting, and there are relatively few high-quality attacks on both sides, but the fans in the stands are still watching with relish and enthusiasm.
……
Even Manchester United fans will never boo their team for not playing well enough, and United fans are concerned about whether their local team can take down Liverpool. So they don't care what the situation is, they're not Real Madrid or Barcelona fans, and in the Spanish national derby, it's not just about winning but also about winning beautifully.
In the game against Liverpool, the requirements of Manchester United fans are very simple, win the game, as for whether the field is dominant, whether the game is good-looking, whatever, if you can win and play well at the same time, it is naturally better, it doesn't matter if you are not beautiful enough, the important thing is to win.
Of course, for Liverpool fans, the same is true.
The animosity between the two teams allows fans on both sides to let go of their demands on whether the game is beautiful or not, and the result is good.
The premise of winning is to make sure you don't concede a goal first!
Therefore, both sides have focused on preventing each other from scoring goals for the time being.
……
The deadlock of the hard-fought midfield began to be broken.
Liverpool's most dangerous attack came in the 21st minute.
Salah's breakthrough with the ball was disrupted by Ashley Young's tackle and Liverpool won a throw-in on the right flank.
Salah threw the free kick, Jiang Chenxi left the penalty area to respond, he pretended to pass to Sterling after receiving the ball, but covertly knocked the football into the penalty area with his heel, Coutinho received the ball and changed direction beautifully, dribbled into the penalty area, and then passed the football to the goal before Carrick came up to intercept.
Sterling, who cut inside from the left flank and walked in front of goal, tried to grab the spot, but the thin Sterling was firmly stuck behind by Phil Jones, and this time, the ball did not touch anyone and slashed straight in front of goal.
However, Liverpool's attack didn't end there.
The ball crossed the penalty area and did not fly directly out of bounds, but fell to Liverpool's left-back Alberto. Moreno's feet.
……
Moreno did not blindly pass directly to the goal, at this time in the Manchester United penalty area, Sterling has lost the position of grabbing points, Salah is also entangled by Evans, even if it is passed to the goal, it is difficult for the two to form a rush to the goal.
Klopp's strategy of arranging Jiang Chenxi to pull out of the penalty area was effective at this moment.
Moreno passed the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area, Coutinho grabbed in front of Carrick, cushioned the ball, and cushioned it to the top of the arc of the penalty area!
Jiang Chenxi rushed up.
Seeing this, Valencia was shocked, rushed up, and tried to carry Jiang Chenxi with his body, but as soon as the two people's bodies touched, Valencia was knocked into a stumbling and took half a step back, it was this half step that gave Jiang Chenxi space to get up, and he shot vigorously against the football.
The ball went straight off the ground and slammed towards the goal.
De Gea was shocked, flying and jumping sideways, he was not able to touch the football, the goal did not go in, but slightly above the crossbar, shocked De Gea in a cold sweat, this ball as long as it is a few centimeters lower is an absolute must-score.
Getting up from the ground, De Gea looked at Fellaini in front of him helplessly, and then looked at the dugout on the sidelines.
Van Gaal arranged for Marouane Fellaini to be actively involved in the attack, and the immediate after-effect was that Manchester United's midfield was deficient in defence, and Valencia had to rely on Valencia to fill in the defense.
Jiang Chenxi glanced at the Manchester United team's goal with some regret, he felt good about this shot, he thought that this goal was there, but it was still slightly higher than that, and he couldn't completely suppress it.
Manchester United also returned the colour with a more threatening attack a few minutes later.
It was Wilson's cross, Rooney intercepted the ball halfway, turned and turned into a cross, Fellaini headed in the middle, Van Persie managed to grab the spot, but his shot went high and failed to cause too much trouble for Liverpool goalkeeper Jones.
……
Thirty minutes into the game, the situation on the field began to change subtly.
Liverpool began to gradually grasp some of the initiative.
This stems from Jiang Chenxi's activity.
Jiang Chenxi, who was a little away from the goal, began to show his threat, and Fellaini's space after pressing was fully exploited by Liverpool.
Jiang Chenxi began to frequently threaten the right side where Valencia was located.
Raheem Sterling frequently played for Jiang Chenxi and helped him create shooting opportunities, which put Valencia under great pressure.
In less than five minutes, Jiang Chenxi tried two long-range shots, although they did not form a goal, but both of them threatened the Manchester United goal.
……
"Interesting." Zhan Jun also began to see the name, "Liverpool's tactics today seem to be deliberately creating opportunities for Jiang Chenxi to shoot from a distance, Sterling and Salah are wingmen in front, and the real attacker is Jiang Chenxi behind the two." This change is a bit of a reverse thinking, previously Salah and Sterling delivered shells to Jiang Chenxi in front, and now they are delivering shells to Jiang Chenxi behind them. ”
Jiang Chenxi shot several times in a row on the left side, which made Valencia frightened and exhausted, and suddenly adjusted his position, and he ran to the right side.
Valencia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him run to the right, the plague god was finally gone...... He felt like he couldn't stand it anymore.
Now it's Ashley Young's turn to be unlucky.
Jiang Chenxi's cooperation with Salah on the left side was more tacit, which made Ashley Young very uncomfortable, and even Rooney had to come over to help to contain Jiang Chenxi.
After raging on the left side for a while, Jiang Chenxi adjusted his position again, he went to the middle, and Coutinho began to be active, constantly interacting with Jiang Chenxi.
Finally, Van Gaal couldn't stand it anymore and he had to make adjustments passively, and Fellaini was called back to strengthen the defense in the middle to contain the increasingly active Jiang Chenxi.
……
In this way, Jiang Chenxi kept changing his position on the field, while Raheem Sterling, Salah and Coutinho fully cooperated with him.
Although the score has not changed, it is still 0-0, but after Jiang Chenxi's repeated attacks, Manchester United's rare offensive has also been contained, and now it is almost fully defended, and the rhythm of the game has been controlled by Liverpool.
"I have a feeling." Zhan Jun said with a little expectation, "Jiang Chenxi took turns attacking the defense of the Manchester United team left and right, as if a swordsman was constantly drawing his sword to test the sword, and now the sword blade is sharpened, the cold light is flickering, and the real time for the sword to bleed is coming." ”
'Manchester United are being suppressed. Lineker said, "Jiang's threat is everywhere and he seems to be getting closer and closer to scoring. ”
