Chapter 114: How Can You Be So Strong?!
The second half of the match between Manchester United and Liverpool is considered one of the best in the Premier League this season and one of the most iconic in the history of the club.
Raheem Sterling's goal made it 2-1 for Liverpool, but it didn't last long.
With 63 minutes played, United equalised again.
It was Wayne Rooney who sent in a through ball down the middle, Juan Mata dribbled wide, Ashley Young assisted, and then sent a quality cross from the wing, Valencia brought the ball back and Van Persie got in front of Skrtel and slammed the ball into the net with his knee.
“Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!”
"Manchester United showed their tenacity!"
"Two to two! The score was levelised, and Van Persie's clever shot broke through the Jones goal! ”
Van Gaal clapped on the sidelines with an excited smile on his face.
He's happy with the team's performance.
……
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp looked a little depressed and angry on the sidelines, in the process of conceding the goal, Liverpool's backline made mistakes, including goalkeeper Jones's mistake was very undeserved, he tried to pick up Ashley Young's pass, but he was unable to get the football, which directly caused confusion in the Liverpool defense, and finally let Van Persie score the football in the chaos.
"Be sure to bring in a reliable goalkeeper!" Jurgen Klopp's mind was once again firm in this idea, neither the main goalkeeper Mignolet nor Jones, who started today, could satisfy him, both of whom had obvious shortcomings.
Liverpool's scout in charge of the Bundesliga region previously recommended Mainz goalkeeper Lloris to him. Karius, Liverpool have been paying attention to Karius's performance, and another of Karius's major characteristics is his ability to attack and pick up the ball, which is what Klopp is most satisfied with. Karius is confident and decisive in his attack, with an 88 per cent success rate in his strikes, which is a vital part of set-piece defence. There are very few young goalkeepers who can get consistent playing time in the first team, and it must be the young and old people who can play in such a crucial position. Karius became Mainz's first-choice goalkeeper last season and has more than 40 first-team professional games to his name.
Originally, Klopp did not plan to introduce the German goalkeeper too early, after all, Karius is only 21 years old, which is still too young for the goalkeeper position, but now, Klopp is really thinking about introducing this young German goalkeeper early to make up for the team's shortcomings.
……
Whether it was Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal or Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, the second half of this game was a rollercoaster of psychological experience.
Van Persie's goal sounded the clarion call for Manchester United's counter-attack.
In the 69th minute of the game, Manchester United scored the goal to win the game.
It was Juan Mata who hit the arm of Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and referee Atkinson verbally warned him and awarded a penalty.
The decision caused a lot of displeasure from Liverpool, who felt it was the ball hitter and that Henderson did not deliberately handball.
However, Atkinson ignored Liverpool's protests, insisted on his own penalty and showed a yellow card to Liverpool goalkeeper Jones, who was agitated and protesting.
"There wasn't much controversy about the penalty." Lineker said, "Henderson did open his arm to the ball, although he didn't mean to handball, but he did block the ball's trajectory!" ”
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney took the penalty and he deceived Liverpool goalkeeper Jones to score the penalty!
“Goooooooooooaaaaaaal!”
"Three to two! It's incredible, the tenacious Manchester United man went over the scoreline! ”
'It was a really good game, United went down twice and now they're 3-2 up!'
……
The Old Trafford stadium roared with joy.
Manchester United fans chanted with excitement as they saw hope of a home win.
This season, Liverpool has been pressing Manchester United in the standings, and now Liverpool is the leader, which makes it very difficult for Manchester United, who have been crushing Liverpool all these years, to accept this reality psychologically, so in this game, Manchester United people are extremely looking forward to winning Liverpool at home and taking a bad breath.
However, the excitement of the United fans lasted less than five minutes.
In the 74th minute of the game, Liverpool equalized.
This is Coutinho sent the ball over the top, Jiang Chenxi faced Evans and Carrick's double bag, in the middle of the man, he continued to pluck the ball at his feet, first avoided Evans's top grab, and then had a right-footed pick-up, let go of Carrick's tackle, and then, sent a precise through ball.
Salah successfully countered offside, broke into the box, faced David De Gea, and scored with a beautiful low shot into the bottom left corner.
“Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal!”
"Three to three! Goal from the Egyptians! Liverpool stubbornly equalised! ”
"It was a great game! In the second half, both sides have scored a total of five goals! ”
"Salah's shot was very exciting, but the most beautiful thing was Jiang Chenxi! The Chinese star showed off his skillful ball control and footwork skills! ”
"Three to three! Jiang Chenxi assists Salah to score! Chinese stars shine at Old Trafford, three goals, Jiang Chenxi one goal, two assists! ”
……
Van Gaal stood on the sidelines, staring blankly at the Liverpool players celebrating unscrupulously on the field, he knew that Jiang Chenxi was very threatening, so he paid special attention to Jiang Chenxi's marking, this time as soon as Jiang Chenxi got the ball, Evans and Carrick doubled to defend, but he didn't expect that in such a situation, Jiang Chenxi could send such a beautiful assist in the double package!
In Van Gaal's view, this conceded goal can be called an unexpected situation, Manchester United's defense of Jiang Chenxi is good enough, I didn't expect Jiang Chenxi to break through the defense in such a way and pass the football out......
This was a big surprise to Louis van Gaal.
Today's game was really tough.
When Wayne Rooney scored the penalty, Louis van Gaal thought his team was going to win the game, but ......
His brow furrowed.
River! River! River!
Van Gaal is now full of Jiang Chenxi's name.
He thought that he had studied Liverpool very thoroughly, especially for Liverpool's number one star Jiang Chenxi, he already knew enough and had targeted deployment.
But I didn't expect that I still couldn't prevent this Chinese star.
One goal, two assists!
How can it be so strong?!
