The 63-year-old frowned, unhappy with his team's passivity on the pitch.

The 47-year-old sat in the away dugout at Old Trafford and was smiling and looked forward to winning when he saw Louis van Gaal sticking to a three-five-two formation for the game.

Van Gaal is a very stubborn person.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic once described Van Gaal as a dictator in his autobiography, 'Van Gaal is an arrogant dictator, he just wants to be a man of his word, he can't put a grain of sand in his eyes. ’

In Jurgen Klopp's view, when Van Gaal continued to stick with the 352 formation in this game, this was the most faithful manifestation of his stubbornness.

……

Louis van Gaal's Dutch team relied on the 352 formation for great success at the World Cup, which made Van Gaal extremely superstitious about the 352 formation.

However, the 352 formation has proved difficult to succeed in the Premier League, and more precisely, it is not suitable for Manchester United.

On the one hand, there is a big difference between the squad configuration of Manchester United and the Dutch national team, in addition, in the very fast pace of attack and defense in the Premier League, it is difficult for the midfielder to protect the defense of the back three in time, and the most important thing is that the ability of England's players and the tactical awareness formed since childhood make it difficult for them to get used to the position of the back three.

Under the pressure of the record, Manchester United tried three rounds of the 352 formation failed, from the fourth round of the league back to the system again, after which Manchester United's record rebounded, and the ranking also rebounded, but, in recent rounds of the league, Van Gaal did not die, and began to move the idea of three backs, against Arsenal and Southampton, the third place in the league, Van Gaal used a three-back formation, although he won the game in the end, but, in fact, it is obvious that The two wins were relatively fluke, and Manchester United were not convincing on the pitch.

Jurgen Klopp studied Manchester United's games against Arsenal and Southampton, and he judged that the victories in those two games would keep the stubborn Dutchman in a superstitious 352 formation.

For Manchester United's 352 formation, Liverpool has a special deployment today, in which Jiang Chenxi's position is crucial, and the Chinese star is the key for Liverpool to tear apart Manchester United's defense.

……

Van Gaal couldn't sit still in the face of the passivity on the pitch, and he shouted from the sidelines, hoping that the team could regain the initiative in the game.

Juan Mata is starting to come alive and he frequently goes to the left flank to link up with Ashley Young and try to break through the ribs.

Forty-one minutes into the game, United were looking for a break down the left flank.

Juan Mata and Ashley Young combined a one-two on the flanks before cutting into the box.

Lovren came up to defend Juan Mata, who bumped the ball inside with his beautiful foot and the ball was passed to Rooney's feet.

Wayne Rooney played the ball to Robin van Persie, who picked up Skrtel and knocked the ball to Wilson, who was interspersed through.

Glen Johnson came over to make up for the defense, but suddenly his feet slipped and he slipped directly to the ground.

The sudden situation took Wilson by surprise and the young United striker scrambled to shoot the ball into the back stands......

……

The Liverpool players were terrified, and even Klopp, who was sitting in the dugout, was so frightened that he stood up and saw Wilson kick the football away before returning to his seat.

In the stands at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans held their heads, they couldn't believe their eyes, such a good opportunity, it was not grasped, this can be regarded as the best chance of the first half of the game for Manchester United.

Young Wilson held his head in his hands, he couldn't imagine that his ball would shoot away, Glen Johnson slipped and fell, this was simply a big gift, in front of him except for Liverpool's goalkeeper Jones, it was a huge goal, and he missed such an opportunity......

Rooney walked up and patted Wilson on the shoulder, comforting the lost and sad young man.

At this moment, Valencia shouted, "Back to defense!" ”

The Liverpudlians, startled by Wilson's shot, did not waste time, goalkeeper Jones quickly drove the ball into the goal, and Liverpool launched a quick counter-attack.

……

Jones kicked the ball to Moreno, who passed the ball to Henderson, who passed the ball directly to Coutinho, who came back to pick it up, and Coutinho turned the ball, looked ahead, and launched a counterattack with a long pass.

The ball flew high over Manchester United's midfield and towards Manchester United's half.

Jiang Chenxi rushed to the landing point of the football, and by his side was Phil Jones, who was closely following.

Jiang Chenxi stopped the ball on his chest, carried Phil Jones, did not turn around, and directly pushed the football to the right side.

The right side of the road was empty, and there seemed to be no one there......

"Muhammad. Salah! "John. Mortenson shouted.

Salah rushed up, and there was no one within ten meters of him, right and left!

……

This attack of the Manchester United team just now, from Mata to Ashley Young on the left side, and even Evans all pressed up, I didn't expect Liverpool's counterattack to come so fast, and I didn't expect Coutinho to not choose to advance layer by layer, but he actually launched a long counterattack directly in the backfield, and the quality of the pass was quite good, of course, there is Jiang Chenxi, there is such a tacit understanding between him and Salah, he didn't look at the side, he passed it directly, and Salah came!

The next thing to do is for Salah to park the ball. Then Liverpool's counter-attack is very hopeful.

Salah rushed towards the ball, slowing down slightly as he ran, hooked his foot and stopped the ball right in front of him, which rolled slowly.

"Beautiful!" Lineker exclaimed in admiration.

"Manchester United only have one defender in the box now, Carrick, Liverpool's counterattack is too sharp!" John. Mortensen said that Liverpool's counterattack was too fast, and Manchester United's space after pressing was too big, which is a hidden danger in the 352 formation.

"Salah! It's in the restricted area! Cross! ”

Carrick pounced on Salah, and the Egyptian was not greedy and opted for a pass.

Raheem Sterling, who followed up, met the rolling soccer ball and shot straight at goal.

……

De Gea's eyes moved with the rolling of the football, and at the same time his body moved with it, and when he saw the football coming and saw that it was Sterling who shot the goal, De Gea, who was already desperate, inexplicably had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"God! De Gea! ”、

"Great save!"

Raheem Sterling's shot was too good for De Gea to spot and he punched the ball straight away.

Carrick finally rushed over and headed the ball out.

?? The United fans in the stands let out a cheer to cheer for De Gea's save, but before the cheers had fallen, their eyes widened when they saw a yellow-shirted figure rushing up, this man facing the falling football, slashing his foot and shooting!

The speed of the ball was so fast that everyone didn't react, Carrick, who had just completed the header clearance, only felt that the football illuminated by the floodlights was like a white light, and goalkeeper De Gea's reaction was fast enough, he flew to pounce, but before his save was fully performed, he felt his scalp tingle, a gust of wind blew over his head, and the cheers of Liverpool fans sounded in the stands of the away team behind him!
