Especially recently, Rashford's sudden rise, scoring 15 goals in four games, shocked the world football world, and added to Van Gaal's confidence.

Van Gaal believes that Manchester United, which was weak in attack at the beginning, defeated Liverpool, so the recent Manchester United, which has defeated its opponents by more than three goals in five consecutive rounds and is extremely fierce, has no reason why it can't win Liverpool.

………………

On Van Gaal's self-confidence, Klopp was unimpressed.

From the Bundesliga to the Premier League, Van Gaal and Klopp have met a total of 5 times, and Van Gaal is currently temporarily ahead of Klopp with 3 wins and 2 losses, and in terms of goals, Van Gaal's team has scored 10 goals and is also ahead of Klopp's team with 7 goals.

However, the truth of the matter cannot be explained by these simple data.

The two have met 4 times in the Bundesliga, with 2 wins and 2 losses, but at that time it was clear that Van Gaal's Bayern Munich was stronger, but it was Klopp who broke the dominance of the Bayern family, and his Dortmund rose to prominence, winning the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive years in 2011 and 2012.

In Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, it was Liverpool's side who dominated the field, with 17 shots on goal, while United only had one shot on target and eventually won.

In all, Klopp has reason to believe that he is no worse than Louis van Gaal, and Liverpool will definitely beat Manchester United.

As for Marcus Rashford, what can a 18-year-old child change?

………………

When asked by a reporter what Klopp would do to limit Rashford, Klopp said that Liverpool do not need to deliberately target Rashford, his team is a strong attacking team, confident that they can beat Manchester United in a head-to-head game and claim the promotion spot.

Klopp was full of confidence when he said this, because the current Liverpool team is indeed very ferocious. In the 26th round of the league, they beat Villa 6-0 away; Although they lost to Manchester City on penalties in the Carabao Cup final, they then beat Manchester City 3-0 at home in the 28th round and beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the 29th round.

Don't look at the big wins of Manchester United in these rounds, but excluding the goal of Rashford, a young boy, Manchester United's attack power is no different from that of a rookie.

Against Manchester United, Liverpool have nothing to fear as long as the team executes his high-pressing tactics and cuts off Rashford from his team-mates.

………………

Because the two cities were too close to each other, and the game started at 8:05 p.m., Manchester United did not go to Liverpool in advance at all, but only boarded the bus after lunch on the day of the game and rushed to Liverpool in a hurry.

The distance of more than 40 kilometers is only an hour's drive.

Before arriving at Liverpool, Rashford didn't feel anything. However, when their bus arrived in Liverpool, the excitement of the Double Red Society suddenly hit their faces.

Fans wearing Liverpool jerseys surrounded Manchester United's buses all the way, many people scolded, and some made various intimidating gestures in an attempt to cause strong psychological pressure on Manchester United players and give Manchester United people a disadvantage.

However, it didn't help because it was hardly the first time that United players had experienced such an atmosphere. Except for a few new tenders such as Rashford and Barella, they are all used to seeing big scenes.

As for Marcus Rashford, although this is the first time he has experienced this atmosphere firsthand, he has seen the atmosphere of the Double Red Cross on television.

As for the atmosphere after entering the Anfield stadium, although the atmosphere was warm, after experiencing the baptism of the Theatre of Dreams, Rashford did not feel too much discomfort.

………………

At 20:05 local time on March 10, 2016, the first leg of the Champions League one-eighth match between Manchester United and Liverpool officially kicked off.

In the history of European competition, this is the first meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United, after the Reds won 4 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in 16 matches against England Club, scored 17 goals and conceded 19 goals, only 2 wins in the last 10 games, 5 draws and 3 losses in the remaining 8 games, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last four games, all of which were eliminated by Chelsea; United have won five of their seven games against England, and are unbeaten in six games except for a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham in their opening game in December 1963, beating Chelsea and Arsenal in a row.

In this game, Liverpool central defenders Skrtel, Gomez, Stewater, Milner, Lucas, Inrostel and Milner are all absent due to injury, and Brazilian stars Coutinho and Firmino start together, Sturridge is a single arrow.

For Manchester United, Jesse Lingard is suspended, Valencia, Jones, Keane, Love, Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw, Jackson and Ashley Young are out injured, Marouane Fellaini and Schweinsteiger are back from injury, the former starting and the latter coming off the bench, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford joining in.

In the pick-up, Manchester United's captain Juan Mata lost the game, so United were given the right to kick off. With this kick-off, United got off to a dream start.

After the referee on duty, Spaniard Velasco blew the whistle for the start of the game, Manchester United kicked off. After a simple pass, United centre-back Chris Smalling delivered a long-range ball.

Marouane Fellaini didn't get the first point, but his jump also interfered with the Liverpool defenders, and the ball was eventually picked up by Depay near the left-hand corner of the pitch.

Depay picked up the ball and forced his left wing-back Klein before centre-back Lovren came over to defend before delivering a pinpoint cross.

The ball went straight into the six-yard box and a forwarding Marcus Rashford received the ball near the penalty spot.

Although Rashford is a little unprepared, his shooting skills are really good now, and his shooting skills of 85 are definitely the best scorers in today's football. may be top scorers like Ronaldo, Messi, and Ibrahimovic, who are better than him. Coupled with the fact that he has also increased his volley to a level 4, this makes him have no problem handling the incoming ball.

So, even in a hurry, Rashford's volley was a solid hit the ball. The ball made a ninety-point turn and whistled straight for the goal.

The incident happened suddenly, coupled with the fact that the distance was too close, although he was standing in the middle of the goal, but the attention was still on Depay, who was still focused on the breakthrough, there was no reaction to Rashford's shot.

12 seconds into the game, Depay sent a precise cross, and Rashford volleyed in near the penalty spot and shot through the Liverpool goal!

1:0, Manchester United take the lead in the away game!
