On the afternoon of March 17, the Liverpool team left their hotel and boarded a bus to Old Trafford in Manchester.

When the bus entered Manchester and headed for Old Trafford, the atmosphere of the decisive battle was already very strong.

Flags and slogans lining the road tell everyone that the night is a showdown between rivals Manchester United and Liverpool.

Along the way, you can see a large number of Liverpool fans, wearing Liverpool shirts, following the escort bus all the way, waving to the players, giving them a thumbs up, and later singing Liverpool's team song "You will never walk alone" all the way to Old Trafford.

The 76,000-capacity Old Trafford Stadium was left with only 5,000 away tickets for Liverpool fans, and according to media reports, more than 10,000 Liverpool fans came to Manchester on this day.

In other words, at least half of these Liverpool players who travel with the team on the road cannot enter Old Trafford to watch the game, and can only stay outside the stadium to cheer for Liverpool.

………………

At eight o'clock in the evening, the fans basically entered. A sky-chartered helicopter overlooked the famous Theatre of Dreams from the sky and saw a tiny number of away fans wearing Liverpool's away kits, like a small black island in a sea of red lava, completely surrounded by the home team's fans.

This design of Manchester United's home stadium maximizes the atmosphere of the stadium, which is one of the reasons why Manchester United's home stadium is one of the most famous devil's stadiums in the world.

In this game, Liverpool lined up with a 442 formation, with Firmino and Sturridge partnering in the attack, and Coutinho as the core of the organization.

At 20:05 GMT on March 17, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Amid the huge cheers of the whole stadium, the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2015-2016 Europa League, Manchester United's home match against Liverpool officially began.

The pace of the game was fast, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Jurgen Klopp noticed that United had been more conservative from the start of the game, adopting a counter-attacking tactic.

He wasn't too surprised by this, and it was normal for United to be able to guess that Liverpool would take advantage of the opening attack.

For Klopp, his arrangement of the team's opening attack is both a helpless choice and the best choice.

It would have been a good prospect for Liverpool to score a goal in the opening game when United were still on hold.

However, Klopp didn't expect Van Gaal to really underestimate him, nor did he expect the Manchester United players to be absent-minded at the start.

Therefore, for Van Gaal's conservative tactics in the opening game, this situation is also under Klopp's consideration.

………………

From the very beginning of the game, the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford put a lot of pressure on the Liverpool players, disrupting them with boos, insults, and movements.

However, Klopp is not surprised by this, because whether it is the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund that he coached before, or Liverpool who is now in charge, he is known for the crazy home atmosphere in world football, and such scenes can be said to have become commonplace.

In the 21st minute, Lovren launched a big foot transfer attack directly from the backline, Henderson chested the ball and passed to Lallana, who broke through with the ball and tried to pass Carrick to no avail, and passed the ball to Emre Can.

Emre Can crossed a high ball into the box and Sturridge reached out for Smalling's defence to stop the ball, but he stopped wide and the ball was comfortably collected by United goalkeeper David De Gea.

There was an overwhelming boo over Old Trafford and the mocking shouts of the home fans, all directed at Sturridge.

Sturridge was born in Manchester City's youth academy and has been to many Premier League clubs over the years, but whether it is Chelsea, Bolton, and now Liverpool, they are all mortal enemies of Manchester United.

Therefore, every time Sturridge comes to Old Trafford, he naturally does not get a good look from Manchester United fans. Now that he has made a mistake in stopping the ball, Manchester United fans naturally want to take the opportunity to ridicule him and create psychological pressure on him.

In fact, the United fans did so from the very beginning of the game, putting pressure on the Liverpool players, who were greeted with a tsunami of laughter and boos at the slightest mistake, and thunderous applause for every touch of the ball on the Manchester United players.

In fact, this is not only the case at Old Trafford, but also at any stadium in Europe that is known as the home stadium of the devil, such as Borussia Dortmund's home stadium Westfaren, Liverpool's home stadium Anfield, Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium, etc.

Of course, like the Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, the fans can't even boo their own players at every turn, and even wave white handkerchiefs, which is basically invisible.

After all, a person like a Real Madrid fan is the only one in the world without a semicolon.

………………

Liverpool attacked for almost half an hour and did not get any decent chances in the face of United's tight defence.

Jurgen Klopp began to review, could it be that Liverpool's attack was so strong that it completely suppressed Manchester United, leaving them with no time to attack? Or did Louis van Gaal decide to put the bus in today's race?

If Manchester United are determined to put the bus in place, then with Liverpool's attacking power, it will be really difficult to break down their goal.

At a dead-ball opportunity, Klopp called captain Jordan Henderson to the sidelines to make an adjustment to the team's tactics: slow down the attack!

Jurgen Klopp is looking to lure the snake out of the hole and hope that the pressure on the United backline will be reduced.

Of course, this is also the tactic he used to test Van Gaal today. After all, when Liverpool is not attacking and Manchester United is still grinding at the back, it means that Van Gaal has really decided to put the bus.

Then it was seen that Liverpool's attack slowed down and seemed to be in no hurry to score, and they slowly circled around in midfield and Manchester United.

On Manchester United's side, seeing that Liverpool slowed down their attack, they didn't press it out, and they still held it unhurriedly, anyway, now they are leading 3:2 on aggregate, and they are not in a hurry.

Van Gaal sat in the coach's box, his heart was still relatively calm, and this change in Liverpool was exactly what he wanted.

Louis van Gaal thought about the first half of the game, and if the first half could have ended 0-0, it would have been a win for Manchester United, and the passage of time would have been beneficial for Manchester United.
