………………………………
Meanwhile, in the visiting dressing room, the atmosphere among the Liverpool players was a bit dreary.
Klopp's expression was solemn, and Van Gaal, who was good at controlling the ball, did quite well when he was focused on defensive counter-attacking tactics, and it was not easy to break through their goal.
It was too late to take over the team by himself, and he didn't adjust the team's offense to the best, resulting in the team's average attacking power. Just look at the league goal tally, Liverpool have played 28 games so far, scoring 45 goals, averaging 1.61 goals per game, and their attacking power is very average.
Jurgen Klopp is really eager to snatch Manchester United's No.39 for his own use, this kid is terrible.
Before his debut, Manchester United had only scored 33 goals in 26 rounds, and his attack power could be described as outrageously weak. However, since that kid entered the game, Manchester United has scored 13 goals in three rounds, and that kid has scored 11 goals alone, and the total number of Premier League goals has surpassed Liverpool.
It's a pity that he can only think about it.
In the face of Manchester United's tight defense, Liverpool had to attack hard, and when the score was behind, it was so helpless.
Although Jurgen Klopp knows that after his team presses out to attack, the defence could be caught by Manchester United, after all, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard are not bad at speed and are good at counter-attacking quickly.
However, neither he nor Liverpool had a choice.
Liverpool's players are a little demoralised and everyone knows how difficult the situation is right now.
However, the team's predicament eventually turned into morale-boosting words in Klopp's mouth, and he used the last Premier League game against Manchester City to tell his disciples that they could beat the mighty Manchester City 3-0, so why not score three goals in 45 minutes to win the game?
What's more, Liverpool has not failed to do such a thing, 11 years ago, their predecessors accomplished such a feat, and it was in the Champions League final.
Klopp waved his arm and said, "Since the predecessors have done such a thing, I believe we can do it too!" ”
"Attack, score! Narrow the score! Equalize! Comeback! ”
"This is the path we are taking!"
"Tell the Man Utd that we're not dead, we're alive and will live well!"
Jurgen Klopp is a scendiary manager, and he is good at doing this kind of thing, and the Liverpool player, who was still a little sluggish, made his eyes red with a few words of agitation.
………………
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly and the two sides returned to the pitch with the referee blowing the whistle for the start of the second half.
After the start of the second half, even those who no longer knew the ball could see that the Liverpudlians had stepped up their attack.
More precisely, it was the Liverpudlians who attacked wildly, even pressing Manchester United in the half, as they did in the first leg at Anfield.
Seeing the team's attack, thousands of Liverpool fans who traveled to Old Trafford and Reds fans in front of the TV sang "You'll Never Go Alone" to cheer for Liverpool.
This is a way that is unique to Liverpool fans.
No matter how difficult the moment, the fans always have the last hope for the team.
Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, has not been back in his seat since the second half, and he has been directing the team's attack from the sidelines.
Liverpool launched wave after wave of attacks into United's penalty area, like a raging tide.
"Sturridge! Header ferry! Coutinho! Shot! The Manchester United TV announcer shouted.
Then De Gea saved Coutinho's shot, and he said with palpitations: "Van Gaal is planning to hold on to the two-goal lead, but such a passive situation, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold, and the Liverpudlians only need a little luck to get very close to the goal." ”
Liverpool's corner.
Henderson's corner, Sako's header was slightly high, and the United people were in a cold sweat.
………………
Van Gaal sees the team's passivity. He was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liverpool in the second half to burst out with huge energy at the beginning, which he didn't expect.
In the face of the opponent's fierce attack, the defense is very dangerous, and a bad luck can concede the ball at any time. And once the Liverpudlian scored a goal, then the situation immediately changed subtly. The Liverpudlians see hope that they will be even more ferocious.
Van Gaal is thinking about countermeasures, and he can't be so passive.
Sitting in the coach's box, Van Gaal was carefully observing the situation on the field. The team fell into passivity, defending all the way, and Rashford was also constantly retreating, and he has now withdrawn to the center circle, which is still the top player of Manchester United.
Rashford is running at all costs, waiting and looking for opportunities to counter-attack, even if the pass after winning the ball cannot be passed to his feet, but Rashford still runs at the end of his body every time.
He has always believed in one thing - opportunities are reserved for the prepared!
Dozens of useless runs, in order to succeed!
………………
Liverpool deployed troops one after another.
In the 69th minute of the game, Sturridge, who had a mediocre performance in this game, was replaced, and another striker, Origi, came on as a substitute.
Two minutes later, Liverpool's captain Jordan Henderson was replaced by No.24 Joe Allen.
Liverpool can be said to be fighting for their lives, after Sturridge and Henderson were substituted successively, look at Liverpool's midfield, Coutinho, Joe Allen, Emre Can, Lallana and Fan and Origi on the front line, this is completely desperate to attack.
In the face of difficult difficulties, the Red Army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
"Lallana breakthrough, very beautiful! He crosses, Firmino's header! It's too upright, De Gea hugs the football, it's a pity! Firmino was not able to stand up to the power! ”
'Coutinho's long-range shot – grazed the post and flew out!'
'Liverpool continued to possess the ball, Emre Can passed, Origi leaned on Smalling, he passed! Lallana shoots, hit high! “
'Joe Allen was in the box and he shot! The shot was powerless, De Gea saved, Blind came back and cleared the ball......"
'Marouane Fellaini fouled on the right side of the box, Liverpool's free-kick, Coutinho drove the ball into the box, Firmino headed it over the crossbar! Emre Can tops at the back post! The ball went in...... Oh no, it's the side net! It's a shame, it's like getting in from this angle......"
"Liverpool are on the offensive and their attack is putting Manchester United's goal in jeopardy!"
