In the 51st minute, Matic tackled De Bruyne's ball beautifully, and Li Liang cleverly controlled the ball at his feet on the side.

In the first five minutes of the second half, Li Liang's number of touches far exceeded that of the entire first half.

The home fans in the stands chanted "There is only one Lee in the world" – after all, the Reds fans were impressed by the team's glitz at a few key moments, especially at Anfield.

Li Liang had already observed the situation clearly, and quickly moved to the left with the ball himself.

Before De Bruyne could get to his feet, Sterling quickly sprinted back.

Even without the repeated emphasises of Pep Guardiola and Torrent in the pre-match preparations, the Manchester City players know exactly what kind of role Manchester United's No.7 is!

Li Liang stubbornly resisted Sterling, who had a clear advantage in speed, and he used his body to separate the ball from Sterling.

Raheem Sterling kept making small movements behind him, and the referee who was following closely was highly nervous, keeping the whistle in his mouth and focusing on it.

Li Liang's footsteps were a little staggering, and at this time, Walker was already in a good position and waiting.

Ashley Young's follow-up was a little slow, and in desperation, Rashford, who had been detouring to the middle, had to return to Li Liang to pull the wing.

Walker was unmoved, and it was imperative to avoid Li Liang's internal breakthrough in such a two-year and sophomore situation.

Romelu Lukaku was still on the far left and City's two centre-backs, Vincent Kompany and Otamendi, were firmly in the box, and Li Liang slowed down the ball in desperation.

Magic Bird and Faria shouted at the same time, "Hurry up!" Plug it in! ”

Seeing that this opportunity for a quick counterattack was missed, the two of them were anxious in the dugout.

Thierry Henry was quick to speak: "Perfect defensive positioning, Manchester City seem to have guessed the opponent's possible attack routes, and there is no problem with the movement of the whole defence!" ”

Big Neville was a little disappointed: "If everyone acted immediately at the moment when Lee got the ball, maybe this counterattack would break through Manchester City's defense!" ”

Li Liang turned his back around Sterling to start the meeting, and the quick counterattack had to be converted into a positional attack.

Patrick Vieira shook his head: "How can one less person infiltrate it, and this is not the way Manchester United are used to playing!" ”

Latanzio was thoughtful: "Patrick, this is perhaps Lee's most accustomed style of play?"

As he spoke, Li Liang had already given the ball to Matic, and then turned around and continued to rush forward.

United's attackers re-positioned, Li Liang cut straight into the box, and Kompany quickly stepped forward as planned.

Nemanja Matic and Yang and Valencia on either side patiently reversed the ball in front of the 30-meter area, and Kompany said behind Li Liang: "Lee, remember the game we played at the Etihad two years ago?!" ”

"Of course I do!" Li Liang replied.

Kompany said word for word: "That time counts as if you won ......"

Jesse Lingard suddenly cut diagonally into the box from the right, Li Liang didn't care what Kompany said, and immediately strode back to catch the ball.

With his back to the goal, he has seen the line of tactical coordination!

As long as he gets out of Vincent Kompany, Lingard and Lukaku have a chance to spark in the box!

The shouts in the stands have become louder and louder, and Li Liang can feel that the Manchester City captain is chasing after him-

Valencia passed the ball diagonally to Li Liang on the right, and Manchester United's No. 7 planned to receive the ball and cooperate with his teammates, turn around and pass forward as soon as possible, and then immediately enter the penalty area and attack with two teammates!

He tried to lower his center of gravity to get under Kompany and take control of the ball, but the expected fierce physical confrontation did not happen!

In the loud exclamation of the audience, he felt as if he had heard Xiaoyu's scream: "Be careful————"

A huge force was simply unstoppable, and from the bottom up, even himself and the ball were swept out!

Li Liang fell heavily on the turf on his back, and when he gritted his teeth and looked up and opened his eyes, he saw Kompany striding past him, and instantly controlled the ball to move forward at full speed-

Nemanja Matic raised his hand and shouted, signaling for a foul and rushing towards Kompany, Valencia desperately running back!

Even so, Li Liang can see that there are far more blue figures rushing forward than Manchester United players replaying!

Kompany crossed the ball to Kevin De Bruyne next to him before Nemanja Matic intercepted, who turned and flashed the gap in quick succession, and slotted the ball diagonally behind Valencia with a big foot -

Sane stepped on the offside line and forced his speed past the filling Chris Smalling, and before the ball was about to roll out of the sideline, he fell to the ground and completed the inverted triangle pass with his left foot!

In the exclamation of the fans in the stadium, Xiwa felt that he had raised his hand to get rid of the action of making a winning shot!

Manchester United's Argentine central defender Rojo jumped up and blocked the gun hole desperately, but he didn't expect Xiwa to dunk the ball from the air lightly to get rid of it!

Sheva's national team teammate De Gea had already rushed out with a yell, and Sheeva grabbed a right-footed shot before De Gea -

Like watching slow motion, Li Liang, who had already gotten up, was shocked to see De Gea at a distance that was almost impossible to react to, as if subconsciously raising his left arm to pounce on the ball!

The ball deflected off the line and United narrowly escaped.

Eva lay on her back on the turf in frustration, and De Gea jumped up like an electric shock and roared wildly: "What the hell are you doing?

Shit! ”

Chris Smalling and Valencia both spread their arms helplessly, and the Manchester United players on the field all set their eyes on Li Liang, who conceded the ball and caused the opponent to play a deadly counterattack.

The singing of Li Liang disappeared in an instant, and the Red Devils fans who survived the catastrophe finally booed in dissatisfaction.

Da Kui said with a shocked face: "!

It's so fast!

These guys have been slowly falling and falling, and in less than 5 seconds, 3 passes have formed a shooting opportunity from the backfield......

That's amazing......

But Dongzi, Kompany really didn't foul just now?! ”

The magic bird shouted at Li Liang on the sidelines: "Li, speed!"

Faster! ”

Lukaku also complained on the sidelines: "Lee, you play too complicated, always leave them enough time to react!"

The simpler we have to play, the better! ”

Li Liang stared at the big screen as he ran back, and the whole process of Manchester City's counterattack was being replayed in the screen.

Kompany was already preparing to tackle from the side and back when he was ready to receive the ball, and with his first-minute judgment and precise timing, the City captain won the game in this defence.

Li Liang thought hard about it, and the counterattack routine played by Manchester City after being cut off was exactly what he hoped to plan the most!

The opponent successfully suppressed the rapid advance of Manchester United, and then completed the offensive and defensive transition in the first time, if it were not for De Gea's godly success, Xiwa would definitely complete the brace.

What to do?
