156 It's too hard to score goals
The double red meeting and the battle for the top of the list made the players of both teams attach great importance to this game, and the players of both teams were also very cautious after the opening of the game, and the tactics of their own teams were extremely resolute. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The players were well aware that it was not going to be an easy game, as we proved after the game.
Liverpool's defence was so solid and airtight that United couldn't find a shot in the first ten minutes of the game, and were even ruthlessly stopped in front of the box.
A good defence doesn't mean Liverpool have the upper hand from the start of this game, as there is little doubt about how often the defence is passive. United, on the other hand, had more possession after the start of the game and executed their tactics well, putting the Reds under immense pressure.
Defensively, Liverpool were the better side, but Manchester United's attacking performance was better.
After the start of the game, both teams had their own strengths, and although the game only lasted ten minutes, the fans were looking forward to it.
This is the battle for the top of the table, this is the English derby; The close strength of the two teams will make the game more intense and beautiful, and such a contradictory battle will also make the gold content of the game continue to increase.
Qin Lang didn't feel solid because of the team's good defense now, but Van Persie had already scored sixteen league goals in previous games, which was no joke. Manchester United's goal count is also the highest in the halfway, all of which makes Qin Lang need to be cautious, he doesn't want to concede goals in such a crucial game, he doesn't want to lose the leader's position.
Qin Lang, who is very cautious, also knows very well that the game is not static, the team's defense is very good now, but Manchester United is constantly adjusting their tactics, they will make some changes, and they will definitely create some new opportunities, there is nothing to doubt about this, and an excellent team will definitely not be the same in tactics.
And defense is a passive thing after all, Liverpool wants to win the game at Old Trafford, not only to make Express Manchester United uncomfortable, but more importantly, if the team wants to occupy a more solid position in the standings, then this game must need a complete victory, there is no doubt about it!
"Guys, expand your defense, I need you out some."
Hearing Qin Lang's words, Skrtel glanced back at Qin Lang, and asked loudly without saying anything.
"Qin, are you sure? They are still very strong in attack now, do we need to defend well now, we can't concede goals! ”
Qin Lang shook his hand, his attitude was very resolute; Manchester United are really strong and they are really attacking hard. If the team just wants to hold on to a draw, Qin Lang can guarantee that a real steel defense line will be created in the game; It's just that Liverpool need to win the game, so it can't just be a dead defense, the team also needs to attack.
"No problem, we need to win! You need to control the tempo now, we can't keep them at their feet all the time. Guys, a lot of running! Gentlemen, we need to win the game here! ”
Since Qin Lang said so, plus the pre-game tactical arrangements also need to be implemented, so in this case, the team naturally needs to start going out to try a counterattack, and Liverpool needs to strengthen the offensive.
Manchester United may be happy at this time, because if Liverpool is just defending under the command of Qin Lang, then the Red Devils players really doubt whether they can achieve the final victory in the game, and this incomparably hard turtle shell is really difficult to break.
Now that the Liverpool players are no longer cowering, it naturally means that the United players will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and seek opportunities to attack the goal.
It was a courageous choice, at least as it seemed to Ferguson; Liverpool are now leading the table and if Liverpool are more defensive-oriented in this game, a draw at Old Trafford would be acceptable as they would remain one point clear at the top of the table.
However, the Reds did not choose what they are best at, they chose to attack with courage under the premise that the team had to bear huge defensive pressure, and Liverpool chose to attack with courage.
But Ferguson is also feeling the pressure because Liverpool's ambitions are just too big; This team is not happy with a draw at all, they are now running for the victory, this team is now trying to secure the top spot, they are now thinking of becoming the league champion this season!
'Thankfully, our midfield is starting to pick up a bit now, so we're not necessarily going to be so passive.
Looking at the movement in the midfield, watching the players of Liverpool finally cross the middle circle and be able to make a move, Qin Lang was a little relieved. It still needs enough manpower to do it, and Liverpool's offensive often needs to rely on manpower to be completely launched, which is really a tragic thing.
'Manchester United are doing well as well, they are a bit strong. These guys can definitely see a lot of space now, the defenders are out and we're a little bit empty at the back. Be careful, United could have problems once they counter-attack. ”
Seeing that the team's performance on the offensive end has improved somewhat, Qin Lang will also be cautious, because he knows that he must not be careless.
Be careful, the two teams are now starting to play against each other; The atmosphere at Old Trafford is also starting to get hot as the game is starting to heat up.
Not only did the fans at the scene start cheering enthusiastically, but the fans in front of the TV also began to look forward to it; If it is just a simple offensive and defensive drill battle, then this double red meeting with the nature of the top battle will also be relatively dull.
Only when there will be offense and defense will it be extremely exciting, only when you come and go will it be more intense and exciting, and this kind of game will be more beautiful.
Now Liverpool has chosen to attack with courage, Liverpool has chosen to attack now, Manchester United will definitely not feel good, they can't just attack indomitable now, they have to take care of defense now, they can't just beat Liverpool unilaterally in the game.
'The tempo is starting to pick up and United are starting to play on the wings. Well, these guys know that we don't have a very strong wide defense, and they still have good attacking ability on the wing. I have to be careful, our side can't be completely withdrawn yet, and if we attack out, we have to bear the defensive pressure, and you can't have both! ”
Sure enough, it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws, and Qin Lang knows very well that he needs to consider being more focused on the defensive end now.
Manchester United's attacking ability on the flanks is excellent, while Liverpool's wide defense is relatively average; Coupled with the fact that the team's back line needs to consider assists to move forward, this naturally leads to a decline in the team's defensive quality.
This is a chance for Manchester United, because Liverpool have managed to get it out, and this is a rare opportunity for Manchester United; It must be a lethal blow, because the Manchester United players are also worried that if they just blindly besiege and fail to achieve results, it may cause Liverpool's players to choose to retreat after being extremely passive, and it will be difficult to wait until Liverpool attack.
Now that Liverpool are attacking with blind confidence, Manchester United need to strike a lethal blow.
Shinji Kagawa, Welbeck and Cleverley play the pass and cut on the left side of the front, and these are all players with very good attacking ability; Not to mention the personal skills are excellent, and the tacit understanding is very good.
Glen Johnson is a quality player, and there's nothing to question about that; It's just that he's not the kind of character who can't be a husband, and he's under tremendous pressure right now. In addition, Liverpool did not have an excellent left midfielder to act as a barrier in front of Johnson, which led to a sharp increase in the pressure on Johnson.
Gerald and others wanted to give Johnson some help, but it was really limited; The Reds' successive combinations down the left flank completely tore through the Liverpool defence, and their incisive crosses cut straight through the Liverpool defence, and these men are now successful in the bottom, which is a real test.
Qin Lang felt the huge pressure as early as after Manchester United played a beautiful passing and cutting cooperation, and knew that this was the real test. That's why he's calling back the centre-backs, because he knows that such a wide attack needs a cross to create a real kill, and now he needs to be afraid of Van Persie.
Sure enough, when Qin Lang focused more on Manchester United's side breakthrough, the other players of Manchester United also began to wait for an opportunity; After Cleverley passed the ball, he decisively began to cut sideways and inside, and Van Persie followed up directly in the middle.
Patrice Evra passed the ball and he delivered a beautiful low cross that went straight to Robin van Persie, who had already penetrated into the heart of the box, a legendary nanny pass that would go straight to the net as long as Van Persie could get his hands on the spot.
There is not much to worry about, because Van Persie does not have a defender in front of him, and although Skrtel has reacted, he will definitely be half a beat slower, and it will be difficult for him to interfere with Van Persie more.
Qin Lang doesn't care about the situation on the wings at all now, he knows that Van Persie is the real super killer, and Qin Lang doesn't want Van Persie to score his seventeenth league goal of the season on him.
Van Persie didn't need to make any adjustments at all, he just raised his foot and gently pushed; It's a very good push, not to mention the beautiful pass from his teammates, and Van Persie, who is a top striker, naturally has excellent shooting skills, and he can still find the angle to shoot at such a moment, and he doesn't care about Skrtel, who is already close at hand.
Qin Lang took a big step, he knew that it was time to wait; Qin Lang, who flew sideways, stretched out his right hand hard, he now hoped that his arm span could be longer, if he and Liu Bei were like that, they would be more sure when they saved.
Van Persie's shot was really good, the ball went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal; The angle between the goal line and the post is a theoretical dead end.
Fortunately, this is Qin Lang, who noticed all the movements the moment Van Persie shot the goal, and Qin Lang, who was engrossed, did not hesitate or delay at all, so he appeared in a dangerous situation, and stretched out his hand to block lightly. Let the ball hit the steel wall that cannot be broken through the moment it is about to enter the goal line, and this goal will naturally not be achieved.
Fan Persie hugged his head in annoyance, and looked at Qin Lang who stood up slowly with some distraction; Although Van Persie knows that Qin Lang is a great goalkeeper, but now such an inevitable goal is rejected like this, and of course there is a big psychological gap, this is Qin Lang's strength, and this is also where Van Persie is hit the most now.
The sighs at Old Trafford were loud and the goals Red Devils fans were expecting looked like they weren't going to be easy; It is really difficult to break through the goal guarded by Qin Lang, and it is too difficult for Manchester United to regain the top position in the home game against Liverpool.
The Liverpool players are very happy because Qin Lang's performance is so good; Although Manchester United's attack had terrified Liverpool's players, they were still in the mood for more. But think about Qin Lang's performance, the Red Army soldiers are also full of confidence and confidence, they feel that with Qin Lang sitting in front of the goal, there is no need to worry about a painful defeat in this game.
To be invincible, this is the value of Qin Lang; He may struggle to provide direct assists, and scoring goals is more of an impossible task. It's just that Qin Lang is here, the team at least doesn't need to worry too much about defensive things, and Liverpool can guarantee the possibility of a draw.
Qin Lang has lost the game and Liverpool has also been scored by the opponent, which is no problem at all; Qin Lang's greatest value is to build Liverpool's defense into the top defense line almost single-handedly, Qin Lang can make Liverpool's players not have too many worries when choosing to attack.
United's players have not lost faith by missing such a great opportunity and are still looking for opportunities to continue to attack Liverpool's defence. Liverpool's players are not complacent because they have some good defensive performances, and the most important thing they need now is to organise an effective attack.
Here it is, Manchester United's offensive is here again.
As the temporarily retreating Manchester United controlled the tempo and stretched out the opposition's formation, the Red Devils players who had exhausted their strength suddenly erupted again, looking for a lethal opportunity this time.
Ashley Young's right rib went straight into the arc of the penalty area, and Van Persie fired a left-footed shot from fifteen meters from goal, but Qin Lang slapped the ball down with one palm.
Qin Lang once again rejected Manchester United's shot, Qin Lang standing in front of the goal is like an insurmountable mountain, it is really too difficult for Manchester United to score! (To be continued.) )
