Manchester United started the game with momentum and it was important to set the tone for the game.

The reason why Liverpool were able to draw at home to Manchester United in the first half of the season was because Koeman adopted a counter-attacking tactical strategy that paid off.

But today, Liverpool will have to compete head-on with Manchester United even away from home!

Because Coman believes that Liverpool need to completely shape the temperament of a king!

And the temperament of a king is not a utilitarian thinking.

In the real top-level confrontation, it is necessary to show the momentum of head-on confrontation, that is, to at least show the courage and courage to overwhelm or even crush the opponent on the field!

Liverpool also started to play fast, playing on the wing.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Gerrard split the ball to the left wing in midfield.

When Qin Xiong touched the ball, Manchester United became highly nervous.

Although Valencia came to the team as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, he obviously could not reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo, he was more of a conscientious fighter.

One of the important tactical tasks assigned to him by Ferguson is to defend Qin Xiong, and he must be able to follow him like a shadow!

When Qin Xiong was advancing the ball, Valencia chased behind him all the way, and sometimes when he was about to make contact with Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong blocked Valencia's pressing by dribbling to protect the ball.

After Qin Xiong came to the offensive danger zone forty yards away from the goal, the defender Fletcher rushed over to help defend, but he did not rush up, but blocked Qin Xiong's inward cutting line, so that Qin Xiong could not change the direction of the ball in advance.

Then it was to Neville's defensive zone, and Neville came up to make a ferocious interception.

Qin Xiong was aware of it before the game, and he knew that he would be the focus of the opponent's marking. Especially a pragmatic team like Manchester United. It's definitely not a team that lacks sappers like Real Madrid.

He was caught in the middle of a three-bread trap and didn't break through. Only passing is an option.

Qin Xiong crossed the ball with his left foot, and the ball flew between Neville and Fletcher into the box.

Fletcher and Neville were reluctant: after all, let him pass the ball!

It was a good goal, but Torres struggled to do anything with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

The cross is cleared by Ferdinand's header!

The ejected ball fell to Carrick's feet, and Gerrard immediately counter-attacked, who decisively split the ball down the left flank.

Full-back Patrice Evra stepped forward to receive the ball from behind.

Kuyt had just run wide to stop Patrice Evra, but the French full-back had already passed the ball straight to Nani in front.

Nani started again after stopping the ball and went straight to the inside line.

He struck from 35 yards in front of Alonso.

The football put anti-aircraft guns.

But Manchester United's attack can be seen to be very decisive!

Liverpool once again wanted to attack from the wing, but Qin Xiong was closely guarded by the opponent.

Kuyt's ability to break down the flanks is limited. Gerrard tried to move himself to the right to play up Kuyt.

After a one-two, Gerrard found his way into the box near the bottom line, where he kicked the ball back in the face of Nemanja Vidic's pressure and then crossed it to the ground in front of goal.

Torres got rid of Rio Ferdinand to grab the point, but the veteran goalkeeper Van der Sar was alert enough to rush forward and pounce on the ball.

Torres is feeling the pressure and has to admit that United's centre-back duo is still one of the best in the world.

Rio Ferdinand + Nemanja Vidic, this was the best defensive combination in the world in Europe two years ago.

Manchester United almost beat the wide crosses to the brim, and it was this simple routine that made Liverpool's wide defence difficult.

In the 8th minute of the game, Nani dribbled forward on the left side of the field. After coming to the penalty area, he made a one-two with Rooney, who slashed the ball into the bottom line of the penalty area. Nani rushed past Johnson and controlled the ball in front of the baseline.

He watched the ball back to the top of the arc of the penalty area, where Park Ji-sung met the ball and shot angrily!

It was Manchester United's first shot on goal.

Reyna made a brilliant save to keep the ball out of bounds.

"Liverpool's danger in front of goal was defused by Reina, Manchester United's fast attack was dazzling, they made a simple combination by pushing forward quickly, and then creating a shot on goal, this is the quintessential Manchester United, simple and efficient attacking combination!"

Manchester United's corner kick failed to threaten.

Liverpool, for their part, have to think about how to attack.

Qin Xiong was often caught in the bag and was watched, which was not a good sign.

For a while, even Manchester United fans thought that Liverpool's trump card was completely limited by Ferguson's defensive tactics.

In almost five minutes of four attacks, Qin Xiong failed to touch the ball, and Neville, Fletcher, and Valencia made it difficult for Qin Xiong to get a good chance.

Qin Xiong's mentality is very calm, he is never afraid of difficulties, in such a situation, he will calmly think about how to break the situation.

He began to take the initiative to withdraw from the attacking danger zone, away from the United goal, and then moved from the wing to the middle.

Seeing the change in his activities, Gerald immediately understood.

In the 11th minute of the game, Alonso controlled the ball in the midfield, and after making a one-two with Mascherano to get rid of Park Ji-sung's pressing, Alonso passed the ball to the halfway zone.

Carrick thought Gerrard would stop the ball, but Gerrard scurried forward without looking back.

Qin Xiong cut to the middle behind him and led the ball halfway, Fletcher, Valencia, plus Park Ji-sung who returned to the defense, Qin Xiong still didn't have much space to make a breakthrough, and the local siege of the Manchester United team was still very tacit.

Qin Xiong did not intend to possess the ball or dribble for a long time to advance the attack, after he attracted many defensive players, his purpose was to liberate Gerrard and let Gerrard become the center of gravity of the attack, which was also something Gerrard could understand.

Caught in the trap of multiple people, Qin Xiong shook the ball horizontally and shook the angle and sent it straight out.

The ball rolled past Carrick and straight into Gerrard's line.

Gerrard went straight to the penalty area and as Vidic was ready to get up, he played a diagonal pass to Torres with his back to the box.

With his back to Rio Ferdinand, Torres didn't turn to knock the ball diagonally behind Vidic, who stepped forward after Gerrard played the ball and tried to pull Gerrard to interfere with it.

A touch of the ball is a shot!

However, Gerrard was a little reluctant to shoot the ball because Vidic turned and caused a physical disturbance to him.

The power was not sufficient, the ball flew slowly towards the goal, and the angle was not too good.

Van der Sar steadyly takes the ball straight into his arms!

"Liverpool made a threatening attack and formed a shot, but unfortunately Gerrard sent the ball directly into Van der Sar's arms, what a pity!" (To be continued.) )
