1408 The Red Devil who does not bow his head
When Liverpool launched their first attack after the opening kick-off, the Red Devils fans in the stands saw a shocking scene!
Qin Xiong entered the penalty area and shot with his feet!
The Reds fans were ecstatic, and at the same time their blood was pumping and ready to cheer!
Qin Xiong did not disappoint his teammates and fans.
BOOM!
A groundbreaking volley from inside the box sent the ball like a cannonball into the middle of the left area of the United goal.
De Gea's slow save pales!
He got up from the ground and expressed his confusion at the backline.
If Liverpool breaks through the defense in this way, this game will be completely over!
After Qin Xiong broke the goal, he came to the front of the KOP stand with his arms constantly raised, signaling that the cheering momentum on the court was more enthusiastic!
Gerald rushed up from behind and jumped on Qin Xiong's back, raising his fist high and roaring.
Against their sworn enemies, Liverpool got off to a dream start and scored on the first attack!
“WTH! Liverpool have scored!
Qin Xiong responded to Suarez's cross and then went to the ball into the penalty area to shoot!
What are Manchester United's defence doing?
Ferdinand and Smalling stared at Suarez, no problem, Evans and Evra stared at Gerrard and Kuyt, at this time, should Evans move over to block Qin Xiong, or other problems?
In any case, Liverpool's current formation and style of play make Manchester United very uncomfortable.
They look like they'll have to put at least five defenders in action to be able to block the opposition's back-of-the-box.
Koeman withdrew Qin Xiong's position this season and let him play the role of a free man in the frontcourt, and Qin Xiong's scoring efficiency has not decreased, and there is even an upward trend.
United's problem should still be in midfield.
Fletcher went to follow Gerrard, who was plugged in, and it wasn't too much of a problem.
But Phil Jones failed to follow or interfere with Qin Xiong, which is the deadliest!
Ferguson probably didn't expect his team to come to Anfield and concede a goal in the first minute of the battle. ”
Ferguson grimed on the sidelines.
Coman looked at Qin Xiong's back as he went to celebrate, applauding and feeling emotional.
When he was at Ajax, Qin Xiong played in many positions such as playmaking forward, winger, central midfielder, etc., and Koeman's understanding of Qin Xiong was not achieved in a day, so he may be one of the managers who can use Qin Xiong more flexibly.
At Ajax, he regarded Qin Xiong as his lucky general, Qin Xiong's emergence helped Ajax reach the top of Europe, and in Liverpool, Koeman has defined Qin Xiong as the soul and heart of Liverpool, which is a key player in Liverpool's success or failure.
Koeman turned his head to look at Ferguson, and to be honest, at this moment, he did not despise Ferguson, nor did he have the slightest arrogance.
He knew Ferguson's ability to fit the team together was beyond his belt.
But he also admired Ferguson's stubbornness even more.
Manchester United have given up their two-striker style of play in this game today.
But the overall posture is still reluctant to show the fact that he is weaker than Liverpool.
There was nothing wrong with Manchester United sapping a combination of sappers to contain Liverpool's attack, but they didn't do a good job of compressing the space limit.
Just like with the peak lineup of Real Madrid, when facing Barcelona, they will put on a dense defense and play extreme defense.
However, United will not do so against Liverpool, and Koeman believes that if it were Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid at Anfield today, Mourinho would have defended tightly.
But Ferguson didn't, he just weakened the attack and strengthened the midfield defense.
Midfielder?
Phil Jones, Ji-Sung Park, Fletcher.
If these three players take off the Red Devils shirt, what kind of teams will they be interested in in Europe?
Do they have what it takes to establish themselves in top teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool?
Not at all!
If it weren't for the fact that two of them had English hukou, and if it weren't for the team effect that they wore in Red Devils shirts and were trained by Alex Ferguson, they wouldn't have been in the eyes of Europe's top teams at all.
In other words, I have to admire Alex Ferguson's ability to put together the team, and he has always been able to exceed expectations of players who are actually ordinary, not even first-class top players.
But there is a limit to this.
Liverpool's super attacking strength is difficult to resist in a midfield like Manchester United!
Alex Ferguson also came to his senses after conceding the goal, gesturing to his players from the sidelines, signaling Phil Jones and Fletcher to form a barrier in front of the penalty area and not stay away from the back line.
Liverpool's side were quick on the offensive and they played their own tricks after the restart.
Defensively, the Reds' attacking formation is cut through, so that the opponent cannot penetrate the defense even if he has a chance to counter-attack.
In the 6th minute of the game, Ashley Young rushed forward from the right, and when he came to the penalty area, Park Ji-sung, who followed up in the middle, was defended by Alonso and Mascherano.
Instead of crossing, Young sent the ball diagonally to Wayne Rooney, who was running in from the middle of the box.
Rooney stopped the ball and turned to break into the box, Thiago Silva cut in front of Rooney with precision, allowing Rooney to separate the ball, and then slid the ball in the direction of the baseline and smashed the ball diagonally to full-back Baines.
Rooney immediately counter-tackled, but he gave up after Baines dribbled.
United's defence was in a dense defensive posture, with Liverpool starting to shoot frequently from beyond the frequencies.
David De Gea made his Premier League debut and one of his weaknesses was criticised by the media for his inconsistent response to long-range shots.
In the 9th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Johnson's cross in the middle of the front field and then kept the ball and shot a cold arrow.
A curling shot went over the head of the United defender and the ball fell into the top right corner of the goal, De Gea made a flying save that could not touch the ball, but it eventually bounced off the crossbar.
Anfield sighed one after another.
Six minutes later, Ryan Giggs got caught in a bag on the left and crossed the ball to Park Ji-sung in the middle, but the South Korean king had just dipped the ball past Gerrard before Alonso stepped forward to steal it.
Liverpool launched a fast attack.
Qin Xiong suddenly pulled to the right, which made Evra extremely nervous, and after Alonso passed the ball over, Qin Xiong lightly flicked the ball to the right rib of the penalty area with the outside of his right foot.
Evans was first in a good position by Kuyt, who slotted into the right side of the box and swept the ball towards the middle of goal.
Suarez scrambled ahead of Rio Ferdinand, and De Gea was alert to open his arms and lower his centre of gravity to widen the defence.
Suarez's shot hit De Gea's thigh and bounced diagonally off the line.
Suarez looked up and sighed, then turned back to Kuytbi and gave a thumbs up.
Liverpool's onslaught also left United without a breather. (To be continued.) )
