The first half of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals has ended.

Manchester United are riding high as always.

Manchester City were hoping for a disgrace, but now even the dogs in the homes of Manchester City fans are a bit messy.

Pep Guardiola seems to have been completely lost in his thinking.

Three backs, not center-forwards.

The ancestral control of abuse is really strong, but it can also work if it is a strong team that played Liverpool and Manchester United in the trough in the past few years, and now whether it is a Premier League civil war or the Champions League encounters a team that will fight back, it is basically necessary to pull the hips.

After the half-time break, the second half changed sides and fought again.

Manchester City are playing steadily, and Manchester United continue to defend against the swing.

City are still scoreless and the action in defence is getting bigger.

In the 62nd minute of the game, a familiar scene appeared again.

Even though Ye Yifeng was targeted at the first time on the counter-attack, he chose to pass the ball back, then ran forward and let B Fei and Juan Mata organize the pass, and Luke Shaw cut through the Manchester City wing from the left at high speed.

Delivering a quality cross near the edge of the box.

Ye Yifeng ran into the penalty area and pulled away from the back point, facing the falling football without adjusting and volleying directly!

Confident and clean.

The soccer ball flies straight to the far corner of the goal!

Fatal with one hit!

Ye Yifeng, who completed his hat-trick, ran to the sidelines with a relaxed pace to enjoy the cheers from the Manchester United fans.

Pep Guardiola wiped his face on the sidelines.

Bombed again?!

Well? Again?!

Mourinho is still laughing insolently.

But after laughing, his expression became serious.

Laugh fart!

Three days later, we will play Liverpool, the top battle!

That's why Manchester United put a bus today to cope with this Carabao Cup with low cost.

As long as he thought that Liverpool did not have a League Cup task and could rest more fully, Mourinho's mood was a little heavy.

Now he and Klopp are in the same mood: why don't you lose yet?!

Manchester City were indeed blown up.

If this is a final and United have no worries, they are more than capable of extending their winning success.

But considering the upcoming battle of the Premier League, just after the 75th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Ye Yifeng, B Fei, and McTuominay together.

Ye Yifeng had some regrets.

Rivaldo just opened and hung up, and he didn't ask for five sons to go to the department, and most of the seniors were playful.

But he also knows that the game against Liverpool right away will be the highlight.

You can only adjust your mentality and sit on the bench.

United's counter-attacking threat weakened and City launched a furious attack in the final 15 minutes, with Riyad Mahrez and B-Silva each scoring two goals back.

B Fei, who was sitting on the bench, was dumbfounded.

Later, he found that Ye Yifeng, who was beside him, was calm.

He turned his head in confusion and asked, "It's about to be leveled, captain, aren't you surprised?" ”

Ye Yifeng said casually: "Except for you, you will be surprised to see who is here." ”

B Fei looked around, and it really didn't seem that anyone was making a fuss, and even the Red Devils fans in the stands were not shocked except for a little depressed.

Ye Yifeng said to him: "It seems that you haven't really integrated into Manchester United. ”

B Fei was speechless.

Manchester United were ultimately conceded a third goal by Manchester City.

The game is over.

In the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-2 at home to take the lead.

At the end of the month, we will return to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg.

Ye Yifeng, who scored a hat trick of goals, can take the game ball home for collection.

Mourinho's mind is no longer on the Carabao Cup, and he didn't bother to talk to Guardiola after the game.

Even if Pep Guardiola insisted that Manchester City could turn the tables at home in the second leg.

City have lost just one of the two legs away, and it seems that the result is not bad.

......

Ye Yifeng and Tang Mo reserve New Year's goods, although there are only two people for the New Year, Tang Mo will definitely make them live a more ceremonial life.

Prepare traditional food by yourself, still retain the traditions of the past, and prepare beautiful new clothes for the New Year.

Ye Yifeng was the driver, and he didn't feel tired at all.

......

The English derby is set to take place at Anfield.

Global attention!

In the words of the fans, Liverpool and Manchester United are both teams that are trading their lives for victory, and it is time to see who has the tougher life!

Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial burst into tears.

They seem to have been forgotten by the media.

Mourinho hasn't forgotten about them, but doesn't think it's time to move them back to the first team.

Give them enough lessons to remember for a long time!

At the very least, stay in the reserves for a month.

Jurgen Klopp joked before the game: "The outcome of this game is likely to be a direct decision on the championship." ”

Jose Mourinho also said that Manchester United will try to win away from home to end the suspense of the title race.

January 19, afternoon.

Manchester United buses arrive at Anfield.

The Anfield stadium was packed, and the fans of both teams began to cheer on before the game, and the confrontation was high, accompanied by obvious tension.

It seems that in the eyes of everyone, this is a game that neither the Red Devils nor the Reds can afford to lose.

Even fans of other leagues can't understand the Premier League title race.

22 rounds of fighting.

Manchester United have won 21 in a row, with a game in hand.

Liverpool 21-1.

This is already a higher level of Star Wars than the Super League!

In the pre-match locker room.

Jose Mourinho gave an impassioned speech and frantically whipped the team.

Consciously or unconsciously, I took a few more looks at James and Greenwood, as if this was their battle for the top position!

Without Rashford and Anthony Martial, although Manchester United is not a ghost, it is also the king of the devil who brings a new star to the world!

The starters of both teams came on.

All of them are full of fighting spirit and heroic posture.

Ye Yifeng just got a haircut yesterday, because the Spring Festival is about to happen, and Chinese traditionally can't get a haircut for the next month.

The whole person looks extremely energetic.

I can't tell it's Ben San's age at all.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Premier League 23rd round at Anfield.

Reds Liverpool take on Red Devils Manchester United!

Last season's Premier League champions Liverpool have arguably continued to work hard this season and are even better than last season.

In the 22 rounds of the league that have ended, they have a terrifying record of 21 wins and 1 loss.

And Manchester United, who is currently ranked second in the league with one less round of games on goal difference, is even more terrifying!

They have won 21 consecutive Premier League games since the start of the Premier League in August last year, creating a winning streak in the top league of European football.

Today, these two almost invincible teams will go head-to-head.

The two teams have met twice this season, with Liverpool beating Manchester United in the Community Shield and Liverpool in the first half of the league meeting.

Today's English derby is both a title race and revenge for the home team Liverpool!

Manchester United, on the other hand, have been away from the league title for seven years and are desperate to regain their dominance of English football this season!

Here's a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Liverpool started 433.

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson.

Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Manchester United started 433.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Fred, B. Fernandes, McTominay.

Forwards: Mason Greenwood, Yifeng Yifeng, James.

While the Premier League champion is uncertain, the Premier League's top scorer should be out of the way.

Ye Yifeng, who scored 29 goals in 21 league rounds, continued his terrifying scoring efficiency over the past many years.

But if he can't win the Premier League, his Golden Boot award will be greatly diminished.

Well, the two teams are about to go to war, so let's see if Liverpool will get their revenge at home today, or Manchester United will continue their winning streak at Anfield! ”

Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho stood on the sidelines and watched the battle with all seriousness.

In fact, Mourinho is curious about what tactics Klopp will make his team play.

Jurgen Klopp's side were very aggressive in the Community Shield, breaking down United's defence in their pressing.

But in the first half of the league meeting, they pressed almost the same amount of pressure only to be destroyed by Manchester United with a counter-attack.

Today, the Red Army's trident is neat and tidy, and the firepower is sufficient, so it should continue to press.

He thought so.

Without the addition of B Fee, Klopp will probably indeed make the Reds play actively and bravely, but referring to the linkage between Ye Yifeng and B Fee in Manchester United's past few games, Klopp finally dispelled the idea.

The murderous intent is too heavy, but it is easy to fall for Mourinho's way!

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the Red Army defense line may not be foolproof in response to Ye Yifeng's counterattack.

The game started with caution on both teams.

Manchester United's 433 is also based on counterattacking and fast attack, and does not plan to put more effort into positional warfare.

Ye Yifeng is naturally the target of the focus on being limited in the middle, and when B Fei organizes the offensive, he tries to distribute the ball to the wings as much as possible.

James and Greenwood's battle for the upper position, both of them are extremely focused, but they don't attack when they have the opportunity, which is no different from the second fool.

If you don't have a good breakthrough environment, you can pass the ball back and try to be stable.

Although Alexander-Arnold's defense has been criticized, not everyone can be bullied when he is in good shape.

James and Mason Greenwood's attacking efficiency is mediocre, and the quality of Liverpool's defence is obvious to all, and their terrifying record is a contributor to the defence.

The Liverpool midfielder did not dare to press too much, and the attack only relied on the trident to create a threat.

In terms of play, it is actually very similar to Manchester United.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah took turns attacking on the wings, and the style was dominated by in-cuts.

The two teams went back and forth after several waves of attacks, but they were unable to create a clear threat.

Ye Yifeng plans to go to the left side to support James, but he still has the same old idea.

Clear the left side first, and there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities.

Ye Yifeng just decided to change his thinking.

Liverpool's wave of attack hit the left side of the field, and Wan-Bissaka turned and tackled the ball first when it was broken by Mane.

Liverpool corner kick attack.

Alexander-Arnold goes for a corner.

The Liverpool army pressed.

When Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner kick fell, the ball flew to the back of the box, Manchester United's header Harry Maguire jumped up to clear, but at the same time, Liverpool's world defender also jumped next to him and took the lead to touch the ball and head the goal!

Maguire loses!

Manchester United goalkeeper lost!
