Michael Carrick led the Reds for four months and essentially secured his position as manager.

It can only be said that it is uncertain whether he will coach next season, after all, the fate of the coach of the big club often depends on whether there is a championship or not.

Carrick's record in charge of the same period is not as good as that of Mourinho last season, but Manchester United have a bigger lead than it did last year!

The lead is large, and there is room for operation.

Entering 2021, Carrick has instilled a new offensive concept in the team in training.

The new technique and tactics are simply the stars holding the moon.

Ye Yifeng is the moon.

Carrick initially hoped that United would revert to the all-out attacking system of the Ferguson era with Ye Yifeng's individual play.

Ye Yifeng is equivalent to Ronaldo back then.

But he found that the team's group of British stars was very self-conscious.

To put it bluntly, I can't tell who is the big and small king.

Or they all think that they are at least a little king.

The results can sometimes be unsatisfactory.

Even if there are only a few games, Manchester United is relatively lucky to win, relying on Ye Yifeng's stunner.

But the problems that have been exposed are easy to worry Carrick.

He also watched from the sidelines last season as Manchester United were completely defeated by Bayern Munich.

Therefore, on the basis of the team's all-round offensive pressing, he needs the team to play more targeted.

Specific tactical planning is not complicated.

With Ye Yifeng as the core of the attack, try to send the ball to his feet as much as possible.

Here's the problem.

Ye Yifeng must be the target of the opponent's key marking, and giving him the ball is not the right one?

Therefore, you need to have a teammate from the side to answer it.

At least two points nearby.

A point in the distance.

After cooperating with Ye Yifeng in a small area or transferring the offensive, it is still necessary to look at the position of Ye Yifeng after running to carry out the next offensive.

Although Manchester United is not world-class, its technical and tactical literacy is still excellent.

It makes no sense for Carrick to drill tactics to fight weak brigades.

Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?

Fei made so much effort, but took a detour.

But the upcoming England derby is a good litmus test.

If the skills and tactics of a strong team do not play against a strong team, they will not have much effect.

Hard power foundation, even if it is a cross when abusing vegetables, it can be powerful, as long as there are suitable players.

Therefore, the effect can only be seen if the strong team is played and the tactical drill is carried out.

Even if they get away with it and play badly, Manchester United will at least have a clear lead in the standings.

It's just that if the derby is lost, it will hurt morale and bring more pressure on public opinion.

Carrick wants his team to be better able to cope with the unpredictable difficulties in the second half of the league and the Champions League.

He thought it was necessary to give it a try.

Or it doesn't take too many high-sounding reasons.

He wants to inject his style and colour into United.

Manchester United head to Anfield to take on Liverpool with fine-tuned new tactics.

On January 16, the English derby was played at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.

This is not the case, and since returning to the Premier League title contenders, Liverpool have had a rough season.

It seems that Jurgen Klopp's management of this team has also reached a bottleneck.

The forward trident is starting to show signs of fatigue and has not been able to take a step forward, and the ripple effect of the season reimbursement of world first-back Van Dijk has been that the team's defence is almost unavailable when the injury wave hits.

A midfielder is needed to play as a defender.

Ye Yifeng was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

Without the Red Army guard line where Shiyiwei sits, then he will not have to fight a set of flying dragons in the sky!

Look at Liverpool's starting XI and then look at Liverpool's bench.

It's true that injuries are more serious.

There are now nine substitutes available in the Premier League.

Since January this year, the Premier League has reverted to five substitutions, adding two "concussion" substitutions.

Roughly speaking, if a player has a head injury or a suspected concussion, there can be two substitutions.

Very user-friendly.

Protecting the health of the players is the number one priority.

Four of Liverpool's nine substitutes are numbered over 45.

It is conceivable what role to make up.

"Good evening friends and welcome to the Premier League halfway final English derby, the Reds Liverpool host the Red Devils Manchester United!

The Premier League title race has changed dramatically this month.

Liverpool's recent run of three games without a win has left them 11 points behind Manchester United.

This gap has not been seen in the past two seasons.

You could argue that Liverpool are being dragged down by injuries, but the recent slump in the striker trident is also inescapable of falling into a goal drought.

Jamie, what do you think of Liverpool's recent back-to-back dropping points? ”

Carragher was on pins and needles in the studio, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Gary Neville and Ferdinand were very nervous.

Manchester United lead Liverpool by 11 points?

It's almost a dream back in time for them to the Ferguson era.

Carragher put it bluntly: "There's no denying that Manchester United are doing well, but Liverpool are the best team at home this season and are unbeaten so far.

It may not be easy for Manchester United to take the three points away from home.

And I think Manchester United have been outstanding this season thanks to the excellent performance of some players, such as Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, including Jesse Lingard's overall performance after taking over from Fernandes. ”

He didn't mention the striker, and Gary Neville and Ferdinand also knew Carragher didn't want to blow the top spot for their sworn foe.

Understandable.

It doesn't break either.

'Liverpool fielded a 433 formation at home today.

Interestingly, Jurgen Klopp made two midfielders in cameo roles at centre-back.

We take a look at Liverpool's starting line-up.

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Henderson, Robertson.

Midfielders: Shaqiri, Thiago, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Fabinho has the ability to play at the back and Henderson will be dangerous today.

Manchester United's starting XI was also 433.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

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

Midfielders: Fred, Pogba, McTominay.

Forwards: Marcus Rashford, Yifeng Yifeng, Anthony Martial.

Manchester United's injured players have basically returned this round, but James seems to be unwell and needs to be suspended, which has little impact on the team.

Let's predict the outcome of this game.

Leo. ”

Rio Ferdinand said unceremoniously: "3:1, Manchester United wins." ”

Carragher said with a calm face: "1:1. ”

Gary Neville casually said: "4:0. Manchester United wins. ”

Carragher almost scolded: "Bilian!

Do you really think Liverpool is at the mercy of others?

In case Liverpool beat Manchester United at home today, look where your face goes!

In fact, in the top three of the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester United are not rich in defense.

If the eldest brother is not there, the defensive strength will drop significantly.

It's hard to imagine that Manchester United would have been able to defend without Harry Maguire, a defence that would have to be protected by a little more work at the back.

It's the same with Liverpool, and now they're miserable, with the centre-backs out injured.

The most extravagant is Manchester City.

400 million in vain.

This season has added Dias, which can almost be said to be 500 million.

With a whistle blowing.

The England derby is officially underway.

Countless fans of the Red Devils and Reds waited in front of their televisions to watch the Premier League pinnacle clash of the Premier League.

Reds fans are also expecting a surprise home win over Manchester United.

They think that the core point is actually based on two points.

Can the Reds Trident score.

Will Manchester United's big devil be frozen.

That's all.

When the game started, Liverpool took the initiative to control the ball, and Manchester United did not press and counter-attack for the sake of prudence.

But kicking and kicking doesn't feel right.

Thiago, the heart of midfield, frequently returns passes.

There is Henderson on the back line, and according to the role, he can be a ball-playing defender, and there is nothing to say about the strength of the ball.

Liverpool pressed the tempo and passed the ball more.

It's like I'm going to walk my dog, but it's not quite like that.

Did Thiago bring Spain's passing control to Anfield?

Or will Liverpool not dare to speed up the tempo and go head-to-head with Manchester United?

Ye Yifeng was a little anxious!

Expect Liverpool to come over quickly and not waste time.

Liverpool's strength in recent years is not in the midfield, but in the two wing-backs.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson were still on the pitch and the offensive playmaking was unaffected.

But perhaps it was the sluggish performance of the forward trident that made Liverpool's attacking aggression a little less aggressive.

In the 9th minute of the game, Alexander-Arnold hit the front on the right side, and Liverpool's offensive accelerated.

Thiago split the ball in the middle, and Alexander-Arnold sent a diagonal long diagonal pass from the right side of the field.

Mane was defeated in a scramble with Harry Maguire.

Liverpool's forward line launched a counter-attack on the spot, but the midfield retreated quickly.

They all know what the defensive line is like, so they must actively support the defense.

United started to push forward from a steady pass from the back.

Ye Yifeng came to the left side first, and when he overlapped with Martial's position, Martial ran inside but did not directly hit the left rib of the penalty area.

Ye Yifeng received Luke Shaw's pass, but the ball changed direction and retreated to dodge the inside block from Thiago.

Pogba rushed up to respond, Ye Yifeng dribbled to the middle, and when Wijnaldum arrived, Thiago also returned to the middle.

Ye Yifeng knocked the ball back with his heel, and after the ball was released, he changed forward and cut into the middle of the penalty area.

Pogba picked up the ball from the left in front of the box and crossed diagonally to Anthony Martial on the edge of the box, who took the ball to the bottom line to play the edge of the attack and then crossed the cross.

But the ball was a little too close to goalkeeper Alisson.

When Ye Yifeng came out between Fabinho and Henderson to grab a shot in front of goal, Alisson was already less than a metre in front of him.

He could only shoot on target, and any stopping action could result in Alisson making a save and blocking the ground.

Ye Yifeng deliberately controlled his footwork and shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

The idea is good.

But the angle is still too small.

Alisson hit the ball in his left shoulder when he intercepted it head-on.

The soccer ball bounces across the parabola and flies off the baseline.

Ye Yifeng exhaled a long breath and turned his head to nod at Martial.

Carrick clapped his hands on the sidelines and praised the team's performance.

The tactics of the stars holding the moon have begun to bear fruit.

Just hit it like that!

Be sure to play a new Manchester United style!

Let me be a handsome man!
