874 The Red Army's double-edged sword, the Red Devils are dazzling!

Ye Yifeng and Liverpool have played each other for the fourth season in a row.

Since defeating Karius in the knockout rounds of the Champions League in the first half of 2018, he has faced the weakest Liverpool defence this time around.

Henderson and Fabinho probably expected to be manipulated by Ye Yifeng's crazy output.

If the form is not good, or the teammate can't keep up with the rhythm of the fill-in, then he will inevitably be abused and autistic, and he will never want to play at center back again.

But Ye Yifeng played a very delicate team with his Manchester United teammates today.

Carrick's star-studded moon tactics were not difficult to execute.

Psychologically, no one dared to say no.

Ye Yifeng, who has been on fire in the Premier League for three years, is qualified to be the core anywhere.

Even they don't doubt that if Ye Yifeng goes to Manchester City or Liverpool, Guardiola and Klopp will personally design matching tactics for him, and he is the absolute core.

His on-court performance actually makes it easy for coaches to think.

As long as he can play 100% of his strength, then the attacking threat can be full, whether he can win or not depends entirely on the attack, but at least when he can't win, the problem will not be on the offensive end.

That's how Carrick thinks about it.

In fact, Mourinho had planned to do this before, but because he was more focused on anti-reversal, there was no need to do unnecessary operations.

Ye Yifeng was already on the front line of the counterattack, and the team that played the counterattack was not a scene of galloping horses, there were only a few people who came and went, and Ye Yifeng's role would not be small.

But now United are more of an advocate of active pressing, and even the big teams are going to do it, at least not like the bus in the past, where the whole team huddled within 40 yards in front of goal and started waiting for the track team to play.

Therefore, it is necessary to restructure the relationship between the main and secondary sides of the offensive end and the hierarchical system.

The reason why Liverpool presses the rhythm and passes more is because they don't want to give Manchester United more attacking opportunities.

Manchester United began to intensify their counter-attacks and sweeps after getting better at Anfield, forcing Liverpool to speed up their attacks.

It will be a bit risky, but at least they will try to fight Liverpool for dominance of the game.

In an attack-oriented strategy, dominance of the game is important, and even if the score is behind, as long as the dominance is in your own hands, then there is still hope for everything.

For example, Bielsa's all-attack and all-defense tactics are not afraid of conceding goals, as long as the rhythm suppresses the opponent, the goal time is measured in seconds.

This is the opposite of a defensive counter-attack, where the team can not dominate, do not want to play, or even have too many offensive opportunities.

But the bottom line is not to concede the ball first.

Once you concede the ball first, it's very difficult to get it back.

Because they don't have the dominance of the game.

In the 19th minute of the game, Manchester United forced Liverpool to launch a fast attack.

Robertson combined with Sadio Mane on the left to break through Aaron Wan-Bissaka's defence, and Robertson stepped into the box and crossed the ball back to the top of the box from a position close to the baseline.

Roberto Firmino pinned down the middle and Salah cut in from behind.

He was about to get up and shoot but saw Maguire, so he changed his mind and took another step towards the left ribs, shook off the angle of the shot and shot again.

De Gea blocked the near corner and kept the ball out of the line.

It wasn't a particularly good save, so it was a good choice, Salah himself narrowed the angle and couldn't shoot the ball into the far corner.

Klopp's face on the sidelines sank like water.

When will this trident return to its peak condition?!

Liverpool are winless in the last three rounds, and the defence has not conceded too many goals, conceding only one goal in consecutive games.

To put it mildly, the offense is more of a problem.

The system is no problem, and the style of play is still the same as the old three.

Advance alone, cooperate with the front, and plan on the side.

The problem is the state of the trident.

State?

Klopp turned his attention to Ye Yifeng on the field again.

That guy never seemed to have a problem with his form.

It's not news that superstars are in strong form and have strong staying power.

Mero will be a player top form has been redefined in years!

And Ye Yifeng's long-lasting state is related to entering the peak of his competitive career, but it is not without fluctuations.

But he has a plug-in.

As long as the old wall is opened, as long as it is not too bad, the state can be improved.

It's his secret recipe, and even if you share it with the world, no one else will learn it.

As for Lin Huang's obsession with drinking tea, he should contribute to China's tea export trade.

Manchester United will struggle to take control of the pitch from Liverpool at Anfield.

Thiago already has the ability to control the field, plus a Henderson who drags on the back line, Liverpool can come however they want.

It's just that Liverpool can't press the rhythm too hard because of their face and the gap of 11 points in the standings.

If you don't create more opportunities for the sluggish forwards, how can you be confident that they can get pregnant with one kick?

Manchester United is no longer on the bus, but it has not given Liverpool a good environment for counter-attacking and fast attack.

In the 28th minute of the game, when Salah dribbled on the right side of the front field and cut inside and tried to cooperate with Firmino against the wall, Manchester United tightened the defense, Lindelof intercepted it head-on, Salah dribbled to accelerate to break through from Maguire's front, the ball passed, and when the person had not passed, Fred retreated to fill the position and cut off the ball.

Salah looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he was one step away from a great chance to shoot from his feet.

Manchester United launched a fast attack.

Ye Yifeng came to the right side of the front court to answer.

Marcus Rashford took possession of the ball first and knocked it diagonally back.

Ye Yifeng dribbled and continued to kill on the right flank, and Robertson retreated to defend Rashford.

Ye Yifeng followed up with an dribble in the back row, and at the same time, Pogba took the initiative to run behind the side and respond at any time.

When Wijnaldum assisted in defending the wing, Ye Yifeng stopped and turned around, but Wijnaldum did not dare to grab it, for fear of losing his defensive position.

Ye Yifeng crosses the ball back to the middle.

Pogba looked back, and McTominay followed up and shifted the attack.

The ball rolled to the feet of Anthony Martial on the left.

Ye Yifeng began to run inside, and Anthony Martial was caught between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago when he dribbled inside from the left, and he scrambled to cross the ball down the middle.

Pogba came up and picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area.

Henderson's positional sense at centre-back is still a bit worse.

It was only as the ball flew over his head that he realized that he had gone wrong with his positioning and reactions.

Ye cut inside with Marcus Rashford to interfere with Robertson, and he chested the ball and volleyed into the far corner.

I thought it was going to be a goal.

Paradoxically, Alisson flew to save and touched the football with his right hand at the first time.

As if it were a bullet-to-bullet effect!

The ball turned backwards and flew out of the baseline on the outside of the left post.

Ye Yifeng stood in place with his hands on his hips, looking at Alisson and sighing in his heart!

This save is really awesome!

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Klopp's face was not very good-looking.

It is the team with a bad defense that makes the goalkeeper stand out more.

It's like Manchester United once upon a time.

The broken defence has a picturesque front court, and David De Gea is famous all over the world at the back.

Manchester United were also unlucky.

When the back line is not working, De Gea almost has the aura of the Hand of God.

When the defensive line came, the big brother Maguire came, the wing strengthened Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Luke Shaw also walked out of the haze of broken legs.

Although the defense line is not the best in Europe, it can handle it.

But De Gea couldn't.

Without his aura, he can be said to be a little mediocre.

After all, he is not even Spain's number one goalkeeper.

Why was Atletico Madrid's defense strong back then?

In addition to the steel defense line, there is also Oblak, who has accelerated all the way to cross the threshold of the god level.

Liverpool couldn't defend Manchester United's forward line today, and the pressure was naturally Alisson.

He is also one of the top five goalkeepers in the world now, and of course he has an obligation to carry this burden.

Liverpool's corners were successfully defended and did not immediately launch a fast attack.

There's something about Thiago's tempo.

After all, he is also the one who has learned the way of dog walking by Guardiola's side.

In the 37th minute of the game, Mane tried to break through on the left side and do something big.

As a result, as soon as the dribble cut into the box, Maguire cut off the ball head-on.

Klopp gritted his teeth and smiled wryly.

The state of this forward line is really pulling the hips.

Perhaps Klopp overlooked an important thing.

The striker, who was already in a slump, is now in a state of "restart" because Liverpool's own team takes the initiative to control the tempo, and every attack can almost be said to be in a state of "restart".

It's hard for them to improve their form with continuity in the pace of the game!

Liverpool are good at pressuring opponents in a fast-paced situation, making opponents make mistakes and crushing opponents.

As a result, they are now fighting the tempo in order to protect the defence from frequent attacks from their opponents, and their approach has become a double-edged sword.

It also weakened Liverpool's attacking threat.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester United's midfielder organized an offensive, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to retreat to respond, and after receiving Fred's pass, he knocked the ball back to find Pogba, who then advanced with McTowinay's pass.

Ye Yifeng ran forward along the middle lane, but suddenly shifted to the left side.

Pogba made a long pass to the left flank and approached the baseline.

The direction is the direction in which Ye Yifeng is running, but the landing point is not where Ye Yifeng is.

Alexander-Arnold was defeated in a scramble with Anthony Martial, who scrambled into position and headed the ball back after a jump.

Ye Yifeng chested the ball less than 10 yards behind the side.

Thiago rushed to press, and Ye Yifeng stepped on the bike on the spot and changed direction to knock the ball back with his heel.

McTominay followed up and Thiago was already distanced by the time he turned to meet the defender.

McTominay's through ball was controlled by Ye Yifeng in front of the penalty line, and at this time, Fabinho and Henderson closed the ball to press Ye Yifeng, who knocked the ball to the right like a dragonfly.

Immediately after the ball is released, it is cut forward.

As he raced past Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, Marcus Rashford also scrambled to deliver a through ball before Wijnaldum could block it.

Alisson made a decisive attack, and Ye Yifeng stopped and slowed down the speed of the left and right feet to step on the bicycle in turn.

When Alisson lowered his center of gravity and was about to save, Ye Yifeng suddenly dialed the ball and shook the angle to the right.

Alisson was swayed by Ye Yifeng's fake shaking, and when he reacted and moved to block, he was already slow.

Ye Yifeng's push was played, and when Alisson made a late save, the ball rolled past his left hand first.

Alisson closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in reluctance.

The ball rolls into the goal!

Ye Yifeng smiled and waved to his teammates as he turned around and ran to the sidelines.

This goal, Manchester United's team cooperation is extremely exciting!
