1097 Old and Demonic, Hit Slow Knock!
The Red Devils have become accustomed to playing against the wind and pressure, and they seem to be more likely to become passive in the game than other big clubs.
The one who wins the midfielder wins the world.
The changes brought about by the Reds' midfield signings don't seem to be obvious.
Liverpool's formidable wide attacks have repeatedly tested United's defensive line, but after years of fighting, the mentality of the Manchester United defence has also become very resistant.
If you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, but you don't necessarily panic and make mistakes.
Salah and Sadio Mane made waves after cutting inside in succession.
Lewandowski scored on his debut and had a fairytale start that would put a noticeable pressure on the Reds' other forwards.
They are eager to prove that they are the Reds' striker, not a new superstriker.
Manchester United's compression of space has been effective.
Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire also blocked shots in quick succession.
Manchester United's quick counter-attack was blocked by Liverpool when it reached the front.
It seems that Liverpool has also learned the art of sniper warfare.
Doing everything they can to contain United's fast break is the foundation of their ability to keep Manchester United at bay.
But after 15 minutes, United's midfield was up to speed, with Tielemans being more pragmatic than Pogba and not sticking to the ball, and being the type to do things without being fancy.
When B Fei and the retreating Ye Yifeng expanded their running range, a wonderful chemistry occurred between them.
The combination of consecutive kicks to the ball is dazzling in a small area.
Liverpool failed to steal the ball after successive counter-attack blockades.
B Fei suddenly turned and stepped forward, Ye Yifeng sent a diagonal pass close to the ground, Manchester United broke through Liverpool's blockade, and then organized a fast attack forward.
Mason Greenwood was the fastest down the left and when he dribbled inside to meet a chasing Keita, he decisively turned the ball diagonally back.
Fernandes then crossed the ball diagonally to the right to find Sancho.
Sancho went straight inside to get rid of Robertson's pursuit, and then faced Matip at the edge of the penalty area and forced a change to the outside line to kill the baseline.
Van Dijk kept his eyes on Ye Yifeng in the middle.
When Sancho came to the bottom line and then reversed the ball back to the triangle, he was really looking for Ye Yifeng!
Van Dijk immediately stepped forward to block Ye Yifeng's frontal angle.
Let him break through or shoot at the angle that is blocked.
Ye Yifeng met the ball and knocked the ball behind him, CHOP changed direction to the left side to find a bigger angle to shoot, and Van Dijk followed closely and continued to block the front.
Ye Yifeng didn't try to break through again, and Keita was about to retreat to help defend in place.
He lightly crossed the ball diagonally into the left flank of the penalty area.
Greenwood cut inside and took the ball and shot with his feet!
The angle was too small, but his shot was powerful and heavy.
The ball was blocked by goalkeeper Alisson.
The Red Devils tactical corner kick was taken, and after passing from the perimeter, Ye Yifeng retreated to the line of the penalty area to receive Luke Shaw's diagonal pass on the ground, and turned to the right rib of the penalty area.
Van Dijk continued to chase to his flank and block his shot angle.
Ye Yifeng only felt that the other party's ghost was still lingering, even if he shot with his feet, the opponent still didn't move.
Ye Yifeng faked a real pass and reversed the triangle to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
The Reds stopped and looked back at the players who were pouring at him.
Manchester United's threat points are basically closely targeted.
But Ye Yifeng's pass still caught them off guard.
Tielemans!
Rush up to meet the ball and directly hit the goal!
The soccer ball flew straight into the corner of the goal!
Alisson made a save to the limit and couldn't get back.
Red Devils fans were pleasantly surprised.
Then there was a wild cheer!
Tielemans rushed to celebrate, making his official debut, and he also scored!
It's not exactly what Carrick expects him to do, but it's certainly a plus.
Taking over the number 6 shirt left by Pogba, Tielemans will not target Pogba.
Van Dijk was a little helpless in the face of conceding a goal, and Klopp was even more helpless.
The summer plan was to strengthen the midfield, but Tielemans was given the lead by Manchester United.
This is also the person he has his eye on.
It is too difficult to poach Ndidi of Fox City, on the one hand, Fox City can no longer let people go, on the other hand, Ndidi's style is too single, and his defensive ability is straight after Kante, but his organizational ability is a hard injury, which is a little bit less interesting for his system.
The core was that the Red Army ran out of money.
Manchester United are getting better and better, and they are starting to compete with Liverpool's midfield.
This led to the fact that the protagonists of the game began to become wingers for both teams.
The tug-of-war in midfield made room for the wingers to cut inside.
Both sides are taking advantage of the gaps in their opponents' ribs.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Lewandowski acted as a fulcrum in the front of the penalty area to make the ball for Salah, who cut inside and accelerated the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.
However, Salah did not pass the ball, but finally suddenly dialed the ball and cut his foot to shoot.
The fight was slightly hasty, but the crosshairs were not bad.
De Gea moves a step and blocks the ball.
Turning around, Manchester United's midfielder overorganized and split the ball on the right side, Sancho dribbled inside to attract the defense and then sent the ball to Ye Yifeng's feet.
Ye Yifeng still didn't choose to come hard when facing Van Dijk.
Pulling the ball and turning to dodge the rush from Keita, if it had been forward, it would have given Van Dijk the perfect opportunity to get up.
After retreating and turning, he combined with B Fei to hit the wall in a short distance, he ran to the left in front of the penalty area, and touched the ball to send a cross over the top.
When Van Dijk turned back to defend, he reminded his teammates to follow Ye Yifeng!
Greenwood cut inside to stop the ball and then took a step towards the direction of the baseline, narrowing his angle and then getting up to shoot the ball off the line with his feet blocked by Alisson.
The Red Devils fans nodded and applauded.
In the past, Manchester United played strong teams to win more and draw less, but they were generally very passive on the field.
But today it looks like he's not weaker than his opponent on the field.
The reinforcements are still effective.
Tielemans was noticeably more aggressive in midfield than Pogba, putting pressure on opponents while not dragging his feet in transitions.
The priorities are clear, and he will not snatch the organizational power of B Fei.
To put it bluntly, it is to do a good job of the role of a tool man in a down-to-earth manner, without trying to make yourself the protagonist.
Ye Yifeng looked at the Reds defence, and Van Dijk's main defensive task was to contain his threat in the penalty area.
The ghost is not gone!
Ye Yifeng immediately changed his thinking.
In the 26th minute of the game, Lewandowski received a cross from Arnold in the middle of the penalty area, and his head attack was saved by De Gea!
The threat of the Polish Divine Edge is still clear at a glance.
Very strong indeed.
If this threat is quantified, Lewandowski will be in place faster than Firmino in many opportunities for the ball, and the probability of competing for it is also higher, and the threat created will naturally be greater.
Three minutes later, Sancho dribbled forward on the right and when Robertson was back in place, Sancho played the ball down the middle.
Ye Yifeng passed the ball back with his heel next to Thiago to find B Fei, and after the ball was released, he ran diagonally to the middle area in front of the penalty area.
B Fei came up and sent a short pass with a kick.
The football rolled to Ye Yifeng's running line.
Comfortable!
Ye Yifeng didn't wait for Van Dijk to shoot directly from close range at the top of the arc of the penalty area!
The left-footed soccer ball flew straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Van Dijk was startled and turned to look, only to see Alisson make a world-class save to keep the ball out in front of the goal line.
When Mason Greenwood sprinted to make a stoppage, Alexander-Arnold scrambled to break the ball off the line.
Call.
The Reds fans burst into applause.
Van Dijk noticed that Ye Yifeng seemed to be changing his style, but he couldn't confirm it yet.
Until the 33rd minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng received a pass from Greenwood and passed the ball back again, Tielemans came up to receive the ball on the right side.
When Sancho dribbled inward from the right side, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to come to the right side of the penalty area to respond, met the ball and directly shot with the instep of his right foot, blasting out a strange arc ball that almost shook Alisson!
Alisson's center of gravity first tilted towards the right post, but immediately after seeing the trajectory of the ball, he ran in the opposite direction!
When he lifted the ball above the crossbar with one palm on the jump, Alisson's whole expression was a little wrong!
If you hadn't kept calm just now, you would have been shown off by Ye Yifeng!
Exaggerated arcs, weird lines.
The superb archery skills are rare in the world!
The key is not that he can hit a curling ball, but that he can hit it with both feet!
And with the instep, the outside instep, and the inside instep, you can shoot in different styles!
If you don't see it with your own eyes to be sure, rash rescue is likely to become a background emperor!
Compared to Alisson's palpitations, Van Dijk is actually under more pressure.
Over the years, Van Dijk has developed a defensive habit of blocking lines, and he has often been seen retreating step by step in the face of opponents' sudden attacks, and the most critical thing is to intercept, and the success rate is good.
Ye Yifeng threatened with a long-range shot before he got close, making him a big moving stake to block the angle at best.
But there are obvious flaws in this.
Because of the line and angle of its own sealing, most of it is frontal.
Ye Yifeng is obviously not like an ordinary shooter who closes his eyes and shoots the ball into the goal range casually.
Instead, it pursues the ultimate angle to play the world wave!
Therefore, the frontal angle of Van Dijk is of little significance.
Ye Yifeng is gradually getting better, from the warm-up game to the semi-warm-up nature of the community shield, his own rhythm is very good, and he will not be overly excited before the official start of the season.
As a veteran over 30 years old, he knows how to control the pace of adjustment better in this regard than when he was younger.
In the 36th minute of the game, Liverpool attacked quickly, Lewandowski received Thiago's through ball and chose to do it, and then he ran to the right rib of the penalty area, and he created space for Mane to cut.
Mane cut inside and faced Maguire in the middle of the game, and smashed the ball directly to break through the outside.
Then he didn't choose to cross, but forced his own foot to shoot.
De Gea was solid enough to block the ball in the near corner.
Klopp shook his head slightly on the sidelines.
It is expected that the front trident will fight openly and secretly, but if the bottom line of unity and cooperation is destroyed, then he will have to stand up and knock and beat.
Sometimes you also need to let the players try on their own, it's really awesome to solve the battle by themselves, then no one has anything to say, but if you can't solve it yourself, then honestly play team football to the extreme!
