Chapter 0520, The Great Explosion

The referee's whistle blew and the first half was over.

2-0, it was the score of the first half.

Liverpool lead by two goals.

Although the game was suspended, the applause and cheers at Anfield Stadium did not stop.

Liverpool fans cheered excitedly, enjoying the joy of leading the score.

Manchester United fans were also listless and quite unhappy with the scoreline.

They have gone all the way this season, winning the league so far.

actually planted a head in front of Liverpool.

It's hard for them to accept.

In the dressing room, Mourinho looked at the frustrated players, but he did not reprimand them.

Instead, he pulled a chair and sat down and talked about it.

'We had some trouble in the first half and conceded two goals which was terrible.

"But it's not hopeless.

'Because I've seen Liverpool's problems.

"They are looking forward to the show more than we are.

'I don't know if any of you noticed Salah, he looked at me with contempt after he scored.

'You know what I did with him at Chelsea and I don't want to talk about it.

'What Coutinho wants to do, you know, he expects goals more than anybody.

"If there's a possibility, Liverpool loses and he can score a hat-trick,

"I'm sure he'll be open to it.

"So Liverpool today, too, have a big problem.

"Also, they pressed all over the first half and there will be a problem with fitness in the second half!

"You know, most of their players played last weekend's international game and flew long distances!

"As long as we carry it for 60 minutes, it's our turn to perform!

"But until then, we can't concede any more goals!

"Lads, hold your breath and come on!

"We're going to take the three points here!

"We want everybody to understand,

"At Manchester United, there's no fucking goal drought!"

Mourinho's voice grew louder and louder, and the last few words were deafening!

Manchester United's players are also on fire!

In the second half, go up and them!

After a 15-minute break, the two sides returned to the field to fight again.

None of them made any substitutions this time.

On Manchester United's side, Jose Mourinho compares Manchester United to the starting line-up.

Even if you concede two goals, it can't be considered a mistake, it's just that the opponent's play is too good.

As for Liverpool, the fitness of their players is indeed a big problem.

So it will take some time for the players to adjust.

In the second half, Liverpool still adhered to the tactics of pressing all over the field.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are still holding on and looking for a quick attack.

However, none of these fast attacks were able to form a goal under the pressure of the Liverpudlians.

It looks like United's goal drought is still ongoing......

In the 63rd minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions.

Wijnaldum and Sadio Mane were substituted, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sturridge coming off the bench.

Seeing this substitution, Mourinho's eyes lit up!

Here's your chance!

He looked in the direction of the court, at Xia Xing in the center of the court.

At this time, Xia Xing also looked at him.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison!

Onslaught, begin!

Among Liverpool's forward trident, Mourinho is most feared by Mane.

Compared to Salah's independence, Mane is more selfless.

Firmino is down-to-earth and down-to-earth, and so is Mane, but Mane has a lot more aura.

And he's just as fast, dribbles well and shoots accurately.

In this Liverpool team, Mourinho prefers Mane.

Mourinho even fantasized that if he were Klopp, he would definitely pick up Mane and make him the absolute attacking core of the team.

So Mane is off, and Mourinho is suddenly in a much better mood!

Sure enough, the next Liverpool attack ended with Salah beating two people in a row.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho told his players.

In the face of Salah, if you can get on the body, you can go to the body, and his physical fitness is average.

If you let him pass, push him to the bottom line and the sideline.

Anyway, he didn't like to pass the ball so much, and when the time came, Liverpool's attacking opportunities would be gone.

Sure enough, both chances were because Salah was too lonely, so he conceded the goal.

Mourinho shrugged on the sidelines: "If it was Ronaldo or Messi in that position just now, I'm afraid we would have conceded the ball again." ”

The successive attacks were unsuccessful and there were few passes, which made Sturridge, who came off the bench, not play too well.

And Liverpool is alone in this game, and Salah is alone.

The same goes for Coutinho.

A number of chances in midfield ended with his shot.

Maybe that's what he thinks in his heart – the team's win is far less important than his individual performance.

The clock ticked and the game was 70 minutes in.

United have just made a change in position, with veteran captain Wayne Rooney coming off and Jesse Lingard coming off the bench.

The subject's armband was put back on Xia Xing's arm.

It seemed to be a marker point, and from this moment on, Manchester United's attack suddenly took off!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Xia Xing suddenly made a long pass in the backfield!

Liverpool's front court is tight and empty for a while!

Lingard, who had just come on the pitch, pulled up front and attracted the defence!

The ball was safely held by Rashford, who cut forward!

Sprint with the ball!

Score a goal!

Volley into the near corner!

The ball goes into the net!

2 to 1!

Manchester United pull a goal back!

And this is just the beginning of Manchester United's counterattack!

In the 76th minute of the game, Lingard stepped forward with the ball and was brought down by substitute Oxlade-Chamberlain.

United were given a set-piece up front.

Xia Xing stood in front of the ball, looked at the defense line of the penalty area, and made a special gesture.

Slowly step back and cross with your feet!

The ball goes straight to the centre of the box!

The cover of multiple players, even Smalling rushed to the front point!

However, Xia Xing's pass didn't look for them!

Instead, fly to the center of the exclusion zone!

Lukaku leaps high and heads back!

The ball quickly changed direction over his head and into the far corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Karius didn't have time to react at all!

The ball goes into the net!

2 to 2!

Manchester United equalis!

It was a crucial goal!

An important equaliser was scored in the face of a decline in the overall fitness of the Liverpool players!

Xia Xing's pass is milliseconds!

Manchester United's two strikers ushered in a big explosion!

One goal each!

And that's not all!

In the 81st minute of the game, Manchester United created a good chance again!

This time it's still Xia Xing's performance!

On the left flank, he cut off Salah, who was rushing forward!

Mohamed Salah has lost fitness but still wants to score goals with his own dribbling!

As a result, it was directly cut off by Xia Xing!

After breaking the ball, Xia Xing did not hesitate and sprinted directly with the ball!

The counterattack begins!

A number of Manchester United's attacking players accelerate their sprint!

The counterattack is surging like a tidal wave!

Henderson grabs!

Xia Xing changed direction dexterously and accelerated over!

Now Xia Xing's speed and physical strength remain the same, which makes the Liverpool defenders powerless!

Rush into the box and shoot low into the far corner!

Roll the ball into the net!

3 to 2!

Manchester United overtook the scoreline!
