Manchester United's players used their last moments in the dressing room to boost morale, except for two.

Xia Xing and Rooney.

At this time, they were warming up on the court, chatting about the offensive tactics of the second half.

"Xia, we were in big trouble in the first half."

'Yes, I couldn't defend a lot of Liverpool's sharp attacks, so that's my responsibility.

"No, no, no, it's not your problem, you've done a good job of defending and organizing the offense."

"You came up in the second half, and that's great."

"What did you think about the second half?"

"We have to attack, press bolder and press bolder."

'That's right, and it's okay to take a big risk, because we need to score.'

'It's good that Liverpool aren't the kind of team to take the lead and stick to it, so that's good for us.

"Xia, I guess they will start the second half and try to score another one and completely convince us."

"Just like I thought, Captain!"

"So I suggest that at the beginning of the second half, we attack boldly, and when the opponent grabs the opening, we also grab the opening to see who can steal whom!"

'In that case, Matic will have a lot of pressure on the defence.'

"It's okay! In order to score a goal, you have to risk losing a goal! ”

"Good!"

'So at the beginning of the second half, you defend with Nemanja Matic, try to break the ball quickly and then play on the counter-attack. I'll pick up up up front and organise the attack. ”

"I'll step forward as soon as I can to help you."

"Just play!"

"No problem!"

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and the players ran onto the pitch to prepare for a more intense second half.

Manchester United, in particular, have been boosted by Jose Mourinho's morale, as you can tell from the stride they are putting on the pitch.

And when they saw Xia Xing and Rooney in the center of the court, their eyes lit up and they knew the bottom of their hearts.

Carrick, who walked out of the tunnel with Mourinho and Perran, looked into the middle of the pitch and smiled.

It's stable, it's definitely stable.

Don't forget, the two captains on the field are both superstars who have won the Champions League!

With his team-mates on the pitch, Rooney gathered everyone around and simply laid out the tactical play for the second half.

This was all just discussed with Xia Xing.

Each player nodded in agreement.

Now Manchester United is making a lonely bet and everyone is united.

However, the Liverpudlians are not resting.

Just in the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp has issued an important order to the team.

At the beginning of the second half, go all out to get started!

As long as one more goal is scored, then the game is completely secure!

Full force, onslaught!

Jurgen Klopp is not Mourinho, he will definitely not hold on to the lead until the end.

He is a swordsman with an adventurous spirit.

Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, is a statesman of military strategies.

So, in the second half, Mourinho had already expected the situation between the two sides.

Rooney's conversation with Xia Xing just now is also related to Mourinho's reminder.

It was Jose Mourinho who told him that Jurgen Klopp would most likely open the scoring in the second half.

So now, don't use the hidden dragons of Manchester United!

They defend with all their might, waiting for their time!

United opened the game with a pass in midfield and waited for their moment.

However, Liverpool's midfield pressed quite aggressively and took the lead in cutting off Rashford's ball!

Manchester United have conceded a goal!

Rooney waved his hand and quickly returned to the defense!

Manchester United defend with all their might!

Especially Xia Xing and Nemanja Matic, the two defended very quickly.

Salah received the ball and he felt the pressure directly.

At the end of the first half, Xia Xing also did some self-reflection.

He was still too gentle with the Liverpool players.

Especially in this game, the referee obviously has a lighter whistle, and he can defend more strongly!

So this time Salah received the ball, and Xia Xing directly squeezed people out!

Just now, let Liverpool's attack be cut in half!

If it weren't for Wijnaldum's quick pass, they would have been counter-attacked by Manchester United at the beginning.

However, the pass did not give the team too good an attacking opportunity.

Firmino dropped back to receive the ball, and this time he was cut off by Nemanja Matic.

Liverpool's attack was interrupted.

But they're not over.

This time the ball came from the left.

Robinson dribbled the ball forward quickly and passed a big foot to the right wing!

Find Arnold!

These two full-backs are recognised as one of the best combinations in the Premier League this season!

Alexander-Arnold catches the ball, nudges forward and hands it to Salah!

Then a quick sprint!

Salah has a myriad of options at this point.

For example, wait for a moment and then pass the ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold in front, or go straight to Henderson in the middle, or find Mane at the far end.

But Salah didn't do that, he still chose to go it alone!

In the face of Xia Xing, he once again sought a breakthrough!

Maybe he made the right choice.

After all, the team has a three-goal lead, and the striker has no problem playing by himself, and it is okay to be alone.

And Salah was originally more independent.

But this time, he made the wrong choice.

Facing Xia Xing, facing Xia Xing, who has already decided to go to the body, Salah has no chance at all.

The two consecutive feints did not make Xia Xing's center of gravity move at all.

Eventually he forcibly accelerated along the side!

But the summer action is faster!

A dash knocked Salah out of the sideline!

Fall on a billboard!

The referee didn't blow the whistle!

Reasonable collision!

Salah's trip just now made the two of them control the ball five or five, so Xia Xing's defensive actions are no problem!

It was at this moment that Liverpool captain Henderson had already smelled danger!

He quickly put down the shovel to stop Xia Xing's further actions!

But Xia Xing is also prepared!

He struck the ball across the middle!

Nemanja Matic, who was still in a defensive position just now, kept up with the short pass!

This non-stop short pass pushes the ball to the left again!

Xia Xing dodged Henderson's shovel and sprinted quickly!

Got the ball!

A wonderful midfielder one-two!

Manchester United's chance has come!

Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold, who had just assisted the front, quickly returned to the defense!

But even if he is full of speed, he can't keep up with Xia Xing's pace!

Xia Xing's speed is already at full speed!

There was no full-back in front of him, and the opponent was defending, and it was empty!

Straight to the bottom line!

Van Dijk in the middle of the penalty area did not dare to help easily, after all, he was still tasked with keeping an eye on Ibrahimovic.

Players such as Henderson and Milner are not speedy, and they have lost their ability to chase Xia Xing.

At this time, Xia Xing fought all the way to the bottom line!

Ibrahimovic is already in place, overpowering Van Dijk, waiting for a fatal blow!

Sanchez at the far end is also ready!

Even the right wing-back Valencia came up with a desperate assist!

Multiple points of attack, so that Liverpool is passive!

However, Xia Xing didn't pass the ball to them!

On the baseline, he made a precise pass and accurately found Rooney in front of the penalty area!

At the top of the arc of the penalty area, Rooney is unmarked!

Facing the incoming ball, stop the ball on your chest!

Lean back and shoot with your feet!

The ball goes straight into the net!

1 to 3!

Manchester United pulled a goal back at the start of the second half!

Captain of the Red Devils!

Brilliant shot!
