Chinese Figo himself didn't expect his kick to score, and he hugged his teammates one by one and celebrated his goal.

When he left Madrid a year ago, many thought he was at the end of his rope. I can't play in the Galaxy Battleship, so I can only play in other teams. When you get old, how can you survive on the side without speed? Many people are not optimistic, and because he chose the Premier League, it makes people feel that he will not play well. But he proved that this was not the case at all. Even if he chooses a place like the Premier League, he can still play well. He has never been famous for his speed, but for his shrewd and capable brain. Playing what kind of football in any league is the foundation of his life.

And this goal, Zhao Yaning was also a little surprised. He just wanted to see if he could get into one by relying on the opponent's defensive imperfection. Who knew that such an attempt would succeed so easily.

It's a very exciting thing to be able to score against Manchester United, no matter what time it is. And the fact that this goal can be scored so easily makes Zhao Yaning feel greatly encouraged.

Unlike the current defensive characteristics of Liverpool, Manchester United's defense does not rely on the coordinated protection between the two central defenders and the midfield, or even the help of the full-backs. Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina, despite his excellent technique and huge role on the goal line, really doesn't have a good range of movement. Therefore, Liverpool's defensive measures have always been two backs and three defenders pressing at the back to ensure that the backfield does not concede the ball.

Manchester United is different. Their goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar, a veteran goalkeeper who is not as good as Liverpool's Reina or Chelsea's Petr Cech, but who has a wide range of movement and experience that makes him special. Coming through the Ajax Academy, he has an inherent technical advantage, and he has adapted to years of tactical changes and has excellent experience in how to play as a scavenger goalkeeper. When he is present, Manchester United has half an extra defender in the penalty area, whether it is passing at the back or filling in the position is much easier, they can implement zone defense at the back, and rely on the excellent ability of their defenders to constantly step forward to support the midfield. This kind of ability is difficult for any other team to play. After all, the scavenger goalkeeper is too difficult to find, and Barcelona would rather endure Valdés' low-level mistakes from time to time than keep him, just because the scavenger goalkeeper is not easy to find. And Manchester United were lucky to find one Van der Sar.

And such a goalkeeper is even more significant in set-piece defense. A goalkeeper with a wide range of control can be very useful in defending set-pieces, and Ferguson is also the best at setting up free-kick attacks.

The attack and defense of set-pieces are different from other offense and defense, and the offense and defense of sports warfare have very high requirements for the personal ability of players, but the attack and defense of set-piece tactics have much lower requirements for the personal ability of players. The attack and defense of set-pieces mainly rely on the team's tactical system, and a good defensive system can make the set-piece defense have a qualitative improvement. It's not seen as a regular tactic, but a lot of times you can score a lot of goals with it, especially in a league like the Premier League, where high balls are important.

In fact, it's also one of the easiest ways to distinguish a manager's tactical ability: look at how well his team attacks and defends from set-pieces – a given, of course, that there are no free-kick masters who are too perverted to score goals with ease.

And Liverpool's goal this time was actually what Zhao Yaning thought of temporarily: not every defender is very suitable for this kind of cooperation with the scavenger goalkeeper. In the last game, Lucio had Ferdinand wiping his ass behind his back, but this game is gone, maybe, this is a breakthrough.

Clearly, he was right.

And that's not all.

Van der Sar's arrival has solved a lot of problems, but in a sense, he has also masked a problem: because United's midfield is not very defensive, they always involuntarily start to retreat when they are under pressure. With their retreat and Lucio's continued support, United managed to hold on to the situation, but after the midfield was disjointed, they had no choice but to attack again.

If you are facing another team, the forward insertion of two wings is a good solution. Neville and Patrice Evra are both flanks with a strong ability to cut forward. But against Liverpool, McCone knows Patrice too well, and Reese is also an old rival with Neville for many years, and it is very difficult to pose a threat to Liverpool when he moves forward at the back.

What Zhao Yaning needs to do now is to rely on his own attacks and continue to put pressure on Manchester United, as long as he can make Manchester United's midfield advantage lost, their disconnect will become more and more serious, and their own opportunities will be more and more. A set-piece goal is not enough, Zhao Yaning wants more.

But until the end of the first half, he didn't do it - Manchester United's counter-attack was fierce, and the defense at the back was good enough, although Liverpool still had the advantage, but they were not able to score again.

But there must be something wrong with them. Zhao Yaning was still thinking about this problem in the midfield, and in the locker room, he also thought about the reason for this problem.

I'm afraid it would be better if we slowed down and pressed less hard. Their biggest hole at the back is the lack of Rio Ferdinand, who is fast and fills in the field, which can be exploited. But the premise is that they press it out, and we can hit the back quickly.

Zhao Yaning quickly figured out this problem, and after the second half, when he got the ball again, he ran two steps along the big penalty area, and when he met Lucio, he gave the ball to Alonso with a kick back, and then immediately ran back himself.

Lucio didn't follow immediately, but Zhao Yaning immediately asked for the ball again, and then gave it to Figo, constantly passing back and forth in the midfield, and the position was also back and forth, constantly teasing Manchester United's backline.

At the back, Fletcher and Ryan Giggs were simply not enough to look at, and Lucio's forward defense was their best tool. And Lucio's excellent physical fitness makes his recovery speed very fast, as long as the gap is not too big, he can catch up.

But what Zhao Yaning is doing now is to disconnect him from the backline, so as to make Manchester United's defense have problems. Ferdinand is not there, and Silvestre, who plays at central back, is not strong, which is also the best flaw that Zhao Yaning can think of.

Finally, after being teased by Zhao Yaning's tentative passes several times in a row, Lucio still pressed out. His speed is indeed very fast, when Zhao Yaning received the ball, in less than a second, he ran to Zhao Yaning's side quickly. Zhao Yaning knew very well that at this time, if he turned around to protect the ball and then passed the ball out, the ball would indeed be lost, but it was enough for Fletcher to plug the loopholes in the midfield and make this attack in vain, so he also decided to take a good gamble.

When Lucio rushed over, Zhao Yaning hooked the ball with his right foot behind his left foot and made a move to kick a flower arrangement. Lucio blocked his front and grabbed the ball at his feet, but Zhao Yaning pulled the ball behind him at this time and pulled the ball behind his left foot again. Then, he stood still with his right foot, and his left heel was pulled back, and the ball was slammed over his head!

At the same time, he slammed into action, brushed past Lucio, and ran forward. Lucio chased after him and grabbed his jersey, but Zhao Yaning still chased the ball to the landing point, Lucio grabbed his clothes and made him unable to move, but he still raised his knee, stopped the ball, and then kicked it straight!

In the box, Morientes ran past Silvestre, followed the ball with his left foot, and then raised his right foot and shot!

“gooooal！！！！ Liverpool 2-0!!!! They took a 2-0 lead over Manchester United in the game! ”

Another goal was scored and Liverpool were already 2-0 up over Manchester United. But at this time, Liverpool's offensive did not pause in the slightest.

When Zhao Yaning got the football again, he launched an attack again. Only this time, instead of starting from the middle, he took the ball to the left wing.

Gary Neville immediately rushed up, but he didn't make an immediate tackle or think about breaking the ball. He knows that when facing an excellent ball handler like Zhao Yaning, reckless actions will make irreparable mistakes, and his rich experience tells him that he can't be careless, and he must cooperate well with his teammates to be able to stop the people in front of him. He gestured to the need for support and hoped that his teammates would come.

He didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of not being able to defend the other party by relying only on his own strength. He was never a genius, and no one saw him as a superstar. But he is the captain of Manchester United because he knows very well what it means to work together, what it means to support each other, how to make 11 people a team.

However, at this time, Zhao Yaning's approach disappointed him. Zhao Yaning watched Lucio rush up and kicked the ball to the right side.

Is it a large-scale transfer again? But this time, it wasn't Figo who received the ball, it was McConn. He kicked the ball to Alonso in the middle, and he rushed towards the bottom line, and Figo had already inserted into the penalty area at this time, Alonso's pass kicked towards McCone on the side, McCone received the ball, Figo and Morientes were already in the penalty area, and at this time, Lucio had not returned to the defense in time, McCone kicked the ball into the penalty area and drove it to Morientes!

Lucio had chased it back, but Morientes didn't have a goal. He made a header and gave the ball back to Gerrard, and after Gerrard received the ball, he didn't shoot, but stuffed the ball into the penalty area, at this time, Zhao Yaning, who had already caught up, kicked the ball to the door!

“gooooal！！！！ Nice shot!! Liverpool's shot after a succession of passes broke through the door of Manchester United for the third time! They took a 3-0 lead! ”

Yes, that's what it looks like. Zhao Yaning said secretly in his heart.

If you're pushed to the back and out of touch, then your offense is nullified. And if you can't attack, our defenders can rush up. Manchester United's attacking style is that each of the three points in the front court has the ability to attack, but Liverpool's style is a large-scale transfer, multi-point passing, and pressing attack. One more person comes out, our oppression will be stronger, one more person will come out, we will be better, and you, you will not be able to defeat us.

This game was a complete defeat for Manchester United. Cat flutter Chinese
