"We all know that Di Maria, Van Persie, Mata and others in Manchester United are all injured and unable to play in this game. And Carrick, who has always played in the midfield, was actually put in the central defender position by the coach. Manchester United really has no one available now."
Coach Zhang continued to analyze Liverpool's lineup
"On the other hand, Liverpool has a luxurious lineup with many stars. Although center forward Sterling is not very famous, everyone has seen his progress this season. His ability to control the ball in front of the goal and his ability to cooperate with teammates are very good. In addition, right winger Coutinho is now the offensive core of Liverpool. His long shots from the front of the right penalty area are very threatening."
"Sitting on the bench for Liverpool is Balotelli, who is affectionately called"Balotelli" by netizens. Although the Italian genius has not been in good form recently, his physical condition is still there, which is also a hidden killer of Liverpool."
"So considering the lineups of both teams, I think Liverpool has a better chance of winning this game than Manchester United."
Xiao Zhan listened to the analysis patiently, then smiled and said,"Coach Zhang, to be honest, I feel much more comfortable after listening to your analysis. Well, now the two teams on the field are ready, and after the referee's whistle, the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will play against the Red Army Liverpool at Old Trafford.……"
……
After Liverpool kicked off, the ball was immediately passed quickly under the feet of their midfielders.
Wilson and Falcao kept trying to cooperate with Chen Huan and Fellaini to intercept the ball in the midfield under the arrangement of the coach's tactics, but their continuous interceptions did not bring much pressure to Liverpool's midfield.
After Gerrard got rid of Fellaini with the ball, he immediately kicked Coutinho who was retreating.
Coutinho's position in the starting lineup was"right winger", but at this moment, his position was more like a frontcourt free man or front midfielder.
Coutinho dribbled forward at high speed, and Manchester United's defenders did not dare to rush to grab it and kept retreating.
After holding the ball, the talented player from Brazil turned around and charged from the right side to the front of Manchester United's penalty area.
At this moment, Coutinho was affectionately called"Cool Bird" by Liverpool fans, and Coutinho's accurate long-range shot from the right side of the penalty area was called"an arrow piercing the clouds".
At this time, the Brazilian teenager on the field was full of vigor and vitality, and he fully exerted his offensive talent in the face of the Manchester United defenders.
This was completely different from the state he suddenly fell into after joining the Spanish giants Barcelona a few years later.
Coutinho faced Evans with the ball, and he stepped on a clever bicycle. Just when Evans was slightly stunned, Coutinho moved the ball to the inside and then shot directly.
"Bang!
He slammed the ball with his right foot.
The ball whizzed up and flew towards the near post of the goal like a gust of wind.
De Gea jumped and the ball brushed against his outstretched fingertips and slipped out from the goal post.
"ah……"Coutinho stomped his feet in regret. He was just a few centimeters away from taking the lead in this Manchester United derby.
The game continued.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Manchester United's backcourt blocked Sterling's pass, and central defender Carrick kicked the ball directly to Manchester United's frontcourt. The ball landed in front of Wilson, the center forward.
"That's it!"
On the sidelines, Van Gaal clenched his fists and his eyes lit up slightly.
The reason why he put Carrick in the central defender position was to use Carrick's vision and passing ability to accomplish what De Gea could not do. In
Liverpool's half, Wilson held Liverpool's central defender Skrtel with his back. At the same time, he had noticed that Chen Huan had left Joe Allen, who was defending him, behind through a fake run.
Wilson jumped high and passed the ball back to Chen Huan before Skrtel headed the ball. After the pass was completed, Wilson turned and accelerated as he landed, charging into Liverpool's penalty area.
At the same time, another center forward Falcao almost launched an attack into the penalty area at the same time.
Chen Huan looked up and observed, then met the ball without stopping and shot
"boom!"
"Crescent Moon Scimitar!"
The football flew out from Chen Huan's feet, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and quickly fell into Liverpool's penalty area.
The ball was not offside!
The ball landed right in front of Wilson.
The ball was passed just right, Wilson didn't need to adjust, just hit it directly!
Wilson thought so too, he saw Liverpool's goalkeeper Brad Jones had left the goal and rushed towards him with his arms waving.
Behind him, Skrtel's hands kept making small movements, and several consecutive slight pulls had already disturbed his balance.
"Hit it!"
Wilson shot the ball with his right leg when it was halfway down.
""Bang!"
His right leg kicked the ball, and with a dull sound, the football jumped high, flew over the goal, and flew onto the Manchester United diehard fans' stand facing the Liverpool goal.
Wilson faced such a great shooting opportunity, but he actually fired a cannon directly.
"Oh my god... I'm scared to death……"Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones rubbed his chest with his hand.
The game continued after Liverpool scored a goal.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball again, and Ashley Young passed it to Chen Huan.
After passing the ball, Ashley Young regretted it a little. It seemed that he didn't pass the ball hard enough, and Chen Huan might not be able to get the ball.
Just when Ashley Young was about to stop and participate in the next defense, he saw that Chen Huan, who was already very fast, actually accelerated again.
"Bell Speed���"
Chen Huan exerted his strength and kicked the ball to the side before Sterling, who was in a panic, stretched out his legs to block it.
"Don't think……"Sterling couldn't let Chen Huan pass him by like this. The winger who would bring joy to countless people in Manchester City in the future reached out and grabbed Chen Huan's jersey as he passed by him. He exerted force and directly pulled Chen Huan to the ground.
"beep——"
The referee blew the whistle immediately, ran over, and showed the first yellow gem card of the game to Sterling who raised his hands in a surrender gesture.
Ashley Young helped Chen Huan up. He was worried that his teammate would have a bad temper, so he said,"Chen, this is how the Reds derby is. There will inevitably be more actions, but they will not be directed at people.……"
"I understand, you take this one." Chen Huan used his toes to hook the ball and passed it to Ashley Young.
The ball was near the center circle, so it was not suitable for Chen Huan to take the penalty.
