Ashley Young passed the ball to Fellaini in front of him near the center circle. After holding the ball, the latter chose to pass the ball to the unmarked winger Valencia in the face of Liverpool's pressure.

""Transfer!" Chen Huan retreated from the second striker position, stretched out his hand and shouted.

Valencia immediately kicked a high ball over two Liverpool players and flew in front of Chen Huan.

Joe Allen, who was responsible for one-on-one close defense of Chen Huan, had already moved over. Seeing this, he immediately pressed his body against Chen Huan's right foot, forcing Chen Huan to be unable to complete the turn with the ball.

Chen Huan did not want to turn with the ball at this time, because he had found a better way to pass the ball out of the corner of his eye.

Ashley Young, who was on the left side, took advantage of the fact that all the Liverpool players on the field were focusing on the ball that was about to be held. When the ball hit Chen Huan, Ashley Young was advancing at high speed along the sideline, with only one Liverpool player following him from a distance.

The ball landed in front of Chen Huan, and Joe Allen adjusted his center of gravity and pressed his body towards Chen Huan.

Chen Huan did not stop the ball and directly passed it to the left side with the back of his right foot.

The ball drew a curve in the air and fell near Ashley Young.

But when it fell, the line of the ball changed, and it failed to land in front of Ashley Young, but fell at the feet of Liverpool midfielder Gerrard who was defending.

"well……"On the sidelines, Van Gaal sighed softly, but immediately followed with a loud applause.

It was rare for Chen Huan to notice this extremely hidden passing line, but the ball was not successfully passed. Such passing attempts still had to continue. In the 40th minute of the game, Chen Huan saw that Manchester United's midfielder was unable to pass through Liverpool's midfielder, and once again retreated to help Manchester United's midfielder pass the ball.

And this time, when Chen Huan received the ball and turned around, he was knocked to the ground by Liverpool's full-backs Moreno and Joe Allen.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded a penalty kick, but did not show a yellow card.

When Manchester United's teammates put pressure on the referee again, Moreno spit at Chen Huan from a distance.

Chen Huan saw it, he did not rush up to argue with Moreno in a rage, but just raised his arm and shook it gently at the other party.

The intensity of the game between the two Reds can be seen from this.

After Manchester United served the ball, the two sides entangled for a while, and the first half was over.

In the process of returning to the locker room from the court, the players of the two teams did not communicate or contact with each other at all

……

"Coach Zhang, the first half of the game is now over. This game was really intense. Do you have any opinions you would like to share with our fans?"

"Of course," Coach Zhang said with a smile,"We can see that this is a game on the surface, but in fact it is a coaching of two tactics. Manchester United is trying to send the ball to the front court through high air based on a solid defense, and then the players in the front court quickly connect the offense."

"But Liverpool used the 'wolf pack' tactic, that is, every player on the field can be the initiator and the end of the attack, which is a contest of two different tactics."

At this time, the first half of the game data appeared on the big screen, and James explained:"In the first half, Manchester United had 45% of the ball possession, Liverpool had 55% of the ball possession; Manchester United had 4 shots, 1 shot on target, Liverpool had 5 shots, 2 shots on target; Manchester United's pass success rate was 82%, Liverpool's pass success rate was 92%%……"

After reporting all the data one by one, Xiao Zhan said:"It seems that the two teams are actually quite similar. Except for the pass success rate of Manchester United, which is slightly worse, the other data are similar. It is hard to tell who is better."

Coach Zhang interrupted and said:"Manchester United's low pass success rate may be because they use long passes more frequently, which lowers Manchester United's overall success rate."

……

Inside the Manchester United locker room, Van Gaal cleared his throat and said,"In the first half, we played well overall. In the second half, our overall tactics will remain the same, but we will make some small changes in the front court."

Van Gaal looked at Chen Huan and asked,"Chen, is your physical fitness okay?"

"No"

"Okay, then you should retreat to the middle as much as possible in the second half to help the midfield and backcourt pass the ball forward."

Chen Huan nodded and agreed.

Van Gaal pointed at Wilson and said,"You will still be in front of the front line in the second half, but your movement should be more flexible and your running range should be expanded. Try to pull Liverpool's defense line through movement and create space for your teammates."

"I see"

"Falcao, in the second half, you need to pay attention to supporting Chen's forward attack through your own movement. Wilson's ability to hold the ball is limited. You need to move closer to the two flanks and form cooperation with your teammates on the flanks."

"I know what to do."Falcao also nodded in agreement.

The two center forwards who started against Liverpool are both marginal players of the team this season. They all want to gain a foothold in the first team through limited time, so they will naturally try their best to complete the tactics ordered by the coach.

In the following halftime break, Van Gaal gave the team a few more instructions, but he never looked at the owner of Manchester United's No. 10 jersey.

As the captain, Rooney should have been in the locker room to encourage his teammates at this moment, but he didn't do that. He leaned against his locker and looked at everything happening in front of him expressionlessly like an outsider.

At the end of the 15 minutes, De Gea stood up and loudly encouraged the players. The players on the roster responded to De Gea's encouragement and lined up to leave the locker room.

In the second half, Liverpool and Manchester United changed sides and started the game.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool showed a strong offensive. Their frontcourt players kept attacking Manchester United's ball-holding players. Once they intercepted the ball, they did not pass it back to the organization, but continued to attack Manchester United's half by dribbling or passing the ball.

This continuous attack made Manchester United nervous in the first half, and De Gea contributed three consecutive The god-level save saved Manchester United's goal.

The Liverpool players obviously couldn't keep up such intense running and fighting for a long time. Ten minutes later, Liverpool's pressure became less fierce and continuous.

Manchester United's midfielder's ability to pass the ball improved a lot after Chen Huan's frequent retreats. Chen Huan's long pass ability and personal ability also made Liverpool players speechless.

At this moment, Chen Huan once again retreated from the second striker position to the center circle to get the ball. After holding the ball, he pulled and dribbled and easily passed Joe Allen who was guarding him.
