While the Liverpool coaching staff were debating, their head coach Klopp didn't speak. He was thinking.

As an American coach, Bradley's tactics can generally be classified as offensive football. Generally speaking, Bradley's team pays attention to control. In Klopp's view, Bradley's tactics Swansea lacked rapid counterattacks and gained more stability in control.

This kind of ball control tactic may be very effective if it is a team with good strength. However, Swansea is only a mid-to-lower Premier League team with average strength and it is difficult to achieve good results. Especially in this game, they faced Manchester United, who are good at defensive counterattack tactics. Facing Manchester United, which has speed and counterattacks, they may not be so smart.

………………

In the visiting team's tactical guidance area at the Liberty Stadium in Wales, Mourinho smiled. Not only did the team take a 1:0 lead, but he also knew that his tactics were effective and his judgment was correct. I feel more confident in this next game.

Bradley's team's overall passing and control range is slow, and his professional knowledge has excellent foot skills and accurate passing. However, the breakthrough point is single and the passing routine is single, which makes the forward players' rushing points and movements become regular. , is easily restricted, resulting in a lack of outflanking in the middle.

Swansea, who were trailing 0:1, seemed a little confused and seemed to lack the necessary preparations to concede the ball first. This surprised Mourinho. It was hard for him to imagine that Bradley had not considered Swansea. How to play when conceding the ball early?

Only Bradley knows the answer.

In the game, Bruno and Ronaldo both scored twice.

Although the Latvian team playing away from home wisely chose defensive counterattack tactics, the Portuguese team, which has two current golden ball players, has an obvious advantage on the field.

Ronaldo, who also scored twice, scored his 15th and 16th goals for the Portuguese national team in 2016. Ronaldo scored 71 goals in 136 games in 14 years with the national team, far better than Messi and other big names. Ranked first in the number of goals scored by the current national team.

Bradley replaced Britton, replaced Fell, replaced a defensive midfielder, replaced an attacker, and strengthened the offense.

Unknowingly, the Premier League schedule is already close to the past third. Except for losing to Chelsea in the away game, Manchester United has won all the remaining ten league games. The collapse of Manchester United that many media hyped has not happened at all. On the contrary, the Red Devils continue to expand their lead in the standings, which makes some media and fans start to seriously study Manchester United.

Frankly speaking, Ronaldo's luck in this game was not ideal.

………………

After the start of the second half, Swansea pressed hard to score a goal to bring the score closer, but unexpectedly, Manchester United scored a goal in the 65th minute.

Previously, Manchester United's best start record in the history of the first 11 rounds of the Premier League era was created in the 2006-2007 season. At that time, the resurgent Manchester United, led by Ronaldo and Rooney, achieved a record of 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 11 rounds. , breaking the points record in the first 11 rounds with 28 points.

Manchester United's game is the last game of this round of the Premier League. After winning this victory, Manchester United once again expanded their advantage in the standings to 5 points.

In order to block the Portuguese team's attack, the Latvian team committed 23 fouls and goalkeeper Vanings made a total of 5 saves.

The leader of Ligue 1 is Lille. They have 9 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 12 league rounds, leading with 29 points.

There are regrets and imperfections, but Ronaldo's performance of scoring twice has brought a successful end to this year's national team career.

Even looking at the entire history of the Premier League, Manchester United's score of 30 points in the first 11 rounds is second only to Chelsea in the 2005-2006 season and Manchester City in the 2011-2012 season. In those two seasons, Chelsea and Manchester City both remained unbeaten in the first 11 league rounds, with 10 wins and 1 draw and 31 points.

In the 33rd minute, it was still Manchester United's quick counterattack. It was Bruno who passed the ball to Rooney quickly. Rooney took the ball and passed it to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball past the defender and shot successfully. Manchester United 3:0 Swann. West!

The game lasted just over half an hour, and Manchester United led their opponents by three goals.

Mourinho immediately replaced Mata and replaced Herrera to strengthen the team's defense.

In the injury time of the first half, Manchester United once again played a beautiful attack. Mata made a direct pass. Swansea failed to cause offside. Bruno broke into the penalty area and succeeded in a low shot to rewrite the score to 4:0.

There are two leaders in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich and Leipzig, the southern kings, are still unbeaten, but they have drawn 3 games in 10 league games.

The leader of Serie A is Juventus. The Bianconeri have achieved a good record of 10 wins and 2 losses in 12 rounds of Serie A, but they are still inferior to Manchester United.

………………

After a new week begins, the front page headline of the Manchester Guardian on this day is two numbers 11-30!

11 refers to the 11th round of the Premier League. Winning the game against Swansea is already the 11th round of the Premier League this season. Manchester United has scored 30 points in these 11 league rounds, setting a new record for Manchester United's best start in the Premier League era!

Swansea regained a victory in the 69th minute. Damian fouled Barrow from the wing. Sigurdsson passed a free kick from the right. Vanderhorn broke away from Manchester United's defense and scored with a header from close range. 1: 5.

Bradley replaced Spanish striker Llorente, who performed relatively average today, and replaced him with youngster Modou Barrow to continue to strengthen the offense.

This is a remarkable achievement. You must know that these 10 victories are of extremely high value. The BIG6 teams in the Premier League that fans call, in addition to the North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea have already played against Manchester United. After that, although Manchester United lost to Chelsea, they won the two mortal enemies of Manchester City and Liverpool.

This time it was Mata who scored the goal. He and Bruno entered the penalty area after hitting the wall. Assuming that the pass was true, Ibrahimovic followed up and shot. The football was pounced by Fabianski and flew up, landing just in front of Bruno. Bruno made a selfless cross, and Mata easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Leading by four goals at halftime, this almost killed the final suspense of the game!

Mourinho replaced Rooney and replaced Rashford, continuing to speed up the counterattack.

This is the fourth round of the European qualifying group stage for the World Cup in Russia. It is obvious that this is another massacre.

Before the end, after receiving Quaresma's cross, Ronaldo's header hit the crossbar.

Manchester United won so easily at the Liberty Stadium. In the words of commentator Gary Lineker, except for the last few minutes of the first half, when Swansea suddenly exerted its strength and caught Manchester United a little unprepared, the whole game was Throughout the game, Manchester United firmly controlled the game.

Mourinho high-fived his assistants in the dugout to celebrate. With a three-goal lead, the game was almost certain.

In 11 rounds of the league, Manchester United scored 33 goals, averaging 3 goals per game. It was the team with the most goals among all 20 teams. On the defensive end, Manchester United conceded 11 goals, averaging 1 goal per game. Although it is not outstanding, it is already very good, second only to Tottenham who only conceded 6 goals.

Crossbar, missed penalty, misjudgment, terrible luck.

In response to Bradley's substitution, Mourinho was tit for tat.

………………

In the 44th minute, Ronaldo finally found an opportunity to counter offside, entered the Latvian penalty area at high speed, and even passed the attacking Vanings, but the linesman mistakenly judged Ronaldo to be offside.

The Liberty Stadium was completely silent, except for the two or three thousand Manchester United fans in the visiting team's stands who cheered.

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Bruno broke through with the ball in the middle and suddenly separated. Rooney passed the ball to Ibrahimovic from the left. Ibrahimovic took the ball across the crossbar and shot low to score. Manchester United 2:0 Swansea.

Manchester United is the team with the highest average points per game among the 98 teams in the five major leagues. It can be said that it is unique among the five major leagues!

In the 57th minute, the Portuguese team got a penalty kick opportunity. Ronaldo deceived Vanings, but the ball hit the post and bounced to Vanings and out of the dangerous area. In club and national team, Ronaldo missed 6 of 10 penalty kicks in 2016.

With the end of this round of leagues, major European leagues have been temporarily suspended, and international football has ushered in the third international match day of the new season.

Among the five major leagues, La Liga leader Real Madrid is still undefeated, but the Galacticos, with 8 wins and 3 draws, only scored 27 points. In the same round as Manchester United, the points are 3 points less than Manchester United.

Swansea, which was trailing 0:5, was completely defeated, and the players looked confused and panicked on the court. And as time went by, this panic and confusion became more obvious. Even Bradley's continuous substitutions had no effect.

………………

Swansea scored a face-saving goal, but this goal had no effect on changing the situation, and the 4-goal disadvantage also made Swansea players have little fighting spirit.

In the next two weeks of international matches, the Portuguese national team has only one game, and that is Portugal playing at home on the evening of November 13th, local time, against Latvia, another player in this group.

After adding two more goals, Bruno's number of goals in the Portuguese national team in 2016 has risen to 20 goals, once again breaking his personal goal record for the national team in a natural year.

Throughout the game, the Portuguese team had a ball possession rate of 75%, close to 80%. Such a high rate of possession is rare in football matches.

In the whole game, the Portuguese team took 30 shots, 11 of which were on target, and scored 6 goals, while the Latvian team took 6 shots, 2 of which were on target, and scored 1 goal.

In the end, Manchester United, the leader of the Premier League, defeated Swansea, which ranked second from last in the standings, 5:1 in an away game, successfully obtained a three-point victory, and staged the third massacre of this round of the league.

In the other 13 years of Ronaldo's national team career, Ronaldo scored fewer goals than in 2016.
