From the man behind the football king to the football king

Mourinho studied Liverpool's games and found that Milner's assists tend to be more active in the second half than the first. I don't know if this is Klopp's intentional arrangement, but it is true.

So Mourinho felt that Manchester United could make more use of Milner's side in the second half. After he came up to assist, he attacked this way.

On the other side is youngster Alexander-Arnold. This youngster made his first Premier League start for Liverpool due to Clyne's injury. He has little game experience and may be Manchester United's breakthrough point, but Manchester United's focus is still on Milner on the wing. .

Klopp's team is very particular about wing attacks. At the same time, there will be gaps behind them. It depends on whether Manchester United can seize them.

………………

The intermission went by quickly.

The Manchester United players returned to the court, but not a single sign of the Liverpool players was seen. They were still in the locker room.

Klopp does like to make these off-the-table moves. Although they are always controversial, they are very effective and there is nothing that people can do against him.

Manchester United's fast break finally failed. When Mata passed the ball to Ibrahimovic while running at high speed, his intention was too obvious. Liverpool defender Milner predicted it in advance and intercepted the football midway.

But when Bruno passed by him, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly changed his plan, turned around and chased back suddenly.

However, Mane did not have a smile on his face, but gritted his teeth and fought for every ball. But it's hard to tell from his expression whether he is enjoying the game, because he has this serious expression in every game until the end.

Here, Mane used fancy moves to tease the Manchester United defender who was guarding him, while Bruno just relied on fake movements of his upper body to get rid of Wijnaldum, who was guarding him from behind.

Both men scored goals in this game. In addition to scoring goals, they are also core figures in their respective offensive systems. Liverpool's offense cannot bypass Mane, while Manchester United's offense is simply initiated by Bruno.

Coutinho made a fake move of riding a bicycle and found that Bruno was not fooled at all. At the same time Milner got past him and he decided to pass the ball.

Kanter worked hard in defense to block Lallana's shot, and then continued to defend.

No one can guarantee that Klopp's move was not some psychological tactic.

Most people will be fooled at this time and rush to the right, leaving him with space to pass the ball.

………………

………………

It wasn't until the last minute of the intermission that they gradually walked out of the tunnel and appeared on the court.

The two of them seemed to have endless physical strength. They could still sprint with all their strength after running back and forth in such a short period of time.

Coutinho stood there and moved the football with his left foot, seemingly trying to break through from the right. Milner's movement was just to cover him.

Not only do you have to stand compactly, but you also have to stand on tiptoes to make the wall higher, which makes it much more difficult to get around the wall with a free kick.

Bruno made a wonderful pass here, and Mane broke through from the wing and created a murderous opportunity.

When the time reached 60 minutes, Mourinho and Klopp both made substitution adjustments. Klopp replaced his ace Coutinho, while Mourinho used his captain Rooney replaced vice-captain Carrick, and Mata replaced Lingard, who worked hard but was in average condition.

This is the first one-on-one match between the two in this game.

"Mane's ability is really superb. His speed, technique and body are all top-notch..."

Lallana is just a problem for Manchester United. The biggest problem is the extremely active Senegalese.

Coutinho saw the football hit Bruno's chest. When the football popped out, he didn't rush to grab it. He just raised his hands and stood there complaining that the wall was too close.

Coutinho pulled from the center to the left and ran past Bruno.

The casters also quickly realized that this was a battle between two cores.

Bruno quickly turned back to defend, and Coutinho, who had just chased back, also quickly rushed forward.

He doesn't want others to think that he can only play as a substitute, and he doesn't want to be a super substitute or anything like that.

Bruno followed him to the side. Although he is not responsible for marking Coutinho, since he encounters him, there is no reason to let it go.

Manchester United and Liverpool were both attacking each other and both had opportunities, but neither one took advantage of them.

Origi worked very hard and wanted to score a goal for himself. He knew what this game meant to him.

Klopp was talking to his players all the way, and in the end he put his arm around Henderson's neck and whispered as he walked out of the tunnel.

After both sides stood firm, the second half of the game began.

Since everyone wants to pursue victory in the game, they must also work hard on offense.

This is just the right distance for Coutinho, who stands in front of the ball.

The Manchester United players actually didn't wait long. Klopp hadn't gone too far this time, so the Manchester United players didn't feel any interference.

In addition to Sadio Mane, Lallana also performed well. Kante was specially responsible for marking him, but he failed to follow anyone in the first half, allowing Lallana to plan Liverpool's opening goal.

The two people each used their magical powers and showed their best selves.

The second half of the game started with Liverpool. Liverpool launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal as soon as they came up, and seemed to want to score as soon as possible.

Mata, who was outside, received the ball, turned around and led forward, and the wall, which was basically composed of offensive players, seemed to have received the signal, suddenly dispersed, and ran forward one after another.

For him, enjoying the game may mean fighting with all his heart and by any means necessary.

Bruno was asked to line up the wall. He motioned for everyone to stand tighter and not give Coutinho a chance to shoot the football through the wall.

Both head coaches made substitutions and adjustments on the offensive end.

Mane's shot in the penalty area missed slightly, and Bruno's header from the corner kick almost hit the ball.

Of course, there are other commentators who don't think so: "Ha! Here we go again! This is one of Klopp's most common tactics - letting the opponent's players come on first during the halftime break, and then waiting on the court for his players to It’s always late. It’s cold in the UK in January, haha!”

………………

………………

Liverpool is about to take a corner kick.

"It seems that Klopp must have talked a lot in the locker room, so that the fifteen minutes were used up and he hasn't finished talking yet." The commentator joked after seeing this scene.

Although the score has always been a draw, Bruno really enjoyed this game. Show your best self in a match against a strong opponent and force the opponent to show your best self as well. Play to your heart's content and lead the team forward.

Coutinho swayed, his feet dancing behind the ball like a butterfly, making fancy fake moves.

Sadio Mane and Bruno are not opposite each other. He spends more time on the wing, while Bruno is in the middle. Both of them are offensive players and rarely have one-on-one defensive situations.

Milner passed the ball to Coutinho, and as soon as the Brazilian received the ball, Bruno appeared in front of him.

Both men are indeed enjoying the game, but they enjoy it in different ways and what they think they enjoy is also different. But they must have one thing in common, that is, pursuing victory in the game and never stopping running until the last moment.

In the second half, Lallana's performance became more active, and Kanter had a hard time following.

Throw-in!

To outsiders, the defense this time was unremarkable, and possession of the ball was not even regained. The football was still in Liverpool's hands. But in Coutinho's heart, he was a little surprised.

Manchester United's Ibrahimovic and Jesse Lingard are also working hard.

However, Bruno remained unmoved. He just stared at the football, lowered his center of gravity, maintained his posture, and got stuck inside Coutinho, preventing him from making a straight breakthrough.

Liverpool followed up with a fast break.

………………

But almost at the same time, Bruno, who had been standing still like a wooden stake, suddenly put his foot down and put down the shovel!

He supported his body with his left foot and stretched out his right foot, which happened to be blocking Coutinho's passing route. The football that Coutinho knocked with his heel hit Bruno's right foot and bounced out of the baseline.

Although Bruno was hit in the chest, he had no impact on the team. He saw the team's opportunity to counterattack and rushed forward.

………………

Kante fouled Coutinho, who had just come on as a substitute, and gave Liverpool a free kick thirty meters from the goal.

A series of outstanding performances as a substitute have allowed him to prove his potential to others. What is missing now is to perform well in the starting lineup.

But the rivalry between them never stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the forefoot of Coutinho's right foot touched the ground, supporting his body, lifting his heel and swinging hard to the left!

He used this fancy move to pass the ball to Milner!

In the end, Coutinho's free kick failed to go around the wall. The football was kicked out by him and hit Bruno's chest and bounced back.

He didn't know if Mane enjoyed such a game, but now he has a smile on his face.

"Bruno's awareness is very good! The passes he sends to his teammates are always the most comfortable and most conducive to the team's offense!"

The midfielders of both teams are very strong and can deliver cannonballs to their teammates, but both goalkeepers performed well today, and the forwards of both teams were unlucky on the final kick.

He felt that his fake moves were realistic enough. Not only did his feet move, but the center of gravity of his upper body also changed. However, looking at Bruno's defensive moves, it was as if he knew in advance that he would do this, and actually stretched out his feet to block it in advance. …

Bruno got up from the ground, did not retreat, but continued to stare at Coutinho.
