During the intermission, the commentators and guests of major TV media were also analyzing the game. Everyone had the same point of view. They all believed that as the game progressed, the game would tend to develop in a direction that was not conducive to Liverpool.

Professionals are very clear about the tactics of Klopp's team, which has extremely high requirements on the physical fitness of the players. As the physical fitness of the players declines, Klopp's tactical power will plummet.

However, Ye Su's Manchester United's tactics are relatively balanced and tend to control the tactics of play, which will not consume physical energy so quickly.

Of course, Ye Su's team will also press high, and their tactical power will not be inferior to Klopp's. However, Manchester United rarely use such extreme style of play. Especially in the first half of today's game, Manchester United obviously adopted a late attack, and did not fight against Liverpool, who were fighting at home.

Coupled with the thickness of Manchester United's lineup, when a certain player's physical fitness is in crisis, he can be replaced by an excellent opponent player, which will not affect Manchester United's combat effectiveness.

This is the scary place in Manchester United!

Of course, Manchester United can have the thickness of the current lineup, all thanks to Ye Su's successful transformation of Manchester United's lineup in the past two years. Klopp failed to introduce enough players who met his tactical requirements shortly after coaching Liverpool, which greatly affected the team's tactical power and caused no significant change in the team's record.

………………

After the start of the second half of the game, the trend of the scene was just like the analysis of these professionals at halftime.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool and Manchester United were able to play back and forth, attacking and defending each other with great vigor. But after 60 minutes of the game, the balance on the field began to tilt in favor of Manchester United.

In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester United made personnel adjustments. Mata replaced Harry Kane. Manchester United changed 433, 4141 to be precise.

This change seems to remove a striker and replace it with a midfielder. It is a conservative tactical adjustment, but in fact it is an out-and-out strengthening of the offense. Because on the field, Manchester United has changed from De Bruyne's single-core drive to today's Mata and De Bruyne's dual-core drive.

Shortly after Mata's debut, the situation on the court fell into the control of Manchester United, and Liverpool could only respond passively.

The stalemate on the field was finally broken in the 77th minute of the game.

Manchester United's continuous offense, Liverpool has been tired of defense and has little counterattack power. At this time, Manchester United won a corner kick.

Manchester United took a corner kick, Mata made a cross, Maguire hit the crossbar with a header, Rooney volleyed in the penalty area, Mignolet pounced and failed to change the ball's route, the ball scored!

Manchester United lead Liverpool 1:0!

At that moment, the hustle and bustle of the Anfield stadium fell into silence. Facing their team's home game behind the archenemy, the Red Army fans felt a little unacceptable for a while.

Immediately, Liverpool fans supported their team in a more enthusiastic way, and the singing of "You'll Never Walk Alone" rang through the sky of Anfield.

………………

Amid tens of thousands of home fans cheering for the team anthem, the Liverpool players plucked up their courage and barely started a deal with Manchester United.

However, facing the powerful Manchester United at this moment, Liverpool is not strong enough, and this is not a gap that courage can make up, especially when the entire Liverpool team is extremely exhausted.

at this time,

There were frequent scenes at Anfield where Liverpool players were stealing the ball by the flying Manchester United players.

It was originally Klopp's housekeeping skill to fight back on the spot in the frontcourt and then attack, but he didn't expect it to appear on the rival Manchester United now, and the team they supported was on the side of the steal, which made many Liverpool fans feel helpless, even hopeless.

Klopp kept shaking his head on the sidelines. He knew very well that his players had worked hard enough, but after more than 80 minutes of fighting, his players had already entered a state of exhaustion, powerless and in good condition. Manchester United confrontation.

Especially seeing Ye Su's three personnel adjustments, Klopp is full of envy: Mata replaced Harry Kane, Bruno Fernandez replaced Vardy, and Carrick replaced De Bruyne. The players who came off the bench, or the players who were replaced, all have the strength of world-class players.

Even though Carrick in the middle is about to turn 35 years old, but this season Carrick has played in the best form in recent seasons, and it can be said that he has returned to the peak in his second spring. Once again has the strength of the world's top players.

After his debut, he ran aggressively and passed the ball with sophistication. Although he was in the midfielder position, he was the real offensive engine of Manchester United after De Bruyne left the field, which made Klopp very jealous.

………………

In the 84th minute, Manchester United launched a general attack, destroying Liverpool's hope of equalizing in one fell swoop. Carrick, who suddenly advanced, completed a key steal in the frontcourt. He then sent a scalpel-like through ball, which pierced Liverpool's two lines of defense at once.

Rooney received a pass from Carrick in a very loose defensive environment. Lu Xiaopang looked very good today. He responded to Carrick's pass, flicked the ball lightly, turned around and shot.

Then, fans all over the world saw that the ball went straight to the dead corner of the far corner of the goal like a fired shell.

Mignolet was completely helpless against Rooney's sudden shot, standing in front of the goal and watching the ball fly into the goal from the other side of his position.

Manchester United players ran wantonly at Anfield again, facing the crazy boos of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, they celebrated wantonly, completely ignoring their performance.

At this moment, the boos and curses of the Liverpool fans were like the barking of a negative dog, stern and stern, and could not affect the Manchester United players who were used to big scenes at all.

Manchester United's goal has actually destroyed the Liverpool players' will to resist. They are exhausted physically and mentally, and they have no ability to break through Manchester United's goal.

However, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of home fans and the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" still sung by tens of thousands of fans, they had no choice but to attack Manchester United's goal.

However, this kind of attack is obviously powerless. Apart from looking a little tragic, it is actually useless.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score remained at 0:2, with the home team Liverpool ahead.

Although the score did not appear very dazzling, but after the game professionals commented on the game, all of them thought it was a complete defeat for Liverpool.

In the whole game, although Liverpool contributed nearly 20 shots, in fact there was no absolute chance to score!

On the contrary, although Manchester United's 13 shots were 6 times less than Liverpool's, but in terms of shots on target, Manchester United was far ahead by 8:2.

That is to say, Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet performed well today, otherwise Liverpool would definitely lose more than two goals.

………………

Ye Su straightened his suit, then walked towards Klopp, stretched out his hand and said, "Jurgen, nice to meet you!"

A forced smile appeared on Klopp's face, and he said, "Ye, facing such a scene, I'm not happy at all."

Ye Su smiled and said, "I am relieved to hear your words like this. This is the greatest compliment to me. I hope that every time I meet with you in the future, you will say such words after the game."

Klopp shook his head helplessly, and said, "Ye, you simply won't let me live! However, even if you are an opponent, I have to admit that you have done a good job."

Ye Su smiled and said, "Thank you again for your compliment, how about we have a drink together later?"

Klopp also smiled and said: "If you sell me a few players, even if you risk your life, I can accept your invitation!"

Ye Su shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm worried that I will be beaten to death by Manchester United fans at night."

The two then walked away in opposite directions.

………………

After Anfield's victory over Liverpool, Manchester United's advantage in the Premier League standings became more and more obvious, because Leicester City, which was ranked second before, lost another point in this round.

At Villa Park, the Blue Foxes made a 1-1 draw with the home team. After 22 rounds, the Blue Fox's score was 12 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. They scored 43 points and continued to rank second, but only 1 point more than the third Manchester City, but 16 points less than the top Manchester United.

With only 16 games left in the season league, it is simply impossible for the Blue Fox to catch up with the 16-point difference and the huge goal difference.

Blue Moon swept Crystal Palace 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium in this round, overtaking Arsenal, which was tied in this round, and ranked third in the standings with 13 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses and 42 points.

Arsenal's position is very familiar to gun fans. Their record is 12 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, and they have scored 41 points, temporarily ranking 4th in the Premier League!

Tottenham still followed quietly. Pochettino's team beat the black cat Sunderland 4:1 at White Hart Lane this round and won their 10th victory of the season. Too many draws have involved Bai Lily's ranking. The 9 draws are second only to the Toffee Everton with 11 draws, but both teams can be called draw experts. However, they still scored 39 points and ranked 5th.

Today's Premier League standings can be described as distinct. Manchester United is undoubtedly the only contender for the Premier League title this season. Leicester City, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham can only fight for the Champions League. After all, the point gap between them and Manchester United at the top of the list is too large, and there is almost only a theoretical possibility of reversal.

Many people believe that Manchester United is very likely to create the record for the most early championship rounds in Premier League history this season.

Previously, the top three in the Premier League's early championship rounds were all maintained by Manchester United. In the 2000-2001 season at the turn of the century, Manchester United won the championship in the 33rd round, 5 rounds ahead of schedule. Then came the 1999-2000 season, and the 2012-2013 season, Manchester United won the championship in the 34th round, 4 rounds ahead of schedule.
