I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After returning from Zurich, Yesu and Manchester United ushered in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final against Hull City.

Because the weekend is the second round of this season's Premier League double-red match, Ye Su only sent a rotation lineup to play in the League Cup semi-final against Hull City.

As a result, the two sides drew a goalless draw in the first half, but after Manchester United stepped up their offensive in the second half, they quickly achieved results.

In the 56th minute, Martial scored the ball from the left, Bruno Fernandez scored from the center to the right, Valencia kicked the ball and made a pass, Harry Kane took off to fight for the header and ferried to the back point, Mata scored in front of the goal Net, 1:0, Manchester United took the lead at home.

In the 73rd minute, Bruno Fernandez took the opportunity to set the ball in the front court of Manchester United. The ball bypassed the wall and hit the inside of the left post and popped out.

In the 87th minute, on the left side of the front court, Martial fell to the ground and scored the ball. Ashley Young passed the ball to the back point. Fellaini shook his head in front of the goal and made an arc. No way, the goal was scored, 2:0, Manchester United extended their lead at home.

Finally, at the end of the game, Manchester United defeated Hull City 2:0 at home, taking the lead in the two-round competition system, and ushered in a 9-game winning streak in all competitions.

………………

At 23:00 on January 14, 2017, Beijing time, and 15:00 local time in the UK, the 21st round of the Premier League ushered in a focus battle. The Red Devils Manchester United sat at the Old Trafford Stadium to face the Red Army Liverpool.

This is a powerful battle that has attracted worldwide attention, because in addition to Manchester United's performance as always, Klopp's Liverpool has also performed very well this season, ranking in the Champions League for a long time.

In the first 20 rounds of the Premier League, Klopp's team achieved 13 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 43 points, beating Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham, ranking third in the Premier League.

However, Liverpool's record is still far behind Manchester United. In the current Premier League standings, Manchester United, with one round less, has achieved 18 wins and 1 tie, ranking first with 55 points, 9 points higher than second-ranked Chelsea.

Therefore, in this round of the game, Liverpool's task is not only to stop Manchester United, but also to continue their own hopes of winning the championship. Because once Liverpool lose at Old Trafford, it means that they will be 15 points behind Manchester United in an extra round!

And if Manchester United beat Crystal Palace in the 16th round of the Premier League next week, they will be 18 points behind Manchester United.

With only 17 rounds left in the league,

If Liverpool wants to reverse Manchester United again, there is really only a theoretical possibility left.

The current lineups of the two teams are relatively complete. Liverpool has three injured players, but they are all insignificant marginal players; Manchester United's first team is full of health, and no one has suffered injuries.

However, for Klopp, the very headache is that the core midfielder Coutinho has been making a transfer recently. The Brazilian hopes to leave Anfield in the winter window.

Of course, the Red Army didn't want to lose their own star. After Suarez moved to Barcelona and Gerrard retired, the Brazilian was already the well-deserved number one star in Liverpool's team, an absolute thigh figure.

However, Coutinho is determined to leave Anfield because of his relationship with the club. In order to punish Coutinho, Klopp has taken the Brazilian out of the starting lineup, hoping to press Coutinho.

However, at such a critical moment ushered in the double red meeting with Manchester United, Klopp is in a dilemma. Should Coutinho be started, or should he continue to be benched and go to Old Trafford with the rest of the lineup?

After repeated thinking, Klopp decided that it is better to let Coutinho continue to sit on the bench. People set an example. Otherwise, if one by one wants to leave the team and make trouble, then the team will be unable to lead.

………………

The name of the Double Red Club, coupled with the fact that Manchester United and Liverpool have performed very well this season, so this game is definitely a strong dialogue, and the game has also attracted a lot of attention. There are at least more than 100 people around the world. The country and territory chose to broadcast the game live.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United, who beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield in the first leg of the season, played very hard. They were strongly blocked by Liverpool.

Because of the loss of the midfield organization and offensive core, coupled with the away game, Klopp's posture in this game was very low, and he did not hesitate to use fouls and lethal tactics to limit Manchester United.

On Manchester United's side, the double defensive midfielder composed of Kanter and Fellaini is also very tough. Throughout the game, people turned their backs on their backs frequently.

The game scene was very hot, the whistle sounded frequently, and the fluency of the game was repeatedly broken. It can be said that after watching this game, you will know why the Premier League hand-to-hand combat is so famous all over the world.

Both sides put more attention on restricting the opponent and preventing the opponent from scoring. On the contrary, both sides were restrained a lot on the offensive end.

………………

It wasn't until the 37th minute of the first half that the deadlock was broken.

Firmino broke into the penalty area after stealing from the front court, and Kyle Walker made up his position in time to kick the ball out of the penalty area. After the corner kick was taken, the referee Oliver decided that Maguire had a handball foul and awarded a penalty kick. Maguire did not argue. Judging from the replay, Maguire's outstretched arm did hit the ball.

Milner took the penalty, tricked De Gea into the bottom right corner, and Liverpool took the lead at Old Trafford.

The Liverpool people celebrated wildly in the Theater of Dreams, especially the Liverpool captain Henderson, who even gave Ye Su a few demonstrative glances.

Ye Su clenched his fists in displeasure. He didn't expect Manchester United to give his opponent a penalty. But he can't blame Maguire who gave the point, after all, no one wants such a situation.

He began to think about how to deal with the next game in the case of 0:1. However, Ye Su soon discovered that the tactics and strategies he had just thought of had become useless, because Manchester United quickly scored a goal to equalize the score.

Maybe it was finally a goal, so the Liverpool players were a little slack. Therefore, when Manchester United organized this offensive, when Luke Shaw broke through from the wing to the center with the ball, Liverpool's defensive players did not actively defend. The lax defense allowed Rooney to receive Luke Shaw's ball After passing the ball, he calmly stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area, and then he could turn around and shoot more easily. The football crossed an arc and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!" The commentator roared.

Ye Su was stunned for a moment, then applauded excitedly in celebration.

"Great job, Wayne!" He expressed his satisfaction with the team captain who stepped forward at the critical moment.

"Liverpool conceded the goal very quickly, they were only three minutes ahead!"

"This conceded goal exposed Liverpool's shortcomings. After scoring the goal, they slacked off. In addition, Lovren's defensive awareness was too slow." The commentator said mercilessly, "Love Lun is like an 80-year-old man, watching Rooney turn around and shoot. Perhaps, he was frightened by the World Footballer?"

………………

The game ended 1:1 in the first half.

It stands to reason that two goals in the half and a score of 1:1 give the impression that the first half of the game should not be so dull, and it can even be said to be relatively exciting.

However, the audience who watched this game definitely don’t think so. Throughout the first half of the game, both sides seemed to put all their energy into fierce fighting and defense. Su and Liverpool coach Klopp also yelled, and the atmosphere was manic.

"To be honest, I don't have much hope that the second half of the game will be good." Lineker said to his partner.

"Objectively speaking, a 1:1 draw is acceptable to Liverpool as a guest." The partner said, "I just don't know if Ye Su is willing to accept the result of scoring a point at home. After all, since last year's Premier League match on January 23, In the 23rd round, since Manchester United was tied 1:1 by Southampton at Old Trafford, the Red Devils have won 18 consecutive victories in the Premier League in the Theater of Dreams. 29 games! I think neither Ye Su nor the Manchester United players want their home winning streak to end in the hands of their arch-enemy Liverpool!"

In the view of the commentator, Manchester United is a strong team, and sitting at Old Trafford at home, they should have more ambitions and pursuits.

………………

The two sides continued to entangle in the midfield, and as the game progressed, about 60 minutes later, Manchester United coach Yesu took the lead in making adjustments. He replaced Fellaini with Mata.

De Bruyne retreated to form a double midfielder with Kanter, while Mata appeared in the middle.

"Sure enough, Ye Su doesn't look content with just getting one point at Old Trafford. Now it's up to Klopp to react."

The camera was shot to Liverpool coach Klopp close-up, and then the camera was given to Coutinho on the bench. Obviously, if Liverpool coach Klopp is also unwilling to draw and wants to make adjustments on the offensive end , the biggest possibility is to replace Coutinho.

Coutinho also looked anxious, staring down the pitch, eager to play.

Although he had a stiff fight with the club because he wanted to escape from Anfield, after all, Liverpool is the team he has played for for four years, and he still has some feelings. Coutinho also doesn't want his team to lose again at Old Trafford.

Since Ye Su became Manchester United's coach, Liverpool have faced Manchester United's six-game losing streak. During this period, he was the main force and even the core player of Liverpool's team. Coutinho didn't think this was a glorious record. He didn't want the team to lose for the seventh time in a row.
