Chapter 405 Anfield, shut up!
Of course.
Whether it is a defensive counterattack or a high-position press, the essence of tactics is to seize the moment of transition between offense and defense, and then take advantage of the opponent's unstable formation to gain a larger space for counterattack opportunities.
At Anfield, Mourinho was also more concerned about Liverpool's counterattack speed when switching from defense to offense.
So, he chose to simply give up possession of the ball and let Liverpool attack, forming a positional attack.
As a result, Liverpool will not be able to play at speed.
Once they steal the ball, they can counterattack Liverpool.
In the final analysis, the key to the outcome of this game lies in which side's counterattack is sharper!
And Lingard was right.
As the most threatening player in Manchester United, every time Ling Feng takes the ball, he will be booed by tens of thousands of home team fans in Anfield.
The overwhelming boos were like a sonic attack, constantly irritating Ling Feng's ears.
Other players, even superstars, will be affected by such noisy boos.
Some would also like to pass the ball out immediately to make the boos disappear.
However, as the core organizer of Manchester United, it is impossible for Ling Feng not to get the ball.
Of course, he has long been used to this situation.
Moreover, he is not the kind of player who will shrink away timidly after being booed. On the contrary, he is the type who gets more excited when the opponent fans boo!
Under Liverpool's high pressure, Ling Feng became the most trusted player by his teammates.
As long as you give the ball to Ling Feng, everything will be fine!
Moreover, Manchester United's two midfielders, whether Kanter or Herrera, have good ball-playing abilities.
Using Liverpool's yet-to-be-completed high-position pressing tactics, Manchester United also relied on the diamond-shaped positioning of Ling Feng, Herrera, and Kante to firmly control the ball without giving any chance. Any chance for Liverpool!
Seeing his players constantly being mobilized by passes, Klopp also frowned on the sidelines.
He expected that Mourinho would adopt a low defensive strategy to deal with his high press, thus preventing his team from having too much space to attack in depth.
However, he never expected that Manchester United's midfield trio could actually produce smooth passing and control!
With the frantic pressing one after another in the opening game, the Liverpool players also consumed a lot of energy.
The Red Jun players in red jerseys also retreated slightly, intending to take a breath before continuing to press forward.
And at this moment, Ling Feng, who was always paying attention to the situation on the court, keenly captured this detail!
In the 20th minute of the game, Ling Feng once again retreated to the midfield to get the ball. Emre Can's follow-up was a little slower than half a beat, giving Ling Feng time to turn around.
Turn around, Ling Feng sent a direct pass without hesitation.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who held central defender Lovren with his back in front, received the ball and stepped on it, and then immediately knocked back to Ling Feng who was advancing at high speed!
The latter, surrounded by Emre Can and Henderson, did not stop the ball, but directly used the outside instep of his right foot to send a diagonal kick to the left rib.
"Marcus!"
After the ball was passed, Ling Feng's shout rang out.
However, Rashford has already started in advance.
I saw this "wonder boy" like a blue lightning, suddenly overtaking from behind the Liverpool right back
"Tacit pass and run!"
"Rashford entered the penalty area!"
However, even if Klein turned around a little slowly, he very skillfully used his body to squeeze Rashford's sprinting space, preventing him from
Under Klein's personal interference, Rashford stretched out the toes of his right foot to move the ball forward, then accelerated twice, and swept with his left foot before losing his balance!
"Inverted triangle!"
At this time, Ibrahimovic attracted Liverpool's double central defenders Matip and Lovren in the penalty area, while Henderson and Emre Can had not yet Return to defense in place.
So much so that Ling Feng, who inserted himself into the penalty area, was completely unmarked!
"Ling Feng!"
When the red jun player in the penalty area turned his head, he was surprised to find that Ling Feng had already swung his right leg and was about to shoot the ball.
Matip rushed forward without hesitation, using his body to form a wall of flesh, trying to block the shooting angle of the Red Devils No. 7.
However, at this critical moment, Ling Feng made an operation that amazed everyone:
He calmly faked a shot and made a dunk. After sending Matip flying, he pushed the ball towards the near corner of the goal with his left foot.
Perhaps his view was blocked by Ibrahimovic or Lovren in front of him, so that the ball went into the goal. Karius, who was standing on the goal line, did not react in any way.
“Goal~~~”
“The ball is scored!”
“Handle it calmly!”
"This is Ling Feng's first goal for Manchester United against Liverpool!"
"It is worth mentioning that he scored this with his reverse left foot!"
< br>"Manchester United is taking the lead at Anfield!"
After the goal, Ling Feng made a gorgeous turn, dodged Ibrahimovic's big hand that wanted to grab him, and then ran towards the field. Main stand next to it.
Just when everyone thought he was going to make his signature celebration amidst the abuse and boos from the home team fans, Ling Feng once again surprised everyone: < br>
He suddenly paused and stood in front of the main stand in a sea of red. Then he raised his arms up and down, and finally put his hands behind his ears to signal that the boos would be louder.
“Didn’t you eat?”
“Louder!”
“I can’t hear you!”
And this provocative action, This immediately angered the Anfield fans!
In an instant, the entire stadium erupted into astonishing boos,
and all of these boos were given to this smiling black-haired young man.
However, Ling Feng didn't care at all.
However, after the celebration, the referee Anthony Taylor also found him:
"This is the first time to warn you not to do this kind of provocative behavior on the field. Otherwise, I will punish you!”
As a thug from the Football Association, referee Anthony Taylor naturally feels that the more exciting and exciting the game is, the better!
However, as the referee who controlled the scene, he still gave Ling Feng a verbal warning, telling him not to be too arrogant
“Although it is at Anfield, Manchester United’s goal is worth it. Faster than expected!”
“The goal was theirs”
“This is Ling Feng’s seventh goal in the league, tying him with teammate Ibrahi. Mović, tied for the top scorer list in the league.”
"This shows how outstanding Manchester United's offensive firepower is this season!"
"Next, with a goal in hand, the Red Devils will definitely continue to set up a bus in their backcourt."
“Let’s see how Liverpool responds.”
After taking the lead, Mourinho also waved his hand and continued to implement defensive counterattack tactics.
Liverpool, which was lagging behind at home, also stepped up its offense.
Especially the frequency with which Mane takes the ball on the right side and performs single-point blasts!
Facing the explosive body of Mane, Luke Shaw did not lag behind in terms of physical confrontation.
However, in terms of experience, he is still a little green.
In addition, this Liverpool is no longer the same Liverpool as last season
When the game came to the 33rd minute, Liverpool's attack was concentrated on the left, Manchester United's The defensive formation also attracted attention.
Then, Coutinho, who had the ball on the left, suddenly cut inside and immediately sent a long pass at a 45-degree angle, hitting Sturridge and Firmino at the far end. Mane creates more space one on one with Luke Shaw.
Mane did not hesitate, making soup from the outside, and then passed the ball across the middle!
For a time, the restricted area was in chaos.
De Gea did not dare to attack, and the defender did not dare to touch him for fear of scoring an own goal.
In the end, Coutinho, who let the ball pass through and came to the right back Valencia at some point, suddenly stretched out his foot and gave a gentle push!
The ball went into the goal from De Gea's feet!
The next second, Anfield let everyone see what the devil's home court is!
The deafening cheers soared into the sky!
The stands suddenly turned into a swaying sea of red, jubilant and exciting.
Mourinho was not too surprised when Liverpool equalized the score so quickly.
He just came to the sidelines, pressed his hands down, and shouted to the disciples on the court:
"It doesn't matter! Calm down!"
"We play our own game That’s it!”
“If you can get into the first one, you can get into the second one!”
In this regard, the Manchester United generals also had a calm mind and did not feel much disappointment or frustration.
After all, this is an away game.
And it is also the most difficult Anfield to play in the Premier League!
It is worth mentioning that after equalizing the score, Emre Zhan did not forget to come to Ling Feng and raised his eyebrows provocatively.
Ling Feng is a little confused.
"This kid didn't score this goal, nor was he an assist. What's there to be proud of?"
With the equalizer, Liverpool's morale suddenly rose a lot.
With Manchester United taking the initiative to give up possession of the ball, Liverpool formed a continuous wave of attacks.
When the game came to the 42nd minute, Liverpool once again attacked with the ball.
Emre Can dribbled the ball along the center, and Herrera took the lead in pressing forward.
The former serves as the promoter of Liverpool's midfield and is very confident in his skills with his feet.
I saw him pause with his feet and make a feint of his upper body, which deceived Herrera to shift his body center of gravity slightly.
However, just when he was about to break through from the left, he heard the exclamation from his teammates behind him:
"Emre!"
“Careful!”
"Behind me!"
The next second, a blue figure rushed past from behind him!
Then,
What? !
Before Zhan could react, a blue figure made a sideways sliding tackle, and just used his toes to poke the ball from Emre Zhan's feet to Herrera!
Then, get up quickly and run forward!
At this time, Emre Zhan, who had just turned around, discovered that the number seven was printed on the back of the blue figure!
Ling Feng, who was rushing forward, even had time to look back and give the defeated player who had made such nonsense before the game that he wanted to freeze his subordinates a look of contempt.
“Manchester United completed the steal!”
“Herrera holds the ball!”
The moment he switched from defense to offense, Herrera didn't hesitate at all and sent the ball directly in front of Ling Feng.
Catching up with the ball in one stride, and then using the momentum to make soup past Henderson, who was rushing towards him, and also dodged Henderson's outstretched hand. Ling Feng, dressed in blue, was like a waving The knight with the long sword rushed into the red Liverpool camp!
Seeing Ibrahimovic involving the central defender's defense for him, he did not continue to advance with the ball. Instead, he looked at Karius in front of the Liverpool goal and decisively kicked off the shot!
Entering the shooting range, still not shooting?
When can we wait?
Bang!
This shot was infused with the power of "God of War" Batistuta, and also infused Ling Feng's determination to win the game!
The shot ball has a violent beauty that does not care about the opponent's life or death, and it hits Liverpool's goal mercilessly!
Even though Karius reacted quickly, he sank in advance and was ready to fly to save.
However, coming to the Premier League for the first time and seeing Ling Feng’s super long-range shot made Karius subconsciously curse in his heart:
Am I crazy? !
In just one breath, the ball is right in front of you!
He didn't even have time to react. There was a "swish" sound in his ears, and the ball got into the net, splashing a layer of white waves!
The next second, thousands of visiting team fans once again burst into amazing cheers.
The tens of thousands of home team fans were silent, allowing Manchester United to celebrate wantonly on their own territory
"Incredible shot!"
"Super~~~long shot!"
"Ling Feng scored twice! Taking the lead again!"
>Standing on the goal line, Karius stiffly turned his head to look at the ball wrapped in the net. His handsome face was filled with astonishment.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his heart was filled with turmoil:
Is this a shot a human can make? !
Brother, are you Carlos or Batistuta? !
Although the head coach and teammates reminded him solemnly before the game, the long-range shot of the Manchester United No. 7 was very sharp.
Karius didn’t quite believe it at first.
However, after watching the highlights and videos of Ling Feng's long-range shots, he put away his doubts.
However, there is still a huge difference between the video and reality.
When watching the video, he still had the feeling that "if the goalkeeper was me, I should be able to save."
However, when facing Ling Feng's heavy artillery bombardment, Karius felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
The ball is so fast, even if Buffon, Cassie and Neuer come, they can't catch it!
He was already ready. During the intermission, he immediately posted a message online to ask:
What should a Premier League goalkeeper do if he encounters a monster whose long shot almost goes through the net?
Waiting online, it’s urgent!
. . .
Sideside.
Seeing his team's goal penetrated by Ling Feng again, Klopp just curled his lips and spread his hands helplessly.
He has coached talents like Gotze, Reus, and Shaheen, as well as super shooters such as Lewandowski and Aubameyang.
However, no one can fire at any time thirty meters away like Ling Feng!
And every shot can hit such an unstoppable super long shot!
Compared with Klopp's helplessness, Mourinho, sitting on the coaching bench, smiled evilly and did not even get up to celebrate.
It is in sharp contrast to the scene of the coaching staff hugging and celebrating excitedly.
This scene was also accurately captured by live broadcast footage.
Famous and handsome style!
Nothing more than that!
At the same time, Ling Feng, who scored again, rushed straight to the KOP stands where die-hard Liverpool fans were, and then did something that everyone expected:
I saw him raise a finger and put it on his lips, then raised his head and faced the home team fans in the stands with a cold face.
Those black eyes were cold, domineering, and arrogant!
That look seems to be saying:
Anfield, shut up!
