Chapter 455

The battle at Anfield is imminent, and the starting players of the two teams enter the stadium with their heads held high.

The noise at the scene was deafening.

"Good afternoon, audience friends. Welcome to the fifth round of the Premier League in the new season, a focus event of global attention!

The Reds will play Manchester United at Anfield and the two teams will play an English Derby!

Before the game, the managers of the two teams chatted on the sidelines for a long time. I don't know what common topics Ferguson and situ Yunbing will have. They once met in the Champions League knockout in 2009-2010. At that time, situ Yunbing led Monaco to eliminate Manchester United. Now, they have become sworn enemies from the club level!

Hehe, looking at the appearance of the two managers now, there is probably nothing to talk about.

In the first four rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool performed surprisingly. It can be said that the team completed transformation under the guidance of situ Yunbing. They not only beat Arsenal, but also scored three points on defending champion Manchester City.

Manchester United suffered a black door in the first round of the league, but then achieved three consecutive victories, and the state is also quickly back to courage. In particular, their new aid van Persie has scored four goals, which can be described as full of firepower.

But Liverpool are obviously more surprising in offensive firepower. The combination of Suarez and Gareth bell, coupled with Steven Gerrard, Liverpool scored 12 goals in the first four rounds of the league, averaging 3 goals per game!

Let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

Liverpool started 442

Goalkeeper: telstegen.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Skrtel, benatia, Enrique.

Midfield: Lucas, Gerrard, Casimiro, Eriksson.

Forwards: Suarez, Gareth bell.

Manchester United start 4231

Goalkeeper: de gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.

Midfield: Valencia, Carrick, Shinji Kagawa, Giggs, Nani.

Striker: Van Persie.

Rooney's absence has damaged Manchester United's strength. Manchester United's attack hope today will rest on van Persie!

Well, the starting lineup of the two teams has been introduced. Next, let's enjoy the English Derby! "

Manchester United's biggest reinforcement in the summer was in the two positions of goalkeeper and striker. Situ Yunbing didn't think about bringing de GEA to Liverpool at that time, but the problem was that considering the salary system and de GEA himself, he wanted to join a team in the Champions League, so situ Yunbing didn't fight for it in the end.

In his contract year, van Persie can still transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United at a price of nearly 30 million pounds, which is due to his super performance at Arsenal last season. It can be said that if the Premier League is ranked in the front line, van Persie will definitely be in the top three. The remaining two are Suarez and Aguero. Who is the first, second or third, Then it's time to look at the data and achievements at the end of the season.

In the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the game kicked off!

Liverpool quickly pushed forward from the middle after the opening, and Camero sent the ball obliquely to Gerrard's feet behind the middle circle.

Gerrard faced Giggs, who played a guest role in midfield scheduling today, and quickly completed the wall cooperation with Suarez.

When he reached the front of the restricted area, the United defence shrank in the back, but Gerrard hit the ball obliquely back to Eriksson who inserted an assist from the left side of midfield.

The Danish midfield continued to move forward, with Shinji Xiangchuan and Valencia attacking him, and Eriksson quickly took the ball to the left.

Gareth bell pushed forward after taking the ball. When facing Rafael, he almost ignored the existence of the other party, forced acceleration and physical confrontation to make a breakthrough!

Rafael tried to seize Gareth Bell's position, but failed. On the contrary, he was staggered and nearly lost his center of gravity.

Gareth bell did not procrastinate after hitting the advantage of offensive depth on the side, and directly drew the ball in front of the goal!

It was too late for Ferdinand to defend and intercept. Suarez was about to succeed in the middle of the attack. De GEA took the lead and confiscated the ball!

"Wow! This scene makes people feel a little strange. Gareth Bell's Cross, Suarez encircled, and then de GEA resolved the danger.

Two years ago, the three were still playing in the same team. Last season, de GEA and Gareth bell were teammates. Now the three are reunited in the Premier League. If benatia is included, ha ha, I think Monaco fans will burst into tears if they watch this game. "

De GEA immediately launched a fast attack. He threw the ball to the left. When Evra crossed the ball on the left and pushed forward, Gerrard quickly helped the side to chase him. Evra passed the ball straight ahead when he was close to the middle line.

Nani continued to push forward after receiving the ball from the side. Seeing Lucas and Johnson attack him, he immediately hit the ball horizontally in the middle.

Camero is ready to press and steal Shinji Kagawa. Among the midfielders in the Bundesliga last season, Shinji Kagawa, second only to de Brauner, quickly stabbed the ball forward and the football rolled to van Persie's feet.

Van Persie, who turned the ball, did not wait for Skrtel to grab his foot and shoot!

The ball flew straight to the lower right in the middle of the goal like a shell, and telstegen threw himself at the ball with one palm!

Hoo!

Red Devils fans marvel!

"Van Persie's shot almost rewritten the score!

The Dutch striker can now create a shooting threat as long as he takes the ball! "

Situ Yunbing made serious gestures to the players facing the back line at the scene, asking them to strengthen their close pressure on their opponents!

It is no exaggeration to say that as one of the four talents of the Netherlands, van Persie did not grow smoothly in his first few years at Arsenal, mainly because his injuries affected his state, and his talent was not as outstanding as Robben and van der Vaart.

He is today thanks to a master who is now sitting on the Liverpool coaching bench: Moniz.

Moniz has privately taught van Persie for more than four years. Even after van Persie's transfer to Arsenal, he takes time to return to the Netherlands every week to receive Moniz's teaching.

It can be said that van Persie was trained.

After entering the peak of his career, van Persie has both experience and great success in shooting!

He can shoot in various ways within 35 yards in front of the goal and score goals!

Grab points, long-range shot, header, volley, all right!

It is the success of shooting that makes him one of the top strikers in European football. As long as there is no injury, his threat is very intuitive.

Because he doesn't need to pass, just shoot.

So for van Persie, Liverpool's defense must contain his space and not give him a chance to start!

The main idea of Manchester United's attack is to give the ball to van Persie.

Liverpool's attack depends more on Gareth bell on the left to tear open the opponent's defense and create opportunities.

In the fifth minute of the game, Gareth bell was forced by Valencia and Rafael as soon as he stopped the ball on the left in the front court. At this time, he knocked the ball back obliquely to Eriksson, and immediately inserted it forward after the ball, driving Rafael and Valencia back to defense.

At this time, Eriksson encountered Carrick's frontal interception, and he skewed the ball to the front and middle of the restricted area.

Gerrard got rid of Giggs in a strong oblique insertion and faced Ferdinand and Evans in the front and middle of the penalty area. Gerrard picked the ball to the right rib of the penalty area!

Suarez ran astute and oblique into the empty area behind Evans.

Evra immediately recovered in the restricted area, but it was too late!

Evans turned and couldn't defend Suarez, especially Suarez shot directly from the air against the falling football!

Suarez, who deliberately pressed down the angle and shot the ball at the far corner of the goal, looked at De GEA's rescue action in the middle of the attack to block the ball!

"De GEA magically defused the threat of Suarez!

This ball is all about reaction. De GEA did it!

He showed his strength and his worth!

This is exactly what Ferguson wants to be the successor of Edwin van der Sar! "

Suarez looked at De GEA, who also looked at him. There was a tacit understanding in their eyes. From the French League to the Premier League, their old friends met again. The only pity is that they are their own masters!

Liverpool opened a tactical corner, Enrique transferred the ball to the middle from the periphery, and Camero tried a long-range shot, but it was a little outrageous!

In the 8th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked on the right in the front court. Valencia received Giggs' accurate transfer and fast forward insertion in the back court. After receiving the ball, he cooperated with Shinji Kagawa to pass and cut off Eriksson, and then went down all the way to break through Enrique and cross. Van Persie followed up in the middle. Unfortunately, benatia blocked the ball first.

Manchester United's offensive speed is absolutely sufficient. Manchester United under Ferguson may have one weakness or another, but the cooperation of three passes and two falls in the group is absolutely the highest level.

When Gerrard controlled the ball in the middle circle, Eriksson quickly pushed forward. He and Gerrard jointly pushed the attack. In fact, today they found that Manchester United's midfield defense is very weak!

This has been the persistent disease of Manchester United for many seasons!

The hardness of midfield defense is not enough, and the creativity of midfield organization is not enough!

So with Scholes coming back after his retirement, and Ferguson's introduction of Shinji Kagawa this summer.

But not enough!

When Gerrard and Eriksson pushed forward quickly, Giggs and Carrick could not contain their impact in joint defense.

This time it was Eriksson who pushed in and Gerrard delivered shells to him.

When Eriksson picked the ball to the left flank of the penalty area at the front of the penalty area, the Manchester United defence was unprepared and passive.

Gareth bell galloped and cut inside, which has always been an irresistible threat to all teams in the Premier League!

This time, he swept the ball across the front area in front of the bottom line of the restricted area. Suarez was disturbed by Evra's quick return defense in the front insertion and snatching point. Coupled with de GEA's attack, his shot directly hit de GEA and ejected!

Suarez raised his hand to Gareth bell with a little annoyance.

Anfield Reds fans were obviously disappointed, but they applauded the team's performance!
