Four Hundred and Fifty-Five England Derby!

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

The uproar was deafening.

"Good afternoon, audience friends, welcome to the fifth round of the new Premier League season, a world-focused match!

The Red Army Liverpool sits at Anfield at home against the Red Devils Manchester United, and the two teams will stage an English derby!

Before the game, the coaches of the two teams chatted for a long time on the sidelines. I don’t know what common topics Ferguson and Situ Yunbing will have. They once had a confrontation in the UEFA Champions League knockout round in the 2009-2010 season. At that time, Situ Yunbing led Monaco to eliminate Manchester United, and now, the two have become rivals at the club level!

Hehe, judging by the appearance of the two coaches now, there is probably nothing to talk about.

In the first four rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool performed amazingly. It can be said that the team has completed the transformation under the coach of Situ Yunbing. They not only defeated Arsenal, but also scored three points against the defending champion Manchester City.

Manchester United suffered a bad start in the first round of the league, but then won three consecutive victories, and their state quickly recovered, especially their new aid Robin van Persie has scored 4 goals, which is full of firepower.

But Liverpool is obviously more surprising in terms of offensive firepower. The combination of Suarez and Gareth Bale plus Gerrard, Liverpool scored 12 goals in the first 4 rounds of the league, with an average of 12 goals per game. 3!

Let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

Liverpool starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Benatia, Enrique.

Midfield: Lucas, Gerrard, Casemiro, Eriksen.

Forwards: Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Manchester United starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.

Midfielder: Valencia,

Carrick, Shinji Kagawa, Giggs, Nani.

Forward: Van Persie.

Rooney's absence has damaged Manchester United's strength. Manchester United's offensive hopes today will be pinned on Van Persie!

Well, the starting lineups of the two teams have been introduced, let us enjoy this England derby together! "

Manchester United's biggest reinforcement in the summer is in the two positions of goalkeeper and striker. It is not that Situ Yunbing did not think about bringing De Gea to Liverpool at the time, but the problem is that the salary system and De Gea himself would like to join a team. The team that competed in the Champions League, so Situ Yunbing did not fight for it in the end.

In the contract year, Van Persie can still transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United at a price close to 30 million pounds, all because of his super performance in Arsenal last season. The top three are firmly in the top three, and the remaining two are Suarez and Aguero. As for who is first, second, or third, let's talk about the data and achievements at the end of the season.

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

Liverpool quickly started to push forward from the center after the opening, and Casemiro passed the ball diagonally to Gerrard's feet from behind the center circle.

Facing Ryan Giggs, who played a guest role in the midfielder today, Gerrard quickly completed a wall-to-wall cooperation with Suarez.

When he hit the front of the penalty area, Manchester United's defense contracted in the backcourt, but Gerrard knocked the ball back diagonally to Eriksson who came up from the midfield left.

The Danish midfielder stopped and continued to charge forward. Shinji Kagawa and Valencia flanked him, and Eriksson quickly sent the ball to the left.

Gareth Bell pushed forward after leading the ball. When facing Rafael, he almost ignored the opponent's existence, forced acceleration and physical confrontation to make a breakthrough!

Rafael tried to seize Gareth Bale's position but failed. Instead, he was hit and staggered and almost lost his center of gravity.

Gareth Bell didn't sloppy after hitting the ball from the wing to gain the advantage of offensive depth, and directly slammed the ball vigorously to the front of the goal!

It was too late for Ferdinand to return to defense and intercept. Suarez outflanked the middle and was about to succeed in grabbing a spot. De Gea attacked first and confiscated the ball!

"Whoa! It was a weird scene, Gareth Bale crossing, Suarez outflanking it, and then De Gea deflected it.

Two years ago, the three were still playing for the same team. Last season, De Gea and Gareth Bale were teammates. Now the three are reunited in the Premier League. Watching this game will definitely bring tears to my eyes. "

De Gea immediately launched a fast break. He threw the ball to the left. When Evra moved the ball forward from the left, Gerrard quickly helped defend the side to chase him. Evra was near the center line. Pass the ball straight ahead.

After Nani led the ball from the wing, he continued to push forward. Seeing that Lucas and Johnson were attacking him, he immediately hit the ball across the middle.

Casemiro prepares to make a pressing tackle on Shinji Kagawa, who was second only to Kevin De Bruyne among midfielders in the Bundesliga last season, pokes the ball forward quickly and the ball rolls to Van Persie's feet .

Van Persie, who pulled the ball and turned around, shot without waiting for Skrtel to grab his foot!

The football flew straight to the center of the goal like a cannonball, and at the lower right angle, Ter Stegen swooped and barely threw the ball away with a single palm!

call!

Red Devils fans are amazed!

"Van Persie's shot almost changed the score!

The Dutch striker is now a shooting threat as soon as he has the ball! "

On the sidelines, Situ Yunbing made serious gestures to the players on the back line, asking them to strengthen their close pressing on the opponent!

It is no exaggeration to say that Van Persie, one of the four talents in the Netherlands, did not grow smoothly in Arsenal in the first few years, mainly due to injuries affecting his state, and his talent is not like Robben, van der Vaart They stand out so much.

He can have today, thanks to a master, and that person is now sitting on the Liverpool coaching bench: Moniz.

Moniz taught Van Persie privately for more than four years. Even after Van Persie moved to Arsenal, he took time to go back to the Netherlands every week to receive Moniz's teaching.

It can be said that Van Persie was trained.

After entering the peak period of his career, Van Persie has both experience and great achievements in shooting!

He was able to shoot in various ways from within 35 yards of the goal and score!

Grab points, long shots, headers, volleys, you name it!

It is the success of his shooting skills 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 excel, he just needs to shoot.

Therefore, for Van Persie, Liverpool's defense must contain his room for movement and not give him a chance to kick!

The main idea in Manchester United's offense is that it is enough to hand over the ball to Van Persie.

Liverpool's offense still relies more on Gareth Bale on the left to tear apart the opponent's defense and create opportunities.

In the 5th minute of the game, Gareth Bale was forced by Valencia and Rafael as soon as he stopped the ball on the left side of the front court. Immediately after that, he advanced forward, driving Rafael and Valencia back to defense.

At this time, Eriksson encountered Carrick's frontal interception, and he passed the ball obliquely to the middle of the penalty area.

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

Suarez made a quick move and slanted into the open space behind Evans.

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

Evans turned around and couldn't defend Suarez, especially Suarez volleyed directly against the falling football!

Suarez, who deliberately suppressed the angle and shot the ball to the far corner of the goal, watched in disbelief as De Gea made a save in the middle of his attack to block the ball!

"De Gea miraculously deflects Suarez's threatening shot!

This ball is entirely about reflexes, and De Gea did it!

He showed his strength and made his worth!

This is exactly the successor of Van der Sar that Ferguson hopes to get! "

Suarez glanced at De Gea, and the latter also looked at him. There was a tacit meaning in the eyes of the two. From Ligue 1 to the Premier League, old friends reunited, the only pity is that each is the master!

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Enrique transferred the ball to the center from the outside, Casemiro tried a long shot, but it was a bit outrageous!

In the 8th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked from the right side of the frontcourt. Valencia responded to Giggs' backcourt with precise transfer and quickly moved forward. Enrique made another pass, and Van Persie followed up in the middle, but Benatia blocked the ball first.

Manchester United's offensive speed is definitely sufficient. Manchester United under Ferguson may have weaknesses in one way or another, but the offensive speed and the cooperation of the team's three passes and two downs are definitely the pinnacle.

When Gerrard controlled the ball in the middle circle, Eriksson quickly moved forward. He and Gerrard joined forces to push the offensive. In fact, today they found that Manchester United's midfield defense is very weak!

This has been a chronic illness that the outside world has criticized Manchester United for many seasons!

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

So Scholes came back after retiring, and Ferguson introduced Shinji Kagawa this summer.

But still not enough!

When Gerrard and Eriksson advanced quickly, Giggs and Carrick could not contain their impact in the zone defense.

This time it was replaced by Eriksson, and Gerrard sent him shells.

When Eriksson picked the ball from the front of the penalty area to the left side of the penalty area, Manchester United's defense was caught off guard and passive.

Gareth Bale's galloping inside cut is always an unstoppable threat for all teams in the Premier League!

This time he swept the ball in front of the goal before the bottom line of the penalty area. Suarez was interfered by Evra's quick return to the defense in the forward rush. With De Gea's attack, his shot directly hit Germany. Gea's body pops out!

Suarez raised his hand to Gareth Bale slightly annoyed.

The Anfield Red Army fans were obviously disappointed, but they still applauded the team's performance!
