Eight Hundred and Ninety First Old Wine in New Bottles

Counting from 2010, Situ Yunbing and Mourinho have been competing in the top European football arenas for six years.

It can be said that they are the most familiar opponents to each other.

This time Mourinho served as the Manchester United coach, giving Situ Yunbing the feeling that he was eager to prove his salvation by silently counterattacking after Chelsea's frustration.

According to the standards of his previous coaching teams, he landed in the top league to coach Chelsea, went to Inter Milan, then went to Real Madrid, and entered Chelsea for the second time.

It is enough to see how hard the collapse at Chelsea last season has hit him. Even if he makes a slight concession in principle, he has to prove himself as soon as possible.

Liverpool sits at home against Manchester United, and Mourinho's team is almost carved out of the same mold.

The backcourt is tightly defended, the midfielder guards the key defense area and never advances rashly, the winger has speed, and the center forward can respond.

From Drogba, Milito, Benzema, to Diego Costa, now Ibrahimovic, Robben, Eto'o, Ronaldo, Hazard, and now Rashford.

His team has given people a feeling: old wine in new bottles, or the same taste.

After the start of the game, Manchester United made an extreme anti-reverse posture. Even Pogba was active in the area between the front of the penalty area and the middle circle. Manchester United's offense relied on Rashford on the left, Ashley Young on the right, and Ibrahimovic on the front line. Most of the time, Ashley Young will retreat to the backcourt to participate in the defense, so Ibrahimovic and Rashford are seen more in the frontcourt.

Mourinho is still Mourinho. It is undeniable that the team he coaches is indeed perfectly imprinted with his style, but the ever-changing European football world, his style has already made many people feel tired. People who did not like him in the past naturally have more reason to criticize him.

Although Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and watched the game seriously, the relatively conservative scene did make him feel helpless towards Mourinho.

He doesn't expect Mourinho to open the door and let his team bombard wantonly, but at least some unexpected or novel changes will excite him.

But it is because of the six-year confrontation history that Situ Yunbing is already familiar with Mourinho's technical and tactical style and on-the-spot command characteristics. If Mourinho does not make changes, then it means that Situ Yunbing will basically not be caught off guard psychologically. Just from the situation, Liverpool naturally did a good job of restricting Manchester United.

In contrast, Mourinho is also very familiar with Situ Yunbing, but his skills and tactics are relatively passive, so he can only be beaten first. From the perspective of fault tolerance, Liverpool has a slight advantage.

In the 7th minute of the game, Liverpool played a wonderful fast break in the frontcourt. After receiving Lewandowski's return pass, Eriksson sent the ball over the top and sent the ball to the bottom line on the right outside the penalty area. Mbappe moved forward to get rid of Blind.

Azpilicueta sent a cross again, and the football flew to the deep area behind the penalty area.

After Sane cut inside, he was attacked by Valencia and Bailey. After the ball was stopped and the pass was sent, Bailey shoveled the ball out of the bottom line at the critical moment!

All the fans were amazed!

The Red Devils fans were very upset.

It is also because of the recent poor performance of Manchester United.

Five minutes later, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt. Pogba tried to dribble forward after collaborating with Herrera at the front of the penalty area, but saw Casemiro in front of him, so he decisively passed the ball diagonally to the wing to find Rashford.

Even though Pogba shines in Serie A, the overall level of Serie A is really far behind the Premier League. Moreover, today he is facing a European football king like Liverpool. It is not easy to beat Casemiro on offense and defense, and there is Kanter behind him!

In order not to let his horse stumble, he simply played the ball early.

Rashford took a look at Ibrahimovic's position while advancing the ball from the left. During the offensive and defensive confrontation with Azpilicueta, Rashford wanted to break through but was entangled by the opponent. He barely protected the ball and retreated to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic.

In terms of rhythm, Manchester United's counterattack advantage has disappeared. Ibrahimovic was confronted by Koulibaly when he was in possession of the ball.

In the 20th minute of the game, Liverpool finally formed a threatening attack in the frontcourt. Sane quickly dribbled across Valencia from the left side of the frontcourt, and then passed the ball obliquely to the middle of the penalty area in front of Pogba. Lewandowski knocked the ball back.

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. At the critical moment, De Gea made a deep and horizontal pounce and bravely saved the ball to the bottom line!

"De Gea! See De Gea's world-class saves again at a critical moment!

Manchester United's tight defense could not limit Liverpool's flexible offense. When Fellaini was still turning around, Eriksson had already kicked and shot!

The ball was threatening enough. If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful save, Manchester United's goal would have fallen!

Today, Manchester United focused on defensive counterattack at Anfield, but so far, we have not seen their counterattack threat! "

When Liverpool gradually adapted to Manchester United's counterattack rhythm, they did not find much threat, so they began to speed up their offense!

In the 25th minute of the game, Sane was surrounded by many Manchester United players in the attack on the left side of the front court, Ashley Young, Valencia, and Pogba who helped defend the wing!

Manchester United obviously defended very tightly in the backcourt!

But Sane was bold and kept a certain distance from the three defenders. When the siege was about to push him into a desperate situation, Sane deftly knocked the ball back diagonally to Casemiro. At the same time, Robertson went around the outside line and made a quick bottom!

Casemiro sent an over-the-top through ball again, and Robertson counter-offside successfully played an offensive depth advantage on the wing!

After a stop and a trip, he changed direction and crossed the penalty area. Robertson's impact shocked the Manchester United defense. Bailey rushed towards him quickly, while Fellaini covered the penalty area, and Herrera blocked Eriksson at the front of the penalty area!

Robertson flicked the ball towards the baseline when Bailey was in front of him, swung it out of the angle and made a quick pass!

Mbappe quickly outflanked the pass with his foot on the ground, and De Gea made a kick at the critical moment to clear the ball!

"De Gea! It was De Gea who resolved the danger of Manchester United's defense!

Liverpool's offensive speed-up effect is remarkable, and Manchester United is beginning to be a little overwhelmed! "

Although the football that was cleared was diverted to the side by Ibrahimovic's header at the back of the center circle, because he was interfered by Benatia's confrontation, the angle of the football flying was a bit off, and the ball was directly intercepted by Azpilicueta.

Rashford was very successful restricted by Azpilicueta today. The British emperor star who turned out last season seems to have lost his magical aura this season. At the same time, due to Martial's insufficient contribution to defense, the number of opportunities Martial got has also declined significantly.

Such a way of employing people is in line with Mourinho's consistent style.

Regardless of the offensive ability, it is absolutely useless if the defense is not good.

After stealing the ball, Azpilicueta quickly launched a fast break forward, and he waded the ball almost unimpeded to the dangerous zone of the frontcourt attack.

A 45-degree cross from the wing!

Lewandowski competed for a header in the middle of the penalty area, but Smalling took the lead to make a header!

When the cleared football just flew into the middle of Manchester United's backcourt, Casemiro easily controlled the ball and launched a fast break!

Eriksson responded with his back under the attack of Fellaini and Herrera, which caught all Manchester United defenders off guard and knocked the ball to the left rib of the penalty area with his left foot!

Bailey, who performed well in today's game, felt belatedly at this moment. He was about to complete his turn to chase the football rolling behind him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Sane was already parallel to him!

Suddenly cold sweat came out!

really!

When he fully turned around and accelerated, Sane had already cut inward and swayed the ball to his front, which made him have no chance to complete the steal!

Everyone saw that Sane completed the anti-offside plus crosscut to form a single knife!

De Gea attacked in a hurry, but he didn't expect Sane to volley decisively!

De Gea flew to save subconsciously, but the speed of the ball was too fast. Before he fully stretched his body, the football had already rushed into the upper right corner of the goal!

Earth-shattering cheers erupted from Anfield Stadium!

Sane roared passionately and rushed to celebrate!

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, expressionless.

It seems that losing a goal against Liverpool is nothing new, and it is also something that has been expected.

What makes him feel uncomfortable is that Manchester United can't make a threat in the counterattack!

Compared with last season, Liverpool's style of play has undergone some changes. They are not as wild as beasts biting their opponents like in the past, but they have become more ruthless!

"Sane volleys past Manchester United!

De Gea is powerless this time!

Liverpool played a wonderful cooperation beyond imagination. After consecutive attacks, Eriksson sent a wonderful through ball with a dragon wagging his tail!

Sane seized the opportunity to make a strong inward cut, and then crossed the ball to the middle of the goal. De Gea abandoned the goal, but Sane was more decisive!

He volleyed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!

No goalkeeper can block this kind of ball, not even De Gea!

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the English derby, they now lead Manchester United 1:0!

Maybe we will be a little disappointed looking at Manchester United now, but I believe Mourinho will not sit still! "
