Chapter 874: The Red Army’s Double-Edged Sword, the Red Devils’ Offensive Is Dazzling!

Chapter 874 The Red Army’s double-edged sword, the Red Devils’ dazzling offensive!

Ye Yifeng and Liverpool have played against each other for the fourth consecutive season.

After defeating Karius in the Champions League knockout round in the first half of 2018, the Liverpool defense he faced this time was undoubtedly the weakest.

Henderson and Fabinho probably expected to be subjected to crazy output by Ye Yifeng's cool operation.

If the condition is not good, or if teammates cannot keep up with the pace of reinforcements, then they will definitely suffer from autism and never want to play as a central defender again.

But Ye Yifeng played very delicate teamwork with his Manchester United teammates today.

Carrick's little tactic of stars holding the moon was not difficult to implement.

On a psychological level, no one among my teammates dared to say no.

Ye Yifeng, who has been popular in the Premier League for three years, is qualified to be the core player wherever he goes.

They don't even doubt that if Ye Yifeng goes to Manchester City or Liverpool, Guardiola and Klopp will personally design supporting tactics for him. He is the absolute core.

His performance on the field actually makes the coach's thinking simpler.

As long as he can exert 100% of his strength, then the offensive threat will be full. Whether he can win does not entirely depend on the offense, but at least if he cannot win, the problem will not be on the offensive end.

That's Carrick's thinking.

In fact, Mourinho planned to do this before, but because he paid more attention to preventing counterattacks, there was no need to do extra operations.

Ye Yifeng is already on the front line of the counterattack. The counterattack team is not a scene of thousands of horses galloping. There are only a few people coming and going. Ye Yifeng's role will not be small.

But now Manchester United advocates more active pressure, and even plans to do this when playing against strong teams. At least it is not like the old days where the whole team huddled within 40 yards in front of the goal and waited for the track and field team to play its role.

Therefore, it is necessary to restructure the primary and secondary relationships and hierarchical systems on the offensive end.

The reason why Liverpool suppressed the pace and passed the ball more was because they did not want to give Manchester United more offensive opportunities.

After Manchester United got better at Anfield, they began to strengthen their counterattacks and sweeps, forcing Liverpool to speed up their attack.

It would be a bit risky, but at least they would be trying to compete with Liverpool for dominance of the game.

In a tactic that focuses on offense, the dominance of the game will be very important. Even if the score is behind, as long as the dominance is in your own hands, there is still hope for everything.

For example, Bielsa's total offense and total defense tactics are not afraid of losing the ball. As long as the rhythm suppresses the opponent, the scoring time is measured in seconds.

This is exactly the opposite of defensive counterattack;

The team that defends against counter-attacks does not need dominance, scenes, or even too many offensive opportunities.

But the bottom line is you can't concede the ball first.

Once the ball is lost first, it is very difficult to get it back.

Because they have no control over the game.

In the 19th minute of the game, Manchester United pressed hard and forced Liverpool to launch a fast break.

Robertson and Mane cooperated on the left to penetrate Wan-Bissaka's defense. Robertson passed the ball into the penalty area and passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area in an inverted triangle position close to the baseline.

Firmino was restrained in the middle, and Salah crossed behind him.

He stopped and was about to take a shot, but saw Maguire, so he changed his mind and took a step towards the left rib, shaking the shooting angle before taking a shot.

De Gea blocked the near corner of the goal and blocked the ball from the baseline.

It's not a particularly exciting save, and the position selection is no problem. Salah himself narrowed the shooting angle and failed to shoot the ball to the far corner.

Klopp's face was as heavy as water on the sidelines.

When will this trident return to its peak form? !

Liverpool has been winless in the last three rounds, and its defense has not conceded too many goals, conceding only one goal in consecutive games.

To say the least, the problem with offense is bigger.

There is no problem with the system, but the style of play is still the same.

Individual soldiers advance forward, the strikers cooperate, and the wings instigate.

What is in question is the state of the Trident.

state?

Klopp turned his attention to Ye Yifeng on the court again.

That guy never seems to have any problems with his condition.

It is no longer news that superstars are in strong form and have great staying power.

Melo has redefined the top status of players in years!

Ye Yifeng's long-lasting status is related to entering the peak period of his competitive career, but it is not without fluctuations.

But he has cheats.

As long as the old wall hanging is opened and the performance is not too bad, the status can be improved.

This is his unique secret recipe. Even if he shares it with the whole world, no one else can learn it.

As for Lin Huang's obsession with drinking tea, he must have contributed to China's tea export trade.

It is still difficult for Manchester United to seize dominance from Liverpool at Anfield.

Thiago already has the ability to control the field, and with Henderson trailing behind the back line, Liverpool can do whatever they want.

It's just that Liverpool can't press the pace too hard due to their appearance and the 11-point gap in the standings.

If you don't create more opportunities for the sluggish forwards, why are you confident that they can get pregnant with one kick?

Manchester United did not set up a bus, but it did not give Liverpool an excellent counterattack and fast break environment.

In the 28th minute of the game, when Salah dribbled in from the right side of the frontcourt and tried to cooperate with Firmino, Manchester United tightened the defense and Lindelof intercepted head-on. Salah changed direction to accelerate from the horse. Quill made a head-on breakthrough and the ball passed. Before anyone could pass, Fred retreated to cover and intercepted the ball.

Salah looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he was just one step away from having a perfect shot opportunity.

Manchester United launched a fast break.

Ye Yifeng came to the right side of the frontcourt to assist.

Rashford took the lead and knocked the ball back diagonally.

Ye Yifeng continued to dribble to the right, and Robertson retreated to defend Rashford.

Ye Yifeng dribbled from the back row to follow up, while Pogba took the initiative to move from the side and behind to provide support at any time.

When Wijnaldum was helping to defend the wing, Ye Yifeng suddenly stopped to pull the ball and turned around. Wijnaldum did not dare to attack for fear of losing his defensive position.

Ye Yifeng passed the ball back to the center.

Pogba looked back, and McTominay followed up and shifted the offensive.

The football rolled to the feet of Martial on the left.

Ye Yifeng started to move in and cut in, while Martial was dribbling in from the left when he was flanked by Arnold and Thiago. He took the lead and knocked the ball across the middle.

Pogba immediately passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Henderson's positional sense when playing central defender is still a bit poor.

When the football flew over his head, he realized that there was something wrong with his positioning and reaction.

Ye Yifeng cut inside and Rashford interfered with Robertson. He stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed into the far corner of the goal.

I thought this goal would definitely be scored.

The paradox is that Alisson flew to save and touched the football with his right hand immediately.

It's like bullet against bullet effect!

The football changed and flew behind the outside of the left goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Ye Yifeng stood there with his hands on his hips, looking at Alisson with admiration in his heart!

This save is really awesome!

It’s okay not to accept it.

Klopp's face didn't look good.

A team with a bad defense will make the goalkeeper stand out even more.

Like Manchester United once upon a time.

The shabby defense now has a picturesque frontcourt and De Gea's fame in the backcourt.

Manchester United is also unlucky.

When the back line fails, De Gea almost has the aura of the Hand of God.

When the big brother Maguire came to the defense, Wan-Bissaka was reinforced on the wing, and Luke Shaw also came out of the haze of a broken leg.

Although the defense is not the top in Europe, it is still good.

But De Gea couldn't do it again.

Without the halo, he can be said to be a bit mediocre.

After all, he's not even Spain's number one goalkeeper.

Why was Atletico Madrid's defense so strong back then?

In addition to the steel defense line, there is also Oblak who sprints all the way to cross the threshold of god level.

Liverpool couldn't guard Manchester United's striker today, and the one under the greatest pressure was naturally Alisson.

He is now one of the top five goalkeepers in the world, and of course he has the obligation to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Liverpool successfully defended the corner kick and did not immediately start a fast break.

Thiago does have something about controlling the rhythm.

After all, he is also someone who learned the dog-walking tactics from Guardiola.

In the 37th minute of the game, Mane tried to break through on the left to do something big.

As a result, Maguire intercepted the ball as soon as he entered the penalty area after dribbling inside.

Klopp gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly.

This striker's state is really stretched.

Maybe Klopp overlooked something important.

The striker, who was already in a sluggish state, is now in a "restart" state because Liverpool's team actively controls the rhythm and every attack.

It is difficult for them to improve their status through the continuity of the game rhythm!

What Liverpool is good at is putting pressure on opponents at a fast pace, forcing them to make mistakes and crushing them.

As a result, their approach has become a double-edged sword because they have to slow down the pace in order to protect the defense from frequent attacks by their opponents.

It also weakened Liverpool's offensive threat.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester United's midfielder organized an offensive. Ye Yifeng took the initiative to retreat and after receiving Fred's pass, he knocked the ball back to find Pogba, who then passed the ball with McTominay to advance.

Ye Yifeng ran forward along the center but suddenly moved to the left.

Pogba sent a long pass to the left near the baseline.

The direction is the direction of Ye Yifeng's movement, but the landing point is not where Ye Yifeng is.

Arnold and Martial were defeated in the battle. Martial got stuck first, took off and sailed the ball back with a header.

Ye Yifeng stopped the ball on his chest less than 10 yards behind the side.

Thiago rushed to press, but Ye Yifeng stepped on his bicycle and then changed direction and knocked the ball back with his heel.

McDawminet followed up to respond, and Thiago was already far away when he turned to follow Feng Ye Yifeng.

McTominay's direct pass was controlled by Ye Yifeng in front of the penalty area. At this time, Fabinho and Henderson closed the door and defended together to press Ye Yifeng. The latter knocked the ball to the right like a dragonfly.

Move forward immediately after the ball is released.

When he rushed past Henderson and Fabinho, Rashford also rushed the ball and sent a through ball before Wijnaldum blocked it.

Alisson decisively attacked, and Ye Yifeng stopped and slowed down, then took turns on his bicycle and pretended to be shaking.

When Alisson lowered his center of gravity and prepared to save, Ye Yifeng suddenly changed the direction of the ball and swung it to the right.

Alisson was slowed down by Ye Yifeng's fake shake. When he reacted and moved to block the ball, he was already too slow.

Ye Yifeng's push shot was played. When Alisson took a step back to save, the football rolled past his left-hand blocking position.

Alisson closed his eyes and gritted his teeth with a look of resignation.

The football rolled into the goal!

Ye Yifeng smiled and waved to his teammates as he turned around and ran to the sidelines.

The teamwork of Manchester United in this goal was extremely exciting!
