Pogba's brilliant breakthrough through Firmino made the visiting Manchester United fans ecstatic, and when they saw Pogba trying to break through Li Qing, they even waved their arms arrogantly, signaling Pogba to give Li Qing a little color to see.

As a result, Li Qing did not shake up, and even used feints to confuse Pogba.

Li Qing stretched out his foot to cut off the ball at Pogba's feet, without unnecessary adjustments, and directly passed the ball with his left foot to the right rib of the attack, and Salah, who turned forward, walked the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

De Gea opted for a very safe acceleration and the final thing was very simple for Salah, who pushed the ball quickly over the goal line against the grass and into the snow-white net with a gentle push of the arch of his left foot.

Salah, who scored the goal, turned around and ran to Li Qing who gave the assist for the first time, ecstatic, if it was not for Li Qing's timely pass, he would not have had a chance to score, so he wanted to thank Li Qing well.

Mourinho in front of the visiting coach's box was very angry, and he stressed countless times before the game that he should be decisive on the ball, especially in the middle and back, not to stick to the ball too much, and Pogba, who thought he was extremely skilled at his feet, did not listen to it, and tried Liverpool's efficient high-risk pressing.

It's good now, the game is half an hour behind by two goals, how to play the next game?

All-out attack?

Judging from the offensive attributes of the players in Manchester United's current squad, it is completely ineffective in attacking.

What can really pose a threat to Liverpool is to defend solidly and then wait for opportunities to counter-attack.

But with the score down by two goals, it is certainly useless to continue to defend.

In stark contrast, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, with a two-goal lead basically meant the game could be won early, and his trademark combination was once again on display at Anfield.

“aoaooaooaoooooo——"

The Liverpool fans in the audience seemed to be inspired by Klopp, and the frenzied atmosphere that broke out went up a notch and came to the extreme.

Through slow-motion replay, Juli TV speaker Zhan Jun found that Li Qing cut off Pogba's pass and made a defensive feint in advance, he said with a smile: "In addition to Li Qing's use of offensive feints, the feints on the defensive end are also fake, Pogba is not unjust in losing the ball this time......"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5 Channel, changed his words and said with a smile: "I really don't know if Li Qing's defense this time is a blind cat or deliberate, but no matter what, Pogba is taboo to dribble the ball in the backfield, once the ball is lost, Manchester United's incomplete backline will be directly exposed under the noses of Liverpool's attacking players!"

Pogba, who is directly related to the goal conceded, has a very ugly face, and the head coach Mourinho has a key advice before the game, he saw that Li Qing failed to control himself in the end, so he had a feeling of shamelessness in front of his teammates.

Herrera, who is still experienced, patted Pogba on the right shoulder and reassured: "Paul, you don't need to blame yourself too much, dribbling is your advantage, everyone will make mistakes in the game, you are the tactical core of the team, you should clean up your mood as soon as possible, the game is not over yet, you have a chance to win the game......"

Listening to the words from Herrera, Pogba quickly cleaned up his mood, the wind is like this, and it is not that he has not conceded a goal in the game, the important thing is to stand up in the next game!

Li Qing, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates, noticed that someone was looking at him in the process of walking back, he turned his head suspiciously, and just met Pogba's provocative eyes, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and returned a disdainful smile.

Pogba thought the young Li Qing would be affected, but the result was ...... Unexpectedly, it was himself who was affected......

However, this pot, he is determined.

By the time Pogba looked at Li Qing again, Li Qing had already returned to his own half, waiting for kickoff.

“aoaooaoaooooooo——"

With Liverpool leading Manchester United by two goals at home, the home fans in the audience were thrilled, creating wave after wave of chanting, and even playing the Mexican wave.

Manchester United, who are two goals behind, have no choice but to strengthen their attack if they do not have problems in defence.

Mkhitaryan, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku put Liverpool's midfield defence to the test, but as Van Dijk adapted to Liverpool's defensive system, he played a pivotal role and was often able to step up and save the day in the team's most dangerous moments.

After surviving Manchester United's attacking three-plate, Liverpool slowly organized an effective attack and threatened De Gea to guard the goal.

A few minutes later, 40 minutes into the first half, Liverpool at home began to slow down the tempo of their attack, and as the first half came to a close, the initiative fell to the visiting team Manchester United.

Juli TV reporter Zhan Jun frowned: "Liverpool seems to not want to attack at the end of the first half and give up the initiative. "

In fact, Klopp wanted the United players to step up their attack at the end of the first half, so as to increase the chances of Li Qing scoring in the process of rapid counter-attack.

However, there is a certain danger in this approach, and if the defense of the side is not done well, it is very likely that the side will concede the goal first.

Until the end of the first half, Li Qing did not find a chance to counter-attack with the ball, and Manchester United did not narrow the score, and the home team Liverpool entered the dressing room with a two-goal lead.

The Liverpool players, who were two goals ahead, looked significantly better than the United players, with a number of United players holding on to their faces, especially Pogba, who had a poor first half.

From the point of view of conceding goals, without Pogba's fouls and dribbling errors in this game, Manchester United would not have conceded the ball.

The players from both sides entered their dressing rooms as the TV stations, which have the rights to broadcast the 2017-2018 Premier League season, reviewed the closing first half.

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the pitch one after another.

Before the start of the second half, United were the first to make a change, with Jesse Lingard replacing Mkhitaryan, who had done nothing in the first half, to increase the pace of the attack on the flanks.

Klopp doesn't care much about Manchester United's adjustment, Lingard's technical ability is not as good as Mkhitaryan's, and his passing skills are even worse, but he can contribute a world wave when he is in good shape.

As long as Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson hold their positions defensively, it will be difficult for Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic and Herrera to produce high-quality long-range shots.

Pogba, who was the sinner of Manchester United in the first half, began to try to shoot from distance when he realised that his pass could not pose an actual threat to the Liverpool goal.

However, Klopp was targeted at half-time, with his long-range shots either deflecting wide of the post or being blocked.

For this, Matic also received a yellow card.

Li Qing, who was in the process of switching from defense to attack, was kicked to the ground by Matic, and referee Oliver decisively whistled + yellow card. _
