Football: The strongest post-zero generation
Chapter 158
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's choice was also forced to do so, Manchester United did have a lot of success under Alex Ferguson in the past, the problem is that with the end of Ferguson's managerial career, Manchester United seem to be starting to pay off the glory they have won in the past.
Not to mention that the lineup is not good, Ed Woodward, who is responsible for recruitment, always buys players who don't like to use, and the post-90s players in the team are not easy to manage, especially in Pogba, for example, even if Pi forgets, he can't listen to criticism, and he will be anxious with you if he says a little.
Next week is the Champions League 1/8 final second leg at home against Sevilla, and the weekend is a double red meeting, and there is a headache when it comes.
The Champions League is naturally more important in terms of gold content, but the double red will be the most important for Manchester United's tradition.
Manchester United's squad is not good, and the depth of the bench is not good, so it is obvious that they cannot play at full strength in the two-front battle, so there is the idea of Mourinho going to one of them.
The league leaders have been in very good form recently, especially the leading goalscorer Li Qing, who will not win the game against Liverpool at home, and there is even a possibility that they will go all out and lose to Sevilla.
Although Sevilla can only be regarded as a strong team in La Liga, La Liga teams have always been the bitter masters of the Premier League team, and it is difficult to entangle, otherwise Manchester United would not have drawn 0-0 with Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium.
After a day of thinking, Mourinho decided to focus on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Of course, it is not that he gave up the league against Liverpool at home, it can only be said that the focus is on the Champions League, and the league with Liverpool at home is to do his best.
The first game of the 30th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season is the second leg of this season's double red meeting, which is also the 200th meeting between the two teams in history, and Manchester United have the upper hand in the past with 79 wins, 55 draws and 65 wins, although Manchester United have not been good against Liverpool in recent games......
Old Trafford, which can accommodate 76,000 fans, is a full house, and as the team that has won the most European titles in the past and the team with the most top-flight titles in England, it is natural that the level of attention will not be low.
Manchester United fielded the strongest squad at the moment, goalkeeper David De Gea, defenders Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Valencia, Nemanja Matic partnered Scott McTominay in midfield, Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez and Marcus Rashford in attack, and Romelu Lukaku up front.
Liverpool, who were rested in midweek, were at full strength, with goalkeeper Karius, defenders Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Jordan Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, and forwards Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Salah.
The commentators and football experts who got the starting lineups of both sides before the game are not optimistic about Manchester United playing at home, after all, the league leader Liverpool has been in very good form recently, Manchester United has to be distracted from the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final in the middle of next week, and the core of the midfield Pogba is also exempted due to injury.
It is already clear which is stronger and which is weak.
It's just that Manchester United and Liverpool have hated each other for a long time, and Manchester United will not easily admit defeat to Liverpool fans!
Li Qing is Liverpool's most dangerous player, so as soon as Li Qing gets the ball, there will be a tsunami of furious boos over the Laford Stadium.
Jose Mourinho's side are known for their counter-attacking defence, which can give the team the best game experience with limited resources, and Li Qing, who is in excellent form, has some signs of disappearing in the defense of Muhammad.
"Manchester United's defense is still very good......
As soon as Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai's voice fell, the football came to Li Qing's feet again, and his sudden acceleration shook off the aging Nemanja Matic, and McTominay lacked game experience, and the foul was not decisive enough at the critical time, Li Qing directly faced the entire Manchester United backline.
Smalling had no choice but to step forward to put pressure on Li Qing, Firmino decisively inserted diagonally, Li Qing picked up his left toe with his left foot, and the football took off into the air and flew towards the space behind Smalling.
Bailly was not experienced enough for Firmino, so he pushed Firmino behind him when he was stuck in position, and suddenly, Firmino, who picked up his right foot and was about to shoot, was unstable and fell to the ground.
The referee on duty, Anthony Taylor, was clear in the stands, blew the whistle decisively, pointed to the penalty spot with his left hand, and pulled out a yellow card from his trouser pocket with his right hand.
Li Qing will not take penalties, and Salah, who took the penalty, scored in one fell swoop to help Liverpool open the scoring away from home.
Mourinho, who is standing in the coach's command area of the home team, has nothing to do, the strength of the squad is very different from each other, and it is true that the top players are indeed behind, and it is not surprising that the home team is behind first.
In the 38th minute, Li Qing and his teammates played a wonderful one-two one in succession, the characteristics of Matic and McTominay's slow turn were exposed, Li Qing, who broke into the penalty area, faked a real shot and shook the reckless Smalling, and in the face of goalkeeper De Gea, he chose a very calm low shot, and the football ran from under De Gea's crotch without a net......
The scoreboard went from 0:1 to 0:2 and Jose Mourinho knew his team was powerless at home.
However, 0:2 was not the final score at Manchester United's home stadium, with Marcus Rashford and Li Qing scoring in the second half, and the score of 1:3 was the 200th meeting between the two teams in history.
With Manchester City's 2-0 win at Stoke City, the gap between Liverpool and Manchester City is still nine points, but with the final eight rounds of the league remaining, it will take a miracle for Manchester City to reverse Liverpool to win the 2017-2018 Premier League title.
Liverpool's strongest opponent in the final eight league games is Chelsea, but if there are no accidents at that time, the result of the two teams will not affect the final league title, as the second leg between the two teams is in the 37th round.
In addition, the ones that can pose a threat to Liverpool are Crystal Palace and Everton, of course, it is only a threat, as long as Liverpool do their best, there is no surprise in beating both teams.
The 30th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season has come to an end, and the world's sports media focus on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals that rekindled the fire in midweek.
The two matches on the first match day of the Champions League are Manchester United vs Sevilla and Chelsea vs Roma, the five Premier League teams that advanced to the round of 16 of the Champions League this season are in addition to Tottenham Hotspur being eliminated by Juventus, Manchester City and Liverpool have been announced, and the third Premier League team expected by the English media to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League did not wait, Manchester United lost 1:2 at home to Sevilla, due to the 0:0 in the first leg, which is equivalent to Sevilla eliminating Manchester United as a guest, exposing a small upset.
Chelsea beat Roma 1-0 at home to a 2-2 aggregate scoreline, allowing the hosts to progress to the quarter-finals by virtue of away goals.
There were no surprises in the other two quarter-finals, with Barcelona beating Shakhtar and Bayern knocking out Besiktas. _
