Van Carey lost the right to pick the side and automatically won the right to kick off. He stood at the kick-off point in the center circle and waited for the referee Atkinson to blow the whistle.

The violent outburst at Anfield Stadium, which can accommodate 54,000 fans, was reduced to a minimum. Atkinson turned to the stopwatch in his hand, exhaled sharply, and the whistle suddenly sounded:"Beep."~"

"China TV station! China TV station! What we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of Liverpool's home game against Manchester United in the 8th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season! China

Channel 5 commentator He Wei blurted out his iconic opening remarks:"The one wearing the white jersey and white pants is the visiting team Manchester United. They attack from the left to the right of the broadcast screen. The one wearing the traditional red jersey and red pants is The home team Liverpool, they attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left side. This double red meeting is the 181st meeting between the two sides in history.……"

"wuuwuwuwuwuuuuuuuuuuu——"

At the same time, huge boos like a tsunami erupted from Anfield.

Fans of the home team Liverpool booed their rival Manchester United in this way, hoping to bring huge psychological pressure to the Manchester United players and thus benefit the team they support.

The Manchester United players who received the ball were calm and unfazed. The long-term undefeated game has tempered their championship temperament of not being arrogant or impetuous. The passing, cutting and running positions were strictly in accordance with Mourinho's pre-match arrangements.

Van Carey is Manchester United's most threatening offense, and Van Carey's national teammate Wijnaldum's task in tonight's game is to completely freeze him.

As a teammate of the national team, Wijnaldum knows how good Van Kerry is, but the tactical direction set by head coach Klopp before the game is not wrong. As long as Van Kerry is optimistic, the team's defense will most likely not make mistakes..

As for other players, they are not enough to threaten Mignolet in guarding the goal.

Wijnaldum followed Van Kerry closely, which had a great impact on Manchester United's offense. Coupled with the absence of core midfielder Pogba, the creativity of the midfield and frontcourt was greatly reduced.

Liverpool restricted Van Kerry through the advantage of defensive personnel, which had a huge impact on their offense, so much so that Salah, who transferred from Roma this summer, frequently fell into a situation of fighting alone.

Salah's personal breakthrough ability is strong, but it has not reached the level of Van Kerry. It is equivalent to saying that Klopp's game tactics are waiting for the opponent to make mistakes.

The defense sent by Mourinho in this game is all born in the 1990s. Except for Van Dijk, who is 26 years old, Luke Shaw, De Ligt and Achraf are all born in the 1995s, and Ashraf and Dericht are more They are born after 1998, only 18 and 17 years old respectively, which means that the average age of the entire defense line is only 20.75 years old.

Such a young defense is quite rare in the world. It is precisely because of this that Klopp has the confidence to lead the team to defeat the visiting Manchester United at home.

I never expected that Manchester United's defensive players were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. The Manchester United defense led by Van Dijk was solid. De Ligt and Achraf showed unimaginable maturity and stability, allowing Liverpool's offense to return without success again and again..

Liverpool's three consecutive attacks failed to convert into shots that hit the goal range. Manchester United began to organize effective attacks to put pressure on Liverpool's defense.

Although Van Carey was closely monitored by Liverpool's defensive players, it does not mean that he did not have opportunities to get the ball and shoot. It can only be said that he completed these technical actions in high-intensity physical confrontation.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, it’s the fifteenth minute of the first half. The scoreboard still reads 0:0, and no one has scored a goal.

Liverpool head coach Klopp stood in the home team's coaching area with his fists clenched, concentrating and holding his breath, not daring to relax at all.

Mourinho also stood in the coach's command area, but his mood was much better than Klopp's, smiling, as if this focus battle that attracted the attention of football fans around the world had nothing to do with him.

The on-site director gave Mourinho a close-up shot of his face. Manchester City coach Guardiola, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the live game, snorted:"Pretend to be X!"

Van Carey was unable to direct the ball towards the Liverpool goal. To threaten, the Liverpool fans in the audience were ecstatic, as if they had scored a goal.

In the blink of an eye, another five minutes of the game passed. Salah broke through with the ball on the right side of the attack and dodged Luke Shaw's defense. Before Van Dijk arrived, he completed a left-foot instep shot. Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea The position selection was very good, and he flew forward to hold Salah's long shot firmly in his hands.

Before De Gea could throw the ball vigorously, Wijnaldum and Alexander-Arnold moved towards Van Kerry to form a sandwich.

Lukaku and Rashford were both in bad positions, De Gea chose to stabilize the rhythm, and the fast break had to turn into a positional battle.

After many passes, the football came to the feet of Van Kerry on the left. Since he was watched by many Liverpool defensive players, there was no space needed for a breakthrough. He handed the ball to Matic, who was in charge, signaling the attack to go to the right..

Rashford is not a player with particularly delicate skills. His activities on the right are more crosses. Considering that his two-foot crosses were outrageous in the past, he consciously waited for Ashraf to participate in the attack.

According to Mourinho's pre-match arrangement, Ashraf can choose to move forward to the bottom line to complete the cross according to the game situation.

Facing the combined defense of Moreno and Coutinho, Rashford made an obscure gesture with his right hand.

Ashraf immediately understood and suddenly moved forward along the right sideline.

Considering Ashraf's amazing speed, Rashford gave a relatively large amount of advance.

Achraf, who was running forward at high speed, looked at the pass given by Rashford and wished he could strike with his eyes rolled...

Why do you think I am the captain Van Kerry when you pass the ball forward like that?

Slander is slander in the heart, and those who should run must still run.

Even if you can't catch the football, you can still leave the impression on your teammates and coaches that you are actively participating in the offense!

Achraf ran at full speed. Moreno and Lovren quickly gave up chasing after their eyes, laughing at Manchester United's young right back.

Still too young!

Ashraf, who was running at full speed, was as fast as the wind and lightning. He used the inside of the instep of his right foot to kick the football into the penalty area before the football was about to leave the baseline.

After passing the ball, Ashraf was affected by the huge inertia and rushed out of the baseline. Fortunately, he braked quickly and reacted quickly. He raised his right foot and pushed towards the strong aluminum alloy billboard to relieve the huge inertia and avoid injury.

Lovren raised his right hand high, signaling that the football had crossed the baseline early.

The assistant referee saw it very clearly and shook his head, indicating that it was not out of bounds.

The football flew high into the penalty area. Lukaku and Matip, who were at the front, jumped high and failed to hit the football. The ball flew to the back.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun sighed:"The cross that young player Achraf completed with all his strength was good, but it's a pity that Van Carey overshot."

Wijnaldum and Arnold looked at the football in mid-air and realized that they had overshot. I thought no one would be able to get this ball...

However, at this moment, Wijnaldum caught a glimpse of Van Kerry taking two small steps back, using his waist as an axis to complete the turn from facing the goal to facing away from the goal. , the hanging heart suddenly rose to the throat.

Damn it~

"wowoowowoowoooooooo——"

Accompanied by the huge exclamation from the Anfield stadium, Van Carey used the weak inertia to kneel down and jump into the air. His upper body naturally leaned back, and his right hand pushed down to maintain his balance. He drove his left foot from back to front to complete the right kick. The foot exerts force, from bottom to top, and the effect of waist training that has been carried out all year round shows a huge effect at this moment. With the waist as the pivot, the right foot gathering all the strength of the whole body kicks the falling football with the instep.

"Boom~"

The fans at Anfield Stadium were shocked. Most of them had watched the Sushi Country cartoon"Football Kid", and Van Carey's technical moves were almost exactly the same as the protagonist Tsubasa Ohsora's upside-down golden hook!

Goalkeeper Mignolet was stunned. Half a second later, by the time he reacted, the football had already hit the snow-white net...

Is there anyone in this world who can really restore the upside-down golden hook of Okora Tsubasa?
