Coach, I want to play football!

Mkhitaryan's ribs are dribbling the ball towards the central penalty area, while Ibrahimovic is at the very least in the middle, and Rooney is slightly behind at the far end.

Matip is between Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic, and Lovren is between Ibrahimovic and Rooney.

This ball is very troublesome. If it goes up to Mkhitaryan who is dribbling the ball, Ibrahimovic, who is far away from Mkhitaryan, will have a good opportunity to score alone.

But if you don't go to Mkhitaryan, then Messi will have to go it alone! !

How to do how to do! !

After thinking a lot, Matip finally decided to find trouble with Mkhitaryan.

But before leaving his position, he pointed at Ibrahimovic to his partner Lovren, telling him to pay attention to this point.

Lovren nodded and subconsciously moved towards Ibrahimovic's center.

Matip went up, he is very familiar with Mkhitaryan.

Because Matip previously played for Schalke 04 and Mkhitaryan played for Dortmund, the two were Ruhr derby opponents and had played against each other many times.

It is worth mentioning that Mkhitaryan was originally introduced by current Liverpool head coach Klopp when he was in Dortmund.

Klopp on the sidelines was very nervous, because as Mkhitaryan's former mentor, he knew the strength of his disciple.

After all, the original intention of introducing Mkhitaryan was to fill the vacancy after Gotze left.

He felt something bad the first time he saw Matip come up, but now that the backcourt is two against three, and the rest of the defense cannot come back, Matip has no other choice.

So he didn't say anything, just praying that Mkhitaryan would be more alone after coming to Manchester United.

Although Klopp no ​​longer coached Dortmund last season, he will still pay attention to news about Dortmund.

For example, he knew that this former disciple scored 11 goals and 20 assists for Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season.

It was this performance that made him knock on the door of Manchester United.

Ye Qi on the field saw that things were indeed similar to what he imagined, and he was trying hard to get back on defense. But his position is too far away, and even if he is too fast, it will be difficult to make up for the gap in position.

Ye Qi soon discovered that it was definitely too late for him to return to defense like this. When he returned to the penalty area, it was better to hope that Leiva or Klein would return to defense faster. After all, their positions were closer to Mkhitaryan and his side.

So Ye Qi simply slowed down and saw if there was a chance to counterattack.

Mkhitaryan, who was holding the ball, saw Matip coming up as an old rival. He understood that the other party must know what he was thinking, and he also knew what the other party was thinking.

At this time, Ibrahimovic, who followed up in the middle, pointed his finger near the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area. His position at this moment has reached the top of the arc, which means that Mkhitaryan will send a ball in front of him.

Lovren subconsciously moved closer to Ibrahimovic's position. He knew that his body would definitely not be able to fight against the opponent, even if he was already thirty-five years old.

Therefore, we can only block the position first and destroy the ball passed by Mkhitaryan first.

Just when Matip came up and was about to reach the threatening distance, Mkhitaryan finally passed the ball.

Without saying a word, Matip gave up Mkhitaryan very decisively and started to turn around and chase!

Zhan Jun: "Mkhitaryan...pass the ball! Through ball, looking for Ibrahimovic?"

Soon, everyone discovered that the ball was not going towards Ibrahimovic. It was a diagonal pass to the right front of Manchester United.

At the same time, the ball also passed Ibrahimovic and Lovren in advance. When Lovren returned to the penalty area line, he subconsciously stretched his foot to reach for it, but did not touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Karius also came out to make an early clearance, but Rooney stepped in from the other side and grabbed the ball before Karius.

Almost while running, Rooney adjusted his steps and then hit the ball without stopping!

Because he knows that if he stops the ball and adjusts, Karius will have time to come up and block his shooting angle.

Zhan Jun: "This ball... Karius shouldn't have come out!"

Liu Yue: "Or if you want to come out, come early. This can make up for the disadvantage in numbers, three against three!"

Zhan Jun: "Look at this ball... Rooney!!!"

Karius, who was attacking, did not expect Rooney to be so determined, so he could only subconsciously spread his hands to block.

But because he lowered his center of gravity when attacking, it was difficult to take off at this time, so he could only reach out to block it.

The ball flew between Karius's hands, then directly hit the lower edge of the goal crossbar behind the opponent, and finally passed into the goal.

Zhan Jun: "Rooney!! We have the ball!"

Zhan Jun: "Having Lu Xiaopang in my family is a blessing and good health!!"

"In the 41st minute of the game, Manchester United scored a goal from Rooney to take the lead. Now Manchester United is 2 to 1! This is also Rooney's first league goal for the Red Devils this season!"

Ye Qi, who had just passed the center line, stopped completely and shook his head.

I saw the ball myself, but... there was nothing I could do, it was too far away.

Rooney rushed to the corner kick area to celebrate. He hugged Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan who came up, and Pogba also ran up from the backcourt.

Zhan Jun: "The transfer of Pogba's long pass in this ball is very important. Without this long pass, Manchester United's ball would definitely not have penetrated Liverpool's defense so easily."

Liu Yue analyzed: "Yes, Pogba is responsible for Manchester United's offensive and defensive transition. His role in the midfield is very important, especially such direct passes. I think this is why Manchester United has spent huge sums of money this summer. All reasons to bring each other back to Old Trafford."

What do you say about this guy Pogba... When he is powerful, he is really powerful, and when he is muddy, he is also really muddy.

In fact, Manchester United has two options in the transfer market this summer, either to strengthen the striker or strengthen the midfield.

According to Mourinho, he wants to create a central axis of center back, midfielder and center.

But...it costs a lot, especially when player values ​​are generally rising this summer.

Therefore, Manchester United CEO Santoku could only choose Pogba, and failed to bring Ye Qi, whom Mourinho longed for, to Old Trafford.

However, in order to appease Mourinho, Santoku still bought Bailly, Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic who came on a free transfer.

Mourinho himself never thought that when he was at Chelsea, he had to count on the veteran Eto'o, and now that he has come to Manchester United, he has to count on the veteran Ibrahimovic...

Sky TV is very lively at the moment.

Neville said proudly to Carragher: "How? Let me tell you, there is an old saying in China, forty-five... No, winning first does not count, winning in the end counts. win!"

Carragher stared at him, not understanding when this old guy started studying Chinese culture.

He said angrily: "What a hurry, there's still the second half!"

That being said, the opponent's head coach Mourinho is best at defensive counterattacks and arranging the bus. It's not necessarily easy to let the opponent take the lead.
