Chapter 435 We need heroes!
"God! The ball... the ball is scored again! We are now two goals behind! As the first half approached the end of the game, Liverpool scored another goal by Emre Jan, and now they have scored two goals!"
At Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United fans stopped talking, and looked at the stadium with serious expressions... Everyone felt a sense of crisis in their hearts!
On the sidelines, Solskjaer was still sitting in his position, but there was no smile on his face. He was originally angry in this game, and the team was scored again as the first half was approaching the end of the first half. It is really different from falling behind two goals and one goal behind!
When he was one ball behind, Solskjaer didn't feel anything... Isn't it just a ball behind?
However, after his goal was broken, Manchester United's performance on the court made Solskjaer a little worried. Although Manchester United's players still have the initiative on the court and are constantly attacking their opponents, they have never been able to make high-quality attacks and basically fail to pose any threat to Liverpool's goal.
Except for Yang Xiaozhuang's shot, which unexpectedly failed to make a shot, he did not make a truly threatening attack!
In this case...What does Manchester United use to equalize the score?
Even Solskjaer himself has to admit that Manchester United's performance today is indeed not as good as Liverpool. He failed to play high-quality offense while attacking. When defending, Mark Tominayi and Mansa received yellow cards, resulting in insufficient defense hardness, which gave Liverpool more offensive space. These are the main reasons why Manchester United is currently lagging behind by two goals.
The first half is about to end, and during this halftime break... I really need to adjust it well, otherwise the second half will inevitably be very difficult.
Soon, the first half ended...
"At the end of the first half, our performance today was not good. Except for Yang who worked hard to find offensive opportunities in front of him, no one else played the best form. The overall performance of the team was very bad, so we are now... two goals behind! Of course, the game is not over yet, and we are far from despair. As long as we can use the halftime to adjust well, we will still have the opportunity to tie the score and even overtake the score in the second half! After all, two goals are not an irreversible disadvantage for us!"
The commentator's words also represent everyone's mentality. Even Klopp and Liverpool players who returned to the visiting team's locker room think so... The advantage of two goals should be enough to win other teams, but it is definitely not enough to win Manchester United. Moreover, this game was played at Old Trafford Stadium. If you are careless, you may become the defeated side in the end.
Facing his own players, Klopp also said excitedly: "Young men, through the first half, you should have already understood that our opponents are not invincible. They will also have weaknesses of one kind or another. Even after our offense gives them enough pressure, they will also expose more problems in defense because of cards! Now, we are leading two goals, and the situation in the game is indeed beneficial to us! But I still want to tell you, forget these! Manchester United scored 26 goals in the previous eight rounds, and averaged more than 3 goals per game. And their top scorer, China Yang, has scored 17 goals, and he averaged more than two goals per game!"
Klopp stretched out two fingers with a serious look on his face: "Two goals! This means that even if we have scored two goals now, once China Yang plays out his strength, he can certainly let our advantage disappear!"
After hearing Klopp's words, all the "Red Army" soldiers who were a little proud of the past were silent... Yes!
Wouldn't it just lead two goals?
It’s not like I won two goals at the end of the ninety minutes!
What's there to be proud of?
What's more, Manchester United's number one scorer has not yet shown his strength. Once a pervert starts to score, Liverpool's two leading advantages are likely to be smeared by him alone. Once other Manchester United score another goal, Liverpool will eventually lose this game!
Seeing that their players realized this, "Uncle Scrap" nodded with satisfaction: "In the second half, we must continue to work hard to play. In the first half, we have found the balance between offense and defense. We have restrained Manchester United's offensive well and knocked on their doors twice. As long as we continue to play like this in the second half, who stipulates that Liverpool cannot take away a victory from Old Trafford? Men, as long as we work together... the victory must be ours!"
"Yes, victory must be ours!"
"Brothers, fight for another forty-five minutes, and we leave Old Trafford with a victory!"
"Yes! Fight for another forty-five minutes!"
"Guys, except for last year's FA Cup, we haven't won Manchester United for a long time, let alone won at Old Trafford. Today... is the best opportunity! Brothers, fight!"
"Fight!"
In the visiting team locker room, Liverpool players are all cheering each other crazy for this possible victory. In the home team locker room... the atmosphere is so gloomy that it is about to drip out of water!
As the first half approached the end of the game, Solskjaer had already decided to make substitutions after halftime, especially for Mansa on the defense line, he had to make substitutions, otherwise his team's defense would be too passive.
Moreover, Solskjaer not only wanted to replace Mansa with Varane, he also decided to replace Rashford with Demarle Grey... Doesn't this kid want a raise?
Still want such a high salary!
Then... you have to prove your own strength and prove that you deserve a contract with such high treatment, right?
Since that's the case... I'll give you a chance!
"Everyone knows that we are now two goals behind, and today's game is still a game between us and Liverpool, so in the second half, we have to make some adjustments. Rafael, you play in the second half, replace Timothy Demarle, you play in the second half, replace Marcus!"
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer paused for a moment before continuing: "In the second half, our offense and defense have been adjusted. I hope everyone can play a different performance from the first half. I don't require you to score three goals in the second half to complete the reversal, but at least... we have to score two goals to tie the score, right?"
