Chapter 809

"Liverpool's defense is different now than before. It seems that since Lin started to like to use collision defense, Liverpool players will often use this collision defense."

Van Dijk defended Sancho, and Alisson passed the ball to McAllister. Liverpool's transition from defense to offense was very smooth.

McAllister cleverly passed the ball to Nunez, who successfully got rid of Lindelof in his first start of the game!

Maguire is not good at chasing back, so he could only watch Nunes dribbling the ball towards De Gea!

De Gea attacked and met Nunez head-on as soon as he left the small penalty area. Nunez chose to scoop up the ball!

Without much effort, Nunez used an arc to send the ball from De Gea's waist towards Manchester United's goal!

Lin Chen ran towards Nunez in advance. From his point of view, the ball had already been scored!

"Nunes scores!!!"

"Manchester United are 2-0 down in the FA Cup semi-final!"

"Liverpool played very well in this game. Nunez and McAllister created goals. McAllister's through passes are getting better and better!"

Klopp then sent on Gakpo, Salah went off the field to rest, Gravenberch also came on to replace Lin Chen, and Odegaard came on to replace McAllister.

Although they were only leading by two goals, Klopp was very confident in the players he replaced.

Afterwards, the game really belonged to Liverpool. Manchester United's midfielder's method of organization was to pass the ball to Bruno, and when Bruno looked for targets forward, he could only look for Rashford and Rod.

Rodri began to concentrate on defense, Odegaard played as a defensive midfielder alone, and was only responsible for passing the ball. Liverpool did not defend, and consumed most of Manchester United's attack just by passing the ball!

The more Liverpool played like this, the more anxious Manchester United became.

Bruno Fernandes was able to organize the attack seriously at the beginning, but later on his through passes became inaccurate.

Rashford was unable to break through Van Dijk, so Gravenberch came on the field not only to help Liverpool advance, but also to help Konate defend Rashford.

With Gravenberch's long legs, when Rashford starts, Gravenberch can keep up.

What makes Manchester United fans most angry is actually Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson. Every time the ball is passed back to Alisson, the ball will stay in Liverpool's penalty area for a long time.

"Alisson is very comfortable every time he gets the ball in the penalty area, not like a goalkeeper, and he will pass the ball only when Rashford gets to him."

"Alisson, you'd better not let me see you make a mistake, or I will lead the Manchester United fans to laugh at you crazily!"

"Now you know why many Premier League teams are buying goalkeepers with good passing ability. When Alisson is standing in front of your goal, you can safely pass the ball to him again and again."

With Alisson's exhaustion, the FA Cup semi-final quickly came to an end. In the end, Manchester United lost to Liverpool 1-3 and lost the chance to enter the FA Cup final.

"The FA Cup semi-final is over. To all Manchester United fans, Manchester United may not be able to compete for any championship this season."

"But it doesn't matter. Liverpool didn't win the championship last season, but didn't they win it again this season?"

"So Manchester United fans can expect the team to perform even better next season!"

"On the other side, Manchester City vs Chelsea, the winner is Manchester City, and Manchester City and Liverpool will meet in the FA Cup final."

Gullit and Scholes are looking forward to the FA Cup final. In the recent league match, Manchester City just lost to Liverpool, but Manchester City still has a points advantage.

"In the past few seasons, the only team that could compete with Liverpool for the championship was Manchester City. Now that Liverpool has gradually come out of the trough, they are starting to compete with Manchester City for the championship again."

“But both teams performed well in the Champions League and won the first leg away from home.”

Gullit looked at the two teams' Champions League records. In the first leg of this season's 1/8 knockout round, both teams beat their opponents away from home, and Liverpool will soon face Inter Milan in the second leg!

"In the Champions League 1/8 knockout round, if Liverpool can beat Inter Milan in the second leg, they will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League."

"And the second leg will be played at Liverpool's home ground, so Inter Milan's chances of winning are slim."

"However, Inter Milan has performed very well in the league this season. If they are eliminated from the Champions League, they can still fight for the league title with all their strength."

Inter Milan’s idea is definitely not the same as Gullit’s. Inzaghi made a completely different tactical deployment from the first leg. In the second leg at Anfield, Inter Milan’s goal is still to win!

"I believe everyone has seen Liverpool's recent performance! Their defense and offense are very strong, especially Lin, who is getting better and better, so I hope you don't play like Manchester United in the second round, but take the initiative and fight with all your strength!"

"Manchester United's problem is that they gave too much confrontation rights to Liverpool and Lin, while we have to constantly find different Liverpool players to confront through large-scale and multi-range confrontations."

"Not every player at Liverpool has such a strong confrontation ability like Lin, so we have to increase the conflict points before Liverpool and Lin, so that we can prevent Lin from playing his confrontational role!"

Inzaghi is ready to turn the second round into a complete confrontation game in this way. Instead of passively allowing Lin to find a chance to confront him, it is better to confront him with all his strength!
