As a result, Salah shook several times in a row. Couldn't find a better angle to shoot.
In desperation, he was ready to pass the ball to Mane.
Smalling, who was guarding the front of the box, saw it more accurately. Just step forward and destroy the ball with one kick.
It just so happened that the ball landed at Pogba's feet. Pogba was about to show off his work when he heard Jose Mourinho's loud voice on the sidelines.
"Split the edge! Split sides!
So he helplessly kicked the ball and passed the ball to the flank, at this time due to Liverpool's left wing, left-back Robertson had already assisted, and Pogba passed just this way.
According to Klopp's arrangement, if two full-backs assist and do not return, there are two defensive midfielders Henderson and another to fill in.
Seeing Pogba pass the ball towards this place, Henderson did not hesitate to immediately fill in for the left-back position, but he was running when he felt a gust of wind blowing past him.
He was surprised to see a familiar figure that quickly overtook him before he could even make him want to foul.
It's Li Chu!
Lukaku's speed is not slow, but he rushed up with his own weight, the kind with impact, and the real fast attack Lukaku is definitely not as good as Li Chu, and he is also a notch slower than Li Chu in terms of speed.
In this situation, if Romelu Lukaku rushed the ball, he would not have been able to throw Henderson away in an instant, giving Henderson the opportunity to foul, although Henderson would definitely send a set-piece to Manchester United.
However, the set-piece on the wing is as dangerous as Li Chu's current rush into the Liverpool penalty area.
At this time, Klopp was also surprised to find that Manchester United, which has always been relatively conservative, was really not conservative at all when playing back in this game. In the past, Mourinho's usual trick was to use one or two stars.
Playing others freely throughout the game ensures the solidity of the defense.
So there are not many opportunities, which requires very high requirements for players' ability to seize opportunities, and if they can't seize those few good chances, they are likely to draw, which is why Manchester United will be so many points behind Manchester City in the first half of this season.
But now here comes Li Chu, Li Chu is a player who can solve problems alone.
As a result, Manchester United played more steadily in the second half of the season, basically 10 or 9 people to defend, mainly Li Chu to solve the problem.
And Li Chu is now so hot that any bizarre ball can score, so those teams that want to put a bus or want to control the ball in the face of Manchester United are quite miserable.
Therefore, Klopp also continued, the trick against Manchester United in the league, once Li Chu took the ball, at least two players went to cover Li Chu, defended one to harass, and the other hesitated to the side to prevent Li Chu from breaking through, and then went deep into the hinterland.
This method can also reduce the threat posed by Li Chu as much as possible.
In any case, Liverpool's weakness is the midfield, and the back line and the front court are quite good.
And the midfield is relatively weak, or can not provide too many accurate passes when attacking, the offensive ability is relatively strong, but the defense is still good, like Henderson, Milner, those are typical tough guys, iron-blooded defense, very strong.
Klopp feels that as long as Li Chu is not given too many one-on-one opportunities, it should not be a big problem.
But I never expected that the style of Manchester United's game changed a little from the past, and now when Li Chu took the ball to break through on the right, Manchester United fired 10,000 arrows in unison, and several players went straight into the Liverpool penalty area.
Strikers like Luka Kurasford are fine.
There are also players in the midfield who are ready to enter the Liverpool penalty area to receive them.
And even the slower Fellaini rushed up, suddenly in Liverpool's penalty area there are 3~4 contact points, and at this time Liverpool's penalty area in the defender is only three people, the other side of Arnold assisted up, at this time is slowly walking back.
Arnold is notoriously weak in attack and defense, and is basically not much better than a humanoid stake when defending.
At this time, once Li Chu passed the ball, even Allison, who was in very good condition, could not resist, after all, the distance of the shot was too close.
At this time, Li Chu had already broken into the restricted area and inserted diagonally into the restricted area.
It's very close to the bottom line.
The success rate of shots at this angle is not high, almost close to the zero degree angle. There are so many teammates, some of whom are point-grabbing, physically strong, and have good heading ability, and if there are other strikers, Allison thinks he might try shooting.
After all, many attacking players have a good level of shooting, but the level of passing is not enough to see, although there are more teammates to receive, but this also requires more excellent footwork to accurately find their teammates in such a complex environment in the box.
And also pass the ball over to facilitate the shooting of your teammates.
Especially now that the players are running into the box, it is not convenient for them to attack directly if the ball is passed behind them. If it passes, like playing table tennis, it will be a very good opportunity.
But now that player is Li Chu.
Li Chu used to play in midfield, his shooting skills are very superb, but his passing skills are also top-notch.
In this case, it seems that passing is the most suitable method for a player who shoots well, especially a player who can read the game very well.
So Allison also had to prevent Li Chu from passing the ball out.
However, at this moment, Li Chu faced such a good pass opportunity from many teammates in the box, but he did not hesitate to come to a shot close to zero degrees.
Between the electric flint, Li Chu keenly captured the hesitation of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, who had already completed the basic task by guarding his near corner in this place.
But because Li Chu let Alisong judge and was a little hesitant, the position he stood in was a bit of a snake and mouse.
There was a gap between himself and the near goalpost, so Li Chu did not hesitate, and directly kicked and rushed to the near corner.
Li Chu's shot was like using all his strength, and the power was very large.
Because Li Chu also deliberately looked up to observe the running position of his teammates before shooting, this also made Liverpool's goalkeeper Alison feel that Li Chu would definitely pass the ball, so he was ready to guard against Manchester United players in the box at any time.
But his mind was seen through by Li Chu.
In desperation, he was ready to pass the ball to Mane.
Smalling, who was guarding the front of the box, saw it more accurately. Just step forward and destroy the ball with one kick.
It just so happened that the ball landed at Pogba's feet. Pogba was about to show off his work when he heard Jose Mourinho's loud voice on the sidelines.
