Nine Hundred and Fifteenth Situation Stalemate
Mbappe's goal ignited the passion of Liverpool fans, and at the same time allowed Liverpool, who had been attacking for a long time, to get spiritual excitement and stimulation!
The Liverpool generals wasted no time in celebrating, and let Manchester United kick off as soon as possible.
Mourinho concealed his frustration well.
It seems that Liverpool equalized the score through a chance in the melee, but in fact it was Liverpool's high-pressure attack that pressed Manchester United to the limit, causing Manchester United's defense to mess up!
Situ Yunbing was also very rational in his approach to scoring goals. He clapped his hands to encourage the players to continue the attack, but the defense had to cheer up. Before Manchester United kicked off, Situ Yunbing made a simple gesture to the defense.
Tactical fouls are necessary!
Manchester United continue to defend!
The Red Devils fans in the stands of Old Trafford seemed to have fallen from heaven, their faces were full of disappointment, but they also cheered for the team.
Fortunately, the team did not fall behind in the score, and it would not suffer a major blow.
Manchester United didn't care too much at this time, and fouled if there was a danger.
In the 85th minute of the game, Herrera's foul on Eriksson caused him to get a second yellow card. Two yellow cards turned into one red and he was sent off.
Ibrahimovic's position dropped further, and after 2 minutes, he also received a yellow card for a foul on Henderson.
Seeing that the game is about to enter the stoppage time period, Liverpool's offensive quality has begun to decline. After all, after 90 minutes of rushing, Liverpool's consumption is greater than that of the opponent's static defense.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Sane got rid of Mata's defense with a false swing in the retreat after waving the ball back from the front side, and then blasted out with a long shot!
Seeing that the football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, but the football did not fall in front of the goal, and slid past the goal on the upward trajectory!
Situ Yunbing looked up to the sky and sighed!
Don't blame Sane for being selfish. There really wasn't a good chance to pass the ball just now. If the long-range shot hadn't been brought about by the decline in physical fitness and the technical footwork was not at its best, it might have really scored!
Manchester United is also delaying time at home, there is no way, they have no threat of counterattack at all, and now they can only accept this result silently.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game,
The Red Army fans are slightly disappointed, but the Red Devils fans are not satisfied.
Situ Yunbing shook hands with today's unsmiling Mourinho after the game, and then turned and walked towards the player tunnel in the corner of the court.
Behind the draw, Situ Yunbing's greater worry was Gareth Bell.
It has been nearly a month since he returned from injury, and Gareth Bell has not yet played the expected state, and he is not necessarily required to return to the peak, but it is a cruel reality to fall short of the most basic expectations.
When interviewed after the game, the reporters seemed to consciously hope that Situ Yunbing would criticize Mourinho's conservativeness, but Situ Yunbing did not respond.
There's no need to dwell on United's lackluster performance at home.
After all, this is Mourinho's team, and it has become commonplace in the past ten years.
If I still criticize it because of this today or if I am really angry, it can only show that I am too naive.
Regarding the evaluation of this draw, Situ Yunbing still found the bright spots of the team from the positive side.
"Manchester United's defense didn't really bother us too much but De Gea was world class, I think he was the best player in the game and if he plays like that every game, United will be strong contenders very quickly.
We missed some chances, but the performance when the score was behind was also phenomenal. I really appreciate the calmness and patience of the players!
Mbappe's goal seems to have been lucky, but I still think it is the result of the hard work of the Liverpool team.
This draw may allow us to close the gap, but this is the Premier League. It will be difficult for us to replicate last season's performance. The situation is different. The good news is that we will still lead the league, but there is no room for error! "
In the interview after the game, Mourinho still behaved very Buddhistly in the face of the aggressiveness of the reporters.
He said calmly with an indifferent face: "If you don't watch the game and only look at the result, this draw is the best result we have achieved against Liverpool many times in the past.
This means that we have improved. First of all, we have not been scored three goals, four goals, or even five goals by Liverpool at home.
We only let our opponent score one, and we also led the defending champion for a long time in the game!
It's a pity that we couldn't keep it in the end.
When you criticize Manchester United for playing too conservatively, I think if Mbappe doesn't score, now you will praise Manchester United's performance.
Regardless of what you think, I am proud of Manchester United's performance, we are on the right path! "
Manchester United's game, Mourinho can only do nothing.
If you don't quit Manchester United's previous habit of being crazy when attacking, it may be difficult for Manchester United to return to the top group in the Premier League in a short period of time!
Because now Manchester United does not have the capital to continue the tradition.
Otherwise, they would not invite themselves to coach!
This is the simplest logic.
Whether it is the board of directors or the management of Manchester United, if they think that inviting Mourinho can bring beautiful football, offensive football, passionate football, then they are out of their minds!
Who in the world doesn't know what style Mourinho is?
If you are now picking on him because of his style of play, why should the Manchester United board throw an olive branch at him?
It's not about expecting to achieve results in the short term, as long as there is a record, other things don't matter.
Liverpool left Old Trafford with a draw.
When Situ Yunbing returned home, he learned that Manchester City had been bombed by Everton at Goodison Park!
Liverpool's neighbor Everton actually swept Manchester City 4-0 at home!
It gave Manchester City a humiliating fiasco!
Guardiola may have hoped too much to close the distance from the top of the list, and stubbornly made the team play aggressively, but the result proved to the world that the Premier League has no underdogs.
In other games, Chelsea beat Leicester City 3:0 away, Arsenal swept Stoke City 4:0 away, and Tottenham crushed West Brom 4:0 at home!
After a full rest after the devil's schedule, only Manchester City, one of the top six teams in the Premier League, ended in a disastrous defeat. If Liverpool hadn't encountered Manchester United, who had hunkered down and defended for 90 minutes, and De Gea's brilliant performance, I am afraid that they would not have only taken away a point in the away game.
After this round, Manchester City fell out of the top four in the league!
Liverpool, 52 points.
Chelsea, 51 points.
Arsenal, 47 points.
Tottenham, 44 points.
Manchester City, 42 points.
Manchester United, 39 points.
Chelsea are just one point off the top of the table, while Manchester City are two points off Tottenham.
The fierce competition in the Premier League is very rare in the entire history of the Premier League!
Without the League Cup campaign, Liverpool had plenty of time to adjust in January. There was no battle in the middle of the week. Situ Yunbing communicated with the coaching staff more about Gareth Bale's situation during the preparations.
Moniz thinks Gareth Bale has no problem with his technique, but his technical performance largely depends on his physical condition and state, so it is necessary to keep him healthy, and it is what the coaching staff needs to do most to adjust his physical condition to the best.
Gerrard has the opposite view, he believes that if Gareth Bale does not make a transition, his physical load will make him decline before the age of 30!
Because frequent high bursts and game load will make Gareth Bell's injuries more frequent!
Situ Yunbing comprehensively adopted the suggestions of the coaches. It is impossible for him to transform Gareth Bale at this time, because even he is confused about the direction of the transformation, so he can only reduce his game load and use him more cautiously, so that he can maintain his physical condition every time he plays as much as possible without any problems.
This can also slightly reduce the incidence of injuries.
On the weekend, Liverpool ushered in the challenge of Swansea at home. Since the lead in the league was only one point, this brought a certain amount of psychological pressure to Liverpool. However, Swansea's sneak attack after the opening game was also very impressive. It was unprepared, and Liverpool quickly fell behind at home.
Fortunately, Liverpool quickly cheered up and launched a mad attack on Swansea!
Sane became the star of the team today. He played an eye-catching one shot and two passes in the game, helping the team beat Swansea 3:2 at home and scored all 3 points.
The focus of media attention after the game was the reason why Gareth Bell was placed on the bench.
Situ Yunbing did not express much about this. He and Gareth Bell had an exchange on Friday night. There was nothing to hide between the master and the student.
Not to mention happy or unhappy, Gareth Bell completely trusts Situ Yunbing, and he can also feel that the serious injury in the second half of last year had a great impact on him.
Lewandowski also entered the bench lineup, but Situ Yunbing didn't give him playing time just to be on the safe side.
Lewandowski is expected to feature in next weekend's FA Cup clash.
In the same round of the league, Chelsea beat Hull City 2-0 at home!
No one would have thought that when the season entered the second half, Chelsea would be the team chasing after Liverpool!
Arsenal won Burnley 2:1 at home, and Klopp's team can also put pressure on Liverpool.
Manchester United challenged Stoke City this round but was tied 1:1 by their opponents. While improving the quality of defense as much as possible, Manchester United's offense still seems to have no rules. To use the words of the fans, it is completely relying on chaos!
In this round of Manchester City's home game against Tottenham, Guardiola and Pochettino once again met on a narrow road.
Guardiola led the team with a terrible sense of rhythm this season. After losing to Liverpool, they sometimes became aggressive, and sometimes they seemed to have learned to be conservative after being bombed, but the effect was not good. Even though Manchester City leads Manchester United, they are still not as consistent as Mourinho and Conte in maintaining the rhythm of the team!
In the end, Manchester City and Tottenham shook hands in a 1:1 draw at the Etihad Stadium!
