Football’s First Defender

Chapter 687: Rooney broke the record

   Manchester United's offensive performance in the second half put a lot of pressure on Liverpool.

   Liverpool, with such an outstanding performance at Manchester United, was also shocked by Manchester United's attack.

   All Liverpool players maintain a high level of defensive vigilance to ensure that they have better defensive performance and performance.

   As Liverpool spent the opening period of the second half of Manchester United's offensive, in the subsequent games, gradually recovered their game state.

   Liverpool's defensive players began to consciously increase the defensive pressure on Mata. Uncle Mata must not be allowed to easily send threatening passes in the midfield.

   Concentrated his strength to encircle Mata, and then Yang Feng further expanded his defensive range, so as to be able to play his own defense capabilities to extend his defensive threat outside the penalty area.

   With Liverpool's further improvement in overall defense, Manchester United's offense has not started so easily.

   With Liverpool's outstanding performance on the defensive end, while curbing Manchester United's offensive at the beginning of the second half, it also made Liverpool's own counterattack sound.

   Manchester United played their own offense, while Liverpool focused on defending and counterattacking.

   The 64th minute of the game.

   Manchester United was forced by Liverpool in midfield, Herrera risked a long pass and wanted to find Rooney directly, but Yang Feng was defended by Yang Feng and directly blocked.

   Liverpool's counterattack came immediately.

   Yang Feng's pass directly found Milner in the middle, and Milner took the ball forward.

   Manchester United's retreat is still fast, but this time Sturridge Coutinho's counterattack is equally fast.

   Milner made a powerful pass, and he found Sturridge in the front.

   Sturridge dribbled the ball and wanted to go directly into the penalty area, but under Smalling's forcing defense, there was no good chance to complete the goal directly.

   Under defensive pressure, Sturridge can only choose to immediately distribute the ball to the nearby Coutinho.

   As Moreno's edge is still on the left side, it puts a lot of defensive pressure on the Manchester United wing for a while.

   But Coutinho did not choose to short pass the ball to Moreno on the left, but suddenly took the ball and kicked it back into the Manchester United penalty area.

   The ball passed through the area behind Sturridge, which happened to be a defensive gap in the Manchester United penalty area.

   The catcher was Henderson, who penetrated from outside the penalty area.

   This time Henderson fully explained the value of the b2b midfield.

   After staring at Mata on the defensive end, when he counterattacked, he stepped forward with all his strength and participated in the team's offense.

   Henderson did a pretty good job of leading the ball during the fast moving.

   Although the opponent Fellaini's follow-up is very tight, but he dare not complete too much defensive action in the penalty area.

   Henderson forced the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

   Then, relying on the speed, he barely got rid of half of Fellaini's position, when there was a room to hit the door.

   immediately seized the opportunity to hit the goal from a small angle while traveling, and hit the bottom right corner of the goal.

   This time, De Gea's quick "cheating" did not intercept, Henderson's quick shot.

   The ball slid directly through De Gea's defense zone and then rolled into the goal.

   "goal!!!"

   "Henderson! Excellent offensive finishing ability on the counter-attack!"

   "A shot from a small angle while walking directly helped Liverpool score a goal."

   "Liverpool, with its super counterattack ability, has achieved a two-goal lead."

nothing at all.

   For Manchester United players, their own suppression in the second half seemed to be meaningless. Instead of scoring a goal, the opponents easily expanded the score by counterattack.

   This is a huge test for the enthusiasm of Manchester United players. After Liverpool scored this goal, Klopp also made personnel adjustments.

   Sturridge exits and replaces Emre Can to further strengthen

The running ability of the midfield.

   And Van Gaal can only desperately change offensive players at this time, Depay came off the bench to continue to strengthen the team's strength on the front line.

   Manchester United can only rely on offense to forcibly retrieve two goals away from home.

   And, as the game progressed, Van Gaal again moved Fellaini to the frontcourt in the second half of the game to strengthen the team's frontcourt attack.

   At this time, because of Fellaini's front, Manchester United has a high point in the penalty area. Unlike the half-time game, the combination of Fellaini and Rooney looks lonely.

   Behind them, there is Depay, Martial and Mata at this time, to contain the defense and provide passes for them.

   Manchester United completely gave up the defense behind them, and also rewritten the score on the offensive end.

   And Manchester United's siege of Liverpool finally paid off in the 78th minute of the game.

   Manchester United's chance of a corner kick in the front court.

   did not directly choose to pass the ball into the penalty area, but played a tactical corner kick.

   This time the time difference has caused Liverpool's defense to loosen slightly.

Mata received the ball on the left and waited for these two seconds. Liverpool’s defensive formation, some expanded and some retracted, split instantly, while Manchester United players did not move in the penalty area. Suffer too much.

   Mata made a curve ball and directly found the empty space in the middle area.

   And Fellaini's position happens to be within this empty space.

   Yang Feng followed closely, but this time, there was nothing he could do.

   After all, Fellaini started it first~lightnovelpub.net~ This also made Yang Feng completely resisted by Fellaini behind him, and there was no way to get around the front and come to the landing point to make a first relief.

   Fellaini jumped high in front of the door and shook his head directly to attack.

   And Yang Feng can only do his job in order to form a defensive interference in the side and rear, and try to hinder Fellaini's header.

   "The ball hit the crossbar!"

   Fellaini's shot hit the crossbar, and Yang Feng's defensive interference was still effective.

   "But! There is more!"

   "The ball is in!"

   "Rooney!"

   "Strike in the volley on the right and hit the ball directly into the goal!"

   "Manchester United, get a goal back!"

   In this offense, the two former Everton players formed an excellent "connection" and both showed a very good offensive state.

Rooney’s supplementary shot in the game not only helped Manchester United score a goal, it was also the 176th goal that Rooney scored for Manchester United. With this goal, he also surpassed Henry and became the history of the Premier League, a single goal. The team, the player who scored the most goals in the Premier League.

   It can only be said that Rooney's position in front of the goal was too clever this time, causing the ball to hit the crossbar. After the rebound, it fell directly near Rooney, allowing Rooney to complete this supplementary shot.

   2 to 1, the suspense of the game was beaten back again...
