Beijing time on August 23, the third round of Premier League will continue: Manchester United VS Liverpool . The trend of this game was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thinks that Liverpool will fight against Manchester United. Unexpectedly, it was Manchester United who scored first.
In the 10th minute, Elanga shot the neutral post.
In the 16th minute, Sancho broke the deadlock on the field.
was the first goal scored by Manchester United, Klopp looked surprised. And the Liverpool players are incredible. Van Dijk, the main defender of the team, was "educated" by Milner. Not only were Liverpool fans surprised, but even Manchester United fans probably couldn't believe their eyes.
Manchester United had lost two games in a row before. Why did it suddenly look like they were on a different team? As the saying goes: Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Manchester United is like this, what else do they have to worry about? In fact, the biggest change is one word: run. In the game where they lost 0-4 to Brentford , Manchester United ran 13.8 kilometers less than their opponents. What does this amount to? It's equivalent to 11 versus 12 on the court, and the opponent still has an extra person who can run. In this way, it would be strange not to be dragged down.
And what about this game? Manchester United pressed hard throughout the game, pressing high up the pitch, especially in the midfield and frontcourt, which was simply a crazy run. Everyone knows that Klopp's famous work is run and gun. In the first 16 minutes, Manchester United used run-and-gun tactics to catch Liverpool off guard. Why is Manchester United so good at running? In addition to the change in mentality, there is another important reason: C Luo sat on the bench.
If Ronaldo starts this game, do you think Manchester United can run? At the age of 37, Ronaldo can run once or twice, but it may not be possible for him to run at high intensity for the entire game. The 22-year-old Sancho, the 20-year-old Elanga and the 24-year-old Rashford can easily complete it. Therefore, having Ronaldo on the court will inevitably drag down Manchester United's overall rhythm. Therefore, it is not unfair at all for him to sit on the bench. Perhaps, Ten Hag can use this to make Manchester United change their way of life. However, if you really want to implement this tactic, don't use Martial - this guy is really lazy.
