"Okay, the game has entered the intermission. In the first half, Liverpool and Manchester United ended in a goalless draw with a score of 0-0."
"Zhang pointed out, before the game, did you expect that the double red in the Europa League final would be like this?"
The game entered halftime, and the camera returned to the live broadcast room, focusing on the smiling faces of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu.
"In fact, before the first half of the game started, I saw Mourinho put Mkhitaryan and Mata on the bench and started Martial and Lingard. I guessed that his tactics today should be based on stability.
And the main thing is to fight back!”
"Both players Mkhitaryan and Mata generally move more in the rib area."
"As for Lingard and Martial, relatively speaking, they are both wing players with very strong breakthrough and speed. When receiving the ball, they often rush forward in one line!"
"Combined with Mourinho's situation at Manchester United, I'm actually not surprised at all that he drove the Mourinho bus to Sweden!"
"Haha..." Zhan Jun was amused, "Yes, it is also embarrassing for Mourinho. After all, no one in the Premier League dares to attack Liverpool. Liverpool this season is simply a terrifying devil.
, whoever dares to fight him will die!"
"Haha!" It was Zhang Lulu's turn. He nodded and smiled: "Mourinho's current situation at Manchester United is not very good. Not only have Manchester United fans been criticizing his coaching style, but even the club's senior management is dissatisfied that he did not get a Champions League spot.
There is also some dissatisfaction, so this game must not be lost for him, otherwise Mourinho's position will probably be in doubt!"
Zhan Jun took over and said: "Based on the game situation in the first half, I have to say that he still has a skill. The tight defense line compressed the Liverpool Trident's space for movement, making Salah and others collectively dumb."
"Now let's see how Klopp adjusts and responds in the second half!" Zhang Lu nodded.
Liverpool dressing room.
Klopp stood in front of the tactical board, and the tactical adjustments for the second half had been arranged.
"Yang! You must try more long-range shots when you have the chance. You don't have to be so selfless. Your long-range shot in the first half was very good."
Mo Yang nodded. He also had a headache in the first half of the game. He really hated this kind of tough battle.
Especially if you are attacking a wealthy team like Manchester United with a world-class goalkeeper, it will be even more difficult.
His long-range shot in the first half was from a tricky angle, but it was still knocked out of line by De Gea's fingertips. The Spanish goalkeeper was too difficult to deal with.
"Guys, it's time!"
Pete suddenly opened the locker room door and shouted.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yang and the others returned to the court through the players' tunnel.
As the referee blew the victory whistle, the second half of the Europa League final at the Friendship Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden, began again.
Klopp stood on the sidelines, looking at Manchester United who continued to set up the bus, with a playful smile on his face.
Klopp was not surprised at all when Mourinho drove the bus to Sweden.
This season, Manchester United under the Portuguese coach only finished fifth in the league, and they did not get a ticket to the Champions League.
Therefore, according to the Champions League competition rules, Manchester United must win this game if they want to participate in the Champions League.
If Liverpool wins the championship in turn, the Champions League spot vacated by the Premier League will be allocated to the third place in Ligue 1.
Therefore, if they want to participate in the Champions League, Manchester United must win the Europa League trophy.
Moreover, this Europa League championship is very important to Manchester United, which has never won the Europa League.
If Manchester United wins the Europa League, it will be the fifth Grand Slam team in European football to win the Champions League, Europa League, Winners, and Super Cup.
Therefore, as long as Mourinho wins this championship, his current dismissal crisis will disappear in an instant.
On the field, while Klopp was thinking, Liverpool suddenly faced a crisis.
The crisis comes from Lallana.
Maybe it was because the game just started and he wasn't focused enough.
After receiving the ball transferred by Henderson, Lallana did not pay attention to Martial coming from behind. He was caught off guard and the ball was taken away, instantly allowing Manchester United to form a high-speed counterattack in the midfield and frontcourt.
Martial got the ball and immediately started to speed up the ball. He strode along the left wing and strictly implemented Mourinho's tactical requirements.
When Arnold saw Martial rushing over, he did not rush forward. Instead, he retreated to the inside line, keeping a distance from Martial, blocking the inside position, and giving up the wing to Martial.
Liverpool are not afraid of crosses from the wing now, with Van Dijk here.
Sure enough, Martial's psychology was guessed by Arnold.
After Martial came to the bottom line, he tried to break through several times but failed, and he did not make a pass rashly.
He tried several times in the first half, but they were all cleared by Van Dijk. The Dutchman's aerial dominance was completely unstoppable.
Helpless, Martial could only bring it back, and when Fellaini got into the ribs, he handed the ball over.
On the right side of Liverpool's penalty area, Fellaini caught the ball from Van Dijk and Henderson formed a tacit linkage defense.
One blocks the long-range pass in the penalty area, and the other blocks the cross-pass line at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Fellaini was hesitant after taking the ball. He didn't need to look to know that Lallana behind him was probably coming back. Once he was entangled, the attack would probably be a pill.
In a flash of lightning, Fellaini made a decision. He quickly began to adjust and took off directly.
Van Dijk's attention was immediately focused, and he even made plans to block the shot with his crotch.
The result was that Fellaini, whose shooting action was extremely realistic, raised his left foot lightly, and the shot turned into a pass, very suddenly.
Henderson was also fooled by Fellaini's fake move and took a step towards the top of the arc, and the ball rolled past him the moment he left.
After Pogba came in, Henderson immediately pushed forward, trying to entangle Pogba.
But Pogba didn't give him a chance and didn't stop the ball at all. Instead, he chose to give the ball to his right foot.
Then he suddenly knocked the ball back to the left with the inside of his right foot, looking very much like he was trying to break through from the left.
Henderson's center of gravity moved subconsciously.
As a result, he never expected that the ball would reach Pogba's left foot and then be dunked to the right.
Pogba successfully opened a small gap for shooting, took a step forward, hit the ball hard with his right foot, and kicked it directly.
In the penalty area, Lovren quickly moved over, protecting his chest with one hand and his crotch with the other, jumping up to block it.
The result made people cry without tears. The ball hit the outside of his left calf and suddenly jumped to the left side.
Alisson was shaken hard in front of the goal line. Although he relied on his top reflexes to turn back and save the ball in an instant, it was still too late and he could only watch the ball go into the goal.
When Mourinho saw the goal, he rushed out from the coaching bench and performed a passionate slide backwards, looking extremely excited.
Klopp was squatting in the coaching area, holding his blond hair with both hands, looking unbelievable.
This goal reminded him of the two own goals against Monaco!
"God! Is Liverpool cursed again?"
In the commentary box, Berglin was extremely speechless. He also thought of the incredible own goals that Liverpool had scored this season, and looked like he was about to cry without tears.
Mo Yang also looked like he had seen a ghost, but he was looking at Lovren, the big brother.
I have never seen anyone so unlucky. He was just put back into the starting lineup by Klopp, and ended up scoring an own goal himself.
