Chapter 392 The Most Mortal Enemy, Still Strong Despite Old Age

On the sidelines, Mourinho and Klopp shook hands gently and let go in an instant.

Before coming to Manchester United, the two had always had a good relationship.

In the media, both sides expressed their appreciation for each other.

Both are people of temperament.

But today, the two did not express too much goodwill.

After all, they are the coaches of mortal rival clubs, and now they must draw a clear line.

Klopp joined Liverpool last season. In his first season as Liverpool coach, he failed to lead the team into the European war zone.

Despite this, the management still trusts him, gives him time, power, and financial investment.

In this way, Klopp is more confident to adjust the team and build a lineup according to his ideal state.

So far this season, Liverpool has been in the European war zone.

Although it swings between fourth and fifth place, it is obvious that the overall strength and state are much stronger than last season.

Especially the striker.

This summer, they spent 41.2 million euros to buy Southampton's talented striker Mane.

The 24-year-old Senegalese boy just joined the team and conquered his teammates with his excellent ball control and shooting skills.

So far, he has scored 5 goals in 7 Premier League games.

Highly effective.

And this is only part of his outstanding performance.

Because of his joining, teammates such as Firmino and Coutinho can also attack more freely and face less defensive pressure.

So far this season, Coutinho and Firmino have scored 15 league goals together.

This efficiency has improved a lot compared to last season.

Especially Coutinho, who is known as the first attacking midfielder in the Premier League, even surpassing Hazard who is in excellent form.

Indeed, looking at the last few seasons alone, his comprehensiveness is better than Hazard.

He has become Liverpool's absolute thigh and has become the target of countless giants.

Maybe he doesn't have much time to stay in Liverpool.

But no matter what, he is still the Red Army's No. 10 and the Red Army's offensive core.

In this game, Liverpool relied on the cooperation of three people to launch a fierce attack at the beginning.

Mane broke through with the ball and attacked Manchester United's defense along the right side!

The opposite Xia Xing rushed up!

Mane didn't fight hard, he knew Xia Xing's strength very well.

Pass the ball sideways!

Pass it to Henderson in the middle!

Continue to accelerate and sprint!

At this time, Xia Xing moved to the middle and passed the left side to Ashley Young!

Just what Mane wanted!

Henderson paused for a moment, waited for Xia Xing to get closer, and made a diagonal pass!

The ball passed between Ashley Young and Smalling!

Ashley Young was not slow, but Mane was faster!

Received the ball in the penalty area, one body ahead of Ashley Young!

Quick lob shot!

The ball went into the net at a small angle!

1-0!

Liverpool scored the first goal!

Manchester United lost the ball less than ten minutes after the start, and they were a little anxious.

Soon, they became more anxious.

This time it was Mane's breakthrough again, but he quickly chose a long pass!

The ball went straight to the other side of the court!

Coutinho stopped the ball steadily!

Carrick quickly grabbed the ball!

Coutinho accelerated and sprinted, shaking off the Manchester United vice-captain!

Facing Valencia, he suddenly cut inside!

He avoided the angle and shot into the far corner!

A world wave!

The ball went into the net!

2-0!

Liverpool scored another goal!

Less than 20 minutes after the start, Liverpool scored two goals in a row. They were in good shape today.

Obviously better than Manchester United.

The whole Manchester United team was very depressed, especially the defense. Even De Gea was not in good shape.

Only Xia Xing still went all out.

But besides him, there was another person who was equally outstanding!

That was captain Rooney!

After Liverpool scored two goals in a row, Rooney started to shout for the ball in the frontcourt!

"Xia! Here!"

Xia Xing did not hesitate and passed the ball decisively!

The Liverpool players found it funny.

You are so obviously intending to pass the ball. Are you afraid that we don't know?

Rooney doesn't care!

Even if you know, what can you do?

In front of the penalty area, Rooney took the ball with his back.

With Emre Can on his back, he suddenly turned to the right!

Then he quickly turned to the left!

It was a fake move!

Emre Can was thrown off!

Low shot!

Decisive and straightforward!

The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal!

2 to 1!

Manchester United scored a goal!

This goal is very beautiful!

It is a complete reflection of Rooney's personal ability!

Even though his current body, speed and flexibility are not as good as before, his footwork and experience are still at the top level!

Under the inspiration of the captain, Manchester United continued to attack!

In the 38th minute of the game, Rooney got the ball in the frontcourt again.

This time it was still Xia Xing's pass!

Xia Xing has great trust in the Manchester United captain!

And he also saw that Rooney was in good shape today and was very excited!

Rooney received the ball head-on this time, facing Liverpool captain Henderson.

The contest between the two captains!

Rooney made continuous feints, but failed to shake Henderson off!

He collided with his body and failed to break through successfully!

Then, pass the ball!

What is needed now is a goal, not a fight!

The ball was passed to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, and Rooney accelerated diagonally around Henderson!

At this time, Henderson was distracted by the pass!

When Ibrahimovic chose to knock back, he was shocked!

Trouble!

But, it's over!

Rooney received the ball outside the penalty area, 28 meters away from the goal, and kicked the ball without stopping!

The ball blasted a beam of light!

Straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

It went into the net!

2 to 2!

Manchester United tied the score!

This shot was amazing!

Manchester United captain scored twice!

However, it's not over yet!

The two sides tied the score, but they still didn't give up!

Quick attack, fierce attack!

Both sides didn't hold back!

Xia Xing rushed on the left side!

Although Rooney scored two goals in a row, the Liverpool players were most afraid of Xia Xing.

As soon as they saw Xia Xing break through with the ball, two or three people surrounded him instantly.

If you can't steal the ball, then knock him down!

After a wave of pulling and dragging, Xia Xing was finally pulled down by Henderson.

A yellow card, Liverpool people don't care.

This position is on the left side of the penalty area, and Xia Xing is ready.

At this time, Liverpool players in the penalty area were fully defending, especially guarding Ibrahimovic, Smalling and other header players.

However, they did not expect that Xia Xing did not choose to cross the ball this time!

Instead, he knocked it sideways!

The ball came to the outside of the penalty area!

Manchester United captain Rooney won the ball!

Without stopping the ball, he kicked and shot!

The ball exploded into the net like a cannonball!

"The ball went in!

"3 to 2!

"Manchester United overtook the score in the injury time of the first half!

"From 0 to 2 to 3 to 2!

"Manchester United did it!

"They were so tenacious today!

"Especially their captain Rooney, who scored a hat trick in just half a game!

"His performance is world-class!

"As a former Everton player and a current Manchester United player, he has added a double buff!

"He is Liverpool's biggest enemy!

"The purest enemy!

"Today at Anfield, the Red Army was severely damaged!

"The Manchester United captain is still strong!

"The heroic spirit is still there! ”
