Chapter 746: Only Scoring in Every Match Will Satisfy You

Considering they were playing at home, Manchester United tried to suppress their opponent from the start, hoping to give Liwupu a shock right out of the gate.

Liwupu valued their defense highly, but that did not mean they could easily handle Manchester United's attack.

Rashford drove straight down the wing.

One-on-one against Alexander-Arnold!

With a simple adjustment, Rashford did not choose to force his way past; instead, he passed to Luke Shaw, who was running toward the byline nearby.

"Wow!!!"

"Go, go!"

"Shaw!!"

Konaté wanted to go out to deal with Luke Shaw, but Alisson shouted him back.

Because Manchester United was already ready to pass!

Slap!

The cross came in; Luke Shaw's target was Cristiano Ronaldo in the center!

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Header!"

Boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo launched a powerful header, but Alisson successfully blocked it.

"Beautiful!"

Robertson and Wan-Bissaka fought for the landing spot.

Wan-Bissaka got to the ball first, but Robertson snatched it away.

!

Wan-Bissaka was certainly no slacker; he immediately pressed right there and kicked the ball out for a throw-in.

A throw-in for Liwupu!

"Back, back!"

Cristiano Ronaldo gave a simple command, then drifted toward the wing.

Liwupu threw the ball in!

Fan Daike trapped the ball; Robertson ran over and launched a long pass straight out.

"Oh!"

To avoid Manchester United's midfield defensive line, Liwupu could be said to have racked their brains.

It seemed somewhat crude, but the effect was indeed quite obvious.

Salah!

Using his thigh to cushion the ball to his calf, then tapping it onto the grass, Salah executed a Messi-style stop.

"Oh! Beautiful!"

"The speed is very fast; Manchester United needs to be careful now."

"Firmino is calling for the ball. Salah... no rush, choosing to take it on himself first."

At this moment, Salah displayed his excellent match experience.

Taking advantage of Luke Shaw not having returned yet, he first applied pressure on De Ligt.

The Dutchman was never fast to begin with; with a series of agile changes of direction, Salah easily shook him off.

"Oh!!!"

The situation became even worse.

Slap slap!

Combining with Firmino, Salah regained possession.

Slap!

A shot was fired.

"De Gea!"

"Beautiful! De Gea!"

"Haha, the Guanyin sits on the lotus!"

De Gea helped his team with his most proficient goalkeeping move!

"Beep beep beep beep!!!"

"Wow!!!!"

Klopp's facial muscles were tense; in the camera, his gleaming, shining teeth were clearly visible: "Damn!"

"Be a little careful!"

De Gea roared at De Ligt: "Drop back a bit; like this, we're in danger!"

"Don't get beaten one-on-one!"

Facing the education of a Manchester United veteran, De Ligt kept his lips tightly shut, daring not to speak.

"Just be a little careful."

Varane also emphasized this slightly to De Ligt.

"Hiss..."

Tang Ye and Rodri exchanged a glance; both felt immense pressure weighing on them.

"Liwupu is simply preparing to defeat Manchester United using Manchester United's own specialty: the counter-attack..."

One can only say this is how teams in the top five leagues are; as soon as one team finds a tactic capable of toppling the league leader, countless other teams will immediately follow suit and emulate it.

But...

This tactic of Liwupu actually has a slight problem.

Counter-attacking starts with defense first and foremost.

Whether Liwupu's defense can perfectly handle Man United's attack is a question worth discussing.

Crack!

A long-range grounded through ball is delivered; the ball curves slightly behind Robertson before naturally arriving at Dembélé's feet.

"Beautiful!"

A stunning through ball, but seeing that the passer is Man United's number 10, ggbond, makes it all seem perfectly natural.

Dembélé pushes forward, extending his foot to easily control the ball.

A chance is about to begin!

"Go, go!"

"Ousmane!"

Quickly approaching the byline, before Robertson can track back into position, the Man United striker delivers his cross.

Crack!

The pass goes to the center!

It's an inverted triangle!

Cristiano Ronaldo makes a rapid forward run into the penalty area to draw defenders.

Tang Ye in the center also moves forward at this moment.

"Hmm..."

Feeling the position is quite good, Tang Ye reflexively lifts his right leg.

Crack!

"What the fuck!"

The English commentator shouts as Tang Ye unleashes a world-class volley with the outside of his foot.

Alisson!

Jumps up!

Alisson's reaction is actually very fast.

But unfortunately, he still fails to save Tang Ye's shot.

"Gooo——aaaa——llll!!!!"

"Goal!"

"Goal!"

"Beautiful! Haha!"

"That's a world-class strike!"

A nearly perfect shot; the fans in the stands, who were already standing, leap straight up.

Tang Ye shows no hesitation either, decisively running toward the stands.

"Roar——!!!!"

Bang!

Tang Ye collides with Ten Hag.

Nearly knocking Ten Hag to the ground, Tang Ye quickly helps the coach up.

"Nice! Nice!"

"Haha!"

Check Dongqiu Di live match report: 18th minute of the first half, Tang Ye scores with an heaven-defying outside-of-the-foot volley, Man United leads Liwupu 1:0.

【????】

【Awesome】

【Truly nothing more to say; indeed, to deal with Liwupu, we must let our Tang Tang Qiuwang do it】

【Oh God!】

【Alisson is dumbfounded, haha!】

Modrić's outside-of-the-foot world-class strike from the 2018 World Cup remains unforgettable, and he was even once considered the player with the most outstanding outside-of-the-foot volley technique in history.

But ever since Tang Ye completed his goal today, his number of outside-of-the-foot volley goals has already surpassed Modrić's.

"Vamos!"

Rodri shouts, pulling Tang Ye into a tight embrace.

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Bravo Tom!"

"..."

Having conceded the first goal, the Liwupu players on the field are quickly mocked; indeed, a large contingent of Man United fans even sing "You'll Never Walk Alone," purely to disgust their opponents.

"..."

The Channel 5 broadcast studio feels slightly awkward.

At the start of the match, Zhan Jun stated that there was no strict hierarchical gap between Liwupu and Man United.

But now it seems, at least judging by the situation at the 20th minute, Zhan Jun's words were largely incorrect.

"Hmm... if Liwupu now wants to equalize, I think they should create more chances through set pieces, because only then can they directly threaten the Man United goal."

"Or if Liwupu has the confidence to break through Manchester United's midfield defense, then I think that could also become a plan."

Manchester United's midfield defense, worth over 500 million euros, is certainly formidable, but as long as they are human, they will inevitably make mistakes.

What the commentator said was exactly what Klopp was currently thinking in his heart.

Alisson's long pass reached the backfield; Henderson controlled it with his chest and passed it to Jota.

Jota pulled out to the left flank!

After the Manchester United defenders followed him over, Jota suddenly cut inside, transferring possession to Milner, who was making a supporting run through the center.

Milner and Firmino executed another combination play, and finally, the ball successfully reached Salah's feet.

Throughout the entire sequence, Rodri and De Jong could do nothing.

Manchester United's two defensive midfielders had been played like dogs on a leash!

Salah encountered a defender up front and, as expected, passed back to Keita.

A one-two pass was executed; Salah regained possession and decisively launched an assault on the Manchester United penalty area.

Crack!

The shot was taken, grazing the right-hand post.

As the team's last line of defense, De Gea was powerless to stop it.

"Beautiful!"

"Goal!"

"1:1"

Being ranked third in the Premier League, Liwupu certainly possesses strength.

Manchester United had simply been too relaxed!

Tang Ye and Rodri looked at each other in dismay.

"You should have come back."

Rodri sighed.
