Point. Penalty? !
The mouths of the fans in the stands at Old Trafford watched in disbelief as Atkinson pointed to the penalty spot.
Atkinson did award a penalty!
The game is less than 4 minutes now! !
The fans booed, regardless of whether Smalling handballed in the penalty area or not, the fans don't care about it, as long as the referee awards a penalty for their home team, it is a black call, and only the home team will be given a penalty. The ball is a good referee!
Smalling held his head in his hands. He finally got the chance to start. He just wanted to do a good job, show his strength, and try his best to get more playing time for himself in the future.
But as soon as he came up and gave Liverpool a penalty, his rating in Ancelotti's heart would be even lower.
He approached the referee, trying to explain what he had just done.
"My handball was unintentional, I didn't see it when the football came"
Li Qingshan also came over, as the captain, he has the right to come over to understand the situation at this time.
"Not all balls hit by injuries are penalties, Mr. Referee, you are too harsh on the home team!" Li Qingshan tried to influence the referee's judgment.
But Atkinson's face was calm, and he waved his hand: "So I didn't give you a yellow card, but it was a penalty kick. The football hit your hand and changed the line, ruining an attack."
The protests of the Manchester United players were invalid, and the referee upheld the original judgment-in fact, such protests are rarely effective. As long as the referee makes a penalty, he will not easily make changes.
"Penalty kick!? The referee awarded a penalty kick!!" Duan Xuan was also a little dumbfounded. In the commentary booth, he couldn't see the details of the field clearly.
Fortunately, the big screen at the scene helped him.
Slow motion replays everything that just happened in the restricted area.
When Milner crossed, Smalling closely followed Sturridge, who was running. Facing Sturridge, who wanted to grab a spot in the penalty area, Smalling went up to him and got stuck. position, he stretched out his right hand and stuck to Sturridge.
And the football hit his right arm at this time!
"This is an unintentional handball by Smalling, but his arm is outstretched, and there is nothing to say about the referee calling a penalty kick!" Duan Xuan shook his head.
"Manchester United's luck was really bad. A penalty kick was awarded in the first 3 minutes." Andy Gray said, "But this is also the result of Liverpool's hard work. From the beginning of the game, Liverpool's momentum was like a rainbow."
"Now the pressure is on De Gea!"
After Coutinho put the ball in place, he waited for the referee's whistle.
Atkinson blew the whistle when he saw only Coutinho and goalkeeper De Gea were left in the penalty area.
A whistle blows, Coutinho runs up, and then pushes the arch of his foot.
De Gea judged the right direction, but he still didn't stop this extremely tricky goal!
Liverpool took a one-to-zero lead! !
After the goal, the Liverpool players rushed to the corner flag area and celebrated wantonly under the noses of the Manchester United fans.
Facing the boos of Manchester United fans, Henderson clenched his fists and roared and provoked towards the stands.
United fans immediately responded with even louder boos and curses.
"Liverpool scored a penalty kick!! In the first 3 minutes, Liverpool made a fantastic start!!!"
Ancelotti's face sank, the lack of personnel in the defense made Manchester United's defense turbulent, and Liverpool's direct and fast offensive made Manchester United somewhat unprepared.
So far in the game, Manchester United has not organized an offensive well. As soon as the game started, Liverpool's momentum overwhelmed Manchester United.
Before the start of the game, Ancelotti emphasized not to underestimate the enemy, but it seems that Manchester United's players did not listen too much.
They still think that Liverpool is the same Liverpool they beat 5-[-] last time-the two sides played against each other in the last round, Liverpool was completely crushed by Manchester United, if it wasn't for the referee not allowing [-] minutes of stoppage time to make up , I'm afraid Liverpool will concede another goal-they have completely lost their fighting spirit on the court.
But this game is different, although every time before the start of the game, people always like to dig out the historical confrontation records of the two sides to analyze which team wins and what tactics the two sides should adopt.
Past performance is informative, but it's not everything.Every football game is isolated, no matter how great the advantage of the previous game is, it does not mean that when the two sides play against each other again, they can still gain such an advantage!
But the players don't think so much. Since we can play Liverpool [-]-[-] away, what's so difficult about going back to our home court and beating Liverpool again?
Such thinking is natural.
But now, Manchester United's players will pay the price for their underestimation.
Klopp raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines, the personality coach finally had a chance to be proud at Old Trafford.
Liverpool continued to create murderous intentions in the opening stage, and finally created penalty kicks through continuous offensives and scored goals.
This proves that Klopp's judgment is correct!
Manchester United has weaknesses, and their defense is by no means as strong as people think!
Although United have three players in the defensive midfield, Pogba is more inclined to attack, Herrera also often goes forward, and Fellaini or Kramer, despite their size, can defend well when defending from the front. .But what if the opponent kicks the ball behind them?The turn speed of these two big men is definitely their weakness.
Not just the defensive midfielder, Manchester United's central defender is not the case.
If it is the partner of Hummels and Rojo, Hummels has a good sense of position, and he is very calm when he is on the court.But now Hummels is injured and replaced by Smalling.Although this England central defender cannot be said to be incapable, he is always inferior to Hummels in terms of stability. He often has minor problems on the court and is frizzy.
Moreover, Smalling is tall and his turning speed is also very slow!
Klopp has watched the game between Arsenal and Manchester United carefully, especially the two goals scored by Sanchez. Klopp has watched it countless times.
Manchester United's defense did not do a good job of protecting the ball behind them!This is absolutely related to the slow turning speed of their central defenders! !
Klopp decided to target Manchester United in terms of speed!
Not just the running speed of the players, but also the speed of passing the ball!
Liverpool's several passes are very simple and direct, just looking for the space behind the two wingers, allowing Coutinho and Firmino to hit the weak point of Manchester United's defense!
It now appears that Klopp's tactics are clearly successful.
Since it works, keep playing like this for a long time!
The morale of Liverpool, which has taken the lead, is booming.
