1347 The Peak Is Coming

Manchester United did not show any ability to threaten Liverpool at Anfield. They devoted their main energy to defense, which also made Liverpool fail even if they tried to make another victory at the last moment.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

The information recorded on the big screen will no longer change.

Liverpool 1:0 Manchester United.

Anfield echoed the Red Army's team song, and the fans held up their scarves to bid farewell to the Red Army's last home game of the Champions League this season!

In the next round, Liverpool will move to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United, and then regardless of whether they can reach the final, they will not return to Anfield.

"The first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at Anfield came to an end. Liverpool beat Manchester United 1-0 at home with Raul's golden goal. In this way, Liverpool has the upper hand and has a certain lead. They will I will be more confident and calm when facing Manchester United in the next round. Manchester United needs to break Liverpool's goal at home to have the possibility of advancing to the final. We will see you again at Old Trafford!"

After the game, Koeman with a serious face shook hands with Ferguson after the game.

The two coaches have different thoughts, and Ferguson can't say how disappointed. At least the current score makes Manchester United look like they have not been completely kicked out.

Although Liverpool can’t be said to have steadily entered the Champions League final, Koeman doesn’t care about the seemingly weak advantage in the score. He is very satisfied with the process of the game, and the overall content presented can make him more confident. Regardless of the score.

At the post-match press conference, Koeman was not as disappointed as the outside media expected, but was in high spirits.

"The players are savoring the game and I think we're going to be at the top. There was a fantastic atmosphere at Anfield tonight, but it never let our players relax, they were always focused on their game. Showing the must The confidence to win and the trust in each other. I'm really happy for the performance of the players, each of them played really well tonight."

"Our focus, our urgency and the speed of our passing were excellent, absolutely top notch performances. We had more chances and more threats in the second half, although Van der Sar's performance was very brave. Raul's goal showed us that Van der Sar can be beaten."

When talking about the arrangement of the starting lineup, Koeman said: "The continuity of playing this kind of game selection has given us good experience and dedication. I have Dirk, Raul, Meireles, Tio It's a really good pick, we have drafting issues, but that's exactly what we want."

"Thinking about Sunday's game. Against Newcastle United I might make a big adjustment because we're playing Manchester United in the middle of next week. Our fans shouldn't be disappointed that we didn't take more chances to score. , but overall we were happy with our performance. Especially in the second half, we really had a lot of really good chances."

Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar's performance was miraculous, and Koeman couldn't help but comment after the game: "He is very good, I know he may have to retire. His performance is the best goalkeeper I have seen in Manchester United games The scene where he made so many saves made me worry that we might not be able to get the goal no matter how much we put in, and of course, in the end Raúl scored. It's a great result!"

Perhaps in the eyes of the outside media, Liverpool's current state should face all opponents to kill the opponent's crap, or to beat the world with passion.

The 1:0 result of this game is a little flat.

Of course, this is based on results.

Liverpool should be very disappointed if they didn't win three or four opponents.

But Koeman did not express such emotions, on the contrary, he was very happy.Proud of the team's performance.

He even released bold words that Hongju is about to usher in its peak!

This is not difficult to understand, as the Dutch.Koeman has seen too many passionate attacks against the gorgeous Tulip Legion.

Generation after generation of uncrowned kings almost always use offense to destroy their opponents, but in the end they die from passionate offense.

Now Liverpool can play a way to suppress the opponent in the game against Manchester United without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack and score.This is actually very rare!

Even if Manchester United threatened and created a dangerous situation in the counterattack, not scoring is a hard indicator.

In history, many teams with gorgeous offensive and passionate play were eventually stifled by defensive counterattacks.

It is a huge leap for Liverpool to be able to retract freely now!

This is a qualitative difference.

Therefore, Koeman doesn't care at all whether the team's weak advantage of leading Manchester United by one goal can bring a better foundation for the second round. What he cares about is being able to suppress Manchester United, and the team's defense does not lose the ball!

When Ferguson attended the post-match press conference, he said lightly: "Manchester United performed well today. We had a chance to take the lead at Anfield. Maybe if we scored the first goal, Liverpool would have no chance to break Manchester United's goal. , no matter what, this is football! Maybe you will hold on to the result of Manchester United's loss to magnify the difficulties Manchester United is in and the difficulties they are facing. In my eyes, this is not the case. In 180 minutes of the game, Liverpool scored first , There are still 90 minutes, as long as Manchester United scores a goal, the game will return to the original point.

And don't forget, the next leg will be played at Old Trafford, and Manchester United will have the home advantage. "

The current result is quite satisfactory. It can be said that Manchester United lost the game as expected, but they have not been completely eliminated.

The next day, Fleet Street media not only paid attention to the results of the England derby, but also made heavy reports on the moving scenes after the game!

"The immortal legend of the Red Devil!"

"When Raúl stepped up to swap jerseys with Ryan Giggs moments after the game, the two legends with the most appearances in the Champions League created a touching scene.

Today's Ryan Giggs, every appearance means a new record, and the starting game against Liverpool is no exception.His 125th UEFA Champions League game came second after Raul, and his 141 European club games made Giggs surpass Carragher to become the No. 1 British player. "

Liverpool and Manchester United are mortal enemies, but after the game, many fans applauded the two legends. They will leave one day, but now every picture they leave to the fans will become classic. (to be continued~^~)
