A score of 3-3 is a lot even for the whole game, let alone half-time.
Therefore, everyone was very excited. During the halftime break, they were still talking about the goals in the first half and were full of expectations for what the two sides would do in the second half.
In fact, Manchester United performed extremely well today. It was very unexpected to score three goals in the first half against Liverpool's defense led by Willard.
With Willard's shooting skills and Liverpool's attacking power, it is normal to score three goals against the opponent.
The 15 minutes of intermission interrupted Manchester United's extraordinary explosive state in the first half.
After the 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. After the start of the second half of the game, although Manchester United continued to implement Mourinho and Liverpool's offensive tactics, they never achieved as brilliant a result as they did in the first half. It worked.
Liverpool's normal performance continued to break Manchester United's goal in the second half.
In the 58th minute, Villard made a pass from the right. Mane fought for the top of the penalty area and headed the ball. The retreating Firmino volleyed the ball from the line of the penalty area and successfully scored the ball into Manchester United. goal.
Liverpool rewritten the score to 4-3 and regained the lead.
This time, Manchester United failed to equalize the score in time. Although they pressed forward aggressively under Mourinho's command, they not only failed to equalize the score, but conceded another goal in the 67th minute.
This was a pass from Firmino after he switched to the left wing. Verard jumped high in the penalty area and beat Manchester United center backs Smalling and Bailly to grab the first point. Headbutted the ball into the Red Devils' goal.
"Oh, Liverpool scored again."
"It was a header from Velarde, he has already scored a hat-trick."
"Liverpool leads Manchester United 5-3. The Red Army has led by two goals for the first time in this game. I don't know if Manchester United can get back."
"The disadvantage of two goals is very big in a football match, but Manchester United was in very good shape in the first half today. I don't know if the Red Devils can regain their form in the first half."
Now, Manchester United's state in the first half can no longer be regained. Although Mourinho replaced two people and strengthened the offense, he failed to score even a single goal in the remaining time.
On the contrary, it was Liverpool. In the 86th minute before the end of the game, Willard took a free kick that bypassed the wall. However, his arcing skills were not good enough and finally hit the post and bounced into the penalty area. But the second landing point of the ball was not grabbed by a Manchester United player, but by Mane who was standing near the goal post.
He got ahead of Herrera, kicked the ball into the goal with a kick.
In the end, Liverpool defeated their arch-enemy Manchester United 6-3 at home, winning this dazzling double-red match.
After winning this game, Liverpool overtook Manchester City by 2 points and regained the top spot in the standings with a 2-point advantage. Manchester City was tied with Everton in this round, and Liverpool opened up a 2-point gap.
Liverpool's journey to win the first Premier League championship in team history seems to be relatively smooth at present.
This 6-3 offensive battle also aroused heated discussion among the media and fans after the game. Obviously, this double red meeting, especially the first half of the game, was very exciting.
At the end of the game, both sides scored a total of 9 goals. This score and goal, which is not seen in most football matches, appeared in this powerful dialogue.
Many neutral fans enjoyed watching it.
Of course, the Liverpool people were also very happy. After all, they defeated their mortal enemy and won by three goals.
In contrast, Manchester United is not very happy. They were originally ranked relatively low, and they lost to their mortal enemy. It seems that although they have a new coach, they are still the famous Magic Bird, but the magic of Magic Bird seems to be disappearing, and it will be difficult to lead the Red Devils to the Premier League championship this season.
Once Liverpool wins the Premier League title this season, the two sides will be equal in number of England's top league titles.
How can this make Manchester United people happy?
But no matter what, life goes on, and the Liverpool players don't care what their rivals think. Anyway, they won the game, took all three points, were full of momentum, and ambitiously wanted to make a difference on all fronts.
After finishing the league match against their arch-rivals the Red Devils, Liverpool immediately flew to Croatia to prepare for an away game in the third round of the Champions League group stage.
At 20:45 in the evening on October 18, with the whistle of the referee Michael Oliver, the third round of Group H of the 2016/2017 UEFA Champions League match between Dinamo Zagreb and Liverpool was filled with more than 30,000 people. The Maximir Stadium officially begins.
Because Mignolet conceded three goals against Manchester United in the last round, Karius was replaced as the starter for this game. Karius is slightly better than Mignolet in terms of goal-line reaction and saving ability. As long as he doesn't make low-level mistakes, he is still more reassuring than Mignolet.
Dynamo lost to Lyon 0-3 and Juventus 0-4 in the first two rounds. Under normal circumstances, the third round becomes a life and death battle. If they don't give it a try, they will be eliminated in the group stage. .
As a result, in this game, Dinamo Zagreb surprisingly did not send out an offensive lineup to try to fight back. Instead, they sent out a 532 defensive counterattack formation. They defended at the beginning and counterattacked when they had the opportunity. As soon as the ball was lost, the whole team was defeated. Desperately returning to defense, there is not much determination to attack at all.
This style of play proves that Dynamo has accepted its fate and believes that it is impossible to qualify for the group, or even to qualify for the Europa League in third place. From the moment the group draw ended, Dinamo Zagreb was destined to become the weakest player in this group, giving away points.
In what was supposed to be a life-or-death battle for Dinamo Zagreb, when the home team fielded such a lineup, the outcome was doomed.
Dynamo finally accepted their fate.
The progress of the game also proved the wisdom of Dinamo Zagreb. If they had not admitted defeat before the game and sent out a lineup mainly composed of defensive players to defend, it is unclear how many more goals they would have lost.
Even with such a stubborn defense and playing at home, Dinamo Zagreb was still scored five times by Liverpool.
Among them, Willard staged a good show of scoring a goal and assisting twice. Had it not been for Dynamo's luck, it's possible that Velarde or his teammates would have scored more goals.
However, even so, a 5-0 victory was still satisfactory.
For Dinamo Zagreb, especially their players, the first half was very unsatisfactory. But now that I see this score, I have nothing to say.
If the head coach had not sent out a 532 defensive formation, if he had really fought against Liverpool, his own defense would have definitely leaked into a sieve, and Liverpool would continue to score goals, and in the end it would have been a tragedy.
Although 0-5 is already considered miserable, it is still much better than 0-7, 0-8 and so on!
If you act impulsively and go to play against Liverpool, you might end up like Swansea, where Liverpool staged an 8-1 super massacre and became a shame in team history.
