Chapter 593 The Battle of Titans: Liverpool's Red Card Tactics? (Major Revision)
The Times – Psychologists say TY feels intense guilt over his mistake, which could very well affect his performance.

Not only The Times, but many newspapers share the same view.

The second Manchester derby of the 19-20 season has not yet begun, but Manchester United is already at a disadvantage, which could very well become an opportunity for Liverpool.

Attached is the 2019-2020 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 22):

1. Manchester United, 60 points.

2. Liverpool, 57 points.

3. Manchester City, 50 points.

4. Chelsea, 46 points.

5. Leicester City, 40 points.

……

Time quickly came to January 19th, the third day since Tang Ye returned to the base, and also the day of the crucial Premier League match between the two Manchester United teams.

Anfield Stadium!

"Walk on walk on with hope in your heart!"

"And you will never walk alone!"

"Liverpool Liverpool!"

This match is crucial for both sides.

If Manchester United can win, they can widen the gap between themselves and Liverpool to 6 points.

A 3-point difference is average, but a 6-point difference is very safe!

This is especially true for Liverpool, as it presents them with a very good opportunity to pursue their advantage.

"If Liverpool loses this game, they're finished!"

A fan wearing a red jersey shouted at the camera.

The fans were initially all surrounding the reporters, but after the bus arrived, they shifted their focus to the bus itself.

Judging from the squad list, Liverpool should be fielding their standard starting lineup today.

“Salah!”

“Mo Salah-la-la-la…”

"Egyptian King!"

……

Forwarded: The starting lineups for the crucial Premier League match of Round 23 have been announced. Tang Ye will start against Henderson, while Rashford will face off against Arnold.

[Wow, this is a real first release! Didn't he just get back?]

[Can we please not bring on Arnold? How is Arnold supposed to defend against Rashford?]

[Arnold: Do you want to see my 45-degree cross?]

【Tang Ball King】

"Cheer up, everyone! Cheer up!"

In the locker room, Ten Hag was giving the players a final pep talk.

"I won't emphasize how important this match is anymore, because you all should already know it."

Tang Ye squatted on the ground, focusing his attention on the magnetic flags of various colors on the tactical board.

Mr. Eric's tactics in today's game were basically the same as before, which made Tang Ye very worried.

If Manchester United were to use outdated tactics against a super team like Liverpool, wouldn't they be completely outmaneuvered?

However, Mr. Eric seems very confident in his team, so Tang Ye has no choice but to stand behind the coach.

Go, Mr. Eric!
Come on, Manchester United!

……

"Tom"

Mane and Van Dijk each hugged Tang Ye.

They were greeting Tang Ye, but Tang Ye was far too sensitive.

He could see the threat in Mane and Van Dijk's expressions.

Liverpool players are determined to win the game!
"It seems we need to be careful."

Tang Ye found Dembele next to him and spoke in a voice that no one else could hear.

"China Media Group! Good evening, viewers. You are now watching the 19-20 Premier League season..."

Liverpool, currently second in the league standings, will host Manchester United, who are in first place, at Anfield!

Beep! ! !
“The game begins!”

Liverpool (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Alisson
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson

Midfielders: Chamberlain, Henderson, Wijnaldum
Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane

Head Coach: Klopp

Klopp was still wearing his hat as always, which had almost become his trademark.

In stark contrast to Klopp is the away team's manager, Erik ten Hag.

It drizzled today, but Ten Hach still had his head shaved.

British rain is very dirty; if you get wet too much, you'll go bald.

Ten Hag, however, does not share this concern; he is only worried that his team will not be able to win this match.

At the start of the first half, Liverpool immediately showcased their high-pressing tactics.

The attacking trident of Salah, Firmino, and Mane launched an assault on the player with the ball.

Faced with pressure, Rodri was forced to pass back to Luke Shaw.

Right after Rodri passed the ball, Salah sprinted straight toward Luke Shaw in an arc.

They were very fast, and they were carrying Firmino, so Rodri couldn't even make a run to receive their pass.

hiss!
Luke Shaw is looking for a path to pass the ball forward.

But none was found.

Snapped!
A cross to De Gea in the penalty area!

Mane ran toward De Gea!

"Oh!!!"

At this moment, Mane was less than 3 meters away from De Gea.

De Gea adjusted his position, and now the two were only a little over 2 meters apart.

Snapped!
With no other option, De Gea kicked the ball out of bounds with a long kick.

Oh!

"Liverpool's pressing at the start was very effective!"

"Yes, that's right, both the defenders and the goalkeeper have been contained."

In the shot, De Gea stands with his hands on his hips, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Come back and pick it up!"

“They’re all their people!”

Such a dangerous situation right from the start; even a veteran like De Gea is struggling to maintain his composure.

Tang Ye and Henderson stood together; the Manchester United midfielder wasn't in great form either. He was quite sensitive to the situation on the field.

In Tang Ye's view, the situation had completely tilted in Liverpool's favor.

This is a sign that a goal is about to be scored!

"You can just go back and provide backup!"

Tang Ye shouted to De Rong, "Don't worry about me, you can go back whenever you want!"

"it's okay no problem!"

"Hmm, it's clear that Klopp has done a lot of preparation for this match..."

"Yes, in addition to the frequent pressing by the attacking trident, we also saw Dortmund's midfield jumping in Liverpool's attacking tactics."

Due to the mismatch between time costs and benefits, many Premier League teams did not choose to implement the methods to deal with Manchester United, even though they knew them.

But for Liverpool, if they can use this tactic to defeat Manchester United, the benefits will be substantial.

The rewards were so generous that Klopp had the players undergo targeted training two weeks before the match.

Time quickly came to the 14th minute of the first half.

The home team had nearly 70% possession, and Manchester United players were playing very frustratingly.

But there was nothing they could do, because Liverpool's pressing and tackling were simply perfect.

He dribbled the ball towards the baseline.

Make a few small movements and change the rhythm.

Finding a suitable opportunity, Salah passed the ball to Arnold behind him.

Arnold!
Snapped!
Take a direct shot towards the penalty area.

Firmino wins the first point!
The header was passed back to Wijnaldum behind him!

Pass to Henderson again!
Swing your leg!

boom!
He unleashed a long-range shot, but De Ligt blocked it with his body.

After the ball was blocked, it flew very high, and Rodri and Arnold got into a tangle again.

They're fighting for that ball that's about to fall!

"what!"

Rodri was better, giving possession to Rashford!

However, Rashford was dispossessed as soon as he got the ball.

Tang Ye won the ball back!

ok!

Although the situation on the field was somewhat chaotic, at least Tang Ye managed to get the ball.

Adjusting his body orientation, Tang Ye prepared to pass the ball.

boom!
Chamberlain pushed Tang Ye off the sideline.

Nima!

Tang Ye was naturally unconvinced and quickly went up again, where he and Chamberlain got into a fight.

What started as a simple physical collision escalated into a physical altercation between the two.

Chamberlain was no match for Tang Ye, and was knocked to the ground in just a few seconds!

"Oh!!!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

Henderson pushed Tang Ye away, and players from both sides rushed forward.

Henderson tried to push Tang Ye again, but Rodri shoved him away, yelling, "Get out of here!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

"xuuuu!!!"

Tang Ye's push sparked outrage among Liverpool fans.

However, it was actually Chamberlain who used his hand first, so Tang Ye did not feel guilty.

As Tang Ye lifted his shirt to wipe away sweat, fans noticed several bloodstains on his waist, clearly caused by the earlier conflict.

Chamberlain wasn't much better off.

Compared to the injured Tang Ye, he was pushed down but was not injured, though he was very embarrassed.

"Beep!"

The referee was about to draw a card when Tang Ye ran up and said, "No, he attacked first! Did you see that clearly?"

The referee showed Tang Ye a yellow card.

Tang Ye wanted to go up and argue, but Rashford stopped him.

"Calm down, calm down, you already have a yellow card."

This match was already tough to play, and if Tang Ye suddenly got a red card, it would be a disaster.

"Depend on!"

Tang Ye used his shoe nails to lift up the turf on the ground.

Tom is being targeted.

Van der Gach shook his head on the bench: "Their people are disgusting, this was clearly intentional."

"..."

Ten Hach didn't speak, but stared at Klopp in the distance with a very unfriendly expression.

Whether it was Chamberlain's own idea or Klopp's arrangement, Ten Hach directly assumed it was Klopp's scheme.

You think Liverpool's tactics today were three forwards pressing and midfield jumping?

No, it is not.

Liverpool's core tactic today was to create cards.

No amount of pressing or jumping is as effective as kicking the opposing captain out of the game!
hiss--

Ten Hah felt a faint chill run down his spine.

"be careful!"

“Beep beep beep!!”

"xuuuu!!!"

Liverpool fans booed whenever Tang Ye got the ball.

Swish!

Get the ball and get past Henderson in front of you!

Tang Ye used his skills to turn the boos from the stands into screams, but of course, that wasn't the end of it.

He dribbled the ball towards the top of the arc, while signaling to his teammates on both sides to move up quickly.

Rashford and Dembele!

Snapped!
The through ball was delivered, and Tang Ye's pass hit near the penalty area, bounced up, and naturally came to Dembele's feet.

Dembele controlled the ball with a lift of his foot!
Wow!!!
