[Little Double Red Club] + [Kante joins]
Manchester United ignited world football again just one day later.
The transfer fee of 140 million euros set a record in the history of Manchester United and also created the third highest transfer value in world football.
Even as rich as Chelsea, they cannot resist such an offer.
At the age of 27, Kanter has reached the peak of his worth.
For him, Manchester United's offer definitely gave him enough respect.
When Kante flew to Manchester to undergo a medical examination, Chelsea turned around and pursued Leicester City's Ndidi.
The 21-year-old youngster was directly acquired by Chelsea with an opening price of 35 million pounds.
At the same time, Chelsea has begun new signings.
It is said that they are interested in Higuain, who was squeezed out of his position by Cristiano Ronaldo.
But these are all things for later. Now this [Little Double Red Club], which no one paid much attention to at first, immediately attracted a large number of fans to watch online.
The global viewership once exceeded 20 million, and this was despite the fact that many countries did not broadcast the game.
This number is already quite significant. The Champions League final reached 360 million views when it was broadcast worldwide.
With tens of millions of people watching, the players from both teams slowly walked onto the court.
Lin Mo still did not start. Although he performed well in the last game, as a newcomer to the team, he will continue to be on standby today.
"Do you think there will be a fight today?" Lin Mo turned to ask Mata.
"No, what are you thinking? There are no Red Devils fans and no KopS here. Who should I call?"
Mata's words were very direct, and Lin Mo nodded.
Sometimes, without the support of fans, there will not be too much conflict in Derby, unless there is a feud before.
Today, Mata’s midfield position was started by youth training player McTominay, with Lingard and Rashford on the wings.
Matic and Herrera partnered as a double midfielder, and the rest of the position personnel remained unchanged, except that the defense partner was the center back combination of Lindelof and Maguire.
But the game entered Liverpool's rhythm from the beginning. Due to the lack of the ability to advance with the ball in the midfield, Manchester United in the deep purple jersey could not attack the half.
Under the leadership of Salah and Mane, Liverpool in white completely controlled the game.
The 8th minute of the game.
Lin Mo almost jumped up on the bench. During an attack by Liverpool, Mane picked the ball into the penalty area. Salah rubbed the football with his head in front of Lindelof.
If substitute Grant hadn't reacted quickly, Liverpool would have scored first.
Of course, it is worth mentioning here that Romero’s old knee injury has relapsed and he has left the team to recuperate.
In the 26th minute of the game, Liverpool got a penalty kick.
McTominay fouled in the penalty area and Mane made it in one fell swoop.
At this time, the ball possession rate on the field has reached 70% to 30%, and Manchester United's counterattack has made no progress.
It is difficult for Lingard and Rashford to pose a threat to Liverpool on the right.
The 31st minute of the game.
Lukaku caught the ball in front of the penalty area and was brought down, and Manchester United got a free kick.
Rashford personally took action, and the football drew a beautiful arc and fell straight into the dead center of the goal.
Grabala had no reaction.
The score became 1-1. After scoring the goal, Rashford was very excited and took off his clothes to celebrate.
This made Lin Mo and Mata on the bench, who were originally applauding, suddenly fall back, their eyes blurred, and they felt a little disgusted.
But the next time was very boring, as Liverpool attacked Manchester United's half.
But Manchester United had nothing to do. The score seemed to be 1-1, but the team always felt that there was no spirit.
Lingard actively wants to perform, but the support of his teammates is always insufficient.
The occasional chance to counterattack gradually disappeared when Rashford tried others.
In this regard, Carragher and others began to criticize Manchester United or Mourinho again.

"The missing No. 7, have you seen Manchester United's all-powerful No. 7 today? Why didn't I see it!"
Following Carragher's words, Halftime of the game is over.
Looking at the data of 71% vs. 29%, Henry couldn't help but join in.
"Manchester United without Pogba is like bread without milk, and the West has lost Jerusalem. This is simply terrible."
The host turned over the information and spoke. : "Let me tell you a set of data. In the 30th round of the Premier League last season, the 200th double-red meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United, Manchester United won the English El Clasico with 37% of the ball possession. Both goals were scored 2-1. It was created by Rashford."
Carragher looked a little ugly, but Henry was very interested: "It seems that Klopp has found a way to deal with Manchester United?"
With the commentary of several people, the second half of the game started quickly, and Lin Mo continued to sit on the bench.
But he soon couldn't sit still. Assistant coach Faria called almost all the players on the bench to warm up.
Without him
Klopp made 5 substitutions at the beginning of the second half, including Mane, Salah, Lallana, and Klavan.Even the goalkeeper was replaced by Kelleher, the main goalkeeper of U23.
No matter how deep Mourinho is, he cannot make substitutions with the opponent. He can only let the players warm up first.
Mata said while jogging next to Lin Mo: "Liverpool is starting to become more difficult. If it weren't for good luck and Rashford's explosion last season, that game would have been lost. "
"Yes, Fabinho, Milner and Lallana are all difficult opponents."
"Wait a minute and you'll get close to me. That guy is good at intercepting, but his pace is unstable and his tackling ability is very weak."
Lin Mo nodded, and the score on the field changed during the conversation between the two.
Liverpool, who had made a large number of substitutions, actually still had the upper hand. Every player on the field was full of energy, as if they were playing this game as their [Double Reds Club].
After all, those U23 players may never have the opportunity to play in such a game in their lifetime.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Solanke received a long pass from Shaqiri who came on the bench. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Solanke was controlled by Maguire and could not turn around.
But he then pushed the ball, and Milner followed up and easily pushed the ball into the far corner to score.
2 to 1
Liverpool takes the lead again!
Carragher said with a smile: "Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt are useless. You see, they have no one to replay at all. The players filling in in front of the penalty area have disappeared, and the forward is still wandering slowly in the half. , Hahahaha."
Henry agreed: "I haven't found No. 7 in the picture yet. Is he learning invisibility?"
The host answered at this time. He said: "Nonsense, isn't it No. 7 Milner who scored the goal?"
The studio suddenly burst into laughter.
At this time, Mourinho was writing a small note while making substitution adjustments.
Smalling replaced Lindelof, Phil Jones replaced Maguire, Tahith Chong replaced McTominay, Mata replaced Herrera, and finally, Lin Mo replaced Lukaku.
Although the final substitution was a bit strange, when Lin Mo handed the note to Rashford and Lingard, nothing was strange.
Lin Mo came to the right, and Lingard switched to the left.
Rashford came to the center and served as center.
In this way, Manchester United's midfield combination becomes Tahith Chong partnering Mata and Matic.
Although it is strange, it makes sense.
However, it went even further. Klopp replaced 6 more people without considering the score and the game situation.
High EQ: A rare opportunity for derby training.
Low emotional intelligence statement: Manchester United has no power to fight back.
Milner,Solanke, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Camacho and Moreno were all replaced.
Sturridge, Gomez, Jones, Chi Rivera, Robertson, and Grujic were replaced.
The game started to take a strange direction.
Even Carragher and Henry expressed their reaction to Klopp replacing all starting players, including the goalkeeper, in the 53rd minute:
This is difficult to comment on!
