The Old Trafford Stadium has been filled by spectators from both teams present.

The European audience is classier, there will be no commotion even though both are rivals.

Unlike the case as in Indonesia, where if there is a rival match like this, there will certainly be one party who is not allowed to attend the stadium to watch or support their team.

That's so there's no commotion.

On the Indonesian broadcast television channel, the audience which included fans from Manchester also watched this match.

"Seeing from Liverpool's statistical record at the start of the league this season, they have produced very good results."

"Different to Manchester United who only have 2 wins 3 draws and 1 defeat."

"This will certainly be another test for Manchester United."

"We also express our condolences for the death of one of the twin daughters of the Manchester United Mega star, Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Last night one of Cristiano Ronaldo's twin daughters had to die, with circumstances and situations like that of course the Mega star is not possible to come to play."

"It will be an additional test for Manchester United because of his absence on the pitch."

"It will also lighten up Liverpool's defensive line a little bit because it doesn't have to keep Cristiano."

"Even so, do not let the Liverpool defense underestimate other players" said the commentator of the Indonesian channel.

Now they are waiting for the start of this super big match.

"So will today's game be more exciting and more we look forward to watching despite the absence of the Mega star?" Asked the other commenter to try to melt the atmosphere.

"Of course, we have to watch this game."

"The only Indonesian player we will play in this game."

"So for the Manchester fans in Indonesia, if Sean scores later. We beg you not to blame him and blaspheme him."

"Because he works for his club." Said the only commenter who laughed back from other commentators again.

"We must always support Sean who has a career in Europe, he is the future and the key for our country to be able to further advance Indonesian football."

"Although there are already a lot of young players playing in Europe, we have to support Sean because at the moment all hope is on him."

"He is currently playing in the highest league of the five European leagues."

"He has also become a core squad, besides let's also support other players to immediately follow Sean's achievements."

"Well, man, we can finish because the players have already entered the field." Said another commentator.

And sure enough the screen on the television audience was also immediately diverted to the green field of Old Trafford Stadium.

The players had also lined up, Sean was leading a girl.

While waiting before shaking hands, Sean played the girl's hair with a smile but his face remained focused forward.

After a while, the players also shook hands.

Sean and his team immediately gather and wait for Virgil who is captain to determine whether to kick off or the field.

Henderson was always played in the round of 2 by the boss because his stamina has decreased.

He is played every round of 2 to neutralize the match in the remaining time so that other players do not panic and tense.

For the front line, usually the boss will change players alternately, where sometimes Joao Felix is replaced or Sean or Mbappe.

He was replaced by Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot.

If Joao Felix is replaced, then Mbappe who will be the centre-forward and who replaces Joao Felix will fill Mbappe's previous post.

Virgil arrives and explains that Manchester United took the kick off.

That way the players also prepare and immediately prepare in his position.

Sean is also on the left side of the field.

In this game, Sean was a little disappointed when he knew the Mega star could not play for the reason his daughter.

With the referee blowing the whistle kick off was started.

Manchester United players immediately do the ball possession.

They play the ball in their own territory.

Of course the Liverpool front line is not silent, they immediately run and press tight.

Because the quality of both teams is the same and the quality players in the course of the game also take place exciting as the match continues.

Where often there is a fight for the ball in midfield.

Sean also tries to always press on players who have the ball nearby.

Even he will sometimes chase the ball up to the goalkeeper.

It was Sean did because it was according to orders or instructions from the boss.

As time goes by, matches on the field are more inclined to the seizure of the ball in the middle of the field.

This really pits the quality of the midfielders of both teams.

Although the Liverpool midfield players are young, they certainly have very good quality and certainly should not be underestimated by the Manchester United midfielder.

Not to mention Liverpool's dangerous attacking line, Manchester United despite playing in their own home, they look more cautious.

Entering the 19th minute, Declan Rice managed to snatch the ball at the foot of Bruno Fernandes who dribbled too often.

Declan Rice casually gave Virgil the ball back.

Virgil Van Dijk held the ball and gave his team-mates instructions to go wide.

The players also immediately move and take advantage of the width of the field.

Virgil as a defender certainly observes how tight the midfield, so he will take advantage of the width of the field.

Virgil passes on Robertson, Robertson dribbles over the halfway line, but just past him directly on tap, Robertson also returns the ball again on Virgil.

Virgil gave it to Konate.

Konate looked ahead before passing but there was no gap.

He eventually passes on Declan Rice asking for the ball.

Declan Rice dribbled to the right side, and passed on Trent who had advanced past the halfway line.

Trent received the ball and glanced forward, the Manchester United players were immediately wary when they saw Trent behaving like this.

But Trent did not do the bait, he passed on to Aurelien who approached.

Aurelien did not linger for long and immediately made a forward pass with his breakthrough kick pass.

He wants to go to Mbappe.

Mbappe also ran behind the opposition defenders.

The two ran, but Luke Shaw, who was a senior player, lost in terms of speed by Mbappe.

Mbappe finally got the ball, he will continue dribbling in the box.

Luke Shaw came close, Mbappe also made this cut arrived.

Luke Shaw, who came in at a fast pace to cover Mbappe, lost his balance when the stop arrived.

Mbappe who escaped Luke Shaw was finally entered into the penalty.

He also slowed his movements.

Sean and Joao Felix also ran into the box.

Joao Felix moved on while Sean stayed inside the box.

Despite being in an offside position, Sean remained silent.

Mbappe also immediately fired a shot when he knew that no player had covered the shooting space.
