Liverpool's fast break twice threatened Manchester City's goal, and Manchester City also quickly launched a fast break to try to return the color.
In the 8th minute of the game, Silva received the pass from Yaya Toure on the left. Under the pressure of Henderson, Silva pulled out the space in the ball withdrawal. When a precise lateral transfer ball was sent out, the football flew to the right side of the midfield.
I saw sabaretta quickly plug in the response, one foot out of the ball to find de Brauner, the latter also one foot out of the ball cross!
Sterling ran quickly on the outside of the winger, cut in and stopped to kill the right rib of Liverpool. Robertson naturally came into the restricted area. At this time, there was space on the winger, and Sterling then skewed the ball back to the winger.
Sabaretta, who assisted all the way up, stopped the ball, adjusted one step and sent a foot and a half high ball to play behind the guard line.
Aguero's smart, oblique thrust into the area behind kulibali and hit the ball with a homeopathic shot!
The football flew to Liverpool's goal, but the angle was not sharp enough to test the Red Army goalkeeper telstegen. He easily held the ball in his arms.
Situ Yunbing thought secretly on the sideline and saw that Manchester City's posture regarded Sterling as a breakthrough point on the right. Whether it was sterling's individual blasting or sabaretta's pick-up, the opportunity always came from the right!
It's too brazen to fight like this!
If the target is too conspicuous, it does not necessarily mean that this is the real killing move that Manchester City hopes to tear open the Liverpool defence!
Regardless of Guardiola's tactical vision, Liverpool continue to try to bombard the opponent's defense according to their own ideas.
In the 11th minute of the game, Gareth bell dribbled forward after picking up on the right. Facing the attack of krarov and Yaya Toure, Gareth bell tried to hit the wall with mbape, but after he went down, he found that his space was compressed to the extreme!
Krarov immediately grabbed the ball, Gareth bell got rid of the slow control of the ball, resulting in the destruction of the football by the other side out of the sideline.
Gareth bell is not explosive. He still needs to find a feeling for the time being.
The Liverpool sideline ball came out, azpiliqueta assisted the attack, quickly transferred the attack, the football flew to the left, and azpiliqueta quickly withdrew after passing the ball.
Robertson controlled the ball from the left side of the midfield and saw sane take the initiative to meet him. This time, sabaleta still unswervingly followed sane, because he noticed that mbape was still in the middle of the restricted area.
But just as he pressed sane, Robertson sent a top straight pass again!
Or hit the empty area behind sabaretta!
This surprised sabaretta. When he turned around, he saw Eriksson quickly oblique into the area in front of the bottom line of the sideline.
Liverpool are aiming at sabaretta's defence and fighting to death!
Otamendi ran out again to block Eriksson, and sabaletta also went back to defend with his teammates.
However, Eriksson knocked back directly with his heel when touching the ball, which surprised the defenders of Manchester City.
Sane touches the ball on the road outside the restricted area and changes to cross cutting!
When fernandinho came to him, sane put the ball obliquely into the left rib of the restricted area. Mbape quickly moved away from the defense of stone and shot the ball with one foot!
When all the audience thought that the ball was bound to score, mbape's ball hit the outside of the near goal post and ejected the bottom line!
Goalkeeper Bravo is sweating!
Guardiola's face is a little ugly!
"Mbape almost broke Manchester City's goal! What a pity! The football hit the goalpost!
The cooperation of Liverpool's front group is really an eye opener, which is difficult to see in ordinary Liverpool games, because the opponents adopt dense defensive tactics, which makes it very difficult for them to run through and have no space!
However, even if Manchester City did not put all their eggs in one basket and attack on the road, it also exposed some loopholes in the defence!
This is what Guardiola needs to pay attention to and actively adjust! "
In fact, Guardiola is difficult to adjust, because the team pursues the principle of cutting off the opponent's attack at the first time and will be more active in defense. In this way, Liverpool's tacit advantage in attack and defense confrontation is reflected incisively and vividly. They are not afraid that Manchester City will not rob, but they will shrink and defend!
Manchester City escaped, and the Manchester City fans in the stands also looked dignified.
In the 16th minute of the game, Manchester City also played a fast break cooperation in the front court, or played on the right. Sterling quickly knocked the ball back from the bottom of the outside line, creating a space for sabaretta. The latter directly knocked the ball horizontally in the middle. De Brauner shifted the ball in the active reception, opened the distance from Kant and directly shot out!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, and telstegen threw himself into the bottom line with one palm!
"De Brauner's long-range shot was brilliantly defused by telstegen!
Manchester City's attack seems to be beginning to become a threat! "
Situ Yunbing was calm. He gestured to the team to make the defense vigilant. Although Guardiola's team was not as strong in passing and control as in Barcelona, he had such a tactical concept after all. If he simply thought that they had this ability, he would suffer a great loss!
When Manchester City realized the attack threat of Liverpool on sane's side, they immediately strengthened the defense on this side. At the same time, stone's defensive position was more flexible, mainly following mbape.
In the 19th minute of the game, Liverpool failed to make a cross from the side. Stone cleared the ball first, which made Liverpool return in vain.
Manchester City's counterattack quickly shifted to the right after Silva's transition on the left.
Sterling got rid of all the defensive players in the right-hand running and cutting, but he kicked a defect in the direct cross when he received de Brauner's Cross, and the football flew out of the bottom line!
Liverpool fans at the scene immediately laughed at him.
Liverpool fans are really unkind.
In these two attacks, the two teams failed to fight after speeding up. It seems that the scene fell into an impasse after repeated attempts and shocks, but situ Yunbing stared at the field with calm eyes. Master duels often have to calm down first!
He doesn't have any metaphysics, waiting for a sudden change in the field that is beneficial to his own side, or "I don't know what's going on, but we won".
In the 25th minute of the game, Liverpool's front court offensive organization, after Eriksson and Henderson quickly passed and cooperated, Fernando inho and Yaya Toure came to the middle to prevent them from breaking in. At this time, Eriksson passed the ball to the left road, and Robertson quickly inserted the homeopathic ball and continued to push forward the attack.
Sane took the initiative to pick up in the running position, but this time he retreated first, then turned and inserted forward, and took sabaletta by surprise. After sabaletta lost his defensive target, he quickly turned and chased back. Otamendi moved to sane's line for interception, and stones followed mbape to the left of the middle of the restricted area.
It seems that under the intense and fast rhythm, Manchester City players are also doing very well!
But Robertson made a 45 degree cross on the wing!
Situ Yunbing smiled on the sideline when the football fell to the back of the Manchester City restricted area.
Stone hurriedly turned and moved to the football landing point, but it was obviously too late!
Gareth bell, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly killed. The fast-moving Welsh superstar jumped high and headed the ball to the upper right corner of Manchester City's goal!
Goalkeeper Bravo struggled to save this time, but he was unable to return to the sky!
When the football flew into the Manchester City goal, the cheers of Anfield stadium were earth shaking!
Gareth bell rushed to the sideline to celebrate his goal. When he drew a heart to the Red Army fans in the stands, many Red Army fans were deeply moved!
After missing half a season due to serious injury, Gareth bell started for the first time after recovering from injury. Gareth bell announced his return with a goal!
Maybe in the first 25 minutes of the game, his performance was not as good as that of sane and mbape, but when he scored, people seemed to forget that he was recovering from serious injury!
The style remains the same!
Guardiola was stunned and immediately clenched her fist.
He suddenly realized that Liverpool's previous 25 minute tactical play was actually to create opportunities for Gareth bell!
Everyone knows that Gareth bell has just recovered from injury. After the fight at the beginning of the game, Manchester City can also find out the current situation of Gareth bell. His body has recovered, but his competitive state needs to be improved, and the threat naturally decreases greatly!
So Gareth Bell once felt a little struggling and uncomfortable, but in fact, situ Yunbing's tactical deployment really took advantage of this. When Liverpool's sane and mbape threatened, Gareth bell was easy to be ignored by his opponents, especially the combination of stone and Otamendi, which was more than brave and would be slightly insufficient to stop the scene!
Gareth Bell's technical state needs to be restored, but he is healthy. He can still run very fast. When he runs in front of the goal at the right time, the only technology he needs is to head or kick the ball in!
That's it!
This is much simpler and easier than requiring him to break through the ball and continuously cooperate with his teammates to find a sense of rhythm!
"Gareth bell header! Liverpool took the lead in breaking the deadlock!
After many shots by sane and mbape in the restricted area threatening Manchester City's goal, the Manchester City defense strengthened the defense of sane and mbape, but they ignored Gareth bell!
A healthy Gareth bell is a threat as long as he plays, even if he doesn't break through the ball!
This time his header helped Liverpool take the lead and once again proved his superstar strength and value!
Now the situation is a little grim for Manchester City!
I don't know if Guardiola is aware of the seriousness of the problem!
If Manchester City can't equalize the score before the end of the first half, then according to experience, Manchester City has a high probability of breaking down at Anfield today!
This is not my alarmist or nonsense. In the past 92 Premier League away games, Manchester City has not won once when the score is behind at the end of half-time. That is to say, if Manchester City is behind at the end of the away game, they can't turn over the game in the second half and draw at most, but this data is definitely a nightmare for Manchester City fans. They are behind at half-time in 92 away games and draw 11 times, 81 defeats!
Although the record is used to be broken, this record has spanned more than a decade, so who can be confident that Manchester City can break the record if they really fall behind at the end of the half-time?
They are facing the defending champion, European overlord Liverpool! "
