Chapter 1093

The battle between Liverpool and Manchester City is the battle between the two teams with the highest value and the strongest strength in the Premier League.

But if you want to score between the two teams, no one will question Liverpool's paper strength.

The data can be used as a reference. Levandovsky and mbape dominate the top two in the Premier League striker list, followed by Salah.

In terms of defensive data, Liverpool performed better than Manchester City in the first 37 rounds and lost fewer goals.

If the competition is partial, the only advantage of Manchester City is the organizational creativity of the midfield. De Brauner with jingduo'an is indeed more creative than Liverpool's offensive organization. De Brauner has left many classic pictures of fairy ball assists this season.

But the key to the confrontation between the two teams is "my attack is against your defense!"

Liverpool's back waist plus defender combination is the strongest in the Premier League and even Europe, and no one doubts this.

Therefore, Manchester City's offensive creativity in the game today was reduced a lot because of Liverpool's defensive restrictions.

So Liverpool showed a more efficient and threatening side at home than Manchester City.

Defense and attack are complementary after all, not antagonistic.

Situ Yunbing expected that Guardiola would not end up with a hot mind like klopper in the Carling Cup final, so he didn't let Liverpool grab the rhythm and start throwing the king at the beginning. It's unnecessary!

Manchester City must be on guard. Manchester City's caution after the opening also failed to give full play to their strength, which situ Yunbing and Guardiola know each other.

But with the passing of the stage of mutual temptation, the two managers also know that the warm-up is over!

From the 11th minute of the game, Liverpool suddenly began to speed up in the attack. When the attack on the left encountered snipers, they quickly transferred the attack, switched sides and played on the right, trying to tear up the opponent's defense through rapid transfer.

Guardiola's team is also very good at this move, but the difference is that even if Liverpool's offensive creativity is not as good as the opponent, there is only one fernandinho in Manchester City midfield, and they dare not leave without permission. For fear that Liverpool have players inserting forward to form a restricted area, the forward attack pressure will lead to a dilemma for the guard line. Liverpool only rely on Eriksson and Casimiro, And Cantor assists from time to time, and is absolutely able to transfer the ball quickly without procrastination.

In the 14th minute of the game, after mbape's right pass accelerated and broke through slightly bulky Mendi, he crossed the ball obliquely to the right rib of the restricted area in front of the bottom line. Eriksson quickly inserted forward. Although he got rid of fernandinho, he was blocked by Otamendi. Eriksson didn't try to break through. That's not what he is good at in this level of competition, So he picked the ball in place and passed it to the hinterland of the left rib of the restricted area, trying to find the inscribed glitzmann.

When the football passed over kompany's head, kompany turned decisively to block glizman, and also reached out to Otamendi to keep an eye on levandovsky.

Glitzmann hit the ball directly in the air this time!

Kompany turned sideways to block the ball out of the baseline.

Manchester City also did a good job in defense!

"Glitzmann shot in the penalty area again. Kompani's defense is very important. It didn't make glitzmann's shot a threat!

Maybe it will be better to adjust the ball control. "

It's not that glitzmann is eager to score, but that he has run out of space just now. Fernandinho defends back into the restricted area. If he controls the ball, he basically has no chance to shoot!

Liverpool's corner kick did not pose a threat. Edson took off in front of the goal and took off the ball in the air.

When the Liverpool generals quickly retreated, Manchester City's attack began to move forward from full back walker. When glizman came to defend, he passed the ball to jingduo'an's feet, then ran forward and inserted.

Jingduo'an knocked the ball back to kompani under the harassment of levandovsky. The latter kicked the ball and found de Braun in the middle of the backcourt. Eriksson came forward to press the ball. De Braun withdrew the internal control ball and then crossed the ball sideways. Mendi also came up!

Situ Yunbing's eyes were dignified on the sidelines, and Manchester City's attack mode began to change!

The positions of the two full backs are on the premise. If they are placed in an ordinary game, he will certainly think that Manchester City will be pressed on a large scale and gradually create a threat through ball control oppression.

But in today's game, he recognized that Guardiola can't put the team on a large scale!

Because that's how his Manchester City was smashed last season!

The simplest truth is that if Mendi and Walker press on, their side defense area will become a playground for glizman and mbape!

Even if Manchester City can block Eriksson and Casimiro who play in midfield.

But can they stop Robertson and Arnold again?

If a long pass can pierce the opponent's heart, Liverpool will never waste another pass!

Therefore, situ Yunbing should carefully observe the purpose of Manchester City's change.

Manchester City's front line is not very close, and it is only about 20 yards away from the midfield line.

When mbape went back to harass Mendi, Mendi skewed the ball to find Aguero who took the initiative to withdraw. At the same time, Kant and Casimiro both retreated slightly, and de Brauner took the initiative to run directly behind Aguero.

Situ Yunbing looked at the whole situation. At this time, sterling and Jesus began to run and cut inside!

Aguero sent the ball back to de Brauner. At this time, Casimiro turned to follow and defend. It is impossible to form a positive blockade against De Brauner!

De Brauner hit the ball directly to the left rib of the Liverpool restricted area!

The path of football flying to the Liverpool restricted area is just in the air between van Dijk and Arnold!

The route selection is very good, and the landing point is just the area where sterling's internal cutting movement can be connected in place!

The whole audience saw that de Brauner's pass was like lifting weights lightly, almost casually sending out a penetrating over the top straight plug!

Sterling entered the left rib of Liverpool's restricted area with rapid speed. When the football fell, he successfully unloaded the ball on the surface of his right foot!

Guardiola's eyes lit up the light of expectation at this moment!

But Sterling didn't hit the goal directly, because van Dijk's back defense speed was not slow. In order to get rid of Van Dijk and open the distance with him, sterling took the ball one step forward!

It was this step that gave the decisive telstegen a chance to get close to sterling!

When Sterling shot again in front of the small restricted area line, telstegen was less than one meter in front of him.

When van Dijk saw sterling's ball, he went back to the middle zone in front of the defensive goal and cut off the line that sterling changed to pass the goalkeeper to the middle. At the same time, he also cut off the line that sterling sent a cross to Jesus!

Sterling has only two choices, either change to the bottom line to pass tersten, or start shooting directly!

Even if the former succeeds in passing the goalkeeper, I'm afraid the shooting angle will be close to zero.

When Liverpool fans couldn't help swallowing their saliva, sterling started shooting between lightning and flint!

Shoot the ball into the far corner of the goal with your right foot arch!

Telstegen fell to the ground, stretched out his left leg and blocked the ball!

The blocked football saw Aguero have a chance to finish the make-up shot!

At the critical moment, Cantor put the shovel and sent the ball out of the baseline!

Aguero covered his face and sighed!

All Manchester City fans are holding their heads with great regret!

Guardiola just felt that her chest was blocked by one breath. She couldn't feel comfortable for a while!

Situ Yunbing looked dignified. Guardiola's preparations were more elaborate and comprehensive than he thought!

Today's Manchester City is definitely his strongest opponent in the Premier League in six years!

“OMG！ Sterling's single knife was blocked by telstegen!

Aguero's make-up shot was killed by Cantor!

Wonderful!

De Brauner's wonderful pass only makes people feel intoxicated. The trajectory of football flying in the air is so beautiful and moving!

It's a pity that sterling didn't shoot at the first time!

What if he doesn't stop and shoot?

Although the success rate will certainly not be high, if it is successful, it will definitely be a super wonderful and unparalleled goal!

From cooperation to breaking the door, it will have aesthetic feeling and shock impact!

What a pity!

Manchester City almost took the lead at Anfield!

If Manchester City takes the lead, I'm afraid the pressure will all fall to Liverpool! "

The Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands are afraid.

Sterling's goal may be just a moment's difference in choice.

They didn't boo Sterling today.

Even after Sterling left Liverpool that year, he had many complaints about situ Yunbing and Liverpool Club. Even if he was not regarded as a traitor by Liverpool fans, he thought it was very unkind as a Liverpool youth training player.

But today, the Red Army fans gave Sterling enough respect, because this is the battle of the king of the century!

Respect your opponent is also respect yourself!

Such a classic showdown in the Premier League for 20 years should put aside some trivial grievances.

The Reds fans put their hopes on every player on the pitch and, of course, the gods in their hearts on the sidelines!

Situ Yunbing did not give instructions to the team. After the threatening attack of Manchester City just now, he was thinking about the design and purpose of Manchester City's playing method.

When the two full backs are pressed to the center line, there is absolutely time to defend in place, so there is no need to worry that Liverpool's fast attack will make them unable to catch up. Unless Manchester City makes a mistake near the central circle, I'm afraid no full backs can go back in time, because it doesn't make much sense to go back. Liverpool must go straight to the Manchester City restricted area, Instead of playing the conventional sidelines.

However, the full back can form a closer ball control cooperation with the midfield when pressed to the middle line, which is fully reflected in the two teams that Guardiola used to coach, but it was more radical in the past, but now it is a little conservative and pragmatic.

If Guardiola learned anything last season, it must be that he learned to look at his opponent's face and make good use of the situation!
