Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two Right? Bring It On!
At the Etihad Stadium, the much-anticipated Premier League matchup is about to begin. The starting players of the two teams stepped into the stadium for the pre-kick-off ceremony.
The deafening cheers in the stadium resounded through the sky again.
"Good afternoon, viewers, welcome to the 13th round of the Premier League, Manchester City is at home against the defending champion Liverpool!
Before the game, Fleet Street once criticized the FA for putting this game after the FIFA match day, which would affect the quality of the game, and it is true that the two teams cannot come up with the strongest lineup, and even the status will be marked with a question mark.
Manchester City is now 8 points behind Liverpool, which makes people worry. If Manchester City can't beat Liverpool at home, then Liverpool will basically lock up the half-time championship. If Manchester City loses at home, will we be in November? It can be announced in advance that Manchester City has failed in the championship!
If this is affirmative, then who can stop Liverpool from completing an unprecedented four consecutive championships in England's top league in the Premier League?
So now Manchester City does not lack the support of the outside world. People expect more suspense in the Premier League. The last hope seems to be only on Manchester City!
Can Pellegrini prove himself this season?
Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.
Manchester City started today 433.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Sagna, Mangala, Demichelis, Krarov.
Midfield: Fernando, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure.
Forwards: Mahrez, Aguero, Sterling.
What's interesting is that two players in Manchester City's team used to play for Liverpool. In addition to De Bruyne's words, three of the starting players were once disciples of Situ Yunbing.
Of course Situ Yunbing knew them very well, and he was very aware of their threats!
Liverpool's starting away game today is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Benatia, Robertson.
Midfield: Kante, Coutinho, Eriksen.
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Sane.
Although both teams have been affected by injuries, it seems that Liverpool only has hidden dangers in the right back position, while Manchester City's entire back line may be a little unstable.
Especially the combination of veteran Demichelis and Mangala is absolutely unreliable!
The game is about to start, let's take a look at what the top battle of the Premier League will show this season! "
With the whistle of the referee, the game between Manchester City and Liverpool officially began!
Manchester City launched a very active offensive at home. De Bruyne and Yaya Toure ensured the fluency and efficiency of Manchester City's offensive organization.
Kanter and Eriksson built a barrier on the back waistline. De Bruyne knew Kanter's interception ability well, and instead of rushing hard, he passed the ball diagonally to the left to find Sterling.
After Sterling led the ball, he quickly stepped forward and broke through!
Arnold subconsciously stretched his legs to intercept and was dodged by the opponent!
Liverpool's defense on the right was broken!
Seeing Liverpool's starting list, no one will worry about Arnold, and Manchester City showed strong lethality in the first wave of offensive after the opening!
Sterling cut the ball into the penalty area, and knocked the ball back diagonally before Van Dijk came to block it. Aguero took the initiative to run laterally and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot!
He blasted the ball towards the near corner of the goal, but the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the left post!
call!
The Manchester City fans felt extremely regretful, and many fans couldn't help but jumped up!
"Aguero missed the goal by a hair!
Manchester City almost opened the scoring at home and went to the next city!
Sterling succeeded in overcoming Arnold. Although in Arnold's limited playing time in the past, he left us a deep impression on the offensive end, but as a full-back, his defensive ability obviously needs to be strengthened! "
Manchester City's offensive after the opening is very imposing.
Situ Yunbing didn't feel worried because Arnold was broken through. What's the use of worrying?
Azpilicueta is suspended. Using Guerrero is similar to using Arnold. The former's sense of position is unfamiliar. Either the central defender will be used as a cameo, and Skrtel will play the right back. That is just to cope with the game. On Arnold It's not an adventure, but a necessary process to hone him.
The performance of Manchester City made Situ Yunbing couldn't help muttering to himself: "Good job, this is what I want!"
If Manchester City shrink back to defend, Situ Yunbing will look down on Pellegrini a little bit!
Just look at their back line and you will know that if Manchester City wants to survive 90 minutes without being scored by Liverpool, it is absolutely whimsical!
Since you can't hold it, attack it!
It just so happens that Liverpool also has this intention!
In the 4th minute of the game, Gareth Bell received Coutinho's pass from the right, but kicked back the ball when he pretended to break through Krarov, and then completed a collision with Eriksson who followed up. After he took the ball, he ran inside and cut in. Krarov returned to the defense slowly and was seized by Gareth Bell!
After Gareth Bell cut inside, he took two steps to see Mangala coming to block, he suddenly dialed the ball and changed it to a crosscut!
Mangala failed to touch the football when he stopped and stretched his legs to intercept. Gareth Bale staggered past him and then kicked the goal!
The football hit Manchester City's goal like a cannonball, and Joe Hart heard a loud bang before he could even make a save!
boom!
The football hit the top of the crossbar and flew to the stands!
Manchester City fans are collectively worried and their scalps are numb!
"Whoa, Gareth Bale's shot hit the crossbar!
Manchester City's shot was just a hair's breadth away, and Liverpool quickly responded!
The defense of both teams seems to have more or less problems! "
Manchester City is determined to show off their offensive ability in front of Liverpool, and they do have the capital.
In the 7th minute of the game, when Yaya Toure received a pass from Aguero in the frontcourt, he quickly knocked the ball across De Bruyne, who was actively running to the right. Let De Bruyne have a good space to control the ball. He directly passed the ball over the top and hoisted the ball to the left rib of the penalty area!
This pass is very precise and imaginative. This is the embodiment of De Bruyne's creativity. It can be said that in European football where masters are extinct, De Bruyne's creativity is second to none!
Sterling received De Bruyne's pass in this quick inward cut!
Even Van Dijk couldn't get close in time to defend and block after realizing it!
Ter Stegen hurriedly ran towards the left goal post. Sterling faced an excellent opportunity. As long as he shoots the ball towards the goal, he is absolutely threatening. Whether he can make it depends on his shot control. !
But when the football fell in front of him, Sterling shot the ball high with one foot!
The moment the football flew over the crossbar, countless Manchester City fans couldn't help covering their faces!
Situ Yunbing smiled without grace!
Just like Sterling's smile after inexplicably flying many singles when he played for Liverpool!
Sterling himself didn't smile, looking remorseful and angry.
But Situ Yunbing confirmed that Happy Football is online again!
"OMG! Sterling missed a must-goal chance!
De Bruyne's pass is almost perfect, and any striker would like to get a pass like De Bruyne's!
Sterling only needs to do two things, run in place and shoot the ball in!
He did a good job up front and then kicked the ball away with a poor shot!
What a waste of money! "
Pellegrini was a little speechless!
There is no room for any slack in this level of strong dialogue!
When an opportunity arises, we must seize it. First, the opportunity is rare, and second, wasting an opportunity like this is a crime in itself!
Liverpool escaped, and then launched a fast break!
When Robertson assisted from the left and teamed up with Sane to blow up Sagna's defense zone, Robertson kicked the ball vigorously in the penalty area and sent it to the front of the goal!
Under the interference of Demichelis, Lewandowski did not increase his speed to outflank, and Joe Hart did not dare to attack. It is obviously impossible to touch the football.
But at the back point, Gareth Bale's quick inside cut was about to kill. At the critical moment, Mangala returned to the defense and kicked the ball in front of and behind the goal to clear the ball!
Gareth Bell made it, but Mangala had already taken the lead, and Mangala kicked the football slapped by Robertson Daping!
Then for a moment, the Etihad Stadium was completely silent!
The football is spinning in the Manchester City goal!
Mangala was stunned, Gareth Bell was startled, and then rushed to Robertson!
The Red Army fans belatedly started cheering and celebrating!
"OMG! OMG! Mangala scored an own goal!
He wanted to clear Robertson's cross, but he blocked the ball into his own goal!
From the slow motion, Robertson's almost volleyed cross seems to be a straight line, but in fact the trajectory is a bit erratic. No wonder Mangala kicked a flaw when he cleared the siege!
There was a problem with Mangala's judgment. He didn't expect a subtle deviation in the position of the football when he made a clearance. It was this subtle deviation that caused the clearance to become an own goal!
Manchester City are behind at home, they are really unlucky!
We were all worried about Demichelis, worried that the old Argentine defender who was about to turn 35 years old would be blown away by Liverpool. Unexpectedly, it was the young Mangala who made a big mistake first!
But judging from Manchester City's performance on the field today, they have the strength to break through Liverpool's goal! "
Situ Yunbing laughed a little on the sidelines, and Pellegrini was embarrassed and bitter!
How does this team lead?
Fleet Street criticized Manchester City for not being brave enough, well, is it brave enough today?
Our defenders all kicked the ball into their own goals!
Do you know why you dare not put all your eggs in one basket to oppress it?
The defense is a sinkhole!
