Nine Hundred and Eighth, It's Time to Fight for Life Again

After Manchester City equalized the score, their fighting spirit also took on a new look, as if they really had the confidence to play the role of a regicide!

In the 37th minute of the game, after De Bruyne responded in the frontcourt again, Kanter's close-fitting press almost caused De Bruyne to lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Manchester City took a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Silva's pass into the left side of the penalty area was well placed, but Aguero's slow response caused the football to fly out of the baseline after bouncing off the ground.

When Liverpool regained control of the ball, Situ Yunbing gestured on the sidelines to allow the team to further speed up, and at the same time the team strengthened the counter-attack and oppression in the midfield!

Although the pace of the game was fast from the beginning, Liverpool still had some reservations after all.

Compared with the strong attack at the beginning of the game, which is too clear at a glance, the strong attack before the end of the half can be regarded as an option for seeking new changes.

Guardiola also gestured to the team at this time, asking them to strengthen their defense.

The first half of the game is coming to an end. If they can return to the locker room with a draw, it will be a relatively good result for Manchester City. Don't concede a goal again!

Liverpool speeded up the pass and cut speed in the frontcourt, but the delay of Manchester City's defense line compressed the defensive space to a certain extent, which made it difficult for Liverpool to directly penetrate their defense line through fast pass and cut.

Several consecutive simple attacks failed, and Manchester City's counterattack was too exposed. In addition, Liverpool's midfield counterattack increased, and they failed to pose a threat.

The scene seemed to be in a stalemate. At this time, Liverpool still insisted on a seemingly simple offensive method.

This makes Guardiola very puzzled.

Perhaps in his thinking, Situ Yunbing's team should pursue a more delicate and gorgeous offensive!

But they are trying the simplest way of attack.

In the 44th minute of the game, after Robertson assisted and sent a diagonal pass in the frontcourt, Mbappe retreated in the middle and knocked the ball back to Eriksson. The latter tried to hang the ball directly into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Fernandinho chose the header relay under the pressure of Eriksson's frontal press.

The football flew to the direction of the center circle. Kanter took control of the ball first, and then passed the ball diagonally to the left. Robertson kicked the ball straight.

Sane made a breakthrough after leading the ball from the wing, Zabaleta retreated to defend, Sane stopped suddenly to pull the ball but dribbled back two steps, and then sent the ball with a pass.

Mbappe advanced into the middle of the penalty area, and Otamendi quickly moved to the middle of the penalty area this time to make a header.

Eriksson took possession of the ejected football, and Yaya Toure quickly countered.

After Gareth Bale responded here, he dialed the ball and shot directly!

Krarov's return to the penalty area close to the right rib area can only block Gareth Bell's line of changing direction and going outside.

Stones immediately went up to try to complete the interception.

But at the critical moment, Gareth Bell passed the ball lightly and shortly behind Stones like a leisurely stroll!

at the same time,

Liverpool midfielder Henderson brushes shoulders with Stones!

If Stones retreats to defend again, he will be beyond his reach!

Guardiola's face was solemn on the sidelines, and at the same time he understood Liverpool's tactical intentions belatedly.

After Henderson entered the penalty area, he made no adjustments to meet the ball and directly kicked and shot!

Even if Otamendi gave up Mbappe and rushed towards him, it would not help!

So decisive!

The football blasted by Henderson flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Bravo swoops but fails to touch the football!

The thunderous cheers at Anfield, Henderson rushed to the sidelines and roared passionately!

The generals of Manchester City seemed to have been poured with cold water, a bolt from the blue!

Guardiola wiped his face, it was really hard to accept the current situation.

"Henderson blasts in! Liverpool take the lead again!

After many sprinting attacks, Liverpool suddenly switched to ground passes and cuts. Henderson's sudden drive into the penalty area completely tore Manchester City's defense!

Liverpool showed a superb technical and tactical level!

They made Guardiola's Manchester City enter the most embarrassing situation in the away game: trailing at halftime! "

Situ Yunbing applauded Henderson's goal.

In the past few years, the British Empire has produced many emperor stars, from Sterling to Alli, and then from Lingard to Rashford, but in the eyes of Situ Yunbing, none of them is stronger than Henderson in spirit!

Henderson's simplicity and hard work are the key factors why he is willing to make great changes for his football dream. Compared with talent, he is indeed inferior to those British emperors, but his role on the field is becoming more and more prominent!

He deserves applause!

Behind the applause is his unimaginable dedication to dispel Situ Yunbing's abandonment of him through years of hard work.

It is said that fame should come sooner rather than later, and happiness is not so enjoyable.

Henderson was famous early, but after joining Liverpool, he was labeled as a parallel importer. Now, he has finally torn off the label attached to it by outsiders with his own efforts and current strength!

Guardiola's face is gloomy, because his Manchester City can be said to be still in the running-in period, why is it still in the running-in period after half a year?

Because his technical and tactical concepts are relatively complicated!

It is said that changing a coach is like changing a knife. If a coach with a relatively simple and commonplace style may really bring good results in the context of stimulating the team's new motivation and combat effectiveness.

But Guardiola is not blind to motivate the team to succeed!

He needs the team to integrate his technical and tactical concepts.

Therefore, Manchester City is still in the running-in stage.

Also because of this reason, the technical and tactical effects that Manchester City can present at the technical and tactical level are relatively basic, and it is difficult to present them perfectly if they are more complex and more varied.

Compared with Liverpool, whether it is a simple offensive that reduces complexity to simplicity, or a delicate cooperation from simplicity to complexity, they can control it freely.

It seems that Liverpool played a simple offense in the past period of time, but in fact they are paralyzing Manchester City!

This is similar to when Guardiola led Barcelona to paralyze the opponent by passing and controlling rhythm changes.

Liverpool's approach is more risky, because it will give the opponent a chance to counterattack, but supplemented by the team's strongest defense in Europe, it seems that it is certainly worth a try!

Guardiola knows very well that even though the two teams are evenly matched in terms of lineup, Liverpool is still a long way behind Manchester City in terms of technical and tactical capabilities!

2:1.

Liverpool managed to regain the lead over City before half-time.

Of course they will shrink the defensive line to ensure that nothing happens before half-time.

City's last chance to attack before the end of the first half was Yaya Toure who tried a long shot in the frontcourt.

Failed to test Ter Stegen, the angle was too positive, and the Liverpool goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball.

At the end of the first half, the two teams returned to the locker room to rest.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing fine-tuned the team's tactics in the locker room.

No matter what kind of threat Manchester City wants to play, De Bruyne is the core of the frontcourt. Even if Manchester City wants to use De Bruyne as a bait, it may be a bit embarrassing at this stage.

Because Yaya Toure's offensive tactical status has declined, this has led to the complete destruction of the core of Manchester City's familiar and formed style of play in the past few years.

In the past, Manchester City's strikers looked for Aguero and Dzeko, and if they couldn't start the situation, they turned around and looked for Yaya Toure. Generally, Yaya Toure can bring unexpected good results, but if Yaya Toure is also misfired, then Manchester City will basically stop.

It can be seen that after Guardiola took office as the Manchester City coach, he has significantly strengthened the threat of wingers in the offense to Manchester City. Whether it is Sterling's role in the first half or Silva who scored a goal, they are actually using the winger's thinking to play a role.

After the intermission, the two teams returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Amidst the fanatical cheers of the fans of the two teams, Manchester City stepped up their offensive in the second half!

The score is behind, and Guardiola doesn't have much time to play Tai Chi with Liverpool. They naturally have to race against time. It's hard to say whether they can overtake the score. Try to equalize first.

After Yaya Toure and De Bruyne passed the ball quickly in the middle circle, seeing that Henderson and Kanter were attracted to block it, De Bruyne quickly passed the ball diagonally to find Sterling.

When Sterling was in possession of the ball, Robertson was pressing hard. Sterling couldn't find a good breakthrough opportunity and immediately passed the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.

If the long-range shot from outside the penalty area is not interfered by no one and adjusted to the best condition, it may be difficult to score directly, unless it is a world wave!

The ball went straight to the upper right of the center of the goal. Ter Stegen was ready to concentrate and made a smooth save to block the ball in the penalty area. Koulibali retreated first and knocked the ball across the side to Robertson.

When Robertson tried to launch a fast break, Sterling broke the ball out of the sideline first.

When Liverpool was about to take a throw-in, Situ Yunbing's expression changed slightly on the sidelines!

Manchester City's front line man-marking is quite satisfactory, but the midfielder and back line press forward, which is a bit unusual. Obviously, Guardiola's adjustment to Manchester City in the midfield is to require the Manchester City team to adopt full-court pressing tactics in the second half!

Almost a desperate tactic for a decisive battle!

Situ Yunbing didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately gestured to the team to let them speed up the speed of the ball, and don't be sloppy in the slightest!

Manchester City wants to suppress Liverpool at Liverpool's door and try to prevent Liverpool from fighting back?

It's a bit whimsical!
