Chapter 1096: .1096 Peak of the War of the Gods!

wore!
Liverpool's defense was completely penetrated by Manchester City!
When Aguero stabbed the ball into the close corner of Liverpool's goal, not only were Manchester City fans cheering wildly, but even reporters and critics in the media booth raised their arms and cheered!
Because they saw Manchester City's hope of winning!
Manchester City is indeed the most qualified team in the Premier League to challenge Liverpool. They have the opportunity to take off the crown from Liverpool and wear it on their head!
Aguero rushed to the sidelines, clenched fists and screamed, and the Manchester City fans were so excited!
They broke Liverpool's goal at Anfield!
another one!
One more they will turn things around!
Break Liverpool's five-year rule of the Premier League!
Will the new king be born today?
"Aguero scored a goal! The goal was scored! Liverpool's defense was completely torn apart by Manchester City's attack this time!
From Gundogan's possession of the ball to the transfer to De Bruyne's feet, when the ball returned to Gundogan's feet, he sent a fatal through!
Jesus sent a key pass in the right flank of the penalty area, and Aguero scored a goal in the running position!
They didn't give Coulibaly or Van Dijk a chance to press defense!
Everything happened so fast!
Manchester City equalized the score before the end of the first half, which brought back the suspense of the Premier League champions!
Manchester City need to score more to be able to reverse the victory and subvert the Red Army dynasty!
But I think the current situation is still favorable for Liverpool, because the remaining time of the game will be less and less!
Liverpool 1:1 Manchester City! "
Guardiola is also rare to clenched fists and roared to celebrate after witnessing Aguero's goal!
Even though he has played in the Champions League finals twice and played many times in the world-famous Spanish national derby, today's matchup is the most important and challenging peak matchup in his coaching career so far in Guardiola's mind!
Situ Yunbing secretly gritted his teeth, this Manchester City offensive space, players move to cover, intersperse, and timing are all done to the extreme!
Although Liverpool have played against Real Madrid with two world-class midfield opponents, but in terms of creativity, Real Madrid is not as good as Manchester City!
This is actually very easy to compare. Comparing the process of all goals scored by Real Madrid during the season and Manchester City's, we can find that Manchester City's De Bruyne is sharper in offensive creativity than Real Madrid's two midfielders.
Real Madrid focuses on control, while Manchester City focuses on penetration!
Although Liverpool's previous defensive adjustments had a certain effect, new problems followed.
Limiting Aguero's retracement point is equivalent to giving the Manchester City midfield more room for action!
Situ Yunbing almost wanted to slap himself!
He ignored this before adjusting.
Perhaps he has also become accustomed to the conservative and passive opponents facing Liverpool. It is expected that no matter how much Manchester City is eager to attack, Guardiola's changes to the team this season are obvious.
This is also an important aspect of Manchester City's progress this season: defense!
Manchester City conceded 39 goals in the league last season, averaging more than one per game!
But they have only conceded 24 goals so far this season!
The improvement of this defensive data is a substantial increase in defensive strength!
But when it came to the crucial day of the battle, Manchester City really went out!
It is impossible for Guardiola to know that when Manchester City's two midfielders press into the front of Liverpool's penalty area, once their attack is frustrated, then Liverpool's rapid counterattack from the three lines is definitely capable of taking away their defense in one wave!
From full-backs to midfielders to forwards, Liverpool have the ability to play a numerical advantage. Even if the numbers are balanced, Liverpool can also penetrate their defenses in counterattacks.
But Manchester City did so firmly, indicating that Guardiola came to Anfield with the determination to break the boat!
nice shot!
It is indeed a good shot!
Situ Yunbing was excited about having such an opponent!
After winning the Champions League last season, he felt somewhat lonely.
Because Manchester City is not in the league, Klopp's Arsenal has some inherent shortcomings. As for Chelsea and Manchester United, he has never been the object of his worry.
And this season, whether it is Klopp or Guardiola, both have come up with a stronger performance than last season, as is Situ Yunbing!
This battle of the gods finally ushered in the most brilliant chapter!
In mid and late May 2018, they jointly wrote the most explosive peak matchup in the Premier League and European football!
Situ Yunbing gestured from the sidelines to keep the team steady!
The first half of the game is almost over and he does not intend to gamble.
If Liverpool can easily penetrate Manchester City’s defenses, he will let Liverpool put further pressure on it, but obviously the core of this game is not strength. The strength of both sides is placed there. It will not be higher and will not change. Low, the fundamentals will not change.
But to win the game requires careful design and striving for ideas and direction!
Guardiola had the same idea as Situ Yunbing at this time. There was not much time left in the first half, so there was no need to take risks!
In particular, Liverpool will take the lead in control of the ball. Manchester City died of a radical crash last season, and this season has indeed increased the importance of offensive and defensive balance, while also enhancing the team's ability to confront.
Now he ordered the team to withdraw and defend, and the striker is no exception!
Seeing Manchester City's performance, Situ Yunbing secretly praised: can bend and stretch! Manchester City finally has a kingly spirit!
Before the end of the first half, Liverpool's offense formed a long-range shot opportunity in the front court, but Kanter's long-range shot eventually deviated from the goal.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the fans cheered and saluted!
Although Liverpool and Manchester City did not play a traditional British passionate attack in the first half, they were shocked by the performance of the offensive tactics of pursuing quality and destroying the opponent's defense line!
Both Situ Yunbing and Guardiola walked into the player channel with thoughtfulness.
They are thinking about how to defeat the enemy in the second half, while also guarding against the opponent!
This is the most wonderful part of the game between them.
This is by no means a game that relies on hard power to crush the opponent!
It is undeniable that they do not need to be too tactical to win most of the games in the season, but they have always paid great attention to tactics from the beginning of the season to today, in order to make the team play the strongest in the peak duel. strength!
When Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, he stood silent in front of the tactical board.
The players did not chat after returning to the locker room, but took the time to rest and rejuvenate.
When Situ Yunbing began to make adjustments, his words were astonishing.
"In the second half, we must first make substitution adjustments. Henderson will replace Eriksson on the field!"
Eriksen was surprised, but he did not complain at all. He had obeyed Situ Yunbing's command for a long time, and he knew Situ Yunbing like his teammates.
His performance in the first half was definitely not bad, he was even an integral part of Liverpool's attack.
Situ Yunbing is also different from other coaches. The reason for the substitution of many coaches is that the player is not performing well and his state does not meet expectations, so he will make substitution adjustments.
But the substitution of Situ Yunbing will not only consider these, but also have deeper technical and tactical goals.
Henderson didn't expect that he would be replaced so quickly, listening more carefully to Situ Yunbing's next adjustments.
After Situ Yunbing re-planned the tactical play in the second half, he clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team and told them: "The first half of the game has proved that Manchester City and our strength are very close. They have the opportunity to take away the victory from Anfield. At the same time also took the championship trophy!
Our performance is not worse than them, but this requires us to continue to use all our strength to play the second half of the game, without the slightest distraction!
This is destined to be a game written in history. We are not the ones waiting for history, we are the ones who create and write history! "
The generals of the Red Army nodded and cheered each other.
Situ Yunbing came to the sidelines before the start of the second half of the game. Guardiola stood with his arms around his chest. He was calm and relaxed, but he saw Situ Yunbing standing with Henderson before the game started. A look of consternation when he was outside the center line!
He had expected that Situ Yunbing would make adjustments, but the substitution was definitely not one of them. This was really a change that caught Guardiola by surprise.
He almost has to re-evaluate in his mind the changes after Liverpool replaced Henderson!
The scene caught Situ Yunbing saying a few words in his ear before Henderson's debut, and then Henderson replaced Eriksson!
Even the Red Army fans looked at each other very surprised.
Did Eriksson perform well in the first half?
Ask a hundred people, a thousand people, I am afraid it is difficult for one person to say that Erickson should be replaced if he is not performing well!
Although he is not as permeable as De Bruyne in the attack and can tear the opponent's defense in an instant, at least he is also the most important link in Liverpool's offensive system!
"Unexpectedly, Liverpool made a substitution before the start of the second half!
Henderson replaced Eriksson!
Eriksson was almost involved in all the threatening attacks of Liverpool in the first half!
His role is self-evident, can Henderson play the same role as Erickson?
If not, this substitution may become a key turning point in the game!
But I think in accordance with Situ Yunbing's calm coaching style, he can't make a hasty substitution decision because he can't stand the pressure. He must have his tactical vision for doing so!
The specific effect can only be judged from Henderson's game performance. "
On the face of it, Liverpool's substitution of Eriksson is to reduce the offensive investment, because Henderson has always been considered an engineer-type midfielder.
So does this mean that Liverpool are about to start transforming to play defensive counterattacks?
Even if Guardiola doesn't think it will be such a change in his heart, Manchester City must guard against it!
