Chapter 931: .931 Battle for Dignity

On March 18, when Liverpool entered Manchester by bus, the sky started to rain slightly, and the gloomy sky made people feel a little depressed.
The atmosphere of the Etihad Stadium was not as fanatical as expected, and Situ Yunbing could easily see the worry on the faces of the fans.
Probably it is Manchester City's current league ranking that makes them unable to be optimistic. In addition, facing Liverpool today is after all a difficult battle!
Guardiola was standing on the sidelines in a trench coat. He and Situ Yunbing had no communication before the game.
Today, I saw media reports about Situ Yunbing’s pre-match remarks, and Guardiola suddenly felt a little guilty, probably because his view of despising Situ Yunbing’s achievements may indeed seem a bit of a villain.
Of course, he was also forced to be helpless. He thought that Situ Yunbing would inevitably fall for him, making him a target of public criticism, but he did not expect that Situ Yunbing would say something fair for him!
But he retaliated with Situ Yunbing with a knife.
In the past in La Liga and Bundesliga, Guardiola only watched Situ Yunbing from a distance, but after coming to the Premier League, there was a sense of mystery that could not penetrate this magical marshal.
Situ Yunbing has a clear conscience in everything he did, as he said to Guardiola before, this is a war!
War inevitably requires swords and soldiers to meet each other, but it is not necessarily vicious and sinister at all.
The Manchester City club can give Pellegrini three years, how can it be impatient with Guardiola?
Rather than attacking Guardiola again and again like a beaming clown and humiliating the opponent with ridicule, it is better to take a break from time to time, maintain a good rhythm, disturb the opponent, and also relieve yourself.
People stumble and horses stumble, too full of words will inevitably overturn the gutter.
How bad is Manchester City?
Not necessarily.
Guardiola is right in one thing. If Situ Yunbing came to the Premier League that year to be more like participating in the city-wide unified test, then Guardiola will take the national unified test immediately after coming to the Premier League!
The level of competition is completely different.
At that time, the Premier League had not had a Champions League champion for many years. At that time, the Premier League was also in a melee. In the past three years, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City took turns taking turns.
Liverpool's dominance since then has indeed made new competitors a lot more difficult.
Standing in the Etihad Stadium, facing the cold wind and rain, Situ Yunbing's heart was not easy.
The heights are so cold!
In this war of the age of the gods, defeating an opponent is not difficult, but when Liverpool is besieged, he does sometimes feel headaches.
Also not easy is Guardiola.
He knows better than anyone that top teams have more than just top lineups, and that weak teams lack more than just top players.
It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand this connotation, but as long as you think about it in reverse, it will make sense.
Not every team with a top lineup can be successful!
Looking at team building at the level of Guardiola, the lineup is always just the basis. When the outside world laughs at how much Mourinho has spent but has not done a few major things, why not Guardiola?
Is Liverpool's prosperity today just because of the foundation laid by the large investment in the past few years?
Yes, but not all!
Where did the countless classic battles they contributed to the European War in the past four years come from?
How could Situ Yunbing be pushed to the altar?
Guardiola once enjoyed all this, and now he is eager to relive the pleasure of that time.
Just as the players have to be famous as early as possible and come late, the happiness is not so happy.
But after a wave of quick successes at Manchester City, Guardiola discovered that although Manchester City's central axis core for many years is not a British player!
Kompany at the back, Yaya Touré at the midfield and Silva at the attacking organization, Aguero at the strike.
How come these players have nothing to do with British players!
But the Premier League has its own set of rules!
Here, if he wants the team to play the kind of warm pass, it is impossible!
The fast pace of the Premier League has already had a deep-rooted influence on every team here!
Don't emphasize confrontation, if you don't work hard, you will definitely be eliminated!
How about Wenger's Arsenal?
Once upon a time it was a unique scene, but so what?
Did the champion favor them?
Manchester City has taken a bit of a big step this season, resulting in huge fluctuations in their record!
Guardiola is also reflecting on recently, reorganizing the team, maybe when Manchester City downshifted due to reality, Guardiola really came to the realization of pain.
Since his debut coaching, this season may be the worst for Guardiola!
When did he lead his team to compete for the top four in the league instead of the championship?
This is the season!
Even if Manchester City is not reinvented now, it has entered a stage of reshaping and correction.
In view of the previous failure to win Manchester United at home and a draw by Stoke City, Mo said that the fans did not have much confidence in them against Liverpool, I am afraid Guardiola is also a little bit worried.
What he fears most is that Situ Yunbing suddenly went crazy!
Once the madness of the team he coached came up, it would really block and kill the Buddha!
The starters of the two teams walked into the Etihad Stadium. Judging from the expressions of the players, the expressions of the players of the two teams are not relaxed!
Obviously, the mood for this game is slightly heavy.
Liverpool is about to reach the sprint stage of the season. At this time, it must be fully focused, and Manchester City's opponent should not be underestimated, even if Liverpool defeated Manchester City in the first half of the season!
Manchester City is under great pressure in the league, especially after the Champions League is eliminated. If they can't get the top four rankings in the league, then they are really laughing and generous!
What's more, they can't accept being double killed by Liverpool in the league!
Towards the end of the season, all kinds of pressure will be concentrated on the team, which is clear to both Situ Yunbing and Guardiola.
"Good afternoon everyone, everyone, Manchester is rainy today. Under these weather conditions, we came to the Etihad Stadium to witness the Manchester City vs. Liverpool match!
There are only 10 rounds left in the league. Liverpool lead Chelsea by 6 points and Manchester City by 16 points!
So there is no doubt that Manchester City has withdrawn from the championship early.
Manchester City's most realistic goal is to strive to get the top four rankings in the league. If not, Manchester City will refresh the lowest league ranking in the past seven years. This will inevitably belong to the shame of Guardiola's coaching career!
Liverpool are still unswervingly moving towards their five consecutive league titles and the Champions League four consecutive championships!
No one doubts that once Liverpool can continue their rule, then Liverpool may not only be the strongest team in the contemporary era, they are likely to create the strongest dynasty in the history of European football!
History first!
Today's contest is very important, I think the top three in London will pay attention to this confrontation.
Chelsea will expect Manchester City to beat Liverpool at home so that they have a chance to narrow the gap with the top spot. Arsenal may be a little more complicated. If Manchester City wins, the fourth match is a threat, but if Liverpool wins, Arsenal can almost announce. Quit the championship!
Spurs definitely support Liverpool, they don't want Manchester City to get a three-pointer!
Manchester City are not only fighting for the first four Champions League tickets at home, but more importantly, they need to defend their home and their dignity!
Has it been double-killed by Liverpool this season?
It sounds not unfamiliar, but Guardiola shoulders the important task of leading Manchester City to glory. How to break the psychological shadow that Liverpool brings to them is an absolutely important task!
Liverpool are now plagued by injuries. The injuries of Casemiro and Eriksson have made them recently adopt a simple British parallel 442 formation. I wonder if Situ Yunbing will continue to use this tactical style today.
Introduce the starting lineup of both sides.
Manchester City started 4141 at home today.
Goalkeeper: Caballero.
Defenders: Fernandinho, Stones, Otamendi, Clichy.
Midfielder: Mahrez, Silva, Yaya Touré, De Bruyne, Sterling.
Forward: Aguero.
Manchester City's formation today looks very offensive and aggressive. The midfielder must be organized and creative, and the wing must be aggressive!
I just don't know what the effect will be in actual combat.
Liverpool made a guest start today at 442.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Robertson.
Midfielder: Sane, Henderson, Kanter, Gareth Bale.
Forwards: Mbappé, Lewandowski.
Sure enough, Situ Yunbing continued to use the 442 formation used in recent games.
The kick-off ceremony before the game is over, let us enjoy the strong dialogue in the 29th round of the Premier League! "
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines facing the wind and rain with an indifferent expression, but in his heart he hoped that Manchester City could play more aggressively and actively, so that Liverpool could play a threat of counterattack.
Today, although his platoon formation on the away game does not seem to have changed much from the previous games, his tactics are actually more conservative.
Manchester City has two problems that have not been resolved this season. One is the veteran Zabaleta's inability to meet Guardiola's tactical requirements, and the other is the long-term recovery of defense leader Kompany.
Guardiola wanted to rely on a strong offense to cover up these two problems, but found that the Premier League really has no underdogs!
Therefore, one of these two problems can only be solved by signing in the summer, and the other is naturally that Kompany can recover from injury and quickly improve back!
The game is about to begin, Guardiola looks at Liverpool's formation, quite a sense of urgency for opponents to come down town, but at the same time he also hopes that Liverpool can play more aggressive away!
Because Manchester City does not have the capital to oppress Liverpool, this has been proved in the first half of the season!
And those games in which Manchester City was upset have been repeatedly proven!
The biggest flaw is that Otamendi's state is not stable enough, and Stones seems to be awkward to play under his hands from beginning to end!
If Liverpool can attack, Manchester City will be able to give full play to the advantages of strong creativity and speed advantage on the wing!
Both coaches have their own ideas, what will happen to the game?
The answer will only be revealed after the war begins.
