Chapter 1092: .1092 Good offense and defense

The crowded Anfield Stadium was full of voices. The game is about to begin. The players of the two teams have already started to stand in their respective half-court. The live broadcast captured the expressions of each player at this time. Their solemn expressions all represent the burden on their shoulders. Small pressure, but persistent eyes, it means rushing to victory and never giving up!
Situ Yunbing and Guardiola stood in their respective coaching areas with serious expressions, both of them cheered up and didn't want to miss every detail of the game!
The battle of 22 players on the field will begin with a whistle from the referee, and the game between Situ Yunbing and Guardiola will also begin at the same time!
When the audience heard the referee's whistle blowing the whistle for the start of the game, the shocking sound of cheering began to echo in Anfield Stadium!
Liverpool, who was sitting at home, took the lead in the kick-off. Eriksson received it from the back of the circle. When he turned around and knocked the ball back, Aguero rushed to his side to directly press Casemiro. It seems that Guardio La is absolutely very thorough in Liverpool's research, Eriksson did choose to choose Casemiro when Kanter and Casemiro were selected in the middle.
But this time Eriksson did not pass the ball to Casemiro, he did not pass the ball, but pulled the ball and turned!
Upon seeing this, Aguero immediately stopped and turned back to chase!
Eriksson waded the ball to the kick-off point in the middle circle to face De Bruyne and directly started a long pass!
Lewandowski, who moved forward after the kick-off, responded with his back in the middle of the penalty area. Kompany came up to confront him and put pressure on him. Lewandowski unloaded the ball from his chest and took a step back. Quickly knock across the right.
Mbappé changed inward and encountered Gundogan and Mendy's flanking attack. He touched the ball first and took the ball to the left side of the penalty area with his right foot!
Griezmann got rid of Walker in the inner cut, and facing the falling football it looked like Liverpool had broken through Manchester City's defense!
But Griezmann wanted to handle the ball but it was very difficult because it was too extreme!
When the football was about to fly out of the bottom line, Griezmann took a flying tackle, and the football shot from the left foot arch finally hit the goal side net.
Edson raised his hands to his teammates to signal that everything is safe!
call!
The audience was amazed!
After Liverpool opened the game, the first wave of simple attacks penetrated Manchester City's defense. If it weren't for Mbappe's passing quality, I am afraid that Griezmann would have a great opportunity to shoot!
"Wow! Less than 20 seconds after the start of the game, Liverpool completed the first shot!
Although Griezman failed to hit the ball within the goal range, Liverpool's offensive threat has already made Manchester City feel the pressure!
Perhaps this is why Liverpool chose Griezmann instead of Sane! "
If you talk about the ability to find opportunities in the penalty area, Griezmann is obviously better than Sane, who is more accustomed to possession of the ball to create threats. Manchester City's right back is Walker, and in terms of confrontation, it is definitely ranked in the Premier League right back. The first two, the other is healthy Azpilicueta.
Situ Yunbing knew that Manchester City could not fail to take foul tactics in this decisive battle without having to look at it with his own eyes. It is almost unrealistic for Sane to control the ball and get rid of Walker. Compared with repeated shocks to try his luck and hit the success rate, it is better to be first. Let Griezman play, Griezman's running ability will make him suffer from Volcker's defensive pressure to a minimum!
Manchester City did not quickly organize a threatening offensive without a possession of the ball. They passed patiently in the midfield and the speed was very fast. On the one hand, they wanted to enter the game quickly, and on the other hand, it was also the counter-grab pressure exerted on them by the Liverpool striker.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Gundogan had the ball in front of the center circle, and when he encountered Eriksson, the ball was shortly transmitted to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne did not pull the ball and turned around, but directly started the cross dribbling!
This makes Casemiro, who is closely guarding him, a bit uncomfortable. Passively following him will easily lead to regional defense negligence. If he does not keep up and exert pressure, then De Bruyne will easily create a threat once he has space.
Casemiro gritted his teeth to keep up while observing Kanter's position. The teammates fighting side by side would naturally not look on the sidelines at this time. Kanter stepped forward to prepare for a force against De Bruyne, and Casemiro returned when he saw it. Retreat to the front of the restricted area to act as a barrier, because Jingdong An is also in the running position and may create a threat at the front of the restricted area at any time.
Seeing Kanter hit, De Bruyne didn't make another trip to the ball, but sent the ball diagonally to Sterling's feet.
With the transition of the ball, Sterling pulled the ball and started to dribble forward. When facing Arnold, he took the outside line. He planned to see Arnold's reaction with a fake action, but he did not expect that Arnold would guard the inside and remain indifferent to his fake action.
Sterling simply accelerated the ball from the outside to the bottom.
Arnold chased and defended, Sterling kicked the ball back before the baseline, Arnold was still unmoved, Sterling kicked in and passed.
The football crossed a large arc over the Liverpool penalty area and then fell to the back of the penalty area!
Coulibaly and Van Dijk blocked Aguero, and barely kicked the shot from the far point. He was also not easy under Robertson's defense. He shot directly in front of the ball, but the football hit the goal range. Inside, but the near corner of the goal has been completely blocked by Ter Stegen, the Lion King easily held the ball in his arms.
Guardiola clapped his hands on the sidelines and gestured to let the team quickly return to defense!
"Man City also completed the first shot of the game, but did not create a threat.
The role of is somewhat similar to that of Griezmann. Today, Guardiola does not have Bernardo Silva, who has a better ability to break through the dribble. It must be considered that Bernardo Silva's current ability is probably It is difficult to make money in front of Liverpool's strong defense.
Liverpool opened the goal kick, Ter Stegen threw the ball to Van Dijk and launched a fast break from the back line! "
Van Dijk passed the ball obliquely to Robertson on the left. The latter moved the ball quickly, and chased him from behind. After Robertson slew the ball and killed halftime, he quickly met Cassemi who took the initiative. Luo completed the collision against the wall, which interfered with the pursuit of Jesus, and Robertson had already come to the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt when he re-held the ball.
Manchester City only has a defensive midfielder today, so they are unable to divide their forces to defend the sidelines.
Griezman pulled the side to create better space for Robertson, Walker returned to the penalty area, and Arnold’s defensive principles were basically the same. The line of direct inward cuts must never be given to the opponent. If the opponent wants to go outside, then it is also Can't control it!
The offensive strength of both sides is too strong, and they both pay great attention to the side attack. It is impossible to completely restrict the opponent on the side. You can only choose the lesser of two evils!
Robertson suddenly kicked and passed, and the football flew to the right side of the penalty area!
Offense diagonally!
One of Liverpool's good at play.
When Mbappe relied on the fast speed to cut in and came to the football position first, he took off and headed the ball to the middle of the goal!
Lewandowski followed up in the middle, Kompany gritted his teeth to block the opponent's running line. When the football flew, Kompany and Lewandowski took off at the same time. The Manchester City captain took the lead to touch the ball and head the ball to the stands. direction.
Liverpool corner kick attack!
Situ Yunbing took a deep breath from the sidelines. If Lewandowski accepts this attack, then it will be a chance to kill!
Eriksson opened a tactical corner kick, and most of Manchester City's defensive players remained in the penalty area and did not defend outward.
This is also Pep Guardiola's deployment. He knows that according to Manchester City's defensive strength, once the defense is on top, then there may be an open space in the penalty area and Liverpool will be hit by a fatal pass!
Especially when Manchester City thinks that they have restricted Eriksson, that is the most dangerous, because Liverpool’s player, the player who transports the threatening ball is obviously Eriksson, but it can bring inferiority. Robertson, Arnold, and even Casemiro and their forwards are threatened by his passing.
Since Manchester City is not defending, Liverpool naturally chose the most conventional way to create threats.
Casemiro completed a long shot to the right in front of the penalty area!
The football passed through the crowd, and the Manchester City generals chilled their backs. Looking back, the football deviated from the right goal post about half a meter and flew out of the bottom line, which made them slightly relieved.
"Casemiro's long-range shot missed! It's hard to say how pity this opportunity is. Compared to the threatening offensive that Liverpool have been able to create in the past, such shots are too common."
No need to remind Situ Yunbing, the Liverpool generals have quickly returned to defense.
Manchester City began to organize the offensive from the backcourt, and they obviously did not advance as fast as Liverpool.
Because their full-backs are weak in the technical aspects of the ball advancement, Walker and Mendy are unable to dribble and advance as quickly and flexibly as Arnold and Robertson. Another important reason is that they do not have a very broad vision. And organizational skills!
When two full-backs like Liverpool are in danger of being trapped, they will observe the running position of their teammates beforehand, and can cooperate with their teammates or pass the ball to safety at any time.
Therefore, the advancement of Manchester City's offensive organization depends more on the midfield.
Liverpool will naturally strengthen the midfield anti-grab and encirclement.
Manchester City's composure is a good performance. They will pass back if they fail to play in the midfield, and the midfielders will reorganize when they run out of position!
In the 10th minute of the game, when Fernandinho passed the ball to De Bruyne's feet, the latter happened to be closely guarded by Casemiro. De Bruyne knocked the ball back and Gundogan took the lead. The ball laps diagonally, passing the ball straight ahead just past the center line.
Sterling made a quick inside cut from the left to touch the ball first, but Arnold immediately pressed him. Sterling stopped and smashed the ball back, opened the distance from Arnold and then grabbed the ball before Kanter blocked it. Pass the right rib zone of the restricted area.
Looking for again!
Liverpool have strengthened their attention to the threat of Jesus’ insider. Couliba’s first retracement shook the ball to the side, and Robertson took possession of the ball on the left side of the backcourt to resolve the danger.
