Chapter 594: .594 United City

Manchester City hired Pellegrini to coach obviously not to make the team stabilize the position of the top four Premier League first group, they need a championship!
Premier League champion, Champions League champion!
Manchester City won the Premier League title in 12 years, but that was obviously not enough, especially in the context of their extreme weakness in the European war.
The humiliation brought to Manchester City by Liverpool's strong recovery last season is a shot in the arm. Even if the two clubs have not become mortal enemies, the emotion of the team confrontation this season has reached the culmination of history!
Perhaps there will be an upward trend in the future, which will replace the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United.
The confrontation between Liverpool and Manchester United is given by history, while the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City is driven by the current competition.
Therefore, against Liverpool, Manchester City have ample reasons to unite and strive for victory.
There will only be one champion, Liverpool on the throne is Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United are thorny in their eyes, and soon after wanting to get rid of!
But how to do it?
Pellegrini dare not say that he has full confidence, but he knows that Manchester City first need to take a low profile when facing Liverpool. If this is not even possible, then it will only repeat the same mistakes, without a second result.
Therefore, in this boxing day first battle, people saw that Manchester City did not play at home with the prestige and momentum that they should have at home.
They appear cautious, guarding their wings carefully, and do not give their opponents the slightest opportunity to take advantage of them. Even if they find a warning sign, they will go all out to remedy it.
In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool continued the play after the opening, with simple positional battles, and always ready for the second attack and speed up!
When Gerrard dropped the ball into the penalty area from the right front, Kompany pressured the inside-cut Gareth Bale with a header to make a clearance.
The football that was cleared was knocked across by Coutinho, who was robbed in advance, and sent to the left. Robertson assisted and then knocked the ball across the middle. Coutinho forced the ball to the middle of Fernandinho. After missing, Eriksson quickly jumped the ball forward, but found that Yaya Toure was in front of him. Eriksson's hastily sent through the ball seemed aimless, and Suarez went into the penalty area. Trying to grab a spot, Joe Hart attacked first and confiscated the ball.
Pellegrini applauded from the sidelines and then waved to let the team organize a fast break.
Situ Yun’s face is sinking, and it is undeniable that Manchester City’s defense is indeed very tough. Aya Turega Fernandinhoben is a rare and tough combination in European football. Outside Kompany and Lescott Two old rivers and lakes, if Liverpool want to make trouble in front of them, they still need to show stronger ability.
Manchester City counterattacked, Krarov on the left side of the ball and Silva who took the initiative to hit the wall and dodged the counter-grab from Gerrard, followed by Krarov near the center line and passed the ball diagonally to the center zone. , Negredo responded with a quick shot and moved to the right.
When Navas stepped forward to touch the ball, he strode the ball to a place ten yards away behind Robertson, and then broke through the outside line with his super speed ability!
The ball is divided!
Navas does have such speed capabilities!
Situ Yunbing determined the tactics of Manchester City today. Defensive counterattack is only a high-level overall tactical definition. How to counterattack in specific details is reflected in the way of attack.
Navas has speed, Nasri is not slow, Negredo has the ability to fight as an offensive fulcrum, Silva and Yaya Toure instigate the middle road, Yaya Toure defensive task is greater than offense, Silva in turn attack the organization More than defensively, Krarov and Sabaletta backcourt. The purpose of the whole system is to break through Liverpool's midfield blockade, and then rely on Navas's speed and ability to play an offensive depth advantage, and then it is Navas himself It's time to find Nasri or Silva to deal with Huanglong.
When Navas quickly pushed the offensive force to the edge of the penalty area, Van Dijk and Benatia were in a quick retreat. Navas may be a little anxious and passed the ball directly.
This made Nasri's response slightly reluctant to follow up. In the end, although he stretched his leg to touch the ball, he failed to stop the ball. The football was blocked in the penalty area, and Ter Stegen struck out to hold the ball.
Anyone can see that Manchester City has completed 80% of the work in this counterattack, but in the final 20%, Nasri failed to stop the ball. The limit was reluctant and there was no shot at the same time, which is regrettable.
Pellegrini was not disappointed at all. Instead, he applauded to motivate the team's morale, and at least he penetrated Liverpool's defense in this way!
The tactical arrangements that represent him are still very effective.
Situ Yunbing was caught in an embarrassing situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liverpool's high-pressure defensive strategy has a huge hidden danger, that is, there is too much room for Manchester City to counterattack!
In the midfield they lacked a stronger ability to mop up.
If Kanter is on the field, then it may put a lot of pressure on Manchester City's counterattack organization, and it will also allow Liverpool's second attack or even a continuous attack to be guaranteed.
But Kanter is not on the court now.
In an away game, Liverpool can take back and play more conservatively.
But the choice facing Situ Yunbing is to be a top-tier team. They have their own playing style and pursuit. Just like other giants in the world, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, they also insisted on most of the games. Oppress the opponent instead of winning the game in a utilitarian way.
For Liverpool, there is no baggage on style, but what kind of game is more beneficial to the team's long-term construction. At this point, Situ Yunbing does not need to think too much, and it must be a more active play to get the ball. The captain is prosperous, because a slightly passive play will relatively wear down the talent and passion of the players.
After weighing left and right, Situ Yunbing still insisted on his pre-match tactical deployment!
Since the direction has long been determined, he can't change his mind just because of some setbacks, and vacillation is not his usual style.
In the 12th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly attacked the front court and Gareth Bale sprinted the ball from the left. When he faced Zabaleta, he completed the pass and cooperated with Suarez, who took the initiative to respond, and turned back. Enter the cross-cutting track and enter the penalty area.
Kompany immediately ran to block his passing lane, but Gareth Bale knocked the ball back to the wing outside the penalty area.
Sabaletta has been included in the penalty area to follow the defense, and the wing is empty. Robertson stopped the ball here and adjusted it before sending the pass.
The football flew to the back of the penalty area. Due to Gareth Bale and Suarez's previous threats, Manchester City's defense was concentrated on the left rib of the penalty area. Now Robertson's cross ball hits the right rib with a loose defense.
Lescott could not head the ball to clear the siege, and when he turned to look at the goal of the football, he immediately blocked Gerrard's shooting angle.
But Gerrard made a move that made him feel incredible.
Gerrard volleyed the ball towards the center zone with his foot in front of the falling football.
Suarez ran away to grab the ball before Kompany blocked it!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, and Joe Hart stood motionless in front of the goal line!
"The goal is scored! Suarez's eye-catching shot is Liverpool's first victory at the Etihad Stadium!
Manchester City's defense was blown up this time, and Liverpool's ability to cooperate in positional warfare is getting stronger and stronger. Gerrard's assist is really a magical stroke. No one thought that he would choose to pass the ball instead of shooting!
But this is where Liverpool are now scary. They can always handle the ball calmly when opportunities arise!
Liverpool will be the next city first. I think the pressure on Manchester City will be even greater! "
Situ Yunbing clenched his fist and waved heavily. The team did not let him down. This goal is very important. It will boost the team's morale and also cause a psychological blow to Manchester City!
The Manchester City fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium are not happy anymore, but Pellegrini has a very firm expression. He firmly believes that Manchester City can produce the results he wants!
As long as Liverpool still insists on being so domineering away!
After Manchester City kicked off, their positional attack was actually very general, and it was difficult for Liverpool to create opportunities under strict precautions.
But they have high efficiency in counterattacks, because their confrontation is obviously improved after losing the ball!
In the 18th minute of the game, when Suarez's shot from the penalty area was blocked by Lescott, Eriksen was actively grabbed by Yaya Toure and intercepted as soon as he stopped the ball!
Yaya Toure slapped the ball to push the offense, facing Casemiro forcibly wading the ball to change direction. Although he was entangled by Casemiro, he still used strong physical confrontation to protect the ball, and then the ball was diagonally transmitted to Na At the feet of Gas.
Navas knocked the ball across the middle when Benatia and Robertson started to block him. Silva took the initiative to pull the ball and turned to open the distance with Van Dijk, and then sent a through ball.
Nasri succeeded in reversing offside and got rid of Azpilicueta's defense and went to the meeting alone!
Ter Stegen abandoned the door and Nasri chose to volley when he was five meters away from Ter Stegen!
Ter Stegen struggled to save the block but still failed to touch the football. The football hit the inside of the right post and bounced into the goal under the eyes of everyone!
Nasri rushed to Jiaoqi District to celebrate with passion!
Pellegrini clenched a fist to celebrate, boosting morale!
"Man City equalized the score! They equalized it soon!
Nasri took over Silva's exquisite through to complete a single-handed goal!
Yaya Toure’s interception and advancement are the key to this counterattack. He disrupted Liverpool’s midfield defense. Manchester City’s unwilling performance at home gave me a hunch that maybe Liverpool will be at the Etihad Stadium today. Taste the taste of the first Premier League defeat of the season!
Unless they change their play now and give up the tactical play of high position pressure.
But I think Situ Yunbing is a stubborn person. He expects Liverpool to show a strong pressure at the Etihad Stadium, because they are the Premier League champions. They have to look different and appear to be able to surpass all other teams. Above! "
