Chapter 908: .908 Reached the fighting stage

After Manchester City equalized the score, the fighting spirit was also refreshed, as if they really had the confidence to play the role of a kingly killer!
In the 37th minute of the game, after De Bruyne met in the frontcourt again, Kanter’s close push almost caused De Bruyne to lose his weight and fell to the ground. When the referee ordered Kanter to force a foul behind him, Kanter and De Bruyne looked at each other. As a former teammate in Hamburg, De Bruyne knew that Kanter was not hurt.
Manchester City opened a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Silva's pass into the left side of the penalty area was very good, but Aguero's slow response caused the football to fly out of the baseline after hitting the ground.
When Liverpool regained control of the ball, Situ Yunbing gestured from the sidelines to allow the team to speed up further, and at the same time, the team strengthened the anti-grab oppression in the midfield!
Although the pace of the game was very fast from the beginning, Liverpool had some reservations after all.
Compared to the strong attack of the start, the attack before the end of the half is also a choice for seeking new changes.
Guardiola also gestured to the team at this time to let them strengthen their defense.
The first half of the game and the end of the game, if they can return to the locker room with a draw, this is a relatively good result for Manchester City. Don't lose the ball again!
Liverpool speeded up the pass in the frontcourt, but Manchester City's defensive line was delayed to a certain extent, which compressed the defensive space to a certain extent, which made it difficult for Liverpool to directly penetrate their defense through a quick pass.
Several consecutive simple attacks were not successful, and Manchester City's counterattack was too exposed. In addition, Liverpool's midfielder's counter-grab effort was increased, and they failed to make a threat.
The scene seems to have entered a stalemate, at this time Liverpool still insisted on a seemingly simple attack.
This makes Guardiola very puzzling.
Perhaps in his thinking, Situ Yunbing's team should pursue a more delicate and gorgeous offensive!
But they are trying the simplest attack method.
In the 44th minute of the game, when Robertson made an assist to the front court and sent an oblique kick, Mbappe retraced the ball from the center and knocked it back to Eriksson, who tried to drop the ball directly into the right rib of the penalty area. In the zone, I saw Gareth Berne cut to find a chance, and Stones took off after retreating to clear the ball with a header.
Fernandinho chose the header relay under the pressure of Eriksson.
The football flew to the direction of the center circle, Kanter preemptively controlled the ball, and then passed the ball diagonally to the left, Robertson kicked the ball straight.
After leading the ball from the wing, Sane made a forward breakthrough. Sabaletta retreated to defend. Sane stopped to pull the ball but took two steps back to dribble, 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 with a header to make a clearance.
The ball that was pushed out was preempted by Eriksson, and Yaya Toure quickly made a counter grab. Eriksson gently moved the ball to the right of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale made a direct kick and shot after receiving the ball here!
Krarov's return to the penalty area near the right rib could only block Gareth Bale's line of deviation from the outside.
Stones immediately rushed to try to complete the interception.
But at the very moment, Gareth Bale passed the ball lightly and shortly behind Stones!
At the same time, Liverpool midfielder Henderson and Stones passed by!
If Stones retreats and defends, it will be beyond reach!
Guardiola looked solemn on the sidelines, but he also understood Liverpool's tactical intentions with hindsight.
After Henderson reached the penalty area, he did not make adjustments to welcome the ball and directly kicked and shot!
Even if Otamendi gave up Mbappé and rushed towards him, it would not help!
Too decisive!
Henderson's football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Bravo swooped but failed to touch the football!
The Anfield stadium was full of cheers, Henderson rushed to the sidelines and roared passionately!
The Manchester City generals were poured cold water like a pawn, a bolt from the blue!
Guardiola wiped his face, it was really hard to accept the current situation.
"Henderson blasted the goal! Liverpool once again took the lead!
After several hanging attacks, Liverpool suddenly turned to pass and cut on the ground. Henderson's sudden insertion into the penalty area completely tore the Manchester City's defense!
Liverpool showed a superb technical and tactical level!
They put Guardiola's Manchester City into the most embarrassing situation in the away game: behind halftime! "
Situ Yunbing applauded for Henderson's goal.
In the past few years, the British Empire has produced many emperor stars, from Sterling to Ali, and then from Lingard to Rashford, but in the eyes of Situ Yunbing, none of them is more spiritually powerful than Henderson!
Henderson's simplicity and hard work is the key factor in his willingness to make great changes for his football dream. Compared with talent, he is indeed inferior to those British stars, but his role on the field is becoming more and more prominent!
He deserves applause!
Behind the applause, he used years of hard work to get rid of Situ Yunbing's unimaginable dedication.
They all say that they should be famous as early as possible, and come late, and happiness is not so happy.
Henderson became famous early, but he was labeled a parallel import after joining Liverpool. Now, outsiders put the label, he finally tore it off 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 a change of coach is like a knife change. If a coach with a relatively simple style and unpredictable, he might really be able to bring good results in the context of inspiring the team's new motivation and combat effectiveness.
But Guardiola is not just 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 phase.
For this reason, the technical and tactical effects that Manchester City can show at the technical and tactical level are also relatively basic, and it is difficult to perfectly show the more complex and more changes.
Compared with Liverpool, whether it is a simple offensive that transforms the complex into a simple offensive, or the delicate cooperation from the simple to the complex, they can manage freely. This shows that the overall combat effectiveness of Liverpool's team, especially in terms of technical and tactical qualities, is higher than Manchester City. More than one!
It seems that Liverpool played a simple offense for some time, but in fact they are paralyzing Manchester City!
This has the same effect as Guardiola's time when he led Barcelona to paralyze his opponent through changes in the passing and control rhythm.
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 to try this way!
Guardiola knows that even if the two teams are not the same in the lineup, but in terms of technical and tactical capabilities, Liverpool still leaves Manchester City far away!
2:1.
Liverpool managed to lead Manchester City again before the end of the half game.
Of course they will shrink their defenses to ensure that nothing happens before halftime.
Manchester City's last chance to attack before the end of the first half was from Yaya Toure to the front court and tried a long shot.
Failed to test Ter Stegen, the angle was too right, the Liverpool goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball.
At the end of the first half, the two teams returned to the locker room to rest.
Situ Yunbing fine-tuned the team's tactics in the locker room during the intermission.
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 the bait, I am afraid that it is a bit difficult at this stage.
Because of the decline of Yaya Toure's offensive tactics, this has led to the complete destruction of the core of Manchester City's familiar and formed play style in the past few years.
In the past, Manchester City’s strikers looked for Aguero and Dzeko, and if they could not start the situation, they turned to Yaya Toure. Generally, Yaya Toure can bring unexpected good results, but if Yaya Toure also misfires, then Manchester City is basically too. I stopped cooking.
It can be seen that Guardiola has obviously strengthened the threat of wingers in attack after taking office as Manchester City coach. Whether it is Sterling's role in the first half or Silva who scored goals, they are actually using wingers. The idea is working.
After the intermission, the two teams returned to the court to fight again.
In the enthusiastic cheering of the fans of the two teams, Manchester City stepped up the offensive as soon as they came up in the second half!
After the score is behind, Guardiola doesn't have much time to play Tai Chi with Liverpool. They naturally have to race against time. It is hard to say whether they can overtake the score. Trying to equalize is the top priority!
After Yaya Touré and De Bruyne quickly passed the ball in the center zone, seeing Henderson and Kanter stay on the ground to block, De Bruyne quickly passed the ball diagonally to Sterling.
When Sterling was in possession of the ball, Robertson stepped in tightly. Sterling could not find a good breakthrough opportunity and immediately sent the ball diagonally to the front center of the penalty area. Aguero responded to the ball and changed to a crosscut to find the empty. Kick shot!
Long shots outside the restricted area, unless there is no interference and adjusted to the best state, I am afraid it is difficult to break directly, unless it is a world wave!
The ball went straight to the upper right of the goal center. Ter Stegen was prepared to concentrate fully and steadily save and block the ball in the penalty area. Couliba first retreated and knocked the ball across the wing to Robertson.
When Robertson tried to launch a fast break, Sterling broke the ball out of the sideline first.
When Liverpool was preparing to take the sideline kick, Situ Yunbing's expression on the sidelines changed slightly!
Manchester City’s striker marking in the frontcourt is considered quite satisfactory, but the midfield and the back line are pressing forward, which is a bit unusual. Obviously, Guardiola's adjustment to Manchester City in the midfield requires Manchester City’s entire team to take full court in the second half. Press tactics!
It's almost a decisive battle tactic!
Situ Yunbing didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately gestured to the team to speed up the ball, and don't be muddled!
Manchester City want to suppress Liverpool at the door of Liverpool's home, but still trying to prevent Liverpool from fighting back?
It's a bit whimsical!
