Origi was a little unhappy.

When Sturridge left the game, he thought he could get a chance to play, but in the end he wasn't him who was called out by Rodgers.

Not even any forward.

But vice captain Henderson.

As for the forward's position... it was occupied by a guy wearing a No. 8 jersey!

-

"Rogers' move is definitely beyond Pellegrini's expectations!"

Zhan Tianjun smiled happily:

"Long Shute changed to a forward, which is equivalent to putting a nuclear weapon on Manchester City's back line. As long as he stood there, Manchester City's defender would not dare to step forward at will to participate in the attack, otherwise Liverpool would use counterattacks to break through the defense line in minutes!"

"Hehe, from this subtle adjustment, we can indeed see that the head coach Rodgers still has some ideas," Zhang Lu also smiled, "Of course, the premise is that he has players like Long Shute who are shocking enough."

-

Pellegrini watched Liverpool players retreat into his 30-meter area like a tide, leaving only Long Shute alone in front.

But he was powerless.

His team is not good at fighting!

What? You said to adopt the most traditional long-pass hoisting tactic?

Who did you ask to compete for the header?

You know... Aguero's height is as tall as his good friend Boss Mei!

Liverpool's two central defenders are at least half a head higher than the Argentine striker!

-

If it is in the league, Pellegrini is likely to make the team strengthen its offensive, but this game is the final after all. As the head coach, he has to be more cautious, otherwise he is likely to be a tragedy by the fierce fire Liverpool.

Otamendi and Kompani stood firmly at the end of the defense line throughout the first half. Even if they were unable to attack the frontcourt, they did not move forward rashly. Even the two full-backs were particularly careful when participating in the offense.

Liverpool retreated across the board, and it was difficult for Manchester City's offense to form a substantial threat. The game slowly went to the second half in such a situation.

Compared to Rogers, who pretended to be calm, Pellegrini was in a more and more anxious mood.

When the Chilean engineer saw that in the 53rd minute, Silva tried his best to send the ball to Liverpool's defense line, Aguero, who had formed a single shot, slipped out with a low shot, Petty finally couldn't sit still.

In the face of intensive defense like Liverpool, ground penetration is a dead end!

The Chilean, who has never been known for his boldness, made two consecutive adjustments in the 60th minute: 20-year-old forward Isinacho and wing veteran Kolarov replaced Fernando and Krish respectively, obviously preparing to strengthen the offensive.

But he was soon disappointed. Nigerian young player Isinacho was tall and 187, but he did not like to rely on his body and central defenders to squeeze the space. Facing the tall and powerful Badstuber, who had a deep expression of bitterness and hatred, and the fierce and impulsive and savage Lovren, he was actually squeezed out of the penalty area by Liverpool's two defenders!

Aguero couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at this unreliable teammate:

If you want to win, you have to rely on yourself!

-

"drop!"

In the 82nd minute, seeing that Manchester City could not capture for a long time, but there was no time left. Liverpool even began to use the opportunity to substitute to delay time. Referee Oliver finally revealed his true face.

It was still from Silva's oblique pass. Aguerobo had the opportunity to catch up with the pass and penetrate the penalty area, but was touched by Henderson, who was retreating to assist in defense. The Argentine striker immediately rolled around with his legs in his arms. Oliver, who had a clear understanding, immediately awarded a penalty!

"This is a normal body collision! Is it good that I got stuck in my position?!"

Henderson complained to the referee in grievance. Oliver, who had not wanted to take out the yellow card, immediately made up for him...

"Calm down, Jordan."

Long Shute patted his teammates and comforted him.

Then he stood at the top of the arc in the penalty area and activated the system to call out Aguero's career data.

His shooting habits, especially the direction, height, strength, success, failure... Hundreds of data were sorted out in an instant.

High-tech plug-ins are good!

-

Liverpool second goalkeeper Adam Bogdan is unprecedentedly nervous.

Although the League Cup final is just an insignificant game for Long Shute, for him, it is already the highest level of competition he has participated in in his career.

As the second goalkeeper, if it weren't for the rotation promoted by Long Shute, he would probably not be able to get three opportunities to play in a season.

Although he has played more than a dozen games in various cup and league this season, he still has difficulty restraining his nervousness against Aguero.

Aguero...that's not an ordinary person!

That is the only player on the Premier League who can score more than 20 league goals in five consecutive seasons!

When that man played seriously...even Messi couldn't let him pass the ball!

Too scary!

Bogdan wanted to concentrate, but his mind was still uncontrollable and his eyes were even a little vague.

Until he saw the figure standing behind Aguero.

Bogdan's eyes couldn't help but condense, and he saw Long Shute's gesture clearly.

Punch yourself in the lower left corner?

Before he could think about it, he saw that Aguero had completed the run-up and...she kicked the football!

Bogdan almost subconsciously kicked his legs and flew out horizontally!

Punch the lower left corner!

Aguero's face suddenly became gloomy!

The direction he kicked... was his lower right corner!

The unknown substitute goalkeeper... actually held his shot directly in his arms!

How is this TMD possible?!

-

Stopped!

"I'm invincible!"

Bogdan whistled to the sky, his heart full of ecstasy.

He even saw Miniole on the bench with a forced smile!

Now... are you feeling the pressure?!

"Adam!"

But before his long roar was over, he heard someone calling his name not far away.

Bogdan immediately restrained his smile, waved his long arm hard, and the ball flew straight out!

-

"The goalkeeper quickly sent a throw...is this Liverpool's counterattack?!"

Zhan Tianjun finally waited for this moment, and his voice couldn't help but increase by three points.

During this period of time, although he had always been very energetic, he knew that the game was not exciting. After all, Liverpool was really using the substitute to play against Manchester City's main players. It was too difficult for them to make it difficult for them to play.

-

Long Shute turned his head slightly, let Bogdan throw the ball by hand, then gently raised his foot, and completed the move of unloading the ball before the ball was unloaded.

"Beautiful! This is the world's top ball removal!"

Former professional goalkeeper Zhang Lu applauded:

"If the ball is thrown by hand over 30 meters, most professional players will have a rebounding action if they want to stop the ball. Only Messi, Iniesta, Neymar, Longshy... can players with a top-level ball sense complete such a light-weight move. Watching them play football, although it is just a simple action, they can experience the enjoyment of beauty!"

Zhan Tianjun added:

"What is even more admirable is that Long Shute completed unloading the ball during the high-speed start, and it did not affect his advancement at all!"

-

It is probably not particularly difficult to stop the ball perfectly. If you stand there, even Chinese players are 1% likely to do it, but if you can still complete it while running at high speed, it is much more valuable.

Long Shute not only lightly removed the ball flying from the back of the side, but also penetrated Yaya Toure's gear, which was even more shocking!

Next, Kompany's flying tackle also failed to block him or the ball, because Long Shute had already rubbed the ball with his toes for half a meter, and then drove the ball through the Manchester City captain!

The obstacle between Long Shute and the goalkeeper... is only Otamendi left!

Otamendi is definitely not a central defender who is good at squatting. He is better at using his momentum to shock his opponents, so he did not compete with Long Shute to retreat, but rushed over without hesitation!

His heart was like a mirror: Today's referee is theirs, even if he takes a worse tactical foul, at most he will only have a yellow card!

He was just about to let go, but found that... the ball was gone!
