The packed Anfield Stadium is crowded with people, and the game is about to begin. The players of the two teams have begun to stand in their respective half-court positions. The live broadcast camera captures the expressions of each player at this time. Their solemn expressions represent a considerable pressure on their shoulders, but their persistent eyes represent rushing towards victory and never giving up!

Situ Yunbing and Guardiola stood in their respective coaching areas with serious expressions. Both of them cheered up and did not want to miss every detail of the game!

The battle between 22 players on the field will begin with the referee's whistle, and the game between Situ Yunbing and Guardiola will also begin at the same time!

When the audience heard the referee whistle blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, the sound of earth-shaking cheer began to echo at Anfield Stadium!

Liverpool, who was at home, took the lead in kicking off the ball, Eriksen responded from the back of the center circle. When he turned around and knocked the ball back, Aguero rushed past him and pressed Casemiro directly. It seems that Guardiola must have a thorough study of Liverpool. Eriksen did choose back passes in the middle and choose between Kante and Casemiro. He would prefer to choose Casemiro when he chose one of the two.

But this time Eriksen did not pass the ball to Casemiro, so he did not pass the ball, but pulled the ball and turned around!

Seeing this, Aguero immediately stopped quickly and turned around and chased him!

Eriksen dribbled the ball and came to the center circle to face De Bruyne, and directly made a long pass!

After the kickoff, Lewandowski, who was running forward, responded with his back in the middle of the penalty area. Kompany came up to fight and put pressure on him. Lewandowski removed the ball with his chest and retreated and quickly hit the ball across the right.

Mbappe changed his inward cut and encountered a slam attack from Gundogan and Mendy. He touched the ball first and picked the ball towards the left rib of the penalty area with his right foot!

Griezmann got rid of Walker in the inward cut, and facing the falling football, it seemed that Liverpool had broken through Manchester City's defense!

But it is difficult for Griezmann to handle the ball because it is too extreme!

When the football was about to fly out of the baseline, Griezmann flew into a shovel, and the football shot from his left foot arch was finally hit on the net by the goal.

Ederson raised his hand to his teammates to show that everything was safe!

call!

The audience was amazed!

Liverpool's first simple attack broke through Manchester City's defense line after the opening. If Mbappe hadn't had the poor quality of passing, I'm afraid Griezmann would have had an excellent chance to kick and shoot!

"Wow! Liverpool completed its first shot in less than 20 seconds just after the game started!

Although Griezmann failed to hit the ball within goal, Liverpool's offensive threat has already made Manchester City feel the pressure!

Perhaps this is why Liverpool chose Griezmann today without joining Sane!”

If you are talking about the ability to find opportunities in the penalty area, Griezmann is obviously stronger than Sane, who is more accustomed to possessing the ball and creating threats. Manchester City's right back is Walker, and his confrontation is definitely in the top two in the right back of the Premier League, and the other is the healthy Azpilicueta.

Situ Yunbing doesn't have to see with his own eyes that Manchester City cannot not adopt foul tactics in this decisive battle. It is almost unrealistic for Sane to control the ball and get rid of Waller. Compared to repeatedly attacking and trying his luck in the success rate, it is better to let Griezmann play first. Griezmann's running ability will minimize his defensive pressure from Waller!

Manchester City quickly organized a threatening offensive without taking the ball. The midfield and backcourt passed patiently, and the speed was very fast. On the one hand, they had to quickly enter the game state, and on the other hand, it was also the counter-attack pressure put on them by Liverpool's forward line.

In the third minute of the game, Gundogan took the ball in front of the center circle, and when he encountered Eriksen, he shorted the ball to De Bruyne's feet.

De Bruyne did not pull the ball and turned around, but directly activated the dribble sideways!

This makes Casemiro, who is close to him, feels a little uncomfortable. Passively following him can easily lead to dereliction of duty in the area defense. If he doesn't keep up and put pressure on him, then De Bruyne will easily create a threat after he has room.

Casemiro gritted his teeth and followed, observing Kante's position at the same time. The teammates who fought side by side naturally would not watch at this time. Kante went forward to prepare to press De Bruyne. Seeing this, Casemiro retreated to the front of the penalty area as a barrier, because JD.com is also running and may create a threat at the front of the penalty area at any time.

Seeing that Kante was at the sight of his death, De Bruyne did not dribble the ball, but instead sent the ball to Sterling's feet.

The ball rights transitioned, Sterling pulled the ball and started to move forward and dribbled. When facing Arnold, he made a move to the outside line. He originally planned to use a fake move to see Arnold's reaction, but he did not expect Arnold to guard the inside and remain indifferent to his fake moves.

Sterling simply dribbled the ball naturally and accelerated from the outside.

Arnold returned to follow the defense, and Sterling kicked the ball back in front of the baseline. Arnold was still unmoved, and Sterling made a cross.

The football drew a big arc over the Liverpool penalty area and fell to the back of the penalty area!

Coolibali and Van Dijk blocked Aguero, and Jesus barely shot from the far point. He was not easy under Robertson's defense, and directly shot. As a result, although the football hit the goal range, the near corner of the goal had been completely blocked by Ter Stegen, and the Lion King easily held the ball in his arms.

Guardiola clapped and clapped on the sidelines and made a gesture to let the team return to defense quickly!

"Manchester City also completed its first shot in the game, but it did not create a threat.

Jesus' role is somewhat similar to Griezmann. Today, Guardiola does not have Bernardo Silva, who has better ability to break through on the drift, must have considered that it is difficult for Bernardo Silva to get a bargain in the face of Liverpool's strong defense with his current ability.

Liverpool took the goal, Ter Stegen threw the ball to Van Dijk and launched a fast break from the back!"

Van Dijk passed the ball diagonally to Robertson on the left side, who quickly dribbled the ball forward, and Jesus chased him from behind. After Robertson dribbled through half the game, he quickly cooperated with Casemiro, who took the initiative to respond, which interfered with Jesus' pursuit. When Robertson controlled the ball again, he had already arrived at the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt offense.

Manchester City only has one defensive midfielder today, so they are unable to divide the troops and defend the wing.

Griezmann pulled the edge to create better space for Robertson, and Waller reclaimed to the penalty area, which was basically the same as Arnold's defensive principle. Direct inward lines must not be given to the opponent. If the opponent wants to go to the outside line, then he can't control it!

Both sides have too strong offensive strength and pay great attention to attacking on the wing. It is impossible to completely limit the opponent on the wing. You can only choose the least!

Robertson suddenly made a cross and the football flew to the right rib of the penalty area!

Diagonal offense!

One of the ways Liverpool is good at.

When Mbappe came to the football landing point first with his speed of incisive speed, he jumped and headed the ball to ferry the middle of the goal!

Lewandowski followed up in the middle, Kompany gritted her teeth to block the opponent's running route. When the football flew over, Kompany and Lewandowski jumped at the same time. The Manchester City captain took the lead and hit the ball and headed the ball to the stands.

Liverpool's corner kick attack!

Situ Yunbing took a deep breath on the sidelines. If Lewandowski responded to this attack, it would be a chance to kill!

Erikson took a tactical corner kick, and most of Manchester City's defensive players stayed in the penalty area without pushing outwards.

This is also Guardiola's deployment. He knows that according to Manchester City's defensive strength, if he tops the defense, there may be a gap in the penalty area and be penetrated by Liverpool with a fatal pass!

Especially when Manchester City thinks they have restricted Eriksen, that is the most dangerous, because Liverpool's players who play the ball and the players who deliver the threat are Eriksen on the surface, but those who can bring about the threat of passing are Robertson, Arnold, and even Casemiro and their forwards.

Since Manchester City is not on the defense, Liverpool naturally chose the most conventional way to create threats.

Casemiro completed a long shot from the right side of the penalty area!

The football flew through the crowd, and the Manchester City generals felt a chill on their backs. When they looked back, they saw that the football flew out of the right goal post about half a meter away from the baseline, which made them feel a little relieved.

"Casemiro's long-range shot missed! It's hard to say how a pity this opportunity is. Compared to the threatening offensive that Liverpool can create in the past, such shots are too common."

There is no need for Situ Yunbing to remind him that the Liverpool generals have returned to defense quickly.

Manchester City started organizing the offensive from the backcourt, and their advancement was obviously not as fast as Liverpool.

Because their full-backs are weak in the technical aspects of ball control and propulsion, Waller and Mendy cannot be as skilled, fast and flexible as Arnold and Robertson. Another important reason is that they do not have a very broad vision and organizational ability!

When two full-backs in Liverpool are in danger of being caught in a pinch, they will observe their teammates' running positions before, and can cooperate with their teammates at any time or pass the ball to safety.

Therefore, Manchester City's offensive organizational advancement depends more on the midfield.

Liverpool will naturally strengthen the midfield counterattack and encirclement.

It is a good performance for Manchester City to be calm. They can pass the game back if they can't play in the midfield. The midfielders can run freely and then reorganize again!

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 led the ball diagonally and passed the ball straight ahead just after crossing the center line.

Sterling quickly cut in from the left and touched the ball first, but Arnold followed closely and pressed him. Sterling stopped and dribbled back, opened the distance from Arnold, and then passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area before Kanter blocked.

Looking for Jesus again!
Chapter completed!
