662 Retribution!
Given the situation in the first half, Situ Yunbing has almost understood the situation of Manchester City in the new season. He is ready to create some situations for his opponent. If he can cause a heavy blow to Manchester City at Etihad, it will undoubtedly bring a serious blow to his opponent's morale and morale!
He actively made adjustments to midfield training, and Liverpool slightly changed its tactics in the second half.
After the halftime break, the two teams returned to the court to change sides and then fight.
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines with a calm expression, while Pellegrini still looked solemn. Perhaps the condition in the locker room was not very good during the intermission.
At this time, there is a lot of pressure on everyone in Manchester City, and there will inevitably be certain negative emotions on the psychological level.
After the second half, Manchester City was obviously fighting with a determination to go all out!
They must save face at home and must win the game back!
In the 47th minute of the game, Silva formed a local offensive advantage with Sterling from the right. After restraining Liverpool's defensive forces, Sterling passed the ball back, and Silva transferred the ball to the left with a large-scale transfer.
Nasri quickly dribbled the ball down the bottom and swept the ball across the penalty area. Aguero took the initiative to get the ball and shot at a small angle. The football flew to the near corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen steadily blocked his shot!
The Manchester City generals are encouraging morale to each other, and it seems that this threatening offensive is a positive sign!
Two minutes later, Liverpool significantly reduced its formation and carried out crazy encirclement in the midfield. After Coutinho retreated, he also joined the encirclement and suppression team. There were almost only Lewandowski and Gareth Bale in front of him.
Even so, the two of them will harasse Manchester City's offensive organization in the backcourt.
When Yaya Toure passed the ball diagonally to Sterling on the wing in the middle of the frontcourt, Silva and he stepped forward to try to disrupt Liverpool's defense, but Sterling's cross was of poor quality due to Robertson's interference. Benatia blocked the ball directly at the front point of the penalty area!
Coutinho immediately activated a fast break by controlling the ball in the backcourt, and Liverpool passed the ball to the frontcourt with three passes and two passes.
Gareth Bale quickly stepped forward when Lewandowski took the ball, which led to the Manchester City back line to retreat quickly. At this time, the gap in the front of the penalty area was exposed!
Eriksen, who was inserted in the back, responded to Lewandowski's pass and spiked the ball under his feet to avoid the press from Demikelis. He knocked the ball across when Kompany grabbed it. Lewandowski took the opportunity to swipe the ball and broke through Manchester City's back line!
Go to the meeting alone!
Facing goalkeeper Johart, Lewandowski calmly shot and sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
Johart is really broken!
Manchester City is about to turn the tables, but it seems to be selling him as the goalkeeper!
"Lewandowski scored twice! Liverpool scored his fourth goal!
Now they lead Manchester City 4:1 away!
This is definitely a trend we didn't expect before the game!
Liverpool showed stronger strength than Manchester City, but Manchester City's way of dealing with it when they were lagging behind was too simple. None of them made people feel a stronger counterattack!
I think Pellegrini can try something bolder, such as adding a center!"
Pellegrini gritted his teeth secretly. Perhaps he had figured it out at this moment. Since he could not let Yaya Toure stay in the midfield and backcourt with peace of mind to strengthen his defense, then just release Yaya Toure!
It is better to be loose than to block!
When Manchester City fans were already feeling a little discouraged, Pellegrini made a substitution decision.
Fernandinho made his debut, replaced Nasri, and then asked Silva to move to the left, and Yaya Toure hit behind Aguero!
Fernandinho and Fernando play double midfielders to strengthen full-back assists!
After Liverpool's side Situ Yunbing and the coaches celebrated the goal, they were not surprised by Pellegrini's adjustment. In fact, this is also a good choice. At least the players perform their own duties, and no one is unhappy!
Liverpool's style of playing in the second half was to change the lineup and play 442, strengthen the interception and counter-attack in the midfield, take advantage of Manchester City's anxious and urgent mentality, and immediately catch the opponent's defense line off guard as long as the defense is successful!
As the game continues, Red Army fans have begun to sing songs in unison to praise the team!
Manchester City still has the effect after substitution, especially when Yaya Toure's fulcrum role in the near-front position is more prominent than many regular centers!
In the 61st minute of the game, when Silva made a half-high pass from the side, Yaya Toure received a protective ball with his back to resist the counter-attack pressure from Benatia, he pulled the ball and resisted the attack from Casemiro and Benatia. He pushed the ball into the bottom line of the right rib of the penalty area. Sterling quickly cut from the wing and killed it to a sweep and sent the ball to the front area.
Although Van Dijk followed Aguero, the latter took the initiative to run and hit the goal and still had the initiative. After shooting the ball pad first at the goal, Ter Stegen's save had tried his best and failed to block the ball!
"Aguero scored a goal!
Although this goal came from Sterling's assist, Yaya Toure made an indelible contribution. His strong confrontational force was effective in the frontcourt. If Manchester City had played like this earlier, they might have scored more goals!
Situ Yunbing's expression was a little unfavorable. Maybe he was a little dissatisfied with Benatia's failure to limit Yaya Toure.
But Liverpool is completely impossible to fall into anxiety, they still lead Manchester City 4:2!"
Manchester City fans in the stands saw hope and began to cheer for the team with cheers, trying to cover the momentum of Liverpool fans!
Pellegrini clenched his fist and waved it hard. He thought he might have thought something wrong!
Wouldn't it be better to use Yaya Toure as a simple offensive player?
Why do you have to put him in a defensive position with preconceived idea?
At least now it seems that Yaya Toure can continue his great contribution on the offensive end last season!
Situ Yunbing doesn't think so, because Yaya Toure's position forward will squeeze Silva's swing space to a certain extent. If Manchester City expects Fernando and Fernandinho to do a good job in the midfield and backcourt, this may not be a big problem, but this position also involves another very important role: the hub of offense and defense conversion!
Liverpool's side Casemiro and Kante have certain abilities to undertake such tasks, because they were instilled with such awareness when they grew up under Situ Yunbing, and they would not neglect this in terms of their ability cultivation and growth direction.
But Manchester City may not be.
Manchester City began to race against time, and the more radical the offense they were, they seemed to be a little more trying to suppress Liverpool's crazy attack.
Van Dijk made a key interception in the defense, Ter Stegen also made a wonderful save, and Manchester City's offensive was higher and higher!
But in the 75th minute of the game, when Lewandowski counterattacked Fernando, the latter's goal from the left of the frontcourt was decisively intercepted by Azpilicueta!
After intercepting the ball, Azpilicueta passed the ball straight ahead without any hesitation.
Erikson stopped the ball and adjusted it and sent out a straight pass over the top!
Gareth Bale quickly counterattacked offside Lieutenant General Demikalis and Kompany were behind!
Two Manchester City defenders looked at Gareth Bale's back while chasing back. When Gareth Bale rushed into the penalty area, Joe Hart had already abandoned the goal and came out to kill him. Gareth Bale jumped directly and headed to attack!
After being pushed by him, the football went over Johart's head, creating a sense of déjörze!
The football drew a parabola and fell into Manchester City's empty goal!
Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium lowered their heads in disappointment.
Reds fans cheered Gareth Bale wildly, and Gareth Bale ran to the sidelines with a smile after scoring the goal while waving to Eriksen!
After Erikson ran to the sidelines, Gareth Bale pointed his finger at Erikson at the fans, indicating that his pass was great!
"Garez Bale headed the ball! Liverpool may be the best team in the world to interpret what a position counterattack is!
What did they have from intercepting the ball to scoring?
Azpilicueta passed the ball, Eriksen passed the ball, Gareth Bale headed the ball, the ball went in! The ball went in!
Three players passed the ball with two passes and scored one shot, and the score was rewritten!
This is also why many European media have mentioned a point when analyzing Liverpool in the last stage of the Champions League last season: Liverpool must not be allowed to score first!
Because once Liverpool scores a goal, there will be many ways for Liverpool to further use its advantages to defeat their opponents, including shrinking the formation and specifically seizing counterattack opportunities to play a lightning fast break!
Their counterattack is different from traditional defensive counterattacks. They prefer to make surprise attacks from the 15-yard area in the front and back of the midfield, which catches the opponent off guard and has no time to adjust the defense line!
Manchester City is behind three goals again. I think this score is combined with the current time point. I think there is no suspense in the game. Manchester City will lose this highly anticipated battle at home!
But for fans and spectators, this game is exciting enough, because 7 goals have been born!
We have seen Liverpool's strength and the problems exposed by Manchester City. If we get any inspiration from this game, it is that in the arms race of top teams, coaching is also a link that cannot be ignored, not just competition in the player lineup.
Pellegrini is a good coach, but after a season, it seems difficult for us to have a certain range of expectations for him. He can hold up Manchester City's lower limit, but it cannot stimulate the upper limit of this team. Their ceiling seems to be like this, and it cannot make Manchester City among the top four in European football, let alone become the king of European football!
Situ Yunbing has proven in Monaco and Hamburg that he can lead the small team to success. We don’t need to discuss his abilities, we just need to ask ourselves a question, and you will know that my point of view just now is absolutely correct. The difference in coaching ability is crucial in top confrontations and may even become the decisive point!
The question is: if the players remain unchanged, Situ Yunbing and Pellegrini are swapped, and if Situ Yunbing leads Manchester City, do you think there will be a score like this now? Will Manchester City fall behind three goals at home?
Chapter completed!
