Liverpool only won a small goal in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final, but its strong state continues. There is only one question about Liverpool: When will they stop?

Back in the league on the weekend, Liverpool challenged Southampton as a guest, who is now ranked 6th in the Premier League and has performed very well this season.

Even one of the strong contenders for the Champions League seat.

Liverpool's league continued the start of the past few league games, while Southampton played very conservatively at home. It is hard to say how much trouble Liverpool has caused, but Liverpool's forward state began to fall, Lewandowski missed two chances of scoring, and Gareth Bale failed to show a strong threat. Even though Mbappe worked hard, he was unable to beat alone.

In the end, Liverpool scored 26 shots away but failed to score a goal, and tied with Southampton 0:0.

In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing said that the Champions League match in the mid-week Ukraine will have a great impact on the team's condition, but they will adjust quickly.

Meanwhile, Chelsea drew 1-1 at home with Burnley missing the opportunity to close the points gap with Liverpool.

There was no war in the middle of the week, and Liverpool had plenty of room for adjustment.

In the upcoming 27th round of the league, Liverpool will face Manchester City at home Anfield.

At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing began to put pressure on Manchester City.

"Manchester City performed pretty well last season, but this season has not been good.

More than a month ago, we can also say that Manchester City qualified in the Champions League group stage. They performed a little better than before in the European arena, but they lacked luck. After losing to Barcelona at home in the first leg of the knockout stage, I think this hit their morale very hard.

The two straight losses in mid-to-late January have already eliminated Manchester City from the championship.

If there are still media that thinks that Manchester City has a hope of winning the league this season, it must be ignorant and stupid, trying to mislead their fans and readers and give Manchester City fans the most unrealistic fantasy.

In my opinion, Manchester City is very similar to Liverpool in the past. It is strong, able to play some good games and firmly lock in the top four positions in the Premier League.

But they missed the championship!

Tomorrow's game is a chance for Manchester City to prove themselves. Similarly, I would expect Liverpool to use good performance to prove that my words are correct at all!"

Pellegrini also talked about the championship situation before the game, and his tone was a little heavy.

"We not only have Liverpool, but also Chelsea, with only 12 rounds left in the league. We still expect our two competitors to make mistakes based on our own efforts to achieve perfection. This is indeed difficult!

But everything has hope.

If we give up, there will be no hope.

There is no doubt about Liverpool's strength, but it is also a ridiculous view to say that Manchester City has no power to fight back in front of them.

We will try to beat Liverpool at Anfield Stadium, and if we do, I think there will be some subtle changes in the championship pattern!”

The happiest thing is of course Chelsea. They just need to play their own games and then be able to watch the tiger fight!

There may be many teams and fans in the Premier League cheering for Manchester City, hoping that Manchester City can delay Liverpool's progress at Anfield.

At least don’t let the suspense of the championship disappear before May arrives!

On the last day of February, Anfield Stadium ushered in the highlight of this round of league, with Liverpool playing against Manchester City at home!

On a sunny afternoon, Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and quietly waited for the start of the game.

After walking into the stadium, Pellegrini stopped to watch Situ Yunbing for several seconds before walking to the visiting team coach's seat and sat down.

When he came to England to coach, what impressed Pellegrini the most was what Situ Yunbing once said to him.

Manchester City seems to have not really become a roadblock on Liverpool’s road ahead!

It has been almost two years, and Pellegrini feels powerless!

Not only is he at an absolute disadvantage in direct dialogue, but even the team's overall performance of multi-line battles throughout the season, Manchester City is definitely weaker than Liverpool.

As the head coach, it is actually difficult to repeatedly emphasize the strength and weakness of the lineup and the opponent. It seems to be shirking responsibility and being a coward.

But this further highlights the gap between coaching levels.

Pellegrini sighed secretly, then threw away the distracting thoughts and focused on facing this powerful dialogue in the Premier League!

Situ Yunbing has no thoughts about Manchester City.

In his opinion, Manchester City is just like this in Pellegrini's hands, and it's more than the top.

From the Mancini era to today, Manchester City's nearly five years of cycle has allowed people to see that the team's shape is basically stable, but it does not have shocking power.

Can make achievements in the Premier League, but cannot dominate!

The hardware conditions are no longer bad, at least not much different.

If you want to make a big breakthrough and development, you must change your team's form. There is no doubt that the coaching team does this job.

The starters of the two teams walked into Anfield Stadium with great energy, and each player looked virtuous and prepared to do a big fight.

The Anfield Stadium was hustle and bustle, and the Reds and Blue Moon fans created a good battlefield atmosphere for the players of the two teams!

"Good afternoon, everyone, in the 27th round of the English Premier League, the defending champion Liverpool will play against Manchester City at home at the Anfield Stadium!

Before the start of this game, Liverpool ranked first, leading Chelsea in second place by 3 points and Manchester City in third place by 9 points!

It can be said that the result of this game will directly determine whether Manchester City still has a chance to compete for the league championship this season!

Manchester City must at least be unbeaten to maintain the qualification to compete for the championship. Otherwise, if they are behind, they will give Liverpool 12 points, so Manchester City will definitely not have a chance to reverse with 11 rounds left in the league!

Liverpool's recent state is obvious to everyone, and it is definitely the strongest team among the top five leagues in the Premier League and even Europe.

Manchester City was ups and downs. They once only lagged behind and gave Liverpool 2 points, but failed to seize the opportunity to bite Liverpool tightly. Now they are 9 points behind.

Before this game, most media were optimistic that Liverpool could beat Manchester City at home to score 3 points.

I think this is also Situ Yunbing's style. He will definitely kill Manchester City's hope for the championship at home.

OK, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Liverpool started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Kulibaly, Robertson.

Midfielder: Casemiro, Coutinho, Kante.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.

Liverpool came back from injury today to strengthen the defense in the midfield and backcourt.

Manchester City started 442 today.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Sabaretta, Kompani, Mangara, Klarov.

Midfielders: Sterling, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Silva.

Forward: Dzeko, Aguero.

Basically, there is nothing unexpected about the starting lineup of the two teams, but Manchester City did not adopt a 433 but a 442 formation, which was unexpected.

The pre-match kickoff ceremony has been completed. Let's see what kind of sparks the two teams will create in this match. Whether Manchester City can continue to retain hope for the championship after this game!"

Anfield cheered on the spot and shocked all directions. Almost in the hustle and bustle, Liverpool took the lead in kicking off.

Coutinho passed the ball diagonally to full-back Robertson from the back of the center circle, and then Liverpool's formation began to push up. Manchester City stepped forward to counterattack and harassment, and the overall formation retreated and pressed behind at a glance.

This is the rhythm of playing against Liverpool.

Situ Yunbing was not surprised. Pellegrini still had self-knowledge. If Manchester City did not clamp down on their tails when they came away, they would be a bit arrogant and stupid.

Liverpool did not blindly speed up the offensive rhythm. When Gareth Bale controlled the ball on the left of the frontcourt, Sabaleta, Yaya Toure, and Sterling launched three-way attacks on him. In this way, Gareth Bale fell into a desperate situation. In desperation, he pulled the ball to the side and suddenly turned around and knocked the ball back. Robertson followed up and quickly passed the ball diagonally in the middle.

Coutinho dribbled the ball in front of Fernandinho and flew across the side. Fernandinho did not dare to rush to rob the ball from the front of the penalty area, which allowed Coutinho to easily find space to pass the ball diagonally to Mbappe's feet.

Mbappe made a move forward and made Klarov retreat, but he dribbled the ball with his feet and cut across to the right in front of the penalty area and suddenly lifted the ball to the far end of the penalty area.

When the Manchester City players looked back, what caught his eye was Gareth Bale running wildly until he headed the ball directly!

Joe Hart blocked the goal and played steadily in his close corner, holding the ball in his arms smoothly.

"Liverpool's offense after the opening game turned into a shot. Although Gareth Bale's header did not test Joe Hart, Liverpool's offensive fluency and transfer rate were still impressive. Manchester City needs to be wary of Liverpool's sudden offensive transfer!

It is very likely that Liverpool will be able to complete the offensive transfer and create a threatening shot within a few seconds!"

Manchester City's first wave of offensives was not ideal.

When Sterling seemed very restrained on the right, Manchester City's offensive advance seemed to be timid in the shooting, fearing that once the ball was lost, he would turn around and unable to return to defense in time. If Liverpool hit a fast attack, the defense line would be in danger.

When the midfield attacked patiently, Liverpool's formation retreated had already laid a tight defense line. Silva finally passed the ball directly on the left to find Aguero in the middle of the frontcourt. The latter was very close to Dzeko, but because of insufficient use of the wing, they both fell into the Liverpool encirclement.

Behind Aguero was under defensive pressure from Van Dijk. When he went out to find Dzeko, the ball was cut off by Casemiro.

Liverpool just intercepted the ball, and Manchester City's midfielder immediately retreated, with tight defenses arranged, which was obvious with a intensive defensive posture!

Maybe I was really scared by Liverpool!
Chapter completed!
