Football: From Bundesliga debut

At the end of this game, Manchester City won Bayern 3-2, but they failed to get the first place in the group. This is bad news for Manchester City.

The next step is to wait for the Champions League group draw.

For Manchester City, this draw has little meaning, because apart from Paris in Ligue [-], none of them are fuel-efficient lights, so there is nothing to look forward to. All you can do is to maintain your own state.

According to the plan of the competition schedule, it will start on February 2th, and there is still about a month to go, enough!

But the most important thing right now is the league. The current league is still in the first echelon. There are four teams: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. , thus leaving the championship camp.

After the 17th round of the league, the points of the top four in the Premier League are as follows:
1. Arsenal: 36 points

2. Liverpool: 36 points

3. Manchester City: 35 points

4. Chelsea: 34 points

5. Everton: 34 points

The 18th round of the league is Manchester City vs. Liverpool. In this competition between the championship teams, the difference between the victory and the loss is 6 points.

This is also the most eye-catching game. Among other Premier League games, no one can have such a decisive effect.

In the last game of the 18th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will challenge the Red Army Liverpool at home.

This game is very important for both sides. After all, the current points of the two sides are almost the same. After this pull, the initiative will be lost in the follow-up.

Since the 12th round of the league, Manchester City has achieved 4 wins and 1 tie, and scored 13 points, which is one of the reasons why he can remain in the forefront.

At the same time, in these few games, Pellegrini let Zheng Lin continue to serve as the front midfielder, and at the same time let him participate in the defense according to the situation on the field.

This is extremely demanding on Zheng Lin's physical fitness. After all, it is not enough to rely on Fernandinho to support the defense line. He must be helped. If Kompany in the backcourt can play, then this will relieve Zheng Lin. pressure.

But fortunately, Kompany can play in this game, which is good news for Manchester City.

Regarding this game, many football commentators have made predictions:

Liverpool [Goalkeeper: Mignolet
Defender: Ali Sissoko, Sakho, Skrtel, Glenn Johnson

Midfielders: Lucas, Joe Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling
Forward: Suarez]

And Manchester City is sure that Kompany can play, so Manchester City's defense will have more advantages;
[Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defense: Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Konarov

Midfielders: Javi Garcia, Fernandinho, Zheng Lin, David Silva, Keylor Navas
Forward: Dzeko/Negredo]

In their eyes, if the defense line plays in Kompany, then Manchester City's defense line will be guaranteed.

The midfielders of the two teams should be almost the same. They mainly look at the creativity of the players. For Manchester City, they must be careful about the impact of Liverpool.

Sterling, the "little motor", might cause some trouble to Manchester City.

However, they have a consistent view that if Liverpool cannot limit the connection between Zheng Lin and David Silva, then they will most likely lose the game!

At the same time, they think that if there are no accidents, Manchester City should concentrate on attacking the league!

After all, their opponent is Barcelona, ​​which has the most luxurious attack line in Europe. For Manchester City's relatively weak defense line, this is a difficult start of hell.

Obviously this also indicates that the Champions League has gone far, but Manchester City obviously will not easily let Barcelona take away the victory.

At this time, they are looking forward to winning Liverpool while Arsenal makes a mistake, then they will get the top position.

For this top spot, they have been looking forward to it for a long time!
On the 27th after Christmas, the anticipated game came.

Before the game, they had already learned that Arsenal had firmly won West Ham United, which made them temporarily have no chance to win the top spot.

"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, good morning everyone, welcome to the focus of the 18th round of the Premier League - Manchester City vs. Liverpool at home."

The personnel on the field were not much different from what previous English football commentators had predicted.

It's just that Manchester City chose Negredo in the starting lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool chose to attack first, which was obviously prepared.

After the kick-off, Suarez moved forward to open up space for the midfielder. As an all-round excellent striker, his strength should not be underestimated. In fact, the most surprising thing is his spirituality and what his sudden whim can bring. What a surprise.

This is also what Pellegrini has warned, so that Xavi Garcia and Fernandinho will pay attention to this guy.

Behind him is Sterling, who has a strong impact. The speed of this little man is a major feature of him. For the current Manchester City defense, marking this guy one-on-one will cause problems in the overall defense. Problem, so Pellegrini used zone defense in this trip.

Although it was said to be arranged, but after receiving a pass from Henderson, Sterling accelerated and rushed, and David Silva failed to impose any restrictions on him.

At this time, he was facing Fernandinho and Konarov directly.

At this time, Sterling saw the other two Suarez and Coutinho who were also in the frontcourt. From the position of the two, Suarez was better, but he was surrounded by Kompany and Coutinho. Neo is in the position behind Kompany.

At this moment, Sterling's happy football concept emerged in his brain. He made a clever breakthrough to Konarov. At this time, there was only a central defender and goalkeeper in front of him!

Fernandinho was about to rush to defend, but Sterling shot straight to the far foot. This shot was a bit surprising, and it felt more like a pass.

But then a very clever thing happened.

The football hit Lescott's body and performed a refraction, which changed the direction of the ball.

"The direction of the ball was blocked by Lescott and flew straight up. This is still a restricted area, this"

"Suarez didn't catch it in the top fight, but the football fell on his shoulder and fell towards the back of the penalty area."

"In the chaos, the goal has already entered the net!"

"This is obviously interesting! Let's watch the replay!"

"It turned out that after the ball flew out from Suarez, Zabaleta failed to drive very far, and the ball hit Xavi Garcia's thigh and refracted, which was picked up by Coutinho behind! "

"This ball really makes people feel helpless!"

Less than 15 minutes into this round of the league, there was a dramatic scene. Liverpool scored the first goal and they were leading Manchester City 1-0 at this time.
