Chapter 323 The Premier League's Strongest Dialogue Begins

Entering January 2018, according to the regulations of the FA, teams from the Premier League and the English Championship will start to participate in the FA Cup from the third round.

Liverpool's opponent is Everton, also from the Premier League.

On January 1th, Klopp did not give up in this game, all the main players were out, and he scored a 6-2 score, directly eliminating the city rival Everton.

The FA Cup is over, and the Premier League No.20 three rounds will be unveiled. Among them, the second round of the match between Liverpool and Manchester City at home is the one that attracts the most attention from the media and fans. This will be a game that will determine whether Manchester City will lock the Premier League title in advance the match of.

Once Manchester City is allowed to expand the point difference to 8 points again, with the strength of Manchester City this season, the possibility of Liverpool catching up from behind is very slim.

On January 1th, Anfield was crowded with Liverpool as they faced Manchester City.

Premier League standings:
Manchester City 62 points

Liverpool 57 points

Chelsea 45 points

Manchester United 44 points

Leeds United 44 points

Arsenal 38 points

Tottenham Hotspur 38 points

Leicester City 31 points

……

"As far as the current standings are concerned, the ownership of the Premier League champion this season is still in suspense. Although Chelsea are ranked third, the difference between them and Manchester City is as high as 17 points. It is impossible to compete for the championship."

Zhang Lu squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, not necessarily. If Manchester City is willing to give up the Champions League and focus on the league, then there is a high probability that the Premier League title will be theirs. I am afraid that Guardiola wants it all, and in the end both ends will fail."

"Yes! In the second half of the Premier League, some middle and lower teams that are likely to be relegated will fight to the death with every opponent in order to seek a chance of relegation. I will fight with you, so whether it is Liverpool or Manchester City, they will be affected by multi-line battles." Zhan Jun said with a smile.

"So every championship competition is actually about the overall strength of the team. It depends on who has a thicker bench, stronger ability to withstand pressure, fewer injuries, and better luck!" Zhang Lu answered with a smile .

On the field, players from both sides have entered the field to warm up.

De Bruyne looked at Mo Yang on the other side of the court, his face was a little stern, thinking of the encouraging words Guardiola said to him yesterday.

But can he really control the rhythm in the game without being led away by Mo Yang?

De Bruy didn't have an answer in his heart. He felt that this was a hellish problem.

Liverpool warmed up halftime, and Mo Yang went to the sidelines to pick up the ball.

Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the ball coming, he stepped on the ball directly, hooked his index finger at Moyang, and wanted to single out.

Good guy, looking for abuse, right? I'll help you. Mo Yang grinned happily and rushed over immediately. This kind of opportunity to abuse the head coach doesn't come often.

Klopp protected the ball with his back, grinning and laughing constantly, but he was knocked over by Mo Yang's flower-arranging feet within ten seconds.

Klopp, who was fouled maliciously, got up and chased and killed the hilarious Mo Yang, making the Red Army fans laugh more and more.

Now the daily frolic between the master and apprentice has almost become one of the necessary rituals before the Anfield game, and it can always bring them joy.

Salah and others on the field also watched this happy scene with a smile. In Liverpool, only Mo Yang dared to play with Klopp like this. It would be courting death to change others. I don’t want to play in the game, right?
As time passed, the start of the game approached.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, the rebroadcast screen showed the lineups of both sides.

Home team Liverpool: (433)

Goalkeeper: Karius

Defenders: Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson

Midfielders: Fabinho, Henderson, Mo Yang
Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane
Away Manchester City: (433)

Forwards: Sane, Aguero, Sterling

Midfielders: Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne
Defenders: Delph, Otamendi, Stones, Walker

Goalkeeper: Ederson
"In this game, Klopp's Fabinho in the right central midfielder position. It seems that Uncle Zha has learned the lesson of the last match and let Fabinho, who is also both offensive and defensive, make up for the defensive ability in the right half. .”

"Yes, the last time the two teams met, Manchester City focused on the weak point in Liverpool's right half of the defense. Now that Klopp has made up for this weakness, it depends on whether Guardiola has any new moves." Zhan Jun laughed road.

When the words fell, Zhang Lu was happy again, and said: "I don't think it's easy, with Mo Yang here, as long as he can retreat to the back half in time, under his BUG-level vision scanning and command, all loopholes can be given to you. blocked."

At 4:55 p.m. local time in England, players from both sides appeared on the field led by referee Andre Marriner.

Before the start of the game, the two teams also held a moment of silence to commemorate the famous Liverpool star Lawrence who passed away in the middle of this week.

At five o'clock, with Marina's whistle, this strong dialogue, which has attracted much attention from the Premier League, officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, the competition between Liverpool and Manchester City in the midfield was fierce.

Whether it is Liverpool or Manchester City, they have made crazy presses in the midfield, hoping to gain the dominance of the game.

In the second minute of the game, Mo Yang completed a steal in the left half.

Walker held the ball from the side and wanted to seek cooperation in the middle, Mo Yang went straight up, arching Walker out of the sideline and snatching the ball at the same time.

Then it was a kick and a half high ball directly in front of Salah.

Mo Yang kept in mind Klopp's instructions before the game, and he must not slow down the pace of the game, as fast as he can, and use the rhythm to tear up the rhythm of Manchester City's game.

As long as the game continues at a faster pace, Manchester City will have some mistakes and unsmooth problems in transmission. In a word, Manchester City must not be allowed to be in a comfortable game rhythm.

For Manchester City, De Bruyne felt the fast pace of the game from the beginning.

He wanted to slow down, but facing Liverpool's high-intensity pressing like galloping across the court, he found that not only could he not control the ball, but even his teammates could not hold the ball.

As long as they dare to stick the ball a little bit, they will be scrambled immediately, and they can only play the ball hastily. In this way, their pass error rate will be greatly increased, and it will be difficult to control the ball to find the best offensive opportunity.

In the box stands at the scene, Gerrard, Dalglish, Robbie Fowler, the three famous Red Army players also came to watch the game.

Gerrard has retired in the summer, he has just finished dealing with his affairs in the United States, and he has just returned to Liverpool with his wife and children.

Looking at the familiar figure of Mo Yang on the field, Gerrard felt extremely relieved.

Although he left Liverpool, he found a perfect heir for the team before he left.

Although Gerrard has been in the United States for the past few years, he has been paying attention to Mo Yang.

He sees every progress of Mo Yang.

Last season, Liverpool won the first Premier League championship in team history. While Gerrard was happy, he even began to lament that he retired too early, otherwise he might not have the biggest regret in his career.

In the 4th minute of the game, Matip launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt.

Seeing Matip's tendency to pass the ball, Firmino, who had already settled on Manchester City's defense in the frontcourt, immediately retreated a few steps, and then the ball arrived.

But under Otamendi's forward push, he couldn't turn around at all, and he couldn't pass behind him. He saw that Mane was already running.

Just when he was hesitating, Mo Yang ran over in front of him, and he passed on without saying a word.

Seeing Firmino knocking back on Moyang, Fernandinho immediately rushed to Moyang.

As a result, Mo Yang didn't stop the ball at all, but directly kicked the ball over the top.

The ball flew between Otamendi and Walker, who was inward from the wing, and fell towards the top of the arc.

Mane volleyed directly before Walker caught up and kicked the ball into the stands.

"Wow!!!!"

The regrets of the fans at the scene set off like a huge wave in the stands around Anfield.
