Chapter 816 Another Massacre
"Antoine Griezmann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"One to zero!!!!"

"Griezmann's goal!!! Beautiful!!!"

"Beautiful offense!! Manchester City played an amazing offensive coordination!!! Liverpool's defense was messed up by them!!!"

"A very beautiful offensive coordination!!! Kompany made a long pass, the Manchester City midfielder controlled the second point, Fernandinho snatched the ball, and then quickly transferred it with a long pass!! Immediately after Kolarov dribbled the ball to attract attention, another long pass was transferred laterally!!!"

"Beautiful offensive coordination!! Wide opening and closing, completely different from Manchester City's previous offensive method, but the effect looks very good!!!"

At the Etihad Stadium! !

Countless fans raised countless arms!
They stood up and roared! !
Amidst the huge cheers, Griezmann ran wildly! !
Manchester City players are celebrating this goal! ! !

One to zero! !
One to zero lead! ! !

League No. 19 victories! !

They're set! ! ! !

Next to the coach's bench, Gao Bo and his assistants clapped hands in celebration!

For a head coach, the team has achieved the offensive effect in training, which is something to be happy about!
Even the series of passes just before made Gao Bo happier than this goal!
This shows that new weapons have been added to the team's tactical system!

It is even more difficult for other teams to thoroughly study Manchester City! !
Liverpool coach Benitez was indeed surprised by Manchester City's attack this time.

Manchester City did not cooperate with short passes in a row like they did before, and then opened the gap in the defense and scored.

Instead, use two long passes, and then Hazard's personal ability!

This caught Liverpool off guard! !

Liverpool's previous defensive strategy was completely aimed at Manchester City's previous offensive tactics!
The dense formation shrinks the penalty area and does not give the opponent too much space for short passes.

As a result, Manchester City did not use short passes, but long passes to continuously mobilize Liverpool's defense!

Under the rapid transfer, Liverpool's defense was mobilized a bit chaotic!

Then Hazard went straight into the penalty area and assisted Griezmann to score!

This made Benitez look at Gao Bo even more with admiration.

He had spoken highly of Gao Bo before.

But in this game, he vaguely saw the changes in Manchester City.

Benitez, known as a master tactician, also had some admiration for Gao Bo at this time.

Make changes when you are most successful.This is not something that ordinary people can do.

But Gao Bo did it!
This young man is always vigilant and hungry!

Benitez quickly suppressed the admiration in his heart.

After all, now is not the time to admire your opponent!

When the game restarted, Benitez stood on the sidelines, waving his arms constantly, signaling that the Liverpool players should press up and must put pressure on Manchester City.
Coutinho, Suarez, Sterry!

Coupled with Gerrard who tops the front midfielder.

Such an offensive combination is actually very strong in terms of personal ability!

Benitez believes that if these people are connected in series, it will be enough to make Manchester City's defense feel pressured.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is cruel.

After leading by one goal, Manchester City at home did not intend to shrink their formation and go back to fight back.

This is not their style!

After scoring the goal, the morale-shocked Manchester City played even more aggressively!

They continued to put strong pressure on Liverpool's goal! !

Manchester City's attack wave after wave! !

Griezmann made a through attempt and was directly cleared by Skrtel.

In the backcourt, Umtiti controlled the ball! !

The football was passed to the right.

David Silva and Trippier are on this side, as well as Griezmann and Hazard who are often active on this side. The continuous pass coordination and movement, and Manchester City's goals are also produced on this side. This puts Liverpool's left defense under great pressure.

Griezmann took a return pass from Eden Hazard, took a step forward, and then flicked to Trippier.

Trippier did not go forward by himself, but passed a cross to Casemiro, who turned around and passed directly to the left! !
To the feet of Sanchez! !
Sanchez dribbled the ball forward and broke through, menacing! !
Manchester City's offensive focus shifted to Sanchez with two passes! !
The sharp breakthrough of the Chilean star caught Liverpool by surprise! !

Glenn Johnson hurried forward to intercept!

However, the England defender looked a little clumsy in the face of Sanchez, who was not tall and more flexible.

Sanchez flicked the ball directly on the outside of his right foot, and then roared past Glenn Johnson to rush into the penalty area! !
Seeing that Sanchez is about to dribble into the penalty area!
Sacco rushed out from the front and knocked Sanchez over! !
"Oh oh oh oh!! Foul!!!"

"Sakho's foul!!!"

"The referee showed Sakho a yellow card! Manchester City got a free kick in a good position!!!"

Sky Sports commentator Letkinson said.

"This foul is very timely! Because if Sacco doesn't stop Sanchez, Sanchez will directly drive the ball into it. By then, it will be too late for you to foul."

"This yellow card will greatly affect Liverpool's central defender Sakho in the following games!!"

"Sanchez is in very good condition!! He is on the Manchester City bench, but Kaka is still sitting!! For coach Gao Bo, whether to use Sanchez or Kaka, I am afraid that it will be a happy trouble in the near future. Fortunately, all fronts of Manchester City are now going hand in hand. They don't have to worry about players not having the chance to play for the time being!"

Sacco, who was shown a yellow card, did not protest.

He knew that at that spot, he had to stop Sanchez, and he couldn't just let him enter the penalty area! !

And Gerrard, who came back to defend, was very annoyed.

He yelled straight at Glenn Johnson: "What are you doing!! Brace yourself!!!"

Glenn Johnson can be said to have cheated Sacco of a yellow card!

The main central defender received a yellow card early on, and the impact on the next game can be imagined! !
Glenn Johnson nodded silently, he did not refute or defend himself.

On the one hand, he dared not talk back to Captain Gerrard.

On the other hand, he also knew that he couldn't keep up with Sanchez's rhythm and speed just now!

Gerrard muttered something, then shouted loudly, encouraging his teammates to go.

Manchester City's free kick!

Sanchez, Griezmann, Hazard, David Silva all stood in front of the ball.

This is a position on the left side of the arc top of the restricted area.

Logically speaking, this is more suitable for right-footed players to take the penalty.

Sure enough, after the four discussed for a while, only Hazard and Sanchez were left with two right-footed players standing in front of the ball.

Griezmann and David Silva entered the penalty area.

Sanchez set the ball up and looked like he was about to kick himself! !
Seeing Manchester City's two strikers standing in front of the ball, Liverpool's goalkeeper Mignolet is on the verge of a formidable enemy!
Whether it is Sanchez or Hazard, the shooting skills are very superb.

The two retreated separately!

Hazard runs first! !
He ran over the football after reaching the ball!

This is a fake run! !

At this time, Sanchez also started to run! !
step!
Two steps! !
Talk on the right foot! ! !
A volley! ! ! !

The human wall jumped up! ! !

But Gerrard, who was in the wall of people, suddenly turned pale with fright! !

Sanchez didn't hit the top of the head this time, but went down three ways! !
The football sticks to the turf! !
Gerrard is already on the rise!
He stared at the football coming over the turf, as if he wanted to use his mind to prevent the goal! !

Then, he immediately thought of reminding Mignolet!
Gerald's mind is spinning fast!

For a moment, he thought a lot.

However, the action will be much slower!
Therefore, in the real action, Gerald only had time to turn his head, without even opening his mouth!

He saw the football rushing to the near corner! !
Oops
Gerrard's heart skipped a beat!
Generally speaking.

The free-kick wall will defend the near corner.

After all, if you want to play in the suburbs, it is not easy to bypass the human wall in a shorter distance, and the goalkeeper will defend the far corner.

However, when the football passed under Gerrard's feet, Mignolet at the far end noticed the ball! !

When Mignolet was just about to react, the football had already rushed into the goal!
"Ahhhhh!!!"

"The ball went in!! The ball went in!!!"

The voice of the narrator Letkinson came on the TV!

"A very cunning free kick by Sanchez! The football went into the goal from under the jumping wall!! Goalkeeper Mignolet couldn't react at all!! Two to zero!!! Manchester City leads two to zero!!"

"This ball Sanchez kicked a coincidence!! He hit Liverpool by surprise!!!"

Redknapp, Letkinson's commentary partner, said.

"Looking at it now, No. 19 league victories, [-] consecutive league victories!!! For Manchester City, it is already close at hand, with a two-goal lead, the possibility of Liverpool wanting to comeback is too difficult, too difficult!"

The visiting coach's bench here! !

Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez looked rather grim.

Two goals behind!
Now Liverpool has fallen into a completely passive situation!
Moreover, he really can't blame any player for the second goal!
In fact, it is not too easy to get the ball into the goal from under the wall.

The first is to keep the ball on the ground.

In the case of a volley, it is not too difficult for most players to control the ball without flying at all.

However, the players take off and fall!
What's inside is that the time is not long. If you want the football to jump just enough to let the ball pass through the wall, it is difficult to grasp the timing.

"damn it!!"

Benitez cursed angrily! !

However, Liverpool, like most teams, once in such a situation, there is not much to do with Manchester City.

A team like Manchester City will not be overturned with a two-goal lead! !
However, the game time is still long, and of course it is impossible for Liverpool to give up directly.

Although the probability is very low, Benitez has to work hard.

He called Captain Gerrard over.

Gerald's face is ugly now.

He also thought that although Sacco received a yellow card, the foul was worth it.

But now when the ball is sent into the goal, Gerrard has put his previous thoughts behind him.

The central defender received a yellow card, and the opponent scored a goal!

This is the worst possible situation! !
"We need to attack!! Need a goal!!"

Benitez quickly whispered in Gerrard's ear.

It is still two goals behind. If Liverpool can score, they will close the points behind to within one goal.

In this way, although they are still behind, at least it won't be too ugly, and maybe Liverpool still has a chance to equalize!

Benitez no longer thinks about winning. What they need to do now is to score first.

Liverpool must first prove that they have the ability to score goals in Manchester City's defense! !

"Shoot more!! Remember, shoot when you have space!! Steven!! We need your long shots now!!"

Tactician Benitez has no other tricks, he now pins his hopes on the players' personal abilities!
Gerrard's heavy bombardment is still very threatening. Even if he can't score directly, it is likely to cause the goalkeeper to let go.

In this way, Suarez, who is extremely cunning in the penalty area, has a chance!

The playing field is restored!
Sure enough, Gerrard took a long shot after he came on the field!
Nearly 27 meters away from the goal!
A powerful long-range shot flew towards Manchester City's goal.

Oblak didn't dare to neglect, he threw the ball out of the baseline with both fists!
Liverpool's corner! ! !

This shot on target rekindled the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players, and now they get a corner kick, which is an opportunity for Liverpool that cannot be wasted.

Corner kicks in the frontcourt, as long as the tactics are properly arranged, the goal threat is still easy to hit.

Using corner kicks to threaten the strong team's goal is a time-tested trick for many weak teams.

The same is true for Liverpool. They have focused on rehearsing the offensive routine of set kicks before the game.

Two central defenders pressed up!
When Coutinho kicked the corner up.

Oblak strikes quickly!
One punch kicked the ball out of the penalty area! !
At this moment! !

Hazard dribbles the ball after stopping the ball in the chest outside the penalty area!
"Hazard catches the ball!! Very fast!!!"

In the commentary booth, the commentator Letkinson suddenly shouted! ! !

There was also a burst of cheers at the scene! !

Hazard dribbles the ball forward!
In front of him, there are only two full-backs left!
He rushed along the sidewalk quickly!
The pursuers behind him were thrown away by him!

Fast! ! !

When the defensive player came up to try to intercept, Hazard sent the ball to the middle!
Griezmann follow up! !
He didn't stop the ball!
Instead, he directly kicked the ball! ! !

The football passed between the two defensive players, like a sharp scalpel, cutting Liverpool's defense line precisely! ! !

A simple two over one! !
Ahead!

Hazard has received a pass from Griezmann! ! !
"Azar!!! One-handed!!!!!!!"

The narrator roared!

At this time, the cheers from the stands stopped temporarily, and everyone was ready to watch the most tense moment! !

Hazard faces Mignolet single-handedly! ! !

Mignolet rushed out!

And Hazard took a look at the goalkeeper's position!

lob!

The football flew over Mignolet's head.
Flew into the goal!
