Chapter 979 Against Manchester City ([-])

Degan was also dissatisfied with being whistled for a foul this time, but since he was far away from the penalty area, he just argued with Clattenburg for a few words, and Zhang Yuan's statement was more like saying to Clattenburg: "You can't Bully us!"

However, it was such a set kick, Manchester City scored, Silva's pass accurately found Yaya Toure, Toure suppressed Lovren, and reluctantly headed the goal. As a result, Manchester City scored a goal in this way. At present, they are only one goal behind Liverpool!
"Set kicks! Set kicks! The Red Army and Liverpool have suffered from set kicks many times this season. Silva's speed is a bit fast, and Mignolet's attack is too reckless!" Zhou Qiang explained angrily. A game with more goals will definitely make the commentator more eager, but Zhou Qiang can't be happy at all, who makes him a Liverpool fan!

Klopp spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, as if asking the players, "What are you doing?!"

What are you doing? !Needless to say? !It's just that the concentration is not concentrated again, and the free kick that is too far away is too lightly.

Sometimes being scored is not necessarily a bad thing. The Liverpool players finally realized that the opponent was not a cat or a dog, but the defending champion Manchester City after being scored this time. They are capable of deciding the game in an instant.

In the remaining few minutes of the first half, the two sides had a tacit understanding and did not speed up the offensive rhythm. Manchester City may have long wanted to slow down, while Liverpool clearly realized that the defending champion is still very strong. Don’t forget your own while attacking. defense.

But there is one person who is dissatisfied, and that person is Uncle Scum!
"What the hell are you guys doing?! I really want to know, why don't you put pressure on them in the final period! Worried about the team's defense, why should you worry?! Their defense is not that strong, there are many loopholes that can be exploited , they can score our goals, we can score more than them! I need players who have the will to fight, not shy players like you guys! You need to work hard for me on the pitch! Get it?!"

Klopp's reprimand was not polite at all, and everyone finally knew why Klopp was very emotional on the sidelines at the end of the first half.

There is nothing unexpected about Uncle Zha's midfield tactical arrangement. What he didn't say is that he continued to keep me aggressive and completely defeated Manchester City. Hmph, they thought I would be cautious, they underestimated me!

The goal in the final stage of the first half was a life-saving straw for Manchester City. The ratio between the two sides became 2:1, and there were 45 minutes left in the game. Manchester City still had a chance to win the final victory. I feel fortunate to have scored a goal. This time point is very good, and the players can enter the locker room with a slightly relaxed attitude.

Of course, it is impossible to say that it is really easy. The Manchester City players are not fools. They all know that they were beaten by Liverpool in the first half.

After the start of the second half, the head coaches on both sides did not change. They were still the players on the field. Manchester City was still trying the same, trying to control the ball at their feet, trying to let the rhythm of the game follow them, but At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool showed the same tactics as the beginning of the first half. To be precise, it was to prevent Manchester City from taking the ball comfortably.

"How long will Liverpool's impact last?! This is a severe test of physical fitness!" Zhou Qiang also expressed his own doubts.

Boss Qian in the stands didn’t think so. He was very happy to see the offensive football that Klopp insisted on. persevere until the end.

Because of Zhang Yuan's more comprehensive characteristics, Liverpool's position in these few games is relatively flexible. Originally, they did not rely on headers to eat. Sometimes Sterling would switch positions with Zhang Yuan, and Coutinho would also, Even the forward Lallana in midfield will.

In the second half, Zhang Yuan further strengthened the switch between the two wings. He wanted to score goals and kill the game with goals. However, the state of Manchester City began to improve in the second half. The players' emotions were much more stable. Liverpool's High pressing tactics were not as effective as in the first half.

But even so, Zhang Yuan still wants to score, and only one more can extinguish Manchester City's desire to counterattack!
In the 52nd minute, Zhang Yuan and Sterling switched positions. After the two sides made two two-on-one cooperation on the right, Zhang Yuan used his speed to beat Kolarov. Kolarov's speed was not slow, but in Sri Lanka Under the restraint of Tring, he was in a trance, but Zhang Yuan easily broke through him, took a big step, and did not wait for Mangala to surround him!
Zhang Yuan was more than 30 meters away from the goal on the right, and suddenly took a long shot!
When the ball was shot, Zhang Yuan's first hunch was that there was something to be done with the ball!
He has good foot control and hits the ideal deciduous ball!
The ball also had an outside instep rotation. Joe Hart did not expect that Zhang Yuan would take a long shot from this position. The ball was very fast. He quickly flew to save the ball, but the ball was too sudden. It was so high that the ball went over his body and directly into the net!

This was a wide open goal, Zhang Yuan waved his arm fiercely and let out a roar!

This is Anfield Stadium, Liverpool will never let the tragic story repeat itself!
"World Wave!"

"Wonderful goal!"

… The live broadcast commentators in the Liverpool Main Stand are using different words to describe such a ball.

The ball didn't have any fancy moves, it was just a forced shot after a forced attack. There was no reason at all. When Zhang Yuan shot that kick, many commentators knew that the ball was likely to be scored, and it really didn't happen.

Uncle Zha slammed a heavy punch, that's right, if you don't cooperate, you will be strong, in short, you must put pressure on your opponent, and you can't back down in the slightest. Now is not the time to back down!
Pellegrini fell into despair, and the unstoppable Zhang Yuan scored again.

He is nothing short of a monster!Pellegrini thought so in his heart!
Conceding the ball again so soon was a big blow to City, who seemed to lose their spirits after the re-kick-off, with Pellegrini standing on the sidelines until the 60th minute, He made up his mind to make substitution adjustments and replaced Dzeko with Milner. Dzeko's performance in this game was mediocre. Adding Milner actually added a midfielder. It seems that Pellegrini Still determined to control the ball first.

This substitution played a big role. Due to the increase in the number of midfielders in Manchester City, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho have more energy in defense. Liverpool's offensive began to slow down, while Manchester City It was only at this time that there was a fundamental improvement in ball control.

However, it is not easy for them to enter Liverpool's penalty area more often. Liverpool has the advantage of Gerrard's failure to play. The running ability of several midfielders is outstanding, and they return to the defense quite quickly. Manchester City can easily play the counterattack as a As a result, Dzeko's performance was not good. Manchester City's thigh Aguero also did not perform well in this game. Aguero's strong running ability is superb. , He is relatively short, but he can gain a foothold in the Premier League, relying on this ability, he can also dribble the ball by himself, but more is to use his excellent running awareness and ability to grab points and shoot.

Manchester City's positional attack can't make a good pass. No matter how strong Aguero's ability is, Silva is the best passer and organizer in Manchester City. However, today, hehe, he is the most out of state One, even though Yaya Toure scored a goal, it can also be said that his condition is not good. As a result, Manchester City's offense has improved, but the threat to Liverpool is not great.

As time passed, Klopp was not stupid, and began to ask the players to deal with Manchester City as much as possible. Liverpool no longer took the ball eagerly to attack, but began to work hard to control the ball at their feet. Finally, I was very afraid of the off-ball interludes on the field, and I was determined not to engage in high-position pressing. As a result, the two teams came and went, and the stalemate came to the midfield.
