Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 286
Both Klopp and Guardiola are representatives of the new generation of football coaches. They are both foreign coaches. The two did not engage in lip-smacking bickering before the game.

However, once the battle of Tianwangshan is over, the classic scene of "the winner feels sorry for the loser and the loser refuses to accept" will still appear...

Liverpool coach Klopp accepted an interview after the team's 5-3 victory over Manchester City. Klopp said that this game will be remembered by history. In the next 10 or even 20 years, this game will be remembered It will be remembered for a long time as a classic battle.

"I think this game shows why people love football so much, that's the beauty of football. Football can be as good as it is if both teams give at a very high level. I think we deserved it. Three points, but Manchester City also deserves their own applause. They even had a chance to equalize the score at the last moment. I never thought that we would end the game with a score of 4-1, because even if we lead by three goals, It's still possible for City to come back."

Uncle Zha said that he had long been mentally prepared for Manchester City's Jedi counterattack.

"We're not speculating, but we did have a chance to score a fifth goal given our quality on the counter-attack. But even if you have all your players in the box, City can still create chances. Maybe at the end of the season, Even 10 or 20 years later, you will bring up this classic battle today, because Manchester City could have completed the unbeaten feat this season."

Are the last moments stressful?

"I'm sure I'm not going to be very happy about it, but I'm not anxious to be honest. At the time, I was thinking that if the game ended up being 4-4, everyone would say we almost did it. Manchester City and stuff like that, but that's not the most important thing. The level of pressing we have today is like it's from another planet, and they have a lot of times because of the high level of pressing and they make mistakes in the rush."

Does Pickford need to take the blame for the first goal?

"Yeah, he was standing in the close corner, you guys showed me the replay, people always find their hair in the soup to pick a thorn, Pickford knows that. However, the Manchester City goalkeeper's mistake may That led to Salah scoring goals, but no one talks about that."

This game is "Zhang Mai joins hands with the Trident era" Liverpool's statement

"After Salah joined Liverpool this season, we made a statement by scoring four goals in a game, which is very symbolic. We know that we are capable of doing it all, but we need to show in moments like this. Come out. Of course, we also conceded three goals, which is not cool, but I don't really bother with it. If you play the football we played today, the results follow. So , the result tonight was perfect.

……

As a loser, Manchester City will naturally dig deep into the details of the game. Guardiola said: You can ask the VAR referee about this question and we will show the style of a champion.

In the battle of Tianwangshan in the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 5-3. Manchester City fell behind Liverpool by 3 points. The championship situation suddenly became bad, but Guardiola was not convinced.

Guardiola was very dissatisfied with the referee's controversial judgment. At the post-match press conference, he asked the reporter to ask VAR about the controversial judgment of the game, with a little anger in his tone. Still quite satisfied.

There were two controversial points in this game, mainly the two fouls committed by Liverpool players, neither of which was awarded a penalty kick. The first time it appeared in the 7th minute, Sterling stopped the ball 10 yards in front of the goal and was blocked by the defender. overthrow.

The second time appeared in 87 minutes. Aguero fell to the ground in the penalty area but the referee also ignored it. If a penalty kick was scored and Manchester City caught up to 3-4, it is hard to say whether Manchester City can tie with the momentum in the final stage. , but when the handball was not awarded this time, Guardiola was very excited and stretched out two fingers to indicate twice, twice.

Guardiola's tone of answering questions from all parties after the game was resentful and proud:
"What happened today showed that we can be champions and at this stage we have been unbelievable and I am more proud of my team than ever"

"We had an unbelievable game against the best teams in Europe at this stage and I'm really proud of what we did. We played well."

"It's four months away and if Liverpool win I'll be the first to congratulate them because we can't deny how good they are, but the way they play, they create chances and keep playing with that personality."

"I don't know what the end result will be. I'm not a magician, I don't know the future.

"Now it's the international break, hopefully they'll all come back healthy, the injured ones will recover, then Chelsea are at home and we'll try to beat them.

"We have a team in front of us right now that has a better chance of being champions than us, so we're going to try. In football, you don't always win."

"It's great to be at Anfield and I'm proud to see my team play in this stadium against this team and play the way they do."

"I know a lot of teams come here to get the respect of Anfield, we have problems with the squad and the way we play, but it was fantastic and one of our best performances."

"(The issue of foul controversy) Please ask the reporters to ask the referee, please don't ask me. Ask this question to Riley (the chairman of the referee company) and the people who do VAR, but don't ask me."

"I couldn't have shaken the referee's hand, I greeted them. I was polite, nothing was said here."

In the words of Lineker on the BBC program: "Unless he wins the season, Guardiola has never said so much!"

……

The British media had the same opinion on the result of Tianwangshan, "There is no major problem with the referee's law enforcement, and Manchester City's loss is not wronged at all!"

Even the local media in Manchester City analyzed the reasons for their team's loss:

"Manchester Evening News": "Gua Shuai also has difficult problems! 1 Premier League ace becomes Manchester City's dilemma."

Before this game, not many people would have thought that Manchester City would lose in a goal shootout, but this kind of thing did happen.

Throughout the game, Manchester City's proud offensive line struggled, and Aguero's problems were the most prominent.

Jesus suffered a knee injury, and Guashuai could only choose Aguero as Manchester City's Zhengyin center.But Aguero did not integrate into the team's offensive system as Guashuai hoped.

Throughout the first half, Aguero didn't even take a shot, so naturally he couldn't threaten the opponent Liverpool's goal.

In the second half, Aguero's performance still did not improve much. Except for one shot at the beginning of the second half and one shot in stoppage time (one was blocked and one was missed), Aguero never had a chance to directly threaten. Liverpool goal.

In addition to being less threatening in terms of personal offense, Aguero also seemed out of tune with the team's overall tactics.

In Manchester City's tactical system, Guashuai pays special attention to and emphasizes the one-kick kick in the frontcourt. Except for Sane who can get some personal dribbling opportunities in the frontcourt, others are as strong as De Bruyne and David Schiller. Players such as Watts, Sterling, and Jesus also have to tear the opponent's defense through one kick and one pass.

However, Aguero is a little sticky to the ball, and his dribbling characteristics make him unable to integrate into the rhythm of the team. On the contrary, his procrastinating style of handling the ball also makes Manchester City's offense often stagnate.

In the end, while Manchester City gained a lot of possession, they did not get too many shooting opportunities. This has a lot to do with Aguero's incompatibility in the frontcourt.

In the whole game, Aguero only had 2 shots, none of which were on target, but he lost the ball 18 times in the game (second only to Walker). This passing efficiency also compromised Manchester City's offensive.

Today's Aguero has become a "chicken rib" for Guashuai and Manchester City, as the saying goes, "It's a pity to discard what is tasteless."

If he is not used, Manchester City will waste a center with strong personal ability in vain; if he is used as a regular main force, the problem of his inability to integrate with the team's style will disrupt the team's operation.

Because of this, Aguero has become a big problem for Manchester City, and it has also become a key issue to test Guashuai's vision and ability. If Guashuai can use Aguero correctly, then this Argentine striker must have the ability to become Guashuai The most trusted and most reliable trump card.

……

The world of football is so realistic and cruel. The winners of Liverpool and Uncle Scum are sought after by thousands of people, while the losers of Manchester City are held accountable to the end.

In order to protect the players, Gua Tu shifted the responsibility to the referee who was enforcing the law on the spot, and even was punished by the FA, but the media's eyes are still very poisonous.
