Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 368

9月29日英超第7轮比赛的周五比赛日，曼城主场2-0轻取布莱顿，曼市的媒体又开始狂吹瓜迪奥拉和曼城。

It seems that they are worried that Manchester City's existing lineup is not enough to defeat Liverpool, and the media in London even attracted Mbappe in Paris.

"It was exposed that Manchester City made a shocking purchase! In winter, 2 million pounds were spent on Mbappé, Gua Shuai wants to fight for the Champions League."

Although he has played in Paris for a season, French supernova Mbappe still has no shortage of chasers.

British media sources said that Manchester City plans to try a shocking purchase in January next year to bring Mbappe to the Premier League.

"Daily Mail" said that when Mbappé was still playing for Liverpool, Guardiola admired him very much.

The Spanish coach believes that Mbappe can bring Manchester City to the Champions League throne, and wants to propose a record-breaking transfer fee of 2 million pounds, with a weekly salary of 40 pounds.

When Neymar switched to Paris last year, the transfer fee was 1.98 million pounds.

According to UEFA's new rules, even if Mbappe has represented Paris in the Champions League group stage against Liverpool this season, if he transfers to Manchester City in winter, he can still represent the Blue Moon Army in the knockout rounds of this season's Champions League.

This major change in the rules also allows the giants participating in the Champions League to make greater reinforcements in the winter transfer window.

It is reported that Manchester City's idea comes from the investigation of the financial fairness policy accepted by Paris.

UEFA has not ruled that Paris has violated the rules, but it still needs to re-examine the situation of Paris. At present, this matter has been handed over to the club's financial control management office for further investigation.

If Mbappe is to be introduced at a sky-high price, Manchester City may sell Sterling to raise funds.The Englishman's contract expires in the summer of 2020, and he and Manchester City have not yet reached an agreement on a contract extension.

Zhang Mai snorted when he heard the news, and wanted to make a big move for Paris. Manchester City will be stunned by UEFA's financial investigation early next year.

The "Manchester Evening News" naturally praised Manchester City's victory, and at the same time did not forget to cheer for the Red Army's opponent Chelsea in the seventh round of the league. gorgeous"

2-0 victory over Brighton, 4 consecutive victories... These seem to have become "routine operations" for top giants like Manchester City.

However, after watching the game, Manchester City, known for its high ball possession rate and passing style, made a surprising and desperate evolution:
Gua Shuai's team defeated the opponent with an extremely sharp counterattack.

Facing the powerful Manchester City, many weaker teams will always give up the ball and choose to set up "iron barrel formations" and "buses" in the penalty area to defend. The "death spot" that is good at dealing with.

In this game, Brighton also made up their minds to use the "busting" tactic, often placing 10 defensive players (including goalkeeper Rennes) in the penalty area.

Brighton's tactics also made Manchester City helpless for a period of time, but what Brighton didn't expect was that Guardiola's team used counterattacks to win.

It can be seen that Manchester City's two counterattacks are not the same as their usual complex and gorgeous pass and control style, but in dribbling, passing, and running, the seemingly simple counterattack actually contains full three-dimensionality, Technically, this is undoubtedly even more terrifying, and people can't help but exclaim:

Playing counterattacks can be so gorgeous and sharp, what else can Guardiola, a master tactician, not know?

Manchester City's current style has begun to change from pure gorgeousness to a combination of gorgeousness and practicality. It is inevitable that we pay tribute to Chelsea, the representative of the Premier League's practical giants. We also hope that Chelsea will fully demonstrate the style of practical football at the Stanford Stadium on the 30th.

……

In the anticipation of Manchester City and even Manchester City fans, Liverpool came to Stamford Bridge Stadium and started the seventh round of the league with the home team Chelsea.

Chelsea has just been eliminated by Liverpool in the League Cup in midweek. Chelsea has only won 7 game against Liverpool in the last 1 Premier League games.

However, it is also difficult for Liverpool to gain the upper hand at Stamford Bridge. The last 4 visits have only three draws and one loss.

The starting lineups for both teams are as follows:
Chelsea (4-3-3):

1 - Kopa;

28-Azpilicueta, 30-Luiz, 2-Rudiger, 3-Alonso;
7-Kanter, 5-Jorginho, 17-Kovacic;

22-William, 18-Giroud, 10-Azar.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

13- Alisson;
66-Arnold, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
14-Henderson, 7-Milner, 10-Zhang Mai;

11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 10-Mane.

Sarri continued to form the same starting lineup as last round, and Klopp only used Zhang Mai and Maguire to return to the starting lineup.

Chelsea is the most practical team among the Premier League giants. Iron-blood defense, physical confrontation and fierce fighting are their magic weapons.

The anti-reverse style created from the first period of Magic Birds is still the characteristic of the team. Therefore, most of the Italian coaches who are qualified for Chelsea's coaching position are Italian coaches.

Controlling the ball and winning big are not important. Everything starts with a good defense. The offense used to rely on the iron waist and Warcraft, but now it relies on the sharp breakthroughs of Hazard and William, coupled with Morata's flash of inspiration and Giroud dog wearing a hat.

Liverpool has long been prepared for this, the forward trident remains unchanged, and the midfielder is Zhang Mai, Milner and captain Henderson. They are ready to compete with Chelsea in the midfield.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams did not have any stage of testing each other, and they directly fought fiercely and played fast-paced.

In the 5th minute, Zhang Mai resisted the pass from Louis at the front of the penalty area. Salah's weak shot from the edge of the penalty area was easily obtained by Kepa.

Five minutes later, Arnold passed the ball from the bottom of the right. Salah flashed Rudiger and then missed the edge of the penalty area.

In the 15th minute, Firmino intercepted Jorginho's pass, but Mane's outside shot was sent into the Matthew Harding stand.

The home team, Chelsea, was on the defensive, and Liverpool continued to exert pressure, but they did not get an absolute chance.

In the 20th minute, Milner made a direct pass, Salah scored the ball, and Firmino's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Luiz.

Chelsea's first threat to attack appeared in the 22nd minute. Louis made a precise long pass. William, who successfully countered offside, stopped the ball and broke into the edge of the penalty area. However, Alisson blocked the final single-handed shot in time.

Chelsea's attack marked a change in the situation on the field. The home team, which had been blindly defending before, gradually became threatening and offensive.

Chelsea took the lead in the 25th minute, Kovacic sent a direct pass, Hazard rushed into the far corner 12 yards from the left side of the penalty area.

1-0！这是阿扎尔本季8场比赛的第7粒入球，其中英超8次射门6次得分，扎球王的状态正好。

The home team, leading by one goal, returned to the original Tietong defense, and Liverpool dominated the ball, but it was difficult to have a deadly offensive threat.

Liverpool almost equalized in the 32nd minute. Firmino made a direct pass. Salah got rid of Alonso and then waded through the attacking Kepa. .

Next, the two sides continued to practice halftime offense and defense. Chelsea didn't talk about the main face, and seemed to be more satisfied with the 1-0 lead.

Before half-time, Arnold made a diagonal pass from the right. Mane stopped the ball with his back to the goal 13 yards and then took a barb shot. However, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area. Zhang Mai took the lead in the entanglement with Rudiger Machine, header shot into the net.

1-1!Zhang Mai's goal brought the two sides back to the same starting line, and the two teams shook hands in the first half.

After the intermission, the two sides fought again in another place. Liverpool still attacked hard, and Chelsea also accelerated their counterattack.

In the 49th minute, Oxtail on the left side of William's penalty area passed Arnold and passed the ball, but Giroud shot from a small angle and missed the near corner.

In the 58th minute, Zhang Mai went straight and Firmino returned a pass. Mane cut into the penalty area and shot a low shot from 10 yards from the left rib, which was saved by Kepa. Then Salah's corner kick went out from the left side of the penalty area.

In the 64th minute, Chelsea was about to steal a chicken, Kanter quickly sent a free kick, Hazard broke into the penalty area and shot a single shot from the left side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Alisson and went over the crossbar.

The situation on the court was stalemate, and the coaches of both teams began to make substitutions and adjustments in order to break the balance first.

In the 65th minute, Morata replaced Giroud for Chelsea, and Shaqiri replaced Salah for Liverpool.

In the 68th minute, Kanter broke into the penalty area and passed back. Kovacic shot from the outside and was saved by Alisson.

Liverpool missed a great opportunity in the 70th minute. Robertson made a cross from the left, and Shaqiri, who was unguarded, missed a shot from 10 yards.

Two minutes later, the Red Army made a comeback. Milner made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Kopa's shot missed, but Firmino's header from the edge of the small penalty area was blocked by Luiz in front of the goal line.

In the 78th minute, the two teams made personnel adjustments again. Keita replaced Henderson, and Barkley also replaced Kovacic.

The substitutions on both sides are very targeted, and it is difficult to change the situation on the field for a while. Liverpool is the main attack, and Chelsea is still tightening their defense.

In the 82nd minute, Shaqiri's direct free kick from 25 yards was confiscated by Kepa.

Shortly afterwards, Firmino passed the ball and Keita shot low from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 86th minute, ex-Chelsea striker Sturridge replaced Milner, and Liverpool once again strengthened their attack in the frontcourt through substitutions.

The game time gradually flowed to the end, but Klopp's final substitution still had a miraculous effect.

Liverpool reversed the score in the 89th minute, Shaqiri crossed, Sturridge headed back in the penalty area, and Zhang Mai shot a deciduous ball from 25 yards from the left into the upper right dead corner.

2-1, Zhang Mai scored twice and entered the world wave to overtake Chelsea. Klopp clenched his fists on the sidelines to celebrate.

The home team, Chelsea, fought back frantically at the last moment. Fortunately, Liverpool withstood the last few minutes and kept the victory until the end of the game.

In the end, Chelsea was reversed by Liverpool 1-2 at home. Kovacic assisted Hazard to score a goal. Rudiger and Luiz made rescues from the goal line. Alisson also saved twice. Zhang Mai scored twice and scored twice in the 89 Minute lore.

Chelsea suffered a defeat at the beginning of the season, while Liverpool still maintained a complete victory and led the standings. Zhang Mai also scored his 8th Premier League goal this season.

Manchester City fans were very disappointed with the result of this battle, and they scolded that the Stanford Devils' home court is useless, and was trampled to the ground by the rude Liverpool.
