I Want to Be the King of Football

With the whistle of the referee Dodd, Su Dong in the middle circle quickly kicked the ball to Sanchez, who passed the ball back directly to the foot of Kompany on the back line.

This is Manchester City's strategy after the opening, and they want to be stable.

Liverpool's front trident pressed towards Manchester City's defense line for the first time, but the midfield and back line were still concentrated in the center line and their own half area, which also showed Liverpool's caution.

Only three players were used in the frontcourt pressing. Needless to say, the effect is basically impossible to grab. In particular, Gerrard did not press forward with Busquets’ retreat, causing Suarez to have two central defenders and Busquets in Manchester City. Back and forth between.

After turning back twice, Suarez also gave up.

Nima, the game has only just started, are you embarrassed to be so tossing people?

The two wingers Bellamy and Tangning also slowed down their pressing efforts and chose to retreat and move closer to the midfield.

In the unnamed game in the final, both teams started cautiously, testing their opponents.

Manchester City patiently controls the ball, controls the rhythm, and is not in a hurry to attack, while Liverpool interferes in the frontcourt, mainly defending in the middle and backcourt, and is unwilling to invest in pressing, for fear of affecting the level of defense.

It is not difficult to see from this that Dalglish is still quite jealous of Manchester City.

The first shot of the game happened in the first minute of the game. Toni Cross passed the ball. After Su Dong stopped the ball and passed Skortel, he shot directly and kicked 20. A long shot of about five meters.

This shot didn't hold the ball, it was a little high.

Su Dong kicked this shot, more to boost the morale of the team, and at the same time to suppress the spirit of Liverpool players.

Obviously, Liverpool became more cautious after being attacked with a long shot, which directly led to a stalemate in the following period of time, and neither side was able to get another shot.

Both teams are testing each other, infiltrating each other, patiently waiting for opportunities to arise.

...

The game was very intense, but both sides were cautious.

The unnamed game in the final, I believe that all fans watching this game should have such mental preparations.

Manchester City has a high ball possession rate now, which has exceeded 70%. Most of them are still patiently squatting in the middle and backcourt, and they will pass the ball forward when they find an opportunity. Try not to lose the ball.”

Liverpool is reducing the pressure to move forward. Even Bellamy, Suarez and Downing are actively retreating to midfield defense. Once they lose the ball, they immediately retreat across the board. They are very resolute. Dalglish is obviously also in I'm afraid of Manchester City's first counterattack after stealing the ball, and Liverpool's defense is really solid.

This is the Manchester City manager, Guardiola.

...

Guardiola didn't notice that he was being captured by a live broadcast camera. He went straight to the sidelines, kept making various gestures towards the players on the field, and occasionally shouted twice to remind the players to keep close. Watch the situation change.

Manchester City's players basically understand what Guardiola means, which is to be steady.

In the five major European leagues, when any team is bent on defending and defending, it is very difficult to break through, which is why the iron barrel formation has become a worldwide problem.

Through passing and controlling the ball, Manchester City controlled the ball and rhythm of the game, which is equivalent to grasping the initiative. Naturally, they do not want Liverpool to be too conservative. It is best to press it out to attack Manchester City, but this is unrealistic.

Dalglish's attitude is to attach importance to defense, and Manchester City's strategy is to patiently control the ball near the midline, patiently look for opportunities, and pull the opponent's defense through passing and receiving the ball, as well as players' movement without the ball. Can't create a defensive gap and then attack.

The reason for choosing the midline area is that I don't want Liverpool's formation to be compressed too tightly, and it will become an iron barrel formation. It is also a very troublesome thing to attack.

Therefore, Manchester City always finds an opportunity to pass forward. After the players in the frontcourt get the ball, they will pass back and reorganize when there is no chance. The overall formation is not overwhelmed. The focus is basically near the center line, and the overall position is obviously lower than usual. Some.

Guardiola's gestures and shouts on the sidelines are actually reminding the players of their positions.

Does Liverpool know?

You know, Dalglish is even clearer.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the ball is the carrot that Manchester City hangs in front of the Liverpool donkey.

Liverpool want it?

Who doesn't want to?

As long as the team wants to win, who doesn't want the ball?

Once you get the ball, you can counterattack and have a chance to score.

Keep it up, okay?

No, but the question is, who can guarantee that their defense will not make mistakes under the repeated pulling and penetration of Manchester City?

Especially when Manchester City has a top scorer like Sudong.

Blindly defending, not daring to fight back if there is a chance, isn't this chronic suicide?

To a certain extent, the game between Manchester City and Liverpool is whether this carrot will be eaten by Liverpool.

After being eaten, Liverpool grabbed the ball and seized the opportunity to score, then Manchester City lost.

If Liverpool wants to eat carrots and make mistakes in their back line and are caught by Manchester City, then Liverpool lose.

Guardiola and Dalglish are very aware of this, so they are not rash, are cautious and seek stability.

This kind of competition is very fierce, and both sides are full of gunpowder, but they are also very restrained and cautious, and there are no actions that should be taken.

The game was in this intense and dull rhythm, and ten minutes passed.

Except for Su Dong's long-range shot in the opening game, neither side even had a shot.

But whether it is the 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium or all the fans around the world watching the game squatting in front of the TV, they can easily feel the tension and intensity of this game.

It was as if two supreme masters of martial arts were comparing swords, either not making a move, or making a move would be fatal.

...

In the twelfth minute, the second shot of the audience appeared, and it was still a long shot.

Sanchez from Manchester City, after he dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area and cut inward, suddenly folded to the penalty area and took a long shot. The result was directly wide of the bottom line of the pitch, and there was still a lot of distance from the goal.

This attack also allowed Manchester City to gradually increase their offensive efforts.

After ten minutes of testing, Manchester City tried to put more pressure on Liverpool and wanted to create more chances.

Liverpool retreated into their own half, but Gerrard also strengthened the suppression and interference of Busquets.

In the 16th minute, Liverpool suddenly completed a steal in front of their own 30-meter area. After successfully intercepting Tony Cross's pass, they quickly instigated a counterattack and made a long pass directly to Bellamy.

Liverpool's winger moved forward at the fastest speed on the flank, stopped the ball, just in the penalty area to meet Zabaleta who returned to defense in time.

Although the Manchester City right-back is not as good as Marcelo in attack, he has always been diligent. When it is time for him to come back, he is always in the first place, which is much more reliable than Marcelo on the left.

After stopping the ball, Bellamy pressed Zabaleta directly, and the two faced each other. Bellamy shook a gap, passed the ball into the penalty area, and found Suarez.

I saw that the Uruguayan striker stopped the ball before Kompany, made continuous fake moves and spikes in the penalty area, just relying on his personal ability to create a gap in Kompany and kicked the goal directly.

Kompany is not a vegetarian either, limiting Suarez's shot angle, and Courtois just blocked this angle, so Suarez's shot looks as if it hit Courtois directly in his arms.

Rao was the opponent and he was at the forefront, but Su Dong still applauded Suarez's shot.

If nothing else, with this personal ability, there is absolutely no second one in the Liverpool team.

Even in the Premier League, there are really not many players who can have the ability of Suarez.

Su Dong called out Tony Cross, Busquets and other teammates, signaling the team to stabilize the defense in the midfield and backcourt, and appropriately retreat the defense line towards the goal.

It looks like Manchester City has lingering fears after being attacked by Liverpool for a counterattack, and wants to make some space for Liverpool, but it also contains another meaning, that is, for Liverpool to taste the sweetness, it is best to move forward Press out some.

After taking the first shot through the counterattack after stealing the ball, Liverpool also began to press and intercept more actively near the midline, and in the 21st minute, they once again completed the steal and kicked it out again. fight back.

After receiving a pass from Henderson, Tangning directly hit the gap behind Marcelo that had been exposed.

After Pepe threw Suarez to Kompany, he ran to the outer edge of the penalty area to provide Marcelo with a space. At the same time, he saw the opportunity and directly entangled Tangning.

The Liverpool winger tried to forcibly break through Pepe but failed, so he could only reluctantly kicked the ball and crossed, but on the right side of the penalty spot, Downing's pass was intercepted by Busquets, who had retreated in time, and passed to the unguarded Tony. Cross.

Suddenly, the situation took a turn for the worse. Liverpool, who had been counterattacking, was suddenly intercepted by Manchester City and formed a counterattack.

Tony Cross stopped the ball, looked in front of him, and sent a long pass directly.

The football accurately crossed most of the pitch, crossed the midline, and fell directly behind the Liverpool defence.

Su Dong moved forward at the fastest speed, and competed with Daniel Agger for speed. He just came from behind, ahead of Daniel Agger, and stopped Tony Cross's long pass to the front of him. After the man blocked Daniel Agger's body again, he forcibly shook off the Liverpool central defender and continued to sprint forward.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Su Dong, Daniel Agger wanted to block Su Dong, but he was dodged by Su Dong again. He lost his focus, staggered and almost didn't fall, and completely lost the chance to stop Su Dong.

Skrtel had been dragging at the back of the queue. Seeing that Daniel Agger couldn't stop Su Dong, he rushed over to help the defense immediately, and both entered the right side of Liverpool's penalty area with Su Dong.
