My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

"Guardiola, in the semi-final against Liverpool, some fans said Manchester City will definitely win the final championship. What do you think about this?"

Guardiola straightened the microphone and spoke.

"There are no certainties in football, but I have every confidence in my team and we will fight for our place in the final."

"In my opinion, this semi-final is more like a confrontation between two tactical systems."

"Liverpool's frenetic offensive football versus Manchester City's delicate ball control system, berserkers armed with battle axes versus holy swordsmen in armor."

"Who will win in the end? I think everyone is looking forward to it."

This semi-final attracted the attention of the entire English football world. The number of people who have booked the live broadcast alone has exceeded 10 million, and the total viewership is expected to break the historical record of the EFL Cup.

The main reason is that only one of the two extremely strong teams can advance to the final, which is extremely cruel, but this is football.

Klopp and Kravitz studied all of Manchester City's game videos all night, replaying Manchester City's game data frame by frame.

The two men did not return home for three whole days, but fortunately their wives were at home for those three days.

Klopp wanted to develop a tactic that could specifically defend Manchester City's ball possession system, and this required Liverpool players to run like mad dogs on the field.

By running, the team's lack of ball control ability is covered up, thus forming comprehensive interception and coverage on the field.

On the other side, Guardiola was studying Liverpool's front attacking group.

The lights in Manchester City's coaching room were on all night, and assistant coaches Arteta and Guardiola also did not go home for three days.

"With Lin as the center, three routes spread out forward, with Mane on the left, Firmino in the middle, and Salah on the right."

Arteta draws three lines on the screen, showing off his superb painting skills.

"These three people can always form a clever connection with Lin. More importantly, they can play extremely beautiful and fast cooperation with each other."

"This is a very crucial role. I think we should double-team Lin from all angles."

Guardiola nodded frequently, and a bold formation emerged in his mind.

"We put four midfielders on the field, two in front and two in the back, and let Ferlandinho and Jingdong An be responsible for double-teaming Lin."

"De Bruyne and David Silva stabilized the rhythm in the midfield, reduced the pressure on the back line, and provided more firepower support for the forward line."

Four midfielders, an extremely rare formation.

But Arteta understands that for the madman Guardiola, he would not be surprised even if he fielded a formation without a defensive midfielder or a striker.

All major live broadcast rooms are following this match, and on the day of the semi-final, Wembley Stadium is ready.

All major live broadcast rooms were crowded, and both sides submitted their starting lineups in advance.

In the Huaxia live broadcast room, Coach Zhan was introducing the starting lineups of both teams to the fans.

And the moment he got Manchester City's starting lineup, Coach James couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"When I saw this formation, I knew it would be Guardiola's."

"Three central defenders and four midfielders, dear fans, have you ever seen such a starting lineup?"

Coach Zhang began to introduce the team to the fans.

"Goalkeeper, Ederson, the ball-playing goalkeeper from Brazil."

"Three central defenders, Laporte, Stones and Otamendi."

"Four midfielders, the two behind are Fernandinho and Gundogan, and the two in front are De Bruyne and David Silva."

"Sane on the left, Sterling on the right, Aguero on the center!"

"It's an extremely magical formation, but perhaps this strange formation will have a miraculous effect. We still need to wait and see what the specific effect will be."

Major live broadcast rooms.

"If Guardiola stops doing things one day, my youth will be over."
