"Manchester City will definitely want to take advantage of Liverpool's severe weakness to widen the gap to five points. They will definitely not show mercy in this game!"
Scholes guessed correctly. Although they were playing away, Manchester City soon took the initiative and played offensive football on the field.
Ball control combined with offense!
Mahrez's frequent dribbling breakthroughs on the right made Robertson very uncomfortable.
Wijnaldum was forced to retreat to help defend the wing, Rodri retreated to the center to protect, and the front half of the midfield was completely left to Lin Chen alone.
David Silva and Bernardo Silva, the combination of the two Silva is Manchester City's dual-core tactics, both of them have strong ball control ability!
The 18th minute of the game!
"David Silva dribbled the ball and passed it to the right side facing his little brother from the national team."
“Bernardo Silva was left wide open in front of him and Wijnaldum was stuck in the middle and looked very uncomfortable.”
"Bernardo Silva continued to dribble the ball and Rodri intercepted head-on."
"Pass it to the left, Sterling one-on-one with Arnold!"
"Sterling goes down the crease and tries to take advantage of his speed!"
"Arnold got the first step to shovel the ball out of the sideline. What a thrilling defense!"
"Sterling is just one step away from breaking through!"
Liverpool fans applauded Arnold's defense, but Sterling quickly threw the ball out of bounds and passed it to David Silva, who got the ball and passed it to the right, a beautiful long pass!
Mahrez showed off his superb ball-stopping skills and deliberately moved sideways to lure Robertson to steal the ball.
Robertson was fooled, and at the moment of stealing the ball, Mahrez suddenly started and burst out with the ball on the spot!
It's his signature shaking move!
With a beautiful move to get past Robertson, Mahrez continued to dribble the ball, followed by a bicycle kick and shot directly into the near corner with his right foot!
"Hit the door!"
"Mignolet dived to the side to block it, there is still a chance!"
"Ojo follows Bigfoot to clear the situation!"
"Manchester City frequently creates crises in Liverpool's penalty area!"
"Liverpool's recent winless streak continued into this game. Even though Lin Chen has returned, this losing streak will be like a curse that will lock Liverpool up like a chain."
"If they want to get back to their form, they need to break the current predicament. I don't mean at the tactical or ability level, but at the spiritual and psychological level!"
A losing streak will definitely affect the state of the entire team, and may even lead to a team falling into an inexplicable situation, a feeling of struggle where they don’t know how to break through the difficulties.
Compared with the winning streak at the beginning of the season, Lin Chen felt that the overall condition of the team has indeed declined compared to before.
Lin Chen can only share more pressure for his teammates by running more and ensure that the rhythm is stabilized first!
But Manchester City's attack was like thick clouds in the sky, one layer wrapped around another.
"David Silva made a direct pass and Aguero was offside!"
"A burst of shot from the left side of the penalty area! Mignolet made a successful save!"
……
"Lin Chen dribbled the ball and broke through, choosing to break through on his own and move forward along the middle."
"Fernandinho double-teamed Bernardo Silva, and he reached out to pull, but he couldn't move."
"Fernandinho hit the opponent from the side, and the referee finally called a foul!"
"Fernandinho gets a yellow card!"
"There was a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and we made a tactical combination and sent the ball into the penalty area."
"Firmino leans on the ball with his back, pulls the ball, turns around, and shoots directly!"
"It's too high, Firmino fired a cannon!"
Although Liverpool had opportunities to counterattack, it was obvious from Scholes' commentary that all the truly dangerous attacks were created by Manchester City!
"At this point, 30 minutes had passed in the first half. In terms of ball possession, Manchester City had 62 percent and had four more shots than Liverpool, with two more on target."
"Liverpool had three shots in total, none of which were on target, and Ederson has not been tested at all!"
The first half was passing quickly. Although no goals were scored, Liverpool fans were obviously more nervous than Manchester City fans!
"This feeling of oppression, this feeling of suppression, I almost forgot about it after winning five titles last season, but now it's back!"
"I hate this feeling. Please get us out of this mess. We have to win this game!"
"Guardiola's Manchester City has achieved success, perfect system, perfect style!"
"If they continue like this, Liverpool will lose the ball sooner or later. Once they let Manchester City open their scoring account, it will be like Pandora's box has been opened!"
Finally, when Jones blew the whistle to mark the half-time break, the Liverpool players were visibly relieved.
Lin Chen quickly ran back to the locker room.
The Liverpool locker room was very quiet. The oppressive feeling on the field seemed to be brought into the locker room by the players. Klopp looked at Lin Chen. He knew that Lin Chen had something to say.
Lin Chen nodded at Klopp, stood up and spoke.
"0-0, a tough first half. I know what we are going through. Many of our main players are injured and we are not a complete lineup, but this is not a reason for us to keep losing!"
"It's the 14th round of the league, almost halfway through, and we are behind Manchester City, but is this enough for us to give up?"
"Do you want to give up?" Lin Chen looked around at his teammates!
"Let me tell you something!"
"This is my team!"
"This is my territory!"
"Everyone here is our fan!"
"I!"
"We!"
"Absolutely!"
"No!"
"put!"
"abandoned!"
"Fight with them!"
“Fight them to the end!!!”
