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

"The second half of the game is about to begin. The score is still 0-0, but Manchester City has an overall advantage in terms of statistics."

"Although Lin Chen has brought improvements to the team's midfield after his return from injury, he still needs more time to adapt to the team's current state and find ways to help the team out of its current predicament!"

Lin Chen was thinking all the time in the first half. The biggest difficulty was that Lin Chen wanted to attack, but he could not feel the impact and conversion speed of his teammates around him.

Mane faced Kyle Walker alone on the left and had no advantage. In a one-on-one situation, Kyle Walker was not inferior to Mane in terms of speed or stamina. Even if he could not completely defend him, he could at least prevent Mane from creating opportunities.

Shaqiri also had some difficulties facing the strong French full-back Mendy.

Although Shaqiri has a faster pace, Mendy's physical fitness is too good, especially his long legs, which allows him to always steal the ball from Shaqiri's feet in an unexpected way.

Unable to open up the situation on the wing, Firmino in the middle was no different from being in prison. Except for occasionally retreating to receive the pass from Lin Chen, he could not feel the support of his teammates at other times.

Laporte and Stones defended Firmino very tightly!

Klopp adjusted the team's tactical structure, and different players must have different tactical play!

The 15 minutes ended quickly and both sides returned to the court.

The confidence was visible on the faces of Manchester City players, and the atmosphere at Liverpool, which was a bit dull in the first half, also changed.

Lin Chen pulled up the captain's armband while communicating with Firmino. No one knew what they were talking about.

"Beep!"

"When the game started, neither side made any substitutions."

"Liverpool kicks off first, let Lin Chen take charge and organize the game."

"Liverpool's position has changed. Wijnaldum has started to move forward, while Rodri is still behind to protect."

Lin Chen received the ball and quickly passed it back to Rodri, and then Arnold began to press forward. On the other side, Robertson ran at high speed and rushed towards Kyle Walker with Mane.

The two tried to create a numerical advantage on the wing. Manchester City's formation also pressed forward and implemented high-pressure pressing. Guardiola imitated Klopp's pressing style and did not give Liverpool space to pass the ball from the backcourt.

The 52th minute of the game!

"Manchester City always pressed forward. They played very confidently and left some space behind Liverpool. However, under high pressure, Liverpool could not find a suitable passing opportunity."

"Arnold passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, Mignolet paused for a moment, observed and passed it to the left."

"There are reports that Liverpool are making initial contact with Roma's young Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson and may make a move in the winter transfer window, but Alisson's current price is not cheap."

Robertson had already pressed forward and was running on the left with Mané, but Mignolet still passed the ball to the left.

At this time, it was not Robertson who received the ball on the left, but Van Dijk.

Liverpool's backcourt became a three-defender position!

Van Dijk came to the left, Ojo was in the middle, and Arnold was on the right. The distance between the three defenders was very large.

It seems to be leaking everywhere, but in fact it gives Liverpool more opportunities to buffer.

The distance between them is large, and Manchester City players will run with the ball and the distance they have to cover for pressure will also be larger.

Sterling and Aguero changed direction again and rushed to the left. Van Dijk paused slightly and passed the ball back to Mignolet.

This time Mignolet did not stop and kicked the ball to Ojo in front of him.

Ocho turned around and took big strides forward as he received the ball. In order to press Van Dijk, Aguero had left the center position. There was no one pressing in the middle of Manchester City's frontcourt, so there was an empty space!

Ocho didn't stop at all and took advantage of the open space to dribble the ball forward!

This is Klopp's midfield adjustment, he wants Ojo to become the backcourt driver.
