The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 700

Van Dijk looked at Li Chuanqi who ran into the field, and shook his head slightly, another feeling appeared in his heart.

This guy's blood is cold!
You are so cruel to yourself!

Liverpool's offense, which fell behind in the score, was fierce, like a huge red wave rushing fiercely towards the blue reef.

The big waves came and hit the blue reef, splashing huge waves!

In the No.403 minute of the first half, Firmino made a strong shot in the circle of the penalty area!
Stones blocked the football with his body!
Mane shot!

Ederson bravely saves the football from the goal!
No.404 minutes, Liverpool corner kick, Milner header over the bar!

In the second minute of stoppage time, Manchester City failed to attack, Liverpool counterattacked, Wijnaldum made a long pass!
After Salah got the ball from the right, he drove straight in, got rid of Walker on the right side of the penalty area, and shot!
Football is played on the side nets!
The Manchester City players united as one, and kept the score of [-] to [-] until the end of the first half!

Players from both sides left the court and returned to the locker room to prepare for the decisive battle in the second half.

Anfield became temporarily quiet as the players left.

The journalists on the sidelines were discussing:

"Aside from the score, the two teams are almost evenly divided on the scene!"

"Strictly speaking, Liverpool has the upper hand!"

"How can the game be talked about without the score? So Manchester City has the upper hand!"

"In fact, Salah's performance tonight is still good. If Mane scored that one-handed goal, the situation on the field will be completely different..."

"You can't say that. If Aguero and Sterling can also seize the opportunity, the situation will probably be different!"

"After all, Li is still very good. In the field of header, which he is least good at, he overwhelmed Van Dijk and scored a goal. It's amazing!"

"You have a problem with what you said. Why is Li not good at headers? I remember that he has scored several goals with his head this season!"

"I mean you didn't catch me, compared to other players, Li's header is still good, but compared to himself, the header is relatively poor..."

"Van Dijk did a good job with that ball, but it's a pity that he retreated a little bit slowly. Otherwise, it's not clear whether Li can grab the point and complete a high-quality header!"

"The first half is over, let's look forward to the second half!"

"Well, I think Liverpool performed well tonight. Manchester City really met their opponents. This is also their most difficult game in the Premier League!"

"Liverpool will definitely come back, this game will end in a draw!"

"I also think Liverpool can pull it back!"

"I think Liverpool can not only pull it back, but overtake it!"

"Impossible! Manchester City will take advantage of the victory in the second half! I believe Manchester City will continue to win!"

Journalists are still divided.

……

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team is not bad. Although they are one goal behind, they are no worse than Manchester City in terms of offense and creating threatening shots.

It can even be said that Liverpool is stronger.

Liverpool can create a single-handed goal, Manchester City did not have a single-handed goal in the first half.

After summarizing the first half of the game, Klopp put forward requirements for the second half of the game: "First, the ability to seize opportunities must be improved. In the first half, we did not create scoring opportunities, but failed to convert these opportunities into opportunities. goal!

To improve the ability to seize opportunities, the first thing we need to do is to be patient and calm!
With patience, we can slowly find the opponent's weak defense, and then launch a fatal blow!
When opportunities arise, it is very important to remain calm! "

When talking about defense, Klopp looked at the back line and said: "I am still satisfied with everyone, except for that one mistake, we hardly gave them any chances!
So when defending Li, he can't relax at any time. He is a player who can pose a threat at any time and place! "

Van Dijk and other players nodded slightly.

Many of their players are playing against Li Chuanqi for the first time. Although they have studied Li Chuanqi's game many times, it feels completely different when they actually meet Li Chuanqi.

Klopp said loudly: "Tonight is a game with no retreat, we must win!"

Everyone took a deep breath, determination appeared in their eyes.

That's right, this is a game with no retreat!

……

In the locker room of the visiting team, although the score was ahead, they did not get carried away.

Because their opponent is Liverpool, the Liverpool who want to compete with them for the top spot, and the undefeated Liverpool in the Premier League!

Guardiola was not too satisfied with the first half: "Whether it is offensive or defensive, we did not do well in many places in the first half!
In terms of offense, the space is not wide enough, the players are not active enough to move, and when opportunities arise, they are too eager to shoot..."

After thinking about it, the offensive players nodded and acknowledged these problems.

Against a team like Liverpool, you cannot be more patient than you are against other teams.

"The defense is still doing well most of the time, but there are still problems in marking the opponent's key players, and there are also certain problems in supplementary defense. Mane's single-handedness is that we did not supplement the defense in time!"

After Guardiola criticized the players, he praised them for what they did well and made a judgment for the second half.

"Obviously, Liverpool want to take advantage of the advantage at home and win tonight's game. Now that they are behind, they will definitely strengthen their attack.

We have already seen in the first half that their counterattack is very sharp, so we have to destroy his quick counterattack as soon as possible!
If you can't press down, you will be fouled!
One goal is to not let them play speed on the counter-attack.

They press harder when we have the ball!
What we have to do is to move the ball faster after taking the ball, and don't give the local foul a chance! "

He finally emphasized: "This is a game that must be won!"

The crowd nodded.

Of course, the battle for the top spot must be won!

……

After a 15-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the field.

Liverpool took the lead in making personnel adjustments, replacing Milner and Keita!

Manchester City did not make adjustments to the lineup.

Huge cheers erupted at Anfield, like a giant beast waking up again.

The second half is coming!
"Tick!..."

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game began.

Liverpool advanced very fast, quickly pushed the football into the front field and launched an attack!

City refused to concede an inch and engaged Liverpool in a fierce battle in their own half.

Players from both sides screamed frequently and fell on the turf!
The referee had to give verbal warnings again and again, and then saw that the players on both sides still did not restrain themselves, so they began to draw cards!
10 minutes before the start of the second half, the referee took out five consecutive yellow cards, of which Manchester City got three and Liverpool got two!

The Sky Sports commentator sighed: "After the start of the second half, the two sides increased the intensity of defense, and in just 10 minutes they got a total of five yellow cards!
Despite the Premier League's reputation for confrontation, five yellow cards in 10 minutes are extremely rare.

It can be seen how fierce the competition between the two sides is!
It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's two yellow cards all appeared when defending Lee.

Obviously, after the first half of the game, Liverpool realized that containing Lee is the most important task in defeating Manchester City! "
