King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 198 Chance (4K)

Against Liverpool at home, Guardiola still has a deep impression on Klopp, the German coach.

And now it is their rematch in the Premier League. Guardiola, who wants to achieve a good result, will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

The focus of this duel is on the choice of the offensive and defensive sides. As long as Ou gives Li Feng a chance, Guardiola believes that the two central defenders of Liverpool will not be able to limit Li Feng.

Among them, Lovren is easier to target. Although he is "tall and big", the problem brought about by such a strong physical condition is that his turning speed is not fast enough, and the advantage of speed is Li Feng's big killer!
The two head coaches are very clear about this, it depends on who can score first to change the situation on the field.

As far as Klopp's tactical arrangements for this game are concerned, he knows very well that the defensive end cannot withstand Manchester City's offensive. If he wants to take away points from the Etihad Stadium, then he has only one way-attack.

Regardless of whether it is the opening rush or the transition from defense to offense, Liverpool needs to give the opponent enough pressure, otherwise this game will really be "cool"!
"At the beginning of the game, Liverpool, who played away, got the first chance to attack. This is a good opportunity for them to attack."

"Let's take this little time now to introduce the starting players of both sides!"

"Manchester City's home game adopts a 4141 formation;
Caballero was placed in the goalkeeper position, and Bravo was placed on the bench;
The defense line from left to right is: Clichy, Otamendi, Stones, Yaya Toure;
Midfield position: De Bruyne as right midfielder, Fernandinho as late, David Silva as left midfielder;
The two wingers are: Sane and Sterling;
Li Feng is at the front;

The formation has been adjusted, but for Li Feng, he is quite used to this position! "

After introducing Manchester City, Zhang Jun non-stop began to introduce Liverpool's starting 11 players.

"The Red Army's Liverpool side is a 433 formation;

Forwards: Coutinho, Firmino, Mane;
Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Emre Can, Lallana;

Defense: Milner, Klavan, Matip, Klein;

Goalkeeper: Mignolet
What is more surprising is that Klopp did not let Lovren play, but chose Klavan and Matip to form a central defender partner. "

I don't quite understand Klopp's choice. In Zhang Jun's opinion, if Lovren is on the court, Manchester City's high-altitude shots will be restricted.

Choosing the faster Matip as the starter, is this a "magic move" arranged by Klopp?
The answer is hard to know.

Judging from the current situation, Liverpool, which lacks Henderson, has not been able to organize an effective offense for the time being, which forced Mane to choose to retreat.

Mane's retracement did not bring any effect to Liverpool. This situation made Klopp's face on the sidelines show a trace of dignity.

Time was ticking and Liverpool's attack could not threaten City's penalty area.

Mane receives another pass from Lallana.

Turning around and getting rid of it, Mane's movements are smooth and smooth. For him, Manchester City's full-backs are really average!
Facing Mane's "assault", Chrissy's footsteps were disrupted for the first time.

Seizing the opportunity, Mane swept with his right foot.

The ball quickly rolled to the middle on the grass.

A great opportunity looks to be in front of Liverpool.

But Manchester City players are not "cooked".

Otamendi took the first step to get stuck, and his clearance defuses Liverpool's offensive.

The only pity is that the ball is still under Liverpool's control, which means that Liverpool's next offensive is coming.

Seemingly realizing that Mane's side was having difficulty creating opportunities, Emre Can gave the ball to the left.

Coutinho stopped the ball with his left foot, his eyes were on Yaya Toure, and after noticing that the guy didn't go up, Coutinho's eyes were on the goal.

With a slight adjustment, Coutinho "sends" an arc with his right foot.

This sudden shot silenced the stadium briefly.

The opportunity was well grasped, but Liverpool was still far from scoring.

The ball eventually failed to appear within the range of the goal, Manchester City's goal kick.

For Liverpool, the conversion of the ball is about to begin to accept the "test".

The goal kick was thrown by Caballero and Manchester City's attack began to advance.

Their advance was exactly the same as in the previous game. The two sides quickly pulled to the side, and Li Feng in the middle stepped forward. Liverpool's defense was pulled apart for a while.

The changes on the field are naturally seen by the head coach on the sidelines.

For Klopp, there is almost no solution to the changes on the sidelines. All he can do is pin his hopes on Matip.

This relatively fast central defender with excellent confrontation ability can withstand the impact of Premier League rookie Li Feng, which is a key part of determining the direction of the normal game.

De Bruyne quickly noticed Li Feng's position as he advanced, and he did not miss Sane who was in the back.

For this reason, De Bruyne once again glanced at the situation of Liverpool's defense.

In the end, the brain of Manchester City announced the start of Manchester City's attack with his own pass.

The football flew from under his feet, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

This sudden pass caused a flash of surprise in Li Feng's eyes.

[This is not for me! 】

Li Feng looked at the passing of the ball and quickly made a judgment in his mind, but the movement of his feet did not stop.

Such a situation naturally attracted Matip's attention.

As Li Feng "stopped" his footsteps, a sound that was continuously elongated sounded from above the court.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

Sane's late shot helped Manchester City take the lead in rewriting the score on the field.

"De Bruyne's pass is really accurate, but Li Feng's feint is also good. He attracted Matip's attention, which made it easier for Sane to score goals."

"But Liverpool's full-backs were not as concentrated and that gave Sane a great opportunity."

As a die-hard Liverpool fan, Zhang Jun naturally hopes that Liverpool can win the game, but the situation on the spot has already fallen into a passive position for Liverpool.

If they want to take points away from the Etihad then they need someone to step up.

Or just look at who will make a "key" mistake on Manchester City's side!

Zhan Lu on the other side chose to interject at this moment.

"This goal, Li Feng can't count as a force. If Liverpool's wing can't play much role, then Manchester City may let Liverpool take a disastrous defeat and leave here!"

Less than three and 10 minutes into the game, Manchester City rewrote the score with a goal. For Liverpool, they need to get rid of the impact of conceding the goal as soon as possible, and strive to create momentum to equalize the score in the subsequent time.

It didn't take long to celebrate. For Manchester City players, this is the beginning of the game, and there is still a long time to come!

The game restarts.

Liverpool kick off again.

Firmino's running position after the kick-off attracted the attention of Fernandinho. These two are teammates of the Brazilian national team, so they all know each other's details.

With the change in the position of the midfielder, Liverpool's offense seems to be about to start.

Many "accidents" happened at this time.

Emre Can's forward pass was caught by Li Feng. As the pass was destroyed, Manchester City's counterattack started again.

The sudden reversal of circumstances caught the Manchester City players by surprise.

Fortunately, the Manchester City players responded quickly, and they quickly paved the way for Li Feng's advancement.

Faced with Erem Zhan, who "redempted his crime", Li Feng slowed down his pace.

The continuous pedaling of the bicycle and the realistic fake movements made Emre Can not dare to act rashly.

Li Feng noticed Emre Can's "little moves", and Li Feng, who was well versed in this, did not leave Emre Can too many performance opportunities.

After the change of direction, Emre Can could only watch as Li Feng dribbled the ball past him.

Li Feng, who broke through the defense, did not choose to shoot by himself. He noticed his "good teammate" at that moment.

The quality of the diagonal pass was good, and Sterling on the right got a chance to show himself.

It's a good opportunity to be given, but the "damn" finishing touch is really worrying.

The pie in front of him was sent to the stands by Sterling.

With such a result, even Sterling couldn't help but raise his forehead.

[The opportunity between offense and defense was seized by Li Feng. It is a pity that Li Feng chose to pass the ball. If he shot the goal himself, perhaps the goal would have been scored. 】

[Sterling, I really want to say something, brother, you should go, our temple is too small to accommodate a big family like you. 】

[Hey, this Sterling is really giving me a headache, but if Sterling's shot is a little higher, then Manchester City's situation will become fundamental. It's interesting. 】

【.】

The score on the field is temporarily fixed at 1-0. For Manchester City, they have the lead, so Liverpool need to be vigilant at this time.

Once they give Manchester City a chance, then in this game, Manchester City will have a better chance of taking all three points!

The game continues.

Liverpool's offense once again shared the ball from the two wingers.

Firmino, who retreated to catch the ball, made the ball himself, and Lallana, who plugged in, did not hesitate and shot with his foot.

The ball "goes straight" to the goal like a bullet out of the chamber.

The reacting goalkeeper Caballero didn't give a chance. He "flyed into the air", hit the ball with both fists, and the ball was taken by Stones.

Manchester City's counterattack was relatively fast, and the central defender turned around and dribbled the ball forward.

The England central defender noticed the opponent's movement, a spiritual "Marseille roundabout", Stones scored the ball, and Kevin De Bruyne, who retreated, got a chance to perform.

Turning around to get rid of the Liverpool midfielder's grab, this also announced that Manchester City's offense struck again.

Kevin De Bruyne and Sterling's collision with the wall once again tore apart Liverpool's defense.

Wijnaldum's "going forward" tried to block Kevin De Bruyne's breakthrough line, but De Bruyne still tore a hole with his own excellent dribbling.

The exquisite pass like a scalpel once again dismembered Liverpool's midfield defense.

Li Feng picked up Matip and responded lightly, and David Silva's chance to perform came.

Continuously getting rid of, David Silva's through kick made Liverpool's defense useless.

Sane swept across. Although Li Feng in the middle got the ball, he couldn't turn around immediately, which forced him to choose to pass back.

David Silva doesn't stop the ball and shoots straight to the goal.

The ball is saved out of bounds by Mignolet.

Looking at Manchester City's meticulous attack, Zhang Jun sighed helplessly.

"When David Silva puts the ball in, Sane can shoot, and the subsequent points are purely redundant."

"Although Li Feng grabbed the body, his shooting angle was blocked by Matip, so it is not a problem for him to choose to pass back."

Sane not confident?
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhan Lu's cloudy eyes.

Judging from the situation just now, Sane can indeed shoot first, as long as the ball is not hugged by Mignolet, then Manchester City has a chance to make up the ball!

Now that Manchester City has won the first corner kick of the game, for Liverpool, they need to take a good position and "seal" Manchester City's opportunity as much as possible.

It was David Silva who took the corner kick, the Spanish midfielder chose a very safe kick-off method.

De Bruyne received the ball, and he directly crossed it, which made Klein, who rushed forward, only watch the ball "spin" towards the penalty area.

In the confrontation in the restricted area, Li Feng felt the "oppression" of Matip, but it was only "oppression"!
Li Feng grabbed the position first. Relying on his outstanding lower body strength, he did not give Matip the time to "perform" himself.

A lion shook his head, and Li Feng headed the ball towards the goal.

The chance was really good, but this header failed to help Manchester City rewrite the score.

After the ball was confiscated, Li Feng got up from the grass.

With Liverpool kicking off, Manchester City quickly retreated to their position as the defensive side.

During this retracement process, the forward players led by Li Feng put enough pressure on Liverpool.

As Liverpool's advance was delayed, Manchester City's players in other positions also "returned" to their "positions".

Manchester City's defensive end once again stood firm, which made Liverpool's offense much more difficult again.

Wijnaldum sent a through pass forward, Coutinho took the ball in small steps, and he faced Yaya Toure again.

Without too many feints, Coutinho made a simple change of direction, and he shook Yaya Toure away.

The speed of the horizontal incision is not fast, which seems to be an opportunity for Stones to block the opponent.

But the shot after this rhythm change was seized by Coutinho.

The right foot "pushed" an arc straight to the goal, and it was a long-range shot. This has already formed a threat to Manchester City's goal. Now let's see if Manchester City can block this shot?

Caballero stretched his body in mid-air, and he once again blocked Coutinho's shot with his iron fist.

Otamendi in the penalty area took the lead to clear the ball.

Liverpool's offense fell apart again.

This situation made the wrinkles between Klopp's brows deeper again.

As the head coach of Liverpool, Klopp knows what they will face next, but before the game is over, Klopp will give up this game!
