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

In the preseason, Li Feng didn't have much performance time.

However, Foden on the bench fully demonstrated his talent, which also means that the competition for Manchester City's wingers has become fierce.

The winger positions include Mahrez, Sane, Sterling, Foden, David Silva and so on.

Although David Silva can be relegated to midfield, he can be another option on the wing.

Same goes for Bernardo Silva.

Therefore, in the coming new season, competition in various positions in Manchester City will be extremely fierce.

Just when everyone thought that Manchester City had a promising future, a "bad news" happened. Laporte was injured and was expected to be absent for a month. This was a big blow to the team.

Although the position of the central defender is topped by Stones, new vital forces still need to be added to the bench.

As the eldest brother of the team's front line, Li Feng also saw the strength of his teammates on the bench. I have to say that they are capable, but they must be able to steal the starting lineup from Li Feng.

The answer is obvious.

Judging from the current situation, Manchester City is still one of the favorites this season.

Real Madrid has lost its glory in the Champions League and is now in a situation where the heroes are competing for hegemony. Any team that wants to compete for the Champions League championship will have the opportunity to realize its "dream."

In the early days of the league, which was also the eve of the closing of the transfer market, the Bundesliga giants spent "huge sums of money" to buy Sane.

Such a transfer request is irresistible to Sane, just like some players cannot refuse the "call" from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In the end, before the transfer market closed, Bayern took away Sane, which was a considerable income for Manchester City.

This makes it easier for Manchester City to do accounting!
Sane's departure is a big loss for Manchester City's forward line, but the loss of the forward line also gives Guardiola a new choice - to support outstanding youth training players to play.

This is a long-term development strategy for a club.

There are many young people who have emerged, but few have been promoted to the first team.

The only thing that is certain is that Foden will become an important part of the team's rotation.

As the league begins, Manchester City's performance in the domestic league is very solid.

An 11-game unbeaten run at the start of the season proved that Manchester City's state is really stable.

Liverpool, who have won the Champions League, cannot be underestimated. They are temporarily ahead of Manchester City by 2 points.

And this strong matchup also means that one team will "fall behind", it depends on who will be the one who falls behind.

Sitting at home against the visiting Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp is very clear about his team's advantage, which is to use running to tear apart Manchester City's defense.

But there is one person that Liverpool cannot solve for the time being, and that is Li Feng.

Although Van Dijk can be called the best central defender at this stage, Klopp does not believe that Van Dijk can handle the opponent against that "beast" guy.

From a speed perspective, Van Dijk is not weak, and can even be said to be very strong. Coupled with his excellent physical fitness, there is no problem in competing head-on with the Premier League's top strikers.

But Li Feng is a different kind. His all-round attributes are stronger than Harry Kane, especially his speed!
Once Li Feng is given the space to sprint, then for any opponent, they will encounter unprecedented pressure.

With a bit more luck, they may give Manchester City a chance to set the ball.

But even if the set piece is given, is this still far from conceding the ball?

Coupled with Manchester City's reinforcements this summer, they will inevitably update their set-piece tactics, so this game is bound to be a fierce battle!
At the pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp naturally became another focus of attention.

"Jurgen, you are currently ahead of your opponent Manchester City. What do you think is the chance of winning this home game?"

Predicting victory?

Jurgen Klopp did not answer directly, his answer was very official.

This did not exceed the reporter's expectations. After all, the current Premier League is really a two-man game between Manchester City and Liverpool.

As for the other members of BIG6, their current situation is not optimistic, or they have a lot of problems at this stage. Once they are not handled well, it is very likely that the locker room will "explode" directly.

The next few questions made Klopp look to the future.

A Champions League championship did not go to Klopp's head. He is very aware that cup competitions such as the Champions League are highly uncertain. In addition, the team he coaches is in the Premier League. What they need to do is to make the most of it as much as possible. The team has the ability to fight on multiple fronts.

And this season is the beginning.

Judging from the current situation, Liverpool's state is very stable, and they are almost in an unbeaten position in the previous games.

Now this league is the strongest opponent they will face at present, and also the most direct competitor on the road to the league championship-Manchester City led by Guardiola.

"Welcome to the highlight of the 12th round of the Premier League - Liverpool faces visiting Manchester City at Anfield Stadium. I am the commentator Yu Miao (Wang Kun)."

"This is the most critical game in BIG6. This game will almost affect this year's Premier League championship. Judging from the current situation, Liverpool is in a leading situation. If any team wins, they will temporarily Get first place in the league."

"From the perspective of the team's direct strength, both sides are at the same level. Personally, I prefer that Manchester City will be in an undefeated situation."

As soon as Yu Miao finished speaking, the barrage in the live broadcast room began to flood the screen.

【Please shut up! Shut up! 】

[Please explain to someone more knowledgeable and don’t make blind analysis here! 】

[This guy is starting to "boom", Manchester City is in danger! 】

【.】

When Wang Kun heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

As Yu Miao's partner, he naturally knows the "skill" of Yu Miao's mouth. Many times, his analysis is serious and sounds "correct".

But the final results are unsatisfactory.

Now he believes that Manchester City will be in an unbeaten situation, and it seems that Manchester City is likely to lose this game.

"Ahem, you mean you think Manchester City will escape unscathed?"

"Yes, Manchester City has a complete lineup at this stage, and they are the most favorable contenders for the league title."

Yu Miao did not "aware" of what she was saying.

But for those loyal Manchester City fans, they really feel the pressure.

A mysterious force from the East!

I wonder if they can withstand the "invasion" of this force.

Here we also introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

Liverpool, who played at home, chose the 433 formation, which was their winning formation.

The goalkeeper is Brazilian international Alisson Becker;
Right back: Alexander-Arnold, center backs Lovren and Van Dijk, left back: Robertson;
Midfielder: Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum
Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane;
There was no change in the selection, because Matip was injured, so Van Dijk's partner was temporarily changed to Lovren.

What this "heavy" central defender represents is strength. What Klopp needs to pay attention to in this game is Lovren's turn. Judging from previous games, Li Feng likes to "hide" behind defensive players at this stage. blind spot.

Li Feng's choice also caused the defender to invest a lot of energy in defense, which is not good news for Liverpool.

Therefore, Van Dyke's task in this game is particularly heavy!
Guardiola also chose a 433 formation to respond.

Striker: Sterling, Li Feng, Bernardo Silva

Midfielder: David Silva, Rodri Hernandez, Kevin De Bruyne

Defenders: Theo Hernandez, Fernandinho, Stones, Kyle Walker Goalkeeper: Bravo!

The more troublesome thing is the injury of Edson Moraes, which also led to Guardiola having to use the second goal-Bravo.

Guardiola feels a headache when he thinks about this guy's poor performance in the Premier League.

The game started, and Manchester City took the lead in getting the chance to attack.

The ball moved forward bit by bit under the control of the midfielder headed by Kevin De Bruyne.

Li Feng, who is in the 9th position, is constantly observing the attention of Liverpool's defensive players.

After all, in Li Feng's view, opportunities are fleeting. Once he notices his teammates passing the ball, there is really not much time left for Li Feng.

The position is still "hiding" in Van Dyke's blind spot, which is very beneficial to the offense.

But Li Feng knew that Van Dijk's quick turn, coupled with his strong physical talent, would be a huge adjustment for him even if he got a chance to shoot.

Li Feng noticed Bernardo Silva's retracement, which meant that the ball would be launched from the right.

Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva worked well together as they ripped apart Liverpool's left defense.

"Kevin De Bruyne's through ball, Bernardo Silva's cross, is this an opportunity for Manchester City?"

"Li Feng in the middle was the first to get stuck, and Van Dijk was stuck behind him."

"Left pad cum!"

"ALISON!!!!!"

Yu Miao elongated her tone. This time the attack on Manchester City was handled quite beautifully, and the cooperation on the right side made Robertson a little bit uncomfortable.

Coupled with the fact that Van Dijk was dragged in the middle by Li Feng, for Robertson, he urgently needed the help of his teammates.

And now there is only one left who can help him-Winaldum.

Manchester City's corner kick, Manchester City playing away from home is ready.

Everything is ready and waiting for De Bruyne's precise pass.

Kevin De Bruyne takes the corner kick.

Li Feng, who was fighting for the top of the penalty area, made a "lost step". He pushed away Van Dyke and took the lead to get around to the forward point.

The speed is not too fast, which gives Van Dyke a chance to perform!
Li Feng, who took off first, noticed Van Dyke.

That burly body is a big distraction to Li Feng, but how can a player who aims to compete for the championship be intimidated by such a confrontation!
Feeling the force from his back, Li Feng caught a glimpse of Van Dyke who was already falling from the corner of his eye. Li Feng believed that he would win this confrontation.

"Excellent staying in the air, Li Feng has not yet fallen, he swings his head to attack the goal!"

"The ball went over the bar, Liverpool's goal kick."

The opportunity was really good, but unfortunately it failed to hit in the end. For Manchester City, the opportunity was indeed a pity.

The game restarts.

Manchester City's previous offense had threatened Liverpool, which made the players on the field fearful.

But the game is not over yet. Who will win depends on who can take the lead in changing the score in the remaining time.

Alisson Becker chose to adjust the team's offensive rhythm by throwing the ball.

Compared with Bravo, who is "old", Alisson is a goalkeeper at his peak.

Liverpool's offense was adjusted by Alisson, and they controlled their own offensive rhythm.

Salah chose to cooperate with Firmino, and their advancement quickly threatened the Manchester City penalty area. At this time, the Manchester City players smelled the crisis.

Continuously cycling, Salah dunked past Theo Hernandez and shot from a small angle.

"GOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

"That's it?"

Yu Miao still couldn't believe it.

From a personal perspective, Yu Miao believed that it was normal for Bravo to miss the shot.

But the result was really unexpected.

Less than 15 minutes into the game, Manchester City conceded the goal.

The ball was lost so suddenly, but for Liverpool, they are ahead, and they have a great chance to defend their home court again!

Bravo's save made Guardiola on the sidelines shake his head helplessly.

Logically speaking, Bravo is not old and he is considered a goalkeeper at his peak.

But his performance on the court is really unbearable.

The game restarts.

Li Feng kicked off the ball from the center line.

Five minutes have passed and the ball is still at Manchester City's feet. Their offensive organization is very stable and there is no sign of hurry. This is in line with Guardiola's coaching style.

From God's point of view, Li Feng can always stay in a very "dangerous" area, which is a test of Liverpool's defense capabilities.

With Bernardo Silva once again teaming up with Kevin De Bruyne, Li Feng is ready.

"Brilliant wall play, Kevin De Bruyne cross."

"The ball was very fast. Li Feng got the position again and shot with his left foot."

"Is there no foul on the ball?"

Yu Miao's tone was full of surprise. Judging from the situation just now, Li Feng was dragged directly to the ground by Van Dijk. This was a foul, a foul in the penalty area.

Everyone watching the ball must know what a foul in the penalty area means.

But what is surprising is that the referee did not stop the game, he signaled the game to continue.

This is not a friendly penalty for Manchester City.

Li Feng, who was sitting there, squinted his eyes and glanced at the referee who was enforcing the law. He did not speak, but his face was extremely gloomy.

On the other side, Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City's failure to retreat in time, and they were ready to expand the score again.

The ball came to Salah's feet again, and the Egyptian "Pharaoh" began his "show".

Continuously cycling, Salah swayed his shoulders and deceived Theo Hernandez.

Salah didn't hesitate, he shot directly.

It's not a wise choice, but the effect is really good.

Bravo finally proved that he still has some effect.

"Liverpool's corner!"
