I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 329 Manchester City is in action

Firmino's shot amazed many neutral fans watching the game.

On the Internet, many Liverpool fans in the bar took this opportunity to brag to others about Liverpool's current strength!
Firmino is one of the three stars of the Red Army this season. He doesn't score many goals, but he is a supporting center with excellent ability to support and create opportunities. And just now he broke through the door of European hegemon Manchester City!

Firmino has indeed shone brightly this season.

After a troubled career in the Premier League last season, the Brazilian forward finally reached the peak of his career.

However, Firmino is strong, but compared with Zhao Jinge, he is still far behind, and even compared with Harry Kane of Tottenham, he is far behind.

Just like this league match against Manchester City at this moment.

If Firmino can pull one back, Liverpool fans will be very happy and excited, and they can applaud the hard work of their players at Anfield.

But if you want to say that because of this ball you have the confidence to beat Manchester City at Anfield, that can only be called a foolish dream!
Defeating Manchester City, even the most ardent Liverpool fans only dare to have a trace of fantasy hidden in their hearts!
This is no longer a matter of realism, it is simply magic!
The best situation for Liverpool in this game may be to get one point and guarantee that they will not lose their gold at their home court. That would be a good result!

They are still one goal away from this goal.

But will Manchester City let Liverpool get their wish?
When Guardiola didn't say a word after the referee blew the halftime whistle, and quickly returned to the tunnel first, all the fans watching the game knew that Manchester City's talented coach was against I am not very satisfied with the trend of the game.

No matter how the two teams adjust next, one thing is certain, that is, Manchester City will increase their offensive!

Firmino's goal in the first half made Guardiola's on-the-spot management look a bit conservative.

And Guardiola, who has always known his mistakes and can correct them, should not fall into the same pit twice.

Klopp's tactical arrangement gave Manchester City a surprise, but there will not be too many such backhands, and Manchester City, who are prepared, will not give Liverpool such an opportunity again.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, not only the players of the two teams will increase their efforts to fight on the court, but the head coaches of both sides will also further engage in tactical games.

If Klopp wants to score points, he must come up with more things to defeat the weak.

Regardless of whether he has a trump card or not, Guardiola must consider everything comprehensively and even make tactical predictions.

It's a pity that it's not popular to shoot locker room documentaries now, otherwise fans will be able to glimpse the game performance of the coaching teams on both sides of the game later.

In reality, no one knows what kind of tactical thinking adjustments the two teams have accepted in the locker room.

The fans just took a break, not even enough time to take a nap.

Maybe after chatting with friends for a while, I found that the players from both sides had already jogged back to the playing field in the afternoon light.

After the game restarted, before Liverpool had time to grab the start, Manchester City had already launched a ferocious offensive.

This time it is not a tentative offensive routine, but a real full-scale attack by Manchester City!
If we say that when Manchester City played both wings before, they simply wanted to penetrate Liverpool's wing defense.

Now Manchester City's wave after wave of forward pressing offensive is to compress the whole and rub Liverpool's midfield and back defense!
The introduction of the full-backs and the input of the two midfielders allowed Manchester City's three forwards to receive sufficient support.

And Guardiola is not afraid of being hit by Liverpool's quick counterattack.

Because he has already made a tactical response!

"Blocking them at all levels, pressing them at all levels, intercepting them from high positions, and running them to death without any hesitation of physical strength!
When a long pass comes over, he immediately blocks his position and destroys it. If it doesn't work, he fouls Firmino, Coutinho, and that Salah!
We have three substitutions!
So don't tie your hands and feet. If you get a yellow card, you will end up in the game! "

Guardiola's serious words seemed to still ring in the ears of the Manchester City players.

The head coach has said so anyway, so they have nothing to worry about. They can just have a real fight with Liverpool and be done with it!
When it comes to the current investment in defensive pressing, Manchester City is not necessarily worse than Atletico Madrid last season!
Now there are no shortcomings in the lineup, the thinking from top to bottom is unified, and Manchester City's generals are full of confidence.

As soon as the cards of quick attack and high-pressure defense were played, Manchester City instantly overwhelmed Liverpool!
Under such a suppressive offensive and defensive rhythm, unless Liverpool uses the same crazy running to fight against Atletico Madrid like Manchester City last season, then they have to pray that the forwards at the front can catch a few times. The opportunity gave Manchester City a heavy blow.

At that time, Manchester City relied on a stronger player lineup, more physical fitness, a united and tenacious will, plus the unstoppable Zhao Jinge, to survive the danger from Atletico Madrid!

And now your Liverpool lineup is not dominant, and if you can't keep up with the running, why do you want to achieve the same results as Manchester City last season?
When Klopp was faced with a decision, he finally gritted his teeth and followed up. He had set off a youth storm in the Hornets. He started by pressing high positions and disrupting the game. How could he challenge Guardio in this field that he is good at? Lower your head!
A score of [-] to [-] is not enough for Liverpool to settle. Faced with the temptation to equalize and score points, Klopp can only fight, and Liverpool's players can only fight!
Wijnaldum and Henderson are of the right age, so it doesn't matter if they try to run as much as they can. The average age of Liverpool's entire midfielder and frontcourt is also not very old.

In the defense, Milner is about to turn 30. Matip and Lovren are also at their peak physical fitness, not to mention the young player Alexander-Arnold!
These young and hard-working players are the key to whether Liverpool can achieve its goal today.

After all, physical fitness is different from willpower. No matter how hard you push, you have to follow scientific laws. If you have no physical fitness, you have no physical fitness.

However, Klopp has no better cards than Guardiola.

Once these players cannot support themselves and have to leave the game, except for the midfield position, the players who come in other positions will be a bit inferior in strength.

The Liverpool fans obviously knew this too, and they all looked anxiously at the frontcourt at this moment.

It is now clear that Manchester City is going to fight a war of attrition.

The physical fitness of their players is the best in the Premier League and even the best in European football clubs, and they have the capital to play this tactic.

But Liverpool didn't, so now it's up to Firmino, Coutinho and Salah.

One more goal, as long as one more goal is scored and the score is equalized, Liverpool can sit on the bus with peace of mind!
Manchester City's forward pressing attack also gave Liverpool a chance.

At least there are more opportunities than when the two teams are fighting normally.

"There is only one way for Liverpool! Manchester City gave a chance. If Firmino can seize it again, he will become Liverpool's superhero today!

On Manchester City's side, they were unwilling to continue playing conservative football just for the sake of this one-goal advantage. Guardiola also made the most confident tactical adjustments!
I think all fans will be happy to see such a scene at this moment!The showdown between Zhao and the Liverpool attack group continues!The war is still going on! "

The commentator on the scene shouted out the aspirations of countless Premier League fans at this moment.

This kind of tactical game and full-strength confrontation between players is worthy of the name of the Premier League focus game!
The situation is tense and exciting. The current three goals are not particularly many, but all of them are very exciting.

There are players' personal outbursts, there are blood-thumping speed hurricanes, and there are lone heroes' Jedi outbursts!

If Liverpool can equalize the score later, the drama will be full!
Many neutral fans will subconsciously side with Liverpool.

Just like before, they supported Manchester City to defeat the traditional powers of the Premier League.

Winning the strong with the weak is always the scene that fans like to see most.

Manchester City now sits on the throne of the Premier League hegemony, so they can only accept this reduction in support.

But the situation on the court does not change with the support of the fans.

Liverpool's resistance was tenacious, but their formation was still overwhelmed by Manchester City.

A contracted fist will be more powerful when punched, but blindly bearing the blow is not the answer. Liverpool is always looking for offensive opportunities while defending.

Coutinho and Henderson relied on their personal abilities to send several long passes forward. Salah and Firmino relied on their speed and skills to create some opportunities on the wing.

But Manchester City's defense has become more resolute. When it's time to foul, it's time to foul. When it's time to double-team, it's time to double-team. In one sentence, it's neat!
These Liverpool frontcourt players did not take any advantage in the offense.

Liverpool's several counterattacks failed. On the other hand, the jerseys and shorts of its three forwards were covered with grass clippings and mud stains.

Sturridge, who has returned from a serious injury this season, can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the other two forwards. Firmino and Salah, who are younger and healthier, are also out of breath at this time.

The continuous attacks were unfavorable, and they were running back and forth. Even as young as them, they were a little unable to bear it at this time and needed to take a breather!
In addition, even if a foul by a Manchester City player gave the Liverpool players a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, facing Manchester City, which was fully prepared to defend the set piece, the Liverpool players could only do nothing. return!

The Red Army's attack was easily stopped by Blue Moon. Manchester City's rapid attack actually did not achieve any results.

Even Blue Moon has taken seven shots from the beginning of the second half to now!
Among them, there were four shots that hit the goal frame, but they just couldn't knock Liverpool's goal again!

Liverpool relied on their passionate defensive tenacity to hold on to the score gap, which made many Manchester City players secretly anxious.

"Don't worry! We are the one with the advantage now!
Give me the ball before you have a good chance!

The more anxious you are, the more focused the opponent will be, stretch their defense more, and stand farther away! "

Zhao Jinge sees the performance of his teammates. As the core of the team's offense, at this time, he must stand up and guide his teammates.

Then a familiar voice rang in the ears of Manchester City's frontcourt players, and it was Zhao Jinge who reminded them loudly in the frontcourt.

The noise at the scene forced Zhao Jinge to shout at the top of his lungs, which sounded extremely serious, but in fact they were words to remind his teammates to be calmer.

Following Zhao Jinge's timely reminder, Mane and Mahrez, who were a little anxious just now, also reacted.

The more they play, the closer they get to the center. The starting point of the attack is almost crowded together, and the width of the field cannot be used. How can they tear apart Liverpool's defense? !

"Don't mess around! Just call me when you need it!
I'll take care of it!start running!start running!

They simply can't keep up with our pace, so pick up the speed again! "

Zhao Jinge clapped his hands and shouted loudly, and he did the same thing himself.

After expanding his running range, his stable support in the third zone of Liverpool's defense made Manchester City's ball transfer in the frontcourt more stable and smooth again. It added a large-scale stable connection point, which directly revitalized Manchester City's offense. .

Seeing this situation, De Bruyne secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The current teacher Ding does not have the leadership temperament he will have in the future, and he is not as comfortable on the court as he will be in the future!
Now that Zhao Jinge helps him constantly remind his teammates, his organizational work has become much easier.

This kind of communication on the court is absolutely indispensable. It is not a beating, but more like a mutual reminder between players.

After all, the team's tactics require everyone on the court to execute them!
With Zhao Jinge's clear-headed voice, Manchester City's offensive looked like a slight pause to the fans at the scene.

De Bruyne and Mahrez spent a few more minutes sorting out the frontcourt attack.

Coupled with Zhao Jinge's physical running and support, Manchester City's passing and cutting cooperation was much smoother than in the previous few minutes.

It seems that everything is back under Manchester City's control.

Their quick passing and cutting made Liverpool's backcourt defense have to deflect the center of gravity.

After all, Manchester City's front three are a huge threat. The three of them together are worth over [-] million. Although Zhao Jinge alone accounts for more than half of it, Liverpool really dare not attack any of them. The Manchester City striker harbors contempt.

After all, neither Mane nor Mahrez is easy to mess with!
Before, Manchester City themselves were a little anxious, but Liverpool's midfielders and backfielders were able to cope with it defensively.

But now Manchester City has calmed down the impetuous desire to end the game in a short time, coupled with the ingenious cooperation between several of Manchester City's top forwards.

Several Liverpool defenders felt the pressure increase sharply, and Liverpool's defense, which could barely handle it, instantly became shaky!
