Football’s First Defender

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to threaten the attack and beat the Manchester City defense line in a jittery manner, and forced the Manchester City defense line to retract back.

Defend first, then look for opportunities to attack.

At home, Manchester City, after retreating the defense, Liverpool, more easily control the initiative in the midfield, in terms of physical consumption, much less than before.

Since the second half of the game, Liverpool has been in control of the game, occupying the advantage of possession and playing with Manchester City.

And limited by Liverpool's threatening offensive influence in the early stage, it is understandable that Manchester City retreated in defense.

Then he went back and wanted to attack again, and the Manchester City players found it was not that simple.

The average age of the Liverpool team is quite young, almost all young talents, although the average age of Manchester City players is not too big, but compared with Liverpool, it is still much older.

Young players may not have the rich experience of veterans and not enough game experience, but they have plenty of physical fitness and a more vigorous fighting spirit.

Liverpool had an advantage in the first half of the second half, which directly inspired the "small universe" of the players in the team, allowing every player to adjust their competitive state to the best.

When the Manchester City players escaped the "lime" of Liverpool's fierce attack and wanted to return to the midfield to fight for the ball with Liverpool.

The Manchester City players on the field suddenly realized that this Liverpool team was different from the Liverpool team in the first half.

With Liverpool players more active, more desperate, and more reasonable running, the Liverpool players who played in the state did not give Manchester City players too many opportunities to get the ball.

The high position in the front court, Liverpool did a very good job, directly making Manchester City even a decent opportunity to organize an attack difficult.

Manchester City players cannot go through the organization of the midfield, especially the absolute offensive brain of the team's frontcourt. When David Silva was firmly put to death by Lucas, Manchester City's simple wing play was emphasized by Liverpool. Against, it is difficult to have a threatening attack opportunity.

Not only is the positional offense not good, but even after Manchester City successfully defended, it is not easy to fight back.

The sudden outbreak of Liverpool's frontcourt and pressure made Manchester City's counterattack only through long passes from the backcourt.

And this kind of monotonous counterattack situation, for Yang Feng, is his foundation in Europe.

Yang Feng's career started with the most "monotonous" counterattack situation like defense.

Manchester City's long pass from the backcourt fell into Liverpool's half-court, and it was often mud bulls entering the sea, and there was no chance to make a few waves.

Yang Feng and Scotter, the two of them have completed the destruction of most Manchester City long passes, especially the tacit understanding of the two in private training, so that sometimes Yang Feng can use the "crypto" that they are familiar with, and inform them as quickly as possible. Go to the location of the defense zone that Scottel is responsible for.

From the 60th minute to the 75th minute of the game, overall Liverpool's attack, facing Manchester City's recovery defense, did not play a very good attack opportunity.

And Manchester City's counterattack and attempted attack were also suppressed from the source by Liverpool.

The two sides "grew up smoothly" for 15 minutes, and the final battle is about to begin in the last 15 minutes.

For Manchester City, replacing Negredo with Dzeko and Nasri with Milner, all hoping to use the impact of the new offensive players to break Liverpool's defense.

On the bench with Manchester City, there are a lot of talents that can be rotated, and Rogers's cards are still extremely limited.

Only in the 72nd minute, Moses replaced the exhausted Coutinho after running at full strength.

The final decisive battle between the two sides is about to start.

As soon as Dzeko came on the court, he threatened Liverpool's goal with a lob shot from outside the penalty area.

Fortunately, Mignolet reacted quickly enough, backed up and jumped, single-handedly supporting Dzeko's shot, and did not let Dzeko make a contribution as soon as he played.

However, Dzeko's shot was the best chance for Manchester City to attack in the second half.

Liverpool showed what it means to be a youth storm, and what it means to be young people going crazy you can't afford it.

The lack of physical fitness that many people imagined did not appear. As the time of the game passed, the Liverpool players maintained their running speed as always, maintained the intensity of the high position in the center and the front, and let Manchester City expect the final stage of counterattack. , There is no chance to take shape.

Moses made a forcibly breakthrough pass from the left, and Suarez in the center followed up with the header and missed...

Henderson started a long shot from the outside, Joe Hart struggled to block, the second landing was cleared by Kompany...

Sterling made an inverted triangle back pass from the right, Joe Allen, who followed up from the outside, shot wide...

Liverpool can always launch a threatening attack every other way, but Manchester City, in addition to defense or defense.

The offense cannot be attacked, and there is no threat to counterattack.

Throughout the second half, it was more like Liverpool sitting at Anfield, rather than Manchester City at their own Devil's home court.

The Manchester City fans were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that a team that could play against Bayern could not be attacked even if they were suppressed by Liverpool.

"When was Liverpool so strong?"

This is the question of many people.

However, the advantage of not scoring is that Liverpool now has the opportunity to create the second half, but it really can't be converted into a field goal. This is the most embarrassing thing.

Liverpool, who performed extremely well in the second half, faced the strong and unusual defense line of Manchester City at home and fought a tough battle.

Although Manchester City can't play offense, but the long-term performance on the defensive end is definitely remarkable.

There are not many opportunities left for Liverpool, and Liverpool has not grasped the limited opportunities.

Liverpool’s most threatening offense in the second half was definitely the offensive caused by Liverpool’s wing in the 83rd minute of the game ~www.readwn.com~.

After Coutinho and Suarez’s previous attack in turn, Sabaletta’s physical energy was already huge, and then facing off the bench, Moses, who is physically strong and very good at taking advantage of his physical advantages, is on the side of Sabaletta. Became the biggest loophole in Manchester City's defense.

Even with the help of other Manchester City players, it is not guaranteed to be able to defend every time.

In an unsuccessful attempt by Manchester City to attack, Liverpool had fewer chances to play in the front court.

Moses received the ball from Suarez and ran directly on the left. The one who could also keep up with Moses was on the right, in a horizontal position, accelerating Sterling.

Moses drove the ball away from Sabaletta's defense, and after entering the penalty area, he passed the ball directly to the far end while moving.

At Rogers' request, Moses "learned" to pass, at least not dare to disobey Rogers' tactics.

This pass passed in front of the three Manchester City players, all due to their own speed problems, did not run into place, only Sterling, who has a strong ability to accelerate, ran to the landing position at the back point and directly shot the empty goal.

"At that moment, I caught up with the pass, and the half-empty goal was right in front of my eyes. I thought I would definitely be able to score. As a result..."

After the game, Sterling and Yang Feng confided in their hearts, complaining that they had not grasped the perfect opportunity for the goal.

The fact is that Sterling’s “soft feet” problem reappeared at a critical moment. He kicked the ball directly with a foot pad and missed Liverpool’s best scoring opportunity.

The final score of the game was 1 to 1, and Liverpool had the advantage in the second half, but in the absence of Sturridge, the ability to turn into a dangerous shot was too weak, did not tear the opponent’s defense line, and could only be taken away from the away field. A draw.
