After Liverpool led two goals, Manchester City could no longer maintain calmness and calmness in their minds!
The so-called pre-match tactical plan should be implemented according to the rules before the situation does not meet expectations or is lower than expected. However, when the situation takes a sharp turn, it is definitely unrealistic to face the game according to the pre-match requirements and style of play.
Manchester City generals are about to say that they have an indifferent attitude towards Liverpool, which is a humiliation to their fighting spirit!
If you fall behind two goals, you can only fight hard!
No other choice!
When Manchester City began to actively mobilize the midfield and backcourt forces to launch a strong attack on Liverpool, Liverpool was mentally prepared.
The rhythm of the game is under their control, because they have been so familiar with this rhythm in the past two years. When their leading advantage forced their opponents to give it a try, it is the signal that they should strengthen their defense!
Manchester City's active counterattack suddenly made the game faster, and it did bring pressure and threat to Liverpool, which was determined by Manchester City's basic strength!
In the 36th minute of the game, Yaya Toure directly hit the front of the penalty area to receive Sterling's pass. He was blocked by Benatia while shooting and then the football changed direction and rolled out of the bottom line.
Manchester City corner kick.
Silva's corner kick fell to the left rib of the penalty area.
Kompani was originally targeted by Casemiro, but he went around to the back of the penalty area when Silva took a corner kick. Casemiro failed to keep up, and Van Dijk unexpectedly popped up after the jump. Kompani headed the ball and smashed the ball into the goal!
Ter Stegen had no time to make a save response!
After scoring the goal, Kompany rushed into the goal and held the ball in his arms and ran towards the middle circle.
The Manchester City captain still performed very well at critical moments!
"Kompani headed the ball! Manchester City scored a goal at home!
This goal will greatly boost Manchester City's morale and time is also good. At least they have failed to give Liverpool a two-goal lead for a longer period of time!
It seems that Manchester City needs to become more active in their playing style!
Now Manchester City is only one goal behind Liverpool!”
Pellegrini is quite excited about the team's goals, but it would be a deception to say that Manchester City is playing like this without any risk.
As for Yaya Toure's performance in the front of the opponent's penalty area, it is very eye-catching in the offense, but what about the defense?
How did Manchester City lose the second goal?
It's vivid in my mind!
Situ Yunbing was still calm and calm. He would never panic if he lost the ball!
Compared to when he was just starting out six years ago, he now has a strong aura of confidence on the sidelines. No matter how winds east, west, south and north are all the way, I will remain unmoved!
Besides, Liverpool is still leading, so there is no need to panic.
When Arsenal led three goals on the community shield, he might have been trembling six years ago, but now he is still as quiet as water!
This represents his growth and a manifestation of his maturity.
Situ Yunbing, who has written his name into the history of the Champions League, is the most popular coach in this era!
It is because others will fear him, not because he will be frightened by the turmoil!
After Liverpool re-telephoned, Manchester City hopes to take advantage of the victory to pursue!
In their opinion, the pre-match tactical plan can be swept into the trash can!
Perhaps Pellegrini wants to make Manchester City face Liverpool like Chelsea!
Manchester City beat Liverpool once last season, which was in the League Cup. At that time, Liverpool sent a substitute lineup. It can be said that that victory has no reference significance for Manchester City!
Chelsea defeated Liverpool in the league, ending the unbeaten golden body that Liverpool almost maintained its half-time unbeaten. At the same time, in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage, Chelsea challenged Liverpool for more than 70 minutes before Liverpool broke through the city gate!
Chelsea may seem unlikely to beat Liverpool in terms of results, but after carefully studying the game, you will know that Chelsea is the most promising team to beat Liverpool and bring Liverpool heavy damage.
At least that's the way of playing.
The teams that dared to fight against Liverpool all died miserably, and the final defeat of Real Madrid in the Champions League final last year is the best proof.
Manchester City draws on Chelsea, but it’s a bit like a swindling!
Pellegrini cannot do what Mourinho can do in order to improve his winning rate and ignore the negative comments from the outside world!
Manchester City's team can't completely obey Pellegrini's words.
The difference leads to the difference in effect.
It has been proved that Manchester City could not learn from Chelsea in the first 20 minutes. The players spontaneously counterattacked and scored goals. So they might as well play against Liverpool in a vigorous manner!
No matter how floods it is!
Just do it!
When Manchester City tried to continue to fight back against Liverpool, Liverpool used a tougher defense to suppress them!
In the 42nd minute of the game, when Yaya Toure assisted again, Silva was entangled by Kante and managed to control the ball and kick back and then passed the ball to find Yaya Toure. This time the pass was stable, but Yaya Toure ran over, causing Casemiro and defending Yaya Toure to press close together. The two of them fought for this opportunity again and needed to restart, and at the same time, they also affected each other's speed.
Van Dijk took the lead and when Yaya Toure used his body to block Casemiro was about to take the ball, Van Dijk took the lead and drove the ball forward!
This time, Manchester City's defense was exposed to Liverpool's fast attack firepower!
Van Dijk passed the ball directly to find Lewandowski who was retracting.
Fernando was close to the defense, and Lewandowski stretched out his kick and knocked the ball back directly. After the ball was released, he immediately turned around and inserted it forward.
Erikson followed up and sent a diagonal pass on the floor!
Gareth Bale quickly cut in and touched the ball, and vigorously drove the ball behind Krish. When Krish grabbed the ball and turned back to chase, Gareth Bale passed by him at an astonishing speed!
The speed of lightning made Manchester City's defense tremble!
When the Manchester City defender took the initiative to mark the defense and pounced towards Lewandowski in front of the goal, Gareth Bale knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area in front of the baseline!
Kompany and Demikelis had no time to grab it after the emergency stop.
What caught my eye was Coutinho following up, stopping and adjusting, and shooting angrily on the penalty area line!
The football goes straight to the lower right corner of the goal without any rotation!
Johart is almost broken!
Liverpool's shots are threatening. Although he has made some wonderful saves today, the effect of Liverpool's goalkeeper is to make the goalkeeper feel completely desperate!
After the football flew into the goal against the right post, Coutinho turned around and ran to the sidelines to celebrate!
Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium were helpless!
"Coutinho scored! He hit a dead end!
Assisted from Gareth Bale!
After Manchester City's front-court offense was intercepted, Liverpool's fast break took away their defense in one wave!
Destroy and destroy!
Manchester City is behind two goals again, and their forward line needs to perform stronger!
It can be said that Nasri is almost invisible today and has had two mistakes and was intercepted, but Pellegrini's men seem to have no better choice.
They need a winger like Gareth Bale, Bayern Munich's Ribery, Robben, etc., who have the strength to bring absolute pressure and threat to opponents' defense!
If the offense cannot pose a threat and more troops are needed to be mobilized from the midfield and backcourt, then Manchester City will take greater risks in defense!
Liverpool leads Manchester City 3:1!"
Pellegrini was in a panic, and Manchester City was a little confused by Liverpool at home!
They are exploring how to curb Liverpool, but wanting to suppress Liverpool, swinging back and forth between different ideas is the biggest problem!
Whether it is Mourinho, Guardiola, or Situ Yunbing, the top coaches in European football today, they have never been confused such as this. Ferguson and Wenger, including them, never worry about what to do, but since they have chosen the direction, they will definitely do it to the extreme!
The Manchester City players are also quite exhausted. Facing the powerful Liverpool, it may be the first time in these years that they feel confused and helpless!
At the just-rise stage, Manchester City can use the time it takes to comfort and inspire greater motivation when it loses.
However, the club has developed to this stage and is in a very mature overall context. It takes time to talk about it, so it is really a escapist.
They don’t need time, they need victory, record, honor, and championship, but they don’t need time anymore!
Just like Situ Yunbing’s request for Liverpool since last season, except for the championship, everything else is nonsense!
Manchester City is the same now, because you can't expect Kompany, Silva, and Aguero to make a qualitative leap compared to their current strength after one season, that's absolutely impossible!
They are already excellent!
The only problem is how to make these outstanding stars play their best in combat together, so the responsibility has come to Pellegrini again.
Because of this, both Manchester City players and coaches have some confusion in their minds. They can defeat many teams, but if they cannot conquer Liverpool's mountain, they will have a fate with the glorious champion!
Situ Yunbing applauded Coutinho's goal, and at the same time he was thinking about whether to light up the fire in the second half to stimulate Manchester City!
In the last few minutes of the first half, neither team made any achievements. After the referee blew the whistle and ended the first half, Pellegrini walked into the player channel with great worries.
Liverpool fans in the stands praised the team's performance in the first half with warm applause and cheers!
On the other hand, Manchester City fans were all worried, obviously very depressed.
In fact, when they ask their team where there is a problem, they can't see it, but if they can't beat them, they're not as good as others, that's all!
If you insist on finding a way to defeat Liverpool, where can Liverpool make sense?
The money has not been spent in vain in the past years, and the team is running well, and it is reasonable to become stronger. When Barcelona was in its prime, there were countless teams that were defeated by them, and they are still very strong!
Chapter completed!
