Liverpool took the initiative in the start, Wensheng did not expect it, and Rodgers did not expect it either.

Rodgers believes that at least Manchester City's midfield control does not look weak at all on paper, and he must admit that he is stronger than Liverpool, but the situation on the court now undoubtedly shows that Manchester City players are not in the form.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rodgers hopes that Liverpool can seize this opportunity and it is best to score a goal.

But Liverpool didn't shoot much. They shot very quickly and always went to Suare and Sterling if they had the chance. However, Manchester City's defense on the wing was quite successful. Zabaleta was in very good shape, and Sterling didn't take advantage at all.

Liverpool can rely on Suarez. Liverpool has not had a few shots in the first ten minutes, but only completed three times. Except for the first shot, Suarez was not of high quality.

In the eleventh minute, something unlucky happened. Lucas strained his muscles while defending De Bruyne. There was no way, so Rogers had to replace Lucas with the young player Shelvey, so that Gerald moved to the back midfielder, and then Shelvey replaced his previous position.

After Rogers made this substitution, Wen Sheng immediately conveyed instructions to the team, asking the team to press the formation up, and instructed Mello and the others to strengthen the pressing of Shelvey.

Shelvey's appearance has greatly reduced Liverpool's midfield interception ability, and Shelvey's passing accuracy is relatively good, but his personal pace is slow.

Lucas' injury became a turning point, and Manchester City began to gradually regain their disadvantages on the court, and their possession rate increased, and they also gradually created some opportunities.

The game was a bit boring overall. After more than twenty minutes, neither side's offense had many highlights, and there was no mistake in the relative defense.

Manchester City players have gradually realized that Wensheng is right, and Liverpool is indeed a difficult bone to crack.

"Statuate the rhythm!" Wen Sheng clapped his hands to greet his players. In this situation, he hopes that the team can control the ball steadily and slowly put pressure on the opponent, trying to push Sterling and Bolini back to Liverpool's halftime, and then threaten the opponent through the middle of the side.

Liverpool is no longer able to control the ball, so they can only allow Manchester City to advance in the first place.

Rodgers had completely expected this situation. He knew that as long as the Manchester City midfielder recovered, Liverpool would find it difficult to control the ball, so Liverpool had quietly changed its offensive strategy, and the meaning of defensive counterattack was very obvious.

"Manchester City has gradually controlled the form on the court. Dzeko's condition is not very good in this game. It has not played its due role under the close control of Scotter and Coates." Sky Sports' commentator Lee Dixon was not very satisfied with Dzeko's performance.

Wen Sheng touched his chin and thought quietly. Manchester City's aerial offense was greatly hindered. The reason was that Dzeko was not in good condition and had a relatively low success rate for the top.

Just when Wensheng was still thinking about countermeasures, an emergency occurred.

In the 34th minute, Liverpool intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. Sterling finally seized the few opportunities to pass two Manchester City players on the left side, directly burning the battle to Manchester City's halftime. Sterling cut inside the bottom and crossed the middle. Kompany flew and padded the ball with his foot, barely cleared the ball out of the baseline.

Gerald sent a corner kick, Scotter ran, and Melo from Scotter could not stop the opponent's impact, allowing Scotter to easily score.

Liverpool, who played at home, led Manchester City 1:0, and Rodgers jumped up excitedly on the sidelines.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh..." Anfield Stadium was filled with cheers.

Manchester City players were as stupid as a chicken. Scotter's goal was too unreasonable. The root cause of the problem was that Manchester City himself caused. First of all, Melo was not close to the target, and then Van Dijk also made a mistake in judging the landing point in the middle, which was equivalent to Manchester City's hand-in-hand dropping the ball to Liverpool.

Scotter's goal is not difficult at all.

...

"Wori! Can you get such a ball?!" Ren Xing couldn't help but complain in the fan group, "What is Van Dijk doing?!"

"Yes, Liverpool scored too easily!" Some fans immediately followed.

"Manchester City is probably going to lose this game!"

"Little Lingdang, if you die of Manchester United, you are so unconfident in Wen Shengli?!" Shushan Guard complained.

"I don't have confidence in Wen Shengli, I don't have confidence in Manchester City!"

"That's different?!"

"How can this be the same?!"

"Two guys, are we discussing football or listening to you two talk crosstalk?!"

This is the kind of virtue on the Internet. Although everyone is old acquaintances, they often start to quarrel when watching football. If the topic is opened, it is probably thousands of miles away from the topic.

Only then did the Manchester City players remember what Wen Sheng said before the game, "It is possible that we are behind!"

At this time, Wen Sheng's voice sounded again in his ears, "Shut up! Stay calm! Don't worry!"

The players quickly woke up with Wen Sheng's encouragement. After kicking off again, they still played steadily, did not rush to equalize the score, and always insisted on controlling the ball. On the other hand, Liverpool, they wanted to climax after scoring the goal. It was this mentality that allowed Manchester City to use their gap in the backcourt to create one or two threats.

Liverpool players quickly gave up pressing at high positions. Rodgers hoarded heavy troops in the midfield to restrict Manchester City's midfield advancement, and for a moment, both sides were in a stalemate again.

More than ten minutes later, Kane finally blew the whistle and Liverpool temporarily led Manchester City 1:0 at home.

Wen Sheng had already recorded several problems with the team in his small notebook, and had found a solution to the problem during the half-time break. It was too late to adjust the time on the spot, and midfielder Wen Sheng decided to plan the team's tactics in the second half.

"Everyone, how do you feel?!" One goal behind, and most of the responsibility for this goal was caused by his own mistake. Manchester City players thought Wen Sheng would turn on the hair dryer. Who knew that Wen Sheng had a teasing smile on his face when he asked this.

"Actually, it's really no big deal to fall behind one goal. I always believe that we can equalize the score and even overtake the score. This will not be a big problem!" The players didn't say anything, and Wen Sheng had to ask and answer.

"The most important thing now is that we must understand how we can do in the second half to recover our disadvantages and get points from this devil's home court!" Wen Sheng dragged over to the tactical blackboard and began to explain the tactics on it.
