131. Liverpool attack 2
Kompany walked towards Webber with the team flag, and Gerald came here later.
Looking at the smile on Kompany's face, Gerald felt a little uncomfortable. He admitted that he was a little jealous. He was jealous of Manchester City's possible victory in the Premier League now, and he has been struggling for so many years and is still far from the championship.
"Hi! Good luck, Steve!" After guessing, Kompany handed the Manchester City squad flag to Gerald.
"Good luck, Vincent!" Gerald handed out the team flag and said with a reluctant smile.
When he returned to his half, Gerald couldn't help but glance at Wen Sheng on the side of the coach's seat.
Wensheng was wearing a formal dress today, with a shirt and a wool coat on the outside, which looked very stylish, with a clean shaved beard and very energetic.
"Oh, will it be different if Wen comes to the team?!" Gerald had this idea long ago!
Is Rogers not good?! Gerald couldn't say it. He thought Rogers was also good, but the team was always not stable enough. Now it is more than 20 points away from Manchester City. The championship is a dream!
Gerrard was disappointed with Liverpool's current situation, but he was helpless. All he could do was to stay until the team no longer needed him.
"Even if this will be a disappointing season, I must not let Manchester City and Wensheng see our weakness!" Gerald shook his head, and suddenly became full of fighting spirit again.
......
"Fuck Liverpool guys!" Jock and Linton shouted loudly in the stands. In less than a minute of the game, De Bruyne received a pass from Aguero and shot from outside the right penalty area. The ball drew a wonderful arc and almost slapped into the corner of the Liverpool goal. The fans in the stands worked hard!
For Manchester City fans, Liverpool is just a mid-range team today. Only Suarez is enough to watch, and the others are rookies.
When Suarez and Van Dijk were seen fighting, "Stay at him, Virgil!" the fans shouted.
When Suarez fell to the ground, the fans booed, "Scammer!" "Dirty Uruguayan!"
Wensheng stood on the sidelines and put his hand in his pocket, watching the game without moving.
As usual, Manchester City always wants to control the game as much as possible and want to control the ball more. However, today it did not go very smoothly. Fortunately, it was smart enough on the backcourt control tactics. Instead, they redirected long passes to Dzeko from time to time.
Liverpool is not at the bottom. Manchester City's double midfielder tactics lack a top-level organizer. De Bruyne is close to the wing, giving Liverpool a chance to compete with Manchester City for the dominance of the midfield. Both sides are on the court, but the opportunities are not created much.
Both sides did a good job in interception in the midfield. Wensheng always let the team conduct tentative attacks carefully. Rodgers' characteristics on Liverpool are much more distinctive than Wensheng. He always tries to let his team control the football and then attack Manchester City's position. Unfortunately, Manchester City's interception is indeed extremely solid, and eight clean sheets are not in vain.
Wensheng always maintained an iron triangle posture in the middle and backcourt. Van Dijk, Kompany, and Barry came from the back to form a triangle. Dembele swam and maneuvered. When necessary, he could make breakthroughs in the middle with his excellent dribbler ability. On the side, the attack on the side was pressed together. If the full-back had the chance, he would run up without any scruples.
Compared with the usual style of playing, Wensheng focused more on making a fuss on the wing. One was to suppress the opponent's wing, and the other was to express great expectations for Costa's side. He hoped that Costa could defeat his opponent. As for the side of De Bruyne, he should support him in the middle when necessary.
After only ten minutes of the game, Costa, who had just joined the team, lacked some tacit understanding between his teammates, and he had few chances to get the ball and had no bright spots, which made Wen Sheng a little suspicious, "Isn't this kid not working anymore, right?"
There is actually not much difference between players like Costa who have strong blasting ability. As long as you are willing to give him the ball and freedom, he will definitely be able to surpass him. Of course, the crossing depends on the boy's mood. It looks the same as Zaha in the past, but Wensheng thinks Zaha and Costa have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Zaha has a body and is also fast, but her feet do not have the same feeling as Costa as she wants. Costa’s advantage is that her feet have strong explosive power in an instant, but physical confrontation will suffer a little.
In order to deal with Costa’s physical shortcomings, Wen Sheng asked the team to practice set-piece tactics specifically. Today, he said that Rogers should try the power of Manchester City’s set-piece!
In the 14th minute, Manchester City attacked the frontcourt in the position, and Liverpool players had already returned to the defense. Manchester City either made a cross or had to think of a small way to cooperate. At this time, Costa on the left received a pass from Dembele and started a personal performance. A fried croquette ball was scored by one person, and he really made a desperate move to the bottom line. However, this kid probably made a violent cross near the bottom line with the idea of letting the Liverpool defensive player make an own.
This kid is small and has a lot of strength under his feet. He almost let veteran Carragher block the ball into his goal. Carragher stretched out his legs and the ball just hit the post and flew out of the baseline.
"Look! See?! The Brazilian boy is so amazing. He has penetrated such a small space and no one else can do it!" Linton applauded Costa's praise.
Jock's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "This kid is really amazing!"
Fans applauded Costa for his extraordinary excitement, but Costa himself regretted his choice. He found that he might as well shoot directly.
Wensheng stood on the sidelines and applauded Costa, thinking that this kid finally moved. Rodgers must have expected that he would put the weight on Costa in today's game.
Rodgers is also a very diligent head coach. He spent a lot of effort on this game like Wen Sheng before the game. It is no exaggeration to say that he was preparing for this game before the fourth round of the FA Cup. Gerrard wanted to defeat Manchester City to prove that Liverpool was not as weak as expected. How could Rodgers be willing to lose to Wen Sheng?!
In the first leg, Liverpool lost to Manchester City 2:3 at home. Rodgers was not very discouraged. On the contrary, he felt that the team was able to score two goals in a passive situation, which shows the team's potential. After such a long period of running-in, he was looking forward to the arrival of the second leg and fighting with Wensheng!
Before this game, he collected a lot of situations, and everything about Manchester City, and the player characteristics were the focus of his collection. However, he knew the characteristics of Costa, but he did not think that Wen Sheng would let a new player play in such an important game.
