1431 Reversal
He shook his head and headed the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Hart jumped to save but failed to touch the football. He turned his head in horror and saw the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the goal post. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Suarez folded his hands together and shook his chest, looking up at the sky with helpless expression.
It's only a little while before the end of the first half!
Unfortunately, on the football field, it is often as close as far as the world is.
At the end of the first half, Liverpool entered the locker room with a 2-1 lead, and most importantly, they achieved a score reversal against Manchester City, which is very important to morale.
Back in the locker room, Koeman praised the team's performance in the first half, and then emphasized that he would play a little cautiously in the second half.
He wants to see what posture Manchester City will take when they are behind in the score.
If the entire army was pressing against the fierce attack, Koeman wanted to exchange the lowest consumption for the most brilliant victory.
Because three days later, Liverpool still has a League Cup to play, and this season pays attention to the local cup matches. In addition, the opponent in the quarter-finals is Chelsea, Koeman must consider this factor.
The game is coming to the second half, and the two sides change sides and fight again.
Manchester City did not attack hard, they were patiently creating offensives, while Liverpool put huge defensive pressure on them in the midfield and backcourt.
Because Milner dared not participate in the offense excessively and was afraid that he would not be able to defend against Qin Xiong when he was attacked by Liverpool, it would be difficult for him to exert his power on the right attack.
Nasri on the other side was trapped in the encirclement of Liverpool's crazy midfield and backcourt, and it was difficult to play a role.
Mancini frowned when he watched on the sidelines.
He is going to make a substitution.
In the 54th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly made a fast attack.
Qin Xiong retreated and received Kuyt's pass and shot with one shot!
He directly transferred the ball to Raul's feet in a medium-length transmission.
After receiving the ball from the right in front of the penalty area, Raul immediately played a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Suarez. After rushing past Barry's defense, Raul came to the penalty area. With a cold shot, Hart's scalp numb. In the flash, the football flying towards the lower left corner of the goal was blocked by Hart, but he did not hold it firmly. This time, Kompany came to the football before Suarez to clear the ball.
Liverpool took a corner kick, and Qin Xiong headed the ball in front of the penalty area but pushed the ball out of the baseline.
At this time, Manchester City made a substitution.
Mancini replaced Balotelli.
The person who was replaced was Nasri. He was a little unhappy, but he did not make irrational actions.
After Balotelli came on the court, Manchester City's offense became more brutal and simple.
They never dared to invest too much force on the offensive end, worried that Liverpool's unique fast attack blitzkrieg would shatter all hopes of equalizing the score.
Liverpool is easy to deal with. The simpler and rougher the attack, the more unable to shake their goal. At least in the strong dialogue, this is true. On the contrary, when confronting the middle and lower-level teams, due to too much force investing in the tough battle, the midfield and backcourt are empty, and the simpler and violent attacks are the opponent, they often make mistakes in dealing with it.
In the 65th minute of the game, something that completely shattered Manchester City's hope of equalizing the score happened!
