"Sky TV, Sky TV, all viewers in front of the TV, I am now at Wembley Stadium in London, broadcasting live for you, the 2011-2012 season, the FA Cup final, Manchester City vs.
Liverpool game."
"With the live TV footage, you can see that at this moment, there is still some time before the game starts, but Wembley Stadium is already full, and the stands are packed with people."
"According to the information we received from the stadium before the game, tonight's game not only attracted the attention of the whole UK, but also attracted the attention of fans all over the world. Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 people, except for a small deduction
The seats outside the mobile seats are already full of fans and guests."
"Everyone can follow the camera to see this grand event. This is definitely a very rare scene. Nearly 90,000 people gathered in this stadium at the same time. What a spectacular scene it is!"
"Now, both teams are in the locker room preparing to play, and we have already obtained the lineups of the two teams in advance. Let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams tonight."
"The first is Liverpool. Head coach Dalglish has arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation. This is a formation that Benitez used more often when he was coaching Liverpool. It is characterized by stability, especially in the midfield, with five
With two players and a numerical advantage, the double midfielders can ensure the stability of the team's defense."
"The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Enrique, Daniel Agger, Skrtel and Glen Johnson, the double midfielders are Spearing and Henderson, and the captain Gerrard and Bellamy are in front.
, Suarez and Downing form a trident."
"It should be said that this is Liverpool's standard configuration, and Dalglish is relatively stable."
"It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's defensive level ranks third in the Premier League this season, second only to Manchester City and Manchester United. This is a very outstanding result. I believe Dalglish will still perform tonight.
We should use this advantage of ours instead of continuing to compete head-on with Manchester City."
"After all, Manchester City has a top scorer like Su Dong in the team, and his recent form is also very good."
"Back to Manchester City, we see that the goalkeeper is Courtois, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Kompany and Zabaleta from left to right, and the midfielder is Busquets.
David Silva and Toni Kroos are up front, and in front is the combination of Hazard, Sudong and Sanchez."
"One surprising thing is that Di Maria was replaced by Hazard. This is a very obvious signal that Manchester City needs to strengthen the ball control in the midfield and frontcourt, because Hazard's passing and ball control ability is better.
He is better, and his ability to break through with the ball is also stronger. He is one of the players with the most players in the Premier League this season."
"Judging from Guardiola's formation, Manchester City still adheres to their own style of play and has not made adjustments according to Liverpool. This is also in line with Guardiola's consistent characteristics."
"The person that Manchester City relies on the most is their captain, Su Dong."
"In the last Premier League make-up match, Su Dong played for 65 minutes and scored five goals. This was his 52nd Premier League goal this season, and his scoring efficiency ranked highest in European football.
Tan, it can be said, is very efficient and also a very offensive scorer."
"The best defense in the Premier League meets the strongest offense in the Premier League. I wonder if Liverpool's defense can bring us surprises and surprises. We even look forward to them being able to freeze Su Dong."

While the Sky TV commentators were warming up for the upcoming live broadcast, the players of both teams were making final preparations in the locker rooms. Among them, Liverpool's pre-game preparations had the most solemn atmosphere.
This is not surprising, because it is difficult for any team to take it easy when facing an opponent like Manchester City.
Dalglish did not repeatedly emphasize the things that should be paid attention to in the game, because what should be said has been told before, and now he does not need to say anything more. I believe the players themselves know it well.
But he noticed the disappointment on Andy Carroll's face.
Dalglish made the decision to introduce this high-end England forward, who had high hopes for him. However, after joining, Carroll's performance was not satisfactory and even somewhat disappointing.
In the second half of this season, Carroll's condition has made a very obvious recovery, which makes everyone at Liverpool full of expectations for him, hoping that he and Suarez can form a strike partner.
One is tall and the other is flexible. Isn't this a typical English double forward combination?
But for this game, Dalglish chose Bellamy.
The reason was explained to Carroll and other players in the locker room before the game. He hoped to use Bellamy's speed and experience because he believed that this game would be a counterattack for Liverpool. Bellamy
The role will be greater than Carroll's.
Of course, he also promised that in the second half of the game, when Manchester City's physical fitness declines, Liverpool will try to launch a fierce attack. At that time, Carroll will be arranged to come on as a substitute and play a surprise role, catching Manchester City off guard.
Bellamy once played for Manchester City, but his style was not liked by Guardiola and he was forced to leave. Now he comes to Liverpool and represents the Red Army against his old club in the Champions League final. Bellamy is more motivated than anyone else.
.
Not to mention Suarez, the Uruguayan striker is ambitious and not easily satisfied. His target is none other than Manchester City's Sudong. Naturally, he will spare no effort to help Liverpool win.
"As I said before, after the opening, be cautious, cautious, and no matter how cautious you are, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious."
Dalglish gave his final instructions before the game, "As long as we stabilize our position and defend well, it will definitely not be easy for Manchester City to break our goal."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Regarding this, Dalglish and the Liverpool players are full of confidence.
The defense that ranks third in the Premier League does not come out of thin air, but relies on the players working on it bit by bit on the court.
"We must defend well and counterattack when we have the opportunity. Our midfielder cannot compete with Manchester City. Pass penetration is not our specialty, so we must pass through the midfield as quickly as possible, reduce ground balls, and directly counterattack with long passes." Dagli
Shi said eloquently.
Liverpool's midfield is notoriously lacking in creativity. Even with Gerrard and Henderson in charge, the creativity of these two players can only be considered good even among English midfielders, let alone with
The top midfield passers in Europe such as David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets are compared.
This is why everyone concludes that Liverpool will definitely adopt defensive tactics, because they have no midfielder at all.
If you don't defend, do you have to rely on long passes to compete with Manchester City?
If this is the case, Liverpool will only lose worse than Norwich.
"Finally, I want to say that when facing Manchester City, we should not have any thoughts of saving our strength, not even the slightest thought, because even the slightest slack will cause us to make mistakes under the high pressure of our opponents."
When Dalglish said this, he looked at the players solemnly.
"Remember, guys, you are about to face not only the strongest team in the Premier League, but also the strongest team in Europe and even the world, especially since they also have the greatest and most terrifying team in the history of world football.
The most complete attacker.”
"Don't give Su Dong any chance!" Dalglish said sternly.

If the atmosphere in Liverpool's locker room before the game is solemn, then the atmosphere in Manchester City's locker room before the game is relatively relaxed.
But everyone is still a little nervous and takes this game very seriously.
We have the Premier League, we have the League Cup, and if we win the FA Cup, it will be the Triple Crown. Winning the Double Crown for two consecutive seasons is definitely exciting, not just because of the generous
Prize money, and player honors.
More importantly, there is a Champions League final next, and the opponent is Chelsea, a Premier League team that is also good at defense.
Regardless of the fact that Chelsea's goals conceded in the Premier League are not as good as Liverpool's, in fact, in the Champions League, Chelsea does not lose to Liverpool in terms of defensive level or ability to fight tough battles, and is even worse.
If Liverpool can't get over this hurdle, what else can Manchester City do to defeat Chelsea?
Guardiola only made some arrangements and instructions for Liverpool's lineup, but what should be said was basically what was said before the game, and Liverpool's lineup did not exceed the expectations of the Manchester City coaching staff.
They are all in the same league, so they really have no secrets from each other, and they can't come up with any surprise tactics.
Dalglish's strategy is obviously to defend and counterattack, and let Andy Carroll, who has been in good form recently, act as a surprise attack.
Liverpool's lineup is not rich, and Dalglish can't do many tricks, that's basically it.
The only big suspense is whether he wants to rush at the beginning?
Or would he have made up his mind to defend it from the beginning?
In the final, Manchester City's strategy was also cautious and sought a stable start.
First seize possession of the ball, keep the game in the rhythm that Manchester City is most familiar with and like best, and then slowly defeat the opponent.
Manchester City is already very familiar with this process, and the players themselves know it well without the head coach saying anything.
Even at the end, when captain Su Dong stood up and conducted the final mobilization before the game, Su Dong also said that he actually had nothing to say, "Because I believe that every one of you here feels the same as me at this moment.
, we all have only one goal, a common goal, which is to bring this championship trophy back to Manchester after the game."
"I believe, and you must also believe, that we have the strength to achieve this goal, and the premise is that it requires each of us to go all out on the court, and we need to unite and move in the same direction.
"
"Tonight, there are 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. This should be the largest game in the English league, and we will use this game to tell the whole UK and the world that we, Manchester City, are going to be the best in the Premier League.
king!"
"Okay!!!" The players responded enthusiastically and cheered in unison.
