When the fourth official on the sidelines announced the substitution, Su Dong on the court was slightly surprised.
At the sixty-minute mark, Dalglish finally couldn't sit still.
At this time, the center forward Carroll was replaced and the deep-lying midfielder Spearing was replaced. This clearly meant that he wanted to strengthen the offense.
Dalglish probably didn't want to bet all his chips at the end, so he decided to make substitutions early.
Su Dong looked at Carroll on the sidelines and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Guardiola.
Guardiola has obviously noticed Carroll's movements for a long time and is discussing with Torrent and Estiarte. He should be assessing the current situation of the team, especially the physical condition of some players.
If the physical fitness of Manchester City players can cope with it, Guardiola probably does not want to make substitutions.
After noticing Su Dong's gaze, Guardiola gestured towards him, telling him to slow down for the time being and not rush to attack.
Su Dong understood what Guardiola meant and immediately called Pepe and Kompany, telling them to pay more attention.
After Carroll comes on the field, he must be at the forefront and serve as the team's center. Suarez is likely to roam on the wings and sides of Carroll, while Bellamy and Downing have become two full-backs.
In other words, Liverpool will change back to the 4-4-2 formation, and the team's playing style will also change accordingly.
According to the recent study of Liverpool's tactics by the Manchester City coaching staff, after Carroll comes on the field, Liverpool will use more 45-degree diagonal passes and underpasses, and will also play more long passes on counterattacks, directly going to Carlo.
Well, this is a typical British tactic, and it is also the tactic that Dalglish is best at.
After coaching Liverpool, everyone has seen clearly that King Dalglish has been away from first-line coaching for a long time. His skills and tactics can no longer keep up with the current trends in European football, but he still plays the retro British tactics.
Very good at it.
Therefore, Liverpool's defense this season is quite well organized.
Manchester City now wants to use Pepe and Kompany to restrict Carroll. Let's first see how Liverpool will react after the substitution. While stabilizing their position, they will also try to attack Liverpool's defensive loopholes.
After Gerrard and Henderson partner in the middle of the midfield, Liverpool's midfield defense will be a problem.
Especially when Gerrard often has to push forward to suppress Busquets.
…………

The game restarts.
Manchester City is still playing the game steadily and at its own pace, but Liverpool has increased its pressing intensity in the midfield and frontcourt, especially after grabbing the ball, they actively pass the ball to the frontcourt and launch a counterattack.
Pepe and Kompany have been the strongest central defender combination in the Premier League in the past two seasons. The physical fitness and defensive strength of the two central defenders are quite excellent. Even if they are in good form recently, Carroll is in front of them.
, it’s hard to get any benefits.
But Pepe and Kompany also found it difficult to deal with this English high center forward.
At this time, Suarez seized the opportunity.
In the 67th minute, after Liverpool made a quick attack into the frontcourt, Bellamy got the ball on the left, passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and handed it to Suarez who was in charge.
After the Uruguayan forward got the ball, he used his skills to flexibly pass Busquets who was guarding him. He suddenly took off with his right foot and kicked a long shot straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
This shot was very sudden, with a very tricky angle and very secretive. Fortunately, goalkeeper Courtois reacted quickly and made a side dive, barely saving the ball. The ball missed the left post and went out of the baseline.
The entire Wembley Stadium screamed in surprise.
Suarez's shooting skills are indeed beautiful!
"Courtois was fully focused and performed very well. He saved Suarez's goal that went straight into the corner. It also allowed us to see Liverpool's offensive transformation after the substitution."
"Liverpool is not chasing Carroll blindly, but allows Suarez to become a role similar to a free agent. He seizes the opportunity and kicks directly. The shot is very sudden. This shot is quite scoring.
Su Dong’s style of hitting a blind spot.”
The TV commentator's praise did not reach the stadium, but players on both sides were startled by Suarez's sudden kick. Su Dong even repeatedly called on his teammates on the defense to be careful about Suarez.
Liverpool benefited from this wave of attacks.
Just three minutes later, Downing picked up the ball from the wing and hoisted the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Carroll blocked Pepe with his body, stopped the ball with his chest first, and shot back. Henderson quickly stepped back.
Plug it in and take a long shot directly.
The football slipped slightly out of the door.
Wembley Stadium once again erupted into bursts of exclamations.
With two consecutive shots, Liverpool's offense has improved significantly compared to before, and it seems that there is hope for equalizing the score.
But just when everyone is looking forward to Liverpool being able to create more opportunities with the help of Carroll's high point in the frontcourt, Manchester City is quietly brewing an offensive.
In the 73rd minute, Liverpool once again attacked the outside of Manchester City's penalty area, but this time the pass was snatched by Pepe and passed by Carroll, who headed the ball to David Silva in front.
After David Silva stopped the ball, he turned around and drove laterally to the center. He suddenly accelerated and got rid of Liverpool midfielder Henderson, drove the ball forward, and sent a through ball to Su Dong.
Almost at the moment David Silva passed the ball, Sudong ran right between Skrtel and Daniel Agger.
When the ball flew toward Su Dong, Su Dong turned slightly sideways at the front of the penalty area to block Daniel Agger behind him. He stopped the ball directly in front of him, then immediately turned around and blocked Scott with his shoulder.
Tel.
The whole action was very coherent and done in one go. It didn't give Skrtel and Daniel Agger any time to react, and even the fans who were watching couldn't react immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! By the time everyone noticed, Su Dong had turned around, caught up with the ball, and was already in the penalty area.
Skrtel caught up with Su Dong immediately, and Reina on the goal line also ran towards the left side of the goal immediately. Su Dong, after catching up with the ball, first took a direct kick.
After a fake move, he suddenly kicked a ground ball with his left foot.
The ball passed under Skrtel's raised crotch, stuck close to the turf, and slid diagonally from the left side of the goal to the lower right corner of the goal.
Reina reacted the fastest and jumped directly to the right side of the goal. However, Su Dong's kick was too tricky. He went straight to Reina's blind corner and hit the right side of the goal from the inside of the right post.
lower corner.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!!!"
"In the 73rd minute, in the 73rd minute, Su Dong scored twice and scored twice for Manchester City in Liverpool's goal!"
Su Dong rushed out of the court excitedly, waving his arms all the way, but was quickly chased by his teammates behind him and surrounded him in the corner kick area.
"This goal is very crucial."
"When Liverpool's offense has just begun to pick up, Manchester City's goal to score again without conceding a goal will definitely greatly damage Liverpool's morale, and at the same time boost Manchester City's morale."
"Su Dong once again explained to us what it means to be a superstar!"
"Looking at this shot again, it was also a blind corner, very tricky, and Su Dong was more patient in handling it. Before taking the shot, there was a little move to confuse the opponent, which made it impossible for Reina to understand Su Dong in time.
His intention was to take the ball directly from Skrtel’s crotch to the goal.”
"We were just saying that Suarez's shot went towards a blind corner, and so did Su Dong's shot. Even Su Dong's shot was more difficult than Suarez's, but no matter the angle or the intensity,
In terms of mastery, or the creation and grasp of timing, Su Dong is clearly superior to Suarez."
"This is Su Dong!"
…………
…………
The moment he saw Su Dong score, Guardiola jumped with excitement, even more excited than when he scored the first goal, because he knew that this goal basically established Liverpool's advantage.
And, it's a very exciting shot.
From stopping the ball and turning around, to the fake move, and then to the final shot, the whole process was done in one go, showing Su Dong's super personal ability, as well as his master-level magnanimity and style.
It's hard to guard against a ball like this.
Dalglish shouted in surprise and raised his head to look at the sky. He shook his head in frustration and raised his hands in the air, feeling a little at a loss.
Ever since the team conceded the first goal, he has been on tenterhooks and worried about conceding the second goal.
When changing people, he was determined to take a gamble.
After Carroll came on, Liverpool's surprise tactics did work. Suarez was alive, and Liverpool's offense was also alive, but he, the Liverpool players, and even the fans in the stands were all looking forward to it.
When Liverpool scored to equalize the score, Su Dong scored.
This is Su Dong!
This is a superstar!
The more critical this moment is, the more he can show his importance.
Dalglish immediately walked to the sidelines, comforted the players on the field, and signaled to the Liverpool players that they should stay still.
Now is not the time to act on impulse. Against Manchester City, we must not lose our minds and must not be chaotic.
If there is chaos now, then Manchester City will work hard to take away Liverpool.
Two goals behind, Liverpool's hope of reversal is very slim, but there is still a little bit of hope.
No matter what, Liverpool will fight until the last minute.
There was even a faint voice in Dalglish's heart telling him that this game had been lost. When Su Dong scored the second goal, Liverpool had already lost. The only thing he could do now was to let
The loss between myself and Liverpool was not so ugly.
He was extremely reluctant to admit this, but he had to accept it.
Thinking of this, Dalglish let out a heavy breath, turned and walked towards the coaching bench, with helplessness and exhaustion in his eyes.
He is really, really tired!
He found that he could no longer keep up with this era!
