Only seven minutes had passed since the last goal, and Manchester City once again launched a strong attack on the right.
Relying on his personal ability, Sanchez dribbled the ball from the right wing and forced a breakthrough. He cut inward from the front of the penalty area and tried to contact Sudong. However, after being intercepted by Lucas who returned to defense in time, Sanchez was forced to pass the ball back to Tony Ke.
Ross.
After Toni Kroos got the ball, he seemed to be slowing down and reorganizing, but he suddenly made a long pass, transferred it laterally, and gave the ball to the left wing. At this time, Marcelo had already moved forward quickly and was on the left wing.
Stop the ball and drive straight in.
Until this moment, everyone knew that Toni Kroos was not slowing down, but was waiting for Marcelo to move forward.
After the Brazilian left back got the ball, he rushed along the left wing to the left side of the penalty area and completed a beautiful one-two with Di Maria. Marcelo crossed the ball near the baseline to the front point.
Su Dong blocked the position with his body and blocked Skrtel behind him. After stopping the ball with his left foot, he knocked behind him with his heel.
David Silva quickly stepped in behind Sudong and Skrtel, stopped Sudong's pass, and hit the far corner, giving Manchester City another victory!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!!!"
"Man City scored again!!!"
"It's still an assist from Su Dong!"
"This time it's David Silva who attacks!"
Manchester City players once again rushed off the field to celebrate the goal.
Su Dong also went straight to catch up with David Silva and stretched out his hand to touch his head vigorously, smiling from ear to ear.
Other Manchester City players also caught up and surrounded the two.
"Manchester City's current attack is very active. The left and right wings are posing threats back and forth, making Liverpool's defense difficult to guard against. Sudong is a key node in the team's offense. He can not only score goals by himself, but also create opportunities for his teammates.
If there is a chance, this is the scariest thing about him."
"Tonight, he has already given two assists."
"Hodgson should reflect on his tactics tonight. At least before the game, he vowed that he was full of confidence in the team's ability to freeze Su Dong. However, judging from the game process, this is not the case at all."
"Neither Skrtel, nor Carragher, nor Agger, could restrain Su Dong, and even the defense of Manchester City's two wings was not ideal. Di Maria and Marcelo's left
The right wing of Sanchez was very active."
"After conceding two goals in less than ten minutes, Liverpool should really reflect on it."

"Toni Kroos is really a talent!"
In the home team's coaching booth, Guardiola praised with a smile.
From the scoring process just now, he thought of many interesting offensive routines and many possibilities. He decided to try it in the following training or games to further enrich Manchester City's offense and organization.
.
"His long passes are very threatening and quite accurate. Su Dong is right, he is a rare midfielder." Manchester City's chief assistant coach Torrent also nodded with a smile.
When Guardiola came to Manchester City, he only brought four assistants, all of whom were close friends of Guardiola or partners who had worked closely with him during his time at Barcelona. They all understood Guardiola’s tactical intentions very well. Domenech
·Torrent is one of them, and he is Guardiola's right-hand man. He is best at game analysis.
"The goal just now, apart from Su Dong's brilliant back heel, is also very important because of Toni Kroos' long pass. His long pass is not only accurate, but also very fast. With the cooperation of Marcelo and Dimari
This side of Asia is quite threatening." Torrent analyzed.
"The reality is that with such a player with excellent long-passing ability, the offensive methods will be much richer. At this point, the report Su Dong gave us was very strategic." Another assistant
Coach Estiarte, the former Olympic water polo champion, admired Su Dong even more.
Of course, Bayern executives and head coach Heynckes are aware of the characteristics and potential of Toni Kroos, so Heynckes desperately wants to prevent Bayern from selling Toni Kroos. But on the one hand, the players want to leave.
On the other hand, Bayern's senior management also considers the problem from a higher level.
For example, Bayern really can't promise Toni Kroos the starting position because the status of Modric and Bastian Schweinsteiger is unshakable, so they are forced to choose to sell Toni Kroos.
"Karls, later you can edit a video of Toni Kroos' pass and send it to me," Guardiola warned.
Video analyst Carles Planchart raised his hand to show he heard it.
He is also an old partner who has worked with Guardiola for many years.
The last of the four assistants is Lorenzo Buenaventura, a physical coach from Real Madrid. He also specially tailored a summer training plan for Manchester City, with the purpose of fully improving the running ability of Manchester City players.
Judging from the first two rounds of the league, the running of Manchester City players has obviously improved a lot.
After explaining everything, Guardiola returned his attention to the court.
After the game restarted, Manchester City still controlled the situation on the field.
"Two assists, Su Dong should start preparing to score goals!" Guardiola said with anticipation.
He knew Su Dong very well.
This guy is not only a picky Virgo, but also has a stronger competitive spirit than anyone else. He cannot accept the reality that he is not as good as Drogba no matter what, so he will catch up and he will let all the media and media who question him
The fans are completely disappointed.
Guardiola has never doubted that Su Dong can score tonight. There is only one suspense.
How many goals can he score tonight?
…………
…………
After all, Hodgson is the head coach who led the team to the Europa League final, and Liverpool's defense has been trained by Benitez for many years. If the Red Army unites its thinking and concentrates on defense, there is really no way to break through Manchester City's offense.
Break through.
After helping the team score two goals in a row, Su Dong began to try to score goals himself.
Of course, if given the opportunity, he will still help his teammates score goals.
But it sounds a bit evil.
After taking a two-goal lead, Liverpool paid more attention to defense, but Manchester City's offense was always just a little bit behind.
It's not that Su Dong didn't get the chance, but he was always a little bit close.
For example, in the fourteenth minute, David Silva sent a through ball. Su Dong broke into the penalty area and hit the goal. As a result, it hit the outside of the post and went directly out of the baseline.
Then he had another long shot, which missed slightly.
The most threatening thing was in the 30th minute. After Micah Richards sent a cross from the right, Su Dong stopped the ball at the penalty spot, dunked past Lucas and Carragher, and then kicked the ball.
The goal was only to be saved by Reina from the bottom line.
Two minutes later, Su Dong kicked again and was saved by Agger.
Manchester City was almost overwhelming Liverpool, but the Red Army resisted Manchester City's attack and even launched several threatening counterattacks.
Torres was obviously not in his best condition. Several counterattacks reached his feet, but failed to create a threat. The only time was before the end of the first half, when Torres tried to break through Pepe, but was knocked to the ground by Pepe.
Fortunately, he passed the ball to Gerrard first.
After the Liverpool captain got the ball, he took a long shot and missed it slightly.
This shot also ended the first half of the game.
Gerrard was so angry that he yelled on the spot, obviously very depressed about the situation in the first half.
Torres hung his head, obviously very dissatisfied with his state.
No one knows whether Torres is aware of his physical condition. Perhaps he just feels that his body has not been adjusted to its optimal condition due to long-term injuries.
As for whether he can get back to his best physical condition, who knows?
…………
…………
Returning to the locker room with a two-goal lead, every Manchester City player was in high spirits.
Su Dong didn't feel sorry for missing consecutive opportunities in the first half, because those few opportunities were actually not very good.
Being able to score goals reflects Su Dong's strength, but not being able to score goals is considered a normal phenomenon.
However, the trouble is, Liverpool's defense is really tight.
Although Sudong only played under Benitez for one year, it was in this year that Valencia won La Liga and the Champions League.
What impressed Su Dong most was Benitez's rigorous tactical system. He even threatened that if he was given eleven robots, he would be able to win all the games.
This is definitely not false talk!
From 2004 to 2010, Benitez coached Liverpool for six years. The team's offense has always been unsatisfactory. It only improved slightly after the arrival of Torres, but they were able to achieve excellent results.
The results depend entirely on their solid defense.
Xavi Alonso's departure from the team has certainly dealt a blow to their organization, but their defensive level has not declined significantly.
Even though they ranked seventh in the league last season, Liverpool's number of goals conceded was only inferior to Chelsea and Manchester United, ranking third in the Premier League. It can be imagined how strong the Red Army's defensive strength is.
Guardiola was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but also pointed out this problem.
"We didn't pull the Liverpool defense enough. I hope you all keep in mind that our passing is more to pull the opponent's defensive players. It is best to make them leave their defense zone and create holes in the defense."
Guardiola's possession of the ball has never been to pass the threatening ball, but to pull the opponent's players.
As long as you pull the opponent's players enough, you can make the opponent's defense lose order, and loopholes will naturally appear.
The next step is how to exploit the vulnerability.
The strategy given by Guardiola is that the two wings should be more active in the second half, and the large-scale transfers on the left and right wings can be more frequent, creating more scoring opportunities for Su Dong in the center.
"I look forward to seeing a hearty victory tonight!" Guardiola said excitedly.
It can be said that his performance in the first round of the league and the first half tonight gave him strong self-confidence.
This is something Manchester City failed to do last season.
