football dynasty

Before the start of the game, the two sides walked near the middle circle. The first time they did not spread out their positions, but formed a circle to mourn Gary Speed, who had just passed away.

Gary Speed ​​is a former Welsh football player who served as a midfielder. He made his debut at Leeds United during his player period, and later played for Everton and served as the team captain.Sheffield United Football Club, who played for the British Championship at the end of the player, also served as the coach. He is known as the "fossil of a generation" of the Premier League.

After retiring in 2010, he became the head coach of the Welsh national team, but on November 2011, 11, the day of today's game, he was found to have hanged himself at home and died.

And his suicide is generally considered to be due to too much work pressure, so he chose to use this method to end his life and work.

In addition to mourning, players from both sides also wore black gauze.

But all this does not prevent the competition between the two sides is extremely fierce.

Just as the media commented before the game - "This is a duel like a medieval knight charging!"

We all know that it is difficult for the Cavaliers to make defensive actions when they are moving at high speed, so they will do their best to stab the opponent first and use offense to win defense.

This game is a "offense is the best defense" game.

…………

As soon as the game started, Manchester City formed a siege to Liverpool's half.

It has to be said that after a season of running-in, Mancini has at least created an offensive frontcourt with extraordinary attack power.

Aguero headed forward, and behind him were Nasri and David Silva on the wings. Their small cooperation played very slippery.

Forcing Liverpool's defensive pressure is very high. For this reason, defenders often have no time to break off the football and counterattack immediately. They can only choose to continue to destroy or clear the siege immediately.

In the 6th minute, David Silva passed the ball to the penalty area, and Aguero got in like a loach. Although Papastathopoulos barely got the football before Aguero, he knew very well I don't have time to stop the ball at all.Because Aguero will fight back on the spot at the first time, he dare not take risks in this position, and can only kick the football out of the baseline at the first time. Although this will give Manchester City a corner kick, it is at least the safest way.

…………

"Liverpool's defense is still their Achilles' heel. It's the 6th minute of the game, but whether it is from the data or the situation on the field, Manchester City is mainly against the guest at Anfield. Before the game, Levi's defeated Mancini said There are a lot of arrogant words, but now it seems that Mancini really has the capital to be arrogant, and he can get rid of his shame at Anfield!" Martin Taylor, who was in charge of the game commentary, was a little helpless.

Although he prefers Li Wei, he has to say that from the current point of view of this game, Liverpool is more or less ominous.

…………

Nasri took the corner kick, and Compagny jumped high in the penalty area, overpowering the immature Varane.It's just that he was influenced by Varane after all, and it was difficult to hit the right position, but Kompany's header was very good, he didn't choose to force the goal, and the header flicked to the back point.

Aguero has a good sense of smell and grabs the first spot.

But Neuer was also dissatisfied with his reaction, not to mention that he is a goalkeeper who can use his hands. Before Aguero's header, he smashed the football out of the penalty area with a single punch.

Manchester City's offense did not die because of this. They rushed towards Liverpool's gate wave after wave like waves until they broke Liverpool.

Yaya Toure faced Neuer's kicked football from outside the penalty area and volleyed directly. The football was very powerful and flew out towards the goal.

Many Liverpool fans at the scene let out a burst of exclamation.

Especially the Liverpool fans behind the goal, they already have the illusion of losing the ball.

"Clang!" With a deafening bang, the football hit the top of the crossbeam, and then flew up to the stands.

The Manchester City players looked at the crossbar with regret, and the goal almost went in!With the speed and power of Yaya Toure's shot just now, it is impossible for Neuer to block this shot that looks like a flying fairy.

Neuer clapped his hands angrily and yelled at the Liverpool players outside the penalty area.

Yaya Toure's shot just now came from the fact that the Liverpool players outside the penalty area did not mark the opponent well, otherwise Yaya Toure would not be able to complete the shot so easily.

…………

Martin Taylor criticized: "Liverpool almost lost the ball just now! The midfielder actually relaxed his marking on Yaya Toure. It really makes people wonder if Yaya Toure really played for Liverpool last season. Don't they know what their former team-mates are capable of? Or if Gerrard didn't play and no one set an example, they wouldn't run hard?"

The live broadcast shot was also given to Gerrard who was sitting in the box at the right time.

The Liverpool captain was not able to play in this game. He felt discomfort in his thigh during training the day before the game. After inspection, he found muscle damage and needed to rest for at least a week.If the recovery effect is not bad, it is normal to have a truce for 20 days.

During this period of time, Liverpool's schedule was too dense, almost double matches a week after the start of the league.Although there are occasional matches that are not played twice a week, they are all national competition days.And Gerrard is the captain of the national team. He has a very high attendance rate during the national match day, which means that from August to now, Gerrard has been in the state of double matches a week.Although his injury was unexpected, it was actually reasonable.

Li Wei hates the national match day even more, and he is determined to advance the negotiations between the club and UEFA more quickly.

Damn it, you make my brother unhappy, don't even think about it!

In fact, the FIFA virus and the devil's schedule are not only tea poisoned Gerrard alone, including Pirlo and Vidal, all have red lights in physical fitness.In a state of fatigue, players are more likely to be injured, so we can often see a large number of Premier League players injured in the news around January.

For this reason, in this game, Mancini can play all the main players, but Li Weike seems a little helpless, he can only play as a substitute midfielder.Henderson partnered with Charlie Adam, Hazard sat on the bench in the midfielder position, and Levy let Nainggolan play in the attacking midfield position.

Now it seems that without Gerrard's command and running by example, Liverpool's midfield dominance has dropped a lot.

But without Gerrard, wouldn't Liverpool's midfield run?

…………

"Let me run, whoever ran less than 5000 meters in the first half, you all go to the bench to watch the drinking fountain!" Li Wei roared.

Yes, Gerrard wasn't on the field, not even on the bench, just sitting in the box to support the team.

But Liverpool still has Levi!

Levi not only stimulated Liverpool players on the football field verbally, he also stimulated Liverpool players on the football field in action.

"Adam (Lalana) and Moussa Sissoko, go warm up and move for me! Get ready!" Li Wei shouted to the bench.

Li Wei didn't call Lewandowski, didn't call Hazard, just called the two midfielders Lallana and Moussa Sissoko to warm up. There is no doubt that he is dissatisfied with Liverpool's position.

He is telling the players on the football field blatantly, don't think it's because you dare not make substitutions in the first half, you bastards dare to save me energy, I will let you rest on the bench in the first half!

…………

Levi's threat was immediate. After the game restarted, Liverpool's three midfielders ran in a wide range without hesitating their physical strength. Driven by the midfielder, the running of Liverpool players in other positions also increased to varying degrees.

Now Li Wei is threatening to replace the midfielder, but the midfielder started to run, but the other positions did not keep up with the rhythm. Next, warm up on the sidelines.

When the Liverpool players stepped up their running, Manchester City's offense immediately became much more difficult. Many small cooperations had just been played, and they lost the ball under Liverpool's pressure.Even if you don't lose the ball, you lose a good opportunity to attack because of fighting with the opponent.

…………

Manchester City's assistant coach David Platt said to Mancini: "Mancho, should we also make some adjustments? For example, shrinking a distance back, this may create better offensive opportunities."

Mancini shook his head, and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I don't believe that Levi can let his players run forever! Liverpool fought Chelsea seven days ago, and Leverkusen three days ago. Against our Manchester City, I don't believe that Levi's players are solid! I watched his game in the second half, what to fight with me!"
