Chapter 486 Manchester City's Horror

"Liverpool is a difficult opponent, but they have been unbeaten for nine rounds, right? After maintaining such a good state for so long, it is time to decline."

Before the start of the game, the war of words between the two sides must be fought first-maybe the two sides have no hatred, and maybe they will appreciate each other, but on the big stage of the Premier League, everyone needs to play their own role.

In an interview, Manchester City coach Guatu replied with a smile that Manchester City's performance is not bad recently. After losing to Arsenal, they have been unbeaten in four rounds, especially the defeat of the leader Chelsea, and two consecutive big scores Victory over the impressive Stoke City and Newcastle is enough to show their good form.

"In the last four rounds, our performance has been the same, with three wins and one tie." Klopp hit back in an interview: "But we have been in the trough for a long time, and now is the time to move towards the peak. In the first game, our state must be stronger than Manchester United. They scored nine goals in two consecutive games, which has exceeded their goal rate, so their state will definitely decline in this game."

"Oh, Klopp said that, I thought we hadn't been unbeaten at Anfield in the past four years." Guatu responded lightly.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Every game is a new beginning. I think a famous coach like Guatu should understand this truth." Klopp counterattacked not to be outdone.

This is the first time that Bu Qingyun has seen the head coaches of the two sides spar since he came to the UK, especially a famous coach with a high reputation in the world, which makes him feel very interesting.

The head coach fought a war of words, and the players kept silent-now it seems that a coach can play this game. Liverpool players have also been given a gag order and are not allowed to accept interviews. Bu Qingyun also rejected interviews with many domestic media, saying The club demands it.

The war of words was lively, but on the day when the game was about to start, the two sides had a tacit understanding to stop this meaningless war of words and concentrate on preparing for the battle.

"They are still the four-four-two formation they are used to, and we will not change anything, Mill, this game will have more forward assists, go up to the midfield, and add more strength and running ability to our midfield After getting the ball in the backcourt, remember to pass the ball to Bu Qingyun, and use his long pass to launch the attack, Bu Qingyun, I know you are more used to passing the ball safely, but what we need in this game is to play fast, It doesn't matter if the pass is wrong, if we succeed once, we can score a goal, understand?"

In the locker room at Anfield, Klopp looked at Bu Qingyun and said.

Bu Qingyun nodded, expressing that he understood Klopp's arrangement.

Seeing him like this, Klopp did not become more at ease, because he knew what kind of player Bu Qingyun was. On the court, he would have his own set of logic. If he can't get good results in the game, he will adapt accordingly. This has been clearly reflected in the previous games.

For the characteristics of Bu Qingyun, Klopp has given enough tolerance, because he knows that as a newly joined player, Bu Qingyun can better exert his ability by doing this, as long as this kind of performance is good for the team. If the whole is beneficial, he will be able to tolerate it.

After all, the two sides still need to work together, and what Bu Qingyun showed... is very important to Liverpool now.

"Friends from the audience, what I am broadcasting for you now is the No. 20 round of the Premier League this season, a focus match between Liverpool and Manchester City at home! This is the last game of this round. If Liverpool can beat Manchester United, Then the competition between the top six will become more intense, and Liverpool will also be able to rush to the No.5 position. If Manchester United wins, they will lead Chelsea by three points. There is no doubt that this game It will be very important...Liverpool's starting is the first two games. Our country's footsteps Qingyun has already started in Liverpool... Four-five formation, goalkeeper Carlsen, right back Mir, left back Morey, center back Haiya is partnered with vice-captain Karlger. The two midfielders are captain Helder and Dutch midfielder Verdum. Among the three attacking midfielders, Bu Qingyun is in the middle, and the position is a bit later. Cuneo and Marne The forward position is higher, and the forward striker is Ferno! Sturki is still sitting on the bench. The England national team striker was in a bad state before...Manchester City also sent all their main players. Ray guards the goal, Van Dier, Stone, Otadi and Kerry, four defenders worth more than 3000 million pounds, form a defensive line. Fernan and Jingan serve as double midfielders. In front of them is the Belgian international. De Ding Ding and England international Stahl served as the attacking midfielder. Stahl was born in Liverpool. He once had an excellent performance in Liverpool, but he moved to Manchester City. Every time he appeared at Anfield, he would be booed by Liverpool fans... …The striker partner is still a South American partner, Argentine striker Akun and Brazilian striker Hess, Manchester City's frontcourt quartet all played!"

What is more awesome than a trident is naturally a quartet.

De Ding Ding, Stahl, Akun, and Hess, the personal abilities of these four players are beyond doubt. Even Stahl, who seems to have the roughest skills at his feet, is actually a player with excellent speed and skills. When he was in Liverpool He often puts on a good show where a few players quickly counterattack and score goals in succession. These four players have cooperated for several years, and they all have good running scoring and coping skills. It is very difficult for such a player. Deal with it, let alone four.

Akun has always been a strong contender for the top scorer in the Premier League. Hess's scoring ability is also quite good. Dedingdin and Stell are also players who can play forwards and contribute double-digit goals in a season. And double-digit assists are not difficult. Although Manchester City is now playing overall possession football, most of the goals are still scored by these four people.

"Guys, you can't lose to four of them!"

After picking sides with the opponent, Held walked back and encouraged Liverpool's offensive combination: "You are also our Liverpool quartet!"

Ferno felt a lot of pressure.

Cuneo felt the pressure.

Marne also felt the pressure.

Bu Qingyun: "Well, we won't lose, Captain."

Held nodded in satisfaction, and then walked towards his own half. His main task in this game is to defend.

"Bu, are you so confident?" Ferno asked in surprise.

"The captain asked us, can we not be confident? Besides, I don't think the four of us are worse than the four of them." Bu Qingyun chuckled.

"Since you say that, we can't admit it." Cuneo patted Bu Qingyun on the shoulder, and then said very sincerely: "But if we can't do it, you have to remember to come up and help!"

Marne nodded beside him.

Game start.

For the Manchester City stars, of course they are aware of the importance of this game, but this does not mean that they have anything to fear from the Liverpool players.

In the current European football, who is good and who is not, basically can be seen from the contract-none of Manchester City's frontcourt quartet has an annual salary of tens of millions of euros, which fully demonstrates the degree of local tyrants of the Arabs. From this point of view, it is quite normal for Stell to leave. He was in Liverpool and got an annual salary of 800 million, but now he is in Manchester City?What he got was 1000 and [-] million!

And he's just the lowest paid of the four.

Although Liverpool's players are also very good stars, to a certain extent, they stayed in Liverpool because the higher-level giants did not value them too much, so they stayed.

Think about Suas, think about Stell... They are all the top players in Liverpool in the past five years. However, after Liverpool played at the top level, they immediately transferred to Barcelona and Manchester City, from this aspect, Liverpool's attractiveness and financial resources have indeed been thrown away by the top giants.

Under Jing'an's organization, Manchester City started their familiar offensive tactics of passing the ball and possession. Liverpool naturally would not sit back and watch them pass the ball like this. They immediately launched a press in the midfield, but the effect was not very good.

Playing ball possession tactics in the Premier League-this is the greatest thing Guatu has done. Although he has reached this level in other teams before, it is La Liga and Bundesliga after all!La Liga pays more attention to technology, and the pressing is not so fierce. When he coached Bayern in the Bundesliga, Bayern's player level was obviously higher than that of their opponents, so they were naturally able to handle it with ease.

In the Premier League, being able to do this is great enough.

The general level of pressing, even the pressing of a giant like Liverpool will not cause them too much trouble. This is the greatness of Manchester City's possession tactics.

Although the frontcourt quartet all have excellent personal skills, when they participate in the passing tactics, they will never show off their skills, but pass them honestly, but Liverpool can't relax their defense just yet. After all, as long as he relaxes towards anyone, a breakthrough by him may bring about extremely serious consequences!
This is exactly the huge pressure that Manchester City's possession offense can bring!
In Barcelona before, ball control was a conventional weapon, and breakthrough was a nuclear weapon. However, there was only one such nuclear weapon, but now Manchester City has four such nuclear weapons.

Perhaps these four nuclear weapons are not as powerful as that one, but from a defensive point of view, they are more difficult to guard against, because each of them may pose a huge threat.

Klopp folded his hands and looked at the court coldly, while Guatu on the other side had a calmer expression.

The different reactions of the two head coaches seem to show the advantages and disadvantages of both sides on the field.
