Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1092
The packed Anfield stadium was full of people. The game was about to start. The players of the two teams had already started to take positions in their respective halfs. The live broadcast camera captured the expressions of each player at this time. Little pressure, but persistent eyes represent rushing to victory and never giving up!
Situ Yunbing and Guardiola stood in their respective coach command areas with equally serious expressions. Both of them cheered up and did not want to miss every detail of the game!
The battle of 22 players on the field will start with the whistle of the referee, and the game between Situ Yunbing and Guardiola will also begin at the same time!

When the audience heard the referee blowing the whistle to start the game, the earth-shattering cheers began to reverberate in the Anfield Stadium!

Liverpool, who sit at home, took the lead, and Eriksson responded from behind the middle circle. When he turned around and knocked the ball back, Aguero rushed past him to press Casemiro directly. It seems that Guardio La definitely has a thorough study of Liverpool. Eriksson is indeed more inclined to choose Casemiro when he chooses between Kanter and Casemiro when he returns in the middle.

But this time Eriksson didn't pass the ball to Casemiro, he didn't pass the ball, but pulled the ball and turned around!

Seeing this, Aguero immediately stopped and turned to chase!

Eriksson waded the ball to the kick-off point in the middle circle to face De Bruyne, and directly kicked a long pass!
Lewandowski, who ran forward after the kick-off, made a back-up response in the middle of the penalty area. Kompany came up to fight and put pressure on him. Lewandowski took a step back after unloading the ball from the chest Quickly knock across the right.

Mbappe encountered the pincer attack of Gundogan and Mendy in the inward cut. He touched the ball first and picked the ball with his right foot to the left rib of the penalty area!
Griezmann got rid of Walker in the inside cut, facing the falling football, it seemed that Liverpool had penetrated Manchester City's defense!

But it was very difficult for Griezmann to handle the ball because it was too extreme!

When the football was about to fly out of the bottom line, Griezmann shoveled and shot, and the football shot from the arch of his left foot finally hit the goal net.

Ederson raised his hands to his teammates to signal that everything is safe!
call!
The audience was amazed!

The first wave of Liverpool's simple attack penetrated Manchester City's defense after the opening. If it weren't for Mbappe's poor passing quality, I am afraid that Griezmann would have an excellent chance to shoot!
"Wow! The game has only started less than 20 seconds, Liverpool completed the first shot!
Although Griezmann failed to hit the ball within the goal range, Liverpool's offensive threat has already put Manchester City under pressure!
Perhaps this is why Liverpool chose Griezmann instead of Sane today! "

If we talk about the ability to run in the penalty area to find opportunities, Griezmann is obviously better than Sane, who is more used to possession of the ball to create threats. Manchester City's right back is Walker. In terms of confrontation, it is definitely ranked among the right backs in the Premier League. Of the first two, the other is the healthy Azpilicueta.

Situ Yunbing doesn’t need to see it with his own eyes to know that Manchester City cannot avoid foul tactics in this decisive battle. It is almost unrealistic for Sane to control the ball and get rid of Walker. Let Griezmann play, Griezmann's running ability will minimize his defensive pressure from Walker!
Manchester City did not quickly organize a threatening offensive as soon as they took possession of the ball. The midfielder passed the ball patiently and the speed was very fast.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Gundogan controlled the ball in front of the center circle, and when he encountered Eriksson, he passed the ball short to De Bruyne's feet.

De Bruyne did not pull the ball and turn around, but directly started dribbling the ball horizontally!

This made Casemiro, who was closely guarding him, feel a little uncomfortable. Passively following him can easily lead to zone defense failure. If you don't follow up to apply pressure, then De Bruyne will easily create threats after he has space.

Casemiro gritted his teeth to keep up, and observed Kanter's position at the same time. Naturally, his teammates who fought side by side would not stand by at this time. Kanter stepped forward to prepare to press De Bruyne, and Casemiro turned back when he saw this. Withdrew to the front of the penalty area to act as a barrier, because Jingdong An is also running, and may pose a threat at the front of the penalty area at any time.

De Bruyne didn't pass the ball again when he saw Kanter kill, but passed the ball diagonally to Sterling's feet.

In the transition of the ball, Sterling pulled the ball to change direction and started to dribble forward. When facing Arnold, he pretended to go outside. He planned to make a fake move to see Arnold's reaction. Unexpectedly, Arnold stayed on the inside and remained indifferent to his fake move.

Sterling simply accelerated the ball from the outside line to the bottom logically.

Arnold chased back and defended, Sterling kicked back the ball before the baseline, Arnold remained unmoved, Sterling made a cross.

The football drew a large arc over the Liverpool penalty area and then fell to the back of the penalty area!

Koulibaly and Van Dijk blocked Aguero, and Jesus barely kicked the shot from a far point inward. He was also not easy to defend against Robertson. He faced the ball and shot directly. Although the football hit the goal Inside, but the near corner of the goal has been completely blocked by Ter Stegen, and the Lion King easily holds the ball in his arms.

After Guardiola applauded on the sidelines, he gestured for the team to quickly return to defense!
"Manchester City also had their first shot of the game, but they didn't create a threat.

The role of Jesus is somewhat similar to that of Griezmann. Today, Guardiola did not use Bernardo Silva, who has a better dribbling ability, because he must have considered Bernardo Silva's current ability. It is difficult to bargain in front of Liverpool's strong defense.

Liverpool took a goal kick, Ter Stegen threw the ball to Van Dijk, and launched a fast break from the back! "

Van Dijk passed the ball diagonally to Robertson on the left. The latter quickly advanced the ball. Jesus chased after him. Luo completed the cooperation of hitting the wall, which interfered with Jesus' pursuit. When Robertson took control of the ball again, he had already reached the dangerous zone of the frontcourt attack.

Manchester City has only one defensive midfielder today, so they are unable to divide their troops to help defend the wing.

Griezmann pulls the side to create better space for Robertson, and Walker retracts to the penalty area. The defensive principle is basically the same as that of Arnold. The direct inside line must not be given to the opponent. If the opponent wants to go outside, then it is also Can't control it!
The offensive strength of both sides is too strong, and they both pay great attention to the side attack. It is impossible to completely restrict the opponent from the side. We can only choose the lesser of two evils!
Robertson suddenly kicked a pass directly, and the football flew to the right side of the penalty area!
Diagonal attack!
One of Liverpool's best styles of play.

When Mbappe came to the football landing point first with his fast speed, he took off and headed the ball to the middle of the goal!

Lewandowski followed up in the middle, and Kompany gritted his teeth to block the opponent's running line. When the football flew, Kompany and Lewandowski took off at the same time. The captain of Manchester City took the lead to touch the ball and headed to the stands. direction.

Liverpool corner attack!
Situ Yunbing took a deep breath on the sidelines. If Lewandowski receives this attack, it will be a chance to kill!
Eriksson took a tactical corner kick, and most of Manchester City's defensive players stayed in the penalty area and did not defend outward.

This is also Guardiola's deployment. He knows that according to Manchester City's defensive strength, if they defend against it, there may be an empty space in the penalty area and Liverpool's deadly through ball will penetrate it!
Especially when Manchester City thinks they have restricted Eriksson, that is the most dangerous, because Liverpool's players who deliver the ball and the players who deliver the threatening ball are Eriksson on the surface, but they can bring no less He was a passing threat as well as Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and even Casemiro and their strikers.

Since Manchester City is not defending, Liverpool naturally chose the most conventional way to create threats.

Casemiro completed a long shot from the right side of the penalty area!
The football passed through the crowd, and the Manchester City players felt chills down their spines. Looking back, the football deviated from the right post by about half a meter and flew out of the baseline, which made them slightly relieved.

"Casemiro's long-range shot missed! It's hard to say what a pity this opportunity is. Compared with the threats Liverpool have been able to create in the past, such shots are too commonplace."

There is no need for Situ Yunbing to remind, the Liverpool generals have quickly returned to defense.

Manchester City began to organize the offensive from the backcourt, and their advancement was obviously not as fast as Liverpool.

Because their full-backs are weak in the technical aspects of ball possession and advancement, Walker and Mendy cannot dribble and advance as skillfully, quickly and flexibly as Arnold and Robertson. Another important reason is that they do not have a very wide vision. and organizational skills!
When the two full-backs of Liverpool are in danger of being caught in a pinch, they will observe the running position of their teammates beforehand, and they can cooperate with their teammates or pass the ball to a safe zone at any time.

Therefore, Manchester City's offensive organization relies more on the midfielder.

Liverpool will naturally strengthen the counter-robbery and encirclement in the midfield.

Manchester City's composure is a good performance. They pass back when they can't play in the midfield, and the midfielders run out of space and then respond to reorganize!
In the 10th minute of the game, when Fernandinho passed the ball to De Bruyne's feet, the latter happened to be marked by Casemiro. De Bruyne knocked the ball back and Gundogan took the lead The ball goes diagonally and passes the ball straight ahead just past the halfway line.

Sterling made a quick cut from the left and took the lead to touch the ball, but Arnold followed him closely. Sterling made an emergency stop to spike the ball and retreated. After widening the distance with Arnold, he grabbed the ball before Kanter blocked it. Pass to the right side of the restricted area.

Looking for Jesus again!

Liverpool has strengthened the emphasis on the threat of Jesus' inward cut. Coulibali first retreated and shook his head to push the ball to the wing. Robertson controlled the ball on the left side of the backcourt to defuse the danger.
