Chapter 1096 The peak of the battle of the gods!

wore!

Liverpool's defense was completely penetrated by Manchester City!

When Aguero poked the ball into the near corner of Liverpool's goal, not only Manchester City fans cheered wildly, but even the reporters and football critics in the media seats raised their arms and cheered!
Because they saw Manchester City's hope of winning the championship!

Manchester City is indeed the team most qualified to challenge Liverpool in the Premier League. They have the opportunity to take the crown from Liverpool and put it on their own heads!
Aguero rushed to the sidelines and screamed, and the Manchester City fans were so excited!

They broke Liverpool's goal at Anfield!

another one!
Another one and they will turn things around!
Break Liverpool's five-year rule of the Premier League!

Will a new king be born today?

"Aguero scored a goal! The goal was scored! Liverpool's defense was completely torn apart by Manchester City's attack this time!
From Gundogan's possession to the transfer to De Bruyne's feet, when the ball returned to Gundogan's feet, he sent a deadly through ball!
Jesus sent a key pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Aguero scored a goal while running!
They didn't give Koulibaly or Van Dijk a chance to defend and press!
Everything happened so fast!
Manchester City equalized the score before the end of the first half, which brought back the suspense of the Premier League title!
Manchester City still needs to score more goals to reverse the victory and defeat the Red Army dynasty!

But I think the current situation will still be beneficial to Liverpool, because there will be less and less time left in the game!

Liverpool 1:1 Manchester City! "

Guardiola is also rare to clenched his fists and roared after witnessing Aguero's goal!

Even though he has played in two Champions League finals and many Spanish national derbys that have attracted worldwide attention, today's duel is in Guardiola's mind the most important and challenging peak match in his coaching career so far!
Situ Yunbing gritted his teeth secretly. This wave of Manchester City's offense has achieved the ultimate in space, players' movement to cover, interspersed, and timing!

Although Liverpool have played against opponents like Real Madrid with two world-class midfielders, Real Madrid is still inferior to Manchester City in terms of creativity!

This is actually very easy to compare. Comparing the process of Real Madrid's goals this season with Manchester City's, it can be found that Manchester City's De Bruyne's offensive creativity is sharper than Real Madrid's two midfielders.

Real Madrid focuses on control, while Manchester City focuses on penetration!
Although Liverpool's previous defensive adjustments had some effect, new problems followed.

Restricting Aguero's retracement point is tantamount to giving the Manchester City midfielder more room to move!

Situ Yunbing almost wanted to slap himself!

He ignored this until he adjusted.

Perhaps he has also become accustomed to the conservative and passive opponents when facing Liverpool. It is expected that no matter how eager Manchester City is to attack, Guardiola's changes to the team this season are obvious, downshifting from last season's aggressiveness.

This is also an important aspect of Manchester City's progress this season: defense!

Manchester City conceded 39 goals in the league last season, averaging more than one per game!
But they have only conceded 24 goals so far this season!

The improvement of this defensive data is a substantial improvement in defensive strength!
But on the day of the crucial decisive battle, Manchester City really went all out!
It is impossible for Guardiola to be unaware that when Manchester City's two midfielders press to the front of Liverpool's penalty area, once their offense is frustrated, then Liverpool's three-line quick counterattack is definitely capable of taking away their defense line!

From full-back to midfield to striker, Liverpool have the ability to play numerical advantage, even if the numbers are balanced, Liverpool also have the ability to penetrate their defense in the counter-attack.

But Manchester City still did so firmly, which shows that Guardiola came to Anfield with the determination to break the boat!
nice shot!

It is indeed a good shot!
Situ Yunbing is excited that he can have such an opponent!

After winning the Champions League last season, he felt somewhat lonely.

Because Manchester City is not competitive in the league, and Klopp's Arsenal is somewhat congenitally deficient. As for Chelsea and Manchester United, he has never been the object of his concern.

And this season, both Klopp and Guardiola have shown stronger performances than last season, and so has Situ Yunbing!
This battle of the gods has finally ushered in the brightest chapter!

In the middle and late May of 2018, they jointly wrote the most explosive peak matchup in the Premier League and European football!

Situ Yunbing gestured on the sidelines to keep the team steady!
The first half of the game was coming to an end, and he didn't intend to gamble.

If Liverpool can easily penetrate Manchester City's defense, he will put further pressure on Liverpool, but obviously the core of this game is not strength. If it is lower, the fundamentals will not change.

But wanting to win the game requires careful design and the thinking and direction of fighting for it!
Guardiola's thoughts at this time were the same as Situ Yunbing's. There was not much time left in the first half of the game, so there was no need to take risks!

In particular, Liverpool will take the lead in controlling the ball. Manchester City died last season after a radical collapse, but this season has indeed increased their emphasis on offensive and defensive balance, and at the same time enhanced the team's ability to confront.

Now he ordered the whole team to retreat and defend, and the striker was no exception!

Seeing Manchester City's performance, Situ Yunbing praised in his heart: able to bend and stretch!Manchester City finally has the air of kings!
Before the end of the first half, Liverpool's offense formed a long-range chance in the frontcourt, but Kante's long-range shot eventually deviated from the goal.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the fans cheered!
Although Liverpool and Manchester City did not play a traditional British passionate attack in this first-half confrontation, all audiences were extremely shocked by the pursuit of quality and the expressiveness of offensive tactics that destroyed the opponent's defense!
Both Situ Yunbing and Guardiola walked into the player tunnel with a preoccupied look.

They are thinking about how to defeat the enemy in the second half of the game, and at the same time guard against the opponent!

This is the most wonderful part of the game between them.

This is by no means a game that can crush opponents by relying on hard power!
It is undeniable that they can win most of the games in the season without too much tactics, but they have always paid great attention to tactics from the beginning of the season to today, in order to let the team play the strongest in the peak matchup strength!
When Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, he stood silently in front of the tactical board.

The players did not chat after returning to the locker room, but seized the time to rest and recover.

When Situ Yunbing started to make adjustments, his words were surprising.

"In the second half, we have to make substitution adjustments first, and Henderson comes on to replace Eriksson!"

Eriksson was surprised, but he didn't complain at all. He had obeyed Situ Yunbing's command for a long time, and he knew Situ Yunbing as well as his teammates.

His performance in the first half was definitely not bad, and he was even an integral part of Liverpool's attack.

Situ Yunbing is also different from other coaches. The reason for many coaches' substitutions is that the player's performance is not good and the state is not up to expectations, so he will make substitutions and adjustments.

But Situ Yunbing's substitutions will not only consider these, but also have deeper technical and tactical purposes.

Henderson didn't expect to be replaced so soon, and listened more carefully to Situ Yunbing's next adjustment.

After Situ Yunbing re-planned the tactical play in the second half, he clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team and told them: "The first half of the game has proved that Manchester City is very close to our strength, and they have a chance to take the victory from Anfield. At the same time, he also took away the championship trophy!

Our performance is not worse than theirs, but this requires us to continue to use our full strength to play in the second half of the game, without the slightest distraction!

This is destined to be a game that will be recorded in history. We are not the ones waiting for history, we are the ones who create and write history! "

The generals of the Red Army nodded to cheer each other up.

Situ Yunbing came to the sidelines before the start of the second half. Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his arms folded. He was in a calm posture, but before the start of the game, he saw Situ Yunbing standing with his arms around Henderson. A look of astonishment on the outside of the halfway line!
He expected that Situ Yunbing would make adjustments, but the substitution was definitely not one of them. This was really a change that caught Guardiola by surprise.

He almost had to reassess the changes after Liverpool replaced Henderson in his mind!

The live footage captured Situ Yunbing whispering a few words into Henderson's ear before Henderson came on to replace Eriksson!

Even the Red Army fans looked at each other and were very surprised.

Was Eriksen not good in the first half?

Ask a hundred people, a thousand people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for one person to say that Eriksson's performance is not good and he should be replaced!
Although he is not as penetrative as De Bruyne in passing forward in offense, and can tear apart the opponent's defense in an instant, at least he is also the most important connection hub in Liverpool's offensive system!
"I didn't expect Liverpool to make a substitution before the second half!
Henderson came on to replace Eriksson!
Eriksson was involved in almost all of Liverpool's threatening offenses in the first half of the game!

His role is self-evident, can Henderson play the same role as Eriksson?

If not, this substitution may become a key turning point in the game!

But I think according to Situ Yunbing's calm coaching style, he couldn't have made the decision to make a hasty substitution because he couldn't bear the pressure. He must have his tactical assumptions in doing so!
The specific effect can only be judged from Henderson's game performance. "

On the bright side, Liverpool's replacement of Eriksson has reduced their offensive investment, because Henderson has always been considered an engineer-type midfielder.

So does this mean that Liverpool will start to transform into a defensive counterattack?

Even if Guardiola doesn't think there will be such a change in his heart, Manchester City must guard against it!
