Chapter 659

At the Etihad Stadium, fans of Liverpool and Manchester City are looking forward to the team's good state and performance in this strong dialogue at the beginning of the season.

After the start of the game, Manchester City's offense was a bit sloppy, and it seemed that they did not want to complicate the offense. In the warm-up match, Sterling was restrained repeatedly. It may be that he learned a lesson, and he played decisively today.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Nasri took a shot 25 yards from the goal on the left side of the frontcourt. The football was played a bit positively and did not test Ter Stegen.

At this time, Situ Yunbing pays special attention to the position of Manchester City's defense line in the backcourt. As expected, Pellegrini will stabilize the defense line at home today.

If Pellegrini imitates the offensive method that Situ Yunbing is good at, combining simple offense with tough defense to deal with Liverpool, Situ Yunbing will definitely look at the opponent differently.

But looking at it now, Pellegrini just keeps Manchester City at the more traditional defensive counterattack level.

This is also threatening, because this is Manchester City's home court, and Manchester City is strong enough. When the team has a strong enough foundation, as long as the team can keep a low profile, the general results will not be too bad, but can they create brilliance? , that's another matter.

Because some teams are not compatible with the utilitarian style of play due to the configuration relationship, this will cause the team to support the lower limit, but it also restricts the flexibility of the upper limit.

Liverpool didn't need to look at Manchester City's face, and they attacked step by step according to the way they are good at.

In the 6th minute of the game, Eriksson faced Yaya Toure and Fernando in the middle of the game and chose to knock the ball back obliquely. Casemiro followed up and put his foot on the ground. Pass the ball to the feet of Gareth Bale, who led the ball while flicking the ball to the baseline direction, and then quickly and flexibly bypassed the Clichy who robbed the air and quickly bottomed.

Gareth Bale's cross from just before the baseline swept the ball into the penalty area.

Demichelis is the current firefighter on Manchester City's back line. It may be that Mangala has not gained enough trust from Pellegrini to let the veteran Demichelis, who is not stable in ability, but absolutely rich in experience, play. .

Experience is experience, but after Gareth Bell broke through the defense line in an instant and brought out the offensive depth advantage, Demichelis could not keep up with the speed of returning to the front of the defense. Lewandowski obliquely inserted into the penalty area The right flank also seized his return line, making Demichelis completely helpless.

Lewandowski slammed the ball into the near corner of the goal.

Joe Hart, who has been criticized by Fleet Street for his ups and downs in the past two years, made a wonderful save this time, falling to the ground and blocking the ball out of the baseline with a single palm!
Lewandowski hugged his head and sighed, then gave Gareth Bale a thumbs up!

Pellegrini looked solemn on the sidelines. Liverpool's strength has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Situ Yunbing's good start style is well known!

In the past five seasons, whether in Monaco, Hamburg, or Liverpool, Situ Yunbing has played very well at the beginning of the season!
Four of these seasons have created the best start in the history of the team's top league.

This shows that he has done a good job of preparing for the battle!

But in fact, it also has a lot to do with the opponent.

For example, some mid- and lower-level teams are not very vigilant at the beginning of the season, and the teams have a little bit of personnel changes. They have not done a good job at this stage at the beginning of the season. At the same time, if you have a correct attitude and put all your heart into the game, then the gap in strength will be bigger than it looks!

Manchester City's main lineup has not changed much in the past two years, which also guarantees the continuation of the team's state to a certain extent.

But if you want to compete with the team led by Situ Yunbing, you will be a bit overconfident.

Just like Arsenal can lead Liverpool by three goals in the Community Shield, it is hard to say where Liverpool did not do well. It can only be said that Arsenal's surprise player Sanchez did cause trouble for Liverpool, but Liverpool can make a comeback through adjustments in the second half The biggest root cause of the shocking reversal is that they are in a good enough state to realize the effect of the head coach's tactical adjustment.

Manchester City had a counterattack opportunity in the 11th minute of the game. Silva knocked the ball back to Yaya Toure in the middle circle. very good.

Sterling made a gap in the defense line from the right and then quickly slid the ball down to the edge of the penalty area to pass the ball.

The ball was about to be outflanked by Aguero in the middle to complete the shot. At the critical moment, Van Dijk raised his leg and cleared the ball first!
Pellegrini felt a little sorry in his heart!
Situ Yunbing didn't change his face, this is the tactical effect Manchester City wanted.

Defensive counterattack!

But in Situ Yunbing's view, such a defensive counterattack appeared too late.

Any attack actually depends on the number of threats to accumulate, and then to increase the success rate.

Just like how Situ Yunbing defined the pass success rate in the internal meeting of the coaching team?
If each player's pass success rate is 80%, then if 7 players touch the ball from the start to the end of an attack, the last one completes the shot!
So what is the success rate?

26%!

In other words, 20 similar attacks, 100 or so passes, only 5 will be converted into shots!
This also rules out a lot of ineffective and meaningless passes.

So it is not surprising that a team like Barcelona is very pursuing the pass success rate and ball possession rate. Passing the ball more than 300 times in a game, creating 20-30 shots, and then scoring the opponent 2-4 goals normal.

Of course, this is the most basic data interpretation for a ball-handling team. Behind the data is the requirement for team skills.

For a defensive style of play, or a team of opportunistic style of play, or a team that relies on star style of play, things that can be interpreted by the pass success rate actually need to be analyzed more deeply.

Just like Manchester City, if you don’t look at ball possession, the number of passes and the success rate, but if you can create a threatening attack in an average of 10 minutes, you can imagine how low the offensive efficiency will be, unless they can absolutely guarantee the defensive efficiency of the defense line. to a very high degree.

Just like the Italian teams in the past, no matter how bad the offense is, as long as the defense is fine, the 1:0 doctrine is also their way of success.

But Manchester City's defense today is not as stable as it seems. At least Liverpool can hit the goal in the penalty area under a strong attack. This is a very convincing phenomenon.

In the 15th minute of the game, when Liverpool besieged Manchester City and shot two consecutive long-range shots, Manchester City's backcourt clearance balls were all controlled by Liverpool's midfielder and then launched an offensive.

Azpilicueta made an assist from the right to respond to Coutinho's oblique pass. Clichy's defensive attention was on Gareth Bell. At this time, Gareth Bell made a move forward, and Kerry Xi and Demichelis immediately retreated to block, but Azpilicueta retreated with a spike and took a step to swing the ball across the front of the penalty area.

Casemiro, who followed up, took the ball in front of Yaya Toure and sent it to the center of the penalty area.

Lewandowski took the initiative to respond to the spike here to complete the turn, and directly had the opportunity to kick and shoot.

Because Demichelis was closely guarding Gareth Bale, and Kompany followed up immediately but was pulled away by Lewandowski's dunk turn.

Lewandowski kicks decisively!

The football flew straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Joe Hart made a weak save this time, and the football went into the lower left corner of the goal!

Lewandowski laughed and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal!
The Red Army fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium couldn't help waving their arms and cheering for Lewandowski!
"Lewandowski volleys the goal! Casemiro's assist!
The Polish center forward really seamlessly connected to Liverpool. After Suarez left, people had discussions about whether Lewandowski could integrate into Liverpool. Looking at it now, it only took less than three games, the Community Shield, Premier League opener, today's game, Lewandowski used his third league goal to prove one thing to everyone.

Suarez's gun, he took it!
Manchester City played too conservatively at home today. The fatal thing is that they don't have the courage to confront Liverpool in the midfield. If Liverpool can continue to attack, their defense will take huge risks. Demichelis Although he was marking Gareth Bell in the defense this time, judging from the principle that zone defense is higher than man-mark defense, he still lost his position!

From a more tacit defensive system, Yaya Toure should retreat into the penalty area at this time, but he didn't. We haven't seen Yaya Toure really play the role of a defensive midfielder for a long time!
Manchester City seems to have exposed some problems in front of Liverpool that we did not see before the game.

I hope Pellegrini can make adjustments in time!
Now they are only one goal behind. If they catch up, they will have a chance! "

Lewandowski's goal made Situ Yunbing smile, and he applauded Lewandowski.

When inviting Lewandowski to join, Lewandowski said a word to Situ Yunbing.

"I haven't signed a contract with Bayern Munich for a long time, just to see if there will be a better choice. Now that you have appeared, I know that I don't have to think about Bayern Munich anymore!"

It can be said that in the past four years, during Situ Yunbing's coaching process, Lewandowski was one of the few opponent teams who could frequently play against Situ Yunbing's coaching team.

Bundesliga for two years plus last season's Champions League.

It can be said that in four seasons, Lewandowski has met Situ Yunbing's team in three seasons, which allows Situ Yunbing to witness his growth from a more objective perspective, and also makes Lewandowski Fascinated by Situ Yunbing.

Now, they have finally become masters and apprentices, fighting side by side!
Situ Yunbing wants his red dynasty, and Lewandowski wants his peak glory, it can be said to hit it off!
