Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 661 It's Messed Up!
After Liverpool led by two goals, Manchester City has been unable to maintain a calm mentality and a calm mind!
The original so-called pre-match tactical plan should be implemented in a regular manner before the situation does not meet expectations or is lower than expected. is impractical.

The Manchester City generals want to say that they have an indifferent mentality when facing Liverpool, which is a humiliation to their fighting spirit!

Two goals behind can only fight recklessly!
There is no other choice!

When Manchester City began to actively mobilize their midfield and backcourt forces to launch a strong attack on Liverpool, Liverpool had already been psychologically prepared.

The rhythm of the game is under their control, because they have been too familiar with this rhythm in the past two years. When their lead makes their opponents have to give it a go, it is a signal that they should strengthen their defense!

Manchester City's active counterattack made the pace of the game suddenly faster, and it did bring pressure and threats to Liverpool. This is determined by Manchester City's basic strength!
In the 36th minute of the game, Yaya Toure went directly to the front of the penalty area to meet Sterling's pass. He was blocked by Benatia when he shot, and the football changed direction and rolled out of the baseline.

Manchester City corner.

Silva's corner kick fell to the left side of the penalty area.

Kompany was originally marked by Casemiro. When Silva took a corner kick, he circled to the penalty area and then responded. Casemiro failed to keep up. Van Dijk unexpectedly fell off after taking off. Kompany A blunt header smashed the ball into the goal!

Ter Stegen had no time to make a save!

After the goal, Kompany rushed into the goal and ran towards the center circle with the ball in his arms.

The captain of Manchester City still has a very eye-catching performance at critical moments!

"Kompani's header! Man City get it back at home!
This goal will greatly boost Manchester City's morale, and the timing is also very good, at least they did not allow Liverpool to have a two-goal lead for a longer period of time!
It seems that Manchester City needs to become more active in their style of play!
Now Manchester City is only one goal behind Liverpool! "

Pellegrini is still quite excited about the team's goal, but it is self-deception to say that Manchester City has no risk in playing this way.

Yaya Toure's performance in the front of the opponent's penalty area is very eye-catching in offense, but what about defense?

How did Manchester City concede the second goal?

Vividly ah!
Situ Yunbing is still calm and composed, losing the ball will not make him panic, never!

Compared with six years ago when he was a fledgling, he now has a confident aura on the sidelines. No matter what winds are blowing from east to west, from north to south, I will stand still!
Besides, Liverpool is still leading, there is no need to panic at all.

When Arsenal led by three goals in the Community Shield, he might have trembled in his heart six years ago, but now he is still as calm as water!

This represents his growth, is his mature expression.

Situ Yunbing, who has written his name into the history of the Champions League, is the most popular coach in this era!

It's others who fear him, not him who will be frightened because of trouble!

After Liverpool re-kick-off, Manchester City hopes to take advantage of the victory to pursue!

In their view, the tactical plan before the game can already be swept into the trash can!
Maybe Pellegrini wants to make Manchester City face Liverpool like Chelsea!
Manchester City beat Liverpool once last season, that was in the League Cup, when Liverpool sent a substitute lineup, it can be said that that victory has no reference significance for Manchester City!
And Chelsea defeated Liverpool in the league, ending Liverpool's undefeated golden stature that was almost halfway through at that time. At the same time, in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, Chelsea challenged Liverpool as a guest and persisted for more than 70 minutes before being broken by Liverpool!

Chelsea may seem unlikely to beat Liverpool in terms of results, but after a serious study of the game, we know that Chelsea is the team most likely to beat Liverpool and bring Liverpool a heavy blow.

At least that's how it's played.

The teams that dared to confront Liverpool all died miserably. Real Madrid's final defeat in the Champions League final last year is the best proof.

Manchester City borrowed from Chelsea, but it's a bit imitative!
Pellegrini can't do what Mourinho can do in order to increase his winning rate regardless of the negative reviews from the outside world!
The Manchester City team can't completely obey Pellegrini's orders.

Differences lead to gaps in effectiveness.

The opening 20 minutes has proved that Manchester City can't learn from Chelsea, and the players spontaneously counterattacked and scored goals, so let's just fight Liverpool vigorously!

Let it be a flood!

Done!

When Manchester City tried to make persistent efforts to launch a counterattack against Liverpool, Liverpool used a tougher defense to suppress them back!

In the 42nd minute of the game, when Yaya Toure assisted again, Silva was entangled by Kanter and struggled to control the ball for a kickback and then passed the ball to Yaya Toure. This time the pass was smooth, but Yaya Toure ran too far, causing Casemiro and Yaya Toure to take a close-fitting press. When the two competed for this opportunity, they needed to restart, and at the same time, they also affected each other's speed.

Van Dijk was the first to start. When Yaya Toure used his body to block Casemiro and was about to take control of the ball, Van Dijk took the first step to kill the ball from the side and walk forward!
This time Manchester City's defense was exposed to Liverpool's fast-break firepower!
Van Dijk sent the ball straight to Lewandowski who retreated to respond.

Fernando was close to marking, and Lewandowski stretched out a kick to knock the ball back directly, and immediately turned around and forward after the ball was taken.

Eriksson followed up and sent a diagonal pass!

Gareth Bale made a quick inward cut to touch the ball, and then vigorously slammed the ball behind Clichy. Skim around!

The speed of the wind made Manchester City's defense frightened!

When the Manchester City defender took the initiative to mark Lewandowski in defense, Gareth Bale knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area before the baseline!
After Kompany and Demichelis made an emergency stop, it was too late to go up again.

What caught my eye was Coutinho followed up, stopped and adjusted well, and shot angrily on the penalty area line!

The football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal without a trace of rotation!

Joe Hart almost collapsed!
Liverpool's shots are threatening, although he has made some wonderful saves today, but like this kind of opportunity, the effect of Liverpool's shots is to make the goalkeeper feel desperate!

When the football flew into the goal against the right post, Coutinho turned and ran to the sidelines to celebrate!
The Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium were full of helplessness!

"Coutinho scored! He hit a corner!
An assist from Gareth Bale!
After Manchester City's frontcourt attack was intercepted, Liverpool's fast break directly took away their defense line!
Destruction!

Manchester City fell behind by two goals again, and their striker needs to perform better!
It can be said that Nasri is almost invisible today, and he made two turnovers and was intercepted, but Pellegrini seems to have no better choice.

They need a winger like Gareth Bale from Liverpool, Ribery from Bayern Munich, Robben, etc., who are capable of bringing absolute pressure and threat to the opponent's defense!

If the offense cannot pose a threat and more troops need to be mobilized from the midfield, then Manchester City will take greater risks in defense!
Liverpool leads Manchester City 3:1! "

Pellegrini was overwhelmed, Manchester City was beaten by Liverpool at home, and his thinking was a little messed up!
They are groping for how to contain Liverpool, but want to suppress Liverpool, swinging back and forth between different ideas is the biggest problem!

Whether Mourinho or Guardiola, including Situ Yunbing, the top coaches in European football today, they have never had such confusion, including Ferguson and Wenger, never entangled in what to do Do it, but since you have chosen the direction, you must do it to the extreme!
The Manchester City generals are also quite exhausted. Facing the mighty Liverpool, they may feel helpless for the first time in these years!

At the stage of just rising, Manchester City can use the time they need to comfort themselves and inspire greater motivation when they lose.

However, at the current stage of the club's development, under the background of the overall maturity, if it takes time to talk about it, then it is really time to evade reality.

They don't need time, they need victory, record, honor, and championship, but they don't need time anymore!
Just like Situ Yunbing's request for Liverpool since last season, except for the championship, everything else is nonsense!

The same is true for Manchester City now, because you can't expect Kompany, Silva, and Aguero to have a qualitative leap from their current strength after one season, that's absolutely impossible!
They are already great!

The only problem is how to make these outstanding stars play the greatest combat effectiveness together, so the responsibility falls to Pellegrini again.

Because of this, both the players and the coaches of Manchester City are a little confused. They can beat many teams, but if they can't conquer the mountain of Liverpool, they will have nothing to do with the glorious champion!
Situ Yunbing applauded Coutinho's goal, and at the same time, he was thinking about whether to light the fire in the second half to stimulate Manchester City!
In the last few minutes of the first half, neither team achieved anything. After the referee blew his whistle to end the first half, Pellegrini walked into the player tunnel with a heavy heart.

The Liverpool fans in the stands praised the team's performance in the first half with warm applause and cheers!
On the other hand, the Manchester City fans were worried and obviously depressed.

In fact, if you ask them what is wrong with the team, they can't see it, but if they can't play, their skills are not as good as others, that's all!

If you insist on finding a way to beat Liverpool, where can Liverpool go to reason?
The money has not been wasted in these years, the team is running well, and it is reasonable to become stronger. When Barcelona was at its peak, there were countless teams that lost to them, and they are still very strong today!

This is the reality, no matter how bitter it is, you have to swallow it!
