Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 933 A Heavy Hammer!
At the Etihad Stadium, both teams are relatively cautious in the confrontation between Liverpool and Manchester City. Even if they make a move, they will not go all out!
However, Liverpool failed to seize the opportunity after several consecutive threats and offensives, which really made Situ Yunbing a little reconciled.

As the end of the season approaches, Situ Yunbing will naturally be very utilitarian. As long as Liverpool can take the lead in the score, he would rather consume Manchester City to death than take any more risks!
But the scene of passing by the goal many times gave him an ominous premonition.

In the 36th minute of the game, Manchester City attacked in the frontcourt. Aguero took the initiative to retreat and then cooperated with Silva hitting the wall. After the ball hit the middle of the penalty area to contain Kante, Aguero quickly knocked the ball across right road.

After Mahrez stopped the ball, he was pressed by Robertson. He stepped back and De Bruyne advanced. He immediately passed the ball diagonally. As soon as De Bruyne stopped the ball, he saw his former teammate Kan Te rushed towards himself, and Henderson retreated to the middle of the penalty area.

Mahrez pushed forward to drive Robertson to follow up. De Bruyne knocked the ball back to Silva without waiting for Kanter to get close. At this time, Kanter decisively retreated to cover Coulibaly, because Couliba Lee is bound to block De Bruyne's forward threat.

After Silva stopped the ball and adjusted, he passed the ball over the top and sent the ball into the left rib of the penalty area. Sterling quickly cut in and got rid of Azpilicueta. Seeing that the ball was about to be touched, Van Dijk took the first step back to prevent the kill To destroy the ball out of the bottom line!
call!
Liverpool fans are also very thrilled. If Sterling took the lead to touch the ball just now, Aguero, who crossed the center with a cross, would have outflanked it!
Situ Yunbing focused on Manchester City's offensive organization in the frontcourt with a dignified expression.

Because it can be said that Guardiola played a double midfielder configuration.

Both Silva and De Bruyne are in the middle of the frontcourt, and the two have always maintained a sense of offensive hierarchy, which makes Manchester City's ability to control the ball very strong when attacking!

Especially when Liverpool did not play a three-man midfield configuration.

Manchester City took a corner kick and the football was cleared by Van Dijk with a header in the middle of the penalty area. Henderson rushed to the outside of the penalty area with a header and then relayed the ball to the wing. Robertson stopped the ball and calmly faced Mahrez's counterattack , dialed the ball to change direction and passed it, then made a diagonal pass with one foot on the ground and sent the ball to the middle circle!
Mbappe started quickly from behind the center circle, and when Otamendi tried to clear the siege, he poked the ball forward like a superficial touch. After dodging Otamendi, he was on par with Stones!

When chasing back for 5 meters, Stones was overtaken by Mbappe to preemptively control the ball and dribble forward!

Almost single-handed!

The Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium were suddenly terrified!

Caballero was ready to attack, but when Mbappe just entered the dangerous zone of attack, Fernandinho put a shovel from the side and rear and knocked Mbappe to the ground!
Mbappe rolled on the ground and stood up directly, and wanted to chase the ball again, but Caballero had already rushed out of the penalty area and kicked the ball to the frontcourt!

Mbappe immediately turned to look at the referee and heard the whistle!

The referee did not wait for the others to react, and had already shown Fernandinho a yellow card!
Boos immediately echoed at the Etihad Stadium!

From Red Army fans!

"Yellow card? The referee actually decisively showed Fernandinho a yellow card for this foul!

This is obviously a one-shot!
This is completely taking care of the home team Manchester City!

This decision is bound to cause huge controversy! "

Liverpool's players surrounded the referee and said they could not understand why it was not a red card.

Situ Yunbing also rushed to the fourth official on the sidelines angrily and scolded that the penalty was ridiculous!
"Can you still play like this? Our one-handed golden opportunity was destroyed by a foul, and only the price of a yellow card is needed?!
Simply ridiculous!
He is not worthy of law enforcement at this level of competition!

He should be refereeing an amateur football game! "

Situ Yunbing lost his temper. Even though the referee knew that Situ Yunbing was furious, he didn't go to warn Situ Yunbing.

Probably the anger of the Liverpool players has been well expressed to him. If he warns Situ Yunbing again, he may not be able to suppress Liverpool even more!
While Guardiola had lingering fears, he could only remain calm.

If you get a good deal, you can have fun on your own, and then trying to be a good boy is tantamount to asking for money.

A great opportunity for Liverpool was gone.

Fortunately, Mbappe was not injured.

Liverpool's free kick attack was too far away from the goal, so they could only play one tactic, but this time the football that Henderson hoisted into the penalty area flew directly out of the baseline.

Situ Yunbing was still angry, he knew it was caused by too much pressure.

He kept telling himself to be calm and not to affect his emotions and mentality because of the pressure.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester City successfully defended in the backcourt. Clichy cut off Sane's through ball to Mbappe when he returned to the penalty area.

Then Manchester City launched a fast-break counterattack. Yaya Toure sent a precise diagonal pass from the front of the penalty area. The football rolled to the right of the front field and Mahrez kicked Gareth Bale towards him. When the ball was hit horizontally, De Bruyne took advantage of the situation to push the ball forward, and passed the ball straight ahead before Henderson got close.

Aguero kicked the ball back to find Silva one meter away from Kante.

Liverpool's central disadvantage is very obvious. When Silva and De Bruyne form a double midfielder to organize an attack, Liverpool's double midfielder is very passive.

This is actually one of the reasons why the British traditional 442 is gradually falling behind and being defeated by the three midfielder system.

Silva pushed forward and then pushed forward. Sterling crossed to the left of the penalty area. When Kanter intercepted Silva, the latter knocked the ball across to find Mahrez who quickly inserted on the wing. .

When Mahrez quickly advanced to the bottom, he took the initiative to cooperate with Aguero who was running to meet the wall. At the same time, Sterling and De Bruyne advanced into the penalty area, Kanter returned to the penalty area, and Henderson also Follow De Bruyne.

Mahrez crossed the ball in front of the baseline. When Liverpool's defense line had retreated into the penalty area, Situ Yunbing frowned slightly on the sidelines. Manchester City's style of play would definitely lead Liverpool's defense line by the nose!
Mahrez sent the ball with a cross, and the football fell to the top of the penalty area!
But Silva, who was unmarked, stopped the ball there and adjusted and kicked comfortably to shoot!

Van Dijk retreated too deep because he had marked Sterling before!
Kanter also went to limit De Bruyne's response.

Liverpool's defense against Silva was completely lost at this moment!
The football shot by Silva flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Ter Stegen jumped to the limit but failed to touch the football!

When the picture of the football hanging straight into the dead corner came into view, the Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium roared excitedly!

ecstatic!

Guardiola couldn't help but clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted!

This goal is very critical, which will give Manchester City a very favorable position in the strategic situation!

Situ Yunbing's fire, which had been suppressed just now, flared up again!

The referee missed me!
If Manchester City played one less player, it would be absolutely impossible for them to play such an offensive!

Because the current offensive is relatively balanced, but it is impossible to maintain balance if one less person is beaten!

Silva ran outside the corner flag to celebrate the goal, and the Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium jumped shoulder to shoulder and danced the Poznan dance.

"Silva! Silva's long-range shot broke the deadlock!

Wonderful goal, unparalleled long-range goal!
Manchester City showed a Guardiola-style wonderful offense this time!
After continuous delicate cooperation, Mahrez sent an assist to Silva in the front pass from the bottom line in the penalty area!
In this contest where both teams were very restrained, Manchester City took the lead in scoring. I don't know if this will make Liverpool more active in the next game time!

But to be honest, they have already put the team's strongest lineup on the field, but the injuries of midfielders Casemiro and Eriksson have a greater impact on them!

Now it's up to Situ Yunbing how to deal with the current situation. "

Guardiola immediately gestured to the team after celebrating the goal, telling them to withdraw and strengthen their defense!

At this time, I really have to be a man with my tail between my legs!

If there is any painful lesson from Guardiola in the Premier League, it is that the world is sinister, don't be too arrogant!

Situ Yunbing was absolutely right to criticize him before, he lacks respect for the Premier League!
He thought he could sweep the Premier League, but now he has to adapt to the Premier League because of the characteristics of the Premier League!

It was hard work to gain the lead, and he didn't want to ruin a good situation because of carelessness or carelessness.

Situ Yunbing's face sank like water, and now he also needs to calm down and think about how to deal with it.

It's not that Liverpool can't pose a threat to Manchester City, but it's just a little short of scoring.

As for Manchester City's offense, he really needs to think carefully to deal with it.

He first kept the team calm and there was no need to mess up.

After Liverpool re-kicked off, Gareth Bale first tried a long shot from the left side of the penalty area. The football went straight to the far corner of the goal, but Caballero finally saved the bottom line!

Guardiola still has a headache!
The yellow card on Fernandinho made him restless, and because of this, the intensity of the defense against Gareth Bale also dropped significantly!

Because he was afraid that he would get a second yellow card and end up in red.

It can be said that the yellow card given to Fernandinho by the referee before was already lenient, and he must not make mistakes and act out of line.

Guardiola looked dignified. He guessed that Situ Yunbing's adjustments during the intermission would definitely use Gareth Bale's side as a breakthrough point!
How should Manchester City respond?
Reinforce the defense early?

Or use the advantage of field control to control the rhythm?
Guardiola knew that his adjustment during the halftime break would be crucial. If he could not predict correctly, he would be easily caught off guard by Situ Yunbing!
Even though Manchester City is leading now, Guardiola seems to be more nervous than Situ Yunbing!
