Chapter 238 Obsession is very important (1100)

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Benitez really made a substitution, and there were two substitutions in one substitution.

Veteran Hyypia replaced Skrtel.

This is a very helpless choice.

Agger was injured and unable to play. The veteran Hyypia may not perform better than the teenager Skrtel, but Benitez must be replaced.

One can only hope that Hypia's experience will help.

As for the other substitution, Riera replaced Robbie Keane, who was watching the show in the first half.

If you want to watch a play, come down and watch!
Strictly speaking, Robbie Keane didn't watch the show either, he just used his undercover performance to prove that he was not suitable for Liverpool.

As for Riera who came on, well, he is also Benitez's Spanish fellow.

Riera is a left midfielder. As a Spanish player, he has good skills at his feet and has an excellent cross.

Of course, when Benitez sent Riera, it was more necessary to use Riera's foot skills to increase the midfielder's outlet points, thereby strengthening Liverpool's control over the midfielder.

People who study tactics are especially fond of digging into dead ends.This time, Benitez showed a strong confidence.

Yes, unlike the last time they played against Manchester City, Benitez began to believe in himself crazily again in this game.

Before the game, he thought that his midfielder had an advantage. Even when he fell behind 0:2, Benitez still held his diamond midfielder.

Don't let go!

All in all, in a way, Benitez is a complete madman.

But if you are not crazy, you will not survive. If you practice hard in one direction, you may really be able to get through the eight extraordinary meridians.

Ouyang Feng, who is number one in martial arts in the world, didn't he practice against the scriptures and pass the test in the end?

Perseverance is also important!

During the intermission, Benitez still wants to strengthen the control of the midfield.Holding a small notebook, he made a detailed division of labor for everyone in the midfield.Including the operation of the midfielder, the running position, and even the running route of the ball, all are explained.

Strive to be meticulous.

In this way, Liverpool's midfield, in addition to the diamond triangle formed by Alonso, Gerrard, and Mascherano, will also add Riera and Dirk, reaching five people.

In terms of numbers, they overwhelmed Manchester City.

Benitez wanted to surprise Manchester City in the second half.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City gave him a shock.

Seeing Manchester City's tactics in the second half, Master Bei almost suffered from an old cerebral thrombosis.

Manchester City actually didn't fight in the midfield, but played defense instead?

Do you want to lose face?
Do you want to lose face?
Do you want to lose face?
Master Bei asked three times in his heart, and almost suffered internal injuries.

Who would have thought that the midfield control that Manchester City fought for in the first half would be lost in the second half!

It's like a dark night, Benitez met a master, so he felt that he was meeting his opponent and would meet a good talent, so he set up a dragon gate formation and fought with this master for [-] rounds, and in the end he even got injured because of it. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

But during the day, I found myself wrestling with a wooden dummy all night.

It was the feeling of a punch hitting the air.

I was at halftime, but I made arrangements for the midfield!

Benitez stood by the side of the court, watching the opponents on the court fighting back and forth, he was very aggrieved, and the emotion that was being bred was called anger.

Shameless!

So despicable!

In the second half, Manchester City no longer competed in the midfield, but put up a defense. Even Shevchenko and David Silva frequently retreated to the midfield to participate in the defense.

The style of play that tried to control the midfield in the first half was completely gone.

After Manchester City gained a two-goal advantage, they huddled in their own half and played counterattacks in the second half. Isn't this too bachelor?
You guys are the defending champions, why don't you have any idol baggage?
If Duncan knew what Benitez was thinking, he couldn't help laughing: Can the burden of an idol be eaten?
Manchester City was still relegated last season. They didn't have the self-consciousness of being a championship team at all. On the contrary, they could always reveal a kind of heroism of peasant uprising and shrewdness of small-scale peasant economy.

When it's time to be wretched, never unrestrained.

Forget the UEFA Cup final last season, did Manchester City use rough tactics to bring down the Russian Super League champion Zenit?

Manchester City fans didn't think it was disobedient, but felt that their team was like a hundred and eight generals gathered in Liangshanshuipo, full of the crispness of doing justice for the sky.

So cool!

It's just that Benitez is depressed and wants to hit the wall.

"Too hooligan! There is no gentlemanly demeanor!" Benitez cursed.

What's the use of being a gentleman?

Three points into the pocket, is real!

What made Benitez aggrieved was not only Manchester City's defense, but also his 15-minute intermission deployment, which now looks like a joke.

Useless.

Because Manchester City has basically given up the midfield!
I have to admit that Manchester City under Duncan's coaching, after the season last year, coupled with the blessing of the eight-door golden lock team, is really tight in defense.

Manchester City's space restrictions are in place, and they don't give Liverpool enough space to display!

Without space, Torres couldn't rush forward, and Dirk Dirk and Riera's roles were also very limited, and Gerrard was seen by Yaya Toure as deadly, and he didn't have a chance to step forward.

As for Fellaini, he is always ready for high-altitude bombing.

There are no dead ends in the sea, land and air!
Although from the point of view of the situation, Liverpool took the initiative, but Manchester City's defense has always been orderly, with a clear division of labor.Even if Liverpool want to pass the ball into the penalty area, the penalty area is full of long legs.

Football has never passed successfully with more than three feet in a small space.

Liverpool's players are a bit stretched when it comes to footwork.

Needless to say, Gerrard, the leader of the team soul level, has a little rough footwork.

Mascherano is a defensive champion, offensively, and his footwork is a bit rough.

As for Alonso, as the core of the delay, he has good footwork, but it is a pity that he cannot quench his near thirst.

Although Riera is a Spanish player, the skill of taking the ball and breaking through is not in his skill tree.

Couitt is hardworking, but you can't expect embroidery from a battering ram.

At this moment, Benitez really wishes he had Habai.

But he didn't.

He could only see Liverpool's attacks, time after time, in vain.It's like the waves hitting the reef, although they have followed one after another, they all turned into foam in the end.

Benitez felt his heart was about to break.

He glanced up at the time and saw that it was 67 minutes into the second half.

It must be adjusted!

"Let Babel go to warm up and come back in 3 minutes!" Benitez took a deep breath and made up his mind.

3 minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Liverpool replaced a defender Arveiroa with right winger Babel.

At the same time to make adjustments, Push Dirk to the left winger, Liverpool formation adjusted to 343, full attack.

Subsequently, Manchester City also made substitution adjustments, and Sun Jihai replaced Shevchenko as a midfielder.

Aguero replaced Samaras, leaving a small fast spirit with excellent speed in the frontcourt.

Sun Jihai's defensive area is very large. With him and Fellaini covering the gap together, even if Liverpool finds a gap, it will be filled quickly in the end.

Benitez nearly scratched his anxious hair.

The Manchester City players gave full play to Duncan's tactical intentions.They tightened up their defense and took full advantage of the squeeze space, not leaving Liverpool even a single stitch.

If it can't be stopped, he will foul in a non-dangerous place to prevent Liverpool's cooperation from fighting.

Or simply don't foul, but use small moves to make Liverpool players lose the ball.

It made Liverpool very uncomfortable.

Especially Torres.

Torres tried a personal breakthrough, but was caught in Manchester City's crowd tactics, lost in the vast ocean of the people.

So Benitez made adjustments and tried to let Torres pull out of the penalty area and drop back to catch the ball, but in that case, the distance from the goal was too far, and Torres only got a long-range shot from a bad position.

The time came to the 82th minute.

After attacking wildly for most of the time, Liverpool's offensive rhythm suddenly slowed down.

Attacking is exhausting.

Liverpool is out of power.

They fought hand-to-hand with Manchester City with their inferior forces in the first half, and they raged around Manchester City for a long time in the second half.

The stamina bar has been exhausted to the limit.

On the contrary, Manchester City, under the leadership of Fellaini and Sun Jihai, is still very impressive in defense, and the overall formation remains orderly.

These guys are too good at running.

Liverpool, who are getting stronger and stronger, suddenly feel a little discouraged at this time.

Manchester City's fence is so tight, there is no chance at all!

Only Gerrard was still running, beckoning his teammates to press on.

At the last moment, Gerrard's relentless press finally won a corner kick for the team.

When the football came out, Gerrard tried his best to fight for the top, but Fellaini had already planned the landing point of the football, and immediately flew the football up.

The football was still flying in the air, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

2: 0!

Manchester City beat Liverpool at home!

At the same time, they tied Liverpool in the standings with 14 points.

But with the advantage of goal difference, Manchester City ranked first!
