Chapter 269 The Unyielding Liverpool (32100)

So when he got Manchester City's list before the game, Benitez was a little surprised.

Manchester City actually dispatched all the main players?

Benitez really didn't know whether he should be honored or whether Duncan was playing with fire.

This kind of game leads by [-] points, and the next game is the League Cup final against Manchester United. Ten out of ten people will definitely choose to rotate.

But Duncan is not the one in the Three Realms.

Benitez shook his head, really not knowing whether to call Duncan crazy or an idiot.

But Benitez was not surprised.

At any time, the head coach of a team will not put the key to the outcome of the game on "the opponent may send a substitute lineup".

So at the beginning, although Benitez paid attention to Duncan, he never put the principles of tactical formulation on Manchester City.

Instead, make arrangements according to the actual situation of your own team.

At this time, Benitez appeared to be more mature than before.

From the first time I faced Manchester City, I put all my attention on Duncan, and then I completely focused on me, asking the team to control the audience.

Now, facing Manchester City's last stand.

In fact, Benitez has also been growing up, groping for a solution to Duncan.

The fights again and again, although they have been failing, have also allowed Benitez to grow.

Failure is success damn it!

In this game, Benitez made very thorough and meticulous preparations.

More importantly, Benitez rarely spoke before the game, abandoning the war of words that he has been awkwardly insisting on this season.

He returned to his field of expertise, tactical research.

And of course, there's the vibe of Last Stand.

Benitez feels that he is completely like a weakling who has been pushed into a corner, and it is time for him to unleash his full combat power.

There is also the passionate character of the Liverpool team.

It can also be said to be the characteristic of never admitting defeat.

The Liverpool team, under adversity, has the BUFF bonus of mental power.

They are like berserkers who sell blood, and they are often beaten to death before they break out in combat.

Well, this is a protagonist template.

At least Benitez thinks so.

Now that Manchester City has sent all the main players, let's fight.

……

The game went well, at least against Liverpool.

Liverpool's long preparation time and extremely targeted tactics caught Manchester City by surprise.

Liverpool took the lead in the 12th minute, and it was precisely the two players that Manchester City froze in the previous game that made this goal.

Gerrard passes the ball and Torres scores.

Otamendi made a mistake and missed Torres, giving the Spaniard time to adjust and shoot.

After scoring the goal, Torres ran excitedly, just like a child at Anfield.

And the home lead is ahead of the leaders, which is also something that makes the KOPs very crazy.

In Anfield, the most indispensable thing is passion.

"Perhaps, the fans of Manchester City at this moment must be very surprised. They wanted to win a victory, but in the end they were hit in the head."

"Joe Hart should bear the greatest responsibility for this goal, but Otamendi, who replaced Thiago Silva, should also admit some responsibility, at least he did not appear at the critical moment. Help Joe Hart special."

"I am used to the situation of leading and falling behind at the beginning of the game. It should make Manchester City feel very strange. After falling behind by one goal and being passive on the scene, Manchester City is dangerous in this game!" the commentator analyzed.

Duncan stood in front of the visiting team's bench at Anfield. He was also paying attention to his own team's performance. He shook his head, "It's still a bit careless!"

Although the team's physical fitness is not a problem, after all, after a season of consecutive victories, the team has become accustomed to the feeling of scoring first and then winning.

Feeling behind?Feeling passive?
Very strange.

So strange that I don't know how to deal with it.

And of course Otamendi's appearance.

No matter how strong Thiago Silva is, it is impossible to start all the more than 50 games in the whole season. Otamendi's training and playing are inevitable rotations.

After the opening, Liverpool used frequent position changes and fast speed to make the whole team run quickly.As soon as they started, they took advantage of their abundant physical strength and the whole team started to run.

Although these running positions are messy, they are very organized, obviously carefully arranged by Benitez.

Skillful embroidery is Benitez's forte.

And the players of Manchester City were also a little confused by Benitez's running around.

And Benitez, who started as a defender, showed his housekeeping skills in this game.

When attacking, interspersed and ran, when defending, defended layer by layer, using every corner to press Manchester City.

The Manchester City players were so disorganized and passive everywhere.

Then Otamendi made a mistake and the gift was successful.

"We must take back control as soon as possible!" Jim Cassell saw the key point of this game.

Duncan nodded.

The players were a little confused. Continuous high-intensity games, although there is no problem with physical fitness, but mental strength is also a consideration.

Especially when playing against a strong team, you need to maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the game.

The spirit-gathering array can't make up for the mental exhaustion.

And the team has been winning and winning, and it has formed inertia.

This kind of headwind ball, on the contrary, is not very used to it.

Duncan suddenly felt a little grateful to Benitez. If they met Real Madrid under such circumstances, it must be a disaster.

But Liverpool's game, like a stimulating needle, gave Manchester City a taste of the long-lost passive situation.

Maybe losing this game is also a good option?

This thought only lasted for a moment before being thrown out of Duncan's mind.

The real football game is not an FM game. In FM games before the big battle, losing the ball can save character, but in a real football game, losing on purpose is quite degrading.

Must win!

Liverpool's defensive tactics are actually not very clever, but they rely on their abundant physical fitness and unlimited running, as well as the mental power BUFF bonus on the next attack.On both ends of the offense and defense, they played very well.

For Liverpool, this is almost the most important game of the season.

Because this season is the closest they have been to the Premier League championship in 20 years.

They don't want to give up.

They have an extreme desire for the championship!

So this game, in the final analysis, is a matter of momentum.

Liverpool's perseverance and the spirit of never admitting defeat made the players a little confused.

Is this the key to cracking Manchester City found by Benitez, the spiritual victory method?
During the intermission, Duncan made some adjustments, encouraged Otamendi who made a mistake, and boosted the morale of the whole team, but Manchester City still did not improve in the second half, and the situation was still under Liverpool's control.

An adjustment has to be made.
