Chapter 364 Duncan's Layout
Benitez did not expect that when he was strong in the last few seasons, he would not be able to score three points against Manchester City.

But this season, when he was weak, he took the lead on the court?

In the ensuing game, Duncan replaced Shevchenko, who was in poor form, with Samaras to strengthen the offense.

Shevchenko, who was substituted, was a little disappointed, but he also knew that his condition was not good, and it was reasonable to be substituted.

He silently walked to the bench, lowered his head, put on a cotton jacket, his expression was stiff, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what to think.

Duncan was standing on the sidelines, dispatching troops and shouting to the players.

The team is behind and a change has to be made.

Samaras is a pillar center, and he can form a fulcrum when he goes on the court, but the running distance taken away by Shevchenko when he is off the court needs other players to make up for it.

Benitez replaced another frontcourt player and added a defender.

He didn't expect that when he didn't want a three-pointer, the team suddenly had an excellent opportunity.

The next thing to do is to persevere!
Even in the lead, Benitez did not have the slightest desire to attack.

It is also acceptable to keep the ball, or take a point after being scored by Manchester City.

This is Benitez's most practical idea.

The experience of playing against Manchester City made him never have any unrealistic ideas about three-pointers.

So, in the remaining half an hour, the KOPs witnessed their team being ravaged by Manchester City in [-] ways.

The 11 members of the team couldn't hold back, and whenever they had a chance, they kicked the ball into Liverpool's penalty area.

For half an hour, Liverpool played quite uncomfortable and ugly.

Benitez's only thought was to keep the goal.

Possession, shots, fouls, crosses...

Liverpool has fallen into a disadvantage in almost all statistics.

The only statistic they have the upper hand on is the number of goals scored.

Relying on Benitez's "non-offensive policy", Liverpool defended ugly and tenaciously to the end.

Manchester City's frantic bombing in the second half, the scene was out of control for a while, Manchester City's shots struck from various incredible angles.

However, it always misses the goal.

Even twice, hit the beam and the door frame.

In the most dangerous time, a small half of the football crossed the goal line, but it was still cleared by Liverpool defender Agger.

After the game, the pharmacies near Anfield were said to be out of stock of Suxiao Jiuxin Pills.

In the end, Manchester City could only accept the result of the away game and lost to Liverpool by one goal.

Even when the whistle blew, Benitez still couldn't believe it.

In the first two seasons, I wanted to beat Manchester City, but in the end I fell short.

This game only wants one point, but has the whole spring.

Benitez couldn't help but smile wryly.

These three points are more psychological and tactical.

Regarding the trend of Liverpool and Manchester City this season, there will be no fundamental changes. Manchester City and Liverpool are still 8 points behind in the standings!

In the comprehensive interview area, a reporter found Benitez and interviewed him about his experience in beating Manchester City.

Facing the reporter's question, Benitez wandered into the sky, thought for a while, and then answered solemnly: "Facing Manchester City, you must not have the slightest desire to win."

The reporter was stunned.

"Of course, in addition to this, there must be a little luck."

After finishing speaking, Benitez waved his hands, like a philosopher, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

The reporters who continued to be confused were left behind.

It is said that after seeing this report, Blackburn coach Allardyce and Villa coach O'Neill both liked it.

Fate!
Blackburn was the opposite, wanting three points, but Manchester City scored six goals madly.

Villa was positive, and O'Neal defended with all his strength and took away 1 point.

Liverpool did win, but only after Benitez gave up his "strong team" airs.

It's just that such a "weak" Benitez, without the temperament of a strong dialogue, may no longer meet the wishes of Liverpool's top management?
Leaving aside the stunned Benitez, the result of this game still left some changes in the standings.

Chelsea won this round, and they overtook Manchester City in the standings. With an advantage of 2 points, they once again topped the standings after six rounds.

Arsenal, ranked third, missed the opportunity to overtake. They lost 0:1 to Sunderland in the away game.

In this game, Arsenal had an overall advantage, but Van Persie missed several scoring opportunities.

After Wenger knew that Manchester City also lost, he sighed again and again, and even wanted to kill Van Persie as a sacrifice.

There will be no second time for such a chance to overtake!
It's just that in the world, I have never regretted selling medicine.

In this game, Ancelotti was full of gratitude to Liverpool. When they needed a victory, Liverpool lost to them and sent three points. When they needed the top spot, Liverpool beat Manchester City and held them up.

It really is the Red Army!

Chelsea, who successfully overtook Manchester City, took the lead in the 15 rounds of encounters.

Except for Shevchenko's poor state, other players are fine.After all, the team has the upper hand, all that is missing is a goal.

On November 11th, in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City played against Standard Liege at home.

Manchester City, where the youth army played, lost 2:3 at home to Liege.Manchester City suffered a two-game losing streak in all competitions.

But already qualifying ahead of schedule, Duncan obviously doesn't care about the results.

Back in the Premier League, in the 14th round of the league, Manchester City played against Hull City at home.

And this game is also the last game of the two teams before the big battle with Chelsea.

Manchester City played against Hull City at home, and Chelsea challenged Arsenal away.

Arsenal narrowly lost the last round, and if they lose this round, they will probably be left behind.And Arsenal's state this season is as erratic as Liverpool's. Although unstable, they can beat any opponent.

Therefore, if Chelsea want to ensure that they maintain their current leading position in the game against Manchester City, they must devote more energy and physical strength in this game.

It is even more necessary to send more main players to play.

When Ancelotti was considering the formation, he sometimes wondered, did Duncan lose on purpose, creating such a situation where he and Chelsea had to go all out?

If this is the case, then Duncan's layout ability is simply terrible.

But already in this form, Ancelotti can only hold his nose, even if he knows that there is a big pocket trap in front of him.

The game between Manchester City and Hull City took the lead.

This game is also considered the least suspenseful game.

The final result, as everyone expected, Manchester City defeated Hull City 1:0 and took all three points.

At the same time, put the pressure on Chelsea.

Arsenal's offensive power is super strong this season. In 14 games, they have scored 40 goals, ranking first among the 20 teams in the Premier League.

Therefore, if Ancelotti's team wants to suppress Arsenal, it must send all the main players.

And Ancelotti did exactly that.
