Chapter 125 Red Army, You Are Here

When Laporte played, Wang Yi was on the sidelines.

"How about it, Emmerich, let me tell you, you won't be under too much pressure, it's 3-0 now, just play!"

In this game, before 70 minutes, Wang Yi had scored one assist and one assist.

Wang Yi, who failed to score in 4 rounds, finally scored again, and the number of goals reached 26.But even if they didn't score in 4 rounds, Salah and Kane behind them couldn't catch up with Wang Yi.

Salah scored 21 goals and Kane scored 20, so even if Wang Yi failed to score in 4 rounds, the media could not hack him. If the black king scored one, then Salah and Kane behind him What if the entry is not as good as his, isn't it all black?

Just as Wang Yi said, Laporte played without any burden in his heart.

The first joint practice was the day before yesterday, and we played today, and this kind of thing happened.

Until the end of the game, the score was still 3-0.

"It is indeed the same as in the video. The speed is fast and the header is good. The header just now is not bad. The ball control and the ball are good, but there is a problem with concentration. You need to pay more attention to this aspect. The physical fitness is also good. It is true. Much better than Stones."

Guardiola watched the video repeatedly after the game, and finally gave this summary.

Although it is a pity that Van Dijk could not be bought, it seems that Laporte is still better than Stones.

The next round of the league will be on January 1, and the opponent is Liverpool with Van Dijk.

There are two games in between, one is the FA Cup game against Burnley.

Wang Yi will not play in the FA Cup. This was discussed with Guardiola long ago. Sane performed well in this game and scored 2 goals. In the end, Manchester City beat their opponents 4-1 to advance to the next round.

The other game is the League Cup semi-final against Bristol City.

Because the opponent was relatively weak, Guardiola directly rotated, even though it was already the semi-finals of the League Cup.

In the first round of Manchester City's away game, they beat their opponents 5-2. The second round will have to wait until January 1.

However, Wang Yi did not play in the two domestic cup matches. This is probably a means for Guardiola to balance Wang Yi and Sane. Guardiola does not want to let Sane go.This is the only way to go.

Wang Yi is still a little dissatisfied with not being able to play in the semi-finals of the League Cup. It is fine not to play in the first few rounds of the League Cup or the first few rounds of the FA Cup. Give Sane a chance, but he is not allowed to play until the semi-finals .

Wang Yi admits that he just wants to play all the games, he feels his energy is very strong, but at the same time he also understands why Guardiola does this.

In the end, in the discussion between Wang Yi and Guardiola, it was decided that Sane would complete the League Cup.

If the FA Cup reaches the semi-finals, Wang Yi will be given a chance.

Wang Yi won this opportunity, but he felt a little dull in the end.

After two cup games, Manchester City will go to Liverpool.

Will Liverpool have climbed to No.4.

"Liverpool has been in great form recently, winning 4 consecutive victories and directly reaching the Champions League."

"Their opponents are also very weak. We are the only top six team they have encountered in the past few games. But it is true that we must pay attention. Salah, who they joined this season, is really eye-catching on the field. "

"Mane is also quite strong."

"Mane's physical fitness is really good and his speed is fast, but he often dribbles and does not pass the ball, and his skills are a bit rough. Salah's skills are also quite good."

"Liverpool's attacking style this season is completely different from last season."

"Yes, Anderson, your observation is correct. Klopp has always wanted to implement his frontcourt press in Dortmund to Liverpool, but the lack of frontcourt personnel directly made it impossible to implement this tactic. Now Salah joins. , Their tactics have also changed, an upgrade is equivalent to, I call it crazy running!"

"Crazy running? Crazy running?"

"Yes, have you seen their previous game against Chelsea? It was crazy running and pressing in the frontcourt, and his players' tactical execution is very high. There is no need for a master in the midfield, and engineers are enough. This season They have changed their formation many times during the game, 442, 4231, 451. They are not the scariest this season, but the scariest thing may be next season. After they run in this season, there is Van Dijk, They will definitely be our biggest rivals in the championship next season."

Anderson doesn't understand why Guardiola values ​​Liverpool so much. You must know that they are only ranked fourth now. Shouldn't their biggest opponent next season be Manchester United, who ranks second?

Anderson couldn't bear it and asked directly.

"Pep, isn't Manchester United? They have done well this season, won't they be our biggest opponent next season?"

"Liverpool's players have strong tactical execution ability, but if you look at Manchester United's players, their tactical execution ability is too poor. Martial and Pogba are the first to bear the brunt. I don't think I can watch these two players. Too bad, and their two old and weak full-backs, how important full-backs are to modern football, you don’t need me to tell you, Manchester United is still using 30+ full-backs, this is really unexpected to me , and their right-sided attackers have always let Martial or Mata go. Their right-sided offense has not been available for so many years. If they strangle their left-sided, it will be easy to win the game. There is also a center forward, a Lukaku, an Ibrahimovic, you want to rely on the old man, or a center who always likes to pull the side, and is still very soft. I just say so many problems, so I am not optimistic at all They will still be in the top four next season, unless they can make a big splash in the transfer market, they won't even be able to make it to the Champions League."

Guardiola may be right or wrong.

After all, no one in the world knows everything.

Finally, the match day of the red and blue battle arrived.

The Manchester City team set off from a hotel just 10 minutes away from Anfield.

Wang Yi entered Anfield.

I saw that familiar corridor.

"Welcome to Anfield!"

Although this is Wang Yi's first visit to Anfield, Wang Yi has seen this famous corridor in many videos or photos.

Walking into the dressing room, Wang Yi immediately concentrated his mind. He had a point of view that was very similar to Guardiola's, that is, the top four teams. Liverpool was the team that threatened Manchester City the most. The other two teams, Tottenham and Manchester United was restrained by Manchester City in terms of tactical play, but Liverpool was different. Wang Yi had watched a lot of Liverpool games, and he knew that Liverpool’s crazy running style, if they really ran, Manchester City’s midfielder and backcourt would be difficult to parry. .

Therefore, the offensive player is very important, and it must be so strong that Liverpool dare not keep pressing.
