Chapter 146 Start to fight back

Arnold is still one year older than himself, but like Wang Yi, he made his first-team debut in the 2016-17 season.

However, in the 16-17 season, although Arnold is very exciting, he only played 12 games this season, in various competitions.

Compared with Arnold's rookie season, Wang Yi played more than 40 games in Dortmund's first season.

It is an undoubted main level, and when the Bundesliga was second in the season, it broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League. In the end, Dortmund was eliminated because of his failure to play.

In this way, it seems that Dortmund relied on Wang Yi that season.

And this season, Arnold began to enter the main rotation sequence. So far, Arnold has played 24 times in various competitions for Liverpool.

Compared with Wang Yi's 40 appearances, the data is still a lot worse.

Although the two are not in the same position, there is no way to compare them, but what Wang Yi didn't know was that Arnold was very upset watching him. Naturally, it was because Arnold watched the entire game at home when the two teams faced off last time. Liverpool's right back was also very dissatisfied in that match. He felt that he would be able to defend Wang Yi if he replaced him.

And then, Arnold felt that the opportunity came.

More than 10 minutes before, Wang Yi was not very active on the wing, which made Arnold very anxious. He is a player with strong offensive and defensive attributes. The reason why Klopp did not dare to use him before is because if he wants to play Arnold is bound to let him continue to press, and his missing position needs someone to fill it. This person did not have a player in the Liverpool lineup who could take on this role, and now it is Van Dijk.

Van Dijk has this ability to help defend the space on the right when Alexander-Arnold goes forward to assist.

In terms of defensive ability alone, in fact, Arnold's defensive ability is really not as good as his offensive ability.

It's just that Arnold can't feel it himself, and it's normal. The British players themselves are a bit rough, and they are still defenders.

After the re-kick-off, Wang Yi ran back to the court.

"David, the boss just said—"

Wang Yi explained to David what Guardiola told him.

David understood as soon as he heard it, the legendary Spanish midfielder, what do you think? This is the ball quotient and game reading ability.

So next, before Wang Yi raised his hand to ask for the ball, David Silva went to get the ball and pass it, waiting to come to the side.

Otamendi saw that David Silva was asking for the ball, but after 10 minutes of pressing, Otamendi was really worried that the ball would be intercepted directly by the opponent when he passed it.

So he didn't pass it on.

"fxxk!"

David Silva thought Otamendi didn't see it, but he clearly saw Otamendi glance at himself, and then looked away.

David Silva couldn't help but curse out.

"What are you waiting for if you don't pass on such a good opportunity?"

David Silva couldn't help speaking his mother tongue.

The speed of speaking Spanish is very fast. Wang Yiben learned a little Spanish, but he didn't hear a single word of David Silva.

But just by looking at the expression, you can tell how angry David Silva is.

Going up to comfort him at such a time won't do much, Wang Yi just stands in his place, waiting for the pass.

And Otamendi turned around and passed it back to the goalkeeper.

But Liverpool's combat tactical plan has this link for the goalkeeper.

It's very simple, that is, one person goes up and presses the goalkeeper, forcing Ederson to make a wide kick and forcing him to make a long pass.

You must know that the goalkeepers in Guardiola's team are all required to have the ability to control the ball and pass the ball directly to the defender.

Even with a big kick, Guardiola's goalkeeper passed the ball accurately without interference.

But in the case of being forced and oppressed, the accuracy dropped a lot.

Edson's long pass was directly pushed down by Lovren in the backcourt. Jesus went to grab the ball with Lovren. The small body still has an advantage. After taking the ball, Lovren didn't go up, and directly knocked it to Van Dijk on the left.

This kind of physical confrontation made many Manchester City players extremely uncomfortable.

Take Manchester City's frontcourt as an example, the real physical confrontation is Wang Yi.

If Jesus and Sterling use their bodies in the middle and lower reaches of the team, they can use their skills to gain an advantage, but Liverpool has skills and can use their bodies. This kind of suppression of Manchester City is terrible.

But Manchester City is not just being suppressed and beaten like this.

Van Dijk passed the ball to Chamberlain in the middle, Fernandinho directly shoveled the ball away, and De Bruyne, who retreated, quickly got the ball, and a wide range transfer found David Silva .

Silva stopped the ball and plugged the ball directly behind Sai Arnold.

Although Arnold wanted to turn around to defend, Wang Yi was still a few feet away from Arnold.

Arnold was full of confidence, but just as he was about to get the ball, a wind came from around him.

Wang Yi squeezed over and got the ball first.

"Wang Yi—Wang Yi is very fast, a few body distances behind Arnold, but he still got the ball with his speed."

"It is said that Arnold ranked second in the speed test of the Liverpool team. But even with such an advantage, Arnold can't outrun Wang Yi."

After Wang Yi got the ball, Van Dijk quickly retreated and approached Wang Yi's side.

Without fear, Wang Yi rushed forward.

"Why does he keep retreating!"

Wang Yi was a little surprised, why didn't Van Dyke go up to grab it, but kept retreating.

"Never mind him! Just right."

Wang Yi dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of the top of the penalty area, and Van Dijk retreated into the penalty area.

Wang Yi didn't care, he flicked his right foot and shot directly.

"what?"

Van Dijk thought Wang Yi was going to enter the penalty area, but Wang Yi shot directly.

Van Dyke glanced back.

The ball is already in the penalty area.

Karius was dumbfounded.

His concentration is still not enough, because he is very relieved of Van Dyke, he thinks that Van Dyke can block Wang Yi to death outside the penalty area, so he is not focused at all.

But even if he was focused, would he be able to defend Wang Yi's dead corner just now?
"Van Dyke has been retreating all the time. Wang Yi's indomitable momentum is really domineering, Wang Yi! Wang Yi! With a flick of his right foot, he shot directly!!!"

"The goal was scored! Karius didn't react at all, Wang Yi scored a beautiful goal, and he rode a thousand miles alone!"

"Man City equalized and it's 1-1 now."

After Wang Yi scored a goal, he was very excited, but he was a little out of breath after running so far. He ran to the corner flag and punched the flagpole down.

The cheers from the Manchester City fans in the stands seemed to reinvigorate Wang Yi.

Wang Yi raised his right arm and shook it vigorously.
