Chapter 161 Destruction of Opportunities
Therefore, Guardiola waved his hand, and Jesus, who was replaced in the second half, went to the wing. He had to undertake the task of retreating and defending, while Wang Yi stayed at the forefront and waited for a counterattack at any time.

But at the beginning, he didn't have this opportunity at all.

And Liverpool also played a little more cautiously. They were behind in regular time and naturally played desperately, but now the two sides are on the same starting line again.

At this time, what if Manchester City hits a counterattack with a big pressure?
The physical fitness of Liverpool's team is actually at a low level now. Their high-pressure pressing tactics are quite exhausting. In the second half of regular time, they have been attacking all the time, although the energy consumption of passive defense is smaller. , but still not as active as regular time running.

Liverpool also started to play with the ball.

But if it is better than possession of the ball, Manchester City is not afraid at all. Wang Yi snatched the ball back from Chamberlain's feet and passed it to the midfielder Laporte without hesitation.

Laporte split the ball and passed the ball.

Manchester City started a long short pass cooperation.

Wang Yi also catches the ball from time to time.

Klopp saw it, no, if Liverpool used pass control to save physical energy, maybe the physical energy was not saved, and Manchester City would fight back instead.

So, in the last few minutes of the first half of early extra time, Liverpool resumed their high-pressure pressing tactics.

Seeing this, Manchester City quickly split sides, trying to divide Liverpool's central power.

Liverpool, on the other hand, was very resolute and went deep into the hinterland of Manchester City.

The double midfielders Laporte and Fernandinho quickly approached and stopped Firmino.

Wang Yi looked helpless at the front, he couldn't help much, and now Manchester City is being beaten passively again.

Will this situation continue until the second half of overtime?

The last few minutes of the first half of overtime also passed quickly.

Soon, Wang Yi found himself the only person on the field doing nothing, and the other one was Karius.

At this time, the busiest people on the field are Manchester City's defensive players.

Fortunately, the first half of overtime was over.

Strictly speaking, there is no rest period in the first and second half of overtime, and the second half of overtime should be started directly after the half-time swap. Some water or something.

It's a bit like the later hydration time in disguise.

Wang Yi sat on the ground, the team doctor hurried over and started massaging Wang Yi's thigh.

Wang Yi also took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest.

"Kevin, you can pass the ball to me later."

"Have you rested?"

"Don't worry, I didn't have anything to do in the first half. I stood there to recover my strength. I don't want to kick a penalty. Do you want to kick a penalty?"

"I don't want to either, okay, don't worry, I will find a chance to plug the ball for you in the second half."

Guardiola, who was already standing on the field at this time, heard the conversation between Wang Yi and De Bruyne.

One is the player with the most goals in the team, and the other is the player with the highest annual salary in the team.

The two just talked about the tactics in the second half like no one else, but Guardiola was not angry at all. Sometimes he has a strong desire to control, but in some places his desire to control is not so strong. He has always been a genius. Very tolerant.

Especially Wang Yi, he liked it very much, so he was very indulgent.

"Beep-"

The referee urged, Wang Yi stood up and walked to the other half.

The second half of overtime is about to begin.

De Bruyne also started to pass the ball to Wang Yi according to what he said just now.

115 minutes, 10 minutes after the second half of overtime, De Bruyne gave the third through ball in the second half.

This time Wang Yi got rid of Henderson and finally got the ball.

This was also the first time he had the ball in the second half. The first two passes were destroyed by Liverpool players. There was no way, Wang Yi was closely marked.

At this time, Liverpool pressed heavily, and Van Dijk, as the high point, had already gone to the frontcourt to grab the header.

At this time, there were only two players in Liverpool's half, one Arnold and the other Lovren.

As soon as Wang got the ball, he rushed forward. This time Lovren learned his lesson. When he saw Wang rushing, he backed up, keeping a certain distance, not too close, in case Wang Yi gave it to him next time.

Such an arrangement is obviously to arrange for Arnold to come forward and press down.

Wang Yi was a little anxious. To be honest, his physical fitness had recovered, but he was not in peak condition.

When he saw Arnold approaching, he was about to change direction immediately. Arnold guessed that Wang Yi didn't have much physical strength, so he thought it was impossible for Wang Yi to make a fake move, so he stepped down decisively. Unexpectedly, Wang Yi's move was a fake move.

Seeing that Wang had fooled Arnold, he pushed the ball forward and accelerated again.

"So it wasn't his full speed just now!"

Lovren was surprised.

But now the road ahead of him is very narrow.

He was still hesitating, but Wang Yi had already rushed over from Lovren's left side.

Lovren seems to be making a very difficult decision, here is still 35 meters away from the goal.

"Even a free kick is a long way. Destroy it!"

So, Lovren went straight to grab Wang Yi's right arm.

Wang Yi originally felt that he had seen the light of day, because Karius had already attacked near the penalty spot, and Wang Yi believed that he could definitely pass Karius and hit an empty goal.

Wang Yi could already think of that scene, but 1 second later, Wang Yi was directly dragged down unprepared.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

The referee blew several times, and the whistle sounded quickly.

"Wang Yi made a breakthrough! Hey! Hey! Lovren got his hands on it, what a great opportunity! This is definitely a red card, definitely a red card move."

"It's a great opportunity. Wang Yi's physical fitness is obviously insufficient. He still made a breakthrough. However, Wang Yi's single-handed ball has a very high success rate, especially against Karius. Wang Yi has scored 9 goals. , is the player who has scored the most goals against Karius in the Premier League, so we have every reason to believe that Wang Yi can score this one-handed goal, but all this was destroyed by Lovren-as expected , the referee showed a red card without hesitation, and Lovren seemed to know it, turned around and walked out of the field without even looking."

"Indeed, the location of the foul is still about 35 meters away from the goal, which is still relatively far away. It is not realistic to shoot directly. It is probably an indirect free kick again. It seems that Lovren also knows that if Wang Yi is allowed to pass If not, the probability of Wang Yi scoring is too high, after all, Wang Yi has scored a lot this season. Lovren is betting."

"Next we look at the free-kick - Kevin De Bruyne comes in and kicks - oops, high. Laporte hits the ball unmarked, but it's high. Time goes by. There is not much left, and there are still 2 minutes of overtime to end!"
