Chapter 252 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain

December 12, the day before the 29th round of the Premier League.

Manchester City's training base.

Guardiola and Wang Yi.

"About the Asian Cup."

"Pep, you don't need to say, I will definitely stay and play against Liverpool. After all, it is the most critical game for us to reverse the whole season. We can recover points if we win that game. I will stay in this game. Definitely kick!"

"Then where is your national team?"

"We faced Kyrgyzstan in the first Asian Cup group stage. The world ranking is more than 20 lower than our country. I think it can be won without me, relying on our overseas players. The second game is 11. No. In this way, I can leave on the 5th, and then I can practice with the national team for 5 days, which is enough. I discussed it with Mr. Lippi. There will also be a press conference at that time."

"That's good, it's mainly because I'm afraid it will affect your championship!"

"Then I may not be back until early February."

"Haha, if we can win Liverpool by then, I will be sure to win the rest of the games without you. I also hope that you can get the honor of a national team!"

Later, on the afternoon of BJ's time, Lippi held a press conference in Beijing.

He wants to specifically explain this situation.

After all, Wang Yi is the absolute top card of the national team.

So only ten minutes later, all the fans knew the news.

But Wang Yi didn't care about the national team at all.

All his thoughts are now on the club game in front of him.

against Southampton.

Wang Yi finally got his wish and regained the feeling of his feet.

At the end of the first half of the game, the opening goal broke the deadlock of the game.

In the end, Manchester City also relied on Wang Yi's goal to win the game.

Although it was not a big deal for Manchester City to win this kind of opponent before, after experiencing the loss, the soldiers of the Manchester City team had a strong sense of joy for winning this game.

It's just that Liverpool also won the game, beating Arsenal 5-1. On the other hand, Manchester City only won 1-0, so the public agrees that Liverpool will win the Premier League championship trophy for the first time.

"The 21st round of the league is the most important game of the Premier League this season. It can be said that the ownership of the championship throughout the season can be seen in this game. Manchester City is starting to recover, while Liverpool is advancing all the way. Manchester City At this time, there is still a gap of 8 points away from Liverpool. If Manchester City fails to win Liverpool in this Tianwangshan battle, then Liverpool's first Premier League title will almost be a fact, but if Manchester City wins the game, then Everything is still unknown. After all, after the UEFA Champions League knockout round in February, both teams will enter the double-lane schedule, and the status is still unknown."

And this game against Liverpool kicked off under the attention of the whole world.

Although the BJ time is early in the morning, it is not too late for the national football team that has assembled in the UAE, so the whole team watched the game together.

In fact, in the minds of national football players, Wang Yi is not a player, at least he is no longer a pure player.

He has become the totem of Chinese football, a myth.

In this game, Manchester City's starting lineup is still 433, and Liverpool is also 433.

Manchester City's starting lineup is Ederson, Zinchenko, Laporte, Stones and Walker, David Silva, Gundogan and De Bruyne in the midfield, Wang Wang in the frontcourt [-]. Aguero and Foden.

In short, it is a lineup without a midfielder, but there is a forward without a midfielder.

On Liverpool's side, the striker trident is Mane, Firmino and Salah, the midfielder is Wijnaldum, Henderson and Milner, and the backcourt is Robertson, Van Dijk and Love. Len and Alexander-Arnold, with Alisson in goal.

Although Liverpool performed exceptionally well this season, Salah's goals dropped sharply compared to last season. Last season, Salah did not surpass Wang Yi in goals, but the Premier League goals The number is also 30 goals, but this season has already been 20 rounds, and Salah's goals are only 10 goals, which is far behind Wang Yi's 21 goals and No.2 Kane's 18 goals.

So many people naturally think that Salah last season was just a season of super performance.

But without Salah, who played at a super level this season, Liverpool's results have surpassed last season.

The reason is that the defense line has been greatly stabilized. Van Dijk joined in the middle of last season and stabilized Liverpool's defense line. The most among the four teams, and after a complete preparation this season, the defense level led by Van Dijk has been further optimized.

And Mane's strong performance in the frontcourt also stabilized Liverpool's offense. Although Salah's scoring data dropped sharply, he was still online in terms of breakthrough passes, so a more balanced Liverpool appeared.

The defense is the best among the top four teams, conceding the fewest goals.

And Manchester City can't do it. It concedes the second most goals among the top four teams, and Manchester United has the most goals, but Manchester City has the most goals among the top four teams.

There is a great contribution of Wang Yi.

With the beginning of the first half of the game, the world-renowned Premier League Tianwangshan battle officially kicked off.

But the performance of the two teams in the first 20 minutes of the first half can be said to be surprising.

Because the offense of the two teams is very good, and they have played against each other on various fronts in the past two seasons, everyone thinks that the game between the two teams will be a confrontational battle, which is very exciting.

But in the first 20 minutes of the first half, the two teams played very slowly.

The two teams are testing each other, instead of attacking each other like many teams that have played many games. Maybe both sides value this game too much, so everyone played extremely cautiously.

In the end, Klopp decided to attack first.

"We have an advantage of 8 points. If we don't attack, it will be a joke!"

So Klopp waved his hand, and the Red Army's trident came forward.Opened the prelude to the attack.

And Manchester City had already prepared a defensive posture and withstood Liverpool's first wave of offensive.

But Liverpool's offensive is indeed like a tide.

However, after being suppressed against Klopp last season, Guardiola also changed some of his tactics. It is more to walk on both sides, and then let the center move flexibly. De Bruyne in the three midfielders plays a false nine, so that he can insert multiple points in the frontcourt and have multiple points in the frontcourt.

At this time, the full back will be pulled to the midfielder to help defend the center, and the other full back will be sent to the central defender, forming a temporary three central defenders.

This kind of formation change requires a lot of games to do experiments, and the tacit understanding between the players needs to be high enough.

And although I have tried several games before, and I have done well, but after all, I am facing Liverpool in today's game.

Whether it will work or not, Guardiola himself has no idea.
