Kompany walked up to Webb with the flag, and Gerrard arrived later.

Gerrard felt a little uncomfortable looking at the smile on Kompany's face, and he admitted that he was a little jealous, jealous that Manchester City might now win their first Premier League trophy, and that he was still far from winning the title after so many years.

"Hey! Good luck, Steve! After guessing, Kompany handed the Manchester City flag to Gerrard.

"Good luck, Vincent!" Gerald handed over the flag and smiled reluctantly.

When he returned to his own half, Gerrard couldn't help but glance at Wen Sheng on the side of the coach's box.

Wen Sheng is dressed very formally today, with a shirt and a suit inside, and a woolen coat outside, which looks very stylish, and his beard is cleanly shaved, and he looks very energetic.

"Alas, isn't it different when Wen comes to the team?!" Gerard had already had this idea!

Is Rogers bad?! Gerrard can't say, he thinks Rodgers is also very good, but the team is always not stable enough, and now it is more than 20 points behind Manchester City, and the championship is a dream!

Gerrard is disappointed with the current state of Liverpool but there is nothing he can do about it, all he can do is stay until the team no longer needs him.

"Even if it's going to be a disappointing season, I can't let Manchester City and Wensheng see our weakness!" Gerald shook his head, suddenly scrappy again.

......

"Kill the Liverpool guys!" Jock and Linton chanted loudly in the stands, and less than a minute into the game, De Bruyne received a pass from Sergio Aguero on the Manchester City side, and shot from outside the box on the right side, the ball drew a wonderful arc and almost hung into the corner of the Liverpool gate, and the fans in the stands cheered hard!

For Manchester City fans, Liverpool is now only a mid-table team, with only Suarez in the team and everyone else being rookies.

When Suarez and Van Dijk were seen facing off, "Stare him to death, Virgil!" The fans shouted.

When Suarez fell to the ground, the fans let out a shrill boo, "Liar! "Dirty Uruguayans!"

Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines with his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the game motionlessly.

As always, Manchester City always wanted to try to control the game and want to have more control of the ball, but it didn't go well today, but fortunately the backline was smart enough to not insist on controlling the tactics at the back, but from time to time to play long passes to Dzeko.

Liverpool's side is not at the bottom, Manchester City's two-back tactics, lacking a top playmaker, De Bruyne is close to the wing, giving Liverpool the opportunity to fight for midfield dominance with Manchester City's side, the two sides go back and forth on the pitch, but not many opportunities are created.

Both sides did a good job of intercepting in the midfield, Wen Sheng always let the team carefully carry out tentative attacks, Liverpool's Rodgers characteristics are much more distinct than Wen Sheng, he always tries to keep his team in control of the football, and then attack Manchester City's position, but unfortunately Manchester City's interception is indeed extremely solid, and the eight clean sheets are not in vain.

Wensheng has always maintained an iron triangle posture in the midfield, Van Dijk and Kompany and Barry form a triangle at the back, Dembele is cruising and maneuvering, and when necessary, he can rely on his excellent dribbling ability to break through in the middle, and the wings on the side attack are pressed together, and the full-backs will run up without scruples if they have the opportunity.

Compared with the usual style of play, Wen Sheng focused more on the side in this game, one to suppress the opponent's side, and the other is that he has great expectations for Costa's side, he hopes that Costa can make the opponent deflated, and De Bruyne's side should respond in the middle when necessary.

In just over ten minutes of the opening game, Costa who had just joined the team lacked some tacit understanding with his teammates, there were not many opportunities to get the ball, and there were no flashpoints, which made Wen Sheng a little suspicious, "Isn't this kid ineffective?!" ”

A player with strong explosive ability like Costa actually doesn't make much difference to any team, as long as you are willing to give him the ball and give him freedom, he can definitely pass, of course, the cross or something depends on the mood of the kid, and Zaha is the same as in the past, but Wensheng feels that Zaha and Costa have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Zaha has a body and is fast, but his feet are relatively not as freewheeling as Costa, Costa's advantage is that he has strong explosive power at his feet, but he will suffer a little bit in physical confrontation.

In order to deal with Costa's physical shortcomings, Wen Sheng asked the team to practice set-piece tactics for this purpose, and today I can't say that I want to let Rodgers taste the power of Manchester City's set-pieces!

In the 14th minute, Manchester City's positional battle attacked to the front, Liverpool players have returned to the defense in place, Manchester City either simply crossed something or had to think of a small range of ways to cooperate, at this time Costa on the left received Dembele's ball, started a personal performance, a croquette, a ball divided, and really let him kill the bottom line, but this kid is estimated to let the Liverpool defenders play the idea of own, and violently cross near the bottom line.

This kid is small, but the strength under his feet is not small, and he almost let the veteran Carragher block the ball into his own goal, Carragher stretched his leg for a gear, and the ball just grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

"Look! See?! The Brazilian kid is really powerful, such a small space has been drilled by him, and others can't do it at all! Linton applauded Costa's praise vigorously.

Jock's eyes also lit up, and his heart said, "This kid is really amazing!" ”

The fans applauded Costa's brilliance, but Costa himself regretted his choice and found that he might as well have a direct shot.

Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and applauded Costa, saying that this kid had finally moved, and Rodgers must not have expected that he would put his weight on Costa in today's game.

Rodgers is also a very diligent manager, and he spent a lot of thought on this game before the game like Wen Sheng, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was preparing for this game before the fourth round of the FA Cup, Gerrard wants to beat Manchester City to prove that Liverpool is not as weak as imagined, and how can Rodgers be willing to lose to Wen Sheng?!

In the first leg of the game, Liverpool lost 2:3 at home to Manchester City, Rodgers was not very depressed, on the contrary, he felt that the team was able to score two goals in a passive situation to show the team's potential, after such a long run-in, he was looking forward to the arrival of the second leg, and he had a good break with Wen Sheng!

Before this game, he collected a lot of information, everything about Manchester City, and the characteristics of the players were the focus of his collection, but he knew the characteristics of Costa as a player, but he did not think that Wen Sheng would let a newcomer play in such an important game.
