You don't need to prove to me that you can win this game, I just need you to prove to me that all of you have a winning mentality! Wen Sheng finally said this to his players.

This seems to mean that it doesn't matter whether you win or not, but it doesn't seem to be, it's plausible, ambiguous, and the players are seriously pondering the meaning of Wensheng.

Wen Sheng didn't say anything more, and beckoned everyone to get ready and make a shining debut.

It's not that he doesn't want to win this game, on the contrary he wants to win this game, but the biggest problem for this Manchester City team is really the mentality.

From summer training to now, Wen Sheng does not dare to guarantee that Manchester City's tactics are running in well, and Liverpool's whetstone is very difficult, and he is most worried that Manchester City's players are proud and complacent because of the big win in the last game.

This kind of complacency is really not worth advocating against Liverpool in the current situation.

What Wen Sheng means is that if the players can have a more calm mentality to deal with this game, even if Manchester City is still deficient in tactical integration, at least it will not collapse, and the possibility of winning is very high, after all, the hard power is there, and it is indeed stronger than Liverpool.

In order to deal with Liverpool, Wen Sheng deliberately sacrificed a 4231 formation.

The goalkeeper position is still Joe Hart, Sabalata, Van Dijk, Kompany, and Kolarov are lined up at the back, and the midfield is set up with two backs, Yaya Toure and Melo continue to partner, De Bruyne, Silva, and Nasri serve as attacking midfielders, and Dzeko is still a single striker.

There are no personnel adjustments compared to the previous game, but in the tactical arrangement, the victory allowed De Bruyne in the center to retreat more, and also told Yaya Toure not to press too much, Yaya Toure itself is not particularly good in terms of skills, and the speed is not fast.

Defensively, it's a fact that Kante covers a larger area than him, not to mention Kante, even Dembele's mobility is stronger than Yaya Toure, and his advantage lies in the link.

Wensheng asked De Bruyne to retreat often just to divide his possession and not let him waste.

Yaya Toure and Melo should give priority to ensuring defense and protecting the backline, and it is an obvious fact that Liverpool's midfield control is insufficient, and it will definitely be used more on long passes today.

Manchester City's tactic at the beginning of today's game is to maintain health, first touch Liverpool's routine and state before talking about anything else.

......

"The Manchester City manager really looks very young!" Linda, the proprietress of Liverpool, said to her husband Henry, who was beside her.

The couple have occasionally come to England to watch football since the acquisition of Liverpool, and no one knows whether Henry is interested in football or not, but such a big game, their coming to the scene to watch the game itself is an incentive for the team and the players.

Henry himself is involved in the sports industry, and he knows all the details of Liverpool's affairs in the United States, including Liverpool's board of directors' plan to invite Wensheng has also been strongly approved by him.

Compared with the dull British, Henry, the American boss, is still quite open-minded.

It's a pity that Manchester City took a step early and took the lead, and Liverpool missed out on Wensheng.

Hearing his wife's words, Henry smiled slightly, "He's not even thirty years old, can he not be young?!" Although he didn't know much about Wensheng Henry, he still praised him from the bottom of his heart, "This guy is a genius!" ”

"Do you think we're going to win?!" Linda smiled and asked her husband that she didn't feel so much about football, but Liverpool was her own team, how to say that the answer she expected in her heart would be "yes!" ”。

Henry smiled and said, "How do I know!" But Anfield is not so easy to break! ”

Before the game, Henry also looked at the past record, since Mancini took office, Liverpool at Anfield has never been afraid of Manchester City, last season in the league Liverpool did not lose home in such a bad situation, in the League Cup is the powerful Manchester City eliminated, Anfield is where Liverpool's confidence lies.

While the two bosses were discussing the game, the players from both sides were already standing on the pitch.

Rogers and Wensheng also greeted each other at the entrance of the passage.

Others may think that Rodgers may not be able to carry the burden of Liverpool, but Wen Sheng will not think so, this gentleman's ability is nothing to say, Liverpool's squad has never been one of the best in the Premier League during his reign, and he really can't let Rodgers take the blame if he can't win the championship.

Of course, Rodgers' standard of scratching the lottery does need to be improved, and he is not as good as Wensheng in developing young players.

It is not the first time that the two have met, and the relationship between the two sides is quite good, when Wen Sheng became the manager of Manchester City, Rodgers also sent a congratulatory text message to Wen Sheng, and Rodgers became the manager of Liverpool, and Wen Sheng did not forget to send him a congratulatory text message.

After agreeing to have a drink together at Anfield after the game, the two sides returned to the dugout.

Liverpool's side is a 433 formation, after the defeat of 442 in the last game, Rodgers reacted very quickly, and this game immediately sacrificed 433.

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Kelly, Coates, Skrtel, Johnson

Midfielders: Steven Gerrard, Joe Allen, Lucas

Forwards: Raheem Sterling, Bolini, Suarez

Liverpool's side has also been plagued by some injuries, defender Enrique, who transferred from Newcastle to Liverpool last season, performed poorly, Dalglish often replaced him with Kelly, this season it seems that the Spaniard's situation has not improved, sitting comfortably on the bench, Rodgers still uses Kelly, but today Kelly plays on the right and Johnson on the left.

Liverpool's arrangement is unclear on paper, and Rodgers's real arrangement can only be seen on the pitch, but there should not be much change on the side road and on paper.

Johnson plays on the left side, Wen Sheng estimates that Rodgers has high hopes for the youngster Sterling, Sterry is very fast and has strong dribbling ability, Johnson is also a fast and forward-minded fullback, Sterling can get more support from Johnson in the game, if it is Kelly, it may not be so good.

Of course, all this is a tactical idea, and the actual effect still needs to be verified by the competition.

The midfield arrangement is somewhat similar to the two sides, Wensheng set up a double back, Liverpool should be a single back Lucas, Gerrard as a central midfielder, Joe Allen as a forward position, a triangle between the three, Gerrard's task should be both offensive and defensive, unlike Yaya Toure was limited by Wensheng to defend the majority, and could not be overly forward.

Liverpool's double central defenders on the back line is really a big test for Dzeko, according to Wen Sheng's idea if he really wants to play 4231, this game from the opponent's personnel arrangement, Wen Sheng feels that Aguero is more suitable than Dzeko to play the center forward position.

The biggest feature of Liverpool's double central defenders is that they are tall and aggressive, but they are slow to turn and not flexible enough, and a dexterous striker like Aguero is very useful, on the other hand, Dzeko is not the kind of dexterous striker, and his body is difficult to say that he has an advantage in front of Liverpool's two central defenders, but he must rely on his body to impact the opponent head-on today.
