Edin, you didn't do well enough against them in the first half, you were constantly at the bottom! You've got to change the way you play, what if you get caught in the bag?! Wen Sheng tapped the position of the tactical board Dzeko with his pen.

The crowd listened intently.

"You get out of the box, in the second half we don't want to play that kind of long ball from the front, let Edin waste his physical energy, we have to try to pass the ball on the ground, Edin, you need to pull out of the box, you will get caught in the bag when you fight with the opponent, you will suffer a lot, but what if you have the ball with your back?! I watched you in the first half, and you did a very good job with your back to the ball a few times! In the second half, we have to take advantage of this, you do the fulcrum and do the passing, Tintin you need to show your long-range shooting skills, let Edin make the gun mount for you! ”

"Samir, you did too much inside in the first half! In the second half, I need you to take on two responsibilities, the first is to cut inside, the second is to insert into the penalty area, here..."Wen Sheng used his pen to draw the running and passing routes that Nasri needed to do in the second half, "You need to consciously look for shooting opportunities! ”

"Pablo! In the second half you have only one mission, keep an eye on Raheem Sterling! Stare Sterling! He's fast, you don't have to give Samir a lot of help, you're going to have to keep an eye on Sterling! Do you understand?! Can it be done?! Wen Sheng stared at Zabaleta, who nodded fiercely.

"We were on the left side in the second half! Yaya, Alexander, David, you want to form a triangle transmission, I trust the level of long passing of the three of you very much, I need you to pass the ball like this..."Wen Sheng drew a few more passing routes with a pen, while explaining the running routes to Dzeko, De Bruyne, and Nasri.

"As soon as you see Samir starting to run behind Johnson, you guys hurry up and make a long pass in that direction! Don't worry about mistakes! Tintin you need to pay attention to your position at this time, and when the pass fails, you have to go up and intercept Johnson as soon as possible and stop him from passing the ball to Raheem Sterling! ”

"Edin, after you get out of the penalty area, you have to master the timing of the reverse run! Sometimes you can wait a little bit, David, when they form a local advantage cross on the wing, you run again, because if you use your body to carry the opponent it will be terrible, but you can use the speed to attack, Coates and Skrtel may not be able to stop your impact! ”

"Remember! Remember! We have to go to the ground as much as possible, and if it's not a long pass in this position, try to avoid looking for Edin! To hit Johnson in the back! Wen Sheng put his pen to the tactical board, which was near midfield and in City's own half.

In the first half, it has been proved that this road is not easy at all, Dzeko is too disadvantaged against him, there is no Aguero to attract defense for him, and he is too easy to be defended.

After talking about the offensive arrangement, Wen Sheng explained the defensive arrangement to the team, in short, the layout is very detailed, because of this meticulousness, there is no need for too much encouragement, and the Manchester City players have become confident.

Finishing his explanation, Wen Sheng handed over the rest of the time to the players.

"What tactics do you think Rodgers will adopt in the second half?!" Kidd asked Wensheng.

"Needless to say, if he has the chance, he still has to fight for possession, but he is not a fool, he knows that Liverpool's midfield will not be able to compete with us for control of the ball in midfield, so he will still fight back with defense! It was a real surprise to concede a goal in the first half, our attack was not successful, and their attack was not very successful! Wen Sheng snorted.

Wen Sheng pointed out the essence of the first half, in the first game of the season, Manchester City tasted a lot of sweetness through long passes and crosses to find Dzeko, which led to the dependence of the players in this game, and the offensive patience was not very strong.

On Liverpool's side, the problem is that they retreated too deep under the pressure of Manchester City, Manchester City's midfield interception and blockade did a very good job, their midfield was not very neat, Sterling did not play this point well, Borini was not in good shape, and Suarez did not get many opportunities.

Liverpool had just six shots on goal at half-time, while City had one more to complete seven, and the two teams had four shots each from outside the box, so you can see how unreliable they are in creating chances in the box.

The fifteen-minute break was fast in coming, and the players from both sides were back on the pitch.

For Liverpool fans, the first half may not be so pretty, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Liverpool are ahead, and that's enough!

Rodgers is not as heartless as the fans, but it is really difficult for him to guess how Wensheng will adjust his tactics, Manchester City has too many creative players, such as Silva, De Bruyne and other big names, Liverpool has none, Joe Allen and Shelvey are still too much worse than the two, in the first half these two players did not play the role he expected, Xhelvey, the young player, lost the ball a little too many times, made a little lack of confidence, and did not dare to hold the ball too much at his feet.

Steven Gerrard has really become a midfielder when he is given the role of a midfielder, struggling to deal with De Bruyne and Silva, and if it weren't for Dzeko's absence from the opposing team, maybe City would have been able to create more decent scoring opportunities.

Just two minutes into the second half, Manchester City came close to breaking Liverpool's goal.

In the 47th minute, Manchester City attacked to the front, after Silva and Dzeko collided with the wall, the horizontal dribble and De Bruyne crossed and switched, Silva deftly stepped on the stop, and then pulled back, De Bruyne, who shifted his position, followed up with a right-footed outside of the instep volley, not only played very hidden, but also the angle was very tricky!

"Bang dang!"

The ball passed through the gap between Kelly and Coates and hit the post directly, and Reina was so unresponsive to the ball that he stayed in front of goal!

Gerrard obviously suffered the loss of De Bruyne and Silva's shift, left and right, this is the disadvantage of Rodgers setting up a single back, when Silva and De Bruyne really interact in the middle, Gerrard is very difficult to defend, Joe Allen and Shelvey are a little careless, it will definitely let Manchester City find opportunities, Silva and De Bruyne began to try this interaction in the second half.

Kevin De Bruyne's shot almost scared Rodgers out of the way, but it was a goalpost that allowed Kelly to clear the ball in the first place.

"Looks like Daniel wants to make a fuss in the middle lane!" Rogers frowned.

There is not such a reason for Silva to lean in the middle, the other reason is to involve Kelly and free up the wing position for Kolarov, the advantage of this is not only to increase the strength of the middle in the front of the Liverpool penalty area, but also to wait for the opportunity to insert a cross on the side and find Dzeko this point, even if Dzeko can't completely compete for the top at this time, as long as it causes chaos in the opponent's penalty area, Silva and De Bruyne may get a chance to shoot.
