Chapter 634: Liverpool's Opponent (Part 1)
Chapter 634: Liverpool is not my opponent
Perhaps Brendan Rodgers has been very well planned for this game, and he has also envisioned a lot of situations in which he could qualify, and then he will respond accordingly to those situations.
In this way, when the situation that he envisioned in the game really happened, he could immediately come up with an effective response.
In football, the format on the field changes rapidly, and by the time you meditate on the sidelines and come up with a solution, it may not be useful at all.
Just like it is now.
What Rodgers didn't expect was that his team would be scored twice in a row by Manchester City in just two minutes of the game.
"Liverpool's defensive problems are too big!! Brendan Rodgers has had a much bigger test this season than he could have imagined! ”
On the commentary seat, commentator Lightkinson bit his head and said.
"Scored by Manchester City in a short period of time, 0-2 down at home. In the first two games of the new season, Liverpool is likely to suffer two consecutive defeats, and if Rodgers can't come up with an effective countermeasure to deal with Manchester City's attack, maybe this game will be another big defeat!! ”
The Liverpool fans in the stands were a little dumbfounded at this time, and they were scored by the opponent in a short period of time, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.
For the first time, the voices of Manchester City's fans rang out at Anfield.
Fortunately, the psychological endurance of Liverpool people is strong enough - they have all encountered worse situations than this, and Liverpool's sinking in the past ten years has long exercised the psychological endurance of Liverpool fans.
In this regard, Liverpool FC has really made a remarkable contribution to the heart health of the people of Liverpool.
The fans immediately suppressed the arrogance of the arrogant Manchester City fans.
But on the football field, the celebration of Manchester City's players is something they can't stop!
Antoine Griezmann ran wildly in celebration, and behind him were the chasing Manchester City players.
Antoine Griezmann is fast, but the rest of City's players are not slow either!
Jamie Vardy, Eden Hazard and even David Silva and Christian Eriksen are the kind of players who are very flexible to move.
Gao Bo also jumped on the sideline with his arms raised after seeing Antoine Griezmann score.
The victory in this game strengthened his idea of conquering the Premier League with such a small and fast frontcourt attacking system.
Perhaps before that, Gao Bo was thinking about using speed and power players to build a team that is physically strong against the Premier League.
But he eventually gave up on such an idea.
First of all, the first point is based on the current situation of Manchester City, there are not many players like this in the Manchester City team, Yaya Toure is very physical, but he is actually a technical player.
Yaya Toure is a physically strong technical player, which is different from a physical flow player who is a bit technical.
Gobo builds his tactics on Manchester City's player base, and he believes he can beat his opponents even if he doesn't bring in some of the players who will become popular in the future.
After winning more championships, Gao Bo's understanding of football and the position of head coach began to add something new.
...
Antoine Griezmann's goal stunned Liverpool's players.
When the game resumed, they looked a little distraught, and obviously they weren't comparable, and they would have scored twice in quick succession in just two minutes.
To add to their frustration, or despair, City did not slow down after taking another two-goal lead, they continued to attack and continue to pursue goals.
Manchester City are not content to be satisfied with a two-goal lead, and the current score has given them more confidence to attack.
This game... It looks like a lot of goals are destined to come.
.........
However, Liverpool did not continue to concede goals at work.
In the second half, Rodgers began to deploy his troops.
On the bench at Liverpool, there are striker Carroll who can strengthen the attack, and Downing, who can strengthen the attack on the wing.
Rodgers simply sent Downing and Carroll on the pitch before the start of the second half, he sent Sterling to the wing, and then Sterling and Borini attacked on both sides, and the center Carroll and Suarez were in the middle, this arrangement was also simple, with crosses from both sides and two center forwards.
Now it's time for Liverpool to step up their attack.
However, this arrangement did not have a very good effect.
Because after the start of the second half, Manchester City's attacking momentum has not weakened.
After more than ten minutes of attacking in the second half, Gao Bo also began to make substitutions.
He replaced Antoine Griezmann with James Milner and then moved Hazard to the middle.
Too many people will pull hatred, and the Premier League's actions are so rough, and the referee's scale is so wide, so Gao Bo doesn't want his important players to stay on the field when the win is basically locked.
In the 70th minute, Eden Hazard was also substituted.
He was replaced by Adam White.
This is Gao Bo's simple promotion of the player, and Adam is naturally full of joy to be able to return to play under Gao Bo.
"Use your speed, we have a lot of counter-attack opportunities now!!"
Gao Bo patted Adam on the shoulder and said.
And when Adam came on, he and Jamie Vardy formed a double striker.
The two Gobor descendants who were previously at Luton Town are now reunited at Manchester City, and although they have been separated for two seasons, the tacit understanding between the two is still there.
In the 78th minute, City had a chance to counter-attack, and Adam White seemed to regain his peak pace and skill as he dribbled all the way to the box before setting up Jamie Vardy's goal.
The two teamed up to score a goal and then hugged each other.
"Three to zero!! Manchester City sealed the win!!! ”
There was no suspense in the game, and the goal was a complete relief for Manchester City fans.
In the following ten minutes, the two sides did not score again, and the score was fixed at 0-3, and Manchester City beat Liverpool by three goals away!!
.......
"It was an unbelievable game, Liverpool managed to clean three goals at home and in the first two games of the season, Liverpool conceded six goals and didn't score a single goal! Brendan Rodgers' tenure at Liverpool has not been off to a good start and he needs to do more work, with Liverpool's defence being too disorganized and not being able to figure out anything too good in attack. ”
'Losing three goals at home to Manchester City is probably not surprising if you look at it alone. Liverpool didn't put in much of the game at both ends of the pitch and their defence was easily torn apart by Manchester City, so it's normal for this scoreline to occur. ”
At the end of the game, the commentators had their thoughts on the game.
Many believe that the two consecutive defeats may prove that Rodgers is not a suitable manager for a big team.
This team has been eating for seven or eight years, the champion who performed a miracle in Istanbul back then, the original core players have been broken up, and now Liverpool is facing the same big problem they have always had - rebuilding.
They never did this job well.
And Gao Bo doesn't actually think that the 3-0 victory over Liverpool was a surprise, he takes it for granted.
He knows that Liverpool have a few good players, but this season Brendan Rodgers has not been able to pinch the whole team together, this season's Liverpool, at the top of the sky, is a team in the upper middle of the table, and cannot pose a threat to which teams are competing for the title.
In other words, Liverpool is not being taken seriously by him now. Liverpool this season is not Manchester City's opponent.
Gao Bo's eyes are still on Chelsea and Manchester United!
This is the real opponent this season, and Liverpool.... Maybe they will really break out next season, if Liverpool's hierarchy are patient enough to allow Rodgers to get through the season in peace.
