Chapter 632: The attacker behind the striker

The match against Liverpool is coming as scheduled!

Anfield was packed, brightly lit, and the stands erupted in cheers from time to time, and when Gao Bo walked out onto the pitch, he was greeted by middle fingers raised in the stands and boos from the stands.

Liverpool fans didn't have a good face for Manchester City, and now they have met Gao Bo, the "enemy", so the fans at Anfield Stadium will naturally not be polite.

Their voices completely drowned out the Manchester City fans, who came to the away stadium and tried their best to fight against Anfield, but in the end they were also outnumbered, and they were placed in the corner of the top stand, and there was absolutely no way to compete with the Liverpool fans in this stadium.

They are not the masters here.

This is Anfield.

Here, the Liverpudlians have the final say.

For such a scene, Gao Bo has long been accustomed to it.

He's a winner, and he's going to be a winner.

He wins, and someone will lose.

Losers will always be angry, unconvinced, abusive, and dying.

But all this doesn't affect Gao Bo, the harder he calls now, the stronger the sense of loss when he loses.

Gao Bo walked to the coach's bench before the boos stopped.

He was dressed in a straight suit, his hair was combed back to the back of his head, his face was expressionless, and he looked at the court with a cold face.

No matter how you usually wear it, as long as you are directing the game, Gao Bo must be a straight formal suit.

He doesn't slack off on his work.

Even if he loses, he won't make his image in the dugout look embarrassing.

At this point, the game has begun,

He's staring at the pitch!

..........

Both sides fielded the strongest lineups they could!

In this game, Gao Bo chose Jamie Vardy as the starting centre-forward, with Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann still on the left and right.

On Liverpool's side, there is a 442 formation, Suarez and Sterling are partnered as two strikers, behind Gerrard and Joe Allen are two central midfielders, the left midfielder is Borini, the right is handed to Lucas, behind them, the central defender combination is Skrtel and Court, right wing-back Kelly, left wing-back Glen Johnson, goalkeeper Reina.

Rodgers did also put on a defensive counterattack posture in this game, but what Rodgers didn't expect was that from the beginning of the game, Manchester City pressed on the attack!!

As soon as the game began, Manchester City kicked off and they took advantage of the kick-off to launch a fierce attack on Liverpool's goal.

Brendan Rodgers was still sitting in the dugout at this time, and he thought it was a normal start and Manchester City wanted to use the opening to attack and break Liverpool's goal as soon as possible.

Brendan Rodgers has been preparing for this game for a long time, and he has studied the playing habits of Gao Bo's team.

The opening rush is often seen in the games of the team coached by Gao Bo.

Therefore, he believes that as long as he withstands the attack in this starting stage, the initiative of the game will return to Liverpool's injury.

Brendan Rodgers said this to his players, he told Liverpool's players to pay attention to the defense as soon as they came up, not to press out easily, and to give Manchester City any chance, especially to pay attention to the inside cut of the two wingers who defended Manchester City, and not let them successfully go inside.

The players did follow his tactical plan, and from the first minute of the game, Liverpool shrunk their defence, held down the middle, and occasionally had a counter-attacking opportunity, only for Suarez and Raheem Sterling to harass the opposition backline.

Although Manchester City's attack was fierce, they also believe that after a week of preparation, their backline will not fall so quickly, after all, Liverpool have sacrificed the number of people in the attacking line in order to defend.

Brendan Rodgers also learned the lesson of their first-round defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

It's just that what he didn't calculate is that although Rodgers has strengthened the number of defenders, Manchester City's attack is not comparable to West Bromwich Albion!

Even after ten minutes of continuous attack, the intensity of City's attack has not weakened significantly.

Their pace is still high, their passing is sharp, their dribbling and their shots... It's all very threatening!

........

"David Silva shoots !!"

With the roar of the commentator, David Silva shoots from a meter in front of the penalty line!

The soccer ball went straight to the goal!

Reyna made a fine save as he pounced sideways and took advantage of his height and arm length to keep David Silva's shot out of the net.

Football pops up on the bottom line!

Corner kick!!

It was David Silva who created the shot on goal from Antoine Griezmann on the wing.

When Griezmann got the ball, Liverpool's left wing-back Glen Johnson kept Rodgers' teachings in mind and stuck the inside line, not allowing Griezmann to have any possibility of breaking through to the inside!

However, after Griezmann saw this, he was also unceremonious, since the inside line was not through, he took the outside line!

As soon as Griezmann buckled with his left foot, he easily broke through from the outside to the bottom line!

Gro Johnson, on the other hand, looked a little confused, and he was just about to pounce when Griezmann passed the ball.

Instead of looking for Jamie Vardy in the box, he inverted the triangle and passed the ball to the middle, outside the penalty line, at the top of the arc!

Antoine Griezmann's breakthrough pushed Liverpool's formation back and gave David Silva the chance to shoot behind him.

"It's dangerous!! This is Reina's third rescue!! The stats tell us that in just 13 minutes, Reyna have made three crucial saves, two of which came from two City midfielders near the arc of the box, and one from a tight angle after Hazard burst into the box from the outside!! ”

Rogers couldn't sit still now.

He had asked his players to focus on Hazard and Griezmann's inside cut, and the inside cut was blocked, but their breakthrough from the outside made Liverpool very uncomfortable, and when the two wingers broke through and passed the ball, whether it was sweeping in front of goal or passing back to the attacking midfielders, it can create a very big threat!

Brendan Rodgers stared at the pitch as City's attacking routine remained simple.

Relying on the individual abilities of the two wingers, in addition to cutting inside, Manchester City can also evolve several tactical combinations.

The biggest threat now is, of course, from the two Manchester City midfielders at the top of the box.

When one side breaks through, Jamie Vardy and the other striker press in front of goal, and Liverpool's midfielders are forced to retract the box, giving the two Manchester City midfielders a chance to get their feet on the ground.

It seems like a simple routine, but it's hard to guard against.

If Liverpool's midfield is not recycled, then their defence will form a hollow area in the box, and if the football gets here, it will definitely be much more dangerous than allowing City's players to shoot from outside the box.

The lesser of two evils, Liverpool had to dance to the baton of Gao Bo.

Now Rogers is very distressed.

Faced with such a situation, he certainly has a way, first of course, to bring Suarez and Sterry back to defend and let them occupy the position at the top of the penalty arc, so as not to weaken Liverpool's defense in the box.

It's just that in this way, Liverpool only defends and has no counterattacks.

Of course, the most fundamental trick is to limit the breakthrough on both sides of Manchester City.

However, it is now clear that the two full-backs alone will not limit the play of either side of Manchester City.

Even when the two full-backs in the front field came back to participate in the defense, it was difficult to contain the opponent.

Brendan Rodgers wanted to move the two midfielders to the flanks to defend, but he quickly rejected his own idea.

On the football field, the number of people is limited, and if Liverpool transfers too many people to the wing, the middle will be empty!

This is contrary to Liverpool's strategy of holding the middle before the game!

.......

The game was eighteen minutes into the game and Rodgers hadn't figured it out yet.

So now David Silva and Eriksen are playing freely.

They were shooting from outside the box and the three strikers up front were setting up two of them.

Christian Eriksen and David Silva also felt that their long-range shots were very smooth today, with a very high probability of hitting the woodwork.

There is no one who does not know why, except for Gao Bo.

That's what the cards do.

There's such a card that enhances the shooting percentage, so it's a shame to put it away.

In this game, Rodgers has made up his mind to defend and counterattack, and one of the weapons that breaks through the dense defense happens to be long-range shots.

This gives this card a great opportunity to play, which increases the long-range shooting rate by 15 percent!

If you want to score, you have to kick it in the frame of the goal, and this chance increases by 15 per cent, and of course the chance of scoring also increases.

Gao Bo shook his hand with some regret after watching Reina make another embarrassing save from the sidelines, but no one saw the smile on his lips.

He believes that Rodgers has seen the threat of Manchester City's attack now, and Rodgers is probably now figuring out how to limit David Silva and Eriksen.

If Liverpool comes up to defend against Manchester City's long-range shot, Gao Bo also has other ways to attack, the big deal is to pass the ball into the penalty area, their people have to press out to prevent long-range shots, isn't the penalty area empty?

Rogers had to make a very painful multiple-choice question.

Will they let City's kicks from outside the box go untouched, or will they press out to prevent long-range shots?

If it is pressed out, the defense of the striker will definitely go wrong, Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann are like two sharp knives, and Vardy, who is constantly on the move, is also looking for a fatal opportunity.

Those who are far away cannot be prevented.

Plus both sides can also cut inside to shoot.

In this way, it greatly increases the difficulty of Liverpool's defense.

Gao Bo turned his head to look at Brendan Rodgers, and at this time, the Liverpool manager crossed his arms around his chest and frowned.

Gao Bo smiled, if you haven't come up with a countermeasure, then Manchester City will go first!

.....

Gao Bo didn't give Rogers time to continue thinking.

He made a gesture from the sidelines, signaling the Manchester City players to continue to step up the attack!

Two full-backs also came up to assist the two wingers!

Hazard and Antoine Griezmann have been given more space at full-backs – and if Liverpool concentrate on defending the two of them, the two full-backs will be able to get space again.

Liverpool are a bit leaky and rumored right now.

Manchester City's shot was like a cold arrow, ready to fly towards Liverpool's goal at any moment.

The Liverpool players were playing on the pitch at this time, and the more they played, the more demoralized they became.

Anyone who is shot like this is going to be like this.

However, when Manchester City has played too many routines, Liverpool's players have also developed inertial thinking.

When Eden Hazard burst in again from the outside, Joe Allen immediately felt that Hazard was still playing an inverted triangle back pass, creating a chance for the two City midfielders to shoot.

So he took it upon himself to suddenly step forward and jam the passing line.

However, just as he lost his defensive position, Hazard suddenly turned with the ball and killed!

Joe Allen couldn't get the ball off the ball, but he stared at Hazard and swerved into the area he was defending, and when he was scrambling to go back to defending, he slipped and fell into the box....

Liverpool were taken by surprise, and Gerrard rushed out to fill in the position.

At this time, Hazard flicked the outside instep lightly, and the football passed horizontally to the other side!

Antoine Griezmann was about to shoot straight at goal, but the Liverpool centre-back couldn't get the ball on the back of the line.

Griezmann's feint made Liverpool's penalty area without a defensive general, you can imagine the pressure that Griezmann brought to them in this game!

Skrtel couldn't care about anything else, and he rushed up. He dropped Vardy, who was defending his game.

A few passes in the Manchester City penalty area completely disintegrated Liverpool's defense, and now Liverpool is completely in a state of panic and chaos!

Manchester City fans have stood up and Liverpool fans are clutching their hearts.....

However, Griezmann did not choose to shoot, and Skrtel blocked the angle of his shot, so he passed the ball.

He passed the football to Jamie Vardy!

This is one of the tactical characteristics of Gao Bo.

He asked the players not to let themselves get the ball more when they are in the box, but to pass it as fast as possible so that they can get better shots, instead of being interfered with by the opponent when shooting, or simply being cut off and falling short.

Gerrard received the ball in a relatively open position, and the closest player to him was Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard rushed up, but where could he match the speed of Jamie Vardy's shot?

Jamie Vardy was ready to shoot with his feet when Griezmann passed the ball, and when the ball reached his feet, he volleyed straight with his right foot!

Gerrard's foot was shoveled in after he had shot the ball, but it was too late.

At this time, Gerrard and other Liverpool players and fans could only pray that Gerrard's shot was saved by Reina, and the probability of a shot from such a good angle in the penalty area was low.

Reyna quickly fell to the ground and pounced, he was really good today, he saved the ball!

But he just rubbed his fingertips on it, and the ball changed direction and went farther away.

Will the ball eventually fly off the line?

A leg wearing Manchester City's sky-blue socks suddenly hit, and then shoveled the football on the ground....

The soccer ball flew into the goal with a change of line!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！ Hazard !! Eden Hazard scored!! Manchester City lead by one goal away from home!! ”
