Manchester City's dressing room.

Rather than criticise the players, Pellegrini praised their performance after falling behind.

This made the Manchester City players feel a little better.

"In the second half, the whole team pressed them all over the field, forcing Liverpool to make mistakes, at least so that they could not organise an effective attack. Forcing them to attack can only be done with long-range shots and wide crosses, and we have the advantage in the air. ”

Pellegrini noticed that although Jiang Chenxi is good at grabbing points, his header is very average, especially in this game, because of the disadvantage in height, he suffered a loss when competing with Kompany.

On Liverpool's offensive line today, among other players, Coutinho is 172cm tall, Sterling is 170cm tall, Lucas is 179cm tall, and the tallest is their captain Gerrard 183cm, although Henderson is 187cm tall and has a certain header ability, but his defensive task today is very heavy.

"We're on offense...... It would be nice to pay a little more attention to improving the success rate. We had a lot of chances at the end of the first half but we didn't score a single goal, we couldn't do that in the second half, we were punished for wasting chances and we had to improve our attacking efficiency! Pellegrini continued.

……

On the other side, in the dressing room of Liverpool.

Head coach Jurgen Klopp has already completed the tactical planning and deployment of the second half of the game, leaving the remaining minutes for his players.

Jiang Chenxi was able to continue the conversation with Sterling.

Jiang Chenxi had a headache, he really didn't know how to teach others to shoot, why did people always come to him for advice, and they were all such (bad foundation) unreliable guys.

"Were you nervous when you shot that goal?" Jiang Chenxi asked, in his mind, such a good opportunity, empty goal, kicking into that virtue, must be nervous, resulting in deformation of the shooting action.

"Nervous? No, I don't. Sterling shook his head, "I'm never nervous when I'm shooting, I'm mentally good." ”

You're heartless.

……

"And what did you think at the time?" Jiang Chenxi asked.

'I thought I should play in the top corner, in the middle, or in ......,' said Raheem Sterling.

"Alright, I see." Jiang Chenxi held his forehead, this is just thinking too much.

"Then one more time, the time you hit Saña with a shot, what were you thinking?" Jiang Chenxi asked.

"The guy suddenly fell there and scared me, and I thought, he must have done it on purpose, deliberately lying on the ground to block my shot, and I was thinking about how to shoot to avoid him."

And then you're hitting the target...... Jiang Chenxi was powerless to complain: You are still thinking too much.

Jiang Chenxi felt that he understood a little.

……

"There are two suggestions." Jiang Chenxi said.

"You say." Sterling looked expectant.

"First, work your shooting skills." Jiang Chenxi said, "This requires long-term practice. ”

"It's too late." Sterling scratched his head, "Any quick fixes?" ”

Jiang Chenxi glanced at Sterling and continued, "This is the second point I said, don't think so much when shooting, it's not good to think too much, shoot if you want to, don't hesitate, do what you thought at the time, don't have too many distractions." ”

Sterling was a little confused.

"It's you......" Jiang Chenxi frowned, looking for the right words, "Just don't think too much, your first feeling, well, I'm very comfortable with this kind ......of shooting, my first feeling, I'm very happy." ”

Sterling's eyes lit up, "I see." Thank you, Jiang, thank you. ”

With that, Sterling jumped happily and ran away, they were about to play, and the other players were already ahead.

Do you really get it?

Jiang Chenxi nodded, it seems that his understanding is not bad.

……

"Thank you, Jiang." Captain Gerrard came over and said that Sterling is a Liverpool youth academy and is very talented, and the club has high hopes for Sterling, and Gerrard is very happy to see Jiang Chenxi teaching Sterling so seriously.

"It should. We're all teammates. Jiang Chenxi said.

'Do you know why Raheem Sterling was so obsessed with scoring today?' Gerald asked suddenly.

Jiang Chenxi shook his head, he really didn't know this.

'He wants to score goals, and he dedicates them to Joey.' Gerald said.

"Joey?"

"It's Joey. Flanagant. "He's been badly injured, he's been recuperating, you haven't seen him yet." ”

Jiang Chenxi nodded, it turned out to be this prince, although he had not seen it, but after coming to Liverpool, he had heard the legend of this prince.

Flanagant, the crown prince, does not mean that he is the prince of Liverpool, but because of his family background, everyone ridicules him.

……

This young man is a super-rich second generation who is in full swing.

The Flanagan Group is the largest listed company in Liverpool and Merseyside, with a monopoly of food, tourism and some real estate in Liverpool and surrounding cities, with a conservative estimated market capitalisation of £7 billion.

Flanagan made his first senior appearance for Liverpool in the Premier League on 11 April 2011 at home to Manchester City. Liverpool manager Dalglish told Flanagan that he would start the game only ten minutes before kick-off. Because, if he had been told in advance, it was entirely possible that his family would have chartered 45,000 seats at Anfield to support their young club.

Flanagan is clearly not a competent rich second generation, he did not spend a lot of time, but worked hard, training and playing hard, which also won the goodwill of the whole team.

Now, after the injury, Flanagan did not come to the team, and his family hired him a team of some of the best sports injury recovery experts in Europe to help him recover.

'Raheem Sterling and Flanagan are friends in the youth team. Gerald said.

Jiang Chenxi nodded, she couldn't see that this kid Sterling was quite affectionate.

……

The second half has begun.

Soon, some changes in the second half were noticed.

The Manchester City team has obviously strengthened the pressing, which makes Liverpool a little unsuitable, originally, forcing this should be Klopp's team's specialty, but, after all, Klopp has just taken over the team, and now this Liverpool team has not yet been kneaded into shape, not even a semi-finished product, and the team still has the deep imprint of the Rodgers era.

The team that is in the transition period will actually have a reduced combat effectiveness.

In the face of this kind of pressing, Liverpool was a little passive and uncomfortable, they were almost uncomfortable in the middle of the attack, and in the end, they had to focus on the wing, and the limited number of counterattacks were all carried out from the side, but, as Pellegrini expected, Liverpool's high-altitude bombardment on the wing did not threaten the Manchester City goal.

The camera gave a close-up of the dugout on the sidelines, and Pellegrini had a confident smile on his face again.
