Chapter 496: Croquettes in the Air?
Liverpool won three and lost one of their four meetings with Manchester City last season, and after taking the lead, Liverpool's psychological state has been a mystery, as evidenced by the 4-3 defeat to Bournemouth last year, and when leading their opponents, Liverpool were always in a state of intense panic. But when they were behind, they didn't have that mentality, especially when they faced Manchester City in the second leg of last season's Champions League, and they were still not beaten at home by Manchester City. Liverpool's urine is like this, when it is strong, it is strong, and when it is weak, it is weak.
Liverpool fell behind 1:3 just now, but still did not give up the game, stubbornly snatched back a point, and the first half seemed to be about to end with such a score.
Manchester City's attack was fierce, but their defence was not enough for Liverpool to score.
The goal just now was Liverpool's 10-man state to press resolutely enough and win at the competitive level, and the speed of Walker and Otamendi was really not flattering, resulting in being suddenly attacked by Salah over and over again, and Liverpool saw this opportunity to play the right side wildly. With Otamendi's failure to change the defense and the inactive defense of midfielders such as Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City conceded the goal.
When quick counter-attacks and frenzied runs overwhelm City's defence, this invincible division will be at a loss. Among the teams in the Premier League, Liverpool is the fastest, which makes Manchester City's luxury defence before it has time to set up and be beaten behind, and only Salah and Firmino and Mane are just three people in front of Manchester City's goal.
There is no doubt that Manchester City are stronger than Liverpool in terms of overall strength, but you have to believe that the style of play is against each other. The whole world feared City's control and fluid passing, and they took the phrase "attacking is the best defence" to the extreme, but few were able to break Pep Guardiola's circle of control, so they had to accept the fate of being slaughtered. But Liverpool will not, they uphold the spirit of crazy running, but whenever they have the opportunity to insert a few kicks, but whenever the ball is broken, they will quickly advance to the front, quickly tear apart the opponent's defense in the gallop, and at the same time, once the team is in momentum, it will become unstoppable, in last season's Champions League game, Klopp's team has played two 7-0 and one 5-0.
Therefore, Liverpool can still wrestle with Manchester City now.
In the football world, the famous style of play is Italy and Germany, France and Brazil, Germany and France, and the results reflect the differences in systems and tactics. Liverpool's win against Manchester City is not only about momentum, but also about the restraint of Manchester City's style of play. This is the passion of football in its primitive.
"This kind of Red Army makes me feel like watching a Red Flash's electricity. When defending against the counterattack, every player is like stepping on Hot Wheels, advancing like a lightning speed, and hitting the enemy's heart with a fatal blow, which is really the only fast martial arts in the world. Uncle Scumbag really has his own set in the face of Gua Shuai. And that man Salah is too free-willing, so Liverpool, how can you not be afraid, how can you not love? ”
Lineker is cheering for Liverpool, and the weak will always get more sympathy, not to mention that Liverpool is not weak, just relatively speaking.
It looked like the game was about to end the first half with a score of 2:3, and there was not much time left.
Pep Guardiola signaled his players to be a little more focused on the sidelines, and if everyone had been less distracted and could have continued to defend tightly against Liverpool, perhaps the goal would not have been conceded.
With a few minutes to go, just in time to make new changes in the dressing room, Liverpool will definitely not give up the game in the second half, the game has only just begun. After a few games last season, Pep Guardiola knew that Liverpool's crazy team was the biggest threat to Manchester City, not even Manchester United.
At this moment, the United boss must be sitting in front of the TV, eating potato chips, nibbling on a burger, and grinning at the game, Mourinho wishing Manchester City were kicked by Liverpool at Anfield. If Manchester City lose the game and Manchester United win tomorrow night's game, then Manchester City will lose the top spot in the league, and Pep Guardiola will not let that happen, there is nothing worse than losing the top spot.
However, just when he wanted the team to withdraw the troops, Liverpool still showed their hideous minions and frantically attacked the hinterland of the Manchester City team.
They haven't given up the attack yet!
Hell, they wanted to equalize in the first half!
Waves of climactic attacks hit the heart of the Manchester City team, and the excitement of the Liverpool players was like the devil, and they couldn't stop at all.
The Manchester City defence at this time is very messy!
Chickens fly and dogs jump. Otamendi's defence was fluttering......
Several consecutive clearances were unsuccessful, and the game went into stoppage time.
Crazy, all of them are crazy, seeing that his teammates couldn't stand it, Wang Dalong hurriedly ran back and joined the defense. But in the front court, he didn't play much defensive role in the whole Liverpool attack, because the area of movement of the ball was not near him at all.
Pep Guardiola couldn't sit still, and he wanted to walk back to the dugout to stay, but now he was standing in the command area and jumping around, shouting loudly, eager to take off his clothes and go on the pitch to play.
If there is really any relative weakness of the Manchester City team, it is the defense, the attack-led Manchester City, in fact, has not achieved much in defense, any team can find the key to score in front of them.
Manchester City's huge investment in the universe's first backline and the Premier League's first goalkeeper Ederson is actually a group of paper tigers. Manchester City conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League last season and this season, not really relying on their defence, but on attack. The four central defenders of Stones, Kompany, Otamendi and Laporte are not happy troubles for Guardiola, but a time bomb for worry.
The more worried you are, the more likely you are to have an accident.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Liverpool still controlled the ball in the midfield, Wang Dalong rushed forward and tried to steal Henderson's pass, but Henderson did not let the ball stay at his feet at all, but directly found Salah, Salah took the ball and went to abuse Otamendi, Otamendi staggered, and was shaken to the ground by Salah again, and then Salah pushed the ball to the middle, in the chaos, the fast Mane was one step faster, and he easily pushed the goal.
The score was magically equalised.
“Goooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"It's amazing that Liverpool actually equalized before half-time, 3:3, they didn't fall behind with a score of 1:3, nor with a score of 2:3, but bravely made the score 3:3! Anfield didn't fall and they got the race back to the real starting line. Manchester City didn't laugh at the end, at least not at half-time, they underestimated Liverpool's resistance. ”
"Pep Guardiola's team is this common disease, too afraid of the explosive team, otherwise the Nanda King will not be by the Western Super League for three consecutive years, Gua's adjustment of the players is too focused on the integrity of his passing control system, but once there is a strong point on the opposite side, you can't control the ball, or if a side of the defense line is torn too hard, the players and the formation are too difficult to adjust. However, once the strength is obviously stronger than the other party, the abuse of vegetables is really stable as a dog, so the league championship of melon has always been very light. ”
In terms of lineup, there is no doubt that Manchester City has the advantage, and if you look at the line, the only thing Liverpool can compare with Manchester City is the attacking line with amazing efficiency. On the Manchester City side, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus, Ah Kun and Wang Dalong's luxury forward line has scored a staggering 33 goals in all competitions so far this season, which is undoubtedly an important part of Manchester City's journey towards European supremacy. And Liverpool's forward line has shown a more balanced and powerful attacking ability in the game so far, in the spirit of high pressing implemented by Uncle Klopp, Liverpool's forward line can be described as conscientious, Mane 11 goals, Firmino 13 goals, Salah 14 goals, the total number of goals of the three 38 goals (all competitions) is more terrifying than the blue moon, 5 more goals.
Maybe that's why Liverpool can still equalise now.
"It's not like a professional league!" Owen muttered, his spinach was soaked again, looking a little listless, a few minutes ago, Manchester City was still leading 3:1, a few minutes later, the score actually became 3:3, Liverpool's game, sure enough, you can't gamble, because you never know how terrifying the score will turn out to become.
And this time, it was clear that Owen was going to break again.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, and the players on both sides entered the dressing room to rest, but Anfield's singing became louder and louder, it turned out that this game was not painful, and Uncle Scumbag's Liverpool would never disappoint them, even if they lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, but that was only because the star Salah was not able to play the whole game, if Salah was there, Liverpool fans believed that it was Liverpool who won the Champions League, and Real Madrid would not be able to complete the miracle of three consecutive Champions League titles.
Now, they are back in the back and after almost forty minutes of being held back by Manchester City, Liverpool have finally come back to life and it took them just seven minutes to equalise.
Such a Liverpool, whether they win the game or lose the game in the end, deserves the love of the fans, and the fans should always be by their side.
"How did you look at the second half? Michael? ”
"It's normal for anyone to win, so it's better to play it as a basketball game." Owen didn't have a good face, where did he still have a mind.
'I think there will be at least two or three goals. This game is definitely a feast of goals, I just don't know who will win in the end, maybe, it will be a draw? ”
"Maybe......" Owen's eyes were fixed on smallpox, not in the mood at all, no matter who won or lost, he was going to lose.
Back in the game, there were no substitutions for either side.
Guardiola's expression was very serious, but Uncle Scum's face was very happy, and when the players were on the field, he patted the players on the shoulders one by one and encouraged them.
The mental state of both teams can be seen in the faces of the managers of both teams.
As soon as the game restarted, Liverpool fouled the Manchester City players and Silva went down in pain in midfield, looking injured.
!!!
Pep Guardiola was not satisfied and went directly to the fourth official to protest, but Henderson, who committed a foul, was only verbally warned by the referee.
Within two minutes, another midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, was also violated and went down, still in midfield.
It seems that Uncle Scum's Liverpool is going to take the initiative to use the tactics of a meat grinder, and it is impossible to pursue the ball pass.
Is it their tactic in midfield right now to keep Manchester City from going crazy, and as soon as they get the ball, they go crazy and attack? Pep Guardiola's midfielders are all technical, although the coverage is large, but they prefer to move forward through technology and cooperation, but Uncle Scum's players are different, where will you mess around so much in the midfield!
In the second half, Manchester City's midfield did not gain the advantage and was cut into disarray by Liverpool.
There was no way, Wang Dalong retreated to the midfield and joined the midfielder to block.
What he has to be careful about is just the foul played by the other party.
He?
Henderson stood in the backcourt, staring at Wang Dalong. It's easy for anyone to do, but it's not easy for Wang Dalong to do, and he must not be allowed to rush over. He thought so.
But Wang Dalong thought so, he had to take down Liverpool's midfield and let them know that this tactic alone would not be able to go to the end.
"Man, pass the ball over."
He ran to De Bruyne and took the initiative to get the ball. Behind him, Henderson followed.
De Bruyne passed the ball to his feet without even thinking about it, Wang Dalong did not stop to take the ball, but suddenly accelerated before the ball arrived.
This acceleration pulled Henderson several meters, which obviously did not fit the pattern of ordinary people taking the ball and dribbling the ball, and Henderson rushed up at the same time as he was surprised.
But Wang Dalong seems to have eyes on his back, and when Henderson didn't rush to him, he didn't look behind him at all, but knocked the ball with his left foot, but the person turned to the right!
A man with a ball with his back and a heel knock on the ball has a ball!
The Liverpool fans on the pitch couldn't help but exclaim, because this pass is really beautiful!
Looking again, Wang Dalong had gone around behind Henderson and got the ball again.
Then a fried croquette instantly exploded the other two players of Liverpool, and he actually spread his wings in the air like an eagle.
"A croquette in the air?"
Lineker really can't find the words to describe it.
However, when Wang Dalong just landed, everyone's eyes widened again.
Because Wang Dalong picked up the ball with his right foot, the ball had already flown into the air.
"Is he going to shoot?"
Yes, Wang Dalong has risen!
Even though he and the ball were still 30 meters away, he still got to his feet...... ()
