Chapter 370: Undercurrents are surging
The Premier League and the German Second Division are indeed different, this is the first feeling that Ye Xin has seen since the beginning of the game, the style is wild and fierce, especially the fighting action, which is much more fierce than Germany, and even sometimes makes Ye Xin have an illusion that they are not running for the ball.
Especially Manchester City's opponent Liverpool, although Manchester City's defense is quite stable at present, but their offensive has been getting faster and faster, Ye Xin didn't expect Liverpool's style to be so aggressive, and they actually seized the opportunity when they were away from home.
And the real situation is often not so simple, even a person with a half-tactical level like Ye Xin can see that it is unfavorable to face Manchester City, so Manchester City in the field is now very uncomfortable.
Robert Mancini was also frowning at this time and looking at the situation in the field, Liverpool's rush did catch him off guard, I thought that Manchester City's home Liverpool would be more restrained, so he did not set the usual pull-back defensive counterattack formation, but he did not give the team an all-out attack order, in line with the attitude of crossing the river while touching the stones, he wanted to see how Liverpool played first, and then prepare targeted tactics.
It's just that Mancini's routine has already been seen through by Liverpool, and Liverpool quickly attacked as soon as it started, and they began to attack in waves before Manchester City found a sense of cooperation.
Mancini had the intention of letting his players stabilize first and pull the defense back, but playing at home, he felt that the game had just begun, and he was unwilling to admit it so soon, and the situation of the game became more and more unfavorable for Manchester City in hesitation.
Finally, in the 28th minute of the first half, Manchester City's youngster Mattiga finally made a mistake, and he couldn't resist giving Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge a sliding tackle when the last line of defence was his own.
As an old guy who has been rolling in the Premier League all year round, he has become accustomed to facing all kinds of scissor feet, and he has long noticed the impending of the little guy opposite in the process of running, so as soon as he fell to the ground, Daniel Sturridge immediately jumped up.
A very nice dribble jump, followed by a natural one-man face against the goalkeeper.
1-0, Liverpool took the lead.
Suddenly, there was a shouting and scolding from the stands.
"Alas, Mattiga is still too young, although Jonathan is injured, it is still unwise to send Matiga to play, although Mika mainly plays right wingback, but he can also play at central defender, let him sit on the bench and let the 19-year-old Mattiga, what a mess" Gareth Barry, who was next to Ye Xin, shook his head and sighed.
Of course, Ye Xin heard Gareth Barry's complaints, but he didn't answer, because no matter how stupid he was, he could hear the resentment in Gareth Barry's tone, and Ye Xin, the person who was targeted, could naturally guess that Gareth Barry's words were actually aimed at Manchester City's head coach Mancini.
Ye Xin doesn't understand why a club's players would question their head coach, if this is in Jena, Gareth Barry is estimated to have been punished for running laps at this time, but Ye Xin is too lazy to think about it, he doesn't want to get involved too much in Manchester City's affairs, anyway, he is on loan, except for playing for Manchester City, Ye Xin doesn't feel that he has any obligation to help Mancini.
So Ye Xin ignored Gareth Barry, still watching the game on the court with a blank face.
It's just that Ye Xin's approach made Gareth Barry unable to see through, he just tested Ye Xin, but he didn't expect Ye Xin to react at all, he seemed to be like an outsider, it seems that Manchester City has nothing to do with him whether he wins or loses.
Is this the attitude towards coming to Manchester City soon?
Robert Mancini spent so much money to bring in a goalkeeper who doesn't seem to be in the same league as him?
There's definitely going to be something wrong with that.
However, Gareth Barry is not guilty of worrying about Mancini, on the contrary, he is still a little gloating, Mancini is not only promoting a young player like Matiga, Abdul is also being trained by Mancini himself, and Abdul's position coincides with his own.
It's right to reuse young people, but it also depends on whether the old people can play a bigger role. Ye Xin naturally doesn't know the twists and turns in Gareth Barry's heart, although he said that he doesn't pay attention to who wins and who loses in the final result of the game, but he still watches the game very carefully, he knows that he still has a lot of deficiencies in football, not only less football knowledge, but also football tactics can't understand the mind, so he usually has nothing to do with him will also watch some football games to make up for his knowledge, and he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to watch the game on the spot.
God's perspective may be broader than the parallel perspective in a television broadcast, and he can see more people running and the situation changing.
It's just that as time goes by, he has become more and more able to see Manchester City's disadvantages, especially the goalkeeper position he is extremely concerned about, Manchester City's goalkeeper has yelled at his defender many times, although he is a little far away and can't see his expression clearly, but the goalkeeper's vicious kick on the goalpost has made Ye Xin see that his emotions are on the verge of exploding.
Manchester City already seemed a little flustered, and at this time Mancini finally made a move, and used up two substitutions at once, one is the young player Mattiga who has just made a mistake and has been abused many times by the goalkeeper, and the other Ye Xin doesn't know it, anyway, there doesn't seem to be much change after the substitution, and there doesn't seem to be much change after halftime.
However, Liverpool immediately became stable after taking another one-goal lead, and they changed the crazy situation at the beginning and began to slowly fall back in their own half, which made Manchester City's players and fans extremely angry and anxious, and the players left their positions again and again to participate in a few more attacks, which made Manchester City's formation slowly begin to be a little scattered, even if Mancini's angry shouting on the sidelines did not work, Manchester City's formation has completely shown a forward pressure situation.
At this time, even Ye Xin knew what to do, Haike had used this, and the two wings flew together to defend and counterattack.
Sure enough, Liverpool unceremoniously chose to eat this big flaw that Manchester City sold, and just halfway through the second half, a Manchester City front court steal was quickly converted into attack by Liverpool, and it only took four footballs to transfer from Liverpool's backfield to Daniel Sturridge's head.
A leap to the top of the pitch and Daniel Sturridge made it 2-0.
The Etihad Stadium, which was still lively just now, was suddenly suffocated, this time it was Ye Xin's turn to shake his head, it was already difficult for Manchester City to turn around, and sure enough, although Manchester City had not given up attacking in the following time, it was useless.
2-0, Manchester City humiliated at home to Liverpool to take three points.
