Who makes the most competitive team in the Premier League right now is the Manchester duo, and if the Reds want to win the league this season, they will have to break through the Manchester duo.
Manchester United did not take advantage of Liverpool, and the first round of the first round of the United could not take away the victory in some controversial situations; As for this round of matchups, Manchester United have now swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat at Old Trafford.
It was not easy for the Blues to get back on the pitch, and City did not take advantage of the two teams in the first half of the matchup. The reigning Premier League champions are now feeling the pressure to win their clash with Liverpool or they will have to leave the title race for the time being.
Although this pinnacle matchup was held at the Etihad Stadium, Qin Lang and his teammates were full of confidence in this game. Although the Blue Moon will want to go all out to win this game, they will also have some pressure.
Regular defender Yaya Toure will not be able to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, and those teams with African players will have to bear the reality that they will lose some of their key players in the sprint every two years. Of course, this time the Africa Cup of Nations is not held every two years, because due to the restructuring, there will be Africa Cup of Nations events in 12 and 13 years.
In addition to Yaya Toure's absence from this game for the Africa Cup of Nations, Vincent Kompany, the heart of the Blue Moon's backfield, will also be absent.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing for Liverpool, who have a lot of squad depth, but they are missing two core backfield cores, which makes Liverpool see some opportunities.
Liverpool themselves are not the best attacking team, but after Sturridge joined Liverpool, the Reds actually have more options in attack.
Although Blue Moon is not the strongest team, this game also made Qin Lang dare not underestimate his opponent; Blue Moon's lineup is still very luxurious, although Blue Moon's defensive end is a little weakened, but they are good on the offensive end.
Just look at Blue Moon's lineup, Qin Lang knows that this game is definitely not to be underestimated; For Qin Lang, he is now holding back his strength and wants to get back on the field in this game.
Because Qin Lang's most painful memory is the reality of conceding two goals in a single game, and this is caused by Manchester City; Yes, Aguero scored twice in the duel with Qin Lang, and this super striker made Qin Lang deflated in the game.
goalkeeper Joe Hart; In the back line, Zabaleta, Nastasic, Lescott and Klich were on the line; In midfield are James Milner, Garcia, Barry and Silva; A luxurious forward duo, Dzeko partnered with Sergio Aguero.
As for Liverpool's lineup, there is basically no change, the goalkeeper is naturally Qin Lang, and Enrique, Agger, Carragher and Glenn Johnson on the back line are lined up; the midfield pairing of Lucas, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson and Downing; The best strikers are Sturridge and Suarez.
The Reds are looking forward to this game because they know that the Blue Moon is not invincible; The Blues were not at their best in this game, and perhaps the Reds, who have been in good form lately, have had the chance to score away from home.
The win over Manchester City is what Liverpool are looking forward to this game, and the Reds actually have some pressure; With Liverpool only two points at the top of the table, if they can't beat Manchester City, they may be kicked off the top spot by Manchester United once again.
The draw by Arsenal did not make the Red Army soldiers panic, they still have some confidence of their own; It's just that the Reds also know very well that if they can't win this game, then their advantage is gone, and Liverpool can't actually spend it, who makes the current competition for the league standings really anxious.
The Liverpool players playing away from home are in a good mentality, they are full of confidence and they are hungry for victory. Although the Manchester City players will also go all out to win this game, the Reds will not pay much attention to all of this, because what Liverpool will do is to take the victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Rivalry is sometimes a test of spirit, and Liverpool, who are very high-spirited, were tested by Manchester City at the beginning of the game, because the Manchester City players were just as eager to play this game.
Manchester City's decisive and resolute pass after the kick-off also broke through Liverpool's defense in an instant, taking advantage of the fact that the Liverpool players did not gain a firm foothold for the time being.
Qin Lang felt quite speechless, less than a minute into the opening game, Manchester City sent a beautiful diagonal pass; Out of position and empty, Silva volleyed straight with his foot and smashed the ball the outside of his instep.
Fortunately, Qin Lang has a very correct attitude towards the game, and he is in a good position when he is fully prepared; Facing this roaring shot, Qin Lang held up the crossbar with one hand.
"Guys, the game has begun!"
Qin Lang shouted loudly to his teammates, only one minute after the game started, the opponent broke through the defense and sent a beautiful shot, all of which made Qin Lang know that the game had completely begun.
There is not even any brewing at all, and it has entered the white-hot stage, which is the strong dialogue; When two top players meet, they don't necessarily need much warm-up, because they need a lethal blow.
'Be mindful of expanding our defensive area, we need to get a little bit more out of the box. Gentlemen, you all know what I mean. ā
Enrique and Johnson all know what Qin Lang means, expanding the defensive area is on the one hand to strengthen the protection of the penalty area, and on the other hand, it is also looking for opportunities to insert assists at any time.
I have to admit that the insertion of assists by defenders is also part of Liverpool's tactics, and the reason is naturally that Liverpool actually need more changes in attack. is also because Qin Lang is very confident, when the defenders put part of their energy into the offensive end, Qin Lang can also ensure that the team has a good performance on the defensive end.
The game did get into a heated pitch, with both teams opting to put more effort into the attacking end of the pitch from the start of the game, and they are now battling it off.
Qin Lang stood in front of the goal with excitement on his face, although the strong dialogue will bring enough tension, but the pleasure brought by such a master's move is unstoppable. Qin Lang likes to abuse vegetables very much, but what he prefers is for two teams of equal strength to play a wonderful and tense game, and such a close game will make people more engaged and happy.
Qin Lang may not be the only one who likes strong conversations, although it will be easier to face some weaker teams, and the individual performance of the players may also improve. It's just this kind of strong dialogue that can witness the real heroes, and the superstars are not produced when they are abusive, they will step up in the crucial games.
Qin Lang may need to step up, because the Blue Moon players have a very correct attitude towards this game, their desire to win makes people feel huge pressure, these guys obviously want to score, want to win at home, what they want is to get three points at the Etihad Stadium to narrow the points gap with Liverpool and ensure that the score is tightened to retain the hope of defending the title.
watched the fierce physical confrontation between teammates and the players of the Blue Moon, and watched the people on the pitch turn on their backs; Qin Lang is only excited now, this is the attitude that a tough team should have, this is the biggest attraction of strong dialogue to fans and players, this is the charm of peak duels and masters.
In the seventh minute of the game, the blue moon finally broke through the Reds' midfield defense; Milner crosses from the left and Garcia heads it in. But Qin Lang came out of nowhere, and the ruthless air defense net standing in front of the goal instantly took Garcia's header directly into his arms, and Qin Lang's second beautiful defense in the game was completed.
Blue Moon's performance after the opening of the game was amazing, although their form this season has been up and down and it feels unsteady, but the overall strength of this team is still very strong, and they can still threaten the goal guarded by Qin Lang.
Seeing that Blue Moon had started a beautiful attack, the Red Army officers and soldiers were naturally not to be outdone; Although this is on the road, Liverpool are not going to be honestly passive, they are starting to fight for possession, the Reds are starting to organise their attack, and now it's time to start going back and forth!
Qin Lang laughed, Liverpool's players were not timid at all, although they were penetrated by Manchester City's players several times, and they hit several threatening shots at the beginning of the game.
But the Reds did not choose to be conservative, they courageously chose-for-tat tactics, and Liverpool's defenders did not choose to retreat to the defense. Rush out at every opportunity, always ready to create a goalscoring opportunity with the triumvirate, and scoring a goal at the Etihad Stadium to walk away with the win is Liverpool's goal.
Qin Lang is not worried about the quality of the team's defense at all, although Liverpool's defenders have basically rushed out, but the tacit understanding between those guys and Qin Lang is getting better and better, and these people don't need Qin Lang to remind them all the time now.
He was decisive when he should rush out for an attacking opportunity, but when he couldn't do anything, he immediately retreated. Although this kind of running distance is longer and the test of physical fitness is greater, everyone is willing to eat it, because it can bring victory to the team, and of course, it is not ruled out that it can make the players have more opportunities to show their individual strength.
Qin Lang belongs to the kind of confidence and is satisfied with the quality of his teammates; Those guys may not be the most outstanding and top-notch in terms of personal strength, but it is certain that these guys are the type that is very suitable for Qin Lang.
In addition to being more assured of the strength of his teammates, the reason why Qin Lang is so confident is naturally because he is full of confidence in his personal strength. What is certain is that Qin Lang believes that he can handle most of the defenses, and he believes that it is not a simple matter for the opponent to break his ten finger level.
Liverpool is starting to exert its power, in any case, it is impossible to simply let Manchester City play in this game, and the counterattack is coming!
In the fourteenth minute, Johnson delivered a beautiful pick-and-roll that was met by a low-level mistake by Joe Hart, who lacked the height of his jump, so the ball slipped through his fingertips.
Sturridge stopped the ball for a one-on-one chance and he got past Joe Hart into the six-yard box; It's a pity that Nastasic, who was chased back due to too big a stoppage, cleared the ball first.
Qin Lang is very regretful, what a good opportunity this is, but it's a pity that Liverpool couldn't grasp it, otherwise it would have taken the lead!
There is an atmosphere of uneasiness at the Etihad Stadium, although Joe Hart is a little different from Qin Lang, but it is certain that Joe Hart is the kind of goalkeeper who is quite good.
It may be certain that Qin Lang's personal strength is too top-notch, so he stands alone in the ranks of the top goalkeepers. And Joe Hart and Neuer occupy the position of the second goalkeeper, it is certain that their strength is quite good, but compared to Qin Lang, there is really a big gap.
It's not that Joe Hart is not strong enough, it can only be said that Qin Lang is too powerful, and Qin Lang has raised the ranking of goalkeepers to an unimaginable height. The current result is that Qin Lang is far ahead alone, and some other high-quality goalkeepers may have good strength and performance, but they are only speechless to treat Qin Lang, and it is really difficult to match.
Joe Hart is not at all expected to be the number one goalkeeper right now, it is not realistic at all; It is more realistic to do a good job as their main goalkeeper of Manchester City, and it is acceptable if they continue to maintain a high level of performance in the Three Lions.
The reality is that Qin Lang's guy is too terrifying, and the non-human Qin Lang is the existence that makes other goalkeepers desperate. Being in the same era as Qin Lang is the biggest misfortune for these goalkeepers, especially for a goalkeeper with good strength like Joe Hart, the comparison between the two can only show that the gap between him and Qin Lang is too big.
It is unrealistic to expect to survive until the retirement of the great roadblock Kahn like German goalkeeper Lehmann, because Joe Hart's age is not necessarily younger than Qin Lang, and even this guy's birthday is a month earlier than Qin Lang.
So accept the reality with peace of mind, this is the reality that this generation of goalkeepers need to face.
The test of Joe Hart continues, and it is not far away at all, it is this game.
As Liverpool slowly took control of the ball, the Blues began to need to be tested more; Joe Hart was under a lot of pressure as Liverpool's shots made him concede at any moment and their defensive quality began to drop.
In the 16th minute, Liverpool created a corner, Downing headed in a corner from the right, and Carragher fired over the crossbar from close range. Two minutes later, Sturridge forced a cross back from the left and Suarez fired a 12-yard shot that Joe Hart dodged.
But Liverpool made a comeback, just minutes later, when Lescott cleared the ball and kicked it to Sturridge, the ball bounced off Suarez and then the Liverpool striker's right-hand shot into the far corner went just wide.
The exclamations at the Etihad Stadium are one after another, and this is the biggest test for Blue Moon fans, because Liverpool's current offensive is too fierce! (To be continued.) )
