1386 Change formation to scare the opponent
Manchester City couldn't understand Liverpool's style of play in the second half.
Because of Liverpool's technical and tactical changes, Manchester City has become very chaotic even the most basic midfield organization.
There are a lot of people in the midfield!
There are so many people!
Liverpool's two full-backs are premised on the premise that after a wave of attacks, Liverpool's full-backs, midfielders, and forwards squeeze into the midfield together.
In the past, teams with wings on both wings were able to bypass the dense crowd of midfield and open gaps from the flanks.
However, Liverpool now have a large number of players in midfield to snipe at Manchester City's attack.
This left City a little panicked.
To say that Manchester City have no chance of attacking the attacking line at all?
Neither is it!
However, the success rate is too low.
Midfielders have less time on the ball, less time for them to make choices, and even more so to see their teammates' movements and deliver the ball to their feet with precision.
Suddenly, the midfield became Liverpool's world, and Manchester City didn't even have a foothold.
In the 51st minute of the game, Bari's midfielder made a long pass over the top under the pressure of Gerrard and Suarez.
Milner sprinted past Baines and he sprinted towards his area as a wing-back, but just as he was about to stop the ball, Tiott scrambled to the ball and played it back to Skrtel.
Liverpool's two midfielders, Marcos Alonso and Theot, have more time to observe the opposition's attack, especially when the opponent plays the ball behind him, and the two are able to react more quickly.
Liverpool's attack was a bit unreasonable.
There are many people!
53rd minute of the game. Flanagan receives Gerrard's pass on the right side of the pitch. He passed the ball to Suarez, who was closest to him.
Suarez slammed the ball diagonally back to Cabaye's feet under the trap of Frenkie de Jong and defender Klich.
Cabaye takes the ball out. handed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong on the left side in front of the penalty area.
Liverpool's attacking pass hit an "M" line.
After quickly transferring the ball to Qin Xiong's feet, Qin Xiong made a cross-cut but pulled back and then broke through to the bottom line.
After being deceived, Richards immediately turned around and returned to the baseline.
By this time, City's entire back line had all retreated into the box.
At this time, Qin Xiong passed the ball back behind him.
Baynes still played the ball down the flank, if he had overlooked City's half.
It is clear that Liverpool have a lot more players outside the box than Manchester City!
Baynes, Cabaye, Gerrard, Flanagan and Alonso, who stands near the halfway line.
Baines crossed the ball to Cabaye, who tested Joe Hart with an unmarked long-range shot.
The ball will fly into the near corner of the goal. But Hart swooped in and blocked the ball with one palm.
With Hart unable to use his strength, he had to passively block the ball, which caused the ball he blocked to bounce into the six-yard box.
Richards and Vincent Kompany were the first to protect the goal, but someone was quicker than them to rush to the ball and deftly smash it towards goal.
Hart fell to the ground and raised his hand to try to block the ball, but he couldn't reach it!
The soccer ball crashed into the goal!
Kompany and Richards ran to the door in vain, and the two of them looked up to the sky and sighed!
"Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong scored two goals! Cabaye's long-range shot created Joe Hart to make a save, and Qin Xiong was smart enough to smash the ball into the back of the net in front of goal. Liverpool extended their lead at the start of the second half, 3:1! ”
After Qin Xiong broke the goal, he rushed directly out of the bottom line, stretched out his arms, and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate with a smile on his face.
Liverpool fans roared with joy in the nearby stands.
Mancini looked solemn on the sidelines.
He was roaring inwardly: What the hell is Liverpool doing?!
It looks like Liverpool are on the attack, but it doesn't look like a shipwreck.
It can only be said that Liverpool has put on a "strange formation"!
Extremely oppressive!
Manchester City has never experienced it, and they were blinded all of a sudden.
In particular, the defensive strategy deployed before the game can be thrown into the dustbin.
The joint defense between the players and the targeted defense lost the target. The order was broken, and they really didn't expect Liverpool to give up the mature 433. Turn to play like this 4222.
Koeman is not giving up anything, but he is improving Liverpool's technical and tactical system, and now he can't conclude that Liverpool will insist on playing 4222, he has to see the effect, one or two games can't say anything, and the most important thing is to be able to continue to be strong.
Manchester City were caught off guard and couldn't figure out how to deal with Liverpool.
The changes to Liverpool's side have allowed them to make more use of the width of the field, particularly in terms of passing organisation, and they are able to pass the ball quickly forward, backward, left and right, and walk the opposition in a daze.
Manchester City tried to speed up the pace of the game to disrupt Liverpool's tactical system, but they themselves were the first to mess up.
In the 66th minute, Yaya Toure and Barry exchanged passes to each other, and he wanted to pass the ball to David Silva on the left flank.
But the two didn't expect to go together, David Silva was ready to play offside, Yaya Toure didn't seem to have much confidence in David Silva's speed, causing him to lose the target of the ball at David Silva's feet, and Flanagan cut the ball directly and passed it to Gerrard, who was running in front of him.
Gerrard crossed the ball from the right in front of the penalty area to Qin Xiong, who cut through the middle.
Under the watchful eye of De Jong and Barry, Qin Xiong leisurely knocked the ball lightly, and Cabaye, who was inserted in the back, sent a through ball.
Suarez sprinted past Lescott, who would not have let Suarez slip away if he hadn't had a long-range shot from Cabaye.
Now that he hastily turned around and tried to stop Suarez, it was impossible.
Suarez was successful in the offside position and volleyed diagonally into the net from inside the box to send the ball past Joe Hart.
The distance was too close, and Joe Hart wanted to block it but it was too late.
Liverpool lead Manchester City 4-1.
Mancini was a little disappointed to see this, but he also took every detail of the pitch to heart, knowing that Manchester City already had the capital to rise, but he still had a lot of work to do to build the team into a true champion.
Koeman also lost interest in the game.
Perhaps because of Liverpool's terrifying and strong performance in the past two seasons, Liverpool has changed slightly, and the opponent is like a frightened bird.
Obviously, Manchester City were scared silly!
Rather than actually being beaten by Liverpool in a calm down, it also has something to do with Manchester City's mentality changing in the first half after falling behind in the first half.
After Liverpool started to pull off their money, City scored a goal through a fast break through Dzeko.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 4-2 at the new Wembley Stadium to win the Community Shield. (To be continued.) )
