Sky TV, match commentator George Woodgate was talking about the goal just now, and after replaying the slow motion, the screen quickly locked on Wan Sheng's little finger raised towards the fan stands, George Woodgate commented on the action with a smile, "Wan Sheng responded to the provocation of Liverpool fans with his actions! ”

Woodgate has commented on a lot of Wansheng games and has a good understanding of Wansheng.

"This is Wansheng! That's him! In the Premier League, there are two very distinctive managers, one is Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, and the other is Wan Sheng! ”

"Both of them are very good at thinking about the players and very good at leadership, so they are going to do well in the team!"

"The two are very sharp in their words in terms of treating their opponents and each other's news media, and Wan Sheng is better than Mourinho in that even if he is an opposing fan, he will not be afraid!"

"Look at the present, Liverpool, Anfield Stadium, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans' hatred of Wan Sheng is obvious, maybe Liverpool fans want to use this way to increase pressure on Manchester City, but Wan Sheng is not a loser, he was provoked." The camera camera points to a banner in the east stand, which still reads 'Wan win, get out of Anfield', with George Woodgate continuing, "so he's going to come back defiantly, and the little finger raised after the goal is the most powerful way to fight back!" ”

"Of course, we don't advocate this, just like the trouble Wansheng has encountered now, provoking fans must be a violation, and it will definitely be blamed by the referee, there are too many fans on the other side, and there is a certain danger, but Wansheng did it, this is his style, unique style, after this moment. Maybe some people will expect Liverpool to do well and be motivated to equalise, but I've talked about a lot of games where we have won and I think what we should expect from Manchester City next. The suspense of the game may not be too great anymore. ”

That's how George Woodgate understands the game.

He has carefully watched a lot of games led by Wan Sheng, and in his impression, if the game is still very difficult, perhaps there is a lot of suspense, Wan Sheng will not take the initiative to make a provocative move, if he does this, it means that the game has brought little psychological pressure to him, that is, it is not difficult for Manchester City to win.

Of course. There were also those who didn't understand it that way, especially the Liverpool fanatical supporters, but when the game restarted, they found that the game was indeed going according to George Woodgate.

Liverpool have conceded a goal, the score is already behind, and if they want to win or draw, they can only choose to attack, and when the game resumes. They also tried to level the scores, but City were 'able to withstand pressure'. They took advantage of a few Liverpool passing errors to launch several waves of rapid counter-attacks, watching such a game, it was as if Manchester City had changed their tactics, but when they thought so, they saw that Manchester City had changed to a normal style of control again.

This ever-changing style of play. The rhythm of Manchester City's attack is unpredictable, and at the same time, the Liverpool players on the field feel very depressed.

It's not that the game is suppressed and the frustration is caused, no matter how Liverpool is a strong team in the Premier League, it is almost impossible for Manchester City to completely suppress Liverpool. It can only be said that when the game is smooth, there are some advantages in the situation, and that's all, what makes Liverpool fans feel depressed is the change in the rhythm of Manchester City - when Manchester City get the ball, it is difficult to judge how they will play, how fast they pass and receive the ball, whether this wave is fast or progressive, and when this judgment is lost, the Liverpool players feel very uncomfortable.

Sometimes after the ball is converted, they see that the broken ball is in the backfield, so they slowly run back, but one does not pay attention, between the two or three feet of the football, it is to the front, and the kind of fast attack makes them have no time to defend.

Sometimes, on the contrary, when City break the ball, the Liverpool players will feel that it is a good opportunity to attack quickly, and they will rush to the backfield, only to run to the position, only to find that the football is still slowly passing in the opposition half, and there is no rush to attack.

This uncontrollable rhythm made them depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

Even Benitez, who was on the sidelines, was very amazed by Manchester City's style of play, because this kind of rhythm change of attack is definitely very high-end.

Benitez is known as a 'master tactician', and he has a considerable understanding of football tactics, and he uses all kinds of small tactics to knead together to make Liverpool's defense, which is not very good, extremely solid.

As a master tactician, he must have a much more high-end vision than the average player, at least he can see a few waves of Manchester City's attack to know where the core of their attack is - Maurice, David Silva and, if anything, Ivan Crewe on the wing.

These three players are very important to Manchester City's overall tactics.

The most important thing is Morris, he is the core player of the midfield, often when Morris gets the ball, as soon as the speed is raised, the speed of the whole Manchester City will follow, and when he passes the ball slowly, Manchester City will change to ask the advance.

Morris is the benchmark for City's tempo control.

David Silva can be said to be Morris's 'substitute', when Morris is not in a good position, or it is difficult to get the ball, David Silva will come off the bench, as a 'substitute', his approach and role are the same as Morris.

The other player is Ivan Crewe, who is usually on the wing, and whenever he dribbles forward quickly, the attacking speed of the whole City is immediately lifted.

With these three players at the core, they drove City's entire attack.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.

A core player needs to have very strong technical ability, that is to say, first of all, Morris, David Silva and Ivan Crewe must have strong enough personal ability and technology, overall situation, etc., in addition, just these three players are not skilled, all players in the team must cooperate with the overall attack, but the position of the players is different, it is impossible for everyone to pay attention to Morris when attacking, or David Silva and others, so in fact, the speed of launching an offensive to change the rhythm is gradual, such as Morris getting the ball, He picked up the pace and David Silva saw it. It also accelerated, then Downing, Leto Ziegler, Dunn, and then forward, Anelka and other frontcourt players, and so on, the rhythm is slowly changing like this, and this 'slowly' is also very interesting. If a player is too slow to react, he will not be able to keep up with the rhythm, which means that the overall strategy still needs to be played appropriately by everyone in the team.

Taken together, you can see how difficult it is to get a team to adapt to this kind of rhythmic attacking tactics.

But it's also extraordinary!

For example, in the current game, it is difficult for Liverpool players to adapt to Manchester City's constantly changing pace of attack, so they have various defensive running mistakes, giving Manchester City a lot of opportunities, but fortunately, Liverpool's formation retreated quickly and did not concede another goal in the first half.

During the intermission. Benitez explained Manchester City's rhythmic style of play to the whole Liverpool team, just said a rough idea to let all the players understand the opponent's tactics, but in the second half, Liverpool's defensive performance was not much better.

In the understanding of players such as Gerrard and Alonso, they need to defend Manchester City's core players, namely Morris, David Silva and others, but 'waiting' means that there are many players. In particular, Morris and others are midfielders who are often the first to attack. It's still in the middle of the back, and it's very difficult to defend in that position.

So if you want to hold it completely, it still depends on the overall cooperation of the whole Liverpool team.

In addition, in fact, the easiest way is to play against Manchester City, and the attack is the best defense, and this sentence will not be wrong in any game. It's just that Liverpool don't have the same sharp attack to play, and even their ball control ability is much worse than Manchester City, and they want to play against Manchester City, which is not a good choice, which can only make their defense worse. Give Manchester City more chances.

―――

In the second half, Wan Sheng replaced Mesut Ozil, hoping that the young German talent could bring new changes to the team's front.

City did not make any changes to their tactics, and the pattern of play between the two teams was largely the same as in the first half.

Anfield Stadium is occupied by the cheering of Liverpool fans, but on the field, Manchester City is still the leader, Liverpool does not have many opportunities in the front, most of them rely on Gerrard to drive the rhythm, and many times he needs his personal performance.

When Liverpool were passive, Gerrard's role came in.

He is simply the soul of Liverpool, and his performance alone overshadowed the other ten Liverpool players on the field!

Even many media outlets had to sing praises for Gerald.

When Liverpool is very passive, only Gerrard can stand up, but whether he can save Liverpool, not many people are optimistic, because Manchester City still has Morris, Morris will only perform better than Gerrard, in addition, Morris has a better group of teammates.

Morris's performance was undoubtedly outstanding.

Since the start of the game, Morris has not even made mistakes in passing, and at the same time, there are several individual breakthroughs, his superb foot skills, so that Liverpool players are helpless, he is also the core of Manchester City's organization, he continues to make quick passes and receive the ball with his teammates, helping Manchester City play a variety of dazzling combinations.

Whether it is personally or the big picture, Morris is much more dazzling than Gerrard!

Maybe Gerrard was not convinced by Morris before, thinking that he was just a teammate and the team was better, but soon Gerrard's eyes towards Morris became very helpless.

It was a combination of the middle and the left.

Downing broke down the left flank and handed the ball to Morris, who received the pass at the edge of the penalty line, which was a dangerous place for Liverpool to ignore the nearby defence, and two or three players immediately surrounded him.

It was a wave of fast attack for Manchester City, and Morris could only pass back if he wanted to, but his position and movement did not allow him to pass the ball back at the first time, so he could only protect the ball first.

Morris opted for a breakthrough.

When Carragher and Reese pounced, Morris directly changed the ball to the left at a large angle, and then squeezed Carragher to chase the ball, and used the outside of his right foot to change the direction of the ball at a large angle in front of the right, and the ball passed directly through Reese's feet.

Morris spun around sharply and chased past Carragher and Reese to the ball.

Between these movements, it is very fast to talk and nothing, but the kind of waist twisting action that changes direction greatly makes people can't help but grit their teeth when they look at it, and the narrator George Woodgate even said, "I'm really worried that his waist will be broken!" ”

Woodgate didn't have time to say anything, and on the live camera, Morris had already encountered Hyypia.

Hyypia is a veteran who is over 33 years old, and he can still occupy the main position in Liverpool's midfield at the age of 33, which is enough for Hyypia's ability and experience, that is, against such a veteran in the penalty area, Morris dribbled the ball, but put a shooting action on goal.

Hyypia was not moved at all!

His body was just in front of Morris, and there was no room for the opponent to shoot at all, and in his experience, the opponent made a very stupid feint.

But the next moment, Morris shot!

A shot with little strength, it is hard to imagine that when protecting the ball in the penalty area, in the face of Hyypia's defense, he would choose to end with an ordinary push, seeing this shot, many Liverpool fans took a long breath, they felt that the danger was over.

But what did they see next?

The ball slipped between Hyypia's legs and rolled across the left side of the goal line under the slightly blank gaze of goalkeeper Reina.

―――

It wasn't until the football hit the net, the referee pointed to the center circle, and the score on the pitch scoreboard was rewritten, and everyone on the scene recovered from their surprise!

Goal, scored!

But what did they see just now?

"Morris, Lee Morris, his shot went through Hyypia's crotch." George Woodgate was surprised, "To be precise, Morris opted for a crotch-piercing shot and he pushed the ball between Hyypia's feet. ”

Finally, he added, "Goalkeeper Reina didn't react at all! ”

The media and fans at the scene also reacted, and everyone looked at the figure in front of the Liverpool goal with their arms raised excitedly, and the expressions on their faces were so incredible.

They all saw an unbelievable goal just now, the player, the player, after shaking off Carragher and Riese, defended Hyypia in the box, and with an easy push, pushed the ball between Hyypia's legs, and then the ball rolled into the goal.

The whole process looks so smooth, but it feels so incredible when you think about it!

This is God's handiwork! (To be continued.) )
