1429 Blow you up!
Gerrard's long-range shot was brilliantly saved by Hart! Hart looked in fine form today and Liverpool looked like they needed more effort to find the back of the net against Manchester City today. ”
Liverpool's first corner and Gerrard ran to take the corner.
Liverpool's attacking players at the back come up and prepare to scramble for a header in the box.
Gerrard's corner landed well, right in front of goal where it would be awkward for the goalkeeper to strike.
Thiago Silva broke free from Lescott's defence to get to the back of the net and jumped up to head the ball towards goal.
It's a pity that the top is a little positive, and the football is blocked by Hart reaching out to the right in place!
Manchester City fans who arrived at Anfield applauded Hart's back-to-back saves.
"Hart was brave enough to keep out Liverpool's must-have goal again! Thiago Silva almost headed home! Manchester City fight back! Nasri played the ball to the right in front of the box. Milner made a quick stride and kicked the ball through the midfield. The Liverpool backline is in a hurry! ”
Manchester City's counter-attack really caught Liverpool off guard.
The first was the right transition between attack and defence, and the second was the pace of the push, with Milner stepping up the right flank to leave the sporadic Liverpool midfielder behind him.
There was only Mascherano, Skrtel and Baines left in the backline.
Milner got up front after getting to the ball and passed the ball down the middle without waiting for Baines to press closely.
David Silva followed up with possession here and Mascherano was already set to foul.
However, David Silva did not give him that chance, as Silva sent the ball to the feet of Sergio Aguero in front of the box with a diagonal cross close to the ground.
Sergio Aguero cut inside on the left in front of the penalty area, and Skrtel lowered his center of gravity to defend, but when the two were one-on-one, Aguero was more flexible to dunk the ball into the box, and Skrtel was shaken by Aguero!
Sergio Aguero went alone!
Reyna had just taken two steps away from goal, and Aguero calmly pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, into the far corner!
Reyna couldn't make a save and turned his head to watch in disbelief as the ball rolled into the Liverpool goal!
Aguero roared and rushed to the sidelines after breaking the goal, and Mancini, who was on the sidelines, shook his fist fiercely, quite exhaling and raising his eyebrows!
"Man City were the first to open the scoring at Anfield! The success of the corner gave City a very good chance to counter-attack, and they did a great job of transitioning the attack and defence, and then the attack was pushed forward to the front of the pitch, and the ball was passed quickly before finally to the feet of Sergio Aguero.
The Argentine striker got past Skrtel one-on-one and then pushed the ball home!
Manchester City are ahead in this battle for the top spot!
It's really unexpected. ”
"We have to admit that Manchester City's offensive and defensive system this season has been very mature, the defense dare not say how, at least some basic offensive routines, they have been perfected, like this counterattack opportunity, the top teams should be able to play well, with Manchester City's strength on paper, they should also do well, and now they have achieved this, as for positional battles or other different game environments, how they are capable is, everyone can see, but the most basic things, they are very mature."
The Liverpool crowd was furious when they saw the team concede.
Manchester City will be more confident because of this goal, as if they had beaten Liverpool!
At least it makes them understand: Liverpool's goal is not impossible to penetrate, and Liverpool is not impossible to fall behind in the game!
There is a situation that the media probably did not even envision.
If Anfield falls!
Manchester City will be eight points ahead of Liverpool in the standings!
I'm afraid only the people of Manchester City would think like this.
Now Manchester City lead Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield!
After the game restarted, Qin Xiong gestured to his teammates to make the game faster!
Liverpool started to run fast.
The players frequently kicked the ball into each other, and the attacking push was accelerated at the right time, creating panic in the Manchester City defence.
In the 14th minute of the game, Gerrard and Kuyt played together on the right side of the front, and then Gerrard sent the ball straight into the penalty area, and Raul's volley from a small angle was confiscated by Hart after the successful anti-offside.
City became more and more confident, and in the 17th minute, David Silva exchanged passes with Nasri in front of the game and passed the ball back to Yaya Toure, who broke into the wall with Sergio Aguero and then got up in front of the box to shoot from distance!
The soccer ball, which looked like a cannonball, was slightly above the crossbar less than thirty centimeters.
Sliding the door through!
This made the Liverpool fans in the stands break out in a cold sweat.
The Manchester City that catches your eye really has a sense of immediacy.
Confident, mature, and fluent in attack and defense.
In the 21st minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball on the left side of the front.
He attracted the attention of Yaya Toure, Richards, and Milner's three, and the three formed a trap circle, and then Qin Xiong made a breakthrough.
He took a step towards the left side of Richards, Richards focused his attention, and was extra vigilant against Qin Xiong's breakthrough, he quickly retreated to protect the space around him, not giving Qin Xiong a chance to break through.
Qin Xiong had to pause, Milner pressed from behind, Qin Xiong took a step in the direction of the ball close to the sideline, and Yaya Toure decisively grabbed it!
In their opinion, Qin Xiong had fallen into an embattled situation!
Genius also has a time of end!
Superstars, there are times when they can't go back!
Milner and Yaya Toure went up together, Richards didn't move, and he wouldn't give Qin Xiong room to dribble through.
In their opinion, the next moment, it must be Qin Xiong who is cut off, or destroys the football at his feet, giving Liverpool a sideline ball.
It doesn't matter, this means that Manchester City trapped Qin Xiong, and it is a defensive victory!
Knock him off the altar!
The Man chestnut thought with hatred in his heart.
But just as Milner and Yaya Toure came to press, Qin Xiong, who seemed to be breezy and calm, gently flicked the ball backwards with his right foot.
Milner was shocked and subconsciously tried to clamp his legs, but it was too late.
The ball rolled between his legs and backwards.
It was Qin Xiong's return pass, but it still made Milner embarrassed.
Qin Xiong's expression exploded with a serious expression after the ball, like a whirlwind rushing past Richards.
At the same time, the ball that had pierced Milner's crotch rolled to the feet of Baines, who had come up with the assist.
Baynes kicked the ball out and sent a straight ball to the ground!
It was the place where Yaya Toure was snatched from before.
Qin Xiong cut inside around the back at a gallop!
The Man City people are in a huge panic!
Still tricked by him!
In the end, Qin Xiong deliberately didn't break through Richards just now, or did he show weakness to the enemy and set up a full set to expose the left area of the front court?
No one knows, only Qin Xiong knows it.
In short, now Qin Xiong touched the ball at the edge of the penalty area, cut the ball inside, and rushed into the penalty area of Manchester City with murderous intent! (To be continued.) )
