[Sorry, due to equipment failure, the live sound was interrupted just now, and it has now been restored.] 】

[Welcome to continue to watch the live match between Liverpool and Lyicester City in this round.] 】

[Because Benteke missed a good opportunity just now, the team can't take it lightly in the remaining minutes. 】

[No goal on the score, Benteke had a similar situation against Bournemouth last season.] 】

Speaking of the single knife just now, the ruthlessness in the narrator's heart has not been completely eliminated, and the tone is obviously aggravated.

Due to the lack of a single goal just now, the Liverpool players still did not dare to relax in the last few minutes and tried their best to keep this hard-won victory.

When the referee blew the final whistle, there was a deafening cheer over the Anfield stadium.

2:1！

This game, it was too hard to win.

At the end of the 18th round, although Lyicester City lost, the chasers behind them, Arsenal and Manchester United, also lost.

In the top four of the standings, only Manchester City won and finished third with 35 points, with only three points at the top of the table.

In the next round, there will be a big match, Lyicester City hosts Manchester City.

Last season's league runner-up and this season's Christmas champion showdown has attracted the attention of the media.

Maybe even the players of Lyrcester City dare not imagine that they will now face a series of challenges from the traditional giants of the Premier League.

Maybe in the near future, they will give up the top spot.

Now they just want to enjoy the thrill of being at the top of the list.

Ranieri's first task after the game was to correct the mentality of his players.

In the game with Liverpool, the players obviously lost their sense of urgency in terms of mentality.

At halftime, although there are changes through verbal encouragement, it does not solve the problem fundamentally.

Ranieri's first thought was Craig Shakespeare.

The assistant coach has been with the club since '08 and can be described as a senior level.

Although he left the club twice in the middle of the game to go to Hull City and the England national team as an assistant coach, it did not affect his status in the club and the hearts of the players.

"Sir, I'll do my best!" After listening to this, Craig gladly accepted.

"However, if you want to solve it once and for all, you will need it."

Ranieri was stunned and smiled: "I ask for your help because I can't do anything." ”

Craig smiled, "Sir, I think we need a new goal." ”

The relegation task of Lyicester City is basically completed, and the players need to aim higher in order to motivate their fighting spirit.

If you stay on the task of relegation and have no new goals, the players will naturally relax in their mentality.

After understanding Craig's words, Ranieri smiled: "I have always stressed relegation, but I actually don't want to put too much pressure on them. ”

"Kress, you're right, we seem to need a new target."

"But I can't say it to you publicly right now."

Craig understood and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will hint to them that the team's goal is the Europa League." ”

Explicit and implicit, the two methods, the content is the same, but the effect of conveying to the player will be different.

It's like the boss painting you a cake directly, which is far less exciting than what you hear from other people's mouths.

It was a week ahead and Ranieri didn't give his players too much intense training to avoid injury.

Daniel Drinkwater's return gave Ranieri another confidence in Tuesday's game against Manchester City.

The media in England are not optimistic about Lyicester City.

Leicester City have faced strong teams this season with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

The game that was won, or Chelsea, which was in internal and external troubles, was not included in the reference range.

Facing Manchester City in this round, the media unanimously believes that they will face a heavy defeat.

Manchester City's injury list includes the likes of Vincent Kompany, Nasri and Fernando who missed last season's squad due to injury.

But this season, the team bought De Bruyne from Wolfsburg and Raheem Sterling from Liverpool to enrich the team's attacking tools.

Mangala and Otamendi can also make up for City's ageing backline.

All in all, Manchester City is the trench.

Jinyuan Football,

grassroots heroes,

Two extreme teams will usher in a fierce collision.

Arsenal's game is over with a 2-0 win over Bournemouth and they are now narrowly one point ahead of Lyicester City to the top.

If Lyrcester City loses this game, they will be level on 38 points with Manchester City, but they will fall to third place on goal difference.

Claudio Ranieri started this game with Inle in place of Albrighton, which is a clear signal.

In the face of Manchester City's terrifying forward strength, Lyicester City must defend well in midfield first.

Under the referee Craig Paulson's whistle, Manchester City kicked off first.

Manchester City, which mainly plays a pass-and-control role, has taken the midfield to a higher level after De Bruyne joined.

Not only that, but last season's Bundesliga assist leader can pass a penetrating through ball forward, which can give greater support to the forward line.

In the 2nd minute, Manchester City dominated the anti-visitors.

De Bruyne, on the right, sent a curling ball to the ground, which went directly behind Inle and Fox, and accurately gave it to the feet of Aguero who cut in forward.

Lycester City's defence was shocked into a cold sweat.

They see a lot of through balls, but this kind of long-distance pass that can turn is really rare.

And it is also directly through the two lines of defense of the midfielder and the defender.

Morgan kicked his legs hard before Aguero could shoot, extending his right foot to seal the angle.

Syllable!

The ball hits Morgan's right leg, refracts and flies towards the back post.

Hutter didn't have time to observe the situation around him, and directly pushed the ball out of the bottom line with his head, safety first.

Ranieri rushed to the sidelines after City's attack and shouted a shoutout to his players to pay attention to the defense around them.

De Bruyne's pass, too weird, not only the distance is long, but also the speed.

The most lethal thing is that the trajectory of the ball is that it flies forward in an arc close to the ground, which can bypass multiple defenders.

If we say that Beckham's passing is precision guidance in the air.

De Bruyne's pass, then, was a fatal blow that shuttled on the ground.

The arcs of the two have the same effect.

This kind of passing makes it difficult for defenders to block the line of passing.

If you focus too much on the passing line, you will inevitably ignore the attacking players who pop up from behind.

In the previous team against Manchester City, the defender was obviously stuck in front of him, and even the sliding tackle could not prevent the ball from flying in front of his eyes and passing to the attacking player behind him.

This arc slash close to the ground really lives up to its name.

At the moment of De Bruyne's pass, Rossi was behind him, saw it clearly, and tried his passing posture as well

After doing this a few times, Rossi felt very unwell.

"Sure enough, unique skills are not so easy to learn."

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
