Chapter 152 Red and Blue Masters, Peak Showdown
Mortal enemy, what is a mortal enemy?
The coaches of both sides don't need to talk about it at the pre-match press conference.
Because they know it very well.
What is calm is an illusion, and it is the truth to be incompatible with genius.
Don't look at it as just a commercial exhibition match.
But once the main players of both sides play the game, they will definitely hold back their energy and kill each other.
So are the fans.
It has to be said that the battle between deadly enemies can most ignite the enthusiasm of fans.
The entire Yankee Stadium was densely packed with spectators. In addition to the red jerseys of the Liverpool team that filled the sky, there were also a group of diehard fans dressed in the blue of Manchester City.
Before the game started, the stands of both sides were already full of gunpowder.
at last.
With the whistle of the referee, this deadly enemy battle officially kicked off.
Uncle Zha is a fanatic of attacking football.
Guashuai is the heir to Cruyff's football control.
At the beginning, the two sides each displayed their best technical and tactical characteristics, and after a round of tentative attacks from each other, the form of the game went straight to a fever pitch.
The first to make a move was Guardiola, who was more proficient in on-the-spot mobilization.
Manchester City's performance last season was very good!
Under the public relations of the club chairman, they bought the new "Mr. Billion" Glarish. It is worth mentioning that Cancelo behind Glarish has also seen a rapid increase in goals in the past two seasons.
Guardiola thought that Manchester City would leave Liverpool far this season, but he didn't expect Liverpool to have a stronger goalkeeper.
Since the debut of the last friendly match against the Los Angeles Galaxy, Liverpool's odds on the major markets in the new season have surpassed Blue Moon.
How can Guardiola swallow this breath!
It can be said that except for the Chinese goalkeeper, he knows the details of other Liverpool players.
But Klopp actually took away the Chinese player's starting lineup in this game.
This is just great!
Other teams may be overwhelmed by Klopp's all-out attack, but Guardiola will not. Since Liverpool is proactive, Manchester City will take the initiative to slow down the pace, not compete with the opponent's speed, and insist on passing and controlling.
In Gua Shuai's eyes, Liverpool's formation is not monolithic.
Arnold's left leg injury has not healed so far, so the weakest link on the Liverpool field must be Milner who plays right back!
Therefore, Gua Shuai began to mobilize troops and generals.
The first is to replace Glarish, who was mediocre in this game, with Sterling.
The latter just wasted a wonderful escape from seat B (Bernardo Silva), and the shot looked extremely weak!
What Mr. Billion?
In my Pep Guardiola team.
No matter who it is, they must pay the price for their actions...
The second is to make the offense with the ball simple and crisp, with unlimited vitality and explosive power, and Foden, who has crushed the veteran Milner, moves to the left.
There is only one purpose.
Let Foden and Cancelo repeatedly attack Milner, who is gradually unable to keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm.
The effect of this adjustment was immediate!
Originally, it was Grealish who briefly faced Milner on the left of Manchester City. The latter is an attacker who relies on his own dribbling rhythm to pass people and stir up the opponent's rib defense.
This technical feature is not impossible for the experienced Milner.
But when Foden came, the situation immediately reversed.
After the opening 15 minutes, Manchester City dominated the situation on the field.
They cut off Liverpool's forward route, and more often Liverpool can only look for the front trident directly from the backcourt, but the effect is not good!
But Liverpool's right flank has almost become a test field for Blue Moon's wanton offensive routines!
Although Guashuai's vision is indeed vicious and his on-the-spot scheduling is indeed decisive, Liverpool's own tactical execution on the right is also very problematic.
The most typical example is Captain Henderson, who has been proactively mopping up defenses on the right half of the defense before.
So much so that when Manchester City's attack speeded up and they tried their best to tear up Milner's fragile defense zone, the first one who came back to help defend was striker Salah.
Because of this, for most of the first half, Liverpool, who was beaten seven inches by Manchester City, once defended shakyly, and all Liverpool fans were anxious to see.
Especially Foden has almost become the most threatening point in Manchester City's offense.
His breakthroughs and crosses on the left made Liverpool jittery in front of the goal. Although Milner defended with all his strength, it was very difficult to deal with it.
It is a pity that after losing Aguero, Manchester City has always been the biggest weakness in terms of offensive finishers, and has been unable to seize the opportunity to score for a long time.
However, when Liverpool's right was tightly suppressed by Blue Moon.
The left flank led by Mane is still groping. He and the proactive Jota seem to be not in the same rhythm at all.
With such a big disadvantage, losing the ball is inevitable!
In the 38th minute, Manchester City finally received the rewards of a timely change.
When Liverpool's Jones got the ball in Manchester City's midfield, he had a big defensive problem, and De Bruyne and the B seat hit the wall several times and successfully crossed the defense line.
Immediately afterwards, with a broad vision and precise direct pass, De Bruyne, the active world No. [-] midfielder, accurately found Foden who was advancing.
A through pass was just right into Foden's forward path.
Since Sterling greatly involved the energy of the Liverpool defenders in the middle at this time, Foden was unguarded when he took the ball from a far point.
Facing Adrian, Foden successfully hit the goal easily from a small angle!
0: 1!
Foden shouted excitedly, and his teammates ran over to celebrate with him.
This goal completely ignited Yankee Stadium.
Manchester City fans stood up and gave their cheers.
Guardiola shook his fist fiercely off the court.
Won!
Next, as long as you continue to tear Liverpool's right-sided defense, Manchester City's blue will definitely score goals!
In contrast, Liverpool's situation is a bit grim.
Head coach Klopp folded his arms and watched City celebrate with a frown.
Immediately afterwards, he looked back at the bench, his eyes froze for a moment on Liu Ming's face, and then he looked at Firmino and raised his hand.
The team conceded the ball, and Firmino, who was dejected, saw the coach's gesture, and immediately became full of fighting spirit.
"Roberto, you will replace Jota later!"
"The midfielder must be able to hold the ball, so that Manchester City can continue to exert pressure on the frontcourt!"
"Tell Milner, let go of your hands and feet when defending! Show me Foden!"
"Coach, I understand!"
Firmino nodded solemnly.
After playing, Fimi conveyed Uncle Zha's instructions to Milner.
Milner nodded, knowing that Uncle Zha hoped that he could decisively use tactical fouls and other methods to prevent the opponent from scoring the ball after advancing.
It's a pity that in front of Manchester City's small fast-spirited attack group who can advance with the ball, Jones, who is a little sticky to the ball and has a sense of presence, and the Heng team, who is obsessed with fighting spirit, did not perform well enough.
Five minutes later, Liverpool's midfield defense fell.
It is still Liverpool's right, once again pierced by Blue Moon!
Facing the dexterous Foden, Milner seemed powerless.
Coupled with the confusion in Liverpool's midfield interception and defense configuration, resulting in a "criminal leak" where no midfielder at the top of the arc is present, allowing De Bruyne to comfortably complete the push in front of the goal. Although the ball was refracted by Matip, the goal was also a matter of course.
0: 2!
Half time has not passed, unknowingly.
In this peak match between the red and blue masters, Liverpool quietly fell into desperation!
