Football’s First Defender

Liverpool's super offensive ability, even in the face of second-ranked Manchester City, also played a very good offensive effect.

Manchester City took the initiative to show weakness and put up a defensive formation, but did not expect that the desired defensive effect was not played, and Liverpool scored two goals in a row.

Manchester City, who scored two goals, was pushed into desperation just over 20 minutes into the game.

At this time, the defense has no much effect. Manchester City needs to attack, they need to attack Liverpool's defense, and strive to recover the score.

Otherwise, if Liverpool really won the victory in this direct dialogue, although Manchester City has one round less, but Liverpool are leading by 7 points, it will not be easy for Manchester City to recover the points gap in the last few rounds. .

With the changes in Manchester City's tactics, although Manchester City's defense has to bear greater defensive pressure, at this time, Manchester City cannot be tolerated anymore, and even if it is conservative, it may not necessarily limit Liverpool's attack.

Not to mention the overall defensive line moving forward, even among midfielders, the midfielder Fernandinho, who was supposed to be responsible for the team's midfield defense, began to effectively participate in the team's offensive system.

For Manchester City, except for the central defender who can only play the role of receiving the ball in the positional attack, everyone else has begun to show that it belongs to Manchester City's offensive suppressing power.

Wing players should set the edges, and the center players should intersperse.

Manchester City players performed their duties and began to show their equally powerful offensive capabilities.

In the face of Manchester City's offense, Liverpool did not focus too much on strengthening defense.

With the advantage of two goals, Liverpool can play more freely.

Sometimes, in the game, whoever plays more easily can play more relaxed and perform better.

Liverpool performed extremely well in the first half today. Even in the face of Manchester City's attack in the last 20 minutes, Liverpool did not hesitate to go straight up.

The two sides fought against each other and created quite good offensive opportunities. In this situation, the offensive players of the two teams were given the opportunity to fully demonstrate their offensive talents.

In comparison, Liverpool still has some advantages.

Although Kompany is also a very good central defender, as far as the central defender is concerned, Liverpool’s Yang Feng partner Scotter is definitely much better than Manchester City’s Kompany partner Demichelis.

Under the outstanding performance of the defense line led by Yang Feng, Manchester City’s offense, even with diversity, can also cause a certain passing threat. However, in the final stage of the goal, they are always taken care of by Liverpool and want to form Threatening the door is not so easy.

Skrtel defends Dzeko and allows Yang Feng to move freely to limit the impact of other Manchester City players on Liverpool's penalty area.

In the game, David Silva repeatedly wanted to send a through ball to Liverpool's penalty area, looking for Nasri or Navas, who has a fairly strong explosive speed, to create a direct threat in the penalty area.

However, Silva's motive for passing the ball is always felt by Yang Feng.

In the penalty area, Yang Feng kept watching. When Silva was about to pass the ball, Yang Feng would start to move around with his heart, to solve this gap, or directly intercept the pass or make up defense. In place, limit Manchester City's direct attack in this area.

Yang Feng's excellent defense has helped Liverpool to close his defense time and time again, and can play Liverpool's quick counterattack, further threatening Manchester City's goal.

The combination of 3s and Coutinho, Liverpool's counterattack speed, counterattack quality, top the Premier League, and even top Europe.

Throughout the second half of the first half, Liverpool created at least 3 counterattacks.

Just let Demichelis use a yellow card to resolve it once, and Joe Hart bravely saved a Sturridge shot, and Sterling's own shooting skills were not perfect, in a nearly single-handed opportunity. At that time, I did not grasp it.

In the half of the game, Liverpool scored more than 60% of the ball. The shot ratio reached 8 to 2, and the shot ratio was 4 to 1. Liverpool scored two goals and achieved a 2 to 0 lead.

Such a strong matchup involves the competition for the Premier League title. Even if Liverpool is at home, but can play such a repressive game, it can also be seen how strong Liverpool is this season.

During the intermission, Manchester City made the final mobilization in the visiting team's locker room.

"A season of hard work again!"

"Everyone work hard!"

"Catch the gap between these two goals!"

If you don't break out in a desperate situation, you will die in a desperate situation.

Manchester City, with their strong players, belongs to a team that can break out.

The champion team two years ago, once emerged, is the most powerful contender for the championship in the Premier League in recent years.

Even though Liverpool have reached a terrifying level on both offensive and defensive ends this year, the Manchester City players, after getting rid of their psychological burden, showed their best self and came to counterattack in the second half.

As soon as the second half of the game began, Manchester City took the lead in the offensive.

Unlike in the first half, they tried to find Silva as a point for the ball. In the case of penetration in the center and unable to play a very good offensive effect, Manchester City began to pursue the simplest wing attack style~www.NovelMTL.com~ The personal ability of the players around you to continue to create opportunities.

However, instead of relying solely on Dzeko before, at the beginning of the second half, Manchester City arranged more players in the penalty area to help Dzeko grab points.

Even, Aguero and others on the sidelines were warming up at the beginning of the second half, ready to come off the bench to further enhance Manchester City's offensive.

Navas was on the right, facing Flanagan's defense.

Navas, who has the advantages of speed and technology, is able to do well under Flanagan's defense.

There is no need to accelerate too deliberately. After Navas receives the ball, he can stop the ball directly at the boundary within the Liverpool penalty area, face and face Flanagan, and lure Flanagan to make a mistake.

In the first half, Flanagan was hit and grabbed his foot rashly. He was cleaned by Navas and directly threatened the goal.

At this time, Flanagan only dared to hold his position, but he didn't want to be easily passed by Navas.

However, when the two sides stand and Navas starts, he immediately takes advantage. Although he can't break through Flanagan's defense in the past, he can still open enough passing space with an acceleration.

Flanagan could not limit Navas' passing, and Navas was just a pick pass in order to quickly complete the shot.

However, the location is excellent.

In the penalty area, Dzeko and Silva and others interspersed, attracting the attention of Liverpool's defense.

When Navas really passed the ball, it was a backward pass.

Fernandinho on the backcourt made a volley shot and completed a stunning shot, but Mignolet fell to the ground and threw the ball out of the goal.

Manchester City's offense has worked, but Liverpool's defense is still solid.
