Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

Klopp's training of the team is very effective.

He pushed Coutinho, who is not very athletic, to the forward position, and let Milner and Emre Can, who are more capable of running, stay in the midfield to help defend Zhao Yi.

He also arranged Reva, who has average assist ability but good defensive position selection, to keep an eye on Zhao Yi.

In addition, Firmino and Lallana can also provide support from the front and back.

Completely lock Manchester City's midfield and backcourt, as well as the connection between the midfield and frontcourt.

Make it impossible for Manchester City's midfield to play a role.

When counterattacking, it is also the first time to find Manchester City's weaknesses on the wing.

It can be said that his tactics are very successful.

Once Manchester City's midfield performs poorly, the defensive pressure in the backcourt will increase.

With Manchester City's current defensive ability, it is indeed difficult to withstand Liverpool's impact.

After Liverpool took the lead, they did not choose to change their style of play, and continued to rush and attack.

Trying to strangle Manchester City completely.

This made Manchester City fans watching the game very worried.

"What happened to Manchester City today?"

"Zhao Yi had a hard time breaking through with the ball!"

"He could only pass the ball... De Bruyne and Sterling didn't play well!"

"Why did Gundogan disappear?"

"Klopp is really good!"

"Dortmund can finish Bayern off, and Liverpool will most likely rise in Klopp's hands!"

"Manchester City's defense has always had problems, and today the midfield was locked up again, which is a big problem!"

"Manchester City's style of play has been studied thoroughly, right?"

"I don't believe Manchester City will lose, go ahead, go!"

"Manchester City's lineup is really not that good, with a lot of talent in the midfield and frontcourt, but the back line is basically the same as the second-rate in the Premier League!"

"In the past, we could rely on offense to drag down the opponent, but once the offense was restricted, there would be a big problem!"

Although Liverpool's relentless pursuit tactics led them by one goal, they knew it was not safe.

So, while their morale was high, they continued to encircle and suppress in the midfield, trying to launch a quick counterattack.

This kind of kicking style looks scary, and the attack is fierce, but their defense is still problematic.

Unfortunately, Manchester City did not seize the defensive loopholes.

After Zhao Yi got the ball, it was difficult for him to get close to Liverpool's dangerous area.

Emre Can and Milner intercepted and interfered like crazy.

And no matter how strong Zhao Yi's breakthrough is, it is difficult for him to stand out from the crowd.

Unless he is given a certain amount of space, he can succeed. This kind of kicking style that takes care of him before receiving the ball and asks for red envelopes like a grandson around his grandfather after receiving the ball is too much for Zhao Yi!

In the high-tempo confrontation, Manchester City got an excellent opportunity in the 20th minute of the game.

Zhao Yi passed the ball to Gundogan in the crowd.

Liverpool's midfield, in conjunction with the retreating striker, surrounded Gundogan.

Zhao Yi then moved forward, and Reva followed Zhao Yi closely, constantly reaching out to interfere.

Zhao Yi was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

I am your father, why do you always follow me?

Gundogan didn't pass the ball to Zhao Yi, but pushed it to Sterling.

Liverpool's defense was very unstable, and the defenders were ready to jump up at any time.

So most of the attention was attracted by Gundogan and Zhao Yi. After Sterling received the ball, he cut inside and entered the penalty area!

He dodged a large gap.

Zhao Yi rushed in from the middle and directly attracted the double-teaming of two central defenders.

Aguero also pulled to the left.

This led to Sterling's chance, which was very good.

Cut inside and then shot!

Mignolet played bravely and lifted the ball over the crossbar!

If it was a close ball, with this kind of power, Mignolet would probably find it difficult to save it in the first time.

Manchester City's corner kick, the penalty area was full of people.

Zhao Yi stood outside at this high point.

Reva didn't look at others at all, just faced Zhao Yi, stretched out his hands, like a plaster monkey.

Although Zhao Yi was taller than him, he didn't handle the high ball very well.

So the shorter Reva’s defense against Zhao Yi was really effective.

“Hey, Reva, he didn’t participate in the team’s attack, and now defending the corner kick has nothing to do with him.

His task is to keep an eye on Zhao Yi.

I guess Guardiola will replace Zhao Yi now, and he can run to the bench to follow Zhao Yi.”

De Bruyne kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Lovren shook his head, and the ball flew out of the penalty area.

Zhao Yi made a counter-run, Sterling grabbed the ball and instantly passed it to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi shook off Reva, but Emre Can and Coutinho came up again.

These players really seemed to have endless energy on the court.

They used either zone defense or man-to-man defense.

A group of people stared at one person.

Whoever the ball was at, they would rush over at the first time.

After Manchester City passed the ball several times in the frontcourt, FernandiniO came up and kicked the ball.

He was blocked by Lovren again, and the ball flew to the side.

Milner got the ball.

Because of the transfer of Zhao Yi and De Bruyne this season, Guardiola clearly told Milner that he could not be the starting midfielder and could only start from the bench.

Milner was very determined to take a pay cut to transfer to Liverpool in search of better development.

In this game, of course, he must use all his energy to prove himself to Manchester City and Guardiola!

Milner took the ball from the side and took off directly.

Manchester City was still attacking just now, so the defense line was a little empty.

Gundogan couldn't keep up with Milner at all, so he could only return to defense from the inside, hoping that his teammates could delay Milner's advancement.

Mangala and Kolarov were dragged behind.

Milner faced Kolarov's defense without any guilt and was full of confidence.

With a burst of kick, he fully utilized his speed and impact to squeeze out of his position and left Kolarov behind.

"Milner is very fast! Liverpool's counterattack!

There are supports in the middle and the wing!

There is a problem with Manchester City's defense!!!"

Although Otamendi rushed back, Segner's speed was too slow.

Zhao Yi had already run back, and Segner was not as fast as the referee.

So, Firmino's middle was indeed restricted.

But no one followed at the back point!

Coutinho and Emre Can were both outflanking at the back point!

Milner kicked the ball out.

The football flew directly across the penalty area and reached the back point!

Segner finally caught up, but Coutinho had already raised his leg to meet the football.

He just slammed the football hard!

This is not Coutinho's main way of scoring, but in the absence of a defender, it is too easy for a talented player like Coutinho to kick this kind of ball.

These are the basic skills of the team's forward training.

Bang!

Two steps away from the left side of the penalty area, Coutinho made the final decision with one kick!

A ground-level slash!

The football rushed into the net.

Joe Hart, who fell to the ground, had no way to stop him.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Liverpool led 2:0 away!

In the Etihad stands, the fans were stunned.

Liverpool kicked like crazy, and their counterattacks were smooth and flowing.

Manchester City was completely defeated.

Coutinho sprinted all the way and slid down to his knees in excitement.

Liverpool players were so excited that they ran over, sat on the ground and hugged Coutinho.

Liverpool fans who came with the team clenched their fists and celebrated wildly.

Klopp jumped all the way excitedly, clenched his fists, and was about to celebrate with a farmer's three punches, but when he thought that it was only more than 20 minutes, he forced himself to restrain his impulse.

Guardiola turned around and yelled at the bench in anger.

He was worried that yelling at the players on the field would affect their condition, so the players on the bench bore his wrath.

What the hell is this?
