Manchester City made all three substitutions, and manager Pep Guardiola looked very nervous in the home team’s coaching area, he had done everything he could, and the rest could only be done by eleven players on the field.

Liverpool added a defensive player, and the tactics naturally leaned defensively, leaving only Li Qing and Mane in front to take turns waiting for the counter-attack.

“aoaoaooaoooo——”

Time is running out, and the shouts of Manchester City fans are getting louder and louder, like a tsunami, wave after wave.

Liverpool fans who accompanied the team on the expedition felt increasing pressure, holding their breath for fear that breathing too much would affect their defense.

The Liverpool players on the field have done a good job of defense, leaving very little offensive space for Manchester City players, and the direct benefit is that the defense seems to be in the wind, but in fact there is no direct danger.

Goalkeeper Mignolet did not make any savings during this time, which is tantamount to saying that there is no major problem with the Liverpool defense.

Fast forward five minutes into the game, and De Bruyne, who won the ball, did not give another pass to Aguero or Iheanacho, opting to shoot directly from distance 30 meters from goal.

Although the rain is getting less and less at the end of the second half, the field is not dry, the football is still covered with rain, and the powerful long-range shot in this situation can often cause the goalkeeper to lose his hand.

There are two secrets to breaking dense defense, long-range shots and set-pieces.

Compared to Liverpool, which has more altitude players, long-range shooting is more suitable for Manchester City now.

David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Kolarov and Fernandinho all have a good long-range shot and with less and less time left, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola can only acquiesce to the selection of players.

This is his first season in charge of Manchester City and will have to wait until next season to fully instill his football philosophy in the current players.

In addition, many players cannot meet his tactical requirements, the back line is badly aging, and the most important goalkeeper needs to be replaced, and he needs the kind of goalkeeper who has strong organizational offensive ability.

Bravo was originally very suitable, but I don’t know why the transfer from Barcelona to Manchester City felt unsatisfactory, and Bravo, who has always been very stable, made fatal mistakes one after another.

Rebuilding, it will take time.

“Hey…”

Thinking of this, Guardiola couldn’t help but sigh.

Just then, Fernandinho fired a cold arrow, but his long-range shot was blocked by Emre Jan with his body, and the football rolled towards De Bruyne, who attacked on the left rib.

De Bruyne took the initiative to face the football, and a red figure suddenly flashed out from the right like lightning, stretching out his foot and stabbing the football.

When it was too late, the red figure was in a hurry. De Bruyne turned his head to see the raised Arabic numeral ’55’ particularly dazzling, and his face was full of surprise: “Is he?” ”

The stabbed football rolled towards Wijnaldu, and the ball went straight behind De Bruyne.

Manchester City players at the end of the game is a half-time offensive and defensive drill, both full-backs are used as wingers, at this time if Li Qing receives football is definitely caused so Fernandinho, David Silva and Sania all subconsciously pounced on Li Qing.

Li Qing originally wanted to create opportunities through personal breakthroughs, but with a wide vision, he saw a teammate plugged in at high speed at the far end.

Football flies faster than personal dribbling.

Both Stones and Otamendi were conscious of moving to their side, not noticing Mane at the far end, saying that the passing would be maximized.

Li Qing turned around and caught the ball in one go, and after attracting enough defensive players, he suddenly picked up his left foot and kicked the inside of his foot towards the bottom of the football.

The soccer ball flew diagonally from the right side of the defense to the left side of the attack, considering that Mane was extremely fast, and the advance amount of long passes was a bit large, just suitable for Mane to advance at full speed.

Stones and Otamendi, who had consciously approached in the direction of Li Qing’s dribbling, looked over with the flight trajectory of the football, which did not know, and was startled when they saw it.

Mane, who is second only to Li Qing in Liverpool, is running at full speed along the left flank and chasing the football.

Goalkeeper Caballero, who stood at the top of the Manchester City penalty area, watched the football come and was obligated to abandon the goal.

Li Qing’s long pass is indeed a bit large in advance, but the footwork he chose is a backspin long pass, which is equivalent to saying that there will be a significant reduction in speed after the football lands.

The live director gave a long-range shot, and fans sitting in front of the TV could see Mane cross the halfway line and chase the slowing football.

Caballero, who hit halfway through, instantly repented, speed has always been a goalkeeper’s disadvantage, and at the age of thirty-six, his physical function has declined very much, and he has a chance of winning less than 1% with the extremely fast Mane.

Now Caballero is in a very awkward position, it is not to continue forward, nor to stop where he is.

It is also looking ahead and looking backwards that makes him lose the opportunity to meet the brave and win in the narrow road.

Mane’s high-speed run forwards the football, which is basically no longer rolling forward, to the center, and behind him on the left are Stones and Otamendi, who are gritting their teeth.

After thinking about it, Caballero felt that he should sacrifice something for the team.

1:2 is obviously easier to equalize than 1:3!

But Mane is not stupid, on the contrary very smart, realising that Caballero is going to foul, he dives out early.

Sky British commentator Andy Gray naturally said: “There is no suspense in this game, and Liverpool, which expands the score, is equivalent to sealing the victory!” ”

The next ending is a bit cruel to Caballero.

The die-hard Manchester City fans didn’t give up and closed their eyes and prayed that Mane would be part of the ‘Grandma Can Score Series’.

I don’t know if Mane felt the curse of Manchester City fans, and he caught up with the football to ensure that it was foolproof, he did not shoot directly, but brought the football to the box at full speed to complete a small push.

The ball slowly rolls towards the unguarded goal at a very slow speed until it hits the snow-white net.

“aoaoaooaoooo——”

The Liverpool fans who accompanied the team on the expedition instantly boiled, unleashing their long-lost passion, and hysterical shouts swept the entire Etihad Stadium in this instant.

“The ball went in! The ball went in!! ”

Le Sport commentator Zhan Jun raised his voice and shouted ecstatically: “Li Qing’s long pass is like a refined missile, accurately find Mane, who is running at high speed, and Mane very calmly crosses Caballero to score an empty goal, helping Liverpool extend the score to two goals!” With three minutes left in regular time, Mane’s goal was the equivalent of helping Liverpool seal the win! “_
