Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 315 A fatal pass to kill the game?

Klopp's substitutions have hidden murderous intent. Anyone who has a little bit of experience in football can see that Guardiola has no choice but to do this. His team is now two goals behind and must strengthen its offense, otherwise it will have to accept losing as a guest.

Obviously, Guardiola is not the kind of coward who just stands and waits for death. He stands upright and deserves to lose even if he loses!

After Sterling was replaced, Sane and Bernardo Silva were on the left and right. Gundogan and De Bruyne were responsible for organizing the attack in the middle. Fernandinho's role was more reflected in the When the offense turns to defense, Guardiola believes that Gundogan and De Bruyne, who are good at inserting from behind, are unable to organize the offensive task in the middle. David Silva must be sent to organize the series behind them to assist Gundogan and De Bruyne. .

So...who to replace has become an urgent problem for Guardiola and his coaching staff.

After a short period of discussion, it was finally decided to replace Fernandinho.

If you want to equalize the score, you really have to consider defense. The problem is that there is less and less time left. Worrying too much about defense is not conducive to scoring goals. Therefore, Guardiola made a decisive decision to remove Fernandi, who is of little use to the offense. Neo.

Li Qing is indeed Liverpool's most threatening player on the offensive end. With Salah and Mane gone, only Firmino is left in Liverpool's forward line. Too many defensive players become unnecessary, so Guardiola is prepared. Leave Li Qing's defensive responsibility to Otamendi.

Although Otamendi often makes defensive mistakes, there is nothing to say about his defensive hardness.

In the 82nd minute, there was a dead ball situation on the court, and the referee Oliver blew the whistle to request a substitution.

The on-site director switched the camera, and China Channel 5 commentator He Wei exclaimed: "Guardiola really wants to fight at the last moment of the game! David Silva replaces Fernandinho!"

Fernandinho was a little surprised when he saw his team replaced him, but his execution was not bad and he immediately ran to the sidelines to save time for his team.

David Silva came on as a substitute, and Manchester City's formation became 352. Sane and Bernardo Silva each hugged one side. Gundogan and De Bruyne took turns to insert, and David Silva was behind them. Threading the needle behind them, Jesus and Aguero were waiting for opportunities in the penalty area.

Guardiola's substitution adjustments did not have an immediate effect, but the threat level was greatly increased. The Liverpool penalty area suddenly became noisy and dangerous in front of the goal, so that the long-lost exclamation sounded over Anfield: "wowowoowooooo——"

Klopp frowned and held his breath, looking at his own penalty area with worry. He was obviously worried that Manchester City would score a goal to narrow the score at the end of the game.

David Silva's offensive organizational ability is obviously better than that of Gundogan and De Bruyne. Under his connection, Manchester City's offense has become much more three-dimensional, allowing both wings to fly together in a true sense.

Sane sent a precise low pass from the left. Jesus feinted a shot from the front. Aguero, who was ambushing in the back, flashed in front of Lovren and completed a shot. The football quickly rolled to the lower right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Karius didn't even have time to react.

"Bang——"

The football hit the right post of the goal, making a crisp and muffled sound. Van Dyke had quick eyes and quick feet and kicked the rebounded football out of the baseline.

"wowoowowoooooo——"

The terrified exclamations of Liverpool fans rang out over Anfield.

The Manchester City fans in the visiting team's stands pulled their hair with their hands, dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"The home goalpost saved Liverpool!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun blurted out.

Aguero, who was lying in the small penalty area of ​​Liverpool, angrily hammered the grass to express his strong dissatisfaction for not scoring a goal.

Guardiola's reaction in front of the visiting team's coaching bench was almost the same. He was half-kneeling, hammering the ground with his clenched right fist to vent his dissatisfaction.

If this goal is scored, then... the equalizer will definitely be possible!

It is even possible to overtake!

Klopp stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a long breath.

Fortunately, fortunately.

David Silva took a corner kick from the right, and Van Dijk, who judged the landing point extremely accurately, beat Stones and Jesus to push the ball out of the penalty area.

Emre Can was stuck in position, Bernardo Silva was a little impatient and kicked Emre Can from behind. The referee Oliver blew the whistle and gave Liverpool a free kick in the backcourt.

Guardiola regained his passion and kept waving his arms to incite the emotions of the players on the field. Obviously, he hoped that the players would remain passionate and full of hope for the game.

Time was running out. Instead of returning to their own half, the Manchester City players stayed in the Liverpool half and used high pressure.

Karius, who wanted to take a short-distance pass, had to signal his players to press forward, and then he took a short-distance free kick to avoid a fatal loss in the backcourt.

When the Manchester City players saw that Liverpool was going to play long, they had no choice but to retreat.

Karius took a big-footed free kick from the backcourt, and the football flew towards the mid-circle arc of Manchester City's half. Stones defeated Firmino and headed the ball to the left side of Liverpool's half-circle arc.

De Bruyne, Gundogan, Emre Can and Li Qing ran to the landing point respectively. Gundogan had a wider field of vision. He took the initiative to seek physical confrontation with Emre Can, but he actually had the advantage of explosive power. Li Qing benefited. He stretched out his foot before De Bruyne could catch the ball and poked the ball to Henderson, then quickly turned around.

Henderson gave the ball back without stopping. The football rolled close to the ground towards the path where Li Qing turned forward. David Silva saw the ball and subconsciously stretched his foot to make a clearance. Li Qing went with his right foot. He stepped forward and blocked David Silva with his thick right leg.

Li Qing was blocked from moving forward and staggered. David Silva quickly raised his hands to express his innocence.

Referee Oliver saw that Li Qing did not fall to the ground, so he tied his arms and made an offensive gesture to facilitate the continuation of the game.

Otamendi rushed forward without even saying hello, thinking of letting Li Qing stay where he was.

Soon after, Li Qing, who was stumbling, suddenly pushed the ball forward with the arch of his left foot. The ball rolled quickly from the offensive left rib about 45 meters from the baseline to the space behind Otamendi. .

"Oops!"

Otamendi was shocked as he stepped forward, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed Firmino advancing at high speed.

Firmino and Li Qing passed the ball in exactly the same direction. During the run, they also used their bodies to block the ball very cleverly, preventing Stones from stealing the ball.

Stones did not dare to foul because he was carrying a yellow card.

The atmosphere at Anfield suddenly became fanatical. Firmino ran toward the penalty area, held up Stones with his body, raised his right foot and shot, hitting the weak side of national team teammate Ederson's defense.

Kyle Walker, who was returning to defense at high speed, fell to the ground to block but was half a beat too late. The football flew to the right side of the goal. Goalkeeper Ederson was half a beat too slow to react. The football brushed the right goal post and crossed the goal line, hitting the snow-white ball. Net...

"Li Qing assists Firmino to kill the game! 4:1!!"

At the same time, Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly.
