The new Wembley Stadium can accommodate 90,000 spectators. If it weren't for the League Cup final, Liverpool and Manchester City, I'm afraid the stadium would not have been full today.

The highly anticipated game is about to begin. When the starting players of the two teams entered the court, Situ Yunbing immediately showed a trace of solemnity when he saw Manchester City's starting lineup.

Because it is a bit unexpected.

"Good evening for everyone, everyone, welcome to the 2015-2016 English League Cup final!

The two teams that reached the final this year are Liverpool and Manchester City.

It can be said that this is a peak showdown in England’s football!

Liverpool has established a terrifying lead in the league, and the only other giants can compete for are the League Cup and the FA Cup. Now, Liverpool is likely to not even miss the local Cup. They reached the finals of the League Cup and reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

First, let’s take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Liverpool has all the elite troops today and has dispatched its strongest lineup, with a formation of 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Kulibaly, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho.

Manchester City's starting lineup today is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Caballero.

Defenders: Sanya, Kompani, Otamendi, Krish.

Midfielder: Fernando, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho.

Forwards: De Bruyne, Aguero, Silva.

What is more surprising is that today Pellegrini put both Stirling and Mahrez on the bench.

Although it is undeniable that De Bruyne and Silva are both very powerful stars, they are not strong in wing attacks. In other words, today's Manchester City's starting lineup may pay more attention to defense and control, and can only rely on passing to advance in terms of offensive speed.

In any case, Pellegrini's starting lineup may cause some trouble to Liverpool. Let's take a look at this battle together!"

It seems that Pellegrini has set up a formation of three midfielders, but Yaya Toure is definitely unwilling to go to the frontcourt lonely.

Manchester City's deployment of troops not only reflects strengthening defense but also pays attention to improving the ball rights. However, in this way, they have relatively few finishers roles.

Situ Yunbing did not read the mind, so he had no idea how Pellegrini made a combat plan, so he could only observe through the competition.

There is no doubt that Pellegrini has changed from the idea of ​​playing out Manchester City's own strength points to limiting Liverpool as the starting point of tactical design.

As the fans of the two teams made huge noises, the referee blew the whistle to the start of the game.

Manchester City took the lead in kick-off and performed very cautiously after the opening game.

The inverted triangle system presented behind Aguero, De Bruyne, Silva, and Yaya Toure as the core, and the other two midfielders and full-backs came forward to support. Manchester City's ball control is very stable!

Situ Yunbing suddenly had a very ridiculous idea.

Pellegrini seems to be asking Manchester City to prove that he can also be very skilled and strongly controlled the ball with his advice, taking the initiative in the field!

Everyone knows that Guardiola is best at this, but Manchester City plays Liverpool today but also plays in control.

But the problem arises, Manchester City only controls the game but makes less breakthroughs!

On the basis of controlling the field, two full-time defensive midfielders were added, Fernando and Fernandinho, which would cause a lack of offensive resources and waste of personnel. After all, it was still lack of confidence.

I want to control the field, but I am worried that I can't control it and cause the defense line to collapse!

When Liverpool's forward and front midfielder quickly encircled and counterattacked the frontcourt, Manchester City had to speed up, and then the disadvantages in configuration appeared.

When they launched a threatening offensive forward, Aguero's target was too swaggering and was directly stared at by the Liverpool defender. Then the only offensive points that could bring impact were almost only Yaya Toure, De Bruyne and Silva were not the kind of players who entered the penalty area to create a threat.

When Yaya Toure just stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area, he was attacked by Kante and Casemiro. If Manchester City's back midfielder could follow up at this time, it might lead to new changes in the offense. Unfortunately, both back midfielders were watching near the midfield. It was obvious that they were afraid that the team would lose the ball and were hit by Liverpool to counterattack!

After a long fuss, Manchester City is still a paper tiger!

Situ Yunbing laughed in his heart. Manchester City today is much better than Manchester City's defense when they played against Liverpool last time!

After all, it was not Demikelis on their defense line, but Captain Kompani!

Pellegrini's tactical design seems to have conflicts in many ways!

Yaya Toure failed to even shoot a long shot and was intercepted by Casemiro.

However, Manchester City doesn't have to panic. Liverpool's counterattack was a bit difficult. Manchester City counterattacked and harassed the frontcourt, forcing Liverpool to quickly attack the attack to the frontcourt. Then their tight defense line in the backcourt was also curbing Liverpool's offensive threat.

After Coutinho sent Lewandowski a diagonal plug, Kompany completed the interception as soon as possible.

Liverpool's offense was frustrated.

The two teams played repeatedly, making the coaches of both teams feel a little bad offense.

Manchester City can ensure smooth offensive organization, but the offense ultimately hits the front line without any threat. Liverpool is prone to passiveness in the frontcourt. The strength of two full-time defensive midfielders in the confrontation limits Erikson's performance to a certain extent. Although Gareth Bale's strong breakthrough on the wing is effective, it is still a bit less time to create a goal-killing intention.

The situation is stalemate, and the offense and defense are in a stalemate.

Even the audience could see that the current scene was in a deadlock that made both teams awkward. If there was a turning point in the game, one side would inevitably need to take the initiative to make a big breakthrough and change!

After 25 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing, who had been in his hands with his bags and his eyes were calm, suddenly took advantage of the opportunity to kill the ball and gestured to the disciples on the field, asking them to change their playing style!

The past 25 minutes of the game have also made Liverpool players realize that in this level of competition, they are not overstop, and Situ Yunbing still needs to judge the situation on the sidelines to give instructions for them.

Basically, Liverpool does not need Situ Yunbing to worry too much about playing 80% of its opponents. The team's own adjustment ability is enough to adapt, but facing some strong teams, the coach's on-the-spot command role will be very important.

After Situ Yunbing's adjustment, the most significant change was that the two full-backs assisted and killed the frontcourt together!

Although Manchester City seems to be in a 433 formation, in fact, at least one of De Bruyne and Silva will be very close to the middle, so that they can better connect with their teammates and give full play to the advantages of passing and control technology. Sometimes, even both of them are close to the middle to form direct cooperation.

Therefore, the threat of Manchester City's mid-range attack is very limited. Secondly, in order to break the deadlock on the field, Liverpool must make full use of the field width. Nothing can achieve such a tactical effect than the full-back participating in the offense.

Finally, the full-back participation in the offense is just the most significant change, and the real change of Liverpool is the change in the global tactical posture!

In the 27th minute of the game, when Robertson received a pass from Kante on the left side of the frontcourt, he quickly pushed forward the offensive. When Coutinho ran across the penalty area and was on the left side, Robertson suddenly passed the ball diagonally in front of Sarnia in front of the penalty area in front of the bottom line on the left rib of the penalty area.

Kompany chased Lewandowski who took the initiative to run to the response. Unexpectedly, Lewandowski knocked the ball back without looking back at the moment of touching the ball.

Coutinho followed the situation and responded in place, but Fernando also returned to the penalty area, which made Coutinho break the ball when he was preparing to cut across the situation.

The football rolled towards goalkeeper Caballero, who cleared the ball with his big feet!

The football flew toward the central circle.

Aguero was holding the ball behind his back and looking at the football in front of him, but found someone close to him, and he tried his best to lower his center of gravity, but unexpectedly, the person behind him retreated violently, and Aguero sat on the ground himself!

The Reds fans in the stands couldn't help laughing.

Aguero got up and looked back and forth, and as expected, Van Dijk!

If he hadn't been in a good position, Van Dijk would have the chance to head the ball directly, but since Aguero wanted to grab the ground to fight him, Van Dijk simply accidentally let him lose his balance.

Back chase controlled the second-bounce football ball, and Van Dijk quickly passed the ball to Casemiro who was retreating to receive the ball.

Liverpool's offensive continues to be launched.

Pellegrini's face was serious at this time, and Liverpool's tactical changes were obvious.

Overall pressure, high pressure!

Only in this way can Liverpool have the hope of breaking through Manchester City's defense!

In this kind of championship decisive battle, if Pellegrini can deal with Liverpool before the game, then from the on-site dispatch in the game, Situ Yunbing is the first to take the positive step!

It is still unknown whether this change will cause Manchester City to fall into a passive position.

Liverpool continued to attack. When the offense moved to the right, Azpilicueta quickly inserted the ball and then drove the ball forward. Fernandinho quickly assisted in the sidelines, and Yaya Toure also retreated to defend for defense.

Azpilicueta hit the ball across when Fernandinho came to his eyes to Eriksen, who came to the front field to meet him. The latter passed the ball diagonally to the right of the frontcourt when Yaya Toure blocked the front pass line.

Gareth Bale took the ball from the side and retreated first. When Krish followed up and planned to press, Gareth Bale suddenly splashed the ball towards the bottom line, and at the same time burst out with acceleration and quickly dropped Crish away. Previously, when he attacked, Fernandinho was able to quickly return to the guards in the penalty area, but this time there was no Fernandinho!

Gareth Bale dialed the ball in front of the baseline and turned toward the penalty area!
Chapter completed!
