"Edin, you didn't do well to confront them in the first half, and you were often at the bottom! You have to change your way of playing football. What if you get stuck in double-teams?!" Wen Sheng tapped Dzeko's position on the tactical board with his pen.

Everyone listened attentively.

"You got out of the penalty area. In the second half, we should not play a long front pass, so that Edin consumes his physical fitness in vain. We should try our best to pass the ball on the ground. Edin, you need to pull out of the penalty area. If you compete with the opponent, you will be in double-team. But what if you are holding the ball on your back?! I saw you in the first half, you did a very good job of holding the ball on your back! We should make good use of this in the second half, you should be the fulcrum and pass point. Dingding you need to use your long-range shooting skills and let Edin make a cannon stand for you!"

"Samir, you did too much in the first half! I need you to take on two responsibilities in the second half, first cut in the bottom, second insert into the penalty area, here..." Wensheng used a stroke to draw the running and pass route that Nasri needed to do in the second half, "You need to consciously look for shooting opportunities!"

"Pablo! You only have one mission in the second half, keep a close eye on Sterling! Keep a close eye on Sterling! He is very fast, you don't have to give Samir a lot of help, you have to keep a close eye on Sterling! Do you understand?! Can you do it?!" Wen Sheng stared at Sabareta, and Sabareta nodded fiercely.

"We are on the left side in the second half! Yaya, Alexander, David, you want to form a triangle transmission. I trust the long pass level of the three of you. I need you to pass the ball like this..." Wen Sheng used a few strokes to draw several pass routes, explaining the running routes to Dzeko, De Bruyne and Nasri.

"As long as you see Samir running behind Johnson at the start, you can quickly pass in that direction! Don't worry about mistakes! Dingding, you need to pay attention to your position at this time. When the pass fails, you must go up and intercept Johnson as soon as possible and stop him from passing the ball directly to Sterling!"

"After Edin, you get out of the penalty area to get back, you must master the timing of counter-run! Sometimes you can wait a little while. When David and the others form a local advantage on the wing, you can run again, because it would be bad if you use your body to carry your opponent, but if you hit with speed, Coates and Scotter may not be able to block your impact!"

"Remember! Remember! We should go to the ground as much as possible. If it is not for the long pass dispatch at this position, try to avoid looking for Edin! You should hit Johnson behind!" Wen Sheng pointed on the tactical board with his pen, which was near the midfield and Manchester City's own half.

In the first half, facts have proved that this road is not good at all. Dzeko was too disadvantaged in confrontation. Without Aguero attracting defense for him, two people double-teamed him, which was too easy to be defended.

After talking about the offensive arrangements, Wen Sheng explained the defensive arrangements to the team. In short, the arrangements are very detailed. Because of this meticulousness, it does not require much encouragement that Manchester City players have become full of confidence.

After finishing his explanation, Wensheng handed over the remaining time to the players.

"What tactics do you think Rodgers will adopt in the second half?!" Kidd asked Wensheng.

"It goes without saying that if he has the chance, he still has to fight for possession of the ball, but he is not a fool. He knows that Liverpool's midfielder is difficult to compete with us for the control of the midfield ball, so he will still use his defense to counterattack! It was really an accident that concealed the ball in the first half. Our offense was not successful, and their offense was also not very successful!" Wen Sheng said hehe.

Wen Sheng pointed out the essence of the first half. In the first game of the season, Manchester City tasted a lot of sweetness through a long pass, which led to the players' dependence in this game. They were not very patient in offense. Sometimes, they were obviously good at controlling the ball, but suddenly they made a long pass and cross. Dzeko obviously was not as quick as the last game, and how could they not be lost?!

On Liverpool, the problem is that they retreated too deeply under Manchester City's pressure. Manchester City's midfield interception and blockade were very good. They did not make good use of the midfield goals, Sterling did not play well at this point, Borini was in a bad state, and Suarez did not get many opportunities.

After the half, Liverpool only completed 6 shots, but Manchester City had to complete 7 more times. The two teams took four shots outside the penalty area. You know how unreliable it is for them to create opportunities in the penalty area.

The fifteen-minute break was soon arrived, and the players on both sides returned to the court.

For Liverpool fans, the first half may not be that good-looking, but it doesn't matter. What's important is that Liverpool leads, which is enough!

Rodgers is not as heartless as the fans, but it is really hard for him to guess how Wensheng will adjust his tactics. Manchester City has too many creative players, including big names like Silva and De Bruyne, and Liverpool has not had a single one. Joe Allen and Shelvey are still much different from each other. In the first half, the two players did not play the role he expected. Shelvey, the young player, concedes a lot of goals under his feet, which makes him feel a little lack of confidence and dare not hold too many balls under his feet.

Gerrard was given the role of a midfielder and became a midfielder, exhausted from dealing with De Bruyne and Silva. If the opponent Dzeko hadn't been in shape, Manchester City might have created a more decent scoring opportunity.

Just two minutes after kick-off in the second half, Manchester City almost broke through Liverpool's goal.

In the 47th minute, Manchester City attacked the frontcourt. After Silva and Dzeko collided with the wall, they crossed the horizontal dribbler and De Bruyne. Silva nimblely stopped with her feet, then pulled back and moved to the transpose De Bruyne, who followed up with a shot from the outside of the right foot. Not only did it hit very concealedly, but the angle was also very tricky!

"Clang!"

The ball passed through the gap between Kelly and Coates and directly hit the post. Reina was hit by the ball without any reaction, and was as quiet as a chicken in front of the goal!

Gerald obviously suffered from the loss of De Bruyne and Silva's shift and shifting positions, and he was embarrassed. This is the disadvantage of Rogers setting up a single midfielder. When Silva and De Bruyne really interacted in the middle, Gerald was very difficult to defend. Joe Allen and Shelvey were not careful, so Manchester City would find an opportunity. In the second half, Silva and De Bruyne began to try this interaction.

De Bruyne's shot almost scared Rodgers' heart attack. Fortunately, it was a goal post, and Kelly was able to clear the ball in the first time.

"It seems that Daniel wants to make a fuss in the middle!" Rogers frowned.
Chapter completed!
