132. Liverpool attack 3

Rogers stroked his face with his hands and shouted at the player close to his side: "Double-teaming him, you can't let him break through easily!"

The set ball from De Bruyne made Van Dijk reach the end, headed the ball and missed the post, and Manchester City completed the shot again.

Wensheng is also constantly greeting his players. In fact, Wensheng's mentality is very different from the past whenever he plays on the court. The longer he coaches, the more he knows the importance of calmness. So now he rarely excites him when he walks on the court. No matter what type of game it is, he loves to command the players to do this and do it, but he can't change this habit. When he sees something that doesn't suit his wishes, he will definitely say and shout. How much the players can listen to it, then he has to go with the flow.

Perhaps in order to restore the color of Manchester City's offensive just now, in the 16th minute, Liverpool's positional battle reached the frontcourt. Gerrard was very skilled and brave. While Dembele and Barry had not yet completed the position, he used a heavy artillery attack more than 30 meters away.

It's true that this shot is extremely dangerous. Hart stood a little far ahead and was almost knocked open by Gerald's long shot.

Manchester City fans exclaimed, and Barry and Dembele were a little guilty. They thought Gerrard could not choose to shoot, so it was not so timely to get it in place.

"What are you doing? I wonder if he will shoot from a long time?" Wen Sheng cursed at the court.

Wensheng's voice is quite loud. Everyone heard it this time, and no one would have any opinions. They already know Wensheng's habits very well. It's just that people are not right. Whoever has problems should pay attention next time!

Barry and Dembele also communicated with each other about how to do joint defense.

Suarez is also very capable. He is now competing with Dzeko and Aguero for the Golden Boot of the Scorer List. However, today he can only blame Liverpool for many balls that are difficult to find under his feet. Kompany is strictly guarding him and never leaves his side for a moment. Even if he retreats to the periphery, it is not enough, unless he retreats too deeply, unless he goes to the wing, Suarez can handle the wing when counterattacking, but positional attack is difficult, and Liverpool needs a front arrow.

Suarez also tried to pass by. It was in the eighth minute, and he forced a breakthrough, but Kompani, who was defending him, was very difficult to deal with. Even if he was freed from half of his position, Suarez was relieved by Kompani's next kick.

In the 21st minute, Manchester City launched another offensive battle. Douglas Costa, who also forced Glenn Johnson to win the second time, and two consecutive sidelines made Johnson unable to find North. Johnson was forced to pull down Costa, who was about to enter the penalty area from behind, and Manchester City got a set piece opportunity.

The position of the set piece was not good, and the shot was very barely enough. De Bruyne had no choice. The set piece he took was very thrifty. He did not pass the ball high, but bypassed the wall and made a cross with a half-high ball. Liverpool players did not expect De Bruyne to take the penalty like this, which looked like he was going to shoot.

Before he could come back, Dzeko started to push the ball behind the ground directly into the gate guarded by Reina!

Liverpool players complained to referee Weber about Manchester City's offside, which is of course nonsense. The linebacker did not raise the flag. Although Weber was facing Liverpool's goal, he was basically sure that the ball was not offside, so he immediately blew the whistle and pointed his hand at the center circle.

"Oh!" Jock jumped up in the stands and hugged Linton tightly, "We scored! We took the lead!"

Manchester City fans are also extremely happy. Many fans still remember the embarrassing record of Manchester City at home in those years. If they can win this game now, Manchester City will usher in a three-game winning streak against Liverpool. The overlord of English football, especially from Liverpool, is led by their own team under their noses. How can it not be exciting?!

After Dzeko scored, he did not run to the corner kick area to celebrate, but instead ran towards De Bruyne with his two fingers!

"Dingding, it's so fucking great! A wonderful pass!" Dzeko hugged De Bruyne and shouted loudly in De Bruyne's ear.

He really has to thank De Bruyne. This season, De Bruyne is the team's assists. So far, he has contributed fifteen assists to all fronts. This number is not small. Dzeko and Aguero have received his help, and Dzeko is the most beneficiary player.

Rodgers shook his head depressedly. He really didn't expect De Bruyne to be so mean and actually sent a set ball like this. Of course, this is also De Bruyne's skill and courage. If other players change to it, it may not be able to pass this pass with excellent strength and good routes.

Gerald clapped his palms hard, comforted his teammates, and encouraged everyone not to be discouraged. There was still a lot of time for this game.

The game started over and Wensheng did not let the players change their tactics. This game was not suitable for health care. Rogers did not make major adjustments to his team's tactics. However, he deliberately instructed Johnson and Downing on the right to double-team Costa in time and not to let the little turtle from Brazil hit the team's hinterland like a wooden stake.

But Johnson was a little deteriorating today. In the 23rd minute, Costa made a comeback and challenged Johnson one-on-one again. Johnson didn't dare to stretch his feet. The last ball was lost and had a lot to do with him. Weber not only gave the set ball, but also Johnson already had a yellow card on his body. Facing the flexible Costa for the third time, he hesitated for a moment and let Costa pass again. A cross from the outside instep was not pointing to the middle, but outside the penalty area, De Bruyne ran to the middle to receive the ball, and volleyed it non-stop. Costa's pass was difficult to catch. De Bruyne's failure to stop the ball caused his shot to be powerful but lack accuracy.

Rodgers was so anxious on the sidelines that he could see that Johnson was really not good at Costa.

You should know that Johnson's speed is not slow, but he can only suffer a defeat after Costa's instant start.

The idea of ​​whether to change Johnson or not is circling in Rogers' mind. Maybe it would be better if he replaced Klein!

Now is not a good time to substitute. Rodgers is a head coach without a championship. In addition, Liverpool has been insulated from the championship, which makes it difficult for him to guarantee his authority in the team. It is really too early to replace Johnson now.

The decision was not to substitute. Rodgers reminded him to watch the next game in a hurry. Fortunately, Lucas was smart and actively helped Johnson to assist in defense. This restricted Costa's path to catch the ball, causing Manchester City to have to switch the main attack direction to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne is not easy to deal with. Manchester City's formation is right-leaning, and De Bruyne relies more on passing to create threats to Liverpool. Dzeko and Aguero are very alive, and one person comes out to meet him intermittently. De Bruyne plays well and has caused trouble to Liverpool's penalty area several times.
