Football’s First Defender

Seeing that the team started to perform, but still missed the last shot, Pellegrini on the sidelines was heartbroken and began to substitute players to continue to strengthen the offense.

Although the two fast horses on the left and right sides can create certain opportunities, Peigong needs to inject iron and blood into the team at this time to boost the team's morale.

Milner came off the bench and replaced Navas. He can not only rely on Milner's tireless running to continue to strengthen the team's offense on this side, but also use Milner's personal strong fighting spirit to inspire other Manchester City players. Aggressiveness.

On the other hand, with Aguero replacing Fernandinho, Manchester City changed to a 442 formation. At this time, Yaya Toure can only add more defensive pressure, but it is also necessary to ensure the team's strength. Offensively, there is a higher level of improvement.

Unlike Manchester City who invested a lot of power on the offensive end, with the advantage of two goals in hand, when Manchester City was in a last stand, Rogers began to seek stability and increase the team's defensive strength.

Sturridge, who has a yellow card, will be replaced, and the team's defensive midfielder Lucas will be sent to continue to strengthen the defense in the middle.

Afterwards, Moses, Kolo Touré and others were all asked to warm up and wait for Rogers' dispatch at any time to ensure that the team's defense can continue to increase its power.

Manchester City, which fell behind by two goals, started on the offensive end and continued to strengthen the game's offense.

Especially the left flank is Manchester City's key attack direction.

With the appearance of Aguero, Nasri, Silva, and Aguero can form a very effective small-scale pass cooperation on the left, and Dzeko can sometimes be a wall in the penalty area. It can be said that Manchester City is finally on this side and can form effective continuous offensive opportunities.

Coupled with Clichy's attack, Manchester City's players' scattered running positions may suddenly crowd the players in the left area, creating an offensive opportunity.

Clichy dribbled forward, facing Glenn Johnson's defense, Clichy made a smash, directly dunked past Glenn Johnson's defense, and then broke through directly.

Nasri made a straight pass and stuffed the ball directly into the penalty area, and then Aguero and David Silva who penetrated into the Liverpool penalty area had some overlapping moves.

Aguero showed his qualities as a center forward.

Although he is not tall, facing Sktel's defense behind him, he can also resist Sktel's physical confrontation.

With Aguero as the axis, Silva went directly from Aguero's side.

And Aguero supported Skrtel behind him, flicked his right foot lightly, and dialed the ball directly to the baseline.

Silva's superb foot skills have been brought to the extreme in handling the ball at close range.

Silva, who was at the bottom, directly crossed the ball to the middle, trying to find Dzeko in front of the goal, defended by Yang Feng.

However, sometimes surprises come out of nowhere.

Silva originally planned to cross directly to the goal, but Lucas, who had been defending Silva, slid directly to block the passing route.

But because Silva's original passing power was strong enough, and Lucas's sliding tackle blocked it, although it was blocked, it also changed the route.

Everyone was stunned, and Mignolet in front of the goal was even more surprised by the change of line.

It was too late to make any more moves. This ball, blocked by Lucas, flew directly into the goal from the near corner.

As for the Manchester City team, they have adjusted their mentality, and have some barefoot mentality that is not afraid of wearing shoes, and then they have played better and better in the game.

Especially Aguero, who came off the bench, and Silva, who had been restricted in the first half, the connection between the two became the biggest threat to Manchester City's offense.

When Liverpool is leading by one goal, they will not just defend, but also increase their investment in the offensive end.

However, the imposing Manchester City can still occupy the advantage on the field.

Manchester City's counterattack also began to constantly pursue the ground pass from the two sides, avoiding Yang Feng's defense, allowing Aguero and Nasri to constantly attack from the side.

Yang Feng's role on the counter-attack end was the most restricted in Manchester City's counter-attack pass.

And Aguero and Dzeko's continuous two-person transposition running also tied Yang Feng's defensive energy to the two of them.

Yang Feng's defensive energy was involved here, and he was unable to provide effective protection for Liverpool's defense at first.

And other Manchester City players continued to penetrate into the Liverpool penalty area, and naturally got more opportunities.

In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City quickly counterattacked, and Aguero directly pulled to the left to receive the ball and advance quickly.

When Skrtel rushed forward to restrict Aguero from cutting into the penalty area, Yang Feng followed Dzeko closely to prevent Dzeko from catching the ball and hitting the goal. Silva who inserted in the back was missed by the Liverpool midfielder. clean up.

Aguero's cross from the side, and the quick ball directly on the ground, made Yang Feng unable to make further defensive moves.

Silva, who quickly followed up in the middle, swayed his feet without stopping the ball, which was similar to Sturridge's kick in the first half. Although Silva played suddenly without stopping the ball, However, there are still deviations in the control.

The ball brushed the back post and flew out of the baseline, Manchester City almost equalized the score.

Silva's excellent penetrating ability was fully utilized in the second half of the game.

Not only the main left, Manchester City's right can also play a role under the connection of Silva.

In the 77th minute of the game, Manchester City's offense in the final stage kept hitting Liverpool's defense.

Yaya Toure's dribble advances in the middle and crosses to Silva.

Milner rushed quickly, sparing no expense of physical fitness, surpassed Gerrard who was defending himself, and received the football directly in the penalty area.

Milner dribbled the ball further into the penalty area, forcing Yang Feng to defend.

At this time, Milner, who seemed tall and burly, showed his delicate side, and directly passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the penalty spot.

After Silva passed the ball, he also went forward into the penalty area, just running near the penalty spot, and Milner's pass arrived.

It was another push and shot directly to the left of the goal.

Mignolet's save touched the football, but under Silva's strong push, the ball still bounced off Mignolet's palm and continued to fly towards the goal. At the critical moment, Yang Feng appeared on the goal line Go up, blocking Silva's kick.
