He came on as a substitute in the 53rd minute, which was the earliest time Zhuo Yang from Manchester City did so.
If it doesn't go up, it won't work. The score of 0:2 is not the most critical. The ball possession rate that depends on survival and survival is only 48%.
Has Suyouhe ever been suppressed?
There was only one time, in the 2009 Champions League final, when Barcelona faced AC Milan, Ancelotti's "five number 10s". But today against Liverpool, a similar scene happened again.
It’s not that the ball possession rate is low and the ball cannot be played, but it should be the other way around. It is precisely because Manchester City was completely suppressed in every part of the stadium that the ball possession rate is lower than Liverpool.
Manchester City itself is a team that pays attention to extreme possession of the ball, which is the basis of all tactics. Basically, 55% is standard, and reaching 55% means that they are evenly matched with their opponents.
But now it is at a disadvantage of 48%. If it does not adjust, it will be beaten into a sieve.
Manchester City's entire midfield couldn't handle Detu and Henderson, plus the constant interference of Mane and Lallana on the wings. Liverpool very effectively blocked Manchester City's ground passing routes. In this way, in the end,
The direct consequence was that Aguero ran around for about fifty minutes before he even got a shot.
In fact, this comeback after lifting the ban does not mean much to Akun. He is still banned on the court, which is almost as if he didn't come.
The two central defenders of Liverpool were also very effective in 'catching' Akun. From the growth of Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan, we can also see Uncle Zha's training methods that make full use of their talents.
In fact, both of them are not considered young anymore. Although the 27-year-old Croatian Lovren came to Liverpool in 2014 with a worth of 20 million and quickly became the main force, it was only in the past two years under Uncle Zha that he showed his performance properly.
World-class center back style.
Although the 30-year-old Klavan is the captain of the Estonian national team, he can only be unknown in European football, and he is only a dead substitute in Liverpool. But today, Cameroon central defender Matip was absent due to injury, and Klavan made up for it perfectly.
Without this shortcoming, Aguero is like a ghost.
Fortunately, Manchester City's two central defenders Stones and Otamendi performed equally well today. This time, Agen and Liverpool's frontcourt attackers failed to succeed. The goals of Wijnaldum and Detu were mainly attributed to
Personal defensive errors by Kolarov and Toure.
Yaya Toure was very bad today. He looked like he couldn't play football in front of the almighty Detu. He only made 29 passes in more than 50 minutes, but 14 of them were invalid passes or incomplete passes.
The ball success rate is just over 51%.
In the 53rd minute? Zhuoyang replaced Toure? Playing as a shadow forward behind and on both sides of Aguero, Manchester City changed to 4-4-2.
Zhuoyang had come on as a substitute 14 times before. The time was basically within 20 minutes. Only three or two games could reach half an hour, that is, his chance would be after 60 minutes.
Can his playing time be reduced? Based on sports science, the ultra-high efficiency of 11 goals in 14 appearances also shows that careful handling is correct? Among them, 8 goals in 9 league appearances, 2 goals in the Champions League, and 1 goal for the national team.
He came on the field shortly after halftime today? It is also a scientific judgment. If he can play halftime, the full time and the starting lineup are actually right in front of him.
After Zhuo Yang came on the court, there was no nonsense. After receiving a sudden pass from Silva, he first shot a long shot from a distance of 35 meters, allowing Mignolet to make a save.
The position and situation were not very reasonable shooting opportunities, but Zhuoyang didn't care so much. Manchester City had only shot four times in total before. They were suppressed by Liverpool and lost the confidence to score. The most important thing at this time is to heighten the offensive atmosphere.
stand up.
Next? Zhuoyang will mainly be active on the left wing and left rib area, specifically looking for trouble for Liverpool right back Nathaniel Klein.
Through long-term observation on the bench in the first half, Zhuoyang found that compared to Liverpool, whose overall defense is tough, their right wing is the weak side. The 26-year-old Klein is fast and quick, and is a thief of assists in the usual sense.
A full-back, the problem lies with Klavan, who plays right center back today.
Klavan's frontal defensive ability is very strong, which makes Aguero suffer a lot. But maybe it's because of the long absence of the formation? The cooperation between him and Klein is always a bit awkward.
Sadio Mane, who came back to help defend when he retreated, was a replica of Sterling. He was a defensive type with eyes and could not give Klein much substantive help. At best, he was a spiritual support.
It was originally Silva's job to attack this side, but today he was so tortured by Detu and Henderson that he had no energy to concentrate on catching the opportunity, so he was confused and became a midfielder.
In the 59th minute, Zhuoyang took the ball and cut in from the left. Klein and Mane were stuck in front of him like bull horns. Zhuoyang dribbled the ball and gave Silva a gesture of sliding backwards to the baseline, luring Clay.
After being distracted to defend himself, he suddenly increased the speed of frying the meatballs, leaving Mane in a mess.
He ran into the penalty area in two steps, only to be met by Klavan who came up to him. He stepped down and in the blink of an eye, he sent an inverted triangle to Aguero in the center of the penalty area.
Akun was so happy. He hit the ball with a volley from a very tricky angle, but it was a pity that Mignolet saved it.
This is Manchester City's most threatening attack since the start of the game, and it is also the second shot in the game that hits the goal frame. The first shot was Zhuo Yang's knock on the mountain just now.
After Zhuoyang bullied Mane and Klein again, sent Sterling a small angle shot at the other end, and once again threatened Mignolet, Uncle Zha couldn't sit still.
Zhuoyang's move makes you feel like eating flies. If Liverpool wants to continue to suppress Manchester City's midfield, they must endure Zhuoyang's hegemony on this side. The bet is to watch.
Who scores first.
Manchester City doesn't matter, it's already 0:2 anyway, what else can you do to me? But as long as one player from the front comes in, today's offense will be alive.
Uncle Zha was now the winner, so there was no need to gamble, so he quickly replaced Mane with Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva. The Senegalese young man was so depressed that he scratched his head as he walked down.
Sadio Mane came to Liverpool this summer for a high price of 34 million pounds, three times more than when Southampton bought him a year ago. Now Mane is basically the same type as Sterling.
Like Sterling, returning to defense is not something Mane is good at, but he is willing to run, diligent and studious, which is similar to Sterling.
In terms of differences, Mane's ability to shoot and seize opportunities is only slightly less than that of Major, but Sterling is happier than him. In any case, Mane has not yet reached the level of the horse's thigh in the future.
This is where the no-forward formation is particularly challenging. Total offense and full defense require that no player has any obvious weaknesses. Even if Mane is a flower on the wing, he must also become a suitable star when he drops back to help defend.
Screws.
Zhuo Yang knows this best, so he can target the weak side and beat him hard in five minutes, forcing Uncle Zha to adjust.
The 30-year-old Lucas Leiva is called Lucas, but now he has become Big Lucas. Because the 24-year-old Lucas Moura is now prosperous in the Brazilian national team and Paris Saint-Germain.
The waves behind pushed the waves ahead, so originally he was called Lucas Jr., but now he is Lucas.
It's a bit like it used to be Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, but now it's Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho.
In fact, Lucas is the oldest player in Liverpool today. He came here in 2007, six or seven years before Henderson. Alonso and Mascherano left one after another at that time, all because of Lucas
He survived the difficult years when Liverpool was short of waist.
However, with the rapid growth of Henderson, Lucas gradually lost his absolute main position, especially the arrival of Detu and Wijnaldum this season, which completely reduced him to a substitute player.
