Chapter 314 The Red Army kicks the head, and the blue moon blows the horn!
Liverpool 1:0 Manchester City.
Manchester City really doesn't have much mental or psychological pressure.
Immediately after kick-off, rush to the frontcourt to create a threat.
After Aguero and Hao Qiang changed positions, Hao Qiang's long shot from the left side of the top of the penalty area was confiscated by Mignolet.
The angle is quite right.
Hao Qiang didn't take it to heart.
With two more kicks, I will definitely be able to break Liverpool's goal after my feeling improves.
But the trend of the game was somewhat unexpected.
Liverpool's morale was boosted after scoring.
The defensive toughness has increased, but it is only a high-pressure rhythm of fighting for every inch of ground.
There will be no significant changes in the overall defensive skills.
But Liverpool's attack was overwhelming.
There is no full-time defensive midfielder in their midfield today.
Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho.
He can pass, run, and dribble for breakthroughs!
The task of the three midfielders is to deliver the ball to the front line.
Sturridge, Suarez, and Sterling will cooperate if they can. If there is no good opportunity to form a coordination, they will rely on their individual abilities to start singles.
The threats of Coutinho and Gerrard are enough to contain Manchester City's defensive midfielder.
In order to provide defensive assistance to the back line, after all, Demichelis has already exploded once.
Manchester City's midfielder was gradually suppressed and retreated.
Finally lost touch with the front line!
Liverpool relies on a midfield composed of more attacking roles to launch a steady stream of attacks.
Manchester City's disjointed front and backcourt resulted in low quality counterattacks.
Basically, if Manchester City attacks once, Liverpool can attack at least three times.
The more Hao Qiang saw something, the more something was wrong. When he started to retreat, whether to assist in midfield defense or to use his organizational skills to improve the quality of the offense, Liverpool, who were aggressively attacking, had forced Manchester City to only foul to contain their offensive.
In the 29th minute of the game, Sterling rushed in from the right and was knocked to the ground by Krarov.
This kid's performance was really ahead today, even Suarez looked inferior to him.
The referee awarded Liverpool a direct free kick from the front wing.
Captain Gerrard took the penalty.
A high-quality cross was delivered to the back of Manchester City's penalty area. Skrtel, who was lying in ambush, leaped high and headed the ball towards the goal!
The football flew towards the goal and was close to the upper left corner. The angle was not particularly tricky.
But Joe Hart hit the football during his save but failed to block the ball.
The atmosphere at Anfield suddenly exploded!
"Skrtel scored with a header! Liverpool leads Manchester City 2:0 at home!
Liverpool looks promising to beat Manchester City in the top spot!
Once they win this 6-point battle, the suspense of the championship will be back!
Liverpool's performance today was impressive, and they are obviously better prepared for this game."
The Manchester City generals looked at each other in shock.
Then I looked at the background of Emperor Joe Hart.
Joe Hart has a Joe Hart problem.
But they also have team-wide problems now.
Previously, Manchester City was somewhat in a state of disbelief due to consecutive wins.
To put it harshly, it means being arrogant.
Unexpectedly, Liverpool would show such strong fighting power.
With Liverpool's configuration today, the offense is indeed very strong.
If Manchester City can play steadily and restrain Liverpool's offensive momentum, then they will have many opportunities to counterattack.
It's a pity that Liverpool are now two goals ahead. The right time, place and people give Liverpool an advantage.
Rogers was extremely excited, with pride and pride written all over his face.
Once Mourinho's assistant, he is also trying his best to get out of Mourinho's shadow.
At present, Liverpool seems to have blazed his own path from style to record.
However, there is still plenty of game time, so it is hard to say whether Liverpool can win Manchester City.
It's just a celebration at this time.
Pellegrini had to go to the sidelines to signal to the team.
Hold on!
Hao Qiang decisively retreated after the kick-off.
When Aguero also retreated with him and planned to advance together, Hao Qiang smiled bitterly and gestured to him to go to the front line!
His confrontation and defense are not what Aguero has.
In terms of his organizational skills, Aguero is almost perfect.
So there is absolutely no need for Aguero to come back.
Moreover, if he does come back, the attack distance will be too long, and the offensive threat will certainly not be maximized.
Do you expect Navas, who has been playing support all year round, to charge forward?
Manchester City must first stabilize its defense and restructure its overall offensive.
After Hao Qiang retreated from the formation that was somewhat disjointed by Liverpool and had new links, Manchester City's offensive and defensive system regained its integrity.
But Liverpool's momentum prevailed.
Should Manchester City be cowardly at this time?
Conservatism on the green field is commonplace, and it is not uncommon for strong teams to show off.
A true man is one who can bend and stretch.
Liverpool's offense is a bit better, and the front three are all on show.
Even if a shot misses, there will be a smile on their faces.
They didn't seem to realize that Manchester City's tightening of defense had made it impossible for them to kick off comfortably and create excellent scoring opportunities.
In the 41st minute of the game, during Liverpool's second attack in the midfield, Henderson received Gerrard's pass and changed the direction of the ball to avoid David Silva's pressing.
Hao Qiang intercepted the ball from the side.
After stealing the ball, Hao Qiang got in position to confront Henderson who was trying to counterattack. Hao Qiang pulled the ball and turned to dodge Gerrard's tackle.
Start dribbling forward.
Liverpool's defense was immediately in panic.
It is obvious that the back line is retreating towards Aguero, shrinking the defense line.
However, Hao Qiang passed the ball diagonally to the right after stepping into the dangerous offensive area.
Navas has started and the speed is soaring to the limit.
After receiving Hao Qiang's pass, he vigorously walked the ball to the outside.
Strong impact creates offensive depth advantage from the outside.
When the two central defenders of Liverpool's defense turned around and chased back, they were thrown away by Aguero's movement.
Navas made a timely pass, and Aguero went to the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area to meet the ball and push the ball.
The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal.
Mignolet was helpless.
The home team stand at Anfield Stadium fell into dead silence for an instant.
It was as if it was at this moment that Liverpool fans realized: Manchester City is not just a piece of cake for them to abuse at will!
"Man City pulled a goal back. Aguero's goal boosted morale, but what is even more surprising is that Hao Qiang's retreat greatly eased the defensive pressure on Manchester City's midfield and created a strong impact on Liverpool's midfield offensive organization.
Interference and destruction.
This time his steal of the ball against Henderson made people almost forget that he was a center forward.
Perhaps he would be just as good in a defensive midfield role.
Hao Qiang is really an all-around player.
The shackles of forwards have long been that they only focus on offense and scoring goals.
Hao Qiang is an alternative to modern football.
Not only is he the best goal scorer, he is also willing to play a non-striker role.
Rudy Garcia, who coached him, once said that Hao Qiang's diligent attitude made him willing to make more contributions to the team to enhance his own value.
This is something that many players do not have, so many coaches have called on young players to learn from him when praising Hao Qiang."
