As the local winner last season, Manchester City actually did not take Liverpool seriously.
Winners should be humble, but who can be humble forever?
What's more, Liverpool is missing Suarez.
Liverpool continued their performance in the Community Shield, starting right off the bat and taking the initiative to set the pace.
Actively attack in the frontcourt.
In a short period of time, a trend of focusing on anti-customers was quickly formed.
Manchester City's problems continue to be exposed.
The team needs to adjust.
Mangala and Fernando have to adapt to the passionate pace of the Premier League.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the defense in the face of Liverpool's almost violent offensive.
Coutinho took the lead in dribbling in from the left side of the frontcourt and then looked for an opportunity to shoot long distance.
Sterling's dribbling from the right and his speed and technique were truly eye-catching.
Just passing the ball or shooting the ball yourself is of average effect.
Joe Allen's performance was average, and Henderson's long-range shots from behind seemed to be trying his luck.
Manchester City's overall formation was suppressed in the backcourt.
Fortunately, there are not many dangers in the defense line.
Not to the point of panic.
But it still performed poorly in the transition between offense and defense.
David Silva was chased and intercepted by Liverpool.
There is a bit of a disconnect between Manchester City's front and backcourt.
Instinctively making clearances or playing long passes are ineffective.
Hao Qiang retreated to assist the midfielder in launching offensive organization.
Manchester City fans had a headache when they saw Hao Qiang retreating.
"Huang Hao is back again!"
"Why is it always like this? Hao Huang is a striker!"
"But our midfield transition between offense and defense is really not good, and David Silva can't do it alone."
Manchester City's offensive organization has improved significantly since Hao Qiang returned.
A threat was created in successive fast breaks.
But Aguero missed the opportunity.
Aguero felt ashamed.
Hao Qiang has no emotions towards him.
Everyone is a forward.
Everything you do should be to end the opponent's job of killing or burying him.
However, because Hao Qiang was not very capable when he debuted, he actively and diligently worked more in other areas to make up for his performance.
It has become a habit now.
So he retreats to organize or strengthen defense, and he never asks others to do the same as him.
This is the path he chose himself and has nothing to do with anyone else.
But when others see it, they cannot remain indifferent.
Aguero took the initiative to retreat slightly during the attack and formed a supporting position, trying to cooperate with Hao Qiang.
The forward cooperation between the two is a routine operation.
If it were any other forward, anyone who wasn't a lone wolf would be able to play.
The change of positions between the two can be regarded as an advanced form of cooperation.
This will also happen in a striker who is skilled in coordination and has a tacit understanding of thinking.
This is the case with Hao Qiang and Cavani in Naples.
Now Aguero plans to pay more.
After all, Hao Qiang cannot bear everything.
Liverpool's offensive was overwhelming, but the actual threat was very pitiful.
It was like missing out on Manchester City's tough and solid defense.
Rogers is still looking forward to the team's ability to improve their ability to seize opportunities, so they will definitely be able to score Manchester City's goal.
But in the 31st minute of the game, when Manchester City's fast break reached the frontcourt, Hao Qiang launched an offensive. Aguero advanced slowly after receiving the ball at the front end, waiting for Hao Qiang to rush forward and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
Hao Qiang made a stop and drove to the front area of the penalty area to face Skrtel. He made an emergency stop and dialed the ball to rush in from the outside.
Just as Skrtel turned around to intercept his advance, Hao Qiang spiked the ball and headed towards the center of the penalty area.
Skrtel was helpless and couldn't keep up with Hao Qiang's rhythm due to his sudden change of focus.
Hao Qiang calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal in front of the penalty spot.
Mignolet was a beat late in making the save.
After Hao Qiang scored, he turned around with a smile and pointed at Aguero.
Never mind how Manchester City performs overall.
Anyway, after the start of the new season, Hao Qiang feels better than last season.
The problem is overall, but his cooperation with Aguero is more tacit than last season.
Unlike last season when he first joined, he had to play alone more often.
Manchester City fans danced the Poznań dance in the stands.
Liverpool fans gritted their teeth, but wanted to cry without tears.
How important are top strikers to a team?
Just look at the performances of Hao Qiang and Aguero.
And they just lost Suarez.
Neither Sturridge nor Sterling are top strikers at all.
Liverpool won't score when they're in a good position, they only create but don't finish.
Busy work in vain!
But the Manchester City fans smiled brightly and cheered wildly for the cooperation and goals of Hao Qiang and Aguero.
"I thought how powerful Liverpool was, but I was shocked and wasted no time!"
"Here it comes, let's start, Hao Huang scores goals in consecutive games! Brothers, start counting games and see how many consecutive games Hao Huang can score goals!"
"No matter how many games he scores in a row, Hao Huang's guaranteed average of one goal per game will not change."
"Liverpool, don't defend! Don't retreat. It would be pointless to defend. Let's see how capable the Community Shield champion is!"
Pellegrini secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene after the opening made him very worried.
In the end, the team's top striker solved all problems.
Rogers glanced at Pellegrini's smiling expression and became even more filled with hatred!
You guys, why can you eat ready-made food?
I want to be self-sufficient and self-reliant!
Liverpool's generals did not show any discouragement when facing the loss of the ball.
He quickly regained his composure and continued to launch a furious attack on Manchester City.
The scene is really scary.
But looking at the results, whether they were threatening passes, penetrating through balls, or long shots from outside the penalty area.
It's always just a hair's breadth.
Sturridge almost missed the point, and his long-range shot slipped past the goal.
Even Sterling's response to Coutinho's pass was able to send the ball directly to Joe Hart's arms.
Liverpool fans almost collapsed!
The offensive was strong enough, but the final kick was horrific.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Manchester City's fast break once again swept the half.
Hao Qiang still looked for Aguero, but the latter passed the ball to the right.
Navas surged forward along the right flank.
Aguero follows up in the middle, and Hao Qiang chases from behind.
When Navas passed from the right and passed forward from the baseline, Aguero formed a containment on the line of the small penalty area in front of the goal.
Watch the ball from Navas' cross arc through the air.
Aguero immediately turned around.
But Hao Qiang ran wildly into the penalty area and took off from the penalty spot. Gerrard chased him but was pushed further and further away.
Facing the cross from Navas, Hao Qiang used his forehead to head the ball towards the upper right corner of the goal.
It was like a volley shot from the forehead.
The football flew into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar.
As soon as Hao Qiang landed, Aguero clenched his fists and shouted to celebrate the goal!
Hao Qiang hugged him and rushed to the sidelines laughing together.
Rogers looked confused.
Liverpool fans were shocked.
Gerrard stood outside the penalty area with his hands on his hips and a sad look on his face.
Not to mention that he is not a defensive midfielder per se.
He cannot be expected to do this kind of work very well.
He has realized that he is really old.
No longer able to adapt to the top intensity of the Premier League!
