"Hao Qiang scored twice! Manchester City scored another victory at the Etihad Stadium!
In the Community Shield match half a month ago, Liverpool already had a three-goal lead, killing the suspense of the game.
But now they are two goals behind to Manchester City in the away game.
It's hard to say that the two teams have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two weeks.
If so, it must be the return of Manchester City's strongest striker.
The combination of Aguero and Hao Qiang ranked first in European football efficiency last season.
It is very similar to the previous combination of Hao Qiang and Cavani in Naples.
In other words, because of Hao Qiang's comprehensive strength, he is able to form positive chemical reactions with various types of forwards.
Manchester City learned their lesson and gave Liverpool a head-on blow at home.
Rodgers' team must be ambitious in the new season, but if they cannot climb the mountain of Manchester City, then it is impossible for them to win the Premier League championship.
After Suarez leaves, once Liverpool's forward line becomes weak offensively, Rogers will have nothing to do.
Now this result was expected, but Liverpool's victory in the Community Shield has made the fans full of imagination."
Manchester City 2:0 Liverpool.
Hao Qiang was worshiped by the Manchester City fans at the scene when he celebrated.
"Hao Huang wants a hat trick today? Come on, you're welcome!"
"Rogers, let's see what the Community Shield champion is capable of!"
"Gerrard is old, Suarez is gone, and Liverpool are repeating a story that has been repeated in the past."
Liverpool fans are somewhat waking up from a dream at this time.
This first half roughly told them the current strength of Liverpool.
If you think you have the ability to compete with Manchester City because you defeated Manchester City in the Community Shield, this reason is undoubtedly ridiculous.
It is conceivable that as the season progresses, Gerrard's strength will inevitably decline further.
By then, Liverpool's midfield will have more obvious flaws.
Not to mention competing with Manchester City for the championship, the Red Army may not be able to stand up to Chelsea.
Halftime is over.
Players from both teams returned to the locker room to take a rest.
Pellegrini must be satisfied with his team's two-goal lead.
But the problems exposed by Manchester City have to be taken seriously.
In the last game, Hao Qiang retreated to organize, and this time Aguero's support was even more important.
Players have the initiative to switch roles and contribute to the team, which is definitely a commendable example.
But if he can only praise the players, then he might as well stop doing it as a head coach.
It doesn't make any sense.
The core of the question is: Why can't Hao Qiang and Aguero attack the opponent's goal together?
Everyone on earth knows that if the two of them focus on creating goals, Manchester City's offensive firepower will be even more amazing!
The problem is in the midfield.
If Fernandinho and Fernando appear together, the defense will be better, but the offensive organization is really terrible.
David Silva is another one who is prone to being restricted and blocked.
In this case, Manchester City has two options.
One is that Hao Qiang retreats to assist Silva, and the other is to strengthen the ability of the lagging organization.
Make the offensive organization hierarchical before and after.
It is not easy for opponents to restrain them.
Garcia is a usable character, but after all, Pellegrini still feels a little bit behind in terms of organizational ability.
It can be excessive, but not smooth enough.
It also lacks some ability to create surprises.
This is the aftermath of Yaya Toure leaving the team.
It is meaningless for Pellegrini to bother with Yaya Toure's restlessness at this time.
It is better to say hello to the team's senior management and hope that it will be more practical to introduce an organizational midfielder.
The game came to the second half.
Liverpool are a bit timid.
Not being able to score a goal in a strong attack is a constant problem.
Manchester City's overall operation is still improving positively.
Silva is also actively adapting to the new environment and working hard to improve his performance.
The game situation faced by Manchester City this season has completely different changes from last season.
Because they are the defending champions.
Opponents will try their best to prevent them from defending their title.
The marking restrictions on Hao Qiang last season did not have the expected results.
Not only did it allow Manchester City to win the championship, but it also witnessed Hao Qiang scoring a record number of goals in Premier League history.
This season they will obviously change their thinking on defense.
Mainly to destroy Manchester City's offensive organization and creation.
Silva's environment will therefore not become so relaxed.
It is undeniable that when Yaya Toure is on the court, he will also have a certain containment effect in the midfield and distract the opponent's attention.
Neither Fernando nor Fernandinho can achieve such an effect.
Due to his low offensive aggressiveness, it is easy for Silva to naturally fall into the situation where he is most easily restricted by his opponents.
Liverpool's offensive end is getting worse and worse.
Shooting a lot but getting nowhere.
Of course it will affect the players' confidence and status.
Especially the forwards.
Hao Qiang and Aguero took turns to retreat and cooperate with Silva.
In the 69th minute of the game, Hao Qiang retreated and successfully responded. After colliding with Navas to break into the wall, he passed the ball across the penalty area to Silva who came in behind.
Gerrard once again failed to keep up, and the double speed and nimble descent were evident.
Silva casually sent a through ball from the left side of the top of the penalty area.
Aguero countered offside and successfully pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal from a small angle to complete the goal.
Manchester City 3:0 Liverpool!
"We were beaten 3:0 by Liverpool in the Community Shield. Today we will give them a 3:0 victory at home!"
"The Community Shield champion is very powerful, but it is still not as good as the England Triple Crown winner!"
"Gerrard is really in trouble. If Liverpool lets him play as a defensive midfielder, it will definitely embarrass him."
"Liverpool's defensive midfielder has never been really strong since Mascherano left."
Manchester City generals are very proud.
The game situation is not very ideal.
They were not allowed to show their strength unscrupulously.
But their ability to adapt to changes still overcame the difficulties.
Pellegrini applauded from the sidelines.
Substitutions will then be made.
Jovetic, Dzeko and Nasri appeared on the stage.
Manchester City's target this season is clearly Europe.
In order to be in a stronger state in multi-line combat.
Pellegrini has increased the frequency of lineup rotation.
In a game like this where the overall situation has been decided, Hao Qiang and Aguero will definitely have to take a rest.
Avoid excessive consumption.
They must strive to show their best form and strength in the European arena to defeat Manchester City.
Both Hao Qiang and Aguero were still unsatisfied, but they also obeyed Pellegrini's arrangement.
When the two men and Silva came off the field, they received enthusiastic cheers and applause from all the Manchester City fans.
Rogers' face turned pale.
This is only the second round of the season, but this disastrous defeat can easily lead to an extreme change in the view of Liverpool.
They are no longer favorites for the title.
What to fight for?
You can't even fight back in front of Manchester City, and you tell me you want to compete for the title?
