Chapter 383 It's hard to cry alone, the savior still sees Hao Huang!
Liverpool sit at home and wait for work.
Rodgers' side have had to bow to reality after a rocky start to the season.
Suarez's departure will have a huge impact on the forward line.
It is no longer possible for Liverpool to take the initiative to attack.
Therefore, Rogers made adjustments to his tactical style in the middle of the season, and Liverpool became extremely pragmatic.
For example, today when facing defending champion Manchester City at home, Liverpool used a defensive counterattack tactic even though they were reluctant to do so.
A group of technical players pressed wildly in the midfield area, disrupting Manchester City's offensive organization.
Leading Manchester City in terms of pace and speed.
After all, Manchester City played a Champions League away game midweek, and the repeated consumption will have a short-term impact on their physical fitness.
Manchester City also actively launched a strong attack when they came to the away game, which was exactly what Liverpool wanted.
Creating opportunities in the cracks requires higher requirements for the ability to seize opportunities.
Hao Qiang's long-range shot slipped past the goal.
Aguero grabbed a point in the penalty area but goalkeeper Mignolet attacked and saved the ball.
Liverpool's counterattack is still mainly based on ground passing and cutting.
After the attack reached the frontcourt, the outbreak of British star Sterling caught Manchester City's defense off guard.
In the 16th minute of the game, Sterling dribbled from the right and accelerated to get rid of Fernandinho, who was assisting in defense. He then stabbed the ball first when Clichy was attacking.
Manchester City fans suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"Damn it, this young man!"
"Sterling is indeed the best among the new generation of local forwards."
"The defense line is in danger!"
After Sterling spiked the ball into the penalty area, Mangala and Kompany returned to the defense to mark Markovic and Emre Can who came in behind.
Sterling, however, reached the ball in front of Mangala and then passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Henderson, who came in from behind, met the ball outside the penalty area and hit the goal directly without making any adjustments.
The half-high ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal without any spin.
Joe Hart once again became the backdrop for his opponent's long-range shot!
Anfield suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers.
Rogers almost jumped.
I was excited, but I didn't dare to smile.
With a rosy look on his face, he chewed gum a little faster.
Don’t be crazy when facing Manchester City!
At the same time, there was always a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.
From the beginning of his coaching career, he has been obsessed with getting rid of the shadow of Mourinho's disciples.
Last season, I originally expected to win the Premier League championship with an offensive football style, completely breaking up with Mourinho.
But in the end the success fell short.
This season he bravely continued to hold high the banner of offensive football, but he was beaten to a bloody head.
I really couldn't stand it anymore. For the sake of record and Liverpool's goal of hitting the top four, I finally compromised and adopted a defensive counterattack tactic.
As a result, some media began to claim that he finally played what Mourinho is best at.
Say no.
The body is very honest.
This is very embarrassing.
Mourinho's success has cast a shadow on many people.
Including Villas-Boas and Mourinho II.
We often make the mistake of ignoring reality in order to highlight ourselves.
Rogers doesn't care about his own label now, but this hurdle in his heart always exists.
Manchester City did not panic when they conceded the goal.
Kompany signaled to his teammates and focused on blocking Sterling.
When Liverpool counterattacks, as long as there is enough space in the frontcourt, Sterling's characteristics can be fully utilized!
Manchester City had to take some extreme measures to curb Sterling's performance.
Even if you get a yellow card for a foul, you won't hesitate.
Manchester City's frontcourt offense patiently created opportunities.
As the game approached 30 minutes, Manchester City shifted their attack from the right to the left. David Silva responded and then sent a high-quality cross.
Hao Qiang was completely unmarked when he came to the penalty area to connect from behind.
Facing the falling football, Hao Qiang did not adjust and directly kicked up and volleyed!
boom!
The football missed the inside of the right goal post and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
Mignolet didn't even make a save.
Rogers' face suddenly darkened.
Hao Qiang is so fierce!
As long as you give him a chance, he can blow up his opponent's defense!
A superstar is like a nuclear bomb.
Manchester City's overall condition today is actually not as good as Liverpool's, but even so, they never panicked.
Even though he would be a little passive in response to counterattacks, he never became impatient.
Manchester City fans cheer.
They never panicked.
The fierce battle continued.
Rogers gestured for the team to continue to speed up.
They have more technical players, so their success rate of speed increase will be higher.
Manchester City is strong, but it is easy for their opponents to lead them around.
With the two teams restricting each other, the threat was actually reduced.
The game entered the second half, and the tense battle continued.
Liverpool and Manchester City have the same number of shots.
But neither side could grasp it.
Aguero missed a good opportunity today and his state fluctuated significantly.
Liverpool lacks stable scoring points.
Just after 70 minutes of the game, it was Sterling again!
He rushed forward to receive Lallana's wonderful pass, then cut inside and entered the right rib area of the penalty area, then changed direction and rushed past Mangala. Then, without changing his posture, he passed back in an inverted triangle.
This time it was Coutinho who cut inside to meet the goal.
Just entering the middle area of the penalty area, Coutinho once again penetrated Joe Hart's ten fingers with a half-moon kick!
Liverpool 2:1 Manchester City.
Seeing that there were less than 20 minutes left, Manchester City players and fans began to get a little anxious.
Manchester City makes a substitution.
Dzeko came on to replace Aguero who was not performing well.
In fact, Dzeko's performance after coming off the bench this season is obviously unsatisfactory.
His confidence was affected.
Maybe it's because there is pressure from Hao Qiang in the team.
In addition, Hao Qiang's poor performance during the Asian Cup further affected his mentality and state.
However, his attitude after appearing on the stage was very positive.
I want to do anything!
Hao Qiang pointed to the center of the penalty area and signaled him to stay in the Liverpool penalty area.
Dzeko didn't think too much, he just took the order and immersed himself in it.
Liverpool made substitutions to strengthen defense.
Sterling and Sturridge, who came on as a substitute, were left in the counterattack.
When Liverpool became more conservative, the situation became favorable to Manchester City.
Lampard's appearance brings increased midfield control and offensive creativity, allowing Manchester City to launch full suppression.
Liverpool's sporadic counterattacks were extremely threatening, but Sterling missed the ball alone, while Sturridge was thinking about life in the penalty area and was saved by Kompany's timely tackle.
As the game approached the 90th minute, Manchester City's style of frequently attacking Dzeko and Hao Qiang from the wing created a threat, but it was not enough to score.
Silva suddenly sent the ball diagonally from the left into the left flank of the penalty area.
Dzeko originally went to receive the ball, but when he saw Clichy running inside, he immediately turned around and ran towards the goal to prepare for the goal.
However, Clichy passed the ball back in an inverted triangle to the penalty spot.
Hao Qiang was able to shoot directly while rushing forward, but was blocked by Skrtel, so he stopped the ball with his right foot and then quickly spiked the ball with his left foot to change direction.
The fake body movement deceived Skrtel's center of gravity.
He broke through in a small area to create space and then decisively kicked the ball towards the goal.
The football that was just thrown out directly hit the inside of the right goal post and bounced into the goal.
boom!
Mignolet's head is buzzing!
This kind of explosive shot is impossible to save in the penalty area!
Either the opponent will be knocked away, or it will rush towards his body.
Anfield shook.
Hao Qiang, who has attracted much attention, once again became the focus.
"Hao Huang, scored twice!"
"It has to be him!"
"Aguero is very good, but his form is not as sustainable as Hao Huang's."
"You can hardly find a moment when Hao Huang is in a downturn. I don't understand it, but I am shocked!"
Hao Qiang turned around and ran towards the midfield.
There is still time, and he has not given up hope of overtaking.
Liverpool fans fell silent.
This is a top shooter.
They were envious.
Since Suarez left the team, Liverpool fans have truly realized how uncomfortable it is to be without a top striker.
The pain of opportunities created but unable to be grasped is like the pain of two people who love each other but cannot create a child.
Rogers nearly broke his gums.
Just shy of beating Manchester City at home.
It may not allow Liverpool to lock in the top four, but it will give him the pleasure of revenge and boost Liverpool's morale.
Liverpool can only strengthen its defense now.
Attacking from the front is probably not much different from killing someone.
Maybe he will be beaten by Manchester City.
At the last moment of the game, Manchester City attacked in the frontcourt, and Hao Qiang was targeted. He distributed the ball to the wing, and Nasri, who came on the bench, passed the ball directly out of the baseline, making Manchester City fans sigh.
"What is this horse-riding message about?"
"Well, Nasri has become worse and worse in the past two years."
"If there are no accidents, he should leave the team in the summer."
The whole game is over.
Manchester City will be slightly disappointed.
However, it is very common for performance to fluctuate in the context of multi-front operations.
Moreover, the game at Anfield was not easy to play. The reason why he was able to return with a clean sheet was thanks to Hao Qiang's excellent condition.
Liverpool continues to fight for fourth place.
In the same round, Chelsea defeated the relegation team Leicester City.
As a result, Chelsea returned to the top of the table, opening up a 2-point gap with Manchester City.
Mourinho is angry again.
I made up my mind in my heart that I would never give away the top spot again.
Manchester City's mentality did not fluctuate much.
Now, competing with Chelsea for the championship will be full of twists and turns. It is better not to become a frightened bird than to panic at the slightest sign of trouble.
Midweek Premier League starts fast.
Manchester City plays Leicester City at home.
Fox City, which had just been educated by Chelsea, was repaired by Manchester City and was directly pushed to the bottom of the league.
Neither Aguero nor Hao Qiang made any achievements.
Silva and Milner each scored in the first and second half to help the team win.
Chelsea defeated West Ham United in east London and maintained a 2-point lead over Manchester City.
FIFA match day is coming in March.
Hao Qiang got a chance to recuperate.
In the last one-third of the season, Hao Qiang devoted himself to football.
If you are not training to maintain your condition, you will rest and recuperate to avoid wasting energy on other things.
The six golden flowers also restrained their desires and did not squeeze Hao Qiang's energy.
They all knew very well that Hao Qiang, who was extremely competitive, was actually holding his breath.
He was upset when he was eliminated from the Champions League by Barcelona last season.
This season, you may not necessarily settle old scores with Barcelona, but you will definitely be working hard to win the third Champions League title in your career!
After the FIFA match day, Manchester City was away to challenge Burnley in the league.
The state of the whole team is worrying.
Burnley set up an iron barrel formation at home.
Manchester City's offensive battle was so intense that the fans couldn't bear to watch it.
The offensive coordination in the frontcourt was simply poor under the dense defense of the opponent.
The pass was never broken.
Hao Qiang frowned from time to time.
Since he played in the Asian Cup in January, he has no tasks for the national team and can only wait for the end of the season to play in the World Cup preliminaries.
But the schedules in Asia, Europe and South America are different.
His teammates went to the national team to compete in important events.
The European Cup qualifiers are at a critical juncture, and the World Cup qualifiers in South America have started early.
Their consumption is huge.
It is normal for him to be unable to recover after returning to the team.
After all, this is not the beginning of the season. The team's overall fatigue has reached a certain level, and it cannot be recovered by a regular three-day rest.
Manchester City suffered a powerful sniper attack from Burnley.
Nothing came of it at halftime.
Hao Qiang can hardly sing with his palm alone.
A little anxious.
They can't fight if it's too thin, so it's better to fight more freely.
If he were in the national football team, he could tell Gao Hongbo directly.
But in Manchester City, I am still worried about the reaction in the locker room.
I am afraid that I will overstep my authority and cause everyone’s dissatisfaction.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Manchester City's overall performance has not improved.
Hao Qiang grabbed points in the penalty area, but his best chance was just average.
After 60 minutes of the game, Manchester City began to press fully.
This instead allowed Burnley to counterattack and seize the opportunity to break through Joe Hart's goal in the 67th minute.
Manchester City fans suddenly looked at each other.
"If we lose this game and Chelsea win, will we be five points behind?"
"Of course! Of course we can't lose this game."
"It's not just that we can't lose, we must win!"
Pellegrini couldn't sit still.
Substitute.
Dzeko appears again.
In Hao Qiang's eyes, Dzeko is actually pretty good.
Perhaps it comes from the fact that he spent two years partnering with a high forward like Cavani in Naples.
He knows very well that even if Dzeko does nothing, standing in the penalty area can give him better space to play.
Moreover, the simple and crude lob play can also allow high center forwards to plug and play.
This is their inherent advantage.
Manchester City's style of play has indeed become simple and rough.
When the state is not good, attacking with more people is useless.
On the contrary, it will expose more space to the opponent, which is digging your own grave.
The pursuit of exquisite play requires high success rate passing support and strong creativity.
Obviously today's Manchester City does not have that.
So Manchester City began to challenge.
Burnley defended and stalled for time.
Seeing Burnley making rescues again and again, Manchester City fans were completely panicked!
If this continues, they will definitely be widened by Chelsea in points.
Mourinho's Chelsea may not be able to win consecutive games, but it is difficult to expect them to lose.
After all, in today's Premier League, the coach with the best defense against anti-counterfeiting is Mourinho.
As the game entered stoppage time, Manchester City pressed forward again.
Two consecutive passes were sent to the goal area.
Dzeko's header from close range was blocked by the goalkeeper with his hand raised to the sky.
When the football fell again, Hao Qiang jumped high and headed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.
The Burnley generals looked troubled and beat their chests and feet in anger.
Hao Qiang, with no expression on his face, rushed into the goal and retreated holding the football.
Manchester City equalized the score.
Fans cheer.
But the game soon came to an end.
They were disappointed and panicked again.
I never thought that Chelsea would have the same ups and downs at home and be tied 1:1 by Southampton.
The points gap between the two teams remains unchanged, still 2 points.
