On August 27, in the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool went to Manchester to face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
There were very few Red Army fans traveling with the team in this game, less than 2,000 people. Many fans used this method to express their dissatisfaction with the team.
But the fans who came to the scene with the team soon discovered that the team's atmosphere seemed to be much better.
The players warming up on the field interacted very frequently, and there was a scene of playing with each other like last season, and everyone had a smile from the bottom of their hearts.
"It seems that Klopp's crazy behavior these days has produced good results!"
In the commentary box, Beglin looked at Mo Yang and others who were chatting and laughing, with a smile on his face.
As soon as the media broke the news a few days ago that Liverpool took their players to have various fun in Liverpool, he immediately realized that this was to relieve the pressure of the players.
Now it seems that Klopp's playful decompression method has a good effect on the surface, but I don't know whether the players' game status has improved.
If not, then Klopp will definitely be drowned in the saliva of fans and media.
And Berglin hopes to be effective. He has always been extremely satisfied with Klopp's coaching. Klopp is the most suitable coach for Liverpool.
At the same time, Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu and Fan Zhiyi, the guest of this game, were also chatting in the LeTV live broadcast room.
"Do you know how I felt when I saw on the Internet a few days ago that Klopp took Moyang and the others to go kart racing?" Fan Zhiyi asked with a smile.
After Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun looked over, he said: "At that time, I thought Klopp was crazy because of his loss! Although I knew he was reducing the pressure on Mo Yang and the others, this kind of behavior was really scary.
.”
"Hahaha..." Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were so amused that they leaned forward and backward with joy.
"Indeed, Klopp is quite crazy sometimes. He dares to put down training and take Moyang and the others out for fun at such a critical moment. But now it seems that this Klopp-style team-building and stress-relieving method is quite effective!"
"I hope Salah and Firmino can recover, otherwise this game will probably be in doubt!" Zhan Jun brought the topic back to this game.
"Okay! Players from both sides come on the field. This is the lineup of both sides for this game!"
"Liverpool has basically not changed, it's still the same lineup!"
"But Van Dijk's injury may have a great impact on Liverpool's defense!"
"And Manchester City adopted a new formation of 3142 this season. It was this formation that allowed them to achieve two terrifying 5-0 records in the first two rounds of the league, directly stewing Brighton and Everton!
"
"After Guardiola suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League and the league last season, he personally kicked off Manchester City's purge."
"In this summer transfer window, he purged more than 20 players in the team through fire sales, free transfers, and loans!"
"Subsequently, it spent nearly 300 million pounds to introduce fresh blood such as Bernardo Silva, Ederson, Danilo, Walker, Mendy and others to create and activate its own tactical system!"
"We won all five games in the warm-up match, and the two rounds of the league also started the indiscriminate massacre mode. Judging from these seven games, Guardiola has succeeded. If he improves Manchester City's ability to attack tough battles this season, Manchester City has the hope of winning the championship!"
While Zhan Jun was talking, the game on the field had begun with Atkinson's whistle.
Countless Red Army fans also watched the game in fear as the whistle blew.
But until the 20th minute of the game, the two sides were evenly matched, and the situation was tense for a while, with each other having two good shots.
On the Liverpool side, all fans were pleasantly surprised by the recovery of the forward's form.
Although he has not yet returned to his peak form last season, Salah twice received Moyang's through ball and hit the goal with his inwards. His agility made fans see that the Egyptian Pharaoh is already on his way back.
Klopp has been standing on the sidelines carefully observing the current tactics of Manchester City for 20 minutes.
The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became!
De Bruyne and Silva continued to move to the wings during this period to create space for forwards Jesus and Aguero to pass and attack.
There is also a third man who keeps running to get the ball, disrupting and tearing up their defensive formation.
Guardiola's tactics look very simple, but in fact the soul of this new tactic is the triangle passing and controlling, relying on movement to create offensive passes and space.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Manchester City gained the ball again and launched an attack from behind.
Otamendi dribbled the ball in from the backcourt, and Silva ran directly to the outside, directly taking Wijnaldum beside him out of his position.
As soon as Wijnaldum left, Jesus immediately retreated from the front line to support him. Otamendi didn't hesitate at all and passed directly to Jesus' feet.
Seeing Jesus take the ball, Lovren immediately pushed up from behind to prevent him from turning around.
But Lovren never expected that when he hit the ball, there would be a gap behind him.
Silva, who had been waiting for this opening for a long time, jumped in instantly.
And Jesus also kicked the ball towards Fernandinho in front of him the moment Lovren got close.
Fernandinho met the ball with a long pass and passed it directly to Silva.
At the critical moment, Alisson burst out of the penalty area and kicked the ball into the backcourt of Manchester City, killing the crisis.
The Red Army fans were frightened when they saw Manchester City's hidden murderous attack.
In the domestic live broadcast room, Zhang Lu saw Manchester City's attack and exclaimed: "How many times has this happened? Manchester City is now staring at Wijnaldum's side and playing this kind of pass-and-run attack, which is clearly bullying the court.
Wijnaldum’s field of vision is not as big as Moyang’s!”
Fan Zhiyi laughed and said: "In the first ten minutes, Manchester City also played this kind of cooperation on Mo Yang's side several times, but every time Mo Yang found and intercepted him, and then took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. They were frightened.
!”
"Fortunately, there are some problems with Fernandinho's passing skills this time, his strength is also stronger, and Alisson is alert enough. Otherwise, if Silva gets the ball, it will be a one-way goal."
"With Silva's shooting skills, there is really little difference between this kind of single-handed goal and an empty goal!" Zhan Jun said with a lingering fear on his face, "Manchester City's attack is too targeted. This is Guardiola's new tactic!"
"Although Manchester City has not scored yet, judging from these dozens of minutes of the game, we can basically interpret Guardiola's thoughts. He uses the midfielders on both sides to cut through the receiving line for the forwards to attract Liverpool.
The defensive player steps forward to mark him, and then hits the space behind him!" Zhang Lu made a concluding speech.
On the sidelines, how could Klopp not notice that Manchester City was staring at Wijnaldum?
But there is no way. If they don't come out, Manchester City will use this kind of coordinated movement to quickly knock the ball to the third person running and directly attack from the wing.
Although Manchester City's two forwards, Jesus and Sergio Aguero, are not tall, they are very good at grabbing points and heading the ball.
Coupled with the fact that De Bruyne and Silva are two world-class midfielders who can pass the ball with millimeter accuracy, allowing Manchester City to attack from the wing is tantamount to courting death.
