At St. Mary's Stadium, Guardiola stood in the coaching area, with his hands behind his back and a satisfied smile on his lips.
On the field, De Bruyne once again sent a curved rainbow pass from outside the penalty area on the right side of Southampton, directly finding Sterling in the back of the penalty area.
Sterling lost the fight for the top, and the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Maya Yoshida, allowing David Silva in the rib area on the left side of the top of the arc to get it, and it was directly returned to the top of the arc, and De Bruyne followed up directly.
It's just a violent long shot.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the penalty area.
Guardiola saw this beautiful multi-level attack and kept applauding, and the look of joy on his face became more and more obvious.
De Bruyne was particularly active on the court today, organizing extremely threatening attacks many times and playing almost whatever he wanted, which made Guardiola very satisfied.
After a while, Guardiola returned to the coaching bench with a thirsty mouth.
"Pep, Liverpool scored!" Assistant coach Arteta leaned over and said.
After taking a sip of water, Guardiola frowned and asked casually: "Is Yang playing?"
"Not yet!" Arteta shook his head.
Guardiola nodded, as he expected Liverpool to score.
The only thing he worries about is how many Liverpool can score!
Fortunately, De Bruyne also showed his super form in this game.
In Guardiola's opinion, De Bruyne in this state is not inferior to Mo Yang at all.
When the league reaches this situation, Guardiola has done everything he can.
Now it depends on who has better luck, who is in better condition and has better offensive efficiency, then whoever can win the championship.
Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool continued to besiege Brighton, and even Brighton's forward Locadia, who stayed in the frontcourt, was forced to withdraw to participate in the defense.
He felt that his stay was completely redundant. The team could not get the ball to his feet at all, and the defense was in danger, let alone any bullshit counterattack.
Even if the ball can come to his feet, what can he do if he is alone?
On the sidelines, after seeing a goal, Brighton were so frightened that they retreated. Klopp was pacing back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, like an ant on a hot pot.
On the surface, his formation for this game was 433, but in fact the player positions on the field were 4231. The reason was that he did not want to lose the ball and could not lose the ball.
In this game, what he and Guardiola are competing for is not who can win the game, but the goal difference. Whoever scores more goals more efficiently will win the Premier League championship.
Therefore, he did not dare to attack unscrupulously, otherwise allowing Brighton to score a goal would undoubtedly be an act of capitalizing on the enemy.
Looking back at Mo Yang, who was already a little restless on the sidelines, Klopp hesitated.
Originally, he didn't want Mo Yang to play in this game.
Although the report submitted by Rodri was that Mo Yang's injury had miraculously recovered ahead of schedule, to be on the safe side, he wanted Mo Yang to continue resting and consolidating to prepare for the Champions League finals against Real Madrid at the end of the month.
Otherwise, once he gets injured again, Mo Yang will be completely unable to compete in the Champions League.
Compared with the Premier League champions, Klopp actually prefers the Champions League.
This is his second time reaching the Champions League finals, and he doesn’t want to get the consolation prize again!
In the 34th minute of the game, Yin Bu received the ball in front of the arc, turned around and tried to pass to Salah from the wing into the penalty area, but Brighton center back Dunk saw through it and successfully intercepted the ball.
Dunk poked the ball towards left back Borg.
Borg quickly passed the ball directly to Kayal in the middle before Liverpool came up to press.
But before Kayal could catch the ball, Henderson and Fabinho approached from the left and right, and directly blocked him behind him.
After Henderson got the ball, he directly passed the ball across to Robertson on the left frontcourt.
Suddenly, Brighton's overall defensive focus immediately shifted to Robertson's side.
After Robertson received the ball, he moved sideways and led towards the center. At the same time, Mane on the left moved to the wing, preparing to receive the ball.
After attracting Brighton midfielder Stephens and right back Schelotto in front of him, Robertson suddenly passed Mane while dribbling the ball horizontally.
After receiving the ball, Mane stopped on the edge of the penalty area and confronted Brighton center back Duffy.
After passing the ball, Robertson moved forward with Stephens and Schelotto running into the penalty area from the left rib area. He suddenly started to break through horizontally towards the top area of the arc.
"Chance!"
On the bench, Mo Yang saw that Brighton's defense in the penalty area was messed up by Robertson's forward penetration and the movement of Yin Bu and Salah in the middle. Mo Yang couldn't help but shout out. He saw the pass.
The ball is open.
At this moment, Mane, who was dribbling the ball laterally, passed the ball.
The ball went straight to the unmarked Wijnaldum in front of the penalty spot.
Wijnaldum ran to meet the ball, and without stopping the ball, he just pushed the ball.
"No!"
Seeing this push shot being blocked by Brighton goalkeeper Ryan with his foot, the 50,000 Red Army fans present let out a loud sound of annoyance.
Mo Yang held his head and looked annoyed. This shot was actually not the best choice.
The best option is actually to meet the ball diagonally to Robertson who is advancing forward on the left side of the penalty area.
Mo Yang is not an afterthought, but Robertson did have an excellent chance to hit the goal just now, but it is a pity that Wijnaldum did not see it.
“holy shit!!!!!!”
At this moment, curses from Peter, Milner and others came from behind.
Mo Yang was startled and quickly moved to Firmino behind him. When he looked at his phone, he was immediately confused.
In just 3 minutes, Manchester City scored two goals in a row, and Southampton was almost defeated.
Seeing De Bruyne who had already made two passes and one shot on his mobile phone, Mo Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to play.
At this moment, Peter stood up and walked towards Klopp.
"Jurgen, Manchester City is 4-0!"
Hearing Peter's words, Klopp's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
At this moment, Klopp was a little flustered. He felt that the champion had quietly slipped away to Manchester City.
"Let Yang play!" Peter gave his own advice.
Klopp looked past Peter and looked at Mo Yang. When he saw this kid staring straight at him, he suddenly became happy. He looked at Peter, nodded and smiled: "Let Yang warm up!"
At this moment Klopp doesn't care much anymore.
Fuck the Champions League final!
Fuck Real Madrid!
"Positive!"
"Positive!"
"Go warm up!"
Pete trotted back to the coaching bench and waved directly to Mo Yang.
When Mo Yang heard this, he suddenly smiled and jumped up from his seat happily.
"oh!!!"
"Positive!!!!!"
"Positive!!!!!"
"Positive!!!!!"
"Positive!!!!!"
"..."
Seeing Mo Yang appear on the sidelines and starting to warm up, the fans in the stands realized that Mo Yang was about to appear. Suddenly, more than 50,000 Red Army fans at the scene became agitated, and the cheers became louder and louder.
At the same time, dots of white light continued to flash in the west stands, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Oh my God!"
Huang Lei and He Jiong were stunned when they saw the fans using mobile phone flashes to create a light show while chanting Mo Yang's name. It was the first time they saw Mo Yang's terrifying popularity in Liverpool.
At the same time, a strong sense of pride arose in their hearts, a resonance that came from the Yanhuang bloodline.
"The fans used flashing lights to show Mo Yang's status in Liverpool!"
