Outside the Manchester City penalty area, Salah looked at Mo Yang who kicked the ball to the penalty spot, his face was struggling and his mouth was murmuring.
Mo Yang is the second penalty kicker in the Liverpool team. Milner is not on the court now, so this ball should be taken by Mo Yang.
Salah really wanted to ask Mo Yang for the penalty kick, but he was a little embarrassed. At the same time, he was also worried that his recent poor shooting feeling would miss this precious penalty kick that he finally got.
"come over!
"
But just when Salah gave up asking for the penalty kick, he actually saw Mo Yang waving to him.
Salah looked at Mo Yang, who was grinning and waving to him, and was suddenly stunned, and then a surge of ecstasy and emotion surged in his heart.
When Salah ran up to him like a foal, Mo Yang said nothing, patted Salah on the shoulder and backed away.
Off the field, Klopp saw Mo Yang give up the penalty kick to Salah. He was stunned at first, and then shook his head and laughed.
Klopp knows why Mo Yang was given up. He wanted to help Salah find the feeling of scoring goals and the confidence he had last season.
On the field, Salah stood in front of the penalty spot and looked at Ederson who was arrogant on the goal line. He was actually a little nervous.
He hadn't felt this way for a long time.
Salah wiped his hands on his thighs on the court. Atkinson had just blown the whistle and he kicked the ball directly after his approach.
"Goal!
!
!
!
!" In the commentary box, Beglin saw Salah make a free throw from the right and immediately raised his hands and cheered.
On the court, Salah breathed a sigh of relief after scoring the penalty.
If he missed the free throw, he really didn't know how to explain it to Mo Yang.
"So, it's that simple!" Mo Yang stepped forward and put his forearm around Salah's neck, pointing and smiling.
"Thank you, Yang!" Salah nodded, he understood.
Soon, Manchester City kicked off again.
After the game restarted, Mo Yang immediately slowed down the pace of the game.
Now that we have a one-goal lead, there is no need to rush.
Although Salah, Mane and others seemed to be in very good condition today and were very aggressive in pressing, Mo Yang did not forget the hidden dangers of fatigue among these people.
From the opening to the present, they have robbed Manchester City for nearly ten minutes in a row and need to take a break to catch their breath.
In addition, Mo Yang also plans to observe Manchester City to see what they will do if they fall behind. If they can attack, that would be great.
If it were in the past, he really wouldn't be afraid of Manchester City's tactics of recycling and attacking behind them today, but that's not the case now. With almost the entire team wearing exhaustion and DEBUFF, they can't fight such a strong offensive position.
"Guardiola's tactical strategy today is very clear, which is to take it back and look for opportunities to hit Liverpool's back."
"But his kind of bus is very different from some tactics of squatting and stealing."
"Once Manchester City loses the ball in attack, the full-backs will immediately recover it and become a back four. The two midfielders, Fernandinho and De Bruyne, will immediately return to their positions and fight against the backcourt.
To protect.”
"So they are not afraid of Liverpool's full-backs attacking because they have enough personnel to cope with Liverpool's rapid advancement!"
"Look at Liverpool's several attacks during this period. In an instant, Manchester City's players returned to the front of the penalty area to protect them."
"The dense defensive players in the middle force Liverpool to often go to the wing, or pass the ball back to reorganize! Otherwise, it turns into a positional battle." Zhang Lu was talking in the pp sports live broadcast room.
"Yes, Manchester City is lagging behind now. I believe Guardiola will make changes. For Manchester City, taking one point from Anfield is the bottom line. Losing three points is absolutely unacceptable!"
Although Manchester City lost the ball on the field, under the command and control of the dual-core team of Silva and De Bruyne, the team showed no signs of anxiety after conceding the ball. They still made progress slowly and focused on possession of the ball.
On Mo Yang's side, under his command, all members of Liverpool's formation retreated to their own half, and only started to press in the midfield, trying to hook Manchester City up.
On the sidelines, Klopp was satisfied with Mo Yang's choice after seeing the goal.
Now that they are one goal ahead, it is Manchester City who should be anxious. Salah's goal can be said to have defeated Manchester City's conspiracy to recover and hit them behind.
If Manchester City wants to score one point or three points, they must attack.
In the middle circle of the first half, Manchester City continued to control the ball from the backcourt and pass the ball across.
De Bruyne picked up the ball in the middle circle on the right side. Looking ahead, the Liverpool players were spread out, but in his eyes, as long as he passed the ball to any position, Liverpool would immediately form an encirclement.
After hesitating for a moment, seeing Firmino coming up slowly, De Bruyne quickly spiked the ball and turned back. Just as he was about to transfer the ball to the left, he saw Guardiola standing on the sidelines giving him a forward pressure.
gesture.
In an instant, the corners of De Bruyne's mouth turned up, and his heart became hot.
To be honest, De Bruyne hates this defensive-oriented tactical strategy. He likes offense and the pleasure of tearing apart the opponent's defense with passes.
Although he would be beaten very painfully by that monster every time he played against Liverpool, and sometimes felt weak and frustrated, De Bruyne was not afraid. On the contrary, he was eager to give it a try before every game against Liverpool, and was more competitive than other players.
Team games are much more exciting.
Under Guardiola's instructions, Manchester City's tactics have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Starting from the 15th minute of the game, while they were pursuing possession of the ball, their formation began to press forward, and there was also a high press in the frontcourt.
You must know that Manchester City is a technical player, and high-position pressing is not what they are good at.
High pressure and pressing usually only appear in games against teams that are not very capable of counterattacking, forcing the opponent to fight in the half court.
When Mo Yang saw the changes in Manchester City, he immediately smiled. As long as Manchester City was not focused on sneak attacks, it would be much easier to handle.
In the 24th minute of the game, Liverpool's attack advanced to the 30-meter area in front of Manchester City's penalty area, and the attack once again evolved into a positional battle.
Henderson received Firmino's return pass and was quickly forced to the right to score the ball.
Mo Yang gave the ball behind him and was about to chase it, but saw Bai Lele rushing back with great momentum, and he immediately grinned.
This is their first head-to-head confrontation in this game.
“Ata!
!I shovel!
!”
Bai Lele didn't arrive, but his voice arrived first, but this guy shouted for a tackle, but his body was very sincere, and he hit Mo Yang straight up.
Mo Yang saw through Bai Lele's simple little plan at a glance, and he lowered his back, dismounted from his horse, and stiffened his side.
The two collided fiercely facing the right sideline, and the winner was determined instantly.
After the collision, Mo Yang, who was moving to the left, staggered a little, but was still on the edge of the ball, while Bai Lele, who was moving to the right, took a few more steps to stabilize his center of gravity.
The outcome is obvious!
Seeing that Mo Yang was about to turn around and rush towards Mendy after hooking the ball, Bai Lele became mentally retarded in his haste. He grabbed Mo Yang's left arm with one hand and pulled it back. He stretched his other hand from Mo Yang's right shoulder and locked his chest with a choke.
His posture directly knocked Mo Yang down. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if he was trying to strangle Mo Yang.
Mo Yang laughed angrily when he met such a scoundrel.
After getting up, he saw Bai Lele turn around and run away. Mo Yang subconsciously chased after him, but after running a few meters, he realized that this was a competition and stopped immediately.
The scene of the confrontation between the two made the fans at the scene burst into laughter.
Nowadays, almost no Premier League fans know about the relationship between Mo Yang and Bai Lele.
Atkinson also had a smile on his face. Although Bai Lele committed a foul, he did not give him a card, but only warned Bai Lele.
