Chapter 157 Red Army - Liverpool!

On the second day of the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, the Champions League semi-final "Premier League Derby" between Manchester City and Liverpool also began.

This game was played at Liverpool's home court. In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Manchester City was tied by Liverpool at home.

Aguero and Firmino each scored a goal.

In this situation, the media is generally optimistic about Liverpool's promotion.

On the one hand, the next game is home to Liverpool.

On the other hand, in the league, Manchester City bears more pressure.

Manchester City is currently the leader of the Premier League. As the favorites to win the championship, they are under great pressure to fight on two fronts.

But Liverpool is more relaxed. Klopp has given up the league and is fully preparing for the Champions League. Moreover, this time period is also very friendly to Liverpool. Some time ago, Liverpool fell into a wave of injuries. When it was close to the Champions League final, the return of the main force made Liverpool fans They breathed a sigh of relief.

An all-main Liverpool lead many people feel that they have more impact than Manchester City.

However, before this game, "Kicker" reporter Medico expressed a different point of view.

He thinks it will be Manchester City who will eventually advance to the final.

the reason is simple.

Manchester City has De Bruyne in midfield.

Coefficient In the games Liverpool lost to Tottenham in the first two seasons, Liverpool's midfielders were all blown up!

Therefore, Medico believes that De Bruyne, who is now as famous as Yi Le, can also accomplish this.

Even, Guardiola can study Tottenham's tactics last season and give Liverpool some targets.

After all, Liverpool's midfield lacks an organizer. They have excellent front and rear courts, but midfielders are basically doing dirty work and cannot do fine work.

Therefore, if you want to beat Liverpool, you must start from the midfield.

This argument attracted a lot of discussion.

Some people think it is unrealistic, and now Liverpool is not last season's Liverpool.

And Manchester City is not Tottenham, they can't play that kind of mad dog tactics.

When it comes to mad dogs, Liverpool are closer to the word.

Dutch football, total attack and defense!

The current Liverpool is indeed closer to Tottenham last season. As long as they are allowed to play with momentum, they will be a wild horse running wild.

Although Manchester City is the leader of the Premier League, people are generally optimistic about this red dynasty that is recovering.

Before the game, De Bruyne said in an interview: "We will win the game and we are going to the Champions League final. This game is of great significance to the team and to me personally!"

With a solemn expression, he said, "I know he's waiting for me there!"

Who is that 'he' does not require any guesswork.

Everyone knew it was Yi Le.

If there is no Yi Le's turn out, De Bruyne is estimated to be the top midfielder at this stage.

But in fact, De Bruyne was suppressed by Yi Le for two full years. It was not until Yi Le left the Premier League that De Bruyne was able to regain his strength.

But even so, it has long been known that De Bruyne suffers from "transphobia".

It can be said that Yi Le is De Bruyne's nightmare, he needs to overcome him, defeat him!

And the stage of the Champions League final is his chance to prove himself!

 …

The ninety-minute game is over.

The entire Anfield erupted like a volcano.

Manchester City fans covered their faces with their hands and watched the KOP stand celebrating wildly. Liverpool's carnival was built on their pain.

Manchester City lost!

The players looked pained.

De Bruyne looked up to the sky and sighed, his feet could no longer support him to continue running, and his heart was full of bitterness.

After all, he couldn't get to that person.

The tactical arrangement of this game is generally the same as outside speculation.

Guardiola's Manchester City wants to suppress De Bruyne in the midfield, but De Bruyne's style of play is not as aggressive as Yi Le, and he always fails to achieve the desired effect.

On the other hand, Liverpool played Manchester City without any rhythm through running and counter-robbing.

De Bruyne was lost, and Manchester City's offensive was more than half contained.

The most shocking thing is Liverpool's defense,

In this game, Liverpool's defensive counterattack showed their cold minions, and the offensiveness of the two full-backs Robertson and Arnold was fully released.

Especially Arnold, this young player in 1998 shined in the audience, his stable defense and counterattack ability has been greatly affirmed, especially his precise crossing has repeatedly made contributions.

In this game, what the fans yelled the most was 'God, his cross is like Yi! '

This praise is already very high-level in the Premier League. After all, when Yi Le played for Tottenham, he dominated the best player and assist list for two seasons.

And what you need to know is that Arnold is a right back.

There were two goals in this game, all of which were assisted by Arnold. This performance is crazy.

After the game, many Liverpool fans criticized the pre-match analysis of "Kicker" reporter Medico, saying that Liverpool could not be targeted at all.

In this regard, Medico once again issued a document saying:

"Manchester City lost because their midfield wasn't dominant enough. De Bruyne wasn't in good form and his style of play couldn't support aggressive tactics. They didn't seem to adapt to this tactical system. .”

"Of course, I admit that Liverpool won beautifully, but congratulations, you will face Paris Saint-Germain and a stronger super midfielder in your next game."

 …

"Paris Saint-Germain's offensive ability is very strong!" Klopp said solemnly: "They may be the most offensive team among the teams we have encountered so far!"

There are thick papers on his desk, all of which are some analytical data about Paris Saint-Germain.

Among them, the attack mode of Paris is studied, as well as the analysis of the game and so on..

Have to admit, these two teams are very similar.

They all play 'passionate football'.

As long as the morale is up, the mad dog mode will be turned on directly, chasing and running all over the field.

The only difference is that Liverpool pays more attention to the front and back.

Paris Saint-Germain pays more attention to the linkage between the midfield and the frontcourt.

Moreover, Klopp has to admit that he needs to work more on the midfield.

Klopp's Liverpool has played against Yi Le several times, but every time they lost a game, it was because the midfielder was blown up.

He clearly understands that the midfielder must be guaranteed.

If this Chinese is completely kicked out, it will be a nightmare for Liverpool!

But how to limit Yi Le has always been the focus of European football, and there is no answer until now.

They can only rely on some moves to influence Yi Le as much as possible, instead of relying on the combination of tactics and players to fight bayonets.

Klopp is well aware of the cost of fighting the bayonet.

But the situation at this time told him that he could only fight the bayonet with Paris, otherwise, Liverpool's offense would not be able to play.

He is not a timid person.

Now that you have come here, you can only give it a go!
