Chapter 997

The battle between Liverpool and Manchester City has attracted worldwide attention!

This is definitely a rare contest between super strong teams in Contemporary European football!

Even if Manchester city suffered Waterloo last season, the biggest gimmick is that the strength of the lineup does not fall but rise in the new season!

Fairy fight!

On the weekend, situ Yunbing led his team to visit the Etihad stadium. The football atmosphere in Manchester was extremely fanatical. When situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he was attracted by the deafening cheers.

The photographers on the sidelines looked forward to it, and finally got their wish, and photographed the picture of situ Yunbing and Guardiola exchanging greetings on the sidelines.

After shaking hands with Guardiola, situ Yunbing simply greeted each other, showing demeanor and etiquette. There was no other communication.

They each came to the coach's command area to stand and wait for the start of the game.

Guardiola's expression is not good. He doesn't hate situ Yunbing's sudden attack on him last season. To tell the truth, situ Yunbing made him realize the cruelty of the competition in the Premier League earlier and more deeply!

In particular, as the ruler defending his throne, situ Yunbing might not be as aggressive as situ Yunbing, but he would never be polite to his competitors.

After a summer's rest, Manchester City is back on the road. There is no moth at the beginning of the new season, but meeting Liverpool so early is not what Guardiola expected. They are better than Arsenal, at least at home!

Situ Yunbing knows that Manchester City's second rise in the Premier League has become a climate, and failure is a more exciting tonic, but all aspiring giants basically have the quality of courage after knowing shame, and Manchester City is no exception, especially for the perfectionist Guardiola!

How badly he fell last season, how strong his rebound will be this season!

Situ Yunbing couldn't help but feel very excited, which was very different from his calm feeling when he played Manchester United in the European Super Cup.

Because Guardiola's team is full of too many unknowns in performance!

The first players of the two teams came on the stage holding caddies, and the Etihad stadium erupted into cheers that shook the sky!

"Good afternoon, dear viewers, and welcome to a focus game in the fourth round of the Premier League in 2017-2018!

Blue moon Manchester City host the defending champions Liverpool!

At present, both teams have won three consecutive victories in the first three league matches of the season. I don't know who can continue to win in a row after this round!

Manchester City is the most obvious team in the Premier League to improve their preparations in the summer. They have enriched the defensive line, while Liverpool only made personnel replacement in the front line. Waldi left the team and glitzmann arrived.

Last season, Chelsea focused on the league and Liverpool to compete for the championship until the last moment, and Manchester City will certainly devote themselves to the league this season. Therefore, Manchester City ranked second among all teams in the heat of winning the championship this season. Of course, the first place is Liverpool, which has won five consecutive titles in the Premier League!

Can Manchester City beat favourites Liverpool at home?

If they can do it, there is no doubt that Manchester City will be more favored by the outside world, which will greatly stimulate their confidence and fighting spirit!

Let's look at the starting lineup of both sides.

Manchester City started 4141 at home

Goalkeeper: Edson.

Defenders: walker, stone, Otamendi, Mendi.

Midfield: Danilo, de Brauner, fernandinho, Silva, Aguero.

Forward: gersus.

Liverpool started 433 away

Goalkeeper: telstegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Guerrero.

Midfield: Casimiro, Eriksson, Cantor.

Forwards: mbape, levandovsky, Gareth bell.

It is worth mentioning that Robertson has recovered from injury, but to be on the safe side, situ Yunbing only arranged him on the bench today.

The game will begin soon. Let's look forward to the performance of the two teams in this game! "

Situ Yunbing's bright eyes were obviously excited. He couldn't wait for the game to start early.

Guardiola looked serious, but there was a bit of tension in her serious expression.

This is a contest to test the results of Manchester City's summer preparations in his eyes!

With the referee's whistle, the noisy and restless Etihad stadium ushered in the peak battle of the Premier League this season!

The visiting Liverpool took the lead in kicking off. After levandovsky dialed the ball, Gareth bell knocked the ball back, and the Manchester City players immediately came forward to counter rob. At the same time, the midfielders also began to stand and block the attack formation of Liverpool.

After a continuous quick pass adjustment in the middle and back of Liverpool, Arnold crossed the top and sent it straight out from the side in front of the middle line.

Mbape quickly turned around beside Mendi and succeeded in anti offside. Before the football was about to fly out of the bottom line, he took off and padded the ball to the middle of the restricted area.

Levandovsky synchronously followed up, ran obliquely, robbed Otamendi's position, met the ball and directly shook his head to attack the goal!

The football flew to the far corner of the goal. Edson was calm, took off after moving and took off the ball from the air.

"In less than a minute, Liverpool completed their first goal attack. Mbape hit the limit cross, and levandovsky caught and headed the goal!

Manchester City fans should feel the pressure, as do the Manchester City players on the pitch! "

Edson kicked off quickly, Manchester City launched a fast attack from the right, Danilo received Volcker's pass in the fast forward insertion, and then completed the wall cooperation with de Brauner in the middle. Kanter was blocked by de Brauner for the first time, but he was still kicked out by the other party.

Manchester City are in excellent form!

Danilo, who continued to insert forward, slanted the ball to the front right of the restricted area under the pressure of Guerrero's rapid return.

Jesus quickly ran to pick up the ball and moved forward to the right. Although he swayed in front of kulibali, his starting position was not very good, but he still forced his starting shot!

The football flew directly to the near corner of the goal, and telstegen also moved quickly and confiscated the ball!

"Wow! Manchester City also completed their first goal attack after the opening. Jesus' shot failed to test Liverpool goalkeeper telstegen!

Will Liverpool control the scene?

No,

They immediately launched a fast attack! "

Eriksson picked up the pass from Carmelo in the middle circle and then kicked the ball to find Cantor. The latter sent a close to the ground oblique pass and the football rolled to the left of the front field. When Gareth bell wanted to break through Walker forcibly after taking the ball, Walker used physical confrontation to block Gareth bell out of the sideline.

The referee whistled for Walker's foul.

Manchester City fans immediately booed to protest against the referee!

Situ Yunbing now understands Guardiola's idea of summer aid.

He spent 100 million pounds to introduce Volcker and Mendy. The characteristics of the two full backs are somewhat similar. In fact, the technology is not very delicate and the speed is OK, but they are definitely not the leaders of offensive full backs, but they are tall and powerful, with absolute positive defense, interception and confrontation ability!

Such a full back, even if broken by the opponent, can always use the physical confrontation advantage to foul and delay the opponent's attack!

In this era, it is too difficult to introduce offensive full backs who can attack and defend well!

The top full backs have a price but no market. They are "out of stock" in the transfer market for a long time!

Guardiola can only change his mind to strengthen the full back position.

Instead of using those full backs who are not sharp enough in attack and scary in defense, it's better to lay a solid foundation for defense first!

As for the problem of attack, it's not a headache for him.

After all, to attack organizational creativity, there are de Brauner and Silva. To break through alone, he has Stirling and Mahrez.

But today against Liverpool, sterling was unable to play because of injury.

After strengthening the defense line, Manchester City has a layer of protection when dealing with the opponent's side counter attack fast break, especially in the Premier League which pays attention to physical confrontation!

When Liverpool's free kick from the front wing came out, Guerrero inserted it and turned into the inscribed track. In response to Eriksson's pass, he rushed past de Brauner. Facing the interception of Fernando NiO, Guerrero shifted the ball with his left foot and swayed past the other side. When Fernando NiO just turned to pursue, Guerrero directly picked the ball to the back of the restricted area!

Guerrero's series of operations made situ Yunbing look a little stunned on the side of the field. It was done at one go!

The football hanging into the right rib of the restricted area was directly volleyed by mbape in the sandwiched state and hit the goal of Manchester City!

However, due to the interference of Mendi, his shot didn't eat the right part. After the football hit the ground, he was hugged by Edson.

Hoo!

The fans were amazed.

Edson threw the ball and just threw it out to find Silva. As a result, Silva pulled the ball to dodge the counter grab from Eriksson after stopping the ball, but Casimiro rushed up and broke the ball!

Guardiola looked nervous on the sidelines. It's taboo to lose the ball in the back court!

Camero dribbled the ball to the right.

Arnold followed up and then skewed the ball to the middle. Eriksson kicked the ball and crossed the ball to the left in front of the restricted area.

Gareth bell hit the ball with a quick cut and shot angrily!

Football goes straight to the far corner of the goal!

Edson's effort to save this time was obviously slow!

When he was already a little desperate, he looked back and saw the football rubbing the outside of the right gatepost and flying to the grandstand. It was relieved, but he still had lingering palpitations!

Manchester City fans look at each other and everyone has a feeling of deja vu.

shudder with fear!

"The rhythm is too fast! After Silva's broken ball, Liverpool quickly launched a front court fast attack. In a twinkling of an eye, the ball came to Gareth Bell's running line. His shot and goal were very close!

If the ball is slightly towards the goal, it is an absolute dead corner!

Manchester City escaped a disaster. Although we can understand that Manchester City hopes to seize the opportunity to make a threat fast break, we must pay attention to the success rate!

Otherwise, in the face of Liverpool's strong midfield counter attack, Manchester City may play with fire and set themselves on fire! "
