Chapter 1039

Manchester City's loss of points came unexpectedly, as if a film was brewing a climax, but suddenly turned dull.

Later on the same day Liverpool beat Tottenham, Manchester City drew 1-1 away by Burnley!

After the game, there was a lot of noise in the studio of sky sports.

Carragher said bluntly to Lineker: "it can be concluded now that Manchester City is still far from Liverpool!"

"Come on, Manchester City is just 2 points behind Liverpool. It's a ball gap. Now it's not enough to draw the following conclusion!"

Carragher stretched out his finger.

"Manchester City does not have the pressure of the Champions League knockout, Manchester City does not have the Carling Cup, and Manchester City does not go to the World Club Cup. Manchester City can have more time to prepare for the game and meet the game with a better attitude, but their performance in the game is not convincing!

Guardiola led Manchester City to play a lot of wonderful games. I don't deny that. I can also admit that Manchester City is excellent.

But when comparing Liverpool as a reference and as a standard, Manchester City is obviously worse! "

Reinkel argued: "is it certain that the strong win the football match? Manchester City is just unlucky today. Liverpool will lose points against weak teams!

You must admit it!

Their two teams are playing football with similar styles. It may be only a shot deviation that determines the result of the game! "

Carragher shook his head and said: "no, no, no, Liverpool and Manchester City are very different styles!

Guardiola pays more attention to possession, so we see that Manchester City's possession rate is higher than Liverpool's this season!

But what about creating threats? Liverpool have more shots per game and more shots per goal than Manchester City!

You can say that Manchester City is pursuing success rate, but what is the result? Liverpool scored more goals than Manchester City!

The opportunity conversion rate is also higher than that of Manchester City!

Data won't lie!

We can't simply classify proactive tactics as similar styles. In fact, they are different.

Liverpool's frequent strong attacks on opponents are trying to make their strong defense work. Their defense is not preparing to intercept the opponent's counterattack, but trying to make the opponent unable to organize the attack and create new attack opportunities!

Manchester City's long possession of the ball wants to tear the opponent's defense, but they also have an enemy that we will ignore!

Time!

When the game time is over 60 minutes and Manchester City can't take the lead, the pressure will naturally come to Manchester City. They will become anxious. They take the initiative to speed up the pace, but the attack success rate is declining!

In contrast, Liverpool scored the most goals in the first half of the European top league and scored the most goals 25 minutes ago. Why?

Because they know that the earlier they score, the better the situation will be for them and let them play better in the next game!

Manchester City have a kind of confidence that "we will win the game". This confidence is too blind!

You say they are only two points behind, and I can responsibly tell you that this two-point gap will make Manchester City no longer surpass Liverpool!

Even if they may draw with Liverpool, it will be very difficult to surpass Liverpool! "

Reinkel shook his head and said: "Liverpool are going to play the Champions League knockout! Their state in the League will certainly fluctuate! "

Carragher laughed: "it's not impossible for Manchester City to expect Liverpool to make mistakes, but the premise is that they can maintain a strong performance. Unfortunately, when the middle and lower reaches of the season enter the cruelest stage, when those teams fight hard to avoid relegation, I think Manchester City's ability to deal with such a game is lower than Liverpool!

From different styles and psychological quality! "

......

Situ Yunbing didn't expect Manchester City to lose points in this round. He may have been numb.

It is customary to think that Manchester City will also win.

In this round, Manchester United won Huddersfield 2-0 at home.

Arsenal swept Everton 5-1 at home.

Chelsea were slaughtered 4-1 by Watford on the road!

Liverpool, 74 points.

Manchester City, 72 points.

Arsenal, 65 points.

Manchester United, 52 points.

Chelsea, 47 points.

Tottenham, 45 points.

Manchester United began to occupy a clear advantage in the four groups.

There was no war in the middle of the week. Liverpool had a good life and rest. Situ Yunbing sorted out some books from his collection and lent them to Feng Kuoyang.

It has been nearly a month since he joined the Liverpool first team coaching team. Feng Kuo Yang studies every day. Situ Yunbing is gratified that Feng Kuo Yang will take the initiative to ask other coaches for advice.

Although situ Yunbing said that he was a busboy, no coach would really yell at him, but Feng Kuoyang took the initiative to take all the chores on himself. After training, he cleaned up the training ground and helped others carry their bags when going to the away game. As long as he can do physical work and whether it's his job or not, he will add hands to his ability.

This makes Feng Kuo Yang very popular in Liverpool Club. Now even players sometimes tease him.

Everyone may not regard him as a coach. Situ Yunbing has nothing to help Feng Kuoyang Liwei. It's not necessary.

Consider him an intern to study. Anyway, Liverpool just give him a salary of ￡ 1 a month.

Maybe he is not as fast on the road as Alonzo, but situ Yunbing sees his attitude and pay.

Chinese sports media regard Feng Kuoyang as a closed disciple of situ Yunbing, and situ Yunbing is noncommittal.

At the weekend, Liverpool came to Southampton for the 27th round of the league.

In this game, Liverpool fell into a bitter battle. The crazy closing down of Southampton at home really made it difficult for Liverpool to be full of continuity in attack and reduced the threat a lot.

But at the critical moment, mbape stood up and received the pass from glitzman in the 73rd minute of the game. He pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal after the restricted area!

Liverpool took the lead away from home!

After seeing the goal, situ Yunbing also stood up from the coach's seat and walked to the sideline to cheer!

Southampton tried to equalize at home and launched a crazy counterattack in the next 15 minutes.

There were faint signs of losing control of the game.

However, Liverpool withstood the pressure and scored in the 89th minute by glitzmann through a wave of counter attack fast break in the left rib of the restricted area!

The Reds beat Southampton with two goals!

Etihad stadium.

Manchester City played Leicester City at home in this round. Guardiola gave the team a dead order before the game!

You have to win the game!

Over the past week, the trend of public opinion on Fleet Street has also begun to look down on Manchester City!

Because Liverpool's two league draws so far are away against Manchester City and away against Arsenal!

Manchester City have already won three draws. Apart from the draw with Liverpool, their opponents in the other two draws are not strong!

According to the current Championship standard, this belongs to the chain!

Manchester City also held back their resentment and vented all their anger on Leicester City at home!

Goals appeared one after another, but Guardiola didn't laugh once on the sidelines.

Even if Manchester City finally swept Leicester City 5-1, Guardiola still looked worried.

The championship competition this season is also the biggest challenge Guardiola has encountered in his coaching career. He is not only fighting against Liverpool, but also challenging his limits!

Manchester United lost 1-0 away to Newcastle United in this round, which is partly due to their energy for the Champions League knockout.

Chelsea won West Brom 3-0 at home. It's still a good game and a bad game. It's already rumored that conti will finish class at the end of the season!

The highlight of this round was staged at White Hart Lane, with Spurs holding a North London derby with Arsenal.

The Champions League knockout match will be played in the middle of next week. Although both teams are unwilling to consume too much in the league, their competitive environment does not allow them to lose points.

Spurs lose points and it's impossible to compete for four.

Arsenal lose points and quit the championship!

In this contest of willpower, klopp's team laughed to the end and won the arch rival Tottenham 2-1 at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool, 77 points.

Manchester City, 75 points.

Arsenal, 68 points.

Manchester United, 52 points.

Chelsea, 50 points.

Tottenham, 45 points.

......

Last season, Manchester United won the Europa League Championship and directly won the Champions League tickets this season. Five teams in the Premier League fought in the Champions League, and all of them reached the top 16 of the Champions League!

For the first time in the history of the Champions League.

Fleet Street dare not imagine that four Premier League teams can reach the Champions League semi-finals, but it is also the glory of the Premier League to rejuvenate if at least three teams can reach the top four!

Liverpool have carried the flag of the Premier League these years, but they are always unique in the top four!

Everyone is looking forward to more Premier League teams reaching the top four this year.

Liverpool reached the last 16 of the Champions League as the top of the group. Their opponent is Basel from Switzerland. They will play away in the first leg.

At the pre match press conference before going to Basel, the outside world was more concerned about whether Liverpool would continue to retain its strength in the Champions League. After all, Liverpool's leading edge in the League was very small.

Situ Yunbing made a sonorous and powerful response.

"I don't think there are obvious weak teams in the top 16 of the Champions League. As the champions of the past four years, if Liverpool focus on comparing the strength of their opponents, it is obviously a huge mistake!

We don't expect to be a cold protagonist. We should concentrate and devote ourselves to this battle from the beginning!

Especially now that we have a prosperous lineup, we can't take it lightly. Since we are strong, we should hold the victory tightly in our hands and don't give our opponents any chance!

The start of the knockout also means that our season sprint has begun. It will come earlier than in previous years, but this is our current situation. From the League to the Champions League, as well as the Carling Cup final and the FA Cup at the end of the month, Liverpool has the experience and strength to deal with the challenges they bring!

I don't know if Basel is ready, but I won't allow Liverpool to slack off! "

The legendary young coach's speech has shown that he is determined to win the 10th championship of Liverpool Club!
