"Manchester City has finally begun to show his prowess to the world this season through the luxury lineup that Manchester City has invested an average of more than [-] million pounds per year in the past three or four years. However, this team still has elements that are lacking. I think the first is experience. , That is the experience of the Champions League. The Champions League is often played against teams with different styles.

Manchester City's overall performance in the Champions League is not good, why do you say this?

Because today their opponent Liverpool is a team with a variety of styles and tactics in both the Champions League and the league.

They are not only challenging the defending champions of the Premier League, but also the defending champions of the Champions League!

The difficulty can be imagined.

So it also makes me look forward to what kind of techniques and tactics Mancini will use at Anfield today to play against Liverpool. "

"Hehe, Gary, I'm also curious, let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Liverpool starting 433.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baynes.

Midfield: Dirk, Gerrard, Mascherano.

Forwards: Raul, Suarez, Qin Xiong.

Liverpool put up their 433-[-]-[-] offensive system at home today that has matured in the past two years. What is more surprising is that Kevin Dirk appeared in the position of central midfielder today. What kind of effect will Koeman's approach bring? I don't know, we have to observe carefully during the game.

Manchester City starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Hart.

Defenders: Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy.

Midfield: Milner, Barry, Silva, Yaya Toure, Nasri.

Forward: Aguero.

Mancini did not send a 433 formation today, but a slightly more balanced 4231. Today's starting lineup should be considered Manchester City's strongest lineup. Let us wait and see what will happen in the game. "

The game kicked off with the deafening cheers at Anfield.

Manchester City took the lead.

Although Manchester City's ability to control the scene is not outstanding, their ability to slow down and enter the game is still very strong.

In the first half of the season, they built a strong self-confidence, and they will not be timid and cowering in the face of Liverpool.

In the second minute of the game, Manchester City played a smooth and fast small team cooperation on the left side of the front court.

On the left, Nasri relied on his foot skills to make a breakthrough when he was defending, so that he retreated, and then he dribbled and cut across the center, and then knocked the ball across when Gerrard came to press.

Yaya Toure then stepped in to dribble to the right of the midfield.

At this time, Mascherano moved to Yaya Toure's forward line, and Yaya Toure passed the ball obliquely to David Silva in the middle of the penalty area.

Mascherano immediately went to intercept, and David Silva slanted the ball into the left rib of the penalty area.

Nasri, who instigated this offensive, made a strong inward cut.

He dashed through the gap between Johnson and Skrtel, received a pass from David Silva in the penalty area, and immediately swept the ball in front of the goal.

Aguero rushes past Skrtel and grabs a shot!

This is a great opportunity to attack!

After Manchester City established David Silva as the core of the frontcourt playmaker, they have been able to play exquisite cooperation in positional battles.

But the moment Aguero took a shot, a figure appeared in front of him!

Thiago Silva puts a shovel to block!

Aguero's shot bounced off Thiago Silva's thigh!

"Manchester City played a threatening offensive at the beginning of the game. Fortunately, Thiago Silva fell to the ground in time to block Aguero's shot! Hehehe, this game will definitely be very exciting. Manchester City is indeed better than before the season. The performance on the Community Shield is even better, it can be described as a new look!"

The block went out and cleared the sideline at the feet of Mascherano.

Liverpool's defense does not seem to be too reassuring today.

In the 4th minute of the game, Yaya Toure passed the ball obliquely to Milner on the right. This was a timely offensive transfer.

Manchester City can now be said to have dual cores in the front and back courts!

Yaya Toure can organize in the midfield and Silva organizes and instigates a threatening offensive in the frontcourt. This configuration is owned by many giants once or now.

Milner made a 45-degree cross after advancing the attack from the right.

Football still hasn't passed Thiago Silva this time, he cleared the ball with a header!

"Thiago Silva has played the role of the back line after joining Liverpool this season! If it weren't for his presence, Liverpool might not have won many strong dialogue games so easily. He has made Liverpool's defense much better. Reassuring."

Liverpool did not have a decent attack until the 7th minute of the game.

After Gerrard's midfielder hit the wall with Kevin Dirk, he quickly passed the ball to the left.

Qin Xiong, who retreated to respond, held the ball on the spot. He did not immediately pursue the speed of attack, because he wanted to see what Manchester City's defensive strategy is today.

Yaya Toure and Barry will not firmly defend the wing. When Qin Xiong is in possession of the ball, only Milner will harass him.

When Milner stepped down to intercept, Qin Xiong suddenly started to dribble forward along the sidewalk.

In the process of his dribbling and advancing, Yaya Toure returned to the left side in front of the penalty area, as if waiting for Qin Xiong to change to a crosscut.

Obviously, Manchester City has become more cautious and rational after suffering too much from Qin Xiong.

He won't come up rashly to force him. Seizing the key position in the defensive area has become the primary defensive point.

Qin Xiong dribbled the ball and came in front of Richards. Before Richards could react, Qin Xiong dribbled and stopped and shifted the ball to the middle. Richards thought he would dribble sideways to challenge Yaya Toure, but Yaya Toure Yatoure probably thought so too.

The two took advantage of the situation to double-team, but they didn't expect Qin Xiong to pull the ball to the sideline, and at the same time his body completed a reverse turn, and then pulled the ball with another foot!

A Marseille roundabout appeared under the gaze of all spectators.

When Qin Xiong and Richards passed each other, their elegance was intoxicating.

The Red Army fans immediately applauded Qin Xiong.

But they didn't know what Qin Xiong was thinking when he passed Richards.

"Today, I'll blow you up!"

After completing the Marseille roundabout, Qin Xiong took the ball diagonally to the inside.

At this time, Yaya Toure quickly rushed to the penalty area to defend, and Suarez fell into a double-team in the penalty area.

Qin Xiong passed the ball obliquely back to the position beyond the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Gerrard, who rushed up from behind, was not sloppy, and he volleyed the ball with a murderous look and blasted it out!

The football went straight to the left half of the goal, and Joe Hart jumped to hit the ball out of the bottom line at the first time.

This is a world class save!

After the successful save, Hart stood up and clenched his fists and roared into the field!

It seems to be declaring that the goal he defends will never let Liverpool score today! (to be continued~^~)
