Chapter 182
5 minutes into the game, Liverpool broke through the right and left sides twice and attacked the Manchester City goal.
This also set the tone for Liverpool's crazy attack on Manchester City in the next ten minutes.
7th minute of the game.
Knight's dribbling breakthrough on the right side was broken by Steve Finnan and Mohamed Sissoko.
The football was not successfully divided.
Mohamed Sissoko kicked to complete the pass.
Xabi Alonso grabbed the ball.
After a few steps, he directly chose a long pass from the left.
He found Steven Gerrard accurately again!
Xabi Alonso, who is low-key and has almost no gossip off the court, always uses his exquisite long pass on the court to attract the attention of all fans.
Although he is not good at scoring goals, he is good at creating threatening long passes and is the metronome of Liverpool's backcourt.
After dribbling the ball, Steven Gerrard reenacted the scene of pulling Musampa.
Cross from the bottom!
The football flew to the Manchester City penalty area, then to the sideline, and flew out of the sideline.
"It was dangerous, Dunn stood up again!"
"A big kick to clear the ball!"
"Shown through slow motion replay."
"Crouch almost won the ball."
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun took a breath of cold air. Although the Liverpool players did not win the ball, Manchester City's goal seemed to have become precarious.
......
The 14th minute of the game.
In the center circle, Su Fei took the ball with his back and controlled the football under his feet.
Liverpool midfielders immediately staged a siege like a pack of wolves.
Facing the pincer attack that was about to form.
Su Fei found a gap on the left side, turned around and kicked the ball, and the football rolled along the grass and rolled straight to Musampa who was advancing on the left side!
But the next second.
Musampa, who had not yet held the ball, was tackled to the ground by Liverpool's left-back John Reese who suddenly appeared.
John Riise, from Norway, whose average height is 1.804 meters, is a 1.85-meter tall full-back.
Musampa lost the ball in this confrontation.
John Riise, who succeeded in counter-attacking, did not choose to carry the ball. Compared with fierce confrontation and tackling, he is not good at dribbling.
"Riise!"
"Pass the ball to Gerrard again!"
"Gerrard is here again!"
"Near the center line!"
"Gerrard cooperated with Cisse to complete a two-on-one!"
"The ball is given to Cisse!"
"Liverpool's top scorer so far this season!"
"Cisse is too fast!"
"He passed Reina who was trying to steal the ball!"
"This ball!"
"Adjust the angle..."
"Shoot directly!"
When the ball almost brushed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, there was a cry of surprise at the Etihad Stadium.
Cisse, a black man with striking white hair on the court, shook his head and sighed, but he quickly regained his spirits and ran back with his head held high.
Because he felt that Manchester City's defense line could not defend him at all, and he had a strong premonition of scoring in this game!
......
19th minute of the game.
Liverpool, who had almost been pressing Manchester City, once again made a cross from the side through Xabi Alonso.
The football was sent to the front court.
The one who got the ball was Djibril Cisse, who was as fast as lightning and was known as the fastest in the Premier League.
Djibril Cisse still accelerated with a clean dribble in the face of the double defensive midfielders Barton and Reina.
There was no extra movement.
He rushed between Barton and Reina with the ball.
The danger signal rose again!
Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium have lost count of how many times they have been nervous in this game.
They stared at Djibril Cisse with the ball!
He has come to the penalty area.
This position is already within his shooting range!
When Djibril Cisse raised his foot to shoot, all Manchester City fans held their breath.
But the next moment.
A scene that made everyone cheer and excited appeared...
To the right of Djibril Cisse, a blue figure rushed out, fell to the ground, stretched out his foot, and accurately shoveled the football.
Su Fei!
Under the impact of exaggerated acceleration, he knocked Djibril Cisse to the ground, and the football was directly shoveled out of the sideline.
"Su Fei!!"
"God-sent soldiers from heaven!"
"A long-distance run from Manchester City's front court to the back court to defend!"
"A key tackle!"
"Successfully blocked Cisse's shot!"
"A real god-sent soldier from heaven!"
In an instant, the Etihad Stadium sent screams and shouts for Su Fei's heroic defensive tackle!
Su Fei stood up with his hands on the ground, and looked down at Djibril Cisse's flaming eyes.
But this ball was indeedIt was a clean tackle, and Djibril Cisse couldn't hold back a fart for a long time.
He could only glare at Su Fei angrily and retreat to join the attack.
Huh!
Atkinson, the referee standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that there would be some vicious player conflict in today's game that the entire Premier League was paying attention to.
Atkinson coached Manchester City for the first time today.
His most profound impression of Su Fei was watching the game at home in August last year.
He witnessed the conflict between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns Stadium on TV.
So.
In his subconscious, Su Fei was the kind of player who was not easy to mess with and might fight at any time.
...............................
Benitez regretted on the sidelines, while Stewart was anxious on the other side.
The game had been started for 20 minutes, and although Manchester City did not lose the ball, the situation was ugly.
The initiative was firmly in the hands of Liverpool.
The team's several attacks were cut off in the midfield. Musampa, who promised himself before the game that he would play hard today, became a breakthrough on the wing.
On the defensive end, Gerrard kicked out a gap in the match, and on the offensive end, he couldn't get through... Thinking of this.
Stewart turned his head and looked at the Croatian teenager on the bench, and his eyes happened to meet Modric's.
The teenager was silent, but his eyes seemed to speak, revealing his desire to play.
Alas.
Let's take a look again.
Stewart turned his head and continued to look at the court. Modric's team training match did perform well.
But in such an important game, letting a young player who has never played in the four major leagues play.
It takes consideration and courage.
Moreover, on the defensive end, Stewart subconsciously thought that Modric might be more difficult to withstand Gerrard's breakthrough than Musampa.
Modric saw Stewart's deliberately avoiding eyes.
He lowered his eyes somewhat disappointedly.
But he quickly adjusted his mood and continued to observe Liverpool's offensive and defensive tactics.
With the blessing of the future Golden Ball brain.
Modric quickly analyzed how he should promote Manchester City's offense and defense if he was on the court at this time.
"The breakthrough of the No. 8 mainly depends on speed, but the dribbling is very straightforward..."
"Their left back is a bit clumsy..."
"This ball..."
"Unfortunately, if it is a cross from the side, it will be an opportunity!"
"Pass it, pass it to Su... Missed it again..."
Andy Cole, who was sitting next to Modric, didn't feel anything about the Croatian teenager's mumbling at first.
But as the game progressed.
His eyes looking at Modric were full of shock and admiration.
As a striker who contributed to Manchester United's three consecutive championships in his peak period, Cole may be old now and can't run anymore.
So in recent games, he has been replaced by Vassell in the starting position.
But his court awareness of more than ten years of professional career is still there.
This kid... is really something!
As Manchester City's attack was blocked again on the field, Stewart was furious.
Cole suddenly stood up and walked to Stewart.
"Boss, I think you can send Luca to try..."
