Chapter 683 Defending Champion Daydream

Before the 70th minute, Guardiola was in the first place because Salah retired from injury early.

After Salah was racing against Fernando, he stopped and rubbed his knees, then signaled to the court, and Uncle Zha replaced him with Wijnaldum.

Among the Liverpool trident, Salah is the greatest threat because he is the fastest, has the sharpest breakthrough skills, and has the best shooting skills. Mane is the best at stirring things up, and Firmino is the most daring to risk his life.

Salah left the field, greatly reducing the pressure on Manchester City's defense, especially Laporte who secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although Doom is also a very good player, he is a midfielder after all, and he focuses on defense. His replacement of Salah means that Liverpool has made fine adjustments in tactics.

Guardiola cannot remain contented unless he intends to give up the Champions League. Two for two, Jesus and the B seat came on, replacing Sane and Gundogan.

As the winners carefully arranged by Lao Gua today, Sane and Gundogan were both disappointing. Sane was completely unable to handle the wings, and Gundogan was unable to stand firmly in the middle.

In fact, Lao Gua wanted to replace Sterling, but he suddenly remembered that once this guy returned to Anfield to face Liverpool, he would play like shit, so he pushed him back to the bench.

After changing the players, Manchester City also changed the formation, using the 3-4-3 of the diamond midfield and asked Liverpool for guidance. Already three goals behind, what else is needed for a bicycle? Ding Ding returned to the attacking midfielder, closing the distance with Zhuo Yang.

Liverpool also changed their formation, nominally 4-3-1-2, the three midfielders Detu + Henderson + Doom were as hard as three refractory bricks.

In the first corner kick, Zhuo Yang went one-on-one with Henderson and Van Dijk and the ball missed the crossbar.

After the first breakthrough, he rushed to shoot, but was blocked by Van Dijk and Detu. He failed to gain strength and was confiscated by Karius.

In the 75th minute, Zhuo Yang used his ability to outflank and received Ding Ding's pass in the penalty area and hit the goal. However, he still failed to avoid the blocks of Van Dyke and Doom and missed the ball.

In ten minutes, each of the three strong defensive midfielders gave Zhuoyang a brick. The one who remained unchanged was Van Dyke, who kept the brick in his hands all night.

Are all other Manchester City players dead? of course not.

In the 77th minute, Zhuoyang took the ball from the left and cut inside, constantly making false claims and true falsehoods all the way. He stepped on the penalty area line, making it difficult for Van Dyke and Henderson to make a move, so they could only guard against him.

After passing the middle, Zhuo Yang suddenly knocked his heel back. The movement was so secret that Van Dyke and Henderson didn't notice it at all, and they still followed him stupidly.

Jesus stepped in from behind, caught the ball and hit it with one step. The football was tapped by Karius and then hit the goal post and popped out. This is Manchester City's most threatening attack so far.

Manchester City's offensive was getting stronger, and this threatening shot also made Uncle Zha worried.

It is not entirely the defender's responsibility to let Jesus go. This kid plays very smart. When Zhuoyang got the ball, he retreated to the midfield and then moved forward furtively. The person who missed him was Firmino.

As the most diligent one among the wolves, Firmino has reached a physical bottleneck at this time, otherwise he would not be able to tolerate the rampage of national team competitor Jesus.

Uncle Zha is a decisive middle-aged man. Seeing this situation,

Firmino was replaced with 20-year-old striker Dominic Solanke.

Solanke is a Nigerian born in the UK and comes from Chelsea's youth training. In the summer of 2015, he was loaned to the Eredivisie club Vitesse. That season, fellow center Zhang Yuning was his substitute.

But there is still no place for him in Chelsea. Uncle Zha missed him last summer and Solanke came to Liverpool on a free transfer. He only gave Chelsea a little youth training compensation, which looked like two to three million.

80 minutes have passed and Manchester City is still trailing 0:3. This score remained until the end. No matter how stubborn the Manchester City people were, it also meant that this season's Champions League journey was effectively terminated.

Getting away goals is the only way to keep hope alive. There are only ten minutes left for Zhuoyang and Manchester City.

.

Liverpool, like Manchester City, are both strong in the midfield and frontcourt, and the defense has just changed from just okay to quite okay. The difference lies in the addition of Van Dijk and Ederson.

But the equally powerful midfield and frontcourt have different focuses. Manchester City naturally revolves around Zhuoyang's striker, but Liverpool's foundation is the midfield led by Detu and Henderson.

Among the two, Henderson has to work harder because he is younger.

In the 84th minute, Zhuoyang broke through toward the ribs and saw Van Dyke change direction and throw away Van Dyke. Henderson had no choice but to grab the jersey from behind and knock him down. Referee Bruchy showed him a yellow card.

Although Liverpool played fiercely and tough throughout the game, they were not dirty. This was their first yellow card today. On the contrary, Manchester City received four as they could not afford to lose.

However, because this is the third yellow yellow that Henderson has received in the Champions League this season, he will miss the next round of the game with Manchester City. Henderson and De Tu are a perfect pairing of strong men, and his absence will also cause Tu Ye to suffer a discount.

But can Manchester City worry about this now? Now you should be thinking about how to make the second round still meaningful.

In the 87th minute, Zhuoyang once again dribbled the ball forward. After getting rid of Tu Ye quickly, he was flanked by Henderson, Doom and Van Dijk and charged forward with difficulty.

Arriving at the right rib outside the penalty area, Jesus and Seat B passed behind the team and both ran out of space.

Who hasn’t improved their memory?

Surrounded by three people, Zhuoyang had no chance to hit the goal by himself. While Heng Dufan was wary of him, he also looked at the trouble under his feet.

Sure enough, Zhuoyang raised his right leg again and used his heel to knock the ball.

Who do you look down on?

The three of them braked together, no doubt trying to kill this heel pass.

Then, they were stupid.

Zhuoyang's heels are fake. The right foot just swayed forward for a moment, bouncing back and forth like a spring. The heel went back into the air. It was serious work to bounce back and step forward again.

In this way, Zhuoyang, who was originally surrounded, was suddenly abandoned by the encirclement. After rushing into the penalty area alone, he slapped Karius's near corner. 3:1, finally found an away goal, it was not easy.

Returning to 2:0 at home is not an unattainable goal, and there is still hope for the Champions League journey. Zhuoyang lifted up the hem of his jersey and wiped the sweat from his face vigorously, planning to have a good meal and a good night's sleep after the game.

And 3:1 is also acceptable to Liverpool. Uncle Zha did not feel as upset as his dead father, but decisively replaced Chamberlain with Moreno to play in the defensive midfield. There were four Liverpool midfielders on the scene.

Guardiola also planned to play the last card. He asked Danilo to stand on the sidelines and prepare to replace Walker.

Walker also performed poorly today, as if he hadn't woken up. Perhaps he saw the sign on the sidelines that said No. 3 was replaced by No. 2, so he became even more absent-minded and passed the ball back directly to Solanke.

Zhuoyang was stunned, and his Manchester City teammates were stunned.

Kompany was pulling away, and Laporte stepped up to block it. But the young player was very smart. He pushed the ball to the top of the key and swung the ball in the opposite direction. Tu Ye roared into the penalty area.

A nuclear bomb-like explosion attack was simply not something Edson could stop. Competition No. 1.

That’s it, Manchester City’s dream of defending the championship is bullshit.
