Green Ace Marshal

Under the tremendous pressure of the record, Ferguson finally put aside his face first. Rooney, who had not started for more than a month, returned to the starting lineup and became the team's hero in the 24th round of the league defeating Southampton!

Ferguson smiled openly, and the reporters who favored Manchester United also looked forward to Manchester United's ability to lead Manchester United to reverse Liverpool after Ferguson and Rooney restored the old.

In the third place in the league, Manchester City lost the chain on the road. They were tied by the Queens Park Rangers. The two teams drew a goalless draw. Manchester City almost withdrew from the championship group!

At the end of 24 league rounds, Liverpool's advantage over Manchester United was reduced to 10 points.

Liverpool, 63 points.

Manchester United, 53 points.

Manchester City, 51 points.

......

Liverpool continue to experience a cruel schedule. After the Christmas Devil schedule, they have already been a guest to challenge Manchester United and Arsenal in the second half of the league. Next, they will go to Manchester again, the difference is that this time they will go to Iraq. Tihad Stadium challenges defending champion Manchester City!

After the match in the first half of the league, Mancini could no longer hold his head in front of Situ Yunbing. Now he is 12 points behind Liverpool, almost declaring that there is no hope for the championship, and it is even more impossible to arrogantly stand in front of Situ Yunbing.

Even Situ Yunbing smiled relaxedly when facing the reporter's suspicion in the press conference before the game: "Let Mancini be quiet alone, let's not disturb him."

Situ Yunbing was merciful to Mancini, and he was indeed saving his character. In the first half of the league, Liverpool had a new look. Whether it was a rebirth or a mirror image, no one can pack a ticket, but Manchester City is real. The real defending champion.

Mancini has the capital and confidence to show off against Situ Yunbing, and even provocatively suppress.

But when it came to the second half of the season, Liverpool ranked higher than Manchester City. Under the background of huge points lead, if Situ Yunbing was aggressive against Mancini, it would be too unmanned.

Situ Yunbing led a team to visit the Etihad Stadium. When he saw Mancini on the sidelines, the opponent looked away with disgust. Situ Yunbing knew that the opponent did not appreciate it.

It didn't matter, Situ Yunbing didn't plan to make friends with anyone here anyway.

When the starting players of the two teams walked into the stadium, the Liverpool players obviously looked very energetic and vigorous!

After the last match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Liverpool's morale went up to a higher level. After the game, captain Gerrard played a very significant role.

On the other hand, the Manchester City generals seem to have a huge psychological burden. Maybe they themselves are doubting whether they can complete the defending this season.

"Good afternoon, everyone, everyone, and welcome everyone to follow the camera to Manchester Etihad Stadium. This is a crucial battle for defending champion Manchester City to play at home against the current leader Liverpool!

The expected second-half contest between Mancini VS Situ Yunbing did not happen. Mancini stopped talking about the Liverpool coach before the game, while Situ Yunbing took the initiative to ask the media to give Mancini some respect.

It seems that the coaches of the two teams have lost the smell of gunpowder. It's just that when they enter the field today, there is no war, but it does not mean that they can live together in peace.

Well, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Manchester City started 442.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Sabaletta, Nastasic, Lescott, Clichy.

Midfielder: Milner, Garcia, Barry, Silva.

Forwards: Dzeko, Aguero.

Liverpool started 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Scotter, Benatia, Robertson.

Midfielder: Eriksson, Gerrard, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mahrez, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

The starting lineups of the two teams have been introduced for everyone. Next, let us see if Manchester City has the opportunity to shorten the gap with the leaders after today's confrontation, or whether they will help Manchester United a big favor, ha ha. "

Liverpool's starting today may be more surprising to the left back.

Situ Yunbing has made up his mind to replace Enrique with Robertson.

Even if it pays some record price, tactical sacrifice!

Enrique was already at his peak when he came to Liverpool. Regrettably, during the time he played for Liverpool, whether it was his own state maintenance or injury factors, including Liverpool’s own turmoil, Enrique started. Go downhill.

Even if Situ Yunbing used him well, it would be difficult for Enrique to return to the peak and make further breakthroughs, which is unrealistic.

And Enrique does not have the role of Gerrard's spiritual leader and the status of the team's flag.

Therefore, he lowered his position in the team and included Robertson in the scope of key cultivation. At least give Robertson a half-season observation period, so that Situ Yunbing can be prepared before the summer transfer market opens. Does he need to be on the left? New personnel addition on the guard!

The big news from Manchester City is that Balotelli, who God doesn’t understand, was sent away at the winter transfer window.

Other than that, there are no surprising changes.

Kompany was injured and unable to play for the team. The young Nastasic became an object worth watching at the back to see if he could withstand Liverpool's fierce offensive.

Mancini sat motionless on the coach's bench, while Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines as always with his hands in his pockets to supervise the battle.

With the referee's whistle, the two teams started the battle amid the deafening cheers of the Etihad Stadium!

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City rushed to the right, trying to open the gap from Robertson's defense to create a threat.

This is obviously not Mancini's instruction, but the offensive commander Silva's instigation.

How Manchester City's attack chooses the direction, to a large extent, depends on the live play of Silva, the Spanish brain!

Perhaps when they saw Robertson, Silva and his teammates had already regarded him as a Chinese meal and were ready to feast on him.

Robertson bravely stepped forward to defend against Milner's dribbling impact, but unfortunately he was obviously not Milner's opponent!

This forces Casemiro to focus on filling his defense area when returning to defense, and Eriksson will be more delayed when defending.

This is Liverpool's tactical sacrifice after the selection of personnel.

Milner is a typical full-back role produced on the England youth training assembly line. He lacks the skills in the internal cut, has good confrontation, and has first-rate physical ability. The bottom pass can definitely be completed well.

Benatia cleared Milner's cross from the penalty area to the sideline.

Manchester City intensified after tasting the sweetness of the attack on the right, even full-back Sabaletta assisted up!

After receiving the football thrown by Milner, Sabaletta also chose to pass the ball after dribbling forward two steps.

It doesn't seem to be too new.

But at least the style of play is correct. Otherwise, why would you go to Zheke?

Regrettably, Dzeko did not hit the point in these two crosses, and Scott easily headered the ball out.

Gerrard controlled the ball in the backcourt and immediately passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the frontcourt to find Gareth Bale.

Gareth Bale started from the wing of the center line, and the hurricane rush to make Manchester City fans in the stands frightened!

Manchester City's defense line is adjusted quickly. There are few full-backs and the midfielder will come to make up the defense. After all, it will take time for Gerrard to assist!

Gareth Bale was forced by Garcia on the left side of the frontcourt. His smash changed to barely wiped Garcia, but it was not clean. Seeing that Barry also rushed for a second interception, Gareth Bale Can only quickly pass the ball short.

After all, Manchester City is the defending champion. After continuous battles, the state is almost adjusted. Regardless of whether the main lineup of the team is neat or not, at least the game state and awareness of each player is still online.

Suarez, who took the initiative to respond to Nastasic, was slightly sloppy. It seems that he has not experienced a deep education and has a slight lack of understanding of the opponent's strength.

After Suarez touched the ball, he knocked the ball and turned to complete the turn. Nastasic's ups and downs fell through and Suarez also lost!

Nastasic disarmed and surrendered without even having to face him!

Suarez saw Lescott moved to his front defense and calmly sent a diagonal kick to send the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Today, Mahrez, who replaced Sterling's starter, quickly cut in and shot!

The football went straight to the corner of the goal, and Joe Hart made a brave save and lifted the ball above the crossbar with a single palm!

The Etihad Stadium echoed with exclamations from Manchester City fans!

Liverpool fans applauded Mahrez.

Only three days have passed since the last game against Arsenal. Today’s game is also a test of the physical fitness of Liverpool personnel, so it is logical that Sterling sits on the bench, not Situ Yunbing’s happy football against him. With fear, there is indeed a need for reasonable use of players.

Situ Yunbing also applauded Mahrez's shot, more for Liverpool's teamwork in this attack.

Joe Hart was also very good. Although the native England goddess often became the background emperor of the world, it actually reflected the insufficient sweeping of Manchester City’s defense line in front of the penalty area. As far as the basic skills of saving ability, Joe Hart certainly Still outstanding among the local goalkeepers, otherwise how could it be the main goalkeeper of the defending Premier League champions?

This attack on Liverpool is more of a warning to Manchester City!

If you want to continue to make a fuss about Robertson, then you have to be careful of the threat that Gareth Bale can bring from the same side!

Did Manchester City receive a warning?

Maybe not!

They have a tendon, and they are determined to hit the right, as if they know that Robertson is still a child, but they just don't want to let him go!

This might be cruel to Robertson, but Situ Yunbing was also carefully observing his performance.

He doesn't expect Robertson to perform amazingly under heavy pressure. He only needs to see that Robertson is in a state of confusion, his confidence has not been destroyed, and he has not changed at a loss, then that's enough!

To deal with the big scene, the first thing is the heart, not the technology!
