Green Ace Marshal

The fans of Etihad Stadium, Liverpool and Manchester City are all looking forward to the team's good form and performance in this strong dialogue at the beginning of the season.

After the start of the game, Manchester City's attack was a bit sloppy, and it seemed that they didn't want to complicate the attack. In the warm-up match, Sterling was restrained repeatedly and may have learned a lesson. Today he played decisively.

In the second minute of the game, Nasri took a shot from 25 yards to the left of the frontcourt. The football played a little positively, which did not test Ter Stegen.

Situ Yunbing deliberately paid attention to the position of Manchester City's backcourt defense line. As expected, Pellegrini will stabilize the defense line at home today. The double defensive midfielders of Yaya Toure and Fernando are closely aligned with the four-back formation!

If Pellegrini is to follow Situ Yunbing's offensive methods, simple offense combined with tough defense to deal with Liverpool, Situ Yunbing will definitely look at the opponent differently.

But looking at it now, Pellegrini is just letting Manchester City stay at the more traditional defensive counterattack level.

This is also threatening, because this is Manchester City’s home stadium, and Manchester City is strong enough. When the team has a strong enough foundation, as long as the team can become low-key, the general results will not be too bad, but can it create brilliant , Then it's another matter.

Because some teams are incompatible with the utilitarian style of play due to their configuration, this will cause the team to hold the lower limit, but it also restricts the flexibility of the upper limit.

Liverpool don't have to look at the face of Manchester City, and they attack step by step in the way they are good at.

The center frontcourt quickly and smoothly passed and cooperated. In the 6th minute of the game, Eriksson faced Yaya Toure and Fernando in the frontcourt and chose to knock back the ball diagonally, and Casemiro followed up with a kick to the ground. Passing the ball to Gareth Bale's feet, the latter took the ball and swiped the ball to the bottom line lightly, and then quickly and flexibly bypassed Clichy, who was rushing to the top, and quickly went down.

Gareth Bale swept the ball across the penalty area with a pass in front of the baseline.

Demichelis is now a firefighter on the Manchester City defender line. It may be that Mangala has not gained enough trust from Pellegrini to allow Demichelis, an experienced veteran who is not stable, to play. .

Experience returns to experience, but after Gareth Bale broke through the defense in an instant to take advantage of offensive depth, Demichelis couldn't keep up with the speed of returning to the front of the defense. Lewandowski diagonally penetrated into the penalty area. The right rib also seized his route back to defense, leaving Demichelis completely helpless.

Lewandowski hit the ball with a foot pad and hit the ball to the near corner of the goal.

In the past two years, Joe Hart, who has been criticized by Fleet Street for its ups and downs, made a wonderful save this time, and fell to the ground with a single palm to block the ball out of the baseline!

Lewandowski hugged his head and sighed, then gave Gareth Bale a thumbs up!

Pellegrini looked dignified on the sidelines, Liverpool's strength has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Situ Yunbing's style of opening is well known!

Whether in Monaco, Hamburg or Liverpool in the past five seasons, Situ Yunbing has played very well at the beginning of the season!

Four of these seasons have created the best start in the history of the team's top league.

This shows that his preparations are very adequate!

But in fact it has a lot to do with opponents.

For example, some mid-lower teams were not vigilant at the beginning of the season, and the personnel changes were slightly large. They have not done a good job at this stage at the beginning of the season. As long as Situ Yunbing’s team remains stable, At the same time, with a correct attitude and full participation in the game, the difference in strength is bigger than it seems!

In fact, Manchester City's main lineup has not changed much in the past two years, which to a certain extent also ensures the continuation of the team's state.

But to say that he could compete with the team led by Situ Yunbing, it would be a bit overwhelming.

Just like Arsenal can lead Liverpool with three goals on the Community Shield, it is hard to say where Liverpool did not do well. It can only be said that Arsenal's squadman Sanchez has indeed caused trouble for Liverpool, but Liverpool can come back through adjustments in the second half. The biggest source of the shocking reversal is that they have a good enough state to achieve the effect of the coach's tactical adjustments.

Manchester City had a counterattack opportunity in the 11th minute of the game. Silva knocked the ball back to Yaya Touré in the center zone. The latter directly passed a long pass to find the frontcourt and quickly moved to make it empty as Sterling. well.

Sterling made a defensive gap from the right and quickly drove the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

This ball is about to be outflanked by Aguero in the center to complete the shot. At the critical moment, Van Dijk lifted his leg and cleared the ball first!

Pellegrini felt a little regretful!

Situ Yun didn't change his face. This is the tactical effect Manchester City wants.

Defensive counterattack!

But in Situ Yunbing's view, such a defensive counterattack appeared too late.

Any offense actually depends on the number of threats to accumulate, and then the success rate is increased.

Just like how did Situ Yunbing define the pass success rate in the internal meeting of the coaching team?

If the success rate of each player's pass is 80%, then if 7 players touch the ball from the start to the end of an attack, the last one completes the shot!

So what is the success rate?

26%!

In other words, only 5 of 20 similar attacks and 100 passes will be converted into shots!

This also excludes many invalid and meaningless passes.

So it’s not surprising that a team like Barcelona is very much in pursuit of passing success rate and possession rate. Pass more than 300 shots in a game, create 20-30 shots, and then score 2-4 goals. normal.

Of course, this is the most basic data interpretation for the ball-handling team. Behind the data are the requirements for team skills.

Switch to a defensive play, or a chance play team, or a team that relies on star play, the pass success rate can be interpreted in a more in-depth analysis.

Just like Manchester City, they don’t look at possession, the number of passes and the success rate, but if an average 10 minutes can create a threatening attack, one can imagine how low the offensive efficiency will be unless they can absolutely guarantee the defensive efficiency of the defense. A very high degree.

Just like the previous Italian team, the offense is not good, as long as the defense is okay, 1:0ism is also their way of success.

But Manchester City's defense today is not as solid as it seems, at least Liverpool can hit the goal in the penalty area under a strong attack, which is a very convincing phenomenon.

In the 15th minute of the game, when Liverpool besieged Manchester City for two consecutive long-range shots, Manchester City's backcourt clearance shots were all controlled by Liverpool's midfielder and then launched an offensive.

Azpilicueta’s right assist came up to catch Coutinho’s diagonal long pass. Clichy’s defensive attention was all on Gareth Bale. At this time, Gareth Bale moved forward and Kerry Hee and Demichelis immediately retreated to blockade, but Azpilicueta smashed the ball back and slammed the ball across the front of the penalty area.

Following up, Casemiro made a short pass in front of Yaya Toure and sent it to the center of the penalty area.

Lewandowski took the initiative to respond to the spike to complete the turn, and had a direct opportunity to shoot.

Because Demichelis stared closely at Gareth Bale, and Kompany immediately followed the defense but was also distanced by Lewandowski's turn.

Lewandowski made a decisive shot!

The football goes straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!

Joe Hart was unable to save this time and the football rushed into the lower left corner of the goal!

Lewandowski laughed and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal!

The Red Army fans in the stands of the Ittihad Stadium couldn't help waving their arms and cheering for Lewandowski!

"Lewandowski volleyed and scored! Casemiro's assist!

The Polish center really seamlessly connects with Liverpool. After Suarez left, people had discussions about whether Lewandowski could integrate into Liverpool. From now on, it only took less than three games, the community shield, The opening game of the Premier League, today's game, Lewandowski used his third league goal to prove one thing to everyone.

Suarez's gun, he took it!

Manchester City played too conservatively at home today. The fatal thing is that they did not have the courage to fight Liverpool in midfield, so that Liverpool can continuously launch offensives. Then their defense will take huge risks. Demichelis is in Although he was going to mark Gareth Bale in the defense this time, he still lost his position from the principle that area defense is better than man-to-man defense!

From a more tacit defensive system, Yaya Toure should retreat to the penalty area at this time, but he does not. We have not seen Yaya Toure really play a role as a defensive midfielder for a long time!

Manchester City in front of Liverpool seemed to have exposed some problems that we could not see before the game.

I hope Pellegrini can make adjustments in time!

Now they are only one goal behind, if they catch up, it is not without a chance! "

Lewandowski's goal made Situ Yunbing smile, and he applauded Lewandowski.

When Lewandowski was invited to join, Lewandowski said a word to Situ Yunbing.

"I haven't signed a contract with Bayern Munich for a long time, just want to see if there will be a better choice. Now that you show up, I know I don't have to think about Bayern Munich anymore!"

It can be said that in the past four years, Lewandowski is one of the few opponents who can frequently play against Situ Yunbing's coaching team.

Two years in Bundesliga plus last season's Champions League.

It can be said that Lewandowski has met with Situ Yunbing’s team in four seasons. This allowed Situ Yunbing to witness his growth from a more objective perspective, and also made Lewandowski a more objective view of his growth. Fascinated by Situ Yunbing.

Now, they have finally become mentors and apprentices, fighting together!

Situ Yunbing wanted his red dynasty, and Lewandowski wanted his peak glory. It was a hit!
