Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Kevin De Bruyne equalised for City from a direct free-kick, and the frenzy at the Etihad Stadium was instantly ignited, with one wave of chanting after another.

The Liverpool manager Klopp, who was given to the broadcast screen, shook his head and sighed lightly, the team was too passive in the minutes before conceding the goal, and he couldn't even touch the football, even if he had the opportunity to counterattack, he would be destroyed by the Manchester City players in the first time.

Li Qing's skills at his feet are indeed excellent, but his feet are difficult to resist the opponent's three-man defense, and even if he can barely maintain control of the football, the best counterattack opportunity is lost.

Sometimes Manchester City players are very decisive in fouling, as long as they find that the timing is wrong, referee Michael Oliver gives the home team more face, and the tactical foul in the midfield and backfield gives a verbal warning at most.

The continuous pressure came and finally caused the goal to be conceded.

Li Qing didn't have many mood swings, as if he had nothing to do with him, as if losing the ball had nothing to do with him.

In fact, Li Qing has long seen through it, as a striker who scores goals, he only cares about scoring goals, and how many goals are conceded defensively, he will score one more goal than the number of goals conceded by defense.

That...... Isn't it also a win?

In addition, Manchester City did play very well, although this was Pep Guardiola's first season in charge of Manchester City, but the player executed his Tiki-Taka tactics very well, and the game was completely like a monkey in a training match, and the players who grabbed the ball couldn't touch the ball at all.

The game was only more than 30 minutes, and there were still more than 50 minutes before the end of the game, so I didn't panic at all!

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Michael Oliver, the game was announced to be restarted.

Liverpool, who had the advantage of kick-off, tried to open up the situation quickly, and the football passed through a few kicks, and it naturally came to Li Qing's feet.

Klich, Yaya Toure and Sane all appeared two meters in front of Li Qing, and they surrounded but did not grab, blocking Li Qing's breakthrough space.

Seeing this, Li Qing had no choice but to hand the ball horizontally to Emre Can, who attacked on the right rib, who in turn handed it to Coutinho.

Liverpool's attack on the right was in a slump, and Coutinho, who controlled the direction of the game, consciously assisted Sadio Mane and Milner on the left.

The results were more pronounced, but the level of immediate threat was not as high as that of the right side.

Li Qing was able to hit the Manchester City defence every time, but Mane, Milner and Coutinho could not on the left.

Jurgen Klopp couldn't understand why there were more attacks on the left but not as much as on the right, which was significantly less threatening.

The attack from the left ended in a cross from Milner and Roberto Firmino in the middle of the box failed to win against Stones, and City switched from defending to attacking.

Liverpool are also good at pressing high, getting close to the Manchester City players with the ball at the first time, delaying the speed of Manchester City's counter-attack.

When the Manchester City players with the ball had an easy chance to get the ball, the Liverpool players also returned to their own half, set up a defensive formation and waited for Manchester City to attack.

The long period of fast-paced attacking brought a sharp drop to the players of both sides, and the tempo of the attack continued to decline in order to ensure that they could play the whole game.

Until the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed that the score of 1 had not changed.

Sitting in front of the TV, Manchester City practice Antonio Conte, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho all nodded their heads in satisfaction, and Manchester City's home draw with Liverpool was a good result.

It's just that it's only halfway through the game, and the score they want to see may not be the real ending.

Guardiola and Klopp, who appeared on the broadcast screen one after another, had more normal expressions, but with a little more solemnity.

A draw is one of the best outcomes for the other four teams in the top six, but for Manchester City and Liverpool, a draw is the last option.

The fifteen-minute half-time break is not long, but it is not short, and when the players from both sides enter the pitch, the fans sitting in front of the TV can see that the mental outlook of the players of both teams has changed a lot.

If you can describe it in two words, it is...... Assertive.

When the broadcast picture could be given to Li Qing, he was high-fived his teammates on the field.

That confident smile affected every teammate, and even the Liverpool fans watching the game in front of the TV were in high spirits and full of confidence for the next game.

The first half was kicked off by Manchester City, and the second half was naturally kicked off by the visiting team Liverpool, who apparently did an anatomical study of the game that Manchester United lost to Liverpool at home a week ago, and defended with all its might at the beginning, not giving Li Qing a chance at all.

Li Qing's skills are indeed excellent, he has passed one, two, three, but it is difficult to think about the fourth.

It's not that he's not skilled, it's that the City players will choose to foul.

Liverpool's attack was fierce at the start of the second half, with Li Qing, who was excellent on the dribble, causing fouls on Manchester City players one after another, and Michael Oliver, who had a softer whistle in the first half, suddenly tightened up in the second half, and Klich and Yaya Toure received yellow cards in succession.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola walked to the sidelines, pacing back and forth, figuring out how to turn around the disadvantage of the second half.

Yaya Toure and Klich received yellow cards one after another, which will definitely have an impact on their next defensive actions, Li Qing has strong breakthrough ability and fast speed, as if he saw Messi during his tenure in Barcelona, and the conventional defense can't prevent it at all.

There is a high chance that a second yellow card will result in a foul that results in a non-combat loss.

How can you beat the menacing Liverpool with one less player?

As a result, Pep Guardiola is ready to make changes to the lineup.

Kolarov, Sania and Fernando all ran to the warm-up area to warm up, and Li Qing's smart eyes, who were constantly looking for opportunities through running, rolled slightly.

City's changes must have been made to the left, with Klich and Yaya Toure both receiving yellow cards, which means that the period before the adjustment is completed is a golden opportunity!

Li Qing, who received the ball, faced the defense of the two people, did not break through, and directly made a long pass with his left foot.

As Guardiola emphasised before and at halftime, even if Li Qing's long pass was very accurate, it did not pose an actual threat.

This happened three times in a row in five minutes, and when Li Qing raised his foot to prepare for the fourth long pass, the Manchester City players already had habitual thinking.

The corners of Li Qing's mouth rose slightly, and the Manchester City defender consciously leaned towards the right side of the defense, and at this moment, the inside of his left foot slammed the ball to the right front.

Sane couldn't react in time, and was rushed straight by Li Qing.

Yaya Toure made up for it, Li Qing first made an illusion of accelerating, and then stopped sharply on the spot, flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left instep, and went inside!

Klich hurriedly retracted and assisted De Bruyne in defending Li Qing, but Yaya Toure was attracted by Klein's forward insertion and did not follow.

“aooaoaoaooo——"

Li Qing suddenly increased his speed, and the Manchester City players suddenly lost their proportions.

Standing in front of the home team's coach's box, Guardiola raised his eyebrows, and felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. _
