Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Jurgen Klopp's substitutions were a hint of a sneaky move, and the slightest attempt at football showed that Pep Guardiola had no choice but to do so, as his side were now two goals down and had to step up their attack or accept a defeat.

Obviously, Guardiola is not the kind of coward who stands and waits for death, he stands up to the sky, and he has to lose well!

After Sterling was replaced, Sane and Bernardo Silva were left and right, Gundogan and De Bruyne were responsible for organizing the attack in the middle, Fernandinho's role was more reflected in the transition from attack to defense, Guardiola believes that Gundogan and De Bruyne, who are good at inserting in the back, are difficult to organize the attacking task in the middle, and must send David Silva to organize in tandem behind him to assist Gundogan and De Bruyne.

So...... Who to replace is an urgent issue for Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff.

After a short period of discussion, it was finally decided to replace Fernandinho.

If you want to equalize, you really have to think about defense, the problem is that there is less and less time left, and too much worry about defense is not conducive to scoring goals, so Guardiola immediately chose to withdraw Fernandinho, who is not very useful for attack.

Li Qing is indeed the most threatening player in Liverpool's attack, with Salah and Mane gone, Liverpool's forward line is only Firmino, too many defensive players become unnecessary, so Guardiola is ready to hand over Li Qing's defensive responsibility to Otamendi.

Although Otamendi often fouls defensively, there is nothing to say about the defensive toughness.

In the 82nd minute, there was a dead ball on the field, and the referee Oliver blew the whistle to ask for a substitution on the sidelines.

The on-site director switched cameras, and the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5 He Wei exclaimed: "Guardiola is really going to fight at the last moment of the game! David Silva replaces Fernandinho!"

Fernandinho was a little surprised to see his side replace him, but he didn't have to say anything about his execution, and immediately ran to the sidelines to save time for his side.

David Silva came off the bench and City changed to 352, with Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva each holding on to one side, Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne taking turns coming in, David Silva threading the needle behind them, and Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero waiting in the box.

Pep Guardiola's substitutions did not have an immediate effect, but the threat level was greatly increased, and the Liverpool penalty area suddenly became noisy, and the danger in front of the goal was full of danger, so that the long-lost exclamation rang out over Anfield: "wowowoowooooo-"

Jurgen Klopp frowned, holding his breath as he looked at his own penalty area, worried, apparently worried that City would score the closing goal in the closing stages of the game.

David Silva is clearly more playmaking than Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne, and City's attack has become much more three-dimensional under his link, so as to achieve a real pair of wings.

Sane sent in a pinpoint low cross from the left, Gabriel Jesus flicked a shot in front of the post, and Aguero, who was ambushed at the back post, flashed in front of Lovren to complete a scramble, and the ball rolled quickly into the bottom right corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Karius didn't even have time to react.

"Bang-"

The ball hit the right-hand post of the goal with a crisp muffled sound, and Van Dijk was quick to kick the bouncing ball off the line.

“wowoowowoooooo——"

The Anfield stadium resounded with the heart-wrenching exclamations of the Liberian fans.

Manchester City fans in the away stands, pulling their hands by their hair, stunned, a little in disbelief.

'Home post saves the profit'

Juli TV speaker Zhan Jun blurted out.

Aguero, who was lying in Liverpool's small penalty area, angrily hammered the grass to vent his strong frustration at not scoring a goal.

Pep Guardiola in front of the visiting team's dugout reacted almost the same, half-kneeling, clenched right fist and continuously hammered the ground to vent his dissatisfaction.

If this goal is scored, then ...... The equaliser is definitely a joke!

It's even possible to overtake!

Klopp reached out and wiped a handful of sweat oozing from his forehead, and let out a long exhale.

Thankfully, fortunately.

David Silva whipped in a corner from the right, and Van Dijk, who was extremely accurate in his judgment of the spot, pushed the ball out of the box ahead of John Stones and Gabriel Jesus.

Emre Can was in position, Bernardo Silva was a little impatient and kicked Emre Can from behind, and referee Oliver blew the whistle and gave Liverpool a free-kick at the back.

Pep Guardiola regained his passion, constantly waving his arms and stirring up emotions among the players on the pitch, apparently hoping that the players would remain passionate and hopeful for the game.

Time was running out and the City players did not return to their own half, but stayed in the Liverpool half and pressed high.

Karius, who wanted to play a short pass, had to signal his players to press forward, and then he took a short free-kick to avoid a fatal loss at the back.

The Manchester City players saw that Liverpool was going to start long, so they had to retreat.

Karius whipped in a free-kick from the back of the pitch and the ball flew towards the middle circle of the Manchester City half, where Stones pushed Firmino to the left of the half-circle for Liverpool.

De Bruyne, Gundogan, Emre Can and Li Qing ran to the landing point respectively, Gundogan has a wider vision, he took the initiative to seek physical confrontation with Emre Can, but on the contrary, Li Qing, who has the advantage of explosiveness, benefited from it, he grabbed De Bruyne to receive the ball before reaching out and poked the ball to Henderson, and then quickly turned around.

Henderson gave the ball back directly without stopping the ball, the football was close to the ground and rolled towards the route that Li Qing turned to forward, David Silva saw the incoming ball, subconsciously stretched out his foot to clear the siege, Li Qing stepped forward with his right foot, and blocked David Silva with his thick right leg.

Li Qing was blocked forward, and his feet stumbled, and David Silva hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence.

Referee Oliver saw that Li Qing did not fall to the ground, so he tied with both arms and made a gesture that was conducive to the continuation of the game.

Otamendi rushed forward without even saying hello, thinking about letting Li Qing stay where he was.

It was too late, but Li Qing, who was stumbling under his feet, suddenly pushed the ball forward with the arch of his left foot, and the football rolled quickly to the ground from about 45 meters away from the baseline from the left rib of the attack, and quickly rolled to the air behind Otamendi.

"Oops!"

Otamendi, who had stepped up, was shocked and his eyes had already noticed Firmino cutting forward at high speed.

Firmino and Li Qing's pass direction were exactly the same, and he was very clever in using his body to jam the position during the run, so as not to give Stones a chance to break the ball.

And Stones didn't dare to foul because he was yellow carded.

The atmosphere at Anfield suddenly became frenetic, and Firmino ran towards the penalty area, grabbed Stones with his body, and raised his right foot to shoot at the weak side of the international team-mate Ederson's defence.

Kyle Walker, who was returning to the ground at high speed, fell to the ground but was half a beat slow, the football flew to the right side of the goal, goalkeeper Ederson reacted half a beat slowly, and the ball grazed the right post and crossed the goal line and crashed into the snow-white net......

"Li Qing assists Firmino to kill the game!4:1!!"

At the same time, Juli TV speaker Zhan Junlang said. _
