Liverpool has a good set of interceptions in the midfield and backfield, pressing relatively high, Wen Sheng thought that if Rodgers insisted on such a tactic, then it would be necessary to let Costa make a splash to see who could win.

The reporters then asked Kompany a few more questions about the game, and then the press conference ended, which took just over ten minutes.

After the press conference, the team was on holiday, the players had already left after the morning training, and Wensheng and Kompany hurried home after saying Merry Christmas to each other.

It stands to reason that the team stayed in a hotel before the game, but it's Christmas, who the is crazy to talk about this rule?!

Go back to your own house and find your own mother.

There was nothing to do all night, and when I got up early the next morning, I went to see the snow outside, and it seemed that it was snowing again.

It doesn't make a difference to the stadium, the Etihad Stadium has a geothermal system that doesn't have to worry about rain or snow, but Liverpool shouldn't be late.

Liverpool is so close to Manchester City, Liverpool will not arrive in Manchester City a day earlier, and even if it is to London, it is normal to go on the same day.

Liverpool were not late, Rodgers was prepared, departed from Liverpool in advance, and arrived at the scene as expected.

The Christmas holiday games were not particularly different from usual, the fans were overwhelming, there was no shortage of journalists, and there was no shortage of commentators from the various broadcasters in the stands.

After talking to the players, Wen Sheng planned to go to the coach's box to wait, and just went out of the door when he ran into Rodgers.

"Hey, Merry Christmas, Brandon!" Wen Sheng stretched out his big hand, a warm smile on his face.

Rogers was wearing thick tweed clothes and was also very burly, and he smiled when he saw Wen Sheng, and his two hands were clasped together.

"Hey, Merry Christmas, Daniel!"

"How is it today, there must be a lot of snow on the road!"

"yes, we should be here by train!" Rogers said.

Coming to Manchester City to take a plane is a local tyrant's behavior, taking a train and a bus is Liverpool's choice, Rodgers chose to take a bus, the highway has been closed, and Liverpool has to arrive in Manchester City by another road.

"But we can take the train when we go back!"

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, have I?!" Rogers laughed.

"Thank you! I'm so happy to finally be able to get out of the death group! But the results of our draw are not very good! ”

"Who did you meet?!"

"Brandon, Brandon, you really don't hear anything outside the window! We're playing against Milan! ”

"I'm sorry, I've been a little busy these two days!" Rodgers said embarrassedly, he really didn't pay attention, and he was busy with the team's affairs these days.

"Busy dealing with me!" Wen Sheng joked.

"Ha, you say yes! You also know that I have a lot of pressure on me, and José and Mr. Wenger are staring at me! Rogers joked too.

Rogers' assistant Phil. Thompson came out to find Rodgers, and the conversation between the two ended and they agreed to have a drink together after the game.

Wen Sheng walked out of the player's tunnel, causing cheers from the fans at the entrance of the passage, many fans shouted Wen Sheng's name and asked for autographs, the time was still early, Wen Sheng simply signed a few names for these enthusiastic fans. All right

When it's really time for the game, the fans generally don't do it, and when they disturb the head coach of the team, they still have a sense of proportion.

The Manchester City anthem was finally remembered on the radio, and Wen Sheng sat down in the coach's box, waiting for the game to start.

Soon Rogers also came out, Wen Sheng got up and shook Rogers' hand in front of the camera and separated.

......

The players have come out, and Brendan Rodgers on the away Liverpool side has given a 433 formation:

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Johnson, Sarco, Skrtel, Sissoko

Midfielders: Lucas, Joe. Allen, Henderson

Forwards: Suarez, Raheem Sterling, Sturridge

The captain of the team, Gerrard, is absent, and Liverpool's lineup is quite familiar to Wen Sheng, he knew a lot about Liverpool in his previous life, and Gerrard is his favorite star.

For Gerrard to not be able to play in this game, Wen Sheng said at the press conference that he regretted it, and felt that this was simply good, Gerrard is always old now, but the vision and long pass have not been lost, Liverpool's three strikers are very fast, and the cooperation is quite good.

Of course, even if Gerrard is absent, Liverpool is not easy to deal with, especially Suarez, Suarez has a lot of freedom, and everyone knows that this kid has a particularly strong ability to mess around in the penalty area, Manchester United's top defense has suffered a lot in the hands of Suarez, and Wensheng has scored a lot of goals in the past against Liverpool.

In short, this is a true all-rounder, but he is more of a shooter.

Manchester City's Wen Sheng reported 433:

Goalkeeper: Hart

Defender: Kyle. Walker, Van Dijk, Kompany, Hills

Midfielders: Wanyama, Kroos, De Bruyne

Forwards: Silva, Costa, Dzeko

In the goalkeeper position, Keylor Navas has returned to normal training, but for the sake of safety, Wensheng put him on the bench for this game.

The stadium's jack-of-all-trades Milner was also on the bench, with a slight injury, and it was also for the sake of safety, Wen Sheng deliberately did not let him play.

In the midfield, Wensheng made a small change, let De Bruyne go to the midfield, and let Silva go to the wing, this change will not have a big impact, in the past games Silva and De Bruyne positions are more frequent, it doesn't matter about this arrangement.

Today's arrangement is nothing more than hoping that De Bruyne can have more time in the middle, his confrontation ability is better than Silva, and Liverpool's midfielder Lucas, don't look at this kid is small, but he is a veritable giant, when he first arrived at Liverpool, he still belonged to the ranks of the melon, and now he is playing more and more European, and the defense is extremely fierce, as for Henderson, needless to say, the defense is also extremely tough.

Liverpool's midfield three are in the front triangle, with Jordan Henderson and Lucas in the back, Manchester City's triangle is in the inverted triangle, Wanyama is in the back alone, and De Bruyne and Kroos are in front.

Commentator in the stands, Sky Sports commentator Martin Brown. Taylor began today's commentary.

He shared an interesting statistic for the fans, and this statistic is about Suarez, the striker who scored the most goals in the team where Suarez scored.

"Brendan Rodgers' side have been in great form lately, so we don't know if this game will give Manchester City a strong block, so let's wait and see!"
