On the second day of Paris Saint-Germain's match against Real Madrid, the Champions League semi-final 'Premier League derby' between Manchester City and Liverpool also began.

The game was played at Liverpool's home turf, and in the first leg between the two sides, Manchester City were held to a draw at home by Liverpool.

Sergio Aguero and Roberto Firmino scored a goal each.

In this situation, the media is generally optimistic about Liverpool's promotion.

On the one hand, the next game is Liverpool's home stadium.

In the league, on the other hand, Manchester City are under a bit more pressure.

Manchester City are currently at the top of the Premier League and are favourites with a lot of pressure on both fronts.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is more relaxed, Klopp has given up the league and is fully preparing for the Champions League, and this time period is also extremely friendly to Liverpool, some time ago, Liverpool fell into a wave of injuries, close to the Champions League final, the return of the main force made Liverpool fans breathe a sigh of relief.

An all-out Liverpool leader feels that they have more impact than Manchester City.

However, ahead of the game, Kicker's reporter Medico expressed a different opinion.

He thinks it will be Manchester City who will qualify for the final.

The reason is simple.

Manchester City have Kevin De Bruyne in midfield.

In those games that Liverpool lost to Tottenham in the first two seasons, Liverpool's midfield was directly blown up!

Therefore, Medico believes that De Bruyne, who is now on the same level as Eile, will be able to accomplish this.

Even, Pep Guardiola can study Tottenham's tactics last season and give Liverpool some targeting.

After all, Liverpool's midfield lacks a playmaker, they have excellent front and back courts, but the midfielders are basically the role of doing dirty work, and they can't do fine work.

Therefore, if you want to beat Liverpool, you have to start from the midfield.

This argument has attracted a lot of discussion.

Some people think it's unrealistic, the current Liverpool is not the Liverpool of last season.

And Manchester City are not Tottenham, they can't play that mad dog tactic.

When it comes to mad dogs, Liverpool are closer to that term.

Dutch football, all offense and all defense!

Liverpool are indeed closer to Tottenham last season, and as long as they play with momentum, they are a wild horse that runs on a rampage.

Although Manchester City are the leaders of the Premier League, there is a general bullish outlook on the resurgent red dynasty.

Speaking before the game, Kevin De Bruyne said: "We're going to win the game, we're going to the Champions League final, it's a big game for the team and for me personally! ”

His expression was solemn and he said, "I know he's waiting for me there!" ”

There is no need to guess who that 'he' is.

Everyone knows it's Yile.

Without Yile's appearance, De Bruyne is estimated to be the top midfielder at this stage.

But in fact, De Bruyne was suppressed by Yile for two full years, and it was not until Yile left the Premier League that De Bruyne was able to regain his strength.

But even so, it has long been known that De Bruyne suffers from 'susceptibility'.

It can be said that Yile is De Bruyne's nightmare, he needs to overcome him, defeat him!

And the stage of the Champions League final is his chance to prove himself!

......

The ninety-minute game was over.

The whole of Anfield erupted like a volcano.

Manchester City fans covered their faces with their hands and watched the KOP stands celebrating wildly, the carnival of the Liverpudlians was built on their pain.

Manchester City loses!

The players looked pained.

De Bruyne looked up to the sky and sighed, his feet no longer able to support him to keep running, and his heart was full of bitterness.

He couldn't get in front of the man after all.

The tactical arrangement of this game is no different from what the outside world speculated.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City wanted to press through De Bruyne in midfield, but De Bruyne's style of play was not as aggressive as that of Yile and he never played as well as he wanted.

On the other hand, Liverpool played Manchester City without rhythm through full-court running and counter-robbing.

De Bruyne was lost and City's offensive was more than half contained.

The most shocking thing is Liverpool's backline,

In this game, Liverpool's defensive counterattack showed their cold minions, and the two full-backs Robertson and Alexander-Arnold were fully unleashed.

In particular, Alexander-Arnold, a 98-year-old youngster, shined all over the field, and his stable defensive and counter-attacking abilities were greatly recognized, especially his accurate crosses.

In this game, the most shouted by the fans was 'God, his cross is like easy!'" ’

This accolade is already very high in the Premier League, after all, Yi Le dominated the best player and assist charts for two seasons when he played for Tottenham.

And it's important to know that Alexander-Arnold is a right-back.

There were two goals in the game, both of which were assists from Trent Alexander-Arnold, which was a crazy performance.

After the game, many Liverpool fans turned over the pre-match analysis of "Kicker" reporter Medico, saying that Liverpool could not be targeted at all.

In this regard, Medico once again posted:

'City lost because their midfield wasn't dominant enough, Kevin De Bruyne wasn't in great form and his style of play didn't support aggressive tactics, so they didn't look like they were comfortable with the system.

"Of course, I admit Liverpool won beautifully, but congratulations, you will face Paris Saint-German and a much stronger super midfielder in your next game."

......

"PSG have a lot of attacking ability!" Klopp said solemnly: "They are probably the most attacking team we have faced so far!" ”

On his desk is stacked with thick pieces of paper, all of which are analytical data on Paris Saint-Germain.

It includes the study of Paris's attacking patterns, as well as match analysis, etc.

I have to admit that these two teams are very similar.

It's all about 'passion football'.

As long as you play morale, you can directly turn on the mad dog mode, chase and run wild.

The only difference is that Liverpool are more focused on the front and back.

Paris Saint-Germain pays more attention to the linkage of the midfield.

And, Klopp has to admit that he needs to work a little bit more on the midfield.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have played against Yile several times, but each time they lost because the midfield was blown up.

He clearly understands that he has to secure a midfielder.

If this Chinese is completely kicked away, it will be a nightmare for Liverpool!

But how to limit Yile has been a key question in European football until now.

They can only rely on some lower movements to influence Yile as much as possible, rather than relying on tactics and players to fight bayonets.

Klopp is well aware of the cost of fighting bayonets.

But the situation at this time told him that he could only fight with Paris with bayonets, otherwise, Liverpool's attack would not be able to fight.

He's not a shy guy.

Now that you're here, you can only give it a go!
