885 is too simple

Gao Bo didn't know what was going on in the locker room.

It's not that he can't accept losing.

In fact, as soon as City's starting line-up was lined up, it was clear that this game was not a must-win for Manchester City.

City have played four games in thirteen days since April.

If you count the league match with Arsenal at the end of March, Manchester City has almost been on the rhythm of three days in a row for half a month.

Fortunately, the players withstood the pressure and won the league championship, so even if this league faced Liverpool, Gao Bo did not hesitate to make a rotation.

Even on the bench, Casemiro, who barely got a rotation, Fernandinho, Griezmann and others did not make the squad.

Therefore, the outside world is not surprised by such a result.

Before the resumption of the second half, most thought that City's first defeat of the season was imminent.

....

Liverpool tightened their defence in the second half and put on a counter-attacking posture.

There was nothing to blame for Liverpool's selection, as they faced Manchester City while also leading by two goals.

And what is surprising is the fighting spirit of the Manchester City players!

At the beginning of the second half, they launched a series of attacks!!

"Adam White's long shot!! Pretty!! ”

"Mignolet was forced to make a save!!"

"Luke Shaw.... Pass into the box!! Vardy ..... Whew, slightly out of the column! ”

The commentators on the commentary bench had no respite from the second half of the game.

In the stands, with every attack of Manchester City, Liverpool fans let out bursts of exclamations!

"Resist their onslaught!!"

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard clapped his hands vigorously on the pitch.

The current situation has caught Liverpool's players a little off guard.

The script didn't go as they expected, with a desperate Manchester City closing the second half and Liverpool winning the three points at home.

Look at the current situation of Manchester City.... They obviously don't want to lose away from home!!

Gerrard frowned and reminded his teammates loudly!

On the sidelines, Gao Bo's eyes lit up.

He was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the players.

If the players don't want to contribute to this "meaningless" league, even if the manager wants to win.

After all, the players are the players.

Manchester City's continuous pressing made Liverpool feel strong pressure.

After Mignolet cleared the danger for Liverpool again, Benitez on the sidelines couldn't sit still.

He replaced striker Sturridge with midfielder No.24 Joe Allen.

Liverpool changed their formation from 433 to 442, with Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard in the middle, flanked by Philippe Coutinho and Joe Allen.

Strengthen a midfielder in front of the defence to increase the protection of the defence.

And Gao Bo also responded immediately after seeing Liverpool's adjustment.

Ten minutes from the beginning of the second half to now, Manchester City's offensive is very fierce, it can be said that it is just one goal!

Since the players want to win, it is natural that as a manager, you have to support the players' ideas.

"Li Yuanshan!! Go warm up!! ”

Gao Bo turned his head to look at his bench.

On the bench, David Silva and Kaka were both on the bench, although Gao Bo did not intend to compete with Liverpool in midfield.

Now on the pitch, City's three midfielders are Milner, Wanyama and Eriksen.

Compared with Liverpool's three midfielders Gerrard, Henderson, and Coutinho, the three midfielders who are now starting Manchester City actually do not have much advantage in terms of strength, but Manchester City's system runs more smoothly, which can form a limited pressure on Liverpool as a whole.

If Liverpool is to be completely pinched in the midfield, then Gao Bo may have to replace David Silva and Kaka.

However, Gao Bo did not think that he needed to do so.

On the field, with Adam White and Sanchez on the field, Manchester City can use the wings to suppress Liverpool!

In this case, it is logical to replace Li Yuanshan and strengthen the control of high-altitude balls in the middle.

With the current situation between the two sides, Manchester City can get a lot of crosses.

Li Yuanshan was stunned.

He has had a number of chances this season, but most of them have come in cup competitions or against mid-table teams in some leagues, and most of them have come off the bench.

Facing a strong team like Liverpool, although he entered the squad for the game, he also knew that the probability of playing was very slim.

After all, if the attack is to step up, there are better Kaka and David Silva on the bench as options.

"I'm stunned, what are you doing!"

Gao Bo frowned.

Li Yuanshan immediately jumped up from the bench.

"Yes, I'll go right away! Chief! ”

The players on the bench laughed good-naturedly.

Li Yuanshan also immediately ran to the sidelines and began to warm up.

Boos erupted from the stands.

The commentators also took note of City's movements.

"Manchester City is going to make a substitution, and Chinese teenager Li Yuanshan is ready to appear!! Coach Gao Bo wants to replace a high school forward!! ”

Commentator Lightkinson said.

On the sidelines, Benitez breathed a sigh of relief.

In Benitez's view, although Li Yuanshan is very tall, he also has a certain threat in the forward line.

But he is clearly inferior to David Silva and Kaka, who are on the Manchester City bench.

Therefore, Benitez does not think that the replacement of Li Yuanshan can put more pressure on Liverpool's defence.

At this point, the situation on the pitch is evenly balanced.

Liverpool reclaimed some possession advantage in midfield, while Manchester City were equally in contention.

It's a stalemate.

At this time, will Li Yuanshan be the one to break the deadlock?

Gao Bo is quite confident in this.

He immediately changed to a card to strengthen crosses and headers, especially Li Yuanshan, who was originally very good at heading, and after equipping the header card, Gao Bo believed that the current Li Yuanshan could enter the ranks of first-class center forwards just by heading.

"Manchester City made a substitution, Li Yuanshan replaced.... Replaced full-back Luke Shaw!! ”

"What a bold substitution, the next defender, the last centre-forward! It seems that Coach Gao Bo must still have ideas about this game, and he definitely doesn't seem to approve of his team losing the game like this! ”

The commentators said one after another.

Li Yuanshan stood on the sidelines, waiting for the time to play.

On the pitch, Alexis Sanchez picked up the ball and faced full-back Glen Johnson, who made a bottom feint and quickly cut the ball down the middle.

Glen Johnson turned quickly, but Sanchez was on the verge of shooting by the time he turned.

Glen Johnson had to be fouled and City were awarded a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.

Doodle!

The referee's whistle blows.

Substitution!

Li Yuanshan!

Luke Shaw!

The substitution was done quickly.

Luke Shaw walked off the field quickly, Li Yuanshan and he immediately came on the field after high-fiveing him, pointing at his fingers, obviously, he brought the latest tactical deployment of head coach Gao Bo!

Alexis Sanchez and Eriksen stand in front of the ball.

This is an area where the angle is a little smaller if you shoot straight at goal, but it's not impossible.

The two discussed for a moment, then stepped back.

Sanchez holds the ball and puts it away.

"Looks like Sanchez is coming ..... kick"

However, as soon as Sanchez put the ball down, Eriksen rushed up and crossed directly!!

As soon as Li Yuanshan ran to the penalty area, the ball came!

He was unceremonious, jumped high and headed the goal!

The football goes over the goalkeeper's arm .... Hit the net!

Anfield fell into an eerie silence.

Substitution!

Play!

Header!

The ball went in....

It all seems too simple...
