"Old friends!"

This was the front-page headline of the sports section of The Times on March 2.

On this day, Liverpool will face Manchester City at home to the 28th round of the league!

Just a few days ago, Liverpool won the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, and now they are meeting again, which will be the third meeting between the two teams this season, so it's no wonder that The Times describes it as 'old friends'.

"Before the game, The Times used the phrase 'old friends' to describe the match between Liverpool and Manchester City, but in my opinion, Manchester City would certainly not like the word. Having lost the Carabao Cup final in fact, Manchester City's morale and form have been in question lately and they certainly don't want to face Liverpool again at this time. He Wei said that this game, CCTV will broadcast live, at this moment, He Wei is at the Anfield stadium live commentary seat to explain the game.

The camera gives a close-up of the Anfield stadium, which is already a sea of red.

"Anfield was packed today!" He then joked, "We have to thank Jiang Chenxi because of him we had the opportunity to broadcast the game live at Anfield." ”

"Before the game, the English media counted Jiang Chenxi's goal statistics this season, he scored 20 goals in eight games against the traditional BIG6 of the Premier League, including the previous two times against Manchester City, Jiang Chenxi scored a hat trick, respectively, the league away beat Manchester City 5-1, and a few days ago in the League Cup final Liverpool defeated Manchester City 4-2!" Zhang Lu said, "Therefore, before the game, the media was hotly discussing what kind of performance Jiang Chenxi would have in this game. ”

……

Amid the huge cheers of the audience, the players of both sides entered.

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."

"On the Liverpool side, the goalkeeper is Karius and the left wing-back is Alberto. Moreno, right wing-back is Flanagant, a rather unexpected change, Klein was injured in the pre-match warm-up, Klopp made Flanagan the first start for the England player in more than a year, and before that, Flanagan had only made two substitute appearances in the FA Cup, a change worth noting. ”

'The centre-back is a partnership between Virgil van Dijk and Lovren, who has taken care of his family affairs and has been in good form in training lately, so Klopp has regained his trust.

'In midfield, Lallana, Emre Can, Jordan Henderson and James Milner.

"On the front line, Klopp arranged a double center forward partnership of Firmino and Jiang Chenxi, which is also more surprising."

'I've got the latest news here, Sadio Mane has a cold, Salah has a cold, so these two guys didn't start. Zhang Lu said, "The English media said that Salah and Mane lived in the same room, so Salah was infected. ”

"Liverpool's luck is really not good, Klein is injured in the warm-up, Mane has a cold, and Salah is infected." He Wei shook his head and said.

At this time, what is concerned on the Internet is another concern: Haven't Salah and Jiang Chenxi always been in the same room?

"On Manchester City's side, the goalkeeper is Hart."

'Klich at left wing-back, Zabaleta at right-back and Kompany and Otamendi at centre-back.

"The midfielders are, Fernando, Fernandinho, Keylor Navas, David. Silva and Raheem Sterling. ”

"There's Aguero in front alone."

"Director Zhang, what do you think of Manchester City's squad today?"

"I'm going to be blown up, I'm going to be blown up, hey-" Zhang Lu laughed, "Is Pellegrini going to let himself go?" Manchester City's starting line-up may be a success, but the question is, can Manchester City hold on? How do they defend against Liverpool's attack? How to get to Fangjiang Chenxi? ”

……

"Man City are too passive!" Lineker shook his head and said, "Is this still the same Manchester City team that won the title two seasons ago?" They are completely suppressed! ”

In the live broadcast footage, Manchester City defender Otamendi hurriedly passed the football back to goalkeeper Hart in the face of Jiang Chenxi's pressing, and then the latter cleared the football with a somewhat embarrassed big foot: the football was kicked directly out of the sideline.

From the moment referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the start of the game, Liverpool began to put pressure on Manchester City.

The game was more than ten minutes into the game, and the theme of the game could be described in two words: compressing space and winning possession quickly.

Liverpool dominated the pitch almost from the start, opening with lightning speed and stormy midfield tackles, and using great resilience to block up front, constantly causing problems for City's goalkeeper Joe Hart, who struggled to organise attacks on the goallines.

With Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah absent, Jurgen Klopp was forced to line up the midfield line-up of Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Lallana and Emre Can, all of whom had defensive interceptions, including Jordan Henderson and James Milner and Emre Can.

Milner and Emre Can often swap positions, which can sometimes make Sergio Aguero look isolated in front of the opposition defence, especially Milner, who runs and presses with no relentless effort to stand out in this game.

'Liverpool's squad today was unconventional, but, to be honest, the formation didn't matter anymore, Liverpool's midfield formed a man-to-man defence, blocking City's passing lanes, and the opposition never found a good solution. John. Mortenson pointed it out sharply.

……

Fernando looked at Jiang Chenxi's regretful jumping figure with some shock.

It really scared him out of it just now.

Fernando faced Jiang Chenxi's pressing, and hastily cleared the football, but did not kick the football away, the football was pushed back by Emrejan's header, and then Jiang Chenxi squeezed Fernando away, stopped the ball on his chest, and then directly half-turned and volleyed outside the penalty area!

The ball was pounced on by Joe Hart and bounced off the post, before being pounced on by Joe Hart.

If it hadn't been for Joe Hart's brilliant swing, the ball might have flown straight into the goal, in which case the most direct responsibility for the goal would have been on him.

Jiang Chenxi is too strong!

Fernando looked at Jiang Chenxi, the Manchester City player's expression was solemn: there were still seventy or eighty minutes left in the game, he really didn't have the confidence to defend against Jiang Chenxi, the pressure brought to him by the other party was too great!
