Chapter 187: They're Scared (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
"Aguero ()!! Aguero !! Pretty! This goal is beautiful! It was Aguero's third league goal of the season and he challenged Chen Yingying on the scorers' charts! The first two seasons were Chen Yingying and Van Persie, this season is Aguero's turn to challenge the hero's supremacy?! ”
"He was the most popular player for Manchester City in the last two seasons! Aguero has proven himself once again!! ”
"So far in the new season, there has never been a team that has been able to put Liverpool behind first, and it is always Liverpool who score first...... Now Aguero has done it! Manchester City did it! The contest between these sworn enemies is really ***, it's very beautiful! ”
Seeing Sergio Aguero score, Mancini jumped up from his seat and shouted as he celebrated the goal wildly with those around him. He was in the same mood as the City players on the pitch.
Liverpool has bullied us for too long, and the new and old accounts are counted together, and the revenge must be avenged!
Now this is a good opportunity. The day when Manchester City will raise their eyebrows in front of Liverpool is coming!
Can he not get excited?
But next door, although conceded a goal, Liverpool's manager Martin . O'Neill didn't look much angry or depressed.
The core of Liverpool's tactics is to score first and take the lead. In this way, you will take the initiative and pull your opponent into your own rhythm of the game, so that the opponent can only run with you.
The commentator is right that Liverpool have never conceded first in the league this season.
Counting other competitions, Liverpool have only been behind in the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid.
This is not a bad thing for Liverpool in the full sense of the word, but a good thing for Liverpool, because it allows Liverpool players to gain experience by constantly encountering such situations.
For a team that is constantly adding new players and needs to keep grinding, experience is the most valuable.
It's a pity that because Liverpool is too strong in the domestic league, there are not many such opportunities. I finally met it today, so naturally I want to learn it and accumulate experience in dealing with this kind of scene.
So seeing the team concede a goal, Martin. O'Neill didn't show any frustration at all.
This disappointed those who were waiting to see the Liverpool joke.
※※※
After conceding a goal, Liverpool experienced a brief period of panic before quickly regaining their composure under the leadership of captain Steven Gerrard and Chen Yingying.
Steven Gerrard has stabilized his players through words and a sense of leadership.
And Chen Yingying used his practical actions.
He fired a long-range shot from outside the box to force Joe. Hart made a brilliant save that shocked the City fans in the stands to forget to boo once again.
Although Chen Yingying's shot did not score, it gave the Liverpool players two hints. The first one is that we still have a hero, with him, what else is there to worry about? The second is a long shot! Yes, long shot! It's raining today, the pitch is slippery, and the long shot is the best way to score.
Let's shoot from a distance ()!
After Chen Yingying's long-range shot, Gerrard also came with a kick quickly.
Both of these men are long-range shooters.
※※※
Martin. O'Neill sat in the dugout, crossed his legs, and seemed particularly laid-back, not at all like the head coach of a backward team.
He made up his mind that this game would be a rare test for Liverpool.
He's going to see how his players deal with it. So he won't make any adjustments in the first half, and he won't exercise his managerial powers.
If he couldn't get the opponent in the first half, he made adjustments at half-time.
He hopes this group of players won't keep him waiting too long.
※※※
Martin. O'Neill really didn't have to wait long.
After deciding on a long-range strategy, Chen Yingying retreated, formed a turret with Gerrard, and continued to bombard Manchester City's goal.
I have to say that this is indeed very effective and threatening.
It's a bit like Liverpool's tactics when they played Manchester United. Chen Yingying withdrew, and Suarez stepped up. If Manchester City's players come to defend Chen Yingying, is Suarez a vegetarian? If they are afraid of Suarez's ability and dare not step forward, then Chen Yingying's long-range shot is not in vain.
What to do? It makes them struggled.
Then they got tangled up - who the got the ball, who was the biggest threat! Chen Yingying gets the ball, then go to defend Chen Yingying, Suarez gets the ball, then go to defend Suarez!
But there is always a mistake in Baimi ().
In the 36th minute, Gerrard won the ball in front of the penalty area and made a gesture to shoot from distance, causing Manchester City's defenders to rush to block it, but he dialed the ball to Chen Yingying on the right.
Chen Yingying doesn't stop the ball and shoots directly from a distance!
The soccer ball clings to the turf towards the goal.
Joe. Hart made another world-class save!
He rubbed the tip of his finger and the ball hit the post, then bounced out from behind him and flew to the other side.
Just when Manchester City fans were preparing for Joe. While Hart cheered for his brilliant performance, another figure in a red jersey came into view.
"Suare-Si!!" With a loud roar from the commentator, the Uruguayan shooter easily pushed the ball into the empty goal!
"Liverpool equalised!"
"Oooh! Suarez! Suarez! He was clever enough to shoot! Joe. Hart made a great save for the first time, but this time he was too late, and he was still lying on the ground and didn't get up...... He was able to save Manchester City once, twice, three times! But he can't be the savior of Manchester City every time! ”
※※※
Seeing Suarez score, Martin. O'Neill had a smile on his face.
This is what he wants to see Liverpool, no matter what kind of situation he faces, he must maintain enough confidence and calmness.
This is a must-have quality for a wealthy family. Wealthy families have experienced strong winds and waves, how can they be frightened by any scene casually? That's not a wealthy family, that's an upstart family.
※※※
The team conceded a goal, and Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was a little annoyed.
The hard-won lead is gone, can he not be annoyed?
He is also counting on this lead to take Liverpool.
If the team can beat Liverpool at home, he can take the opportunity to break the shackles that have accumulated in the hearts of Manchester City's players.
But look at the momentum...... Something is not good!
Mancini will never admit it, nor will he realise that he is in fact the same as the players, and he already has a psychological shadow for Liverpool. Even on his home turf, he lacks confidence and is always afraid of losing.
Feeling that the momentum was wrong, Mancini made the first adjustment. He asked his players to stop pressing aggressively for the time being, and instead play defensive counter-attacks.
As long as you don't keep conceding goals, that's fine. Anyway, it was less than ten minutes before the end of the first half. After these ten minutes, if there is anything to adjust, he will come back to the arrangement at halftime.
As long as they don't keep conceding goals, the morale of the team will not be lost.
※※※
In the game, Chen Yingying could clearly feel the recovery of Manchester City.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to form a dead ball, Chen Yingying said to Gerald, "See, Steve? They are afraid of us, obviously afraid of us! ”
Gerrard smiled: "You score four goals in one game and five goals in another game, which is what normal people will be afraid of." ”
Chen Yingying also smiled: "Since they give me face like this, how can I disappoint them?" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course they continue to be scared ()!"
※※※
Sergio Aguero was unhappy with the team's tactical adjustments. According to him, should the team get up and score another goal after the equaliser, and tell Liverpool that their equaliser was just a fluke, or is it that we Manchester City are better and want to win at our home stadium? Dream!
Unexpectedly, Mancini chose a conservative tactic. Isn't this a clear way to tell the other party, "We are afraid of you, you must not attack you"?
The most important thing is that the team's tactics say that they are defending and counterattacking, but they are actually defending, and there is nothing to do with counterattacks. He's useless! Running around in the front yard and getting nothing but wasting your physical strength!
He waved to his teammates in the backcourt in the frontcourt, signaling them to press up when they attacked, and provide himself with enough support. What's the use of Silva's top......
※※※
As the first half looked like it was coming to an end, City were particularly cautious and cautious in defending to keep a single one out of sight. At the same time, he also pays attention to his movements at the edge of the penalty area and does not foul easily.
Because they know that Liverpool have a couple of free-kick takers in their squad. They don't want to give Liverpool another chance to score at the end of the first half.
As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come.
All the Manchester City players were nervous, and even a little nervous when they didn't want to foul, but they still fouled......
Thirty-three metres from goal, slightly to the right, Lescott once went around the front and bumped into Sanchez, who cut in.
It's hard to say if Sanchez faked a fall, but Lescott was thrilled when he heard the whistle and kept signaling to the referee that Sanchez was a fake.
The Manchester City players and coaches off the pitch also protested loudly to the referee, especially the manager Mancini, who seemed very excited, and he pulled the fourth official to complain about Sanchez's fake fall.
Liverpool must have defended their teammates, and naturally refused to budge, believing that Lescott had indeed fouled Sanchez.
So is there a foul on the ground? The slow motion of the TV gave the answer. Lescott did commit a foul, but Sanchez's fall was also slightly exaggerated......
But in any case, the free-kick was fine, and Sanchez's exaggerated performance was at best a debate about whether to give Lescott a yellow card.
The referee did not give a yellow card.
So there's nothing to argue about.
But the Manchester City players and coaches are unrelenting, with a posture of "if you don't change our free-kick at the back, Lao Tzu will not be done with you".
The referee certainly won't make that change.
※※※
While they were besieging the referee, Chen Yingying had already set up the football with his teammates.
And then he just stood by and watched.
All he could see in the faces of these excited City players was trepidation.
Since you have given me face like this, how can I bear to let you down?
Good! Meet you! Otherwise, wouldn't you worry in vain? The most painful and cruel thing in life must be this, right?
Don't worry, I, Chen Yingying, will never disappoint, since you are so afraid, I will naturally go all out to meet your wishes.
