In Benitez's view, Wan Sheng is really bold, and he actually chose to sacrifice Anelka's scoring ability to create opportunities for others.

Compared with letting Anelka play, this style of play is really not good or bad, but Liverpool didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, and the goal just now also proved that Wansheng's tactics were successful, and Benitez could only smile bitterly at this.

He certainly didn't want to let that fail, but with 2-0 down, his side won't stand a chance unless the 'Istanbul Miracle' is staged at the Manchester Stadium.

At the same time, the scene in the stands of Liverpool fans attracted the attention of many people, and many Liverpool fans shouted a touching sentence after seeing Robbie Fowler score, "Robbie, come back!" ”

At the beginning, there were only a few voices, and soon the Liverpool fans shouted along, making the whole stadium atmosphere very touching, Robbie Fowler also stopped and looked over, there was no more excitement on his face, there was only complexity, and the only thing that was not in the complex emotions was moving.

He was indeed a player who went out of Liverpool, but at that time he did not leave on his own initiative, but the club insisted on selling him!

He was plagued by injuries and could only watch his friend Michael Owen rise to fame and be forgotten, and then Liverpool gave up on him, and he was traded to Leeds United and then to Manchester City.

In the past few years, Liverpool have never thought of calling themselves back, and now they suddenly think of themselves!?

It's ridiculous!

Liverpool's lack of strikers and goalscorers is in good shape, so they thought about themselves, but now they don't need to leave Manchester City because they are in good shape. Leaving for Liverpool, no one knows what it will be like.

So the answer is already obvious.

Robbie Fowler shook his head, stopped thinking about the bother, and continued to run forward and get into the game

The game on the pitch is already heating up.

Even though everyone knew Liverpool didn't have much chance, they did their best to play and they were on the attack. The pressure of the whole formation is still very powerful, and Manchester City has no need to fight with them, so they also retreated the formation slightly, and as a result, Liverpool actually played some advantages on the field.

At the real height of the game, the coaches of both sides, Wan Sheng and Benitez, did not sit in the dugout, but walked to the sidelines, and both focused on the game.

Now both sides have some chances.

Manchester City thanks to two goals. They didn't have to fight Liverpool, so they focused more on defense, and Liverpool fought hard and pressed very forward, but what can be seen is that their defense at the back is very empty, but now their only option is to attack.

For a while, both teams had some bad luck.

Liverpool put the ball into the box three times in a row. There were also two more threats that failed to score; City also had two chances and played quick counter-attacks. But two mistakes from the frontcourt players wasted the chances.

Until the last ten minutes of the game, the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and the score on the field did not weaken at all because of the passage of time.

The score remained 2-0 and Manchester City led at home.

Although Liverpool played very well on the field, the Liverpool media had a bad look on their faces. Because it was obvious who won and who lost, they had come with the expectation of a win over Manchester City, but now Manchester City have a two-goal lead, which is completely different from what they expected.

They were also unhappy with the course of the game, as Robbie Fowler emerged as a key player. The performance is very good.

They expected Robbie Fowler to return to Anfield, but they definitely didn't expect Robbie Fowler to perform so well, because in that case, Manchester City would not be able to let him go, and Robbie Fowler would definitely stay at Manchester City until the end of the season - even if he himself wanted to leave.

So they could only curse in their hearts, "Damn the Mancundians! ”

In minutes, both sides were still entangled and deadlocked.

On the other hand, the Manchester City media is elated, there is so much to say about this game, the excitement itself has been unexpected, Manchester City's victory is the biggest surprise, because this is their tenth victory in the league - ten wins in a row!

Ten consecutive wins in the Premier League are very dazzling results!

Chelsea's nine wins in a row at the start of the season were already quite staggering, and they didn't expect Manchester City to have such a good result, so they have plenty of reasons to be happy.

So after seeing the time pass little by little and get closer and closer to the end of the game, Manchester City media reporters are as excited as the fans, some of them are real Manchester City fans, it is normal to be happy with Manchester City's results, and some are purely excited about the post-match coverage, they are sure that the good result of 'Manchester City's ten consecutive wins' will definitely attract the attention of the whole of England and even the whole of Europe.

Seeing the appearance of the Manchester City media, the Liverpool media can only scold in their hearts.

But they have to envy the ten consecutive victories in their hearts, such a good result is indeed worth celebrating wildly

By now everyone thought the game was over, and a 2-0 win for Manchester City was the best result.

But there is one person who does not see it that way, and that is Wansheng.

It's true that it was great to win 2-0 at home to Liverpool and get their 10th league win, but he knows better that every minute of every game has to be taken very seriously, even if they are now 2-0 up, in fact, the team is not doing its best, some of the players on the pitch are slacking off, they are not running aggressively, so much so that they miss some opportunities.

Wan Sheng couldn't help but walk to the sidelines and yell, "Be serious! The game isn't over yet! Now is not the time to be clear! ”

Under his urging, Manchester City's performance on the field has improved a lot.

Next, Li Wansheng plans to change.

At this time, the team is 2-0 ahead, and the substitution is very technical, because victory is not the only one, substitutions can also give others a chance, of course, the most important thing is not to affect the victory.

So who to replace?

Wan Sheng replaced two people in one go, one was Copelle Ferreira. He replaced captain Distin, who had slipped in fitness, and Andy Cole, who replaced Robbie Fowler, who had performed well.

Comparatively speaking, the replacement in the back is eye-catching.

Robbie Fowler has been so good that both of City's goals have been directly linked to him, and now Wan Sheng has opted to replace him. In fact, there are two reasons, one is naturally to give him the opportunity to enjoy the applause of the fans, and the other is that his physical fitness is almost to the limit, and the "killing" tactic has too many runs, and the physical requirements are still very large, especially like the frontcourt players, who need to constantly run back and forth, and also fence the frontcourt, which are very physically energy-consuming.

In fact, the increase in physical consumption in football matches is an overall general trend. It's not just the 10,000-win team that's the case.

Fifty years ago, a good professional player only needed to run 4,000 meters on the field; Ten years ago, professional players who ran 10,000 meters were already considered quite top-notch, and at that time, such players would definitely be praised for being diligent; But nowadays, 10,000 meters has almost become the standard of occupation - if you run 10,000 meters in a race, you are just passing the grade.

This is also the general trend of football development in terms of running, with eleven players on the field, and the positioning of various positions is gradually blurred. A team becomes a whole, and more and more runs drive the whole operation.

Wan Sheng's 'kill it' tactic. It's definitely in line with the laws of football, so it has a good power, and of course, it's very demanding on the players to run.

There are a few players on the team who are very fit, like Joey Barton, Distin, Anelka, etc., but Robbie Fowler definitely doesn't belong to one of them. Due to frequent injuries in the past few years, even if he is in good physical condition now, his physical fitness is at the bottom of the team.

Since he couldn't run, staying on the field would also drag down the whole team, so Wan Sheng could only choose to replace him

When Robbie Fowler came off the field. The City fans in the audience greeted him with applause, and he hugged Andy Cole as he walked onto the pitch.

Wan Sheng also greeted him, threw over a bottle of water, patted Robbie Fowler on the shoulder and said, "Well done!" ”

Robbie Fowler smiled and thanked him for the compliment.

Then Wan Sheng grabbed Robbie Fowler's hand and walked back to the dugout and sat down, not that he wanted to touch a man's hand well, it's a bit disgusting to say that, but in fact, it's mainly for those media to see.

You say Robbie Fowler is infinitely close to Liverpool?

Check it out!

Robbie Fowler is indeed in very good shape, he became the decisive player in the game with Liverpool, and at the same time his relationship with manager Wan Sheng is also very high, the two can talk and laugh like friends, there is no contradiction at all, so how can Robbie Fowler choose to leave Manchester City and return to Liverpool?

Andy Cole is already on the pitch.

Andy Cole is a newcomer to the team, but no one dares to underestimate the veteran, in fact, some Manchester City fans in the summer have raised objections because of Cole's status as a rival Manchester United, but with a few league games, Cole's performances on the pitch have made him more accepted by Manchester City fans.

Now he has become a very important card in Wansheng's hand.

Among Manchester City's strikers, Anelka is the most attention-grabbing, his performance is simply eye-catching; In addition, as a newcomer, Darren Bent's performance can definitely reach outstanding, because he is still a young player, many media and fans pay more attention to him; In the current race, Robbie Fowler is in excellent form again.

Manchester City's forward line has blossomed more!

But in such a situation, no one dares to ignore Andy Cole, a 34-year-old veteran whose consistent scoring is staggering.

In the previous league games, Andy Cole scored three goals, which is not a lot of numbers, but in reality, he only made eight appearances, and four of them came off the bench, which is still very efficient.

Wan Sheng is also looking forward to Andy Cole's appearance, and he wants to see what other surprises the veteran can bring.

But not everyone understands his substitutions, especially Robbie Fowler, who is the best performer, so when he saw Manchester City's substitutions, a commentator said, "Look! Manchester City made substitution adjustments, Robbie Fowler walked off the field under the cheers of the whole audience, it seems that Wansheng wants Fowler to enjoy a heroic treatment, but it is still a bit early to make a substitution, 2:0 can indeed guarantee the victory, but Robbie Fowler is on the field, the threat to Liverpool will be greater, even if the substitution should be replaced by a young player, give young players some opportunities to play "Unfortunately, what he said can't change Wansheng's decision, and Andy Cole has already played."

Liverpool were a little humiliated when they saw Andy Cole come on, and they thought it was a game that City thought they were sure to win, and as a result, they attacked more aggressively.

The competition is in its final stages.

Manchester City didn't expect Liverpool to attack so fiercely, and they played a little passive for a while, but their defense was still very tight, and at the same time, under the guidance of Morris, Joey Barton and others, they also frequently played counter-attacks.

This time, when Morris broke the ball, he was calm in the face of the pressing of the Liverpool players.

He passed the ball to Joey Barton safely.

Joey Barton stopped the ball and transferred it directly to Andy Cole in front, who then shifted to Sinclair, and the football went in a few shifts, from the Manchester City half to the Liverpool half.

This kind of passing coordination is very pleasing to the eye, and many fans in the stands cheered.

The football was already at Sinclair's feet, and at the sound of cheers in his ears, he suddenly picked up speed and led forward.

Sinclair is not a big name, but he has been City's main wing-back, and even Wright Phillips has struggled to take his place.

He relies on speed and breakthrough ability, his speed is very fast, the breakthrough action is simple and practical, it is relying on these two abilities that he can sit in the main position in Manchester City, and his speed and breakthrough have also become an important offensive means for Manchester City.

Now Liverpool is pressing very forward, they have just finished a wave of attack, the backcourt defense looks very empty, and Sinclair took advantage of the opportunity to choose to carry the ball directly.

In fact, the task given to him by Wan Sheng is also this.

The 'killing' tactic does need to be coordinated, but the game is ever-changing, and it is impossible to always rely on fixed cooperation, when the opponent's defense is empty, it is naturally more practical to counterattack faster, and it has now reached a critical moment.

When Sinclair rushed up with the ball, the Liverpool defence immediately panicked.

Their defense was already empty, the flanks could hardly be described as undescribed, and when Sinclair rushed up, they couldn't defend effectively at all, and as a result, they could only split the right side and only split a Finnan to interfere with the past, but he also struggled to stop Sinclair.

Approaching the Liverpool penalty area, Sinclair slowed down.

He didn't intend to take the ball to the baseline, it would be impractical, he just glanced in the direction of the middle and chose to pass!

This pass was very sudden!

Finnan wanted to stop Sinclair in front, but how did he know he passed the ball like this? As a result, he could only watch the football rush to the middle.

There's a figure there—Maurice!

Morris followed, he received the ball in front of the penalty line, this position is quite dangerous, the retreating Jamie Carragher almost immediately gave up on Anelka and ran over, but what he didn't expect was that Morris did not stop the ball at all, but continued to make a pass.

Left?

It's Andy Cole!!

A swarthy figure followed, and he waved his right leg without hesitation, and the ball flew towards the goal in an instant.

Andy Cole's shot didn't hit the angle of the goal, but it was powerful enough, and it was very unexpected, so it was difficult for Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna to react, and the only thing he did was to put his own arm and watch the ball fly from his hand to the net.

“Gooooooooooooal！！！！！！！”

"Andy Cole !!"

“3:0！ The game could have ended early, with Andy Cole scoring the third goal for Manchester City! (To be continued......)
