Manchester City's wing created a great threat from the very beginning. However, Liverpool's existing field staffing is destined to know that Manchester City's wing attack is threatening, but it can only be left to nothing.

This involves the team's overall offensive and defensive issues. At least, in this game, although Rogers chose to avoid his edge, it was definitely not for Liverpool to hold onto a draw.

Will not play against Manchester City, but it does not mean that Liverpool will give up counterattack. As far as the position on the field is concerned, Liverpool still put a few players in the midfield line to defend. These players can all counterattack. When the opportunity arises, give Manchester City a fatal blow.

Liverpool don't want to change the integrity of their lineup to slightly increase the defensive strength of the wing.

On the other hand, Manchester City has a lot of crosses from the wing, but because there is only Negredo in the penalty area, they have not converted this suppression into a large number of shots.

Also for the balance of the team's formation, Manchester City players still have certain concerns about getting in and grabbing points.

This also makes that, although Manchester City played a certain degree of suppressing effect at the beginning, but in fact, the only threat to the goal obtained was only Navas's jump to the top in the opening game. Occupying a huge offensive threat, in other cases, it did not create enough threatening opportunities to hit the goal.

And Liverpool are gradually adapting to Manchester City's wing attack rhythm, making Liverpool's defense no longer as embarrassed as the opening.

In particular, the central defender line composed of Yang Feng and Scotter, for Negredo's defense, and for the defense of other Manchester City players into the penalty area, did an excellent job, so that the game situation gradually calmed down.

The Liverpool team itself, in addition to completing a good defense, has been waiting for a counterattack opportunity.

This kind of stalemate in the game with Manchester City's slight advantage has been maintained until the 18th minute, when Liverpool showed the team's strong offensive ability on the counterattack for the first time.

Manchester City's midfielder organized the attack and made mistakes under the sudden pressure of Liverpool players.

Yaya Toure picked Fernandinho to pass, and "Fei Bird" made a mistake in stopping the ball, causing the ball to be missing. Henderson grabbed a step and took the ball with a short pass to nearby Joe Allen.

Joe Allen sent a long through pass to find Suarez near the middle circle.

Liverpool's counterattack began immediately.

Suarez accelerates forward with the ball himself, and there is enough open space in front of him.

At the forefront, it is Sterling and Coutinho that compress the three-man defense in the backcourt. The 3-on-3 situation is an excellent opportunity for Liverpool.

Suarez drove the ball quickly in the middle, and compelling Kompany had to come out to grab and block the advance of Siares. Even if he got a yellow card for a foul, he had to solve the threat of Liverpool's counterattack this time.

And Suarez, before Kompany grabbed his place, faced the empty space behind Kompany's departure and sent a precise through ball.

When Sterling on the right was running, he consciously jumped forward, just to speed up to get rid of Korolav's defense, and he slanted into the arc in the penalty area, received a pass from Suarez, and directly completed the single-handed goal and faced the attacking goalkeeper Joe. Hart.

The moment Sterling used his flexibility to get rid of the goalkeeper and pushed the empty goal, the whistle stopped the game.

Goal! However, the linesman had already raised his flag for offside!

The ecstasy of the Liverpool players for this counterattack goal, before they celebrated, was poured out by the referee.

Suarez, who passed the ball, and Sterling, who received the ball and finished the goal, were protesting to the referee. This ball should be a good one.

Especially Sterling, he was most excited about the protest against this penalty. When he ran diagonally to the left and interspersed, he kept paying attention to Korolav's position, otherwise at his speed, he would be able to get rid of faster if he ignored the effects of offside.

It was when Suarez made a pass that Sterling stepped on the accelerator, sprinted at full speed, and instantly completed his escape from Korolav.

However, the referee only signaled that there was no problem with the ball and maintained the offside penalty. He avoided the questioning of the Liverpool players and signaled Manchester City to kick off quickly.

An offensive threat between the millimetres, perhaps for this offside penalty, the players, fans, and referees on the scene could not fully recognize what happened in an instant.

In the face of established facts, they can only reinvest in the game.

However, TV broadcasts can be replayed from all angles, especially after the offside line of the broadcaster’s technical department is drawn, you can immediately see that when passing the ball, Korolaf is still half of his position. On a good goal, the linesman misjudged.

The Liverpool fans in front of the TV were angry, and the Liverpool fans who watched the live broadcast on the Internet were also angry. Some Liverpool fans who watched the game on the spot but still chatted on the Internet on their mobile phones to show off realized afterwards and were also angry.

Rogers on the sidelines, getting feedback from the logistics staff, was even more angry.

Liverpool may have scored a leading goal, and it was blown off, and a wonderful goal was thus disturbed by human factors.

Although Rogers will not immediately inform the players of the news, which will affect the players' performance in this game, Rogers will not cover up his dissatisfaction with the referee.

Every controversial penalty after the referee was met by Rogers' dissatisfaction protest. Rogers showed his dissatisfaction with exaggerated protest.

The referee didn’t have any penalties for Rogers. After all, from the referee’s own perspective at the time, Sterling’s shot did not seem to be offside, but the line referee whistled that he was offside and he could only listen to "professional". It’s just the people’s penalty. The referee himself also wants to watch the video during the intermission to see how the ball is going. He is deciding the scale of his penalty in the second half...

Fortunately, the Liverpool players, devoted themselves to the game, can only think that the attack was offside.

Since it's offside, just recreate the opportunity.

In the 23rd minute ~lightnovelpub.net~Liverpool's offensive came back.

Henderson and Coutinho made multiple consecutive passes in the Manchester City half, tearing apart Manchester City’s midfield defense. Finally, Henderson made a straight pass and handed the ball back to the penalty area. Should Suarez.

Suarez came out to catch the ball, facing the defender with his back, half-turned to the side and stretched out a pad, and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Sterling once again slanted in from the right, speeding up the ball into the penalty area, which is the same as the previous "offside ball".

This time, the linesman took a look, hesitated, and chose not to blow the whistle.

Sterling strode the ball directly, avoiding Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart's attack. Although Sterling was a bit big, he still went to the left baseline area, resulting in a further reduction in the angle of the goal.

But Sterling is not alone. This shooting area is difficult for Sterling, who is not good at shooting, but not for Coutinho.

Coutinho has been accelerating forward on the left side, just hitting Sterling's big ball, and directly hit the goal with his left foot from a small angle, and shot into the empty goal.

1-0, the late goal still allowed Liverpool to take the lead in the away game.
