Milner came off the bench and replaced Navas, not only can rely on Milner's tireless running to continue to strengthen the team’s offense on this side, but also use Milner’s personal vigorous fighting spirit to inspire other Manchester City players. Enterprising.
On the other hand, Aguero replaced Fernandinho and Manchester City changed to a 442 formation. At this time, Yaya Toure can only add more defensive pressure, but also to ensure the team’s strength. Offensive, there is a higher level of improvement.
Unlike Manchester City who put a lot of power on the offensive end, with the advantage of two goals in hand, when Manchester City's last fight, Rogers began to seek stability to increase the team's defensive strength.
Sturridge, who has a yellow card, will be replaced, and Lucas, the team's defensive midfielder, will continue to strengthen the defense of the center.
After that, Moses, Koroture and others were all asked to warm up and wait for Rogers' dispatch at any time to ensure that the team's defense can continue to increase its power.
Manchester City, which was two goals behind, began to attack on the offensive end and continued to strengthen the offense.
Especially the left side is the focus of Manchester City's attack direction.
With the appearance of Aguero, Nasri, Silva, and Aguero on the left can form a very effective small-range pass. In addition, Dzeko can sometimes build a wall within the penalty area. Said that Manchester City is finally on this side, able to form effective continuous attack opportunities.
Coupled with Clichy's attack, the Manchester City players' originally scattered running positions may suddenly crowd the players into the left area, creating an attack opportunity.
