Relying on instantaneous scoring power, Liverpool achieved a 2-0 lead, and it also allowed Liverpool to lock in the victory as soon as possible. The idea of ​​staying in the second half was more than half completed.

　　 After leading by two goals, Liverpool did not slow down the rhythm, but continued to maintain or even speed up their own offensive and defensive rhythm, in order to achieve more goals before the end of halftime and continue to expand the lead.

　　Since we will face Chelsea next weekend, Liverpool need to give the players enough rest time on the basis of ensuring a smooth victory in this game.

Want to let the players get enough space to relax on the field, when facing a team like Swansea that is good at attacking, naturally they still want them to score more goals in the game and establish a large enough lead. .

　　 Otherwise, a team that is good at offensive, if it is really playing in the half-time and playing crazy, there is absolutely room for miracles.

　　 Therefore, Liverpool’s offensive did not actually slow down, but continued to seek more goals in the game, seizing all the time in the first half, striving to seal the victory.

　　 Liverpool’s own offensive, as well as the counterattack that Swansea’s offensive against at the end of the offensive and defensive transition phase, are extremely threatening.

　　 Even if he has successfully scored two goals in the opponent's goal, the huge offensive threat seems to herald the third goal, which will come soon.

　　 Of course, as for the idea of ​​Liverpool players saving energy and staying in the key battle with Chelsea in the middle of the week, the Swansea players at home will not care about so many.

　　For Swansea players, their goal at this stage in the game is very simple.

　　 With two goals behind, the outcome of this game is not so important to them.

　　 The most important thing is that they have to play a wonderful offensive cooperation, so that the fans watching the game have a clear release point and a reason to cheer and celebrate.

　　 Of course, giving comfort to the fans is one aspect. For the Swansea players, being able to perform well when facing Liverpool is also a recognition of their own strength.

Swansea is still launching an offensive. Not only the midfielders, but even the full-backs, are also fully inserted, trying to suppress Liverpool, and when they want to face the defending champion, they play a wave of suppressing offensive. .

　　 It's just that the overall strength of Swansea's team is there. They have good ideas and are willing to invest in the number of offenses.

　　 But in terms of offensive strength, it is not that good.

　　 Liverpool’s defensive composition at this time easily restricted Swansea’s many offensive directions.

　　 Swansea's offensive effect is not so significant.

　　 On the other hand, Liverpool’s own counterattack is still quite threatening.

　　 Facing Liverpool’s quick counterattack, Swansea’s defense didn’t have much tactics, and it was an attitude of doing everything in order.

　　 If you can defend it, try to defend it.

　　 can't help it, there is no way to be scored by Liverpool for the third goal.

　　 In the 41st minute of the game, Liverpool fought back again and finally penetrated Swansea's defense completely.

　　 Swansea made a mistake in the offensive pass in the front field.

　　 In the process of transferring the ball, Henderson suddenly completed the grab, which directly formed a steal.

　　 And just after this steal, a few people from Liverpool's front court immediately launched a counterattack.

Since Swansea’s full-backs have already stepped in to seek assists from the side, at this time, if they want to return to the defense, they need to run farther. The first time, the defender in Swansea’s backcourt faces Liverpool’s Quickly counterattack, there is not even the so-called superiority in the number of defenders.

　　 Henderson, when the team counterattacked and had considerable initiative, directly sent a through ball on the ground, hit the middle, and looked for Coutinho in front.

　　 Coutinho took the ball and moved forward directly.

And Sturridge is with Firmino, fast forward, almost pressing the Swansea defense line in the offensive, as long as the control is not offside, they both try to keep up with the Swansea defender The position is horizontal.

　　 Coutinho’s ability to dribble and break through is very good. When Coutinho is dribbling the ball, the defensive players even dare not rush to the ground, for fear of being caught by Coutinho and directly completing the pass.

　　 During the 3v3 offensive and defensive process, Swansea’s defense at this time cannot tolerate any defensive problems.

　　 appeared, allowing Liverpool players to get an open single chance near the zone, then it is no different from sending a goal.

　　 However, although Coutinho has the opportunity to attack, after all, it is 1v1. If Coutinho launches a strong attack, it can also create opportunities.

　　 However, Coutinho himself is still trying to maintain the so-called

For Liverpool, in the Champions League knockout rounds, they were sent off from 10 to 11. After being bombarded by their opponents at home, they managed to maintain a 0-0 score. enough.

　　 In the second round, although Liverpool is going to Madrid and going to Atletico Madrid to challenge the Devil's home court, it will inevitably endure huge pressure from Atletico Madrid's home court.

　　 But as long as Liverpool can remain unbeaten away and look for an away goal, then they can directly enter the Champions League quarterfinals.

　　 Of course, the time interval between the Champions League one-eighth matches is still very long, and Liverpool need to return the focus of the team to the domestic league in these two weeks.

Fortunately, because Liverpool’s city rival Everton, there is a domestic cup to play, so this Merseyside Derby, which was supposed to be the weekend after the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, will be postponed to April. This allowed Liverpool, who spent a lot of time with Atletico Madrid, to get a lot of rest during this period of time.

　　 After a rest period of more than a week, the physical energy consumed by a fierce battle with Atletico Madrid was replenished, and Liverpool’s opponent was replaced by Manchester City.

　　 Manchester City, in the league competition since entering February, there have been some signs of collapse.

　　 The team originally fought on the fourth line. Although the team made great strides, the players' physical fitness was still greatly affected.

　　 Regarding the fourth-line combat situation, Manchester City has recently fallen behind in a week of double matches, or even a three-day match.

　　 Or the players could not keep up with their physical fitness. In the game, they were unable to show their best form, which made Manchester City's game finally reduced to two and a half lines.

　　 The first to be out was the FA Cup.

　　 Before the start of the UEFA Champions League knockout round, Manchester City, which had been fighting on multiple fronts, encountered it in the draw of the FA Cup. After the beginning of the new year, Chelsea gradually recovered some of the game state.

　　 Chelsea played at home and didn't give Manchester City any face. They beat Manchester City 5-1 at home. Judging from the team's outstanding performance, there was no situation where they were on the verge of relegation in the first half.

　　 can only say that this is the strength of Chelsea players.

　　 As long as Mourinho dismisses get out of class, the team will immediately return to form spontaneously, from a relegation team before the new year to a powerful team with good strength.

　　 So, Mourinho's dismissal is not so much a poor record, as it is that the relationship with the players is too rigid, so that the players are on the court, and they can't do their best for him.

　　 Manchester City was completely eliminated in the FA Cup. In the Premier League, it was also a two-game losing streak into February.

　　Leicester City, which is at the top of the list, has come to a 10 point gap, which can be said to be hopeless.

　　 So, of course, Manchester City wants to focus all of their attention on the English League Cup and the UEFA Champions League, and try their best to compete for the highest honor.

　　 In the Premier League schedule, this match against Liverpool is a compelling matchup, and it is also a key battle that concerns whether the goals of the two teams in the Premier League can be achieved.

　　 For Liverpool, at this time, it takes victory and more game victories to catch up with the top ranked Leicester City. For the honor of the Premier League's three consecutive championships, Klopp and the Liverpool management still value it very much.

　　 For Manchester City, with a gap of 10 points from the top of the list, they no longer have any illusions about the championship this season, but this year's Premier League four teams are quite fierce.

　　 Nowadays, Manchester City, after two consecutive defeats and one less game, has fallen to fifth and fell out of the Champions League.

　　 They are only 3 points away from Arsenal, ranked fourth, and only 2 points away from Manchester United and West Ham United.

　　 It can be said that Manchester City shifted its focus to the Cup, especially the long-awaited Champions League competition for the championship, it is not impossible, but first of all you have to ensure a Champions League place in the league next season.

　　 After all, the broadcast revenue of the Champions League game is very important for Manchester City, which needs to smooth out financial statements and prove that there is no violation of the fairness law.

　　 Manchester City may not value the tens of millions of euros of funds shared by the UEFA Champions League broadcast, but they value such book "revenue" to ensure that Manchester City is not punished by UEFA due to financial problems.

　　 In this red and blue battle, before the game, many media supported Liverpool to win at home.

　　 After all, compared with the recent schedule of frequent matches, and for Manchester City, where the team is moving, the Liverpool team's lineup is more tidy, and the players are in good physical fitness.

　　 Manchester City just finished the final of the English League Cup. Although they won the championship, Everton was in a desperate situation. It can only be said that they have dedicated a lot and have at least one champion to let the coach leave decently. It is not easy.

　　 That’s right, the work of Manchester City’s management has indeed "stunned" European football, and has also moved some of the team into action.

In February, Manchester City unilaterally announced that the team will sign with Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who has already announced that they will not renew their contract with Bayern earlier this summer. Guardiola will take his pass on football to Manchester.

　　 But such an official announcement is somewhat unfair to the current coach Pellegrini.

You know, Pellegrini’s contract is up to 2017. So, Manchester City’s work is equivalent to an explanation. I will let you lead the team for half a year, and then after the season, no matter what your performance is, even if you win 4 crowns. Wang, I also want to "fire you".

　　 When the official announced the news, Manchester City was fighting on the fourth line, and even the fourth line was likely to compete for the championship.

　　 As a result, it was an official announcement by the Manchester City management, which completely plunged Pellegrini into an embarrassing position, and the players were also moved, and Manchester City's performance was instantly moved, and there was a tendency to collapse.

　　 Especially in the two key league games after this, Manchester City has two consecutive home games, against the Spurs and Leicester City.

　　 It turned out that Manchester City, which was clearly underperforming, was beaten 1-3 by Leicester City at home, and then beaten 1-2 by the stab.

　　 Then it was a 5-1 loss to Chelsea.

　　 The direct defeat of the giants in three consecutive scenes made Pellegrini's haggard performance directly appear in the headlines of major sports newspapers.

　　 During his tenure, he was officially announced as his successor. Pellegrini, the last squad of post, is what Manchester City fans want to see.

　　 Fortunately, at least I just won a Europa League championship. Even when facing Everton, the game was a penalty shootout, but it was a champion anyway.

　　 After the difficult February, the Manchester City fans also hope that the team can regain their form and can play their spirits away when facing Liverpool.

　　 This red and blue battle is another time for Manchester City to face the giants. The previous 3 games were all lost. This time it needs Manchester City to use its good performance to justify its name.

　　 Pellegrini's starting roster for Manchester City in this away game against Liverpool has not changed much from before.

　　Although Manchester City has sufficient personnel reserves, for Pellegrini ~lightnovelpub.net~ the use of the starting list will not change much except for injury factors.

　　 Manchester City continue their 451 formation, single forward, of course, the most stable scorer Aguero in the Manchester City lineup.

　　 Fernando, Fernandinho, and David Silva are the three midfielders of the team, responsible for the defense and offensive organization of the midfield.

　　 Navas and Sterling continue to separate the left and right sides. Both are speed-type side players. Both of them appear on the field at the same time, which represents Manchester City’s wing attack and will play extremely offensively.

　　 The four-back Sabarata and Klixi are Manchester City's two full-backs, and Otamendi is a double-center-back combination of partner captain Kompany.

　　 The goalkeeper position is still Joe Hart.

　　 In fact, apart from David Silva, Guardiola's fellow, everyone else, especially the midfielders, has a great sense of crisis for the arrival of Guardiola.

　　 Barcelona and Bayern's transmission control system, everyone knows, so is he a "dish" of Guardiola? Nobody knows.

　　 After all, Manchester City's treatment is really good. If possible, everyone still wants to stay in such a team that is not bad.

Today, the most rumors outside are Manchester City’s Joe Hart. The Manchester City and the England national team are going to leave the team because Guardiola has said that he wants a goalkeeper who can pass, and Joe Hart is about passing the ball. , It really inherited the roughness peculiar to British players.

　　 This also makes Joe Hart now in the game, in addition to using his own saves to prove his strength, occasionally he will deliberately make a long pass to show his passing training results...
