Chapter 741

Guardiola was looking at the time. This was the first time Guardiola hoped that the half-time break would come quickly.

The pressure-bread defense is not effective enough, Guardiola wants to get some extra time and come up with an additional defensive method for the team.

But the strange thing is that the game time seemed to go very slowly. Guardiola stood on the sidelines, seemingly directing the players on the field, but in fact, Guardiola had to look up at the time almost every few minutes, or ask the assistant coach if it was time for the half-time break!

The 43th minute of the game!

"McAllister, just move up and let Alisson pass the ball directly."

"Never mind their pressing, it's useless, they can't stop us from passing the ball!"

In order to complete the defensive task, Grealish has been running as fast as he can, pressing McAllister or Rodri.

But Alisson or Van Dijk can also pass the ball directly from the backcourt. Grealish can no longer run, because even if the three players in the frontcourt can execute the pressure-bread defense tactics at the same time, Liverpool has far more than three players in the midfield and backcourt who can pass the ball.

Arnold also has the ability to pass the ball, and he passes it very accurately. Whenever he presses the point where Liverpool is about to pass the ball, that player will pass the ball to other players.

Then Liverpool will let other players pass the ball, and they can still achieve good results from the backcourt!

"Arnold faces Foden, passes back to Alisson, and Grealish rushes up!"

"Alisson passed it to Van Dijk, Van Dijk pushed it to Rodri, you could see how aggressive Jesus was, but Rodri passed the ball to McAllister again."

"Liverpool's backcourt almost passes the ball according to Manchester City's pressing method. Every time Manchester City presses, Liverpool will bounce back, and after releasing the force, they will continue to push the bread crust out. Manchester City can't break them. This is the key!"

Guardiola has already figured out that the reason why the pressure-bombing bread-and-butter defense doesn't work is because the pressure is not strong enough.

The crust can’t be broken by pressure, this piece of Liverpool bread just keeps bouncing back!

And after bouncing back, Liverpool will rebound with more elasticity due to the pressure, resulting in a better passing effect. Manchester City's pressure-bounce tactics have made Liverpool play better and better!

Rodri passed the ball to McAllister, who immediately passed it to Diaz on the left.

Diaz didn't break through against Walker because Walker's defense was really good!

Immediately pass the ball to Nunes, this time Nunes chooses to play it directly himself!

Ederson rushed to the far corner and blocked Nunez's shot. Manchester City's goal was still under Liverpool's attack!

After Guardiola asked his assistant coach countless times, the game finally entered halftime!

There was no sound at Manchester City's home ground.

You seem to be able to hear the breathing of Manchester City players as they walk back to the locker room through the screen. Every Manchester City player is very tired!

However, when Gullit saw the footage of Lin Chen, he was the only player on the field who was not breathing heavily, and he seemed to be looking forward to the second half of the game starting immediately.

But judging from the data given, the 23-year-old young man in front of us is the one who kicks the best and runs the most.

"Tell me, how can you play against a guy like this?"

"Hopefully Guardiola can find more ways at halftime, he has done well enough but Liverpool and Lin did better!"

Klopp only made one substitution, replacing Diaz with Salah, with Gakpo switching to the left and Salah coming on as right winger.

Cancelo, who was attacked by Gakpo in the first half, had to face Salah who was in full health in the second half!
