Chapter 832
Sterling was obviously unhappy to see that he was going to be substituted, but he still listened to Guardiola and quickly left the field.
Manchester City fans haven't seen much of Sterling since the FA Cup final.
In the past, Sterling's speed was at least an advantage, but in this game facing Joe Gomez, Sterling not only failed to break through, but was also blocked by Joe Gomez many times.
"Sterling played very badly against Joe Gomez in this game. Klopp let Joe Gomez start in order to limit Sterling, and his goal was achieved!"
Sterling had a very glorious period at Manchester City, but after Aguero left, Sterling seemed to have gradually lost Guardiola's trust.
Some fans even said that Mahrez's arrival was to form a new wing in the frontcourt with Grealish. Together with Jesus in the middle, Guardiola is gradually replacing the team's frontcourt players because Sterling's grasping ability has not improved.
With Mahrez coming on, Grealish can finally play as his favorite left winger, and Jesus also starts to play as a center forward. Such adjustments will improve Manchester City's ability to control the frontcourt.
But what Guardiola is worried about is that Grealish originally played as a center forward in order to increase Manchester City's ball possession time in the frontcourt.
Now the center forward has become Jesus, who prefers to shoot from the spot, which means that Manchester City's frontcourt possession time will be reduced and the number of shots will increase.
In this way, the time Liverpool's backcourt players spend with the ball will increase, and once the time Liverpool's backcourt players spend with the ball increases, Liverpool's midfielder possession time will also increase.
"Among all the Premier League teams currently, the teams with the best backcourt possession and passing abilities are Manchester City and Liverpool!"
"After Guardiola's adjustment, this game will definitely become more exciting!"
Gullit is excited in advance, and Scholes is even more looking forward to it!
Rivaldo held his chin and looked at Lin Chen. Only he noticed a detail.
When Sterling left the field, he suddenly walked towards McAllister. Then the player originally on the left of Liverpool's midfield was replaced by Lin Chen, and Lin Chen's target was obviously Cancelo!
Grealish started to try to cross the ball from the left, allowing Jesus to score in the frontcourt. The appearance of Mahrez also made Manchester City's breakthrough on the right better, and Manchester City gradually found their offensive positioning.
Grealish cut in from the left and Mahrez cut in from the right. Both of them cut in to pull Liverpool's full-backs away from the center backs. Then the cross allowed Jesus to face the center back alone and score.
This approach helps improve Jesus' success rate in scoring goals.
The 70th minute of the game!
"Zinchenko received the ball from Gundogan, dribbled forward and passed it to Grali, who stopped suddenly and cut inside. Grali dribbled the ball very rhythmically."
"Pass it to Mahrez again, and he makes an emergency stop and cuts inside!"
After receiving the pass from Glaris, Mahrez immediately stopped and passed the ball inside, then quickly passed it to the middle of the penalty area, trying to find Jesus. ”
"Gvardiol blocked the first point, Van Dijk slightly stopped Jesus' sprint, and Gvardiol took the opportunity to dribble forward, get rid of Jesus, and continue to break forward. Gundogan and Bernardo Silva were both standing far back, and only Foden rushed forward alone!
Gvadiol immediately passed the ball to McAllister, who was on the right side of the midfield and had a lot of space to organize the game.
The position substitution of Lin Chen and McAllister actually created a vacuum area in Manchester City's midfield. Foden could only continue chasing, and McAllister immediately dribbled the ball forward from the right!
Bernardo Silva continued to follow Lin Chen, while Gundogan stepped forward to defend!
