Chapter 874

These two games will determine whether Liverpool can become a quadruple champion, and will also determine whether Liverpool still has hope of winning seven titles!

"Manchester City has been leading the league for the entire season, and as long as they don't lose in the 38th round of the Premier League, even if they are tied by Liverpool, Manchester City can still become the Premier League champions."

"So I think Manchester City clearly has the upper hand and they have a better chance of becoming the Premier League champions this season!"

Rivaldo analyzed the 38th round of the Premier League in a realistic manner, while Gullit responded to Rivaldo with just one sentence.

"You are right, Rivaldo, but you need to consider one thing, Liverpool have Lin in their squad."

"And Lin is the player in world football who knows how to win trophies the best. Plus Liverpool's recent form is very good. I think Liverpool will beat Manchester City at Anfield!"

If Gullit hadn't mentioned Etihad, Rivaldo would have overlooked this point.

"Wait, this game will be played at Liverpool's home ground?"

Rivaldo took a look at the game analysis and found that it was true. In the 17th round of the Premier League, when Manchester City and Liverpool met for the first time in the league, the game was played at Etihad. After the game, a video of Firmino and Fabinho hugging and celebrating became a hot search.

Therefore, in this game, the two teams meet for the second time in the league. According to the rules, the game will be held at Liverpool's home stadium.

"In terms of stadium advantage, I think the two teams are equally likely to become Premier League champions. Manchester City can win as long as they don't lose, but Liverpool has the home advantage."

Guardiola is also thinking about this question.

Since the team is going to Anfield to play against Liverpool, we must consider all aspects of the game.

The first thing is how Manchester City can win the Premier League title. Should they attack with all their might, score goals like crazy, or just make sure they don’t lose?

Obviously, the latter is the correct answer.

Guardiola summoned all coaching staff members on May 5!

"Three days later, in the 38th round of the Premier League, we will go to Anfield to play against Liverpool. Our goal is to win the Premier League championship, so we need to think about the tactics of the day."

"I think the safest way is to fight for a draw and win!"

Lillo, Guardiola's most trusted assistant coach at present, is also very good at formulating defensive tactics, just like the assistant coach role that Zabia plays in Liverpool's coaching team.

"I'm not saying we should stop attacking but at Anfield, if you play against Liverpool, you can't stop them from scoring goals."

"But if we use control tactics to consume time, we will consume their players' physical strength from the first minute of the game, and at the same time focus on defense. When we have the ball, we control the ball, and when we don't have the ball, we defend!"

Lillo's tactics made Guardiola's eyes light up.

Yes, the passing and controlling tactics is indeed my favorite tactic, but at this moment, the most important thing is what tactics can win the championship!

"Think about the moment when Spain won the World Cup. In 2018, Spain, which always liked to play passing and controlling, started to defend and counterattack. It was also in that World Cup that Liverpool's Lin officially became a legend!"

"So in order to become the Premier League champion, we can also use this method! After all, this tactic can increase our chances of at least not losing!"

Guardiola has made his decision, and all fans know without a doubt that Klopp's tactics will be offense.

Because Liverpool can only become the Premier League champions by winning, there is no other choice!

Liverpool only has a goal difference advantage and is three points behind Manchester City. Therefore, after winning Manchester City, Liverpool will get three points, while Manchester City will not get any points. The three-point gap will be equalized by Liverpool.
