Chapter 875

When the two teams have the same points, the next thing to compare is the goal difference. Liverpool has 19 more goal difference than Manchester City, so as long as Liverpool beats Manchester City, even by 1-0, Liverpool can become the Premier League champions!

The game is coming soon!

On May 5, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester City appeared at Anfield at the same time, and fans of Liverpool and Manchester City also sat in the stadium at the same time.

Many commentators came to the scene and commented while watching the game.

For this kind of game, you must be present to commentate on the scene so that the fans in the live broadcast room can feel the real atmosphere of the game. This sense of reality will fascinate the fans!

Three o'clock in the afternoon on May 5th!

"Dear fans, the 2021th round of the Premier League, the most important Premier League match of the 2022- season, the super battle that will determine the Premier League champion is about to begin!"

"Manchester City and Liverpool are the two teams with the best performances in English football this season and have played brilliantly in all competitions."

"Manchester City has been leading the Premier League and reached the final of the FA Cup. Although they lost to Liverpool in the end, the overall situation of the Premier League championship is currently in their favor."

"Liverpool's performance this season is beyond words. After Lin returned from injury in the middle of the season, the whole team's performance has been completely renewed. Gakpo and others have continued to improve. They have also been catching up and overtaking in the league, and finally came to the second place in the Premier League, and narrowed the gap with Manchester City to three points."

"And their enthusiasm for offensive tactics has also earned them a goal difference advantage. As long as they can beat Manchester City, they can achieve a Premier League comeback and win the Premier League championship!"

"At the same time, they also won the Premier League and FA Cup, and reached the final of the Champions League. If you have seen Liverpool's performance in the first half of the season, you must not believe that they will win so many championships, but they did it!"

Gullit, Scholes and Rivaldo began to show the starting lineups of both teams on the big screen.

"Judging from the starting lineup Guardiola has arranged, Guardiola should not go against Liverpool. After all, they can become champions as long as they remain undefeated."

"Ederson will be the goalkeeper!"

"Defenders: Stones, Ake, Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker!"

"Guardiola probably wants Stones to play as a left-back. This season, Manchester City's left-back has been changing. Laporte has played as a left-back for a while, Cancelo has played on both sides, and Stones has also changed to play as a left-back for a while!"

"There is also Zinchenko, but Zinchenko's performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup final was not good, so Guardiola did not send him to this game."

"The midfield is Fernandinho, Gundogan and Foden. Such a midfield should take into account both resilience and control. At least it will not be like the FA Cup final where they only focused on control but lost resilience and defensive power."

"The three players in the front court are Grealish, Sterling and Mahrez, and judging from the formation given by Guardiola, Sterling should play as a center forward!"

Gullit himself was a little bit unconvinced when he said this, but Sterling was indeed arranged in the center position.

"With Jesus here, you don't let Jesus play as a center forward, you let Sterling play as a center forward. I really don't understand. What is Guardiola trying to do?"

Gullit didn't understand, but Guardiola did it so that the team could counterattack.

Sterling is very fast. Even if he is not good at seizing opportunities, as long as he has speed, Manchester City can launch a counterattack.

What's more, Manchester City can accept a draw, so Guardiola decided to let Sterling start after comprehensive consideration!

"The formation that Liverpool will arrange will basically be guessed by the fans in advance. For example, there is no change in the midfielder Rodri and others. Joe Gomez is still the starting right back. As for the front, Gakpo plays as center forward, Soboslai plays as left winger, and Diaz is on standby!"

When fans saw Guardiola let Sterling play as a center forward, the first thing Klopp did was to tell Gvardiol not to help Van Dijk defend Jesus anymore because there was no need.

As the home fans at Anfield shouted Lin Chen's name over and over again, the 38th round of the Premier League officially began!

Manchester City showed the tactics formulated for this round of games right at the start of the game.

Sterling, Grealish and Mahrez were at the front, while the rest of the players, even the midfielders, shrank back, and there was no connection between Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt.

"This is obviously a tie and a win. Manchester City knows that as long as they remain unbeaten they can become Premier League champions, so they will definitely adopt this tactic."

"So next we will see what offensive tactics Liverpool will use to break through Manchester City's goal!"

Seeing Manchester City shrinking its formation, Lin Chen immediately pressed forward and rushed towards Foden. Manchester City still set Foden as the main breakthrough direction in the midfield!

The 13th minute of the game!

"Foden dribbles the ball alone!"

"Lin Shang steals the ball, successfully!"

"Foden foul!"

Foden originally wanted to pass the ball to Kyle Walker, and through this pass, Manchester City won more possession time.

However, Manchester City players found that Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt were completely pressing on their own midfield and backcourt!

Even the defensive midfielder Rodri was pressing next to Fernandinho. The defensive midfielders of the two teams actually stood in the same position, which rarely happens in the game.

"Look at Rodri's position, he actually stayed with Fernandinho!"

Gullit knew that if Liverpool could go to this extent in order to score, then Manchester City's tactics of maintaining a draw and winning would definitely not continue to work.

This game will enter the offensive stage sooner or later!
