Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

"Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart~"

"And you'll never walk alone~"

"You'll never walk alone~"

The game continued with the 55,000 Red Army fans singing in unison at Anfield.

There were less than 30 minutes left in the regular time.

2:2.

It was not only the score that was tense, but also the offensive and defensive situation between the two teams on the field after the restart.

Both teams had been running very actively in this game, which also led to the fact that at this point in time, the physical tanks of both teams had begun to bottom out.

Guardiola replaced Di Maria, who had been running actively, with Benzema to partner with Su Fei as a double center forward.

The formation changed from 451 to 442.

Di Maria contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in more than 60 minutes on the field. Both goals today were related to him.

Such starting debut data.

The Blue Moon fans who traveled with the team gave the loudest cheers to the young Argentine player who came off the field to express their respect.

"Angel, come here!"

Guardiola called Di Maria, who walked back to the bench, to his side, and the Spanish coach rubbed the back of his head.

"You did a great job today!"

"I have been waiting for an opportunity like this since I joined the team. Thank you for your trust, boss!"

"I know. I have always seen your efforts."

Di Maria smiled brightly, and Guardiola waved his hand and refocused his attention on the court.

Observing Benzema who came on as a substitute.

In fact, the main reason why Guardiola played a 451 formation today was that Cassano and Balotelli were injured and rested.

Guardiola was not sure whether Benzema, as a substitute, could quickly adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the game.

............................................................

The game came to the 70th minute.

Liverpool was full of fighting spirit after equalizing the score.

If Su Fei's tactical free kick assist was equivalent to kicking Liverpool off the cliff, then Alonso's equalizing long shot was to pull Liverpool, who were struggling to hold on to the edge of the cliff, up.

Manchester City, which switched from 451 to 442, has been trying to use the individual dribbling and breakthrough abilities of two wingers, Modric and Knight, in the past few minutes to create opportunities.

But the effect is average.

Liverpool's tenacious defense on the wing is one thing, and on the other hand, it is mainly due to the players' physical decline. It is difficult to speed up suddenly.

There is no absolute speed.

This means that Liverpool's players have time to call on their teammates for wing defense, so even if Zambrotta and Sun Jihai are very active in joining in, it is difficult to achieve significant results in a short period of time.

Su Fei realized the dilemma the team faced on the offensive end.

He chose to move back.

This can provide some support in the midfield, and at the same time allow Manchester City to increase the option of attacking in the middle.

Going around in circles.

Su Fei, who used to play as a front midfielder this season, returned to the position he had gradually adapted to and was familiar with.

......

79th minute of the game.

Liverpool attack.

Another long shot attempt from Alonso was held in James' arms.

James quickly kicked the ball to Cannavaro.

Cannavaro saw Su Fei reaching for the ball in the center circle, and sent a long pass forward without hesitation.

Su Fei immediately got to the landing point of the football, and faced Mascherano who came to confront him, and stood still.

Facing the incoming ball.

Pushed Mascherano away, jumped violently, and fought for the ball accurately.

Headed the ball.

The football was headed by Su Fei to Modric on the left.

Modric chose to dribble and accelerate after unloading the ball, and faced Babel who was rushing up, and quickly cut the ball and changed direction.

"One-on-one on the wing!"

"Modric's instant start speed is very fast!"

"He passed Babel!"

"But Babel stuck very tightly and didn't let Modric get rid of him completely!"

"Risser!"

"Take the initiative and prepare to double-team Modric with Babel!"

On the court, Modric stretched out his elbow to block part of Babel's physical confrontation and barely controlled the ball under his feet.

But seeing Liverpool's left-back Risser who was inserted into the defense, facing the imminent double-team, he had to chooseStop and pull the ball to get rid of it.

Turn sideways.

In this moment of gap, quickly observe the position of nearby players and look for teammates to respond.

"Luka! Here!!"

Modric's eyes lit up, and when he saw Su Fei approaching him, he pushed the ball over without hesitation.

After Su Fei headed the ball to Modric, he had already predicted the difficulties that Modric might suffer.

So while following up, he always maintained a safe passing route between himself and Modric.

Tacit understanding needs no further explanation.

Modric, who gave the ball to Su Fei, immediately bypassed Babel and ran without the ball from the side to the rib area.

Then.

In the gap in the corner of the penalty area, he successfully received the return pass from Su Fei.

"Su Fei!"

"Modric!"

"The two of them cooperated in a tacit way in the area, and staged a textbook-level two-on-one!"

"Su Fei's support was really good!"

"Modric!"

"Fake shot and real pass, suddenly turned back and knocked the ball to Benzema at the top of the penalty area!"

"Benzema!!"

"Took a step!!"

"Then he chose to shoot directly!!"

"This ball..."

The Frenchman, who had been worrying Guardiola since he came on the court, seized this opportunity to show himself.

With a weak but tricky push shot, the ball was sent into Liverpool's goal.

"GGGG---OOOO----AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!!"

"GOAL!!!"

"GOAL!!!"

"GOAL!!!"

"Benzema!!!"

"With a pass from Modric, the Frenchman Benzema used a seemingly effortless shot to help Manchester City once again lead Liverpool!"

"3:2!!!"

"The game has reached the 80th minute!!!"

"This goal!"

"It is very likely to be a key goal that determines the final outcome of the game. This is a near-kill!"

"Substitute surprise player!!!"

-【Benzema is awesome!!! I will never say that it's all Benzema's fault in the future! 】

-【So this wave is all about Benzema? 】

-【To be honest, Modric's pass was really beautiful. He rushed into the penalty area with the ball, attracted the defense, turned around and faked a shot, and passed the ball. It was so comfortable! 】

-【I am not exaggerating. To be honest, Su Fei is the core of this round of attack. He coordinated the midfield, supported the defense, and passed the ball back...】

-【All credits! The most important thing is that we, Manchester City, are going to win, haha! !】
