Manchester City's targeted counterattack in the second half put Liverpool under considerable defensive pressure.

This pressure is not only the pressure of not being able to win this strong matchup, but also the pressure from the Premier League era. Liverpool, a giant, has never won the league championship.

When the championship trophy is in front of your eyes, as long as you win this game, Liverpool can be on the standings and widen enough points gap. For many Liverpool players, it is normal for many players to have some ups and downs in their hearts.

In this regard, for the Manchester City players, the pressure of the game is the same, and Manchester City cannot afford to lose either.

However, another fact is that in recent seasons, Manchester City has been in the championship group all the year round. Last season, Manchester City also won the honor of the Premier League championship.

Now for the Manchester City team, just like last season, as a chaser, behind the leaders, waiting for the top team to make a mistake, they rush forward to compete for the championship trophy.

This also makes the mentality of the final stage of the game, for Manchester City, must have more experience than Liverpool.

This experience, reflected in this key direct match, is the Manchester City players, slowly becoming the better side of the field, even if Liverpool still occupy the lead.

Perhaps Manchester City was really confused by Liverpool's use of home court advantage at the beginning, but using substitutions and tactical adjustments in the midfield, Manchester City found the rhythm of the game in the second half and successfully gained the initiative on the field.

The continuous creation of threatening offenses has also allowed Manchester City to narrow the point difference. The one-goal gap may be a threat to the goal.

Liverpool is now under greater pressure.

7 points change 4 points or 3 points, in the case of Manchester City one less round, Liverpool's schedule after the pressure will be huge.

Liverpool, which cannot tolerate reversal, can only increase the defensive range of the players at the end of the game and desperately strengthen the defensive interception ability on the defensive end.

Destroying Manchester City's offense, hoping to keep the team's one-goal lead.

However, the vigorous Manchester City can still create a threatening attack, especially Aguero, who came off the bench in the second half, has excellent physical fitness as a foundation, and played an extremely bright performance in the second half of the game.

Aguero, although he did not have much advantage in the fight against Yang Feng, as the number of matches against Liverpool increased, he also found the most suitable way to deal with Yang Feng.

In the past, Aguero, who prefers to be in the middle and wants to control the end of the team's offense, in this game, most of the time, he pulls the side or retreats outside the penalty area to receive the ball.

Aguero wants to force Yang Feng to attack and defend, creating space for his teammates to intersperse into the Liverpool penalty area.

And if Yang Feng guards the penalty area, then for Aguero, although he is not an orthodox winger or midfielder, but in the penalty area outside the ball, relying on his comprehensive almost ability, Aguero can also dribble through the front , Or bottom, or long shots, but they can also create a direct threat to Liverpool.

Yang Feng's defensive fatigue is very big.

As the second half of the game progressed, the entire Liverpool defensive line, under the continuous impact of Manchester City, was suffering the double test of physical and mental strength.

And Yang Feng is the point where Liverpool's defense consumes the most energy.

Although he can't completely follow Aguero's defense, Yang Feng also needs to take into account the defense of Liverpool's entire team. In the game, Yang Feng's defense is the entire penalty area.

It is not only necessary to consider the marking of Manchester City's offensive players, but also to completely lock up the penalty area and limit Manchester City's penetration pass.

Even when Yang Feng is off the ball, he will keep small steps, so that he can have the fastest reaction speed, rush to any position in the penalty area to complete the defense.

Yang Feng's jersey was soaked with sweat a long time ago. However, Manchester City's offensive continues. As long as they lead by one goal, Manchester City still has time and opportunity to create miracles on the away game.

Yang Feng also wanted to find a chance to contribute to the team, but Manchester City did a very meticulous set-piece defense in the second half, but it also made Liverpool no longer have the opportunity to use set-pieces to threaten opponents.

In the second half, the two corner passes to Yang Feng were suddenly increased by Manchester City's defense, which restricted Yang Feng's header.

Suarez's pass was also touched by Clichy's toe. There was not much threat. Manchester City's two central defenders were on the pass route.

However, Kompany, who stabilized the entire game, made a mistake at this moment.

With a big foot without much interference, Kompany actually kicked and kicked the football on the outside of the instep, and the ball flew to the penalty spot.

Even Demichelis, who was so tired that he retreated into the small penalty area, could not complete the defense in the first time.

Coutinho retreated directly to the penalty spot, stopped the ball and pulled a step, before Demichelis and Kompany doubled up to grab the spot, he volleyed directly.
