3 to 2! Liverpool have finally won at the Etihad, the first time Liverpool have beaten City's home stadium since their 2–1 win over and elimination of Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals in April 2018.
It's been four years since Liverpool finally won again, making it to the FA Cup final and making the final comeback to another champions trophy of the season (having already won the League Cup).
Liverpool can win manchester city, quite difficult, since 4 years ago, Klopp with high anti-pressure education of Manchester City, Guardiola also slowly learned to be obedient, met Liverpool, once played the backcourt backwards mode, gave up the team's usual high-level possession play, so that the field will be very open, Liverpool faced the shrinking Manchester City once had no way to do.
From the two meetings between Manchester City and Liverpool this season, Guardiola's tactical thinking has evolved again, facing Liverpool, taking a more direct way of playing, frequently hanging the liverpool full-back and the center-back combination behind the empty space, while the midfielder is responsible for the perimeter, grabbing two penalties, in a sense, this is clearly using Liverpool's way of playing, hitting Liverpool.
However, Guardiola's team has more delicate possession of the ball, and when fighting for two penalties, it is sometimes easier to compete for the ball, so, a few days ago, Manchester City's home game against Liverpool, the Blue Moon Army took full advantage of the scene, but, unfortunately, Manchester City's forward group did not give strength, this is another game that is invincible.
However, a few days later, when the two teams met again, they changed their appearance, because the Champions League knockout match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in midweek was thrilling, Manchester City paid a great price to keep the final victory, while Liverpool played in midweek with a rotating lineup, the Champions League easily advanced, the FA Cup naturally left a lot of room, and Liverpool itself is a team known for its physical strength and continuous hard-fought ability.
Although it is still an away game, Liverpool, who are waiting for work, but in the first half, they beat Manchester City, taking a 3-0 lead early, basically announcing the end of the game early.
However, it should have been a relaxed and enjoyable game, but Liverpool was still as relaxed in the second half as always, the same as the midweek Champions League match against Benfica, and inexplicably pulled two goals by the opponent, making the game suspenseful.
However, the powerless nature of the Manchester City forward is doomed to Liverpool as long as it is not too excessive, 3 goals in the hands, basically there is no danger, after this campaign, Liverpool once again showed the biggest confidence to win the four titles, that is, the depth of the lineup.
It can be seen that although Liverpool's next schedule is very tight, but Klopp's rotation is rich, many recent games can be easily won, but also to further allow every player to get a full rotation and rest, the key is that the East is not bright and the West is bright, Liverpool not only has 7 major forwards, 8 midfielders, but also a knife defender who can score and assist everyone.
