Chapter 135: Guardiola’s God-level Middle-Back Waist-Wavy Tactics! (Ch 135)

“Attack me!”

“Attack fiercely!”

“I know this is at Anfield, but there is no need to feel any fear, we are here today to regain the top spot!”

Guardiola turned on the projector, and the top comment was Barnett’s comment on himself.

“This little bastard openly provoked us before the game, saying that I was a bald old dog!”

“A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!”

“In tomorrow’s game, we will play against Liverpool at Anfield!”

“We will use our new tactics and show Liverpool the gift package we have carefully prepared, and show them what real football is!”

At the pre-match tactical mobilization meeting, Guardiola tried every possible means.

He was thinking so much that hair was about to grow on his head, just to boost the morale of all the players. In his opinion, this was a game that they could never lose, and even a draw would be unacceptable to Manchester City.

The decisive battle for the top spot, whoever wins between Manchester City and Liverpool will stay at the top.

And if the game ends in a draw, Liverpool will still remain at the top of the table, so for Pep Guardiola, there is no choice but to win.

Pep Guardiola worked all night, in fact he had been working on a new tactic since arriving in the Premier League.

With the gradual proficiency in recent training, Guardiola believes that Manchester City has the ability to play this tactic, and that Manchester City’s current lineup is becoming increasingly perfect.

Guardiola studied this tactic in order to help Manchester City win the championship at critical moments.

The outside world is talking about this game, especially Pep Guardiola, who moved into Manchester City with very high expectations, spent a lot of money, and bought many players.

Including England’s young central defender Stones, offensive midfielder De Bruyne who is hailed as the future top midfielder in football, and the small and fast winger Sterling who was poached from Liverpool.

With the German genius Sane, English superstar Kyle Walker and others, Manchester City’s lineup has been completely renewed!

On February 15, Liverpool fans at Anfield entered the stadium singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Everyone was cheering and looking forward to the start of the final battle.

All major live broadcast rooms were opened simultaneously, and countless online fans flocked in, waiting to watch the battle for the top spot.

In the Huaxia live broadcast room, it was the fans’ familiar Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu who were introducing the starting lineups of both teams to the fans.

“Dear fans, Manchester City’s current lineup is full of stars. There is almost no position that can be said to be weak, and there are many superstars in the team.”

“Both sides submitted their starting lineups two hours in advance. For Manchester City, the goalkeeper is the Brazilian star, the modern goalkeeper Ederson.”

“Although his goal-line saves have been criticized by fans since he came to Manchester City, his ball control and passing skills are indeed excellent.”

“On the defensive line, the left back is Danilo, who is also from Brazil, and the right back is Kyle Walker, the most popular right back in England today.”

“The central defender combination, the hot-tempered boy Otamendi from Argentina, and the young English defender Stones.”

“In the midfield, we have Fernandinho, who is also from Brazil and has rich experience, accurate tackling and plenty of stamina.”

“On the left is Lin Chen’s teammate of the Spanish national team, David Silva, who is known as the top magician in today’s football world. The midfielder on the right is from Belgium, and is known as the best textbook template for a modern offensive midfielder, De Bruyne!”

“On the left side of the forward line is the German genius Sane, who is extremely fast and has a delicate breakthrough. The right winger is from England, a former Liverpool player and the hated one of Liverpool fans, Sterling.”

“Aguero is the center forward. He has the highest goal efficiency in the Premier League today and is about to break many records. He has the potential to become the first person to score a hat trick in Premier League history. He is called a super striker who averages one goal per game by fans, Sergio Aguero!”

After the introduction, tactical analyst Coach Zhang spoke.

“There is no doubt that what Liverpool need to pay most attention to is marking their Aguero, this guy is too strong.”

“As long as you give him a little space in the penalty area, he can score the ball.”

“Violent volleys, precise lobs, and small-angle shots are all his specialties.”

Live broadcast room fans.

“This is undoubtedly the strongest squad in the Premier League right now.”

“To be honest, if we only look at the strength on paper, Liverpool should be beaten badly by Manchester City.”

“What worries me most is Liverpool’s defense, which may not be able to resist Manchester City’s offensive group.”

Coach James then began to introduce Liverpool’s starting lineup.

“Liverpool also have the strongest lineup they can field, with Mignolet in goal.”

“Robertson is the left back in the defense line. It is worth noting that Alod, who is strong in attack but weak in defense, is on the bench on the right back. Joe Gomez starts the game, and the central defender combination is Lovren and Matip.”

“Three midfielders, two of them are in the back, Emre Can is partnered with Henderson, and Lin Chen is at the front of the midfield.”

“Left winger Mane, right winger Salah and center forward Firmino are also the Red Arrow trio that the Premier League fears!”

“But now someone has put Lin Chen together with the Red Arrow Three Heroes and given them a group called the Extraordinary Four.”

At this time, the starting players of both teams had already entered the player tunnel. Lin Chen stood at the end of the team, and on his right was Aguero, whose face was full of cynicism.

The players from both teams high-fived and hugged each other in a friendly manner, then stepped onto the court.

The two teams are simply competing for the championship and there is no mortal enemy between them. On the contrary, there is a kind of mutual respect between strong teams.

All the fans at Anfield immediately burst into cheers and roars. This is their home ground, and Liverpool fans will not give Manchester City a good face.

In such a top battle, facing such an opponent, Lin Chen looked around the stadium, looking at every face that was distorted with excitement, and listening to the thunderous cheers.

The whole stadium echoed with You’ll Never Walk Alone!

As if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, Lin Chen’s body functions were quickly mobilized, and he just wanted to rush forward as quickly as possible!

A moment later, the game begins!

Manchester City kicked off first. Aguero had just passed the ball when he suddenly noticed a figure flashing past him!

It was Lin Chen, attacking and strangling like a mad dog!

There were not even any fans sitting in the South Stand of Anfield. Everyone was standing and watching Lin Chen running wildly on the field.

At the same time, Liverpool pressed forward on all fronts and began to implement super high pressure!

Klopp knew that Manchester City would play a possession-based strategy, so high pressing was the best way to stop City from attacking from the back.

“From the rhythm at the start of the game, it was clear that Liverpool was going to play a super high pressure, a modified version of the high pressure created by Klopp.”

“Even when the goalkeeper has the ball, Liverpool players have to press forward to prevent Manchester City from organizing attacks from the back.”

“The great legend McA… Oh no, it was Cruyff who once said that in the football world, only the attack organized from the back is the most threatening, and Guardiola is obviously an absolute believer in this concept.”

Liverpool originally wanted to use super high pressure to force Manchester City’s backcourt system, but Lin Chen soon discovered that no matter how high he and the Red Arrows pressed, they could not steal the ball.

Manchester City’s backcourt conduction was very stable, and Stones, who played as a central defender, frequently pressed forward to the defensive midfielder position to receive the ball.

When Stones presses forward, Danilo and Walker will return to the central defender position to form a three-center-back formation.

A tactic that no one has ever seen before has emerged!

“Manchester City’s new tactical system and formation allow them to firmly control the rhythm of ball possession. What is this tactic of letting the central defender go to the defensive midfielder position or even the central midfielder position to participate in ball possession organization?”

“I’ve never seen that before!”

Even the experienced coach Zhang was surprised.

“What kind of tactic is this??”

“Could it be…”

“Mid-back??!”
