"Zhao Gang!"

"Zhao Gang!"

"Little Zhao!"

"Little Zhao is here!"

"Zhao Xiwang!!"

"The Flash is here!"

"superzhao!!!!"

"it'szhao!!!!"

"Brothers, now walking towards us is the Golden Boy Award winner, the number one player in Asia, from Dragon Country, Zhao Gang!!"

When the players from both sides walked onto the field, the barrage exploded as usual when the camera focused on Zhao Gang.

Since some unknown time, when Zhao Gang appeared, the entire screen would be covered with countless barrages, causing the fans watching the live broadcast to tremble with excitement.

Some fans watching the live broadcast for the first time would be stunned and excited.

Those fans who usually liked to watch the game quietly would turn off the barrage, but for this live broadcast, they would not turn off the barrage, and of course, they would not actively send barrages. They would watch silently, with joy and excitement.

"This season, Liverpool, under Klopp's management, has seen a very significant improvement in their record, ranking behind Chelsea and firmly occupying a Champions League spot. Their style of play has always been deeply loved by fans. Klopp was able to lead Dortmund to the Bundesliga title, so I believe he will also have very outstanding coaching achievements in the Premier League.

Let's first take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. Liverpool is still using its well-established 4-3-3 formation.

In the goalkeeper position, we have Mignolet from Belgium. In the back line, Lovren and Matip will serve as center backs, with Clyne and Milner on the left and right sides, respectively.

In the midfield, we have Emre Can, Lallana, and Wijnaldum.

The three players in the forward line are Mané, Firmino, and Coutinho."

"On the bench, we also have Henderson, Origi, and Sturridge, all very strong players!"

Teacher Zhan Lu's lingering Beneteke has been dealt with by Klopp. This is good news for Teacher Zhan. He doesn't need to see this brain-dead forward who might give him a heart attack during the game anymore.

"On the Manchester City side, Guardiola has not changed his formation, still using 4-2-3-1. However, after Gündoğan's injury, Fernando has replaced him in the starting lineup. Guardiola did not choose Delph, who has been playing quite well recently. This lineup has a very good defensive effect. Fernando is better at intercepting and protecting than Gündoğan, so it seems that Guardiola is still a little worried about Liverpool's attacking ability."

"Manchester City has already achieved an amazing sixteen wins and one draw, breaking a series of Premier League records. In this game, facing Liverpool, who are also in a very hot state, I believe it will bring fans a truly spectacular clash of titans!"

"Yes, Liverpool scored 6:0 against Manchester United in the last match, and Manchester City also won a 7:1 victory! This game is likely to be a goal fest!"

*Beep!!*

The referee blows the whistle to start the game.

Liverpool chooses the side, Manchester City has the ball.

Previously, Gündoğan would hold the ball at the start, but now that he is injured, Zhao Gang is the first to receive the ball.

Zhao Gang gets the ball, but his teammates in the front field are not in a hurry to run. The Liverpool players are in high spirits, ready to wait for Zhao Gang to pass the ball and then intercept it.

Before Zhao Gang can make a choice, Liverpool's central midfielder Lallana is already approaching Zhao Gang, wanting to steal the ball right from the start!

He goes straight for the body. Zhao Gang passes the ball back, and Lallana slams into Zhao Gang fiercely, but Zhao Gang sways and doesn't fall.

Liverpool's three forwards have excellent physical qualities, are very fast, and have very strong skills. With the cheers of the fans at Anfield Stadium, they quickly launch a press.

Liverpool's three midfielders also move forward, and the four in the defense line also move forward steadily.

Liverpool doesn't think about defending and looking for opportunities at the start, they directly apply a high press.

Manchester City's four defenders and two defensive midfielders quickly spread out to receive the ball.

Otamendi kicks the ball to Bravo. Firmino rushes over, and the three forwards, in cooperation with the players rushing up from the midfield, block the passing route.

Bravo is very good at passing the ball, but in this situation, he doesn't dare to pass it casually, so he can only kick it far away, keeping the ball away from the penalty area and even Manchester City's half of the field.

The Liverpool forwards see the ball flying out and immediately retreat. Their characteristic is running, running non-stop, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

Standing in the center, Zhao Gang jumps high and heads the ball to Agüero, who is retreating.

"Well, Zhao Gang's heading success rate has been very high recently. His heading skill level is now completely different. In the game, he can even retreat to the penalty area to clear the ball with a header. His progress can be described as rapid!

Let's watch this attack!"

Liverpool's mid-front field is still rushing a bit too fiercely. Agüero retreats very deeply. After receiving the ball, he takes off his legs and charges from the middle to the right. He is short in stature, which means his center of gravity is low, and his dribbling and breakthrough ability is quite good.

When he gets the ball, Manchester City is no longer a traditional team controlling the ball and waiting for players to organize the attack.

He will attack quickly when he finds an opportunity.

Lallana moves, trying to block Agüero. Agüero has already broken through to the right and is charging all the way.

At this time, Sterling continues to lean towards the wing, both receiving and pulling.

And Zhao Gang is moving forward quickly along the center.

Liverpool's mid-front field retreats very quickly. When Agüero is interfered with and blocked by Clyne and cannot successfully cut inside, and can only continue to move towards the baseline, the center of Liverpool is already full of defensive players.

Even if Agüero has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to break into the penalty area again.

He can only push the ball to Sterling.

Before Mané can rush over to interfere, Sterling finds Zhao Gang in the center with a long pass.

Facing Liverpool's desperate marking, Zhao Gang tries to break through, but finds that these Liverpool players are indeed difficult to deal with, and their cooperation is also tacit enough, making it difficult to find very good opportunities.

He can only choose to pass back appropriately, finding Fernando who is following up.

This time, no opportunity was created, and Liverpool would not give Manchester City an easy chance to pass the ball.

They quickly press again, forcing Manchester City to run the ball.

In the past, Manchester City controlled the situation, constantly passing the ball to find opportunities, but now Liverpool is forcing Manchester City to pass the ball.

This kind of passive passing is prone to errors.

And the Manchester City backfield players trust Zhao Gang the most. Under normal circumstances, their first choice is to pass the ball to Zhao Gang in the center to control the play.

Klopp and the Liverpool players are of course aware of this mentality.

Therefore, the Liverpool players did not choose to block the route to Zhao Gang in advance, but waited for them to pass the ball, and then immediately launched an encirclement and interception the moment the ball was passed!

Sure enough, after Fernando passed the ball back and forth with the center backs a couple of times, he encountered pressure and, according to Manchester City's established tactics, did not kick the ball out, but chose to pass it to Zhao Gang at a medium distance.

Wijnaldum, who originally didn't seem to pose much of a threat, directly made a sliding tackle and successfully intercepted the ball!

"Manchester City's passing intention is still very obvious, and it was directly seen through by Wijnaldum! Watch this counterattack! Very dangerous!"
