Gao Bo didn't know what happened in the locker room.
It's not that he can't accept losing.
In fact, as soon as Manchester City's starting lineup for this game was released, people knew that this game was not a game that Manchester City had to win.
Since April, in thirteen days, Manchester City has played four games.
If you count the league match between Arsenal and Arsenal at the end of March, Manchester City has almost continued the rhythm of three-day battles for half a month.
Fortunately, the players withstood the pressure and won the league championship. Therefore, even if they faced Liverpool in this league, Gao Bo did not hesitate to make a rotation.
Even on the bench, Casemiro, Fernandinho, Griezmann and others who have hardly been rotated have not entered the squad for the game.
Therefore, the outside world is not surprised by such a result.
Before the restart of the second half, most people believed that Manchester City's first defeat of the season was coming.
Liverpool shrunk their defense in the second half of the game and assumed a defensive counterattack posture.
There is nothing to blame for Liverpool's choice, they face Manchester City, while also leading by two goals.
What is surprising is the fighting spirit of the Manchester City players!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, they launched consecutive attacks! !
"Adam White's long shot!! BEAUTIFUL!!!"
"Mignolet was forced to make a save!!"
"Luke Shaw passed the ball into the penalty area!! Vardy Huh, just missed the post!!"
The commentators in the commentary booth had no chance to breathe from the beginning of the second half of the game.
In the stands, with every attack of Manchester City, Liverpool fans exclaimed!
"Resist their offensive!!"
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard clapped his hands vigorously on the field.
The current situation has caught Liverpool's players off guard.
The script was not what they expected. Manchester City, who had no desires and desires, played in the second half, and Liverpool also successfully scored three points at home.
Looking at the current situation of Manchester City, they obviously don't want to lose away from home! !
Gerrard frowned and reminded his teammates loudly!
On the sidelines, Gao Bo's eyes lit up.
He is very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the players.
If the players don't want to contribute in this "meaningless" league, even if the head coach wants to win, so what.
After all, the game is done by the players.
Manchester City's continuous suppression made Liverpool feel strong pressure.
After Mignolet once again resolved the danger for Liverpool, Benitez on the sidelines couldn't sit still.
He replaced striker Sturridge with midfielder No. 24 Joe Allen.
Liverpool adjusted the formation from 433 to 442, with midfielders Henderson and Gerrard in the middle, Coutinho and Joe Allen on both sides.
Reinforce a midfielder in front of the defence, adding protection to the defence.
After Gao Bo saw Liverpool's adjustment, he immediately responded.
Ten minutes from the start of the second half to now, Manchester City's offensive is very fierce, it can be said that it is only one goal away!
Since the players want to win, as the head coach, it is natural to support the players' ideas.
"Li Yuanshan!! Go warm up!!!"
Gao Bo turned his head to look at his bench.
On the bench, David Silva and Kaka are both sitting on the bench, but Gao Bo does not intend to compete with Liverpool in midfield.
Now on the court, Manchester City's three midfielders are Milner, Wanyama and Eriksson.
Compared with Liverpool's three midfielders Gerrard, Henderson, and Coutinho, the three midfielders currently starting for Manchester City do not actually have much advantage in terms of strength. It is just that Manchester City's system operates more smoothly to form a limited suppression of Liverpool as a whole.
If you want to completely suppress Liverpool in the midfield, then Gao Bo may have to replace both David Silva and Kaka.
However, Gao Bo didn't think that he needed to do so.
On the field, with two wingers Adam White and Sanchez, Manchester City can completely use the two wings to suppress Liverpool!
That being the case, it is logical to replace Li Yuanshan and strengthen the control of the high-altitude ball in the middle.
With the current situation of the two sides, Manchester City can definitely get a lot of crossing opportunities.
Li Yuanshan was taken aback.
He also got a lot of opportunities this season, but most of these opportunities were obtained in some cup games, or against some mid- and lower-level teams in the league, and most of them came off the bench.
Facing a strong team like Liverpool, although he has entered the squad for the game, he also knows that his chances of playing are slim.
After all, if you want to strengthen the offense, there are better Kaka and David Silva on the bench as options.
"What are you doing in a daze!"
Gao Bo frowned.
Li Yuanshan immediately jumped up from the bench.
"Yes, I'll go right away! Boss!"
The players on the bench laughed kindly.
Li Yuanshan also immediately ran to the sidelines and began to warm up.
There were boos from the stands.
The commentators also noticed Manchester City's actions.
"Manchester City is going to make a substitution, Chinese teenager Li Yuanshan is ready to come on stage!! Coach Gao Bo is going to replace with a high center forward!!"
Narrator Letkinson said.
On the sidelines, Benitez breathed a sigh of relief.
In Benitez's view, although Li Yuanshan is tall, he still poses a certain threat on the front line.
But he is obviously not as good as David Silva and Kaka who are doing on the Manchester City bench.
Therefore, Benitez does not think that replacing Li Yuanshan will put more pressure on Liverpool's defense.
At this time, the situation on the court fell into a balance of power.
Liverpool regained some possession in midfield, and City were equally at odds.
It's an impasse.
At this time, will Li Yuanshan be the one to break the deadlock?
Gao Bo was quite confident about this.
He immediately put on cards to enhance crossing and heading, especially Li Yuanshan, who was good at heading. After equipping the header card, Gao Bo believed that now Li Yuanshan could enter the ranks of first-class center forwards just by relying on headers.
"Manchester City made a substitution, Li Yuanshan replaced. Replaced full-back Luke Shaw!!!"
"What a bold substitution, the next defender, the next center forward! It seems that coach Gao Bo must have some ideas about this game, and he definitely doesn't agree with his team losing the game like this!"
The narrators said one after another.
Li Yuanshan stood on the sidelines, waiting for the time to play.
On the field, Sanchez took the ball and faced the full-back Glenn Johnson. He made a bottom fake and quickly cut the ball to the middle.
Glenn Johnson's turn was quick, but by the time he turned, Sanchez was already poised to shoot.
Glenn Johnson had to foul, and Manchester City won a free kick from the left side of the front field.
Dudu!
The referee's whistle sounded.
Substitution!
Li Yuan is on the mountain!
Exit Luke Shaw!
This substitution was made quickly.
Luke Xiao walked off the field quickly, and Li Yuanshan immediately entered the field after he and Li Yuanshan high-fived each other, pointing their hands. Obviously, he brought the latest tactical deployment of the head coach Gao Bo!
Sanchez and Eriksen stand in front of the ball.
This is an area where if you shoot directly, the angle is slightly smaller, but it is not impossible.
The two discussed for a while, then backed away.
Sanchez holds the ball and places it carefully.
"It looks like Sanchez is going to kick in"
However, as soon as Sanchez put the ball down, Eriksson rushed up and made a direct cross! !
As soon as Li Yuanshan ran into the penalty area, the ball came!
He was unceremonious, jumped high, and headed the goal!
The football goes over the goalkeeper's arm and hits the net!
Anfield fell into an eerie silence.
Substitution!
play!
header!
The ball goes in.
It all seems so simple
