Chapter 1012 Don't give Su Dong any chance!
"Sky TV, Sky TV, all the audience friends in front of the TV, I am now at Wembley Stadium in London, broadcasting live for you, the [-]-[-] season, the FA Cup final, Manchester City vs. Liverpool."
"With the live TV footage, you can see that at this moment, there is still some time before the start of the game, but Wembley Stadium is already full of seats, and the stands are full of people."
"According to the news we got from the stadium before the game, tonight's game not only attracted the attention of the whole of the UK, but also attracted the attention of fans from all over the world. Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 9 people, is already full of fans and guests except for a few motorized seats."
"You can follow the camera to see this grand event. This is definitely a very rare scene. Nearly 9 people gathered in this stadium at the same time. What a spectacular scene!"
"Now, both teams are in the locker room and ready to play, and we have already got the starting lineups of the two teams in advance. Let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams tonight."
"First of all, Liverpool. The head coach Dalglish formed a [-] formation. This is a formation that Benitez used a lot when he was in charge of Liverpool. It is characterized by stability, especially in the midfield. There are five players. It has an advantage in numbers. The double defensive midfielder can ensure the stability of the team's defense."
"The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Enrique, Daniel Agger, Skrtel and Glenn Johnson, the double midfielder is Spilling and Henderson, the front is captain Gerrard, Bellamy, Suarez and Downing form a trident."
"It should be said that this is Liverpool's standard configuration, and Dalglish is relatively stable."
"It's worth mentioning that Liverpool's starting lineup ranks third in defense in the Premier League this season, second only to Manchester City and Manchester United.
"After all, the Manchester City team has a top scorer like Su Dong, and his recent form is also very good."
"Back to Manchester City, we see that the goalkeeper is Courtois, the defense line from left to right is Marcelo, Pepe, Kompany and Zabaleta, the midfielder is Busquets, David Silva and Toni Kroos are in the front, and the front is the combination of Hazard, Su Dong and Sanchez."
"There is a surprise that Di Maria was replaced by Hazard. This is a very obvious signal that Manchester City needs to strengthen the possession of the ball in the midfield, because Hazard's ability to pass and control the ball is better, and his dribbling ability is also stronger. He is one of the players who have surpassed the most times in England this season."
"Judging from Guardiola's formation, Manchester City still insists on their own style of play and has not made adjustments according to Liverpool. This is also in line with Guardiola's consistent characteristics."
"Manchester City rely most on their captain, Su Dong."
"In the past Premier League supplementary match, Su Dong played 65 minutes and scored five goals. Moreover, this is his second Premier League goal this season. His scoring efficiency is the highest in European football. It can be said that he is very efficient and also a very aggressive scorer."
"The best defense in the Premier League, and the strongest offense in the Premier League. I don't know if Liverpool's defense can bring us surprises and surprises. We even look forward to them being able to freeze Sudong."

When the Sky TV commentator was warming up for the upcoming live broadcast, the players of the two teams were making their final preparations in the locker room. Among them, Liverpool's pre-match preparation atmosphere was the most dignified.
This is not surprising, because it is difficult for any team to relax when facing an opponent like Manchester City.
Dalglish did not repeatedly emphasize the things that should be paid attention to during the game, because what should be said has been told before, and now he doesn't need to say anything more, I believe the players themselves know it well.
But he noticed the disappointment on Andy Carroll's face.
The native English high center was introduced by Dalglish, and he had high hopes for him, but after joining, Carroll's performance was not satisfactory, and even a little disappointing.
In the second half of this season, Carroll's state has recovered significantly, which makes everyone in Liverpool look forward to him, hoping that he and Suarez can form a striker partner.
One is tall and the other is flexible. Isn't this a typical combination of England's two strikers?
But this game, Dalglish chose Bellamy.
The reason, he explained to Carroll and other players in the locker room before the game, is that he hopes to use Bellamy's speed and experience, because he believes that this game will be Liverpool's counterattack, and Bellamy's role will be greater than that of Carroll.
Of course, he also promised that in the second half, when Manchester City's physical fitness declines, Liverpool will try to play a wave of onslaughts. At that time, Carroll will be arranged to come off the bench to play the role of a surprise player and catch Manchester City by surprise.
Bellamy used to play for Manchester City, but his style was not liked by Pep Guardiola, so he was forced to leave. Now he is in Liverpool and represents the Red Army in the Champions League final against his old club. Bellamy is more motivated than anyone else.
Not to mention Suarez, the Uruguayan striker is ambitious and not easy to satisfy. His goal is none other than Su Dong of Manchester City. He will naturally spare no effort to help Liverpool win.
"It's still the same sentence. After the opening, be cautious, cautious, and cautious. No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious."
Dalglish's final instructions before the game, "As long as we hold our ground and defend well, it will definitely not be easy for Manchester City to break through our goal."
For this, Dalglish and Liverpool players are full of confidence.
The third-ranked defense in the Premier League did not come out of thin air, but was worked out bit by bit by the players on the field.
"Seize the defense well and counterattack when we have the opportunity. Our midfielder can't compete with Manchester City. Pass penetration is not our specialty, so we have to pass the midfielder as soon as possible, reduce the ground ball, and directly counterattack with long balls." Dalglish said ably.
Liverpool's midfield is notoriously lacking in creativity. Even with Gerrard and Henderson in charge, the creativity of these two players can only be considered good even in England's midfield, let alone David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets.
This is why everyone concluded that Liverpool will definitely adopt defensive tactics, because they have no midfielder at all.
If you don't defend, do you have to rely on long passes to fight against Manchester City?
If this is the case, Liverpool will only lose worse than Norwich.
"Finally, I would like to say that facing Manchester City, we should not have any thoughts of conserving strength, not even the slightest such thoughts, because even the slightest slack will make us make mistakes under the opponent's high pressure."
When Dalglish said this, he looked at the players solemnly.
"Remember, guys, what you are about to face is not only the strongest team in the Premier League, but also the strongest team in Europe and even the world, especially when they have the greatest, most terrifying and most comprehensive attacker in the history of world football."
"Don't give Su Dong any chance!" Dalglish said seriously.

If the pre-match atmosphere in Liverpool's dressing room is dignified, then the pre-match atmosphere in Manchester City's dressing room is relatively relaxed.
But everyone is still a little nervous and attaches great importance to this game.
Now that we have the Premier League, we also have the League Cup. If we win the FA Cup again, it will be the Triple Crown. To win the Double for two consecutive seasons is definitely exciting, not only because of the generous bonuses, but also the honor of the players.
More importantly, there will be a Champions League final next, and the opponent is also Chelsea, a Premier League team that is good at defense.
Regardless of the number of goals conceded by Chelsea in the Premier League is not as good as Liverpool, but in fact, in the Champions League, whether it is the level of defense or the ability to fight tough battles, Chelsea does not lose to Liverpool, or even worse.
If Liverpool can't get over this hurdle, what will Manchester City do next to beat Chelsea?
Guardiola only made some arrangements and exhortations for Liverpool's starting lineup, but what should be said was basically said before the game, and Liverpool's starting lineup did not exceed the expectations of Manchester City's coaching staff.
They are all in the same league, and there is really no secret to each other, and there is no surprise strategy.
Dalglish's strategy is obviously to defend and counterattack, and let Andy Carroll, who has been in good form recently, be a surprise soldier.
Liverpool's lineup is not ample, and Dalglish hasn't been able to play many tricks, that's basically it.
The only big suspense is, will he want to make a dash at the beginning?
Or, will he make up his mind from the very beginning to strictly guard against death?
In the finals, Manchester City's strategy is also cautious, seeking a stable start.
First grasp the possession of the ball in your hands, press the game in the rhythm that Manchester City is most familiar with and favorite, and then slowly settle the opponent.
Manchester City has long been familiar with this set of procedures, and the players themselves know it well without the head coach saying anything.
Even at the end, when the captain Su Dong stood up and carried out the final mobilization before the game, Su Dong also said that he actually had nothing to say, "Because I believe that every one of you here is in the same mood as me at this moment. We all have only one goal, a common goal, and that is to bring this championship trophy back to Manchester after the game."
"I believe, and you must believe, that we have the strength to achieve this goal, but the premise is that it requires each of us to go all out on the court, and we need to be united and move in the same direction."
"Tonight, there are [-] fans at Wembley Stadium. This should be the largest game in the English league, and we will use this game to tell the whole of England and the world that Manchester City will be the king of the Premier League!"
"Good!!!" The players responded enthusiastically and applauded in unison.
