Last night was the season
England Premier Soccer League
of the final round, all the focus is on
Manchester City football club
Home to Aston Villa vs.
Liverpool (England)
At home to the Wolves, both teams actually came out of the bag, supposedly really tired and under extreme pressure at the end of the season, the
Manchester City
together with
Liverpool (England)
Meanwhile conceding the first point on home turf has the crowd in a cold sweat
home
Manchester City football club
433 with defenders Laporte, Fernandinho, Stones, Cancelo, midfielders Rodri, De Bruyne, B. Sliva, strikers Jesus, Foden, Mahrez, Villa also put out 4321 with defenders Mings, Chambers, Digne, Cash, midfielders J. Ramsey, DougliasLuiz, J. McGinn, attacking midfielders Coutinho, Buedia, forward Watkins
After the game.

It was obvious that they were in a hurry, they kept attacking from the left, and you could feel that either Jesus or Cancelo or B. Silva were trying to shoot straight after entering the box.
Manchester City football club
This side has a number of players want to quickly score to take advantage of the lead to secure the king, but Gerrard coached Aston Villa is quite stable, first of all, he will line up this 4321 is already standing dead back seven intensive defense, and then Villa's players have a very good mentality, in principle, is to stand still!
Manchester City football club
The players' best passing position, which they really can't completely shut down
Manchester City football club
But with this backfield density, it's hard to stay in the way of the
Manchester City football club
Player positives are doable
this leads to
Manchester City football club
The shots and passes in such a hurry must have gone through the front of the Villa players, most of the angles were blocked resulting in easy shots that Villa's Swedish keeper Olsen could have easily blocked, and the passes must have been quick to take the ball and pass it on, however.
Manchester City football club
This speed led to the opposition side, that is, the right side of the Mahrez and De Bruyne simply can not yet be in place or tear away from the defender, and Villa is dense defense is more difficult to take away, the result becomes the
Manchester City football club
The best quick transfer to the opposing side or 45 degrees back to the 18-yard draw trick, either the follow-through wasn't caught or that position was so one-dimensional that the Villa player could predict it, as the
Manchester City
It doesn't create a situation where players have two passing routes at all times and there could be two or three people all ready to take a shot from different angles, so
Manchester City football club
I can't get it down.

After a long period of attack, the defense had problems. At 36:00, J. Ramsey passed directly to the left side of the counterattack to Digne, who passed directly to the center of the field, and Cash, the right back at the far end, had already crept up to the front of the penalty area and scored a goal from the front of the 7-footer.
This ball Stone past the defense is slow, in fact, if he is faster, he can clear in advance or with Digne at the same time, so that Digne can not be so smooth passes, I do not know why Stones obviously on the line Guardiola let him play right back, it may be Walker has an injury, and the previous time to let Fernandinho play the right back of the time the effect is very poor to do this arrangement, but it is not the case. I'm not sure why Stones is playing at right back, but I'm not sure why he's playing at right back.
Manchester City football club
It's still a big hole without Walker on the right.
Manchester City football club
After the fall, he wanted to continue to attack, but at this point Gerrard's purpose gradually emerged, he deliberately set up the old 4321, Coutinho and Buedia in the attacking midfield, just to go to the squeeze
Manchester City football club
With only one man at the back, Rodri, Villa's counter-attacks gradually got better in the following games, with the
Manchester City football club
More interested in chasing the points, Villa were getting counter-attacks that were starting to turn into one-two's, Watkins just wasn't good enough to capitalize on them yet
At 69 Villa took advantage of the goalkeeper's goal kick and sent it straight to the front post, Watkins pulled back this time and used his physical strength to make a header on the ball, Coutinho picked up the ball and took it into the penalty area and beat Laporte before firing into the bottom left corner of the net to make it 0-2.
Pep Guardiola replaced Fernandinho with Zinchenko at halftime and Sterling for Mahrez at 56:00 in the second half to strengthen the scoring power in the penalty area, but the situation was still the same.
Manchester City football club
The players were too eager and at one point after the start of the second half all the defenders even crossed the halfway line, knowing that the limit of the offside line is the halfway line, how could this kind of pressure on Villa not be exploited? At this point
Liverpool (England)
It's a 1-1 tie, and once
Liverpool (England)
The lead will become
Manchester City football club
Losing the league title
Guardiola also brought on Gundogan at 68:00, removing the ineffective-looking B. Silva, and that substitution was the most important moment of the night, followed by Sterling at 76:00, who was barely able to get past a defender on the right and cross in front of the end line, with Gundogan at the far post coming up to force a header on goal
Then in 78 minutes Zinchenko went down the left side of the field, this time he did not pass into the penalty area but passed the ball back to the outside of the box at 45 degrees, Rodri came up and shot directly from the 18-yard box, the ball was low and high speed into the lower left corner of the net, the goalkeeper Olsen was slow to save and was equalized.
Before Zinchenko's pass, Gundogan made a darting run into the box and then a diagonal run off the offside line. It was this move that took away the center back and caused Rodri's shot to open up in the center of the net. Gundogan knew that he had to make the run and be a striker. He could have gone in at the near post, or he could have gone in behind and shot.
Manchester City football club
It's the same as going back to always having two high risk shot options in the box only after Gundogan came on.
