But no one expected that Pellegrini would actually move Tang Long to the front line!
Just a few minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack.
This time, Caballero and Ranocchia played a crucial role in alleviating the pressure from Liverpool's pressing in the backfield.
Caballero is actually a goalkeeper with very distinctive traits; although he's not tall and his goalkeeping skills are not as good as the regular starting goalkeeper Joe Hart.
But this Argentine goalkeeper has quite good footwork!
Faced with the rabid pressing of Milner and Firmino, Caballero remained calm.
First, he did a fake pass to dodge Milner, then gently nudged the ball just as Firmino was about to make a move, passing it to Ranocchia, who came to meet it in an open space~
This move made Pellegrini, who was watching from the sidelines, feel his heart in his mouth; the veteran coach covered his heart involuntarily and took a few deep breaths.
