Chapter 248 Returning to Camp Nou, Li Mingyu was warmly welcomed
There was a huge hole in Liverpool's defense, and the middle of the penalty area was wide open.
After Li Mingyu overturned Nanye Takumi, he wiped past him, and suddenly found that the opponent's midfielder was out of position, and the defender was also involved by his own forward, so he didn't dare to step forward to make up for it.
How could Li Mingyu miss this kind of opportunity!
Li Mingyu took a step forward with his right foot, swung his right leg, and kicked hard in the middle of the football.
Seeing Li Mingyu's actions, Van Dijk yelled inwardly that he was not good, and immediately abandoned Jesus to come up to block him.
However, due to the distance, Van Dijk had no time to block Li Mingyu's shooting angle.
The football whizzed past Van Dijk more than a meter away.
Van Dijk hurriedly looked back, the goalkeeper Alisson flew sideways, fully stretched his body, and touched the edge of the football with his fingers.
But because the power of the ball was too great, Alisson was unable to change the direction of the football, and could only watch the football crash into the goal behind him.
Alisson, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but hammered the ground bitterly.
The entire Anfield stadium fell into complete silence.
The Liverpool fans were horrified. They looked at Li Mingyu who raised his arms high in the middle of the field and looked around. They were surprised by his long shot 35 meters away from the goal.
2:4, Li Mingyu's goal dealt a heavy blow to Liverpool's morale.
Klopp bit his nails, squatted on the edge of the field, and frowned at Li Mingyu on the field. How should such a player deal with it?
However, after the Liverpool fans were silent for a while, the passionate singing sang again at Anfield.
Listening to the more passionate singing, Li Mingyu couldn't help feeling that the Red Army fans should be regarded as the top fan group in European football.
Not coming here at your peak, nor leaving you at your lows, this is Anfield, this is Liverpool fans.
However, even in the cheers of the fans, Liverpool failed to rewrite the score again.
In the end, the score of 2:4 was maintained until the end of the game.
In the third round of the English League Cup, Manchester City defeated Liverpool and successfully advanced to the next round.
The opponent in the next round is likely to be a team in the Premier League.
Sure enough, after all the third rounds of the Carabao Cup, the situation in the fourth round also appeared, and Arsenal once again appeared opposite Manchester City.
Guardiola scratched his head depressedly.
With such a dense schedule, the English League Cup and the upcoming FA Cup are all games that Guardiola will give up.
Originally this season's English League Cup and FA Cup, Guardiola was going to be on the full bench + youth team lineup.
But Li Mingyu has just arrived and attaches great importance to every honor, so Guardiola can't beat him, so he can only arrange the main lineup.
In the following FA Cup on January 1th, it is impossible for Guardiola to let Li Mingyu play, because January 9th is the fourth round of the English League Cup, facing Arsenal, and on January 1th in the Premier League, Manchester City will return to their home court to face the challenge of Liverpool again.
However, on January 1, there is still a Champions League group match to be played.
For Manchester City, there is basically no suspense in the Champions League group stage. As long as this game is tied, they can qualify as the first in the group.
Li Mingyu returned to Barcelona again and came to Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou.
This is the place where he once fought, where his dreams were broken, and where he was most unwilling.
When Li Mingyu walked out of the airport, he found that the outside of the airport was already surrounded by fans.
"Lee, welcome back!"
"Welcome home, Lee!"
"You are our eternal pride!"
"Son, come back!"
……
With all kinds of slogans, Barcelona fans greeted Li Mingyu who returned to his hometown with the most sincere enthusiasm.
Li Mingyu's heart was agitated. When he left Barcelona, although he didn't do it voluntarily, he always felt sorry for the fans here, so he chose to leave without expressing anything to the fans.
Li Mingyu felt a little ashamed of his timidity.
The fans here didn't blame him. Everyone knew that Li Mingyu didn't leave voluntarily.
Laporta's office glass is hardly ever a good day.
Especially after Li Mingyu won the "Grand Slam" in the World Cup, the fans became even more angry.
Such a good player, the cornerstone of a team for at least ten years, was sold by you.
A violent thing!
Laporta originally signed Li Mingyu, and after renewing Messi's contract, his reputation reached its peak all at once.
At that time, Laporta was like a god in Barcelona.
Now Laporta is cast aside by everyone like shit.
Viktor Wundt, who lost the last presidential election, has had a lot of buzz lately.
However, Laporta, who still has two years in office, will not easily admit defeat. This season, the arrival of Dutch striker Depay has relieved the team's great offensive pressure.
Moreover, there are many outstanding players in the World Cup. Laporta also said that this summer, Barcelona will make big moves.
Many Barcelona fans are waiting and watching. Of course, they hope that Laporta can bring better choices to the team, and don't let Messi carry the team alone in the last few years.
That's too hard.
Li Mingyu stepped into the Nou Camp Stadium again, a feeling that was both familiar and strange made Li Mingyu feel mixed feelings.
For the first time, Li Mingyu came to the visiting team's dressing room. Barcelona's visiting team's dressing room was not much different from the visiting team's dressing room of other teams.
Obscured, crude,...
For Li Mingyu, this was really a special experience.
When Li Mingyu came to the field to warm up, the fans gave Li Mingyu more applause than Messi.
Messi and Li Mingyu hugged each other, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice before returning to their own half.
Guardiola squatted on the sidelines, looking at this familiar stadium.
Guardiola is here, getting the brightest moment of his career.
Whether it is the era of being a player or the years of becoming a coach, Barcelona is definitely the best memory in his career.
Some people say that Messi made Guardiola, while others said that Guardiola made Cosmos.
But only the two of them know that they are mutual achievements.
Without Guardiola, there may not be Barcelona's Cosmos team.
Without Messi, Guardiola's coaching career could not have started and peaked.
After all, when Guardiola left, Messi only won the Champions League once in 2015, and Guardiola has not won a Champions League since then, after moving to Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
However, this year, Guardiola is full of confidence. The joining of Li Mingyu has completely formed the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the Manchester City dynasty in his heart.
Today, the Manchester City team has won all 2022 games at the beginning of the 2023-23 season. The Manchester City team is now just like Barcelona and the Cosmos team back then, seeking defeat alone.
Li Mingyu was also warming up, with various acrobatic stoppages and powerful shots to repay the applause of the fans.
However, he ignored the resentful eyes of goalkeeper Ederson.
It's just a warm-up, do you need to use so much force?
After saving Li Mingyu's long shot, Edson flicked his wrist and looked at Li Mingyu who was in good condition with a wry smile.
Although this was no longer Li Mingyu's home stadium, the fans at the scene made Li Mingyu feel that this was his home stadium.
Li Mingyu felt very excited today.
However, for Barcelona, which is in dire straits, seeing Li Mingyu in such a hot state, he felt a bit of murmur in his heart.
Is this the only way to start fighting with your old club?
Back in the locker room, Guardiola reiterated today's tactics again.
After all, the Manchester City team has already qualified, and as long as the next two games are not a big loss, they will basically qualify first in the group, so there is no need to fight against the Barcelona team.
After all, there is still a dense schedule waiting for the team, so if you can save energy, save some energy.
If it wasn't for Barcelona today, Guardiola wouldn't have brought Li Mingyu here.
It was the first time he played against his old club, and Li Mingyu didn't want to disappoint the Barcelona fans.
When the bell rang, Guardiola clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get ready to enjoy the game, don't be too nervous, let's go!"
In the player tunnel, with a bright smile, Li Mingyu hugged his familiar teammates from the Barcelona team one by one, and said some words of encouragement to each other.
Without Li Mingyu, Barcelona's lineup has undergone drastic reforms.
The arrival of Depay has reshaped Barcelona's striker trio.
Griezmann, Depay, and Messi, these three top strikers, have made Barcelona's striker more layered.
Depay has slowly integrated into Barcelona's system during half a season of competition. He has scored 8 goals so far, second only to Messi's 10 goals, ranking second in the Barcelona team's scoring list.
As substitutes, Aguero, Fati and others can also continue Barcelona's offensive system well when they come off the bench in the second half.
In Barcelona's midfield, without Li Mingyu, Wijnaldum was supported by coach Xavi to the main position. With Pedri, Barcelona's midfield was sorted out very smoothly.
Due to Busquets' injury, although De Jong's single midfielder seems a bit weak, but after learning from Busquets for two seasons, De Jong's interception ability has now made a qualitative leap.
But on the back line, it is still Barcelona's weakest link.
Although Pique participated in this World Cup with the Spanish team, he only came off the bench in a few games, and his performance was very average.
At the age of 35 this year, he is already showing signs of fatigue, his footsteps have become much slower, and his turning around is not as flexible as in the past, which often becomes a loophole for the opponent to break through.
Langley's performance was good and time-lag, and he didn't know when he became Iron Man. His defense like mercury pouring down the ground made people can't help but sigh the talent of this player.
However, sometimes, low-level mistakes also make Barcelona fans want to pry open his head to see if there is a head full of shit inside.
Left-back Alba's speed is still there, and his assist ability is still very strong, but he can't come back after going up, and someone needs to help him fill his position.
Often the space behind him will become a loophole for the opponent to counterattack.
Goalkeeper Ter Stegen, as Barcelona's last line of defense, is still very trustworthy. If it weren't for the little lion, Barcelona would not be ranked No.2 in La Liga.
Looking at these former teammates who were both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Mingyu took the captain's armband and stood in front of the players of both sides with Messi, waiting to enter the field immediately.
Today's referee turned out to be the referee team of the World Cup final, the international referee Damir Skomina from Slovenia.
Damir Skomina looked back at the two captains behind him and smiled brightly.
Li Mingyu and Messi also looked at each other and smiled.
It was the same scene in the World Cup final half a month ago. Li Mingyu and Messi wore the captain's armband and stood behind Damir Skomina, waiting for the final World Cup final.
Damir Skominer glanced at his watch and said, "Gentlemen, you can enter!"
After speaking, he walked out of the player tunnel with his two linesmen, and picked up the game ball in front of the player tunnel.
Li Mingyu and Messi looked at each other. At this moment, they were no longer former teammates, but opponents.
Players from both sides walked in file and came out of the player tunnel, each holding a cute caddy in his hand.
The fans at the scene gave out deafening applause and cheers.
What touched Li Mingyu very much was that although he had left Barcelona for half a year, he looked around and saw that there were still many fans wearing his Barcelona jersey and came to the scene.
Exchange team flags, guess sides, and shake hands.
Li Mingyu accomplished what the captain should do very skillfully.
In the first half of the game, the Manchester City team led by Li Mingyu kicked off first, attacking from the left side of the screen to the right side.
With the whistle of the referee, the focus of the fifth round of Group E of the Champions League group stage kicked off.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in to the Nou Camp Stadium, and obtaining the active skill of Barcelona star Harvey: 360-degree turn and escape. 】
[Given that the Nou Camp Stadium used to be the host's home court, here, the host can also gain the advantage of the home court. 】
Li Mingyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that when he returned to Barcelona, he would still be able to gain the home court advantage. For him, it was simply too perfect.
Harvey's 360-degree turn and escape should be another famous stunt of Harvey!
