Chapter 255 Desperate Liverpool
When your mental willpower is sufficient, you will often unleash your potential beyond your imagination.
But when your mind first surrenders and then gives up, you may not be able to perform at even ten percent of your usual level.
So what a person can do depends entirely on whether his mind is strong enough.
This is the wonderful thing about human beings.
After being yelled at by Li Mingyu, the morale of the Manchester City team has improved a lot.
In fact, just now, Li Mingyu used Barak's roar to help his teammates improve their morale.
Li Mingyu really didn't have many opportunities to use this skill. After all, this skill could only be used in times of adversity.
After coming to Manchester City, Li Mingyu hasn't encountered any adversity yet!
In this game, due to various factors, the morale of the Manchester City team was severely hit. Li Mingyu seized this opportunity and used this active skill to help his teammates regain their morale.
Guardiola on the sidelines saw this scene and nodded in relief.
Guardiola has also given very careful consideration to handing over the captain's armband to Li Mingyu, who has only been with Manchester City for half a season.
The team's core midfielder, Manchester City's teammates are very convinced of Li Mingyu, and Li Mingyu's performance in this World Cup once again let people see his strength.
And when he temporarily became the captain of the Spanish team, Li Mingyu's performance was also remarkable.
It just so happened that the captain Gundogan who was hand-picked at the beginning of his season meant to be passive and sabotage, so Guardiola, who was vigorous and resolute, directly removed Gundogan's captain.
Li Mingyu became the captain of the team, which was unanimously approved by the players.
After all, for the sake of a captain, no one wants to have trouble with the prosperous Li Mingyu.
After the re-kick-off, the Liverpool players felt that the opposite Manchester City team seemed a little different.
Manchester City's offense has become smoother, and the expressions on the players' faces have become more focused.
However, Liverpool's players did not flinch.
The two teams with high morale launched a fierce struggle.
The fans in the stands cheered from time to time, this is Liverpool attacking Manchester City's goal.
Suddenly, there was another burst of uneasy boos, this is Manchester City posing a threat to Liverpool's goal.
After more than ten minutes of consecutive offensive and defensive exchanges, the two teams played a high-level offensive game, which made the fans dazzled.
This is the confrontation between the top teams in the Premier League at present, and it is really exciting.
The head coaches of both sides are also constantly dispatching troops to ensure that the physical fitness of each position does not deviate.
In the 80th minute, Liverpool's attack was successfully shoveled by Rodri in the 30-meter area of Manchester City.
Salah's pass was too purposeful, and Rodri accurately judged the route, and a beautiful tackle kept the football.
Rodri kicked the ball over to Bernardo Silva and City's counterattack was astonishingly fast.
In an instant, five players appeared in Liverpool's half at the same time.
Li Mingyu responded quickly, and Bernardo Silva sent the ball over.
After receiving the ball, Li Mingyu swung the rushing Fabinho with a very light touch.
Fabinho had no choice but to get ready to hold Li Mingyu, trying to stop Li Mingyu's fast break.
However, with a wave of Li Mingyu's hand, he directly opened Fabinho's arm that was about to grab his clothes, accelerated with the momentum, and broke through Fabinho's defense.
Liverpool's central goal was wide open.
Li Mingyu dribbled forward with the ball in the middle, Liverpool's defense could only start to recover towards the middle, and the gaps on the two wings were all exposed.
With a slight push by Li Mingyu, the football was sent to the left. Mahrez's position was too comfortable.
Glancing at the defense in the middle, Mahrez chose an inverted triangle pass.
Jesus in the penalty area has already pressed into the small penalty area, completely driving away the opponent's central defender.
The middle of the restricted area, near the arc of the large restricted area, has been completely emptied.
Li Mingyu jumped in from the back row at high speed and shot angrily. The football rushed into the penalty area like a white lightning.
However, Li Mingyu's kick wasn't very good. Generally, for long-range shots from the outside, since there are more players in the penalty area, most of the balls have to be kicked higher.
But Li Mingyu's kick almost hit the ground.
Liverpool's defensive players stretched out their feet to block, but the speed of the football was so fast that they couldn't block it.
Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson is very focused. Although there are many crowds, his sight is not blocked.
Alisson quickly sank his center of gravity and made a side attack, which happened to block the trajectory of the football.
Seeing that Alisson was about to put the football in his arms, he stretched out a leg from the crowd, lightly blocked the running route of the football, and the football bounced towards the other side of the goal.
Alisson's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the goal on the other side in disbelief.
The football hit the net.
The entire Anfield stadium fell into a dead silence.
And a figure wearing a blue and white jersey rushed out from the crowd.
Jesus.
This Brazilian boy stretched out his foot in the crowd and changed the direction of the football, so that his teammate Alisson of the national team could only look at the ball and sigh.
When Li Mingyu shot just now, he felt that his kick was powerful enough, but he didn't grasp the angle well. He felt that the threat of this kick should not be too great.
Unexpectedly, my own kick turned into an assist, helping Jesus score a go-ahead goal.
Guardiola on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
On the other side, Klopp looked unwilling. How could this kind of luck be so attached to Manchester City!
However, Klopp also forgot that Manchester City's own goal in the first half was more luck than this goal.
It's not surprising, human beings have this kind of strange trait, and what comes to mind is usually who treats me badly.
This goal hit the Liverpool players deeply, and even the fans felt a sense of despair.
Can we really beat this Manchester City team?
After the re-kick-off, the Liverpool team launched a crazy counterattack, while the Manchester City team sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and retreated to defend.
Even center Gabriel Jesus chased near the corner flag, which shows how active Manchester City's defense is.
Second half injury time.
Liverpool won a corner kick for Liverpool through Salah's breakthrough cross from the wing.
This is already the last minute of stoppage time, and this is also Liverpool's last chance to equalize.
A figure in a green jersey came running from Liverpool's half.
Goalkeeper Alisson is also unwilling to be lonely, ready to seize the last chance and contribute his strength.
There were almost twenty people, all crowded in Manchester City's penalty area.It has almost squeezed Manchester City's penalty area to the point where it is difficult to move.
Salah sent a corner kick, and goalkeeper Alisson tried his best to fight for the top, but his position was not below the point.
Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson relied on his ability to use his hands, jumped up, barely patted the football with his hands, and patted the football out of the penalty area.
The referee looked at his watch, the stoppage time was coming soon, as long as the ball was away from the goal, he would directly blow the whistle to end the game.
Outside the penalty area, Liverpool's Mane saw the football popped up and made a good shot.
However, in the penalty area, a figure rushed out desperately. Under Mane's horrified eyes, he pushed the football out with his chest, then raised his right foot and swung it directly at the football.
With a bang, the football flew high from the front of Manchester City's penalty area and directly crossed the half-court between Manchester City and Liverpool. Looking at the trajectory, it flew towards Liverpool's goal.
The referee wanted to blow the whistle for the end of the game, but when he saw the ball, he silently took the whistle down.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson stared dumbfounded at the football falling into the empty penalty area, then bounced it, bounced into the small penalty area, bounced up again, and smashed directly into the goal.
Even the teammates of the Manchester City team found it incredible.
Being able to hit the goal directly from such a long distance is not something everyone can do.
The referee made a gesture that the goal was valid, and by the way blew the whistle for the end of the game.
4:2, Manchester City once again defeated Liverpool at Anfield Stadium, completing the league's No. 16 consecutive victories.
Next, the three opponents in the league are all teams ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league. For Manchester City, there is not much threat.
As long as the team can perform normally, the best result in the history of the Premier League, a half-time win, will fall on Manchester City.
After defeating Liverpool, the morale of the Manchester City team has reached its peak.
Although the [-]-game winning streak has not yet started, the Manchester City players have already regarded this honor as their own.
This is not only a record for the Premier League, but also a record for the five major leagues.
What does it mean to defeat all other opponents in the league at the start of the game?
It shows that this team is the best team in the Premier League, there is no doubt.
Now, the entire Premier League, and the entire England, are shrouded in this blue moon.
Blue has become the main color of the Premier League.
In the last round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City did not have a main player, and finally lost 0:3 to Leverkusen.
And Barcelona defeated AC Milan 2:0.
In this way, Manchester City and Barcelona advanced to the top [-] of the Champions League with the first and second place in the group respectively.
However, Manchester City's winning streak in all competitions has also come to an end.
However, no one will think that Manchester City's approach is wrong. After all, this is a season with a devil's schedule, and the health of the players is the most important thing.
Up to now, in many teams, many players have been injured due to excessive fatigue, which basically happens every day.
The medical team of the Manchester City team will check and evaluate the physical condition of each player every day to ensure that the players' bodies will not cause unnecessary injuries due to fatigue.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Guardiola did not send any main players as usual, and continued to let the youth team coach Maresca lead the team.
Facing the League Two team Chelten, Manchester City's youth army once again slaughtered their opponents.
The score of 10:0 can't help but make people look sideways.
Although the opponent is a team from the second division, such a score is indeed a bit exaggerated.
The coach of the youth team, Maresca, has also attracted the attention of many teams, and many teams in the League One and even the Championship have thrown olive branches at him.
But Maresca is very clear about himself. The young team who just came to Manchester City did not make any convincing results. He just led the team to participate in two FA Cup games. Even if it is a big victory, it is not all due to him.
The strength of the Manchester City team lies there. Facing the teams of League One and League Two, victory is inevitable. Even if it is a substitute lineup, it is very strong.
In order to allow Li Mingyu to get a good rest, Li Mingyu was put on the bench when facing No. 13 Norwich in the next league.
In the first half, the score of 2:0 made Li Mingyu, who was sitting on the bench, even more bored.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Norwich City 3:0, taking another step towards their [-]-game winning streak.
The UEFA Champions League knockout draw ceremony also concluded at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The final result made Manchester City feel pretty good.
The teams that reached the round of sixteen are:
Group A: Liverpool, Zenit St Petersburg.
Group B: Juventus, Arsenal.
Group C: Manchester United, Real Madrid.
Group D: Bayern Munich, Shakhtar Donetsk.
Group E: Manchester City, Barcelona.
Group F: Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund
Group G: Chelsea, Napoli
Group H: Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon.
Draw rules:
Teams from the same country do not play against each other.
The group first does not touch each other.
The group second does not touch each other.
The first and second of the same group do not touch each other.
The group first hosts first and then the host, and the second group first hosts and then guests.
When the lottery was drawn, Manchester City was the first to be drawn.
After all the firsts in the group are drawn, the second order of the group will be drawn.
Li Mingyu and Guardiola at the scene looked at the hands of the guests who drew the lottery with serious faces. No one wanted to meet a strong team so early.
No one wants to meet Real Madrid in the second place in the group.
Real Madrid had a good momentum, but De Bruyne was injured in the European Cup and failed to participate in the last three Champions League group matches. Therefore, Real Madrid finally ranked second in the group.
However, De Bruyne has recovered from his injury recently, and he will definitely be able to catch up with the Champions League knockout rounds.
Therefore, a complete Real Madrid, no team is willing to encounter.
In the end, the lottery guests took out the note in the ball and read out the name on it!
Naples!
A relaxed smile appeared on the faces of Guardiola and Li Mingyu.
