The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 23 Play
Liverpool's attack changed to Risera's side, Kewell cut inside to the front of the penalty area, received a pass from Gerrard, and hit the goal again!

Manchester City goalkeeper James barely lifted the ball over the bar.

Still only won a corner.

This time the corner kick was replaced by Gerrard to take the penalty. Hyypia grabbed the football in the penalty area and shot with his left foot, but unfortunately it went higher again.

More than 30 minutes of continuous attack did not achieve results, and Liverpool could only slow down the pace and recover their strength.

Manchester City began to try to organize the offense.

After Liverpool's formation fell back, it obviously would not leave obvious opportunities for Manchester City.

Carragher and Hyypia firmly stared at Arnecka and Fowler, and the Manchester City midfield combination could not afford the offensive organization work in front of Gerrard and Hamann.

In the end, Anelka retreated to catch the ball and forced a long shot. The ball hit Hamann and popped out of the baseline.

"Oh, Anelka won a corner for Manchester City. This is Manchester City's first corner of the game. Who will take the penalty?"

"Anelka took the penalty himself, Sibierski!"

"Hey! Sibierski's header went wide of the post again. Anelka's pass is very accurate, but his teammates are not very good."

"Yes, it's a pity for Anelka. Originally, his talent and strength were superior to Henry's, but now Henry is the king of Highbury, and he is very popular; Anelka has been squandering his talent while wandering, far from what he should be. the height of."

"It's really helpless. He doesn't have any bad habits. It's just a matter of his personality. If he doesn't change himself, no one can do anything about him. Well, Liverpool kicked the ball..."

After Liverpool took the goal kick, the two sides competed fiercely in the midfield. Gerrard still seized the opportunity to pass a through ball. Barosz caught the ball and was about to attack the penalty area, but Dunn directly brought it down.

Dunn received the topaz God of War card, and Gerrard took the free kick and was directly blocked by the wall.

Li Tiancheng watched the two teams entangled again in the midfield, and shook his head slightly. It seemed that the first half was like this, and now it’s time for stoppage time. It’s a bit disappointing to have the upper hand but fail to score. .

Standing up and preparing to go back to the dressing room, Li Tiancheng froze in place...

Manchester City Reina split, Wright Phillips kicked the ball directly to the penalty area from the right.

This seems to be the same as Manchester City's previous attempt, but Carragher took the top, and Dudek attacked to get the ball, but he also let go!
It's incredible! ! !
Anelka accepted the gift with a smile and volleyed from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area. Carragher returned to the goal line to defend and tried to make up for his mistakes, but he could only watch the football hit the net...

0: 1!

Playing at home and taking advantage, Liverpool fell behind in the last minute in stoppage time in the first half!
The referee Ball didn't even let Liverpool kick off again, and ended the first half of the game directly!

Li Tiancheng rubbed his eyes, Manchester City players were still celebrating a goal in front of Liverpool...

This……

It really makes people speechless.

"Lee..."

Li Tiancheng was speechless when he heard someone calling him.

"Li, don't go back to the locker room, stay on the sidelines to warm up." Paco looked serious, without his usual smile.

Li Tiancheng turned to look at Benitez, who usually had a blank face, but now his face was livid, obviously very angry.

"Understood." Li Tiancheng nodded and took off his coat directly...

It was obviously not just the Liverpool players who were surprised by this result, but also the commentators from various countries.

"This is really unexpected. Liverpool had the advantage throughout the first half, but fell behind in the last second." Liu Jianhong shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Hey, this is football. Football is round, and there are no results... Alas, alas, is Li Tiancheng staying on the field to warm up? Is this going to play directly in the second half?" Zhang Lu suddenly discovered the New World.

"Oh, it's true. According to the usual practice, Li Tiancheng will play directly in the second half!" Liu Jianhong affirmed Zhang Lu's judgment.

The Huaxia fans who were standing in front of the TV immediately became overwhelmed, and the traffic of major online platforms began to skyrocket.

"It's time to wait. It's not in vain for me to wait until midnight to watch the game."

"You don't usually watch games upstairs, do you? There are plenty of kick-offs at two or three o'clock in the morning."

"Can you confirm your appearance?"

"Didn't you hear what Liu Jianhong said, it's customary to appear on the stage."

"Don't worry, the head coach can't just play around with the players."

"Wow, I don't know if Tian Cheng will use Lingbo Weibo today! If I can see it for the first time, I will be so happy."

"It's unlikely. Such a ball is hard to come by, but a breakthrough must be indispensable!"

"By the way, if you want to see it the first time, you have to watch it live, right? There is also a delay in the broadcast signal!"

"Haha, I don't know what's going on with Sun Chenghai, can he play?"

"Are there so many fans waiting to see Tian Cheng play? Where are the brothers from? I'm from Shonan!"

"Heyin fans come to report!"

"Shanyou fans come to report!"

"Yizhou fans come to report!"

"Shanzuo..."

"..."

"..."

……

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and a house in a certain community in Yuandu was still brightly lit.

"Old Li, so many people are waiting to be seen as playing football!" Xu Jingfang sat in front of the computer with a satisfied face: "There are all over the country."

"What is this? Most people don't go online at all, and the actual number is many times higher." Li Yuanchao sat on the sofa, watching the commentators analyze the situation on TV, and dealt with it casually.

Xu Jingfang turned around and looked: "Why are these two people still talking? Why isn't Cheng Cheng coming out!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, hurry up..."

The fleeting 15 minutes on weekdays now seem like years.

Until the screen on the TV changed, the screen of Anfield Stadium appeared, and the commentator's speech speed on the TV also increased.

"The second half started, Li Tiancheng came on and replaced Finnan!"

"Friends from the audience, this is the second round of the 0405 Premier League season. Liverpool played against Manchester City at home. Chinese player Li Tiancheng came off the bench at the beginning of the second half..."

Xu Jingfang didn't care to listen to what those two people said on TV, and pointed to the close-up of Li Tiancheng on TV: "It's really Chengcheng, we are Chengcheng again!"

While talking, he patted her husband's arm.

"Yes, yes, my son is on the stage," Li Yuanchao said, pulling his wife's hand away: "Just appear on the stage, why are you beating me?"

Xu Jingfang gave her husband a white look: "I'm excited!"

"If you're excited, fight..." Li Yuanchao saw his wife staring, and turned to watch TV: "Watch TV, the game is about to start..."

……

Li Tiancheng thinks that his nerves have been tempered enough, at least it has been a long time since his emotions fluctuated too much during the game.

Now, while waiting for Cisse and Baros to kick off, he couldn't help reaching out and pressing the center of his eyebrows: Calm down, calm down!don't get too excited...

Unlike the last game which lasted only ten minutes, now I have a full half, and I have enough time to announce my arrival to the whole world.

A few five-star red flags appeared on the stands from time to time, which was most likely brought by compatriots to cheer for themselves. Although it was not the first time to see the five-star red flag in a foreign country, it made people feel excited every time they saw it...
