Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 258 This is Anfield, but Liverpool is desperate! (Ask for a monthly pass!)

"With this draw, it feels like Bayern is going to enter the final again!"

"To reach the finals for three consecutive years, I asked who else?"

"Do you look down on Atletico Madrid so much?"

"I have a hunch that Bayern may overturn!"

"Hehe, then I thought Real Madrid would lose to Manchester City!"

Seeing the result of the draw, the fans talked a lot.

The mainstream view is that this signing is very beneficial to Bayern and Real Madrid, and they have great hopes of advancing to the final.

Of course, some people hold different views, thinking that Atletico Madrid and Manchester City can cause some troubles for Bayern and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's mouthpiece, Marca, believes that Real Madrid needs to take Manchester City's opponent seriously, especially in the first away game.

"Manchester City's home record this season is very good. They have only lost one game at home so far. It is not an easy task to capture the Etihad Stadium."

Aspen also believes that with Manchester City having a superstar like Lin Quan, Real Madrid must go all out, and any carelessness will pay a heavy price.

However, whether it is Aspen or Marca, they all feel that Real Madrid will have a better chance of winning as long as they go all out!
"On the way to the tenth championship trophy in team history, Real Madrid will overcome all difficulties. No matter who stands in front of Real Madrid, they will be crushed by Real Madrid!"

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

The semi-finals of the Champions League will start on April 4. Manchester City will host Real Madrid in the first leg.

This game is very important. If you can't win Real Madrid at home, I am afraid that it will be bad luck when you go away.

It's just that it is too difficult to win Real Madrid with Bell and Ronaldo.

The Manchester City club also seems to be very aware of the difficulty of reaching the final, so Fahim personally stepped forward to decompress the players and coaching staff and let them concentrate on playing in the league.

"Our set goal this season has been completed, and now every step is making history. Whether it succeeds or not, you are the heroes of the team."

Of course, having said that, there is still a dream, what if it succeeds?

Fahim immediately stated that if Manchester City can eliminate Real Madrid and reach the final, the club will issue a huge bonus of 1000 million pounds at one time.

Hearing the bonus amount, the players couldn't help but become short of breath.

1000 million pounds, more than the annual salary of most players in the team!
Leaving aside honors and such, even if it's for money, I still want to overthrow Real Madrid!
Seeing the morale of the players soared all of a sudden, Pellegrini was a little bit dumbfounded.

Sure enough, money is touching!
Not to mention the players, he, the coach, was all tempted.

……

On April 4th, the third day after the end of the Champions League match, the Manchester City team took a bus to Liverpool, dozens of kilometers away, ready to go to Anfield to challenge the declining giants-the Red Army Liverpool!

As one of the four giants of the Premier League, Liverpool has not won the Premier League championship for more than 20 years.

Liverpool's last British top league title was won in 1989-1990, before the Premier League was restructured.

Since the restructuring of the Premier League, Liverpool has never won a championship.

Coincidentally, the time when the Red Devils' meritorious coach Ferguson came to Old Trafford coincided with the time when Liverpool fell.

Before Ferguson came to Manchester United, Manchester United had only 7 championship trophies, while Liverpool had 19.

By the time Ferguson left, Manchester United's number of championship trophies had soared to 20, surpassing Liverpool and becoming the most successful team in the history of the British top league.

Ferguson fulfilled his promise, not only won 13 Premier League championship trophies for Manchester United, but also kicked Liverpool off the throne with his own hands.

Now, after finally retiring this old guy, the Red Army has also shown signs of recovery.

Their record this season is very good. After 33 league rounds, their points have soared to 74 points, which is 13 points higher than the final points of last season!
With this point, after a four-year absence from the Champions League, Liverpool will finally be able to return to the Champions League next season.

Not only that, but there are still 5 rounds of the Premier League that have not been played. Liverpool still retains the hope of winning the championship in theory, although the hope is not very great.

But for the Red Army who once created the miracle in Istanbul, how can they give up without fighting until the last moment?

At present, Liverpool is 7 points behind Manchester City at the top of the list. If they can beat each other at home, the difference will be reduced to 4 points.

After this game, there are still 4 rounds before the end of the league. Whether they can win the championship depends on whether Manchester City will continue to make mistakes.

But in any case, if they want to retain the hope of winning the championship, they must win Manchester City at home. Otherwise, Manchester City will return to the home court in the next game. As long as they win, they will win the championship three rounds in advance.

Even a theoretical hope is enough to make Liverpool fans who have not won a championship for more than 20 years crazy about it.

Besides, even if they can't win the championship in the end, they have to beat Manchester City.

After all, watching others make money is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself.

The Liverpool fans were very 'enthusiastic'. The Manchester City bus was stopped by them on the road before it approached the stadium.

"Go to hell, Manchester!"

"Get out of Liverpool!"

"We'll beat you to tears at Anfield!"

If it's just abuse, then it's nothing. Manchester City actually encountered this kind of thing when they went to other away games.

There are many football hooligans in the UK. Some crazy fans will not only block the visiting team's bus, but even go to the visiting team's training ground and make noise outside the hotel where they stay, interfering with their training and rest.

If they only use their mouths but not their hands, then that's fine, but I'm afraid that if they use their mouths and hands again, it will be a bit troublesome!

There was a loud bang, and someone threw something towards the bus.

A mineral water bottle with half a bottle of water hit the window of the team bus, startling Javi Garcia who was by the window.

It seems that what they were most worried about happened!

Seeing that the faces of the Red Army fans wearing Liverpool jerseys were the same color as their clothes, the expressions of the Manchester City players in the car became serious.

This group of guys drank a lot of counterfeit alcohol, and these fans who drank too much would easily behave irrationally when they got hot-headed.

Facing the surging Red Army fans, in order to ensure the safety of the players, Manchester City's team leader immediately chose to call the police, waiting for the police to help disperse these fanatical fans.

After receiving the news, the mounted police patrolling outside the stadium rushed to the scene quickly.

Every round of the Premier League game, there are a large number of police outside the stadium to maintain law and order.

They are very experienced in how to deal with these fanatical fans. With the help of the mounted police, the Manchester City bus moved forward slowly and finally arrived at Anfield an hour later than the scheduled time.

Because it was much later than the scheduled time, Pellegrini had no time to explain the tactics. He asked all the players to go to the stadium to warm up and adapt to the field.

Time is running out, and the players must be warmed up before the game starts.

Manchester City players were booed by Liverpool fans as soon as they stepped onto the pitch.

"Honestly, I was very annoyed when I heard their booing, and I had the urge to teach them a lesson!"

The anger in the hearts of the Manchester City players, who were made hard to guard by the Liverpool fans, was rising.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

When I come to play away games, the most fearful thing is to be frightened by the opponent's home momentum, and then play timidly and play abnormally.

Looking at the state of Manchester City players, this concern can be dispelled.

Of course, anger also has a bad side, that is, it is easy for players to lose their minds and make some impulsive choices.

For example, fouling at an unnecessary position and time, and then receiving a yellow card or even a red card.

On the court, some players specialize in this kind of thing. They use small moves in defense and trash talk in their mouths to stimulate the opponent's players, irritate them, and make them make mistakes.

The most serious thing was Zidane's shocking crash in the 2006 World Cup final, which knocked off the French team's championship trophy!
Qi Zu, who was irritated by Materazzi's trash talk, made a big mistake because of his irrational behavior on the field, which prevented his career from coming to a successful conclusion!
At Anfield, Manchester City seem to have such signs.

Wait until the players have finished warming up and return to the locker room.

There are only ten minutes left in the game, and Pellegrini didn't talk about tactics.

He asked the players: "Do you see that sign on the wall facing the tunnel?"

The players didn't know what the head coach was going to say, but they nodded obediently.

"Very well, can someone tell me what is written on it?"

"This is Anfield!"

Someone reminded him in a low voice, it seemed that he really regarded his head coach as a bad old man with low energy and forgetting things easily.

The brand at Anfield was established by the legendary coach Shankly of the Red Army, and it has a history of 50 years so far!
In the entire Premier League, and even the entire Europe, as long as players who have visited Anfield Stadium, no one knows the existence of this brand.

Because it stands on the facing wall at the entrance of the players' tunnel, players on both sides cannot avoid seeing it on the way back from the field to the locker room.

"What did you say, I didn't hear it!"

"This is Anfield!"

The player who was asked repeated what he had said aloud.

"Yes, this is Anfield!"

Pellegrini waited until the other party repeated the previous words aloud, and introduced in a eloquent tone:
"This is Anfield, it's a great stadium and the toughest home in the Premier League!

The owner of this stadium - Liverpool, they hold 19 league titles and 5 Champions League titles. In front of them, we are nothing! "

Pellegrini's words made the Manchester City players very depressed. Why did the head coach sing praises for the opponent before the game started?

Isn't this growing up others' aspirations and destroying one's own prestige?

Lin Quan glanced at Pellegrini. The Chilean said such things before the game, certainly not to damage the morale of the players.

Sure enough, I saw the blank and astonished eyes of the players.

The Chilean engineer smiled slightly and said:

"But, so what? Liverpool's glory belongs to the past, but we are on the road to creating legends.

One day, our Manchester City will become like Liverpool, even more brilliant than Liverpool! "

"Go, step on the pitch from here, snatch the victory and the championship from Liverpool, tell them, you old things, hold your pride and continue to sink, the new era belongs to us Manchester City!"

What Pellegrini said made the players excited.

What Manchester City fans and players care most about is that others talk about history, heritage and the like in front of them.

Because Manchester City doesn't have these things.

They are a nouveau riche, or a nouveau riche who has just risen.

And what they faced at Anfield was the team with the deepest history and the most honors in the Premier League!

Such a huge gap was originally easy to make Manchester City players feel inferior.

But now, there is no inferiority complex, there is only a strong fighting spirit and the urge to step down a giant like Liverpool!

……

Stepping into the player tunnel, the Liverpool players looked at their opponents curiously, as if they wanted to see the panic and anxiety of a country bumpkin coming to Anfield from the opponent's face.

However, they didn't see what they wanted to see.

Manchester City's players were not panicked or nervous, but all of them looked eager to try.

It seems that they can't wait to start the game!

Hmph, just posturing!

After the game starts, I will let you see the true strength of Liverpool at Anfield Stadium!
At 19:[-], with the whistle of the referee, Liverpool's home game against Manchester City officially began.

Before the game started, the Red Army fans in the stands had already started singing.

They sang the famous "Never Walk Alone".

Under the instigation of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, Liverpool launched a fierce attack on Manchester City, trying to quickly defeat the opponent with offense.

Coutinho, Sterling, Suarez, Skrtel and other Liverpool players were extremely active on the offensive end, which attracted applause and cheers from the fans.

However, their opponents did not appear to be intimidated by their onslaught.

Manchester City has been extremely proactive since the opening.

They played against Liverpool boldly in the away game. Lin Quan, Aguero, David Silva, Keylor Navas and others also frequently threatened Liverpool's goal.

The two teams played against each other at Anfield!
Liverpool fans were stunned to see their opponents so bold.

Few of the teams that came to Anfield dared to play against Liverpool.

Manchester City is so arrogant!
They sang even harder, wishing to lend all their strength to the players on the field, and let them ruthlessly kill the guys on the opposite side!
The pace of the game was very fast. After only 15 minutes in the first half, the two teams completed a total of 10 shots, with an average of one shot per minute and a half.

Such a fierce attack means that there will definitely be no fewer goals in this game.

Sure enough, the first goal came in the 16th minute of the first half.

Liverpool's midfielder Sterling received a pass from Suarez, entered the penalty area and passed Demichelis, then pushed a shot from the near corner and completed the goal first.

Liverpool temporarily leads 1:0!

Sterling's goal ignited the atmosphere at Anfield, and Liverpool fans celebrated wildly as if they had won the game.

However, after only 1 minute, Manchester City equalized the score.

After David Silva and Lin Quan finished colliding with the wall, the latter dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper with a cross in front of the goal, assisted Aguero with a shovel shot and scored, Manchester City quickly equalized the score!
The score became 1:1!

"Damn, why don't these damn Manchester people refuse to die honestly?"

The Liverpool fans were very angry. They had just started to celebrate, and many of them hadn't finished celebrating before their opponents scored.

It makes them feel like they ate a fly!
However, what made them more uncomfortable was yet to come.

In the 27th minute, Kroos took a corner kick. Yaya Toure hit the post with a shake of his head.

Manchester City completed the reversal in the away game, temporarily leading Liverpool 2:1.

Lin Quan's goal temporarily stopped the singing at Anfield. Liverpool fans seemed to have forgotten to sing, and they all stared at their goals in dumbfounded.

That's it, lagging behind?

Not only did they withstand Liverpool's offense, they even took the lead in the counterattack?

This made Liverpool fans suddenly have a bad feeling in their hearts!
After finally breaking Manchester United, Liverpool's record has improved a lot this season. Many fans of the Red Army feel that this is a sign that their team will rise again.

However, Manchester City's two goals within 10 minutes were like two basins of cold water poured on them, making them sober instantly!
What they are facing now is the top of the Premier League, not a fish belly!
After a brief loss of voice, the fans of the Red Army once again sang the team song in unison:

Through the wind!

Through the rainstorm!

Let the world laugh at your dreams!

Keep going!

you'll never Walk Alone!
……

Under the singing of the fans at the scene, the Liverpool players were all excited, frantically attacking Manchester City's goal again and again.

Finally, in the 37th minute, Liverpool scored another goal.

Skrtel received a Gerrard cross and headed past Lescott.

2-2!

Liverpool tenaciously equalized the score!
The fans of the Red Army were excited again, singing and dancing to celebrate.

It seems that the equalizer is also something to celebrate!
However, Manchester City is like an unbeatable little strong, tenacious and frightening.

In the 43rd minute, De Bruyne sent a deadly through pass. Lin Quan turned offside and went to the meeting single-handedly. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he easily passed him, pushed the empty goal successfully, and scored twice.

3:2, Manchester City once again took the lead.

Liverpool fans are going to despair!
Why is the opponent so tenacious!

　Ask for a monthly pass!
