Green Journey

Chapter 494 Manchester City is Poisonous!Toxic!
The stands around the Etihad were boiling, and tens of thousands of Manchester City fans stood up excitedly.

They frantically waved the flags and scarves in their hands, and the shouts and applause surged like a tide. The fans' faces were full of pride and excitement, and their eyes were full of fanatical flames.

In the eyes of many Manchester City fans, the 29th and 30th rounds are the last two thresholds for Manchester City on the road to the championship.

As long as they can pass, the team can launch the final impact on the Premier League champions.

Now they are pulled away by Chelsea by 3 points, but it doesn't matter, their last game is against Chelsea, and they have every chance to recover.

But the premise is that they can win until the last round and score more goals.

At that time, as long as they defeat Chelsea in the second round duel, they can also rely on the advantage of goal difference to step on Chelsea.

Fighting for goal difference, Manchester City is not afraid of anyone.

Counting the goal just now, Manchester City has scored 75 goals this season, minus the 33 goals conceded, a total of 42 goal difference.

Chelsea have only 35.

Although there is only a 7 goal difference between the two sides, this is already a very big advantage.

What's more, Manchester City fans don't think Chelsea will win a wave of 9 consecutive victories in the next 9 rounds of the league, including Manchester City, and they don't have much confidence.

In the next two months or so, as those teams that have been drowsy for most of the season wake up and start desperately fighting for relegation, the competition in the Premier League will be unprecedentedly fierce.

Those relegation teams are red-eyed, but no matter whether you are a Premier League giant or not, the team is worth hundreds of millions.

At that time, it is not impossible for the bottom one to step on the positive number one.

The reason why the Premier League looks good is because he has no real underdogs.

……

On the court, as the stalemate was broken, the competition became more intense, the scene became more exciting, and the trend of confrontation became more obvious.

In the 35th minute of the game, Chu Zheng was in the left rib area of ​​​​the center circle of his side. After evading the attack of two Liverpool players in a row by relying on delicate dribbling, he saw that he was about to be encircled and suppressed, so he directly kicked up the right half of the forward field. field transfer.

But Chu Zheng gave the ball a bit deep, on the left side of Liverpool's penalty area.

Sterling missed and the ball went straight out of the touchline.

Seeing that Milner was about to serve, the seven of Chu Zheng went directly to the flank to defend Liverpool man-to-man.

Milner saw that every teammate in front of him was surrounded by Manchester City players, so he had to choose to throw the ball to Firmino on the left wing.

Firmino stuck Walker behind him, ran towards the ball, then jumped up suddenly, headed back.

The ball rose into the air again and landed on the heads of Yaya Toure and Coutinho four or five meters away.

The two quickly started a confrontation at the landing point.

But Coutinho's physical confrontation ability was bent in less than three seconds in front of the tall and strong Yaya Toure.

But this kid was also a thief. Although he was bent over at [-] degrees, he pushed Yaya Toure's back of his left thigh madly with his butt.

Toure was pushed up and leaned back. He wanted to return the ball to Kompany, who was three meters away, but because the center of gravity was a little out of balance, the ball line shifted to the right.

The landing point is just between Kompany near the center line and Mane on the arc of the center circle.

The two started running sideways almost at the same time, rushing in both directions.

Two seconds later, the closer Kompany won.

He rushed in front of the ball and passed the ball straight down the ribs with his right foot.

Mane didn't stop, but took advantage of the trend and rushed up.

Under the eyes of everyone, in a few blinks, Stones, who was several positions ahead of Mane, was abruptly caught up by Mane.

When the two entered the ribs of the 30-meter area, Mane had already squeezed from the left side of Stones, leading by one position.

Stones threw his hands back in a hurry, but it still couldn't speed him up.

And at this time Stones is Manchester City's last defensive player.

Reason told him not to mess around, otherwise he would definitely receive a red card ticket.

"Sadio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In the commentary seat, the two official Liverpool commentators stared wide-eyed, and their mouths were not idle. They shouted Mane's name in a roaring manner, and their eyes were full of excitement.

On the sidelines, Klopp also froze, and the thousands of Liverpool fans in the stands were eagerly anticipating the arrival of the goal.

Three seconds later, Mane dribbled the ball from the top right rib of Manchester City into the penalty area.

Ederson came out quickly, trying to pinch Stones back and forth with Mane on the right.

However, as soon as he came out to the front of the small penalty area on the right, Mane, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, suddenly picked it up with his left foot.

"Shoot!"

For a moment, Edson's pupils shrank, and he quickly took two steps back. With both feet, he jumped back and stretched out his right hand to reach the ball that was about to fly over his head.

"Sadio, a very calm shot!!!" In the commentary seat, Liverpool's commentary was extremely fast.

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Before the words were finished, another Liverpool commentator beside him suddenly cheered.

"Sadio!! Mane!!!!!!"

Witnessing Mane's lob shot past Ederson and falling from the lower edge of the left crossbar of Manchester City's goal, Ittihad suddenly seemed to come alive and let out a wail.

In the phalanx belonging to Liverpool fans, there was a sudden burst of violent cheers.

The sudden wave of cheers even blew away the drizzle in front of the stands in an instant.

On the sidelines, Klopp ran past Guardiola with a jump, and then swung his signature farmer's three punches.

"what!!"

"what!!!!"

"what!!!!!"

The Liverpool fans at the scene were very cooperative. Every time Klopp threw a punch, they followed with a haha, perfect dubbing!
In the LeTV live broadcast room, seeing Liverpool equalize the score, Zhan Jun, a diehard Red Army loyalist, also became more vocal, shouting: "Sadio Mane, a calm shot broke the gate of Manchester City. He should be grateful for this goal." Manchester City captain Kompany."

Zhang Lu next to him laughed when he heard this, and said, "Company's back pass is a bit strong, otherwise Stones could catch up immediately."

"The problem lies in the distance. Such a long pass back directly gave Mane time for a long-distance sprint."

On the court, seeing Stones' resentful face, Kompany smiled helplessly.

Mane's start-up speed just now brought him great pressure, and he didn't think so much in a hurry.

Beside, the team lost the ball, and Chu Zheng was helpless.

But this is a duel between the strong teams.

As long as you fail to do well in a small link, you will be caught by your opponent and then lose the ball, so don't be careless.

And in a 90-minute high-intensity confrontation, how can any player be able to maintain absolute concentration at all times and make everything perfect.

Therefore, in a high-level duel, the fight is about the ability of both sides to seize opportunities.Whoever makes fewer mistakes is likely to win the final victory.

Of course, the part of luck is also indispensable.

Soon, Manchester City took the ball again.

On Liverpool's side, after being stimulated by the goal, the madness became more and more terrifying.

Chu Zheng and the others made adjustments after receiving the ball. Sometimes, as soon as the ball was passed to their feet, Liverpool players would pounce on them like cheetahs.

In the following games, although the pace was getting faster and faster, it was precisely because of the speed that neither side played a threatening attack.

Not long after, the referee Oliver blew his whistle directly, blowing the whistle for the end of the first half.

"Damn, these lunatics!" As soon as he returned to the locker room, Aguero took off his jersey, which was completely soaked in sweat and rain, and slammed it on the seat.

In fact, he performed very well today.

Although he didn't have many chances to shoot, he still created a lot of opportunities for Manchester City by relying on a wide range of interspersed running.

Seeing Aguero's venting behavior, the Manchester City players next to him laughed happily.

Why didn't they play hard.

Liverpool's pressing is different from Monaco's.

Monaco's pressing still allows you to catch your breath occasionally with the ball.

Not so with Liverpool.

They are like army ants in the desert, they rush forward continuously, bringing a kind of strong psychological oppression to people, people dare not relax at all, they have to be worried all the time, for fear that they will be eaten to the bones if they are not careful no deposit.

After a while, Guardiola walked in with his head high, and quickly began to analyze the deficiencies of the team in the first half of the game, and told the players how to deal with it better.

"Chu!" Guardiola suddenly yelled after the chatter, "In the second half, I need you to make more breakthroughs in the midfield."

Chu Zheng immediately raised his hand and said with a smile, "Understood, boss!"

"Kevin!"

"I'm here!"

"In the second half, withdraw your position a bit and assist Toure to play the ball!"

"Got it, head! I know what to do!"

"..."

In a blink of an eye, the 15-minute intermission ended.

Players from both sides returned to the field, and with Oliver's whistle, the second half began.

In the stands, the fans of both sides were very excited. Everyone thought that if the offensive trend in the first half continued, the game would enter a fierce stage.

However, 10 minutes into the second half, it was suddenly realized that there was no heated duel at all, only a series of funny performances.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Chu Zheng was quickly chased by Milner after receiving a pass from Sterling in the right rib area at the top of the arc.

Chu Zheng was so robbed that he couldn't turn around, so he had to lead horizontally to the middle, and then suddenly passed a high ball to Sane who was diagonally in from the upper corner of the left penalty area.

But the moment Chu Zheng kicked up, Wijnaldum suddenly pushed out in front of the top line of the arc, and happened to be stuck on the line that Chu Zheng passed forward to Sane.

Chu Zheng was forced to choose the outer route.

In the penalty area, Sane found the ball behind him, turned around quickly, took the ball out on the sideline of the penalty area, and then passed it back to De Bruyne on the ribs in the 30-meter area.

After De Bruyne took the ball, he took half a meter horizontally.

Seeing that Chu Zheng, who was on the ribs in front of him, suddenly started to retreat and run back, and drilled into the huge gap that suddenly appeared between the upper corner of the penalty area and Matip on the left free throw arc, De Bruyne swung his legs on the spot, and suddenly It is a concealed and penetrating rib through the ribs.

Even though the three in front of him, Mane, Lallana and Wijnaldum lined up to intercept, he still successfully stuffed the ball, showing the style of a passing master.

On the ribs of the penalty area, Chu Zheng used fast acceleration to follow up the inside line of Matipura half a meter longitudinally to the upper corner of the small penalty area, and then directly crossed the center and back of the penalty area with his left foot.

Although Matip was thrown away, he still fell to the ground and intercepted with a shovel, trying to reach Chu Zheng's cross pass with his long legs, but unfortunately he thought too much.

The ball still rubbed against the soles of his feet and rolled over.

At this time, on the left and right sides of the penalty spot, Aguero and Sterling hit the goal, but they were surrounded by Klavan and Milner.

Then a funny scene took place.

Aguero in the middle of the road suddenly fell on a big horse during the physical confrontation with Klavan, lying on the ground and watching the ball roll by.

On the right side of the penalty area, Sterling has already left Milner behind.

What he faced was almost empty.

As a result, when the ball arrived in front of him, he missed the ball with his swung right foot, and then fell down.

After pointing to the front right of the post, Walker fell to the ground in time after outflanking and shot, but the ball hit the outside of the side net.

Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of Manchester City fans in the stands covered their faces collectively. Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces. It is hard to believe that Manchester City would miss this opportunity.

"Chu Zheng!!!!" Zhan Jun gestured.

"Cross pass, beautiful!!!"

"This ball!..."

"Ouch, this ball!..."

"Three points outflanked, none of the kicks were scored, almost an empty goal!!!" Seeing that the ball missed, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu leaned back at the same time, dumbfounded.

Soon, continuous slow motion playback.

"Ha ha!"

"hey-hey!!"

"This is a bit obvious!"

Immediately, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were happy.

In the slow motion playback, it can be clearly seen that Aguero is suspected of diving.

Aguero started quickly and left Klavan behind in one fell swoop.

Krawan tugged and tugged behind him.

But Aguero happened to fall forward with his stomach upright at the moment when Klavan let go, when the two had no physical contact.

As if there was a delay, there was an obvious suspicion of diving.

On Sterling's side, the moment he swung his right foot, Milner, who was rushing behind him, quickly fell to the ground and slid his leg out from his crotch, but missed the ball.

On the surface, Milner is suspected of fouling.

"Milner seems to have kicked Sterling's support foot, which caused Sterling to swing empty!" Zhang Lu's tone was not very sure.

On the sidelines, Guardiola had already been knelt down by the young couple of Aguero and Sterling, with an absurd look on his face.

Three points, all missed, unbelievable.

On the field, Sterling and Aguero were constantly raising their hands to signal that Liverpool had fouled first.

But unfortunately, neither Oliver nor the bottom line referee was indifferent.

Chu Zheng was also very speechless, outflanked at three points, but missed them one by one, what else could he say?
Let the storm come harder!

Xiba!All Xiba!
For a while, Ittihad booed loudly.

However, no one expected that this was just the beginning.

Five minutes later, in the 5th minute of the game, Mane exploded from the side. This time he successfully blasted Otamendi with speed and entered the Manchester City penalty area from the upper corner of the penalty area.

As a result, facing the attacking Edson, Mane showed obvious hesitation this time.

How could Edson miss this opportunity, rushed to Mane and lay his body on the ground, then hugged the ball tightly in his arms, and Mane fell to the ground.

This time it was the turn of Klopp and the Liverpool fans to jump outside the field in anger.

But this is far from over.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Firmino ran across from the middle of the 30-meter area to the right rib area, and stuffed the ball to the outside of Manchester City's penalty area.

After Lallana got the ball from outside the penalty area, facing Otamendi's follow-up defense on the inside, he cleverly made an inverted triangle pass and passed the ball from behind Otamendi to the center.

Before the penalty spot, Stones and Kompany turned around quickly.

In the next second, after Mane, who followed up from the top of the arc, was in place, he didn't adjust at all, and hit the ball with his right foot.

But what is outrageous is that Mane, who has already helped Liverpool score a goal, was also poisoned this time.

Mane's low ball managed to pass through Kompany and Stones before hitting the inside of the lower edge of the post.

But the strange thing is that the ball did not cross the sideline and rolled into the goal, but rolled parallel to the right along the goal line.

Then Duang slammed into the other goal post again with a bang, but still missed the goal line.

Edson, who was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out, quickly pressed the ball under his body, and thick cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Simply exciting!

Seeing this bizarre scene, the fiery King Kong of Liverpool, with his smoky Tai Sui eyes widened.

On the sidelines, Klopp was also stunned. He subconsciously looked at Guardiola next to him.

After a long time, he came to a conclusion: "Manchester City is poisonous! Extremely poisonous! The kind that is contagious!"
