Chapter 307
Then Lin Yi suddenly appeared in front of him, and then a shadow flew past his eyes.And he just waved his arms upward subconsciously, but didn't touch anything...

At the same time, his body froze in place, kneeling on one knee, maintaining the movement of raising his hands, as if he was raising his hands in surrender.

The football was already in the goal behind him.

He was confident that no ball could break through his fingers, but this time it was blasted away...

"Lin Yi!! Lin Yi!! Lin Yi!! Lin Yi! Lin Yi!!! Lin Yi——!!"

"The third time! Lin Yi sent the football into Manchester City's goal for the third time! He completed a hat trick against Manchester City!"

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi turned around and glanced at the football. After confirming that the football was indeed in the goal, he turned around and ran away.

The game ended with 10 minutes left, and Liverpool already led Manchester City by two goals.

Lin Yi's third goal was a fatal blow to the morale of the Manchester City players.

Although 10 minutes were left for Manchester City, Manchester City was two goals behind...

Scored two goals in 10 minutes to equalize the score...Liverpool is not a soft persimmon that they can bully easily. How easy is it?

Liverpool's defense is indeed not neat enough, but when Liverpool is determined to defend, their goal is still difficult to break.

The difference between two goals will inevitably make people feel discouraged.

Although the situation was difficult, Sterling was unwilling to give up.

He knew it would be difficult to score two goals, but that was no reason to give up.

He looked at the expressions of his teammates, gritted his teeth, and then suddenly shouted on the court: "Cheer up! The game is not over yet! We still have a chance!"

His voice surprised everyone, because whether in Liverpool or Manchester City, Sterling is not the kind of player who likes to make noise on the court, and he is not the kind of person with leadership qualities.

Sterling is indeed not the kind of person who can boost morale. His teammates all looked at him, but he did not strike while the iron was hot and say something to boost morale. He wanted to use his actual actions to awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates.

So after the game restarted, he ran aggressively as if he had just been substituted.

In the 805th minute, he passed Salah with the ball from the wing and then chose to pass the ball low. As a result, the ball was cleared by Toure who caught up.

In the 808th minute, Sterling entered the penalty area and wanted to take a shot. As a result, Skrtel poked the football out first. The football fell right at the feet of Sterling, who had been following behind. He shot with a flick of his foot!

But the football hit Skrtel's thigh and changed the line, missing the bottom line!

"Sterling's shot! Oops! It was blocked! What a pity..."

There was a sigh of regret from the stands.

Sterling had no time to feel sorry for this. He quickly ran to the baseline, went to the ball boy to ask for the ball, then personally took the ball to the corner flag area, set it up for Fernandinho who was serving, and then ran back restricted area.

Seeing Sterling trying so hard to score a goal for Liverpool, many Liverpool fans were yelling at him in the stands and in front of the TV at this moment.

Sterling also knew in his heart that the attitude he showed would be hyped by the media after the game, and at the same time provide Liverpool fans with a reason to scold him.

But at this time, he no longer cared about what Liverpool fans thought of him. He simply didn't want to be the backdrop for Lin Yi's hat trick. At least when compared by the media, he didn't look so embarrassed.

A corner kick was taken, and Aguero hit the ball, but it was higher than the crossbar. There was no second attack, and there was no second corner kick. The ball returned to Liverpool's feet.

At this time, it was already the 809th minute. The fourth official raised the stoppage time sign on the sidelines because Joe Hart was injured not long after the second half started. The waiting process for treatment was very long. In addition, Manchester City The controversy caused by the offside goal, as well as Lin Yi's slightly longer celebration for the third goal, the injury time of this game was as long as... 9 minutes!

As soon as the injury time came out, Liverpool's head coach Klopp was not satisfied. He went to the fourth official and yelled at him, asking him why there was such a long stoppage time.

In fact, of course he knows why it is so long, but fighting for the interests of his own team does not matter whether it is right or wrong. He must put pressure on those who should put pressure.

In addition to Klopp being dissatisfied, Liverpool fans are also dissatisfied.As Liverpool supporters, of course they will not be reasonable, but only look at their position.There is nothing wrong with this at this time. If Liverpool had benefited from injury time, the Etihad Stadium would have been booed at this time.

Pellegrini stood on the sidelines and looked at the court seriously.

Next to him, the assistant coach was shouting loudly into the court: "There is still time, there is still time! Seize the opportunity! Don't give up!!"

He roared until his voice was hoarse.

The other Manchester City substitutes also stood up from their positions, stood on the sidelines, and shouted anxiously: "Come on! Guys! Come on!!"

But in fact, I don’t know if their roars can really be transmitted to the ears of their teammates on the court, because now the Etihad Stadium is filled with the sounds of Manchester City fans, including boos and cheers for the team. There were roars of encouragement and singing.

"In the 9 minutes of injury time, if Sterling's goal could be scored, they would now be only one goal away. Then it would be much easier to score another goal in the remaining 9 minutes... And Now, they have to score two goals. I’m not saying that Manchester City can’t do it, nor that it’s impossible, but in terms of probability, this is indeed a bit low..."

In the 901st minute, Sterling fired again from outside the penalty area. The football was shot out by Mignolet and flew to the right.Kolarov rushed forward and wanted to pass the football directly to the goal, but instead kicked an anti-aircraft gun. The football turned a weird arc and flew high over the baseline.

"Kolarov's ball... He didn't have any Liverpool players around him at the time. He could have stopped and passed it again. Although it is said that there is not much time left for Manchester City, is this too anxious? Doing this It completely destroys our own morale!"

Liverpool then took a goal kick.

This time, instead of pushing forward from the backcourt, Mignolet kicked the football to the frontcourt with a big kick. Royce jumped up and pushed the football back to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi got the ball in the center circle. Facing Francisco's pressing, he turned around to protect the football and was not in a hurry to release the ball. On the one hand, he did not have a better passing target, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay it a little longer. Time, even if you can let the football stay here for one more second, it will be delayed for one more second.

But how could the Manchester City players not see what he wanted to do?

Francisco was squeezed behind Lin Yi, while De Bruyne rushed from the side and kicked the football away from the side, knocking Lin Yi down at the same time.However, this time the referee did not blow the whistle for a foul, but ran forward with the football.

Lin Yi, who fell to the ground, spread his hands and looked helpless, while Klopp roared again off the court.

Duan Xin questioned: "Isn't this a foul? De Bruyne must have obviously kicked Lin Yi's supporting foot, right? It should be a foul anyway, right?"

But no one can change the referee's decision.

Lin Yi also quickly got up from the ground and participated in the team's defense.

Manchester City used this counter-attack to launch another attack, but unfortunately Sterling's long-range shot was too forward and was hugged by Mignolet.

In fact, this is not a very difficult football to save. Mignolet can catch the ball by leaning forward, but he still lies on the ground after catching the ball, which consumes a little more time.

It was already the 903rd minute of the game, and Mignolet delayed for several seconds before getting up from the ground.

The boos from the stands at the Etihad Stadium completely drowned out other sounds, and these boos were directed at Mignolet.

After Mignolet got up, he kicked the football forward with a big foot. However, he did not reach the middle of the court, but deliberately kicked it to the left side of the court. The football crossed the center line, deflected to the left, and was close to the goal line. After being idle for a while, he flew out of the touchline in front of Manchester City's bench.

A throw-in ball was given to Manchester City, but in order to serve this throw-in ball, Manchester City must have someone running over to throw the ball, and someone to catch the ball, which all takes time.

In order to delay time, Liverpool even used throw-ins.

In order to save time, Manchester City worked harder. Their goalkeeper Caballero rushed out of the goal when Mignolet was playing like this. Not long after the football flew out of the sideline, he ran over. He took the football thrown by his teammates off the field, threw the football into the field with great force, and threw it to the center back Kolo Toure who was retreating to receive the ball.

Then he quickly ran back to his goal.

Every second counts.

In fact, Manchester City fans and players should know that there are still 5 minutes left before the end of the game. If you want to score a goal in these 5 minutes, the chance is very low, let alone two goals in a row.Liverpool's goal is not always open to welcome guests, so how can it be possible to score so easily?

There were no miracles, but that was a situation where the two sides were tied and whoever scored the goal would win.

As the game time passes by second by second, there are really not many opportunities left for Manchester City. They must accept reality.

Manchester City's substitute players were still standing on the sidelines, staring blankly at the court with their arms folded.

They knew in their hearts that there was no chance for this game!

The noise in the stands was also quieter than before. Some fans covered their mouths with their hands and couldn't make any sound.They also know it in their hearts.

Manchester City's offensive continues, but they can only use long shots and crosses from the side to attack, which is very inefficient and not very effective.

As time went by, Manchester City's players became increasingly impatient.

Fernandinho received a yellow card for a counter-attack foul.

However, Royce also received a yellow card for deliberately delaying the game time.

After Liverpool's free kick was taken, it was not played forward, but passed to Lin Yi's feet, allowing Lin Yi to control the rhythm.

When Kolarov saw Lin Yi getting the ball, he charged forward aggressively. He first hit Lin Yi from the side, causing Lin Yi to lose his balance.

But even though he had lost his balance, Lin Yi still hooked the football to his side and did not let Kolarov stop.

Kolarov was unwilling to let Lin Yi go. At this time, his goal was probably not to steal the ball. He raised his hand to push the unbalanced Lin Yi to the ground, and went to get the ball with his feet.

But at this time, the referee's whistle has sounded, and Kolarov fouled!
Lin Yi, who fell to the ground, rolled up, got up from the ground, and then pushed back at Kolarov: "What are you doing? Are you playing football?!" He asked Kolarov loudly.

Kolarov was already on the receiving end of the fire, otherwise he wouldn't have pushed Lin Yi to the ground so roughly, it was almost like wrestling.

Seeing that Lin Yi dared to question himself, he became angry.

Lin Yi was completely Manchester City's nemesis today. He was the one who scored three goals. He was the one who made Neuer injured and got off the field. I had wanted to get rid of him for a long time!

So Kolarov, with blood rushing to his head, reached out and pushed Lin Yi to the ground with all his strength.

Seeing Lin Yi being pushed down by the opponent for the second time, how could the Liverpool players endure it?
Kolarov was immediately surrounded, and Manchester City players came up to protect the opponent.

Fortunately, this move was not too big, and both parties were restrained and did not make any big moves.

The referee came up and quickly stopped the conflict. Lin Yi continued to lie on the ground and delay for a while. The time was still running. The total game number was 907 minutes, and there were only 2 minutes until the end of the game. In this way, there was no How much time is left for Manchester City... The score is still unchanged. This conflict can basically declare that Manchester City has lost this game.

Then the referee called Kolarov to his side, raised his hand and got a red card!
"Oh! Red card! Kolarov was sent off! This result is not unexpected. Considering the severity of his foul just now, it is normal to give him a red card. The first foul was very bad, and the second foul was even more serious. Man, crime plus one! Kolarov's performance in this game was not good. His foul and red card at the critical moment completely ruined Manchester City's hope of winning the game, although the hope was slim... In a sense Say, Kolarov behaved like an undercover agent of Liverpool today..."

Then the players on both sides were warned, and the game resumed!

After this conflict, although there were still 2 minutes left in the game, it was obvious that both players were not interested in playing.Manchester City knows that they cannot win this game, and Liverpool is naturally not willing to waste energy and energy on dealing with Manchester City.

So it stands to reason that although this conflict should have been supplemented, after only a symbolic extra minute, the referee blew the whistle to end the game at one minute of the game.

"The game is over! One hundred minutes of fierce competition has finally come to an end! Liverpool has defeated its rival for the league title head-on!"
