Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

Chapter 514

Liverpool's record in the Premier League has been up and down. The Red Army, which is in a rebuilding period, often loses points to weak teams.

But facing Manchester City, they always hit hard.

Last season, Manchester City had an unstoppable trend in the Premier League, but they did not have any advantage against Liverpool.

This time Manchester City's away game at Anfield made Klopp feel a little desperate.

Manchester City broke out with a fierce fighting spirit.

After taking the lead 2-0 in the first half, Manchester City was still full of firepower in the second half, and finally defeated Liverpool 5-1.

This is the biggest score difference Manchester City has achieved in the hundreds of years of history between the two sides, and it is also Liverpool's most painful defeat in the league in the past decade.

Zhao Yi played well in this game, scoring three goals and breaking Liverpool's unstable defense into pieces.

Klopp's proud high-pressure pressing was obviously stretched under the dispatch of De Bruyne, Zhao Yi and Gundogan.

Liverpool's core player Coutinho lost himself on the field like a child in the high-tempo confrontation.

He made eight mistakes in the whole game. He was on the left and happened to meet Zhao Yi, who replaced Sterling as the right forward. Coutinho didn't even dare to attack with the ball in the end. After receiving the ball, he quickly passed it back, fearing that Zhao Yi would take the ball away.

In the post-match interview, Guardiola praised the team's performance.

"Liverpool has always been a tough opponent. We are going through a difficult schedule. My players have withstood the pressure.

Especially after Zhao returned to the team...

He provided us with sufficient offensive firepower and also made stable contributions on the defensive end.

Yes, he can do whatever he wants on the court.

I don't know what words I should use to describe him.

He can play any position except goalkeeper.

Yes, except Ederson, any starter on the court may be taken away by him.

Pele is the greatest player I have ever heard of, and Zhao is the strongest player I have ever seen.

Messi?

Messi has always been my favorite one, but he is not the strongest.

At his peak, Messi was not as good as Zhao's performance last season.

So I rejected the Golden Ball Award for the best coach. I don't think their award is well deserved.

Am I a little too much?

God, they gave the Golden Ball Award to others."

Guardiola has always given people the impression of being a modest gentleman, low-key and emotionally intelligent.

But recently, what he said to the media always made people think he was Mourinho.

He always believed in leaving a way for others so that they could meet again in the future.

But this time, he did not leave any face.

He gave Zhao Yi absolute support, and Zhao Yi also returned this support.

He publicly confirmed that he would stay in Manchester City and would not choose to leave.

He will definitely create a real football legend with Guardiola.

The reporter asked about the contract between Zhao Yi and Manchester City.

"Yes, Zhao has completed the contract renewal with Manchester City in advance. I don't know the specific salary and bonus situation.

At this disappointing moment, I, Manchester City's management, and all the staff stand behind Zhao.

We will provide him with all the support.

After learning that he missed the Golden Ball, Zhao did have a period of depression, which is incredible.

Fortunately, he has come through now, just like his performance on the court.

He is still omnipotent.

He is still full of competition and full of desire for victory."

"The Golden Ball has changed the selection rules? When we played against Liverpool?

I don't know the details." Guardiola listened to the reporter's narration and nodded.

"This is exciting news... They think Ronaldo's career is more successful than Zhao's, so the Ballon d'Or was given to Ronaldo...

Then Messi should have won all the Ballon d'Ors."

Klopp was a little helpless about the loss of the game, "Last season we were able to play back and forth with Manchester City.

This game... We really have no better way.

Everyone saw that Super Zhao might be a little angry for not winning the Ballon d'Or, and he should be angry.

His pressure on the court made his opponents breathless.

No one could keep up with his pace, and it was difficult for his teammates to keep up with that fast pace.

It's hard to imagine that a player who defeated all opponents did not get the highest honor...

I don't know what happened.

The Ballon d'Or has changed the rules?

Why?" Klopp blinked his big eyes, a little curious.

He listened carefully to the reporter.

Klopp understood immediately.

"France Football" couldn't stand the public opinionThe pressure is gone. Rather than changing the selection mechanism, it is better to explain why Zhao Yi did not win the Ballon d'Or.

This explanation is pale and powerless. It is better to directly admit that there is a problem with the selection mechanism.

Not wanting to admit mistakes, and not having the courage to bear the consequences, can only shirk responsibility in this way.

"France Football" believes that it was selected by journalists from various countries. The main responsibility does not lie with them, but because Zhao Yi did not have a long and successful career.

Klopp nodded, "I hope this will make the selection fairer."

Klopp expressed his doubts and did not really criticize "France Football" and the Ballon d'Or.

Because he did not need to really turn against the Ballon d'Or.

But another Premier League head coach, Mourinho, is different.

Mourinho also knew about the changes in the Ballon d'Or after the Manchester United game.

He asked a very real question.

"How long did Messi and Ronaldo have in their careers when they won the Ballon d'Or for the first time?

Have they won seven titles?

Have they broken so many European goal records?

I cannot accept this explanation."

Not only did "France Football" modify the rules, it also published an article stating its role in the Ballon d'Or selection.

All votes were cast by reporters from various football associations, voting individually, and everyone had their own ideas. "France Football" would not influence any reporter with voting rights.

They only counted the final votes and made them public.

They are not responsible for any reporter's vote.

"France Football", which was scolded, pushed all the responsibility away.

Racial discrimination is too buggy, and the top management of "France Football" can't bear this big pot.

Not to mention fans in other parts of Europe, even local fans and media in France have already made a fuss.

Voices from all walks of life are supporting Zhao Yi.

Among them, Ronaldo haters and Messi fans have paid a lot.

Zhao Yi's strength is unquestionable, but compared with Messi and Ronaldo, who have been deeply involved in football for nearly ten years, his number of fans and influence are still a little behind.

If his influence is big enough, the Ballon d'Or will not go to anyone else.

This time, Messi fans and Ronaldo haters stood up.

They raised the rhythm to the issue of race.

Forced "France Football" to come out to clarify some situations, but they will never apologize.

Apologizing means admitting mistakes.

Admitting mistakes means that there is something fishy in the selection.

In the future, the authority of the Ballon d'Or will be questioned, and finally "France Football" may even lose the Ballon d'Or brand.

All previous Ballon d'Or winners may be questioned.

They can only make up for the loss.

Zhao Yi also received a call from Perrin. Some middlemen contacted Perrin, hoping that Zhao Yi could stand up and say something for the Ballon d'Or.

There is no need to say good things, just accept an interview with "France Football" is enough.

Everyone is happy and joyful.
