Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City's efforts finally paid off. De Bruyne got the ball in the midfield, and he keenly observed the situation ahead.

Sterling had already taken position on the left, and he was waiting for De Bruyne's pass.

De Bruyne did not hesitate, and he sent the ball to Sterling's feet with a precise long pass.

Sterling received the ball, and his abundant physical advantage was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Facing Everton's defensive players, he forcibly swallowed the opponent.

After Sterling went down the left side, he saw Aguero in the middle had caught up, and he passed the ball without hesitation.

Aguero jumped up and tried to head the ball, but Everton's goalkeeper Joel Robles reacted quickly, he flew out and knocked the ball away with a single punch.

But the danger was not over yet, Li Lei on the right side had already inserted to the front of the penalty area.

When he saw the ball draw an arc in the air and headed straight for him, he adjusted his pace and then shot!

The ball went straight to the goal like a cannonball.

Joel Robles rushed out again.

But this time, he could only watch the ball pass over his fingertips and hit the net.

The net trembled violently at this moment, as if celebrating this crucial goal.

Li Lei, kneeling on the ground, he looked up to the sky and roared, releasing all the excitement and joy in his heart. His teammates rushed up and surrounded him.

Sterling, Aguero, De Bruyne... Each of them had the same expression at this moment.

That was the joy of victory and the excitement of turning the situation around.

Guardiola clenched his fists tightly on the sidelines. This goal might be the key to turning the whole game around.

The score became 2:1, Manchester City led by 1 goal! At the Etihad Stadium, the fans of the Blue Moon were boiling again.

"Goal! Li Shen is awesome!" Gao Yi shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room, jumping up from his chair, jumping and shouting in front of the camera.

"Manchester City took the lead again with Li Lei's double goal, and the total score was tied at 2:2."

"There is not much time left for Manchester City. In the remaining time, Manchester City needs to stop losing the ball and score goals, so that they can successfully advance to the final."

Gao Yi's excitement infected the entire live broadcast room, and his roar seemed to penetrate the screen and reach the ears of every audience.

"Li Shen is awesome!" In the live broadcast room, the barrage scrolled rapidly, and almost every one of them was cheering for Li Lei.

"Li Lei, you are the best!" "Li Lei, you are our pride!" "Li Lei, you are the future of Manchester City!"

Gao Yi jumped and shouted in front of the camera, and his joy was displayed to the audience without reservation.

"I know, I know Li Lei can do it!" he said excitedly, "He is the best player of our generation, he will definitely lead Manchester City to victory!"

The audience interacted fiercely with Gao Yi in the live broadcast room.

"Gao Yi, do you think Manchester City still has hope in this game?"

"Gao Yi, do you think Li Lei can score another goal today?"

"Gao Yi, what tactical arrangements do you think Guardiola will make next?"

"Of course Manchester City has hope!" Gao Yi said firmly.

"We have Li Lei, De Bruyne, Aguero, we have the best players and the best coach, as long as we play to our level, victory will definitely belong to us!"

"As for Li Lei, I believe he will definitely score another goal today!" Gao Yi continued to analyze.

"He is in good shape now, and he has a spirit of not admitting defeat. He will definitely make contributions to the team again at the critical moment!"

"Next, Guardiola may make some tactical adjustments." Gao Yi continued to say excitedly.

"He may strengthen the control of the midfield and put more pressure on Everton. At the same time, he will also ask the players to strengthen their defense and not let Everton have the opportunity to equalize the score."

In the live broadcast room, the atmosphere reached a climax, and everyone was cheering for Manchester City and Li Lei.

Li Lei's goal allowed Manchester City to take the lead again.

This goal was not only a change in the score, but also a shot in the arm, inspiring the fighting spirit of Manchester City players.

And Sterling's appearance became a turning point in the game.

His speed and skills brought new vitality to Manchester City's offense and put Everton's defense under greater pressure.

Seeing this situation, Everton coach Martinez realized that he had to make some changes.

He quickly arranged for the players to prepare to come on as substitutes. In the next game, his requirements were not high.

"We just need to"Just score one goal," he said to the players, "even if we lose the game in the end, as long as the total score is tied, we can successfully advance to the final with the advantage of away goals. "

Martinez's eyes fell on the two people on the bench.

"Aaron Lennon, Steven Pienaar, you two go warm up!" he shouted to them.

Lennon and Pienaar immediately stood up and started warming up on the sidelines. They also knew that they might be called up at any time.

Martinez walked over to them and began to tell them about their tasks.

"Remember, after you go on the court, you must not only make progress on the offensive end, but also block Manchester City's attack," he said, "You must not let the opponent score again, even if it means fouling. "

Lennon and Pienaar nodded to show that they understood the important responsibility they shouldered.

Martinez turned and signaled to the fourth official on the sidelines that he would make a substitution.

In the 71st minute, Everton replaced Gerard Deulofeu with Aaron Lennon to increase the speed and breakthrough power of the wing.

Soon after, Steven Pienaar was also substituted to replace Tom Cleverley.

Martinez hoped that Pienaar could bring more creativity to the team.

The situation on the field became more complicated and unpredictable because of these two substitutions.

Manchester City, led by Sterling and Li Lei, continued their attack. As long as they scored one more goal, they could basically lock in the victory.

Everton, with the addition of Lennon and Pienaar, began their counterattack.

With the appearance of Everton's energetic newcomers, the rhythm of the game changed.

Lennon and Pienaar, two young people who were eager to prove themselves, were extremely active on the field.

Whether in defense or offense, they showed vitality and fighting spirit different from others.

This made the Manchester City players who had just taken the lead feel uncomfortable, and their rhythm was disrupted by these two young people.

In the 76th minute, Manchester City's central defender Martin Demichelis was injured in a fight.

Guardiola had to urgently adjust the personnel and replaced him with Eliakim Mangala.

Everton, led by Lennon and Pienaar, started a more fierce attack.

They were eager to equalize the score, which made their defense line begin to loosen.

Manchester City saw an opportunity. In the 80th minute, Sterling used his speed advantage on the wing and successfully broke through Everton's defense.

But just as he was about to cross, Everton's Gareth Barry pulled him with a rough move.

Sterling's attack was interrupted.

The referee took out the yellow card without hesitation, and Barry paid the price for his behavior.
