Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

In the 68th minute, Manchester City organized an attack in the midfield, and Fernando passed the ball to Yaya Toure.

Toure observed that De Bruyne was open on the right and quickly passed the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne quickly dribbled forward. His activities on the wing attracted the attention of Southampton's defense, and then cut inside to the middle.

Then when he saw Li Lei was unguarded near the penalty area, he decisively passed the ball into the penalty area.

Li Lei made a feint before receiving the ball, fooled the defender Virgil van Dijk, and quickly inserted into the center of the penalty area.

Southampton's defenders, especially Wanyama and Romeu, tried to block Manchester City's offensive route by pressing De Bruyne.

Van Dijk noticed Li Lei's movement, but due to Li Lei's feint and speed, he could not block it in time.

Southampton's goalkeeper Foster also noticed Li Lei's shooting preparation and quickly moved to prepare for the save.

But beyond their expectations, Li Lei shot directly without stopping after receiving the pass from De Bruyne.

Aiming at the lower left corner of the goal, he accurately sent the ball into the net with the inside of his foot.

Although Foster rushed in that direction, he failed to stop the goal due to the tricky shooting angle.

Li Lei's goal ignited the passion of Manchester City players and fans.

He rushed to the corner flag area and opened his arms to celebrate. His teammates ran over to hug him to celebrate this crucial goal.

De Bruyne hugged his friend and said excitedly: "Great, Li Lei! This is what we need!"

Li Lei also said excitedly: "There is still time, we can score another one!"

Li Lei's goal made the score 3-2, which instantly brought the atmosphere in the live broadcast room to a climax.

Anchor Gao Yi was so excited that he jumped up directly from his chair, his face full of excitement.

He jumped up and shouted on the screen of his mobile phone: "Li Lei! Li Lei! Goal! This is the light of hope for Manchester City! Our Li Lei has proved his worth once again!"

He excitedly ran around the room in front of the camera, waving his hands and shouting.

Gao Yi said as he ran: "Great! Li Lei's shot is a textbook demonstration! His running position, feints, and accurate shots are simply perfect!"

After calming down his excitement, he returned to the table, resting his hands on the table, smiling, and continued to explain.

Gao Yi said excitedly: "Dear audience friends, this is the moment we have been waiting for! Li Lei has rekindled hope for Manchester City with his strength! There is still time, and we still have a chance!"

Li Lei's goal and Gao Yi's excitement triggered a wave of heated comments in the live broadcast room.

"Li Lei is awesome! This shot is so beautiful!"

"Gao Yi jumped up, so passionate!"

"There is still time! Come on Manchester City! We believe in you!"

"Li Lei is really our pride! Keep working hard, Manchester City will win!"

"Seeing Gao Yi so excited, I jumped up too!"

Gao Yi saw the barrage and said with a smile: "Everyone is right, Li Lei is our pride! Manchester City still has a chance, let's cheer for them together!"

He waved to the audience to continue leaving messages, and continued to comment on the game with a passionate voice.

"Dear audience, the game is still going on, Manchester City's counterattack is not over yet! Let's witness this wonderful game together and look forward to more goals!"

With Gao Yi's commentary and the interaction with the audience, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became more heated and tense.

The fans were cheering for Manchester City and Li Lei in front of the screen, hoping that they could continue to catch up with the score and create miracles.

Just as the fans cheered and celebrated, hoping that Manchester City could reverse the situation, reality once again knocked them down heavily.

In the 78th minute, Southampton attacked from the backcourt, and Victor Wanyama passed the ball to Oriol Romeu in the midfield.

Romeu quickly passed the ball to Cedric Soares on the right, and Soares dribbled forward, attracting the attention of Manchester City's defense.

Soares faced Clichy's defense on the wing and calmly passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.

Graziano Pelle competed with Manchester City's defenders Kompany and Mangla for a header in the penalty area.

Pelle headed the ball to Mane behind him.

After receiving the ball, Mane turned quickly and faced the defense of Fernando and Mangla.

Mane used his speed and flexibility to shake off the defender and quickly kicked the ball.

The ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal at a very fast speed. Although Joe Hart made a save, he failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Seeing Mane score again, the cheers of Manchester City fans were instantlyreplaced by shock and disappointment.

Some people held their heads in their hands, unable to believe what they saw.

Only Southampton fans were celebrating excitedly, while Manchester City fans bowed their heads and sighed, and some even began to leave early.

"Ah! Sadio Mane, scored again! His speed and accurate shooting made Manchester City's defense unable to resist."

"Southampton leads 4-3, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Manchester City."

"Manchester City's defense clearly exposed problems in this defense, and Mane's hat trick made them pay a heavy price."

"It's really heartbreaking to see the disappointment and frustration of the fans."

The Manchester City players on the field seemed very disappointed, Fernando and Mangla blamed each other, and Kompany tried to stabilize his teammates' emotions.

Although Li Lei's goal narrowed the score gap, Mane's goal put them in trouble again.

He took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and patted De Bruyne on the shoulder.

Facing his teammate and friend De Bruyne, Li Lei said firmly: "It's not over yet, we still have time, let's fight again!"

As the game time came to an end, Southampton's players began to shrink their defense and focus on defense.

Although Manchester City tried their best to attack, they could not break through the opponent's solid defense.

Throughout the game, Manchester City's defense was like a sieve, with many defensive loopholes, and ultimately failed to change the score.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was fixed at 4-2.

Li Lei panted and looked at the cheering Southampton players on the opposite side, with regret in his heart.

After Manchester City lost this game, their lead in the standings was reduced to only 2 points by Tottenham, and the suspense of this season's championship will remain until the end of the last round of games.

At this time, Gao Yi in the live broadcast room said in a heavy tone: "The game is over, Manchester City finally lost to Southampton 2-4."

"The loss of this game is very regrettable, especially Li Lei and the team's efforts have not been rewarded."

Then he sighed and said: "Manchester City's defense is indeed full of problems today, and Southampton has seized our loopholes."

"Although Li Lei scored a beautiful goal, he still couldn't save the situation."

"Alas, this game is really disappointing, the defense is too bad."

"Li Lei has tried very hard, I hope he can perform well in the next game."

"There are two rounds left, come on Manchester City, we still have a chance!"

"Tottenham is chasing too closely, and we must go all out in future games."

"I feel sorry for Li Lei, I hope he can cheer up."
