Chapter 394 understand you
Manchester City challenged Liverpool's second leg of the League Cup semi-final away? It attracted much attention in England.
The attention it has received has even exceeded the attention it should have in an ordinary League Cup semi-finals.
This is because it is very likely that everyone will witness Manchester City's "historic failure" in this game, which was said by Liverpool's local media.
In fact, it is not uncommon for Manchester City to be eliminated in the domestic Cup.
They had similar experiences last season, last season, last season.
But at that time, there was no such uproar as it is now.
On the one hand, it was because at that time, including Manchester City, they devoted their main energy to the league and the Champions League. It was enough to win a FA Cup championship, as if they had achieved the achievements. After they had achieved the achievements, who would still be fine and get old?
On the other hand, it is also related to Manchester City's performance.
Manchester City is different from Manchester City before. They have now been unbeaten in the league for as many as 77 games.
As Manchester City's new record is about to break through the sky.
In addition, in the Champions League, Manchester City has never lost in the Champions League since last season.
This season's League Cup and the FA Cup also won the same.
It seems that Manchester City is not going to lose now.
Against this backdrop, Liverpool's 1-0 away defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup semi-finals was very prominent.
It's enough to make everyone as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
At least it proves that Manchester City is not invincible. They can be defeated.
Liverpool's victory is of great significance, and he will revitalize confidence and fighting spirit for countless teams that are already accustomed to fearing Manchester City.
However, if he only won one game in Manchester City and was eventually eliminated from the semi-finals, it would be a heavy blow for those teams that had just recovered their confidence.
Everyone, everyone who does not support Manchester City hopes that Liverpool can successfully block Manchester City at home and eliminate Manchester City.
Only in this way can Liverpool's first round victory make sense.
But Rongguang performed very aggressively before the game, and he said he hadn't won enough.
In response to his remarks, Liverpool fans specially created a giant TIFO (giant banner (to respond to him).
When Glory led Manchester City out of the Anfield Stadium passage, he looked up and saw the TIFO made by Liverpool fans.
Above is his depressed look on his face and lowered his head, while next to him is a Liverpool player running and cheering. The next to him is: "I haven't lost enough yet!"
Liverpool fans directly changed the word "Glory" by changing the word "Glory" into another meaning.
This is a mockery of Glory, telling him that Liverpool will make him not lose enough. If he loses the first leg in the semifinals, he will have to lose the second leg!
The live broadcast began to give this large TIFO a lot of close-up shots, but Rong Guang's eyes only stayed on it for a second before retracting it.
There was no way he could tell from his face that his reaction to this TIFO.
Until the game begins.
※※※
As the game started, everyone could see how much effort Liverpool spent to deal with Manchester City, and their defense against Glory has really reached a "close-fitting" level.
Rongguang couldn't even catch the ball normally. He ran to football and there was always someone around him.
In such a situation, it is difficult to score a goal.
Liverpool's confidence may come from their defense against glory.
But Rong Guang himself remembered that he had been to Manchester City for three and a half seasons, but he had not won a League Cup championship yet.
No matter what happens in the future, at least this season, he must win the League Cup. No matter how strong the opponent is or how difficult it is.
He would not change his mind.
Since you can't catch the ball well, just stop catching the ball.
So the running position of Glory began to float.
In the eyes of outsiders, they find that Rong Guang's running has obviously increased, but they don't understand what Rong Guang's running has meant. Maybe they think Rong Guang is running wildly in order to get rid of defense?
Without the cooperation of teammates, Rong Guang's running was indeed running around.>
But with the cooperation of teammates, every step of Glory will be meaningful and purposeful.
Of course, he needs to have a group of teammates who understand him.
It is very coincidental that although Kaka and Ibrahimovic have a good relationship with Rongguang, they understand Rongguang very well...
So at the 23rd minute, but Rong Guang moved horizontally on the side, there was no ball under his feet.
Ibrahimovic was the one who took the ball.
As a center forward, Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back to the goal defense outside the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic did not turn around or pass the football back. He shoveled the football from the turf with his right foot, and clamped the football with his right foot's instep and calf, and then gently swung his right leg backward.
He tilted his head slightly, and the football flew past his face and flew behind him.
At the same time, Glory, who had just moved from the wing to the ribs, suddenly changed direction, turned right angles, turned to the penalty area, he rushed between the two Liverpool defenders, and appeared behind the Liverpool defense line with football!
"Rong--!"
John Motson exclaimed.
Liverpool fans in the stands also booed hugely, and they had realized what was going to happen next.
Rongguang came out from the middle of Liverpool's defense and happened to receive a football from Ibrahimovic's back.
Instead of stopping the ball, he swung his right leg and volleyed at the football picked by Ibrahimovic!
With a bang, the football flew straight to the back point of the goal. Although Liverpool goalkeeper Renner made a save, he did not touch the football, because Rong Guang's kick was too powerful and the football was too fast, so he could not make the most timely reaction as soon as possible!
The football went straight into the back corner of the goal!
"pretty--!!!"
When the football hit the net, the noisy Anfield Stadium suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was shocked by the ball of glory. They didn't expect Manchester City to send the ball to their goal like this.
When Ibrahimovic turned his back to the fan goal, Liverpool's defense was so impoverished that he couldn't even turn his body.
But in a blink of an eye, the football entered Liverpool's penalty area, and then Rongguang appeared from nowhere, appeared behind the football, and volleyed and the ball went in!
The goal came too fast, like a tornado...
After the goal, Rong Guang still did not hug Ibrahimovic, but he pointed at Ibrahimovic, then turned around and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.
At this time, there was a voice in the stands - the cheers of Manchester City fans, and the booing, exclaiming, sighing, and scolding from Liverpool fans who gradually came to their senses.
Anfield Stadium finally returned to the world from the cemetery, and finally got a little angry.
"Just just twenty-three minutes into the game, Manchester City tied the total score between the two sides to a 1:1 draw! Although the away goal is not paid attention to in the semi-finals of the League Cup, I think this goal will definitely have a completely different effect and impact on the morale and confidence of the two teams!"
John Motterson said it was right. Manchester City players excitedly rushed to Glory and Ibrahimovic who passed the ball, while Liverpool players seemed a little confused - how to lose the ball, many people may not have understood it. When many people realized it, the football had already reached the penalty area. What they saw was Glory's back swinging his right leg and volleying.
But many people don’t know how this ball entered the penalty area and appeared behind Liverpool’s defense.
Didn’t Ibrahimovic get the ball with his back to the goal?
Didn't he be unable to turn around?
So how did he pass the football?
In fact, it is not only the players on the court, but the fans in the stands may not be able to see clearly.
Only the audience in front of the TV captured that moment.
Ibrahimovic didn't look back and directly picked the ball over the top. Rong Guang also changed forward in a very tacit understanding and determined manner. The timing was just right. If he ran a little earlier, he would offside. If he ran late, he would probably not be able to make such a beautiful kick and directly volley.
The ball was beautiful in glory, but the legend of Ibrahimovic was equally beautiful.
Both are indispensable.
And this is Manchester City now.
Rongguang and Ibrahimovic have a bad relationship, but they can play such a match in the game.
Rongguang and Kaka are also in bad relationships, but don’t forget the FA Cup match against Manchester United, who passed the game when Rongguang scored the final goal.
Therefore, to outsiders, they are all time bombs within the team, but at Manchester City, they have become the Rockets booster that drives Manchester City to keep moving forward.
Now it seems that other teams have a reasonable sense to envy, jealousy and hate Manchester City...
The reason for being failed to them has become the reason for success!
