The media across England are hyping up Benitez's battle of revenge, but according to Glory's observation, Benitez is very calm and does not look like he grits his teeth.

If he and Liverpool really have a grudge, then he would be too calm now, right?

Benitez is indeed very calm, and the training content arrangement is no different from before.

If it weren't for the media's hype, Manchester City players might not know that it was a game with any special significance.

Even fifteen minutes before the game, Benitez did not come up with any special instructions in the locker room at Anfield Stadium and did not talk about the grudge between himself and Liverpool.

His pre-match advice is no different from any ordinary game.

It was not until he finished speaking in the locker room and left the locker room, and when no one saw it, he showed some of his emotions.

As he walked towards the stadium by passing the corridor where he tasted, he walked under the Liverpool team sign, which read "This is Anfield".

He raised his hand and patted the sentence.

Once upon a time, as a Liverpool head coach, he led the team and didn't know how many times he would have walked through this place. For those Liverpool players, this sentence has great magic. Every time the team walked past here, many people would raise their hands to pat the sentence, as if they wanted to gain strength from this sentence. They also firmly believed that this sentence would definitely create huge psychological pressure on the visiting teams who came here to play.

He also used this sentence to inspire his players.

The position of this sentence is also very particular. Walking over every player's head is like walking under a sharp sword of Damocles. This sword may be cut down at any time and slashing towards the visiting players.

But today... my team is going to become the target of this sword...

He patted the sentence.

Spiritual symbol?

※※※

When many Manchester City players pass by here, there will be people looking up at this sentence, as if they care about it very much.

This sentence was written by Liverpool's legendary coach Bill Shankley. His purpose is to put pressure on the visiting team and remind them that they are really fighting against the most powerful team in the world.

After decades of publicity by the media, a common saying seems to have really possessed magic.

This is a typical example of public opinion affecting people's hearts.

However, Rongguang did not have such feelings. When he walked over from below this sentence, he lowered his head and looked at the steps under his feet with his eyes focused on it.

I didn't take this sentence seriously at all.

Not only this time, it is not the first time he has come to this stadium to play.

In the Champions League two seasons ago, when he was a Bayern Munich player, he went out with the team to challenge Liverpool. He had already played in this stadium at that time.

He didn't think there would be any special feeling to play football here.

As for the sentence above his head... he may have never seen it before. Perhaps even if he saw it, he would not think that this sentence has a deep meaning.

Young goalkeeper Joe Hart, walking beside him, muttered in a low voice.

The continuous mumbling dispersed Glory's energy, and made him a little curious, wanting to know what Joe Hart was mumbling, so he asked, "What are you talking about, Joe?"

"This is Anfield..." Joe Hart replied.

But his voice was still very small, Rongguang didn't hear it clearly, so he asked again: "What?"

"This is Anfield," Joe Hart had to say loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cheer came to mind outside, which was made by Liverpool fans.

In the cheers, Rongguang nodded: "Yes, I know this is Anfield. But you don't have to keep saying it, right?"

Just as Joe Hart was about to open his mouth to answer Glory's question, he heard Liverpool's song "You Will Never Walk Alone" coming from outside.

The singing was melodious and majestic. When Joe Hart heard the song, his face changed a little.

"You... don't you know what this sentence means, Rong?" Joe Hart asked.

"I don't know." Rong Guang shook his head.

Joe Hart just explains the origin of this sentence to Glory.

After saying that, he said to Rongguang: "Do you know the special meaning of this sentence now?"

Rongguang smiled: "You're thinking too much, Joe. That's just a sentence. There's no difference between writing on the wall and on paper." He did find Joe Hart a little suspicious.

Just a word, how could there be any magic?

He waved his hand indifferently, not taking what Joe Hart said to heart at all.

Seeing that Joe Hart had no idea about Glory, he shut up and stopped talking.

However, in his heart, he was still a little awe of the stadium.

After all, as an English player, I have heard a lot of legendary stories about this stadium since I was a child. That sentence is like a spell, deeply engraved in his heart, and its influence on him is not so easy to eliminate.

※※※

When the game started, Joe Hart quickly felt the "magic" of Anfield's words, and from the beginning of the game, his goal began to bear tremendous pressure. Liverpool players launched wave after wave of offensives to the goal guarded by Joe Hart amid the cheers of home fans.

Joe Hart was very busy after the game started, and he caught up with high and low blocks, blocking a series of shots from Liverpool players.

But he always had an idea in his mind, and he didn't know how long he could hold on if he continued like this...

He always has this kind of panic.

Rong said that was just a sentence... But looking at Liverpool's offensive now, how could it be just a sentence?

He turned his eyes to glory.

※※※

Not only Joe Hart felt the pressure, but even the commentator and the commentator saw it.

"Manchester City has been playing smoothly in the previous few games, and they did not encounter too much resistance in the game. However, in this game, they must have felt pressure against Liverpool away..." Motson said.

"This is normal. Although Manchester City has performed well in recent rounds of the league, they have not encountered any truly strong opponents. Portsmouth, Stoke City, Wigan, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough... These teams cannot be considered strong teams. Their strength is similar to Manchester City, and they are even worse than Manchester City. So it is normal for Manchester City to win when they are in good shape... But we must also see that none of those teams are a strong team like Liverpool. Liverpool is currently ranked second in the league and has excellent condition..."

Alan Hansen was talking and analyzing.

Manchester City on the court has already started an attack.

After fifteen minutes of bombarding the goal surrounding Manchester City, Liverpool did not score, so they slowed down - if they continued to attack like this, their physical strength would soon not be able to keep up, and they would also have to worry about being beaten to counterattack by Manchester City.

In terms of the overall strength of the team, Liverpool is definitely stronger than Manchester City, but sometimes the strength comparison depends on the environment. If it is a counterattack, Manchester City is not worse than Liverpool.

Liverpool has Torres, but Manchester City has a faster glory.

Moreover, when the two teams meet, Liverpool loses, not Manchester City. It is wrong to say that Liverpool doesn't take Manchester City seriously at all.

So Liverpool stopped when they saw the good news, and after not scoring consecutive offenses, they retreated. Now it's Manchester City's turn to attack.

Liverpool waved quickly and did not give Manchester City a chance to fight back.

When Manchester City saw that the counterattack opportunity could not be fought, they were not in a hurry. They slowly passed the football forward, sometimes passing it to the midfield, and after passing it back and forth horizontally, if there was really no chance, they simply passed it back, looking for an opportunity, and slowly moving forward.

After such a passing, the football fell to the feet of glory.

Liverpool's defense against Rongguang is very strict. As long as Rongguang gets the ball in this game, he basically has his back to the offensive direction. Liverpool players don't even let him turn around...

This time is no exception.

As soon as Rong Guang got the ball, Mascherano pressed him up and pressed him tightly from behind, preventing him from turning around.

Rongguang did not try to turn around forcibly. He felt the pressure from behind, so he passed the football directly and gave it to Robinho.

After passing the ball, he turned around and walked in.

Mascherano did not dare to be careless at all and quickly followed.

Sure enough, at this moment, Robinho kicked the ball with his foot and passed it over the top

"Robinho"

The direction of his passing was exactly the direction of Glory turning around and breaking forward.

Liverpool's central defender Scotter jumped high and planned to push the ball out, but he overestimated his jumping power and underestimated the height of Robinho's kick. Others jumped up but failed to hit the ball.

"Scotter, he's overwhelmed"

Mascherano has been following Rong Guang, and it is not as good as Rong Guang by speed. In the penalty area, the space is small and Rong Guang cannot accelerate, otherwise he will directly break out of the bottom line as soon as he accelerates...

This is actually beneficial to Mascherano, which is not fast.

At the same time, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina also moved to the near corner, intending to block Glory's possible shooting angle.

At this moment, the running glory suddenly jumped up. He jumped into the air and stretched out his right leg to catch the ball.

Mascherano didn't expect Glory to do this. What should he do if he received the ball?

The distance to this place is very close to the bottom line... Can he still shoot directly?

Just as he was thinking, Rongguang had already removed the football from the air.

Then he indeed swung his right leg again and acted to shoot.

Goalkeeper Reina was fully focused, while Mascherano stepped on it, intending to use his body to block Glory's shot.

But when Rong Guang swung his right foot, he did not shoot...

His right foot was pushed down from top to bottom and the football that was still falling in the air suddenly pressed down.

And Mascherano rushed over...

In this way, he drew the football over Mascherano.

Then he dodged Mascherano and swung his right leg again

This time it wasn't a fake move. He hit the football firmly with his right foot on the instep.

A bang

The football flew through the goal's back corner like a cannonball

Reina, who had been shaken by Rong Guang's fake move, rushed over again. It was too late. He just waved his hand with a conditioned reflex, and watched the football fly into the goal behind him...
