Chapter 133: I Regret My Legs Being Too Short when I Need Them

Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were very depressed. Seeing that their team was about to score, they didn't expect Liverpool, who were visiting, to surpass the score again through frontcourt attack in such a relatively passive situation.

"Score twice!"

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted: "Li Qing has completed the two minimum consumptions per game against the giants. Will he score next? I think... fans sitting in front of the TV are looking forward to it, right?"

Manchester City coach Guardiola scratched his bald head depressedly, looking very helpless.

Chelsea coach Conte, who was watching the game in front of the TV, couldn't help but say: "It's useless! This can't be prevented!"

For the other three teams in the top six of the Premier League, perhaps a draw between Liverpool and Manchester City is the maximization of interests, but for Chelsea, the maximization of interests is Manchester City's victory.

Liverpool surpassed the score again after more than an hour of the game, which was a big blow to Conte's wishful thinking.

Of course, Manchester United coach Mourinho and Arsenal coach Wenger are happy to see Manchester City lose.

The on-site director gave a slow-motion replay. With the help of high-tech means, Li Qing, who received the ball, was just at the same level as Stones, who was dragged at the back, which means that there was no problem with the ball.

Manchester City, who fell behind again at home, had no choice but to make two substitutions in succession. Yaya Toure was replaced by Sagna and Kolarov replaced Clichy.

Logically speaking, Guardiola should have replaced Iheanacho or Nolito. Manchester City fans in front of the TV were puzzled.

Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun explained to the fans: "Guardiola's two adjustments seem to be aimed at defense, but in fact they are aimed at offense. Clichy and Yaya Toure have yellow cards, and it is difficult to defend wholeheartedly. Fernandinho, who plays as a right back, is most suitable for a defensive midfielder. His position premise can liberate David Silva and De Bruyne. Kolarov's left-wing assists are stronger than Clichy, and he has a long shot and free kick skills..."

For Guardiola, the most important problem to be solved before equalizing the score should be defense.

Otherwise, it is possible that the attack in the front did not score, and the defense in the back lost the ball first.

It will be more difficult to equalize the score at that time!

Guardiola's coaching philosophy is offense, but he has not forgotten that the foundation of victory is based on solid defense, especially in a strong dialogue, defense is particularly important.

Manchester City made two consecutive adjustments, and Klopp fell into deep thought. He thought the team should also make adjustments.

When he saw the players on the bench, he shook his head. The bench depth was not enough, and the problem was that the substitutes' appearance effect was not as great as the players with serious physical exhaustion.

In this case, why make a substitution?

Then, Klopp looked at Li Qing who was celebrating the goal. As long as Li Qing's physical strength could hold on, there was no need to make a substitution.

…

In a wealthy area in Barcelona, ​​Messi, who was playing with his children at home, suddenly remembered that there was a focus battle in Manchester tonight, so he gave the children's play to his wife Antonella and turned on the 80-inch super-large LCD TV.

After a few seconds of loading, the TV screen showed a slow-motion replay of the goal in Manchester City's home game against Liverpool.

From Li Qing's sudden acceleration to break through Sane, to his dribbling, dribbling past Otamendi and scoring with a crotch shot, every process seemed to have been precisely calculated by a computer, meticulously.

If it weren't for the different jersey color and body shape, Messi would have thought that the person who just scored the goal was himself.

Technical characteristics, so similar!

The on-site director gave Li Qing a close-up of his face, and Messi whispered, "Is it him? No wonder he is so strong."

...

In the wealthy area of ​​Madrid, Mini Ronaldo turned his head and said to Ronaldo, "Papa, who is this No. 55 of Liverpool? So awesome! I feel he is no worse than my idol Leo Messi."

Ronaldo rubbed Mini Ronaldo's little head lovingly, and looked at the 68-inch LCD TV again, and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed very powerful, but the shot in the penalty area seems to be calmer than me and Leo, and the handling of the ball is not like a sixteen-year-old boy at all."

"What? He is only sixteen years old?"

Mini Ronaldo was very surprised: "What's his name? I will be his fan from now on!"

"His name is Qing Lee, a British Chinese, born in February 2001, nine years older than you, maybe you will be in the future Have a chance to be teammates. "

"I really hope there will be such a day."

Mini Ronaldo was full of longing, and then his smart eyes blinked at Ronaldo: "Papa, can't you be his teammate?"

Ronaldo was stunned, and then his eyes flashed, thinking: "Such an outstanding young man is really young, if he can join Real Madrid, how great it would be? No, I have to find a chance to recommend him to Mr. Florentino."

He smiled and said: "I'll try my best."

"Then papa, you have to help me ask him for an autograph and jersey."

"My dear son, don't worry, papa will definitely help you ask for it when he has the chance."

"Thank you papa, Pua~"

...

The game resumed, and Manchester City, with the advantage of kicking off, launched a tide-like attack on Liverpool's defensive half in a step-by-step manner.

Kolarov, who came on as a substitute, sent a penetrating cross from the left at a 45-degree angle. The ball bypassed Matip at the front point and accurately found Aguero in front of Klavan.

It's just that... Aguero, who was running at high speed and trying to kick the ball, found that his leg was broken a little, so he missed the ball and it rubbed the sole of his shoe and went out of the baseline, which scared the Liverpool players into a cold sweat.

Les commentators Zhan Jun said with a smile: "You only regret your short legs when you need them!"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, watched the slow-motion replay and said regretfully: "What a pity! Akun was just a few centimeters away!"

The danger in front of Liverpool's goal was equivalent to a complete alarm for Liverpool's defensive players, and they did not give Manchester City any chance in the next ten minutes of the game.

Time was running out, and there were only ten minutes left before the end of the game. Li Qing's physical fitness declined significantly, but the physical potion he bought in advance was still in the inventory, waiting for the opportunity to use it.

Manchester City has made the third substitution adjustment, Iheanacho replaced Sane, who was not very effective, to increase the height of the header in the penalty area.

Klopp responded to the move and replaced Coutinho with Lovren one minute later.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray smiled and said, "It seems that Jurgen Klopp is ready to hold on to the 2:1 score until the end of the game."

"There are only ten minutes left in the game, and it is understandable that Jurgen Klopp chooses to defend with all his strength."

Commentary guest Martin Taylor looked at Li Qing along with the broadcast screen, and changed the subject: "Liverpool, who defend with all their strength, may have more opportunities for quick counterattacks. I think... in the next five minutes, either Liverpool will lock in the victory, or Manchester City will equalize the score. Of course... the score may not change at all."

Andy Gray rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Can you come up with a fourth result?"
