Chapter 230 Victory Belongs to Manchester City?

One hour before the start of the game, the official website of the Premier League announced the starting lineups of the two teams.

Liverpool's official formation is 433, goalkeeper Mignolet, defenders Moreno, Van Dijk, Matip and Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, forwards Mane, Firmino and Salah.

Manchester City's official formation is 442, goalkeeper Ederson, defenders Danino, Otamendi, Stones and Kyle Walker, midfielders Mendy, David Silva, Fernandinho and De Bruyne, forwards Aguero and Jesus.

The head coaches of both teams did not come to the stadium, so their assistants and physical coaches took the players to warm up before the game. The next game is very important. In order to avoid injuries in the game, the players are particularly well prepared for warm-up.

From the perspective of the championship, the away game against Manchester City must be a draw and a win.

The players warmed up on the court, and the commentator responsible for the live broadcast did the final test in the live broadcast room to avoid technical problems after the game started.

Kung Fu 5, Juli TV and Xinying Sports all sent their leading commentators to the Etihad Stadium, in order to let the fans in front of the TV or computer screen see an authentic Premier League peak showdown.

Although the game has not started yet, the signal is already available. Except for Kung Fu 5, which has to wait until the game starts because every second of broadcasting is very expensive, the live broadcast has to wait until the game starts. Network TV stations like Juli TV and Xinying Sports all access the game signal in advance, so that fans in front of the computer screen can see the real-time situation of the Etihad Stadium.

The broadcast screen was just giving Li Qing who was warming up. New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said solemnly: "The Chinese young player Li Qing is in very good spirits. He contributed two goals and one assist in the league last season when he represented Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, helping Liverpool to gain three points away from home. Half a year later, will he continue his form in the past few rounds of the league away from home?"

At the same time, Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said eloquently: "Liverpool is in good shape in the new season, winning three consecutive victories. The defense that was criticized in the past is likely to be greatly changed in this game. Dutch central defender Van Dijk is very comprehensive. He has created the transfer value of defenders in the world football. He will definitely make Liverpool's defense better!"

"Liverpool has already set a record of 19 consecutive wins across seasons. Next... will there be 20 consecutive wins?"

The 40-minute warm-up time ended quickly, and the players of both sides returned to their respective locker rooms one after another to make final preparations for the upcoming key game.

As assistant coach Buvac closed the door of the locker room, the noise from the Etihad Stadium stopped abruptly, and the Liverpool players looked at Klopp without blinking.

Ten minutes later, Klopp, who was good at inciting people, gave the players enough chicken blood before the game started. Everyone was full of fighting spirit, and they were determined not to give up until they set off a bloody storm at the Etihad Stadium.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, the Premier League staff knocked on the doors of the home and away team locker rooms respectively, reminding them to prepare for the entrance ceremony.

Klopp glanced at the starting eleven and added in an inflammatory tone: "Guys, do you have the confidence to beat the Blue Moon at the Etihad Stadium?"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The broadcast signal was given to the player channel, the main players stayed in the channel, and the substitutes walked straight out of the stadium and went to their respective benches.

Many of the two teams were teammates of the national team, and there were some small interactions before the game started.

Ederson, Danilo, Fernandinho and Firmino are teammates of the Brazilian national team, Stones, Kyle Walker and Li Qing are teammates of the England national team...

Since this game was Van Dijk's first time to play in the Premier League for Liverpool, he felt a little nervous. In addition to Wijnaldum comforting his national team teammates, Li Qing also took the initiative to walk over, patted Van Dijk on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Virgi, relax, just play like you did in Southampton."

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai looked at this scene and laughed: "Li Qing is just a 16-year-old teenager, and Van Dijk is already 26 years old this year. Can you imagine a teenager comforting an adult?"

Van Dijk listened to Li Qing's words and nodded frequently. He always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

Klopp and Guardiola met at the player's tunnel. They were very friendly and hugged each other, but it is unknown what happened after the game...

"aoaoaoaoooooo——"

The players from both sides led the ball boys and followed the referee team into the stadium. The fans from both sides in the audience burst into a huge cheer in tacit understanding. The momentum was so loud that even the fans sitting in front of the TV could hear it clearly.

During the handshake between the players from both sides, the Manchester City diehard fans in the north stand raised the mosaic drawings in their hands and pieced together the Manchester City team logo. Under the team logo, there was a group of English letters spelling out the sentence: Victory-belongs-to-Manchester-City

The Chinese meaning is victory belongs to Manchester City.

Li Qing shook hands with the Manchester City players while looking at the north stand, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Victory belongs to Manchester City?

Dream on!

If you can win the game with slogans, what's the point of playing football?

"Beep~"

Accompanied by the whistle of the referee Oliver, the fourth round of the 2017-2018 Premier League focus battle officially began.

"Kung Fu TV, Kung Fu TV, the match we are broadcasting now is the live broadcast of the top battle of the 4th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool at home. The first to kick off was Liverpool, wearing red jerseys and red shorts. They attacked from the left to the right of the broadcast screen..."

Liverpool, who had the advantage of kicking off, did not rush to attack, but patiently passed the ball in the midfield and backcourt, step by step.

Guardiola's team also likes to use high pressure, but because Liverpool's back line is completely new, the stable Matip is paired with the steady Van Dijk, and the pressure formed by Aguero, Jesus, De Bruyne and David Silva did not make Liverpool players make mistakes.

After several consecutive passes, the ball came to Li Qing's feet. David Silva, De Bruyne and Fernandinho rushed over at the same time, trying to intercept the ball at Li Qing's feet, and then counterattack on the spot.

Li Qing, who received the ball in Manchester City's half-circle arc, seemed to have eyes behind his head. He was not in a hurry. His skillful footwork always maintained absolute control over the football. His flick, pull and dunk were very reasonable.

"Oh-My-God! This is simply God dancing!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray blurted out excitedly.

Li Qing had no intention of passing the ball. Mendy, who was eager to move, also ran over and tried to work together to intercept the ball at Li Qing's feet.

Li Qing was waiting for this opportunity. He stuck his butt back and pushed De Bruyne away. Then he took a step forward with a certain reaction force, raised his left foot naturally, and suddenly sent a long pass.
