Chapter 499: Difficult Savior

Pellegrini shouted to the players on the field, urging the players to regain their spirits, Manchester City became a great power not very early, and the mental cohesion is relatively poor, which is one of the reasons why they have done nothing in the Champions League, the Champions League they not only lack experience, because the background is not enough, but also lack some of the original mental strength.

Liverpool can't play well in the league, but they can play well in the cup because of this, they have a strong mental force, otherwise how could they have staged a miracle night in Istanbul.

However, Manchester City's own unique team culture is also forming, in the face of such adversity, especially Liverpool, their core players, Kompany cheered for the players loudly, reminded each other, after a few minutes of panic, Manchester City's own blood has also been stimulated, you have played to the sky, we still want to make you unable to win or even lose this game, and hit your morale!

With this state of mind, Manchester City's players fought back without hesitation, and Liverpool's active offensive after the goal did not completely seal the victory, and when Manchester City's current sober counterattack, Liverpool's momentum was suppressed.

Not to be outdone, Manchester City's fans cheered the players on the sidelines by shouting wildly, singing their songs and calling the names of every player on the pitch.

Then Manchester City equalized the score ten minutes later, in the 84th minute, it was Jovetic's goal, Silva's wonderful pass, penetrated the Liverpool defence, Jovetic successfully countered offside, and delicately sent the ball into the door of Mignolet's handle from the back point.

Manchester City equalised again and it was a game that was a twist and turn for everyone, but now everyone is back on the same page.

Zhang Yuan and Sturridge's physical fitness has declined rapidly, Sturridge has actually recovered from minor injuries, and Zhang Yuan has not yet reached the best physical condition.

In both halves, they used too many frontcourt rushes, resulting in some inevitable physical inability to keep up now.

Seeing this situation, Rodgers replaced Sturridge and replaced him with Sterling, while Zhang Yuan was still sticking to the court, and Rodgers was also impressed, and he hoped that Zhang Yuan could shine again at a critical moment.

Manuel Pellegrini also made a substitution, with goal-scorer Jovetic replaced by Sergio Aguero, who was so efficient that he came off the bench in the last game and scored a goal to help City win the opposition.

He's not a player to be seen as a substitute, he's in fact a regular and he was pressed on the bench by in-form Jovetic.

And just after he came on the field, 23 seconds, in the 86th minute, he scored!

Liverpool attacked in front, Coutinho's pass to Sterling was tackled by Manchester City, they played a counterattack, Silva's through stopper, Aguero went to the meeting alone, easily deceived Mignolet, and scored the ball into the empty goal!

Manchester City changed the score again, this time they were ahead, and Liverpool really didn't have much time left!

Zhang Yuan really wants to cry without tears, he doesn't blame Coutinho at all, because he is a forward midfielder, and the position of the lost ball is still at the front of Manchester City's penalty area, the key is the position of Liverpool's midfield, which is also outrageous, and there is no tackle or interception in the middle, so that Manchester City can easily play a counterattack!

Rodgers was so angry that he was furious, what is this? The tofu scum defense line! In the first round against the weak team Southampton, they can concede goals, in fact, it is not surprising that Manchester City, who have more attacking ability, conceded three goals in the second game.

Liverpool was passive again, and in the next few minutes, Zhang Yuan and they also tried to counterattack, but Manchester City's players were very smart and carefully controlled the ball, and the Liverpool players couldn't keep up with their physical fitness, and the intensity of the siege became smaller, and there was no way to take Manchester City.

So when Oliver blew the whistle at the end of the game, Manchester City, who were playing at home, finally won 3:2 against Liverpool and struggled to get three points.

Wiping a handful of sweat, Zhang Yuan looked around and felt very bored, what was the problem?

After the game, Rodgers said: "We should have had a better result in this game, but the result was disappointing! Most of our performances were good, but there were still some problems in the handling of several key balls!

But seriously, can't forget!

Liverpool has spent a lot this summer, the investment is the first in the Premier League, no one has invested more than them so far, but they can't even wrestle with Manchester City, I have to say that the players are a little unhappy.

On the way back, the bus seemed a little quiet, some were sleeping, some were listening to songs, but there was no talk.

Zhang Yuan and Coutinho sat together, Coutinho's mood was very depressed, he neither listened to the song nor slept, but his eyes were open, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?!" Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Ahh

"What do you think?!" Zhang Yuan asked.

"I'm not very satisfied!" Coutinho smiled reluctantly.

"You performed very well, don't blame yourself too much!" Zhang Yuan said with relief, in his eyes, Coutinho did a good job, running and receiving at all costs, and the goal that Liverpool equalized was only divided by him when he received the ball to get rid of Fernando.

In other words, in front of such a strong team as Manchester City, the defensive position is still very good, Liverpool's attack is not particularly good, and everyone's performance is generally normal.

Zhang Yuan thinks that every player is probably like this, after a crucial game, he always thinks about how he performs after the game, and may even fantasize about how a certain ball is handled like that.

This is the player's self-learning consciousness, of course, you can't think too much, younger players may think more and more frustrated, but Zhang Yuan believes that Coutinho will not, Coutinho is not a chick, like Zhang Yuan, Serie A, La Liga, and the Premier League are all mixed, and the experience is still quite rich.

"I'm not blaming myself, I just want to learn to be smarter in the future!" Coutinho smiled and pointed to his head.

The two chatted about their common experience, in fact, although both of them had played in Serie A, but they had not met, to be precise, Coutinho did not get the opportunity to perform, Serie A is relatively conservative, for example, in terms of defensive positioning, regardless of personal ability, the position is still more reliable, Coutinho felt like a breakthrough when he first arrived in Serie A, not tall, and thin, it was difficult to get a position there, but now, it must be different, the height is still not high, but with the rich experience of the game, the change of physical conditions, he is not the kind of weak striker, and he also has a good long-range shot.

When he was about to arrive at Liverpool, Zhang Yuan ran to the front to discuss with Gerrard, and invited everyone to have dinner together in the evening, taking the opportunity to let everyone get rid of the shadow of defeat.

Melwood training base is in the east, and Manchester is also in the east, just not passing through the city, everyone got off at Melwood and drove to the city for dinner, after the game, many players ate some snacks prepared by the team, just to temporarily replenish energy, this is the main meal.

Zhang Yuan finally drove himself these days, he drove the Maserati given to him by Agnelli, which belonged to the kind of car that was more stylish in the team, and Sturridge didn't drive his own car, so he got into Zhang Yuan's car.

English people don't know how to cook, and England's chefs are not very famous in the world.

Usually, their meals are relatively simple, and housewives will just open canned food, but they are matched with many fancy foods, which look nutritious.

Liverpool is a small city, which is compared to the country, the population is hundreds of thousands, if you really want to insist on walking, shopping is completely on foot, but there is no means of transportation, many restaurants in the city are famous foreign restaurants, such as Italian food, French food, Chinese food, Thai food, Indian food and so on.
