Chapter 57: The Battle of Manchester City

That's a lot of fun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, regardless of whether the analysis of the two lip experts is correct or not, if Wang Zhen did not scold Platini, he could have directly denied it.

Even if Wang Zhen really scolded Platini, he can deny it in this case, after all, that's what Mourinho did.

However, Wang Zhen did not explicitly deny this, but directly declared that he did not know Platini.

Translated, who is this thing, I don't know, unknown junior, don't need to care.

In this case, there are many layers of understanding.

Some people quickly interpreted that Wang Zhen did scold Platini and was full of resentment towards Platini, so he deliberately said such things.

Some people also think that Wang Zhen admitted in disguise, yes, Lao Tzu scolded, what can he do if he scolds such a small role?

But not only that, Wang Zhen also jokingly said that if this senior is in decline and poor, he can give him a few million.

Isn't this a ridicule of Platinelli's desire from the side?

Moreover, Wang Zhen also said that he respects his predecessors, but he doesn't care about how this person is now.

In other words, Wang Zhen said that as a senior, your achievements in the history of football are worthy of respect, but after that, you have become a politician, and you simply dare not compliment.

Since there are people who analyze it, there are people who use this as a conclusion to judge.

Some people think that Wang Zhen scolded well and scolded to relieve his anger.

Some people also think that Wang Zhen's approach is very inappropriate.

Mourinho and Dalglish fired one after another, and neither explicitly mentioned the dissatisfaction with the UEFA hierarchy, nor did they say that the penalty scale was related to the UEFA hierarchy.

In other words, Dalglish and Mourinho just sprayed the referee on duty.

And Wang Zhen's remarks undoubtedly expanded this turmoil.

Of course, there are also media that have made a decisive conclusion.

"Whether it is scolding or not, whether it is impulsive or always thinking so, whether it is aimed at the UEFA hierarchy, whether it is suspected that the UEFA hierarchy and other teams are involved in the deal, it is all speculation. No one, positively, has ever made, any evaluation. ”

This sentence is very correct, no matter how big the turmoil is, as long as there is no positive and straightforward resolute 'words', it is equivalent to not saying anything.

It's like diplomacy.

Things are still fermenting, and all the parties involved have no time to take care of this matter.

First of all, Real Madrid has games, Liverpool has games.

Secondly, Platini is now in discussions with FIFA about something more important.

On April 10, in the 32nd round of the league, Liverpool ushered in the opponent of this round, which was also an extremely difficult game.

Host Manchester City.

Originally, with Liverpool's overwhelming advantage over strong teams this season, this game did not turn out to be a difficult game.

But the problem is that Liverpool still have to prepare for the home game against Real Madrid on the 13th.

Therefore, this game is destined to have no starters.

As fans concluded, Liverpool is simply robbing the rich and helping the poor, hoeing the strong and helping the weak.

Any strong team has to tremble when it encounters Liverpool, but some weak teams have a chance to score points when they meet Liverpool.

It's going to be tough for City to stay in the top four.

First of all, Chelsea steady, and secondly, Arsenal decisively gave up the FA Cup and lost the Champions League decisively and resolutely, so the league became their only goal, and their goal was to keep the fourth.

Thirdly, it is their city rivals who are in direct competition with Manchester City.

One is a big cousin, the other is a cousin, but it is impossible to be harmonious when they meet together.

So, in this fixture, every point is very important for Manchester City.

However, if you think about it on the other hand, Chelsea have steadied their position, Arsenal have embarked on their habitual end-of-season sprint, and United are pressing on one step at a time, with results leaping and bounds from the previous cycle.

Then Liverpool doesn't need to be divided?

No, Liverpool need points very badly, Liverpool need points to hold on to the top spot and maintain a huge advantage so that the teams behind them are not interested.

A defeat would likely trigger the next opponent to fight back, and if that were the case, a less than 10-point lead would not be much of an advantage.

Liverpool will also meet Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the next games, both of which are teams in Group 2, and you will have to consider the pressure of other games.

For example, in the next round of the FA Cup, Liverpool's opponent is Manchester City, which is not easy to bully at all.

Coupled with the increasingly difficult Champions League, every step forward requires a lot of effort.

At this time, the time has come to really test whether a team is a strong team.

The only consolation is that due to the reinforcement of this season, although the winter window did not start, Liverpool still has a substitute lineup led by Babbel, Joe Cole, and Skrtel, which is not necessarily weaker than other Premier League teams in addition to poor firepower, and may be considered in the middle of the middle compared to defense.

And the advantage is that they have a lot of physical strength.

In fact, in this game, Dalglish's strategy is to fight with Manchester City.

The whole court is strictly guarded at all costs, and the cramps are not relaxed.

On the one hand, this group of players has had enough games this season, but in the league there haven't been many games where they have played together, and most of the time they have come on as substitutes, so they have plenty of motivation to pursue their own wins.

On the other hand, this group of players also has to look for opportunities to show themselves during their respective contract periods in the hope of winning their next contract.

As a result, this group of players showed a different temperament from the main team.

Dare to fight, dare to fight, stalk.

Manchester City played a very poor game, and in the face of the frantic blocking of Liverpool's players, they could not come up with much to do.

After all, they are Manchester City, not Liverpool, their wings, their long-range shots, are not very strong, and there are not many ways to attack the rigid formation.

The game lasted for more than 70 minutes, and when the two sides began to make substitutions, there was a first wave of fluctuations.

There are a lot of players on both sides who can't run, but there are only so many substitutions.

To win, be cautious.

This has led to repeated delays in substitutions between the two sides.

As a result, there were consecutive cramps on both sides.

After 70 minutes, due to the decline in physical strength, many players' ability to avoid fouls also suffered, and the last 20 minutes of the game were played intermittently, and there were a lot of free kicks, and most of them were free kicks that could not be attacked.

It can be said that this is a battle of wills, to this point, the advantage of Liverpool's substitutes in physical strength is gone, the substitutes are not as scientific as the age structure of the main force, the old and the young, it is surprising that they can fight for more than 70 minutes.

However, Manchester City is not good, because they firmly believe that they can win, so the attack is very fierce, and at this time, it also confirms the truth of "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", and there is no physical strength to attack again.

The five-minute stoppage time was full of players dragging heavy steps on the field.

Everyone understands that this is the end of the game.

At Anfield, the battle was tied 0-0.

After the game, The Times also joked: "Manchester City are one of the few teams to keep a clean sheet against Liverpool this season. ”

After this match, UEFA issued a ticket.
