"It's been an exciting January!" Jock and Linton were outside the Etihad Stadium and a few friends discussing the past January, when Manchester City hosted Liverpool, and it was a heavyweight game for the teenagers, just because they were against Liverpool, the former hegemon of English football.

As Manchester City fans, January is an exciting month for them, the team has won all eight games on all fronts, the League Cup has entered the final, the FA Cup has entered the fifth round, the league still firmly occupies the top of the standings, and what is even more terrifying is that Manchester City has conceded zero goals in these eight games, when Silva is injured, Toure, Drogba and others participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, the media January is a test for Manchester City, and it is likely to be overtaken by Manchester United, but Wensheng and Manchester City surprised everyone, and they persevered.

"Wen's performance was fantastic! He's such a good coach! Linton was full of admiration for Wen Sheng, "He must have magic powers!" ”

"yes, Wen is an incredible guy! We haven't conceded a single goal in eight games! It's amazing! His companion Wilson eagerly echoed Linton.

"Don't forget Tintin, they're great too!" Jock shouted.

Everyone laughed, "Haha, of course, everyone was great!" ”

"Hey! Guys! Have you been to a public training session lately?! Linton asked his friends proudly.

"Good boy! You actually went?! Companion Clark's eyes widened.

"Of course! I went to see that Brazilian kid specifically! ”

"Douglas. Costa?! ”

"Yes, that's the kid! That kid is awesome! The dribbling technique is amazing! Linton couldn't help but praise violently.

"Really?!" Jock asked, "He looks too thin!" ”

"Cut, what's wrong with him being thin?! He's sure to be able to make Liverpool's stupid big guys go around today! Linton was convinced.

"Blow! Can he play today?! It's only been a few days since you've been on the team?! "Clarke is skeptical that Costa will be able to play.

"Didn't Wen play at the press conference?!"

"Fart, when did Wen say that?! He just said, "Probably playing!" ”！” Clark argued.

Linton scratched his head and straightened his hairstyle, "Really?!" Did I hear me wrong! ”

Then he seemed to remember something, "Impossible! He's definitely going to play, and I saw him in the training session wearing the same vest as Tintin! ”

A group of friends discussed the team enthusiastically while heading to the security checkpoint with the jubilant fans around them, and the game was about to start.

Manchester City fans are happy at least for now, with a big buy-in in the winter window, a net investment of nearly £40 million in the transfer market, the introduction of three players, and the team's results have been exceptional, and the fans are full of confidence in the second half.

......

The Premier League winter window ended two days ago, the whole winter window is not very lively, the only protagonist is Manchester City, the top team has made a big investment in the winter window, the introduction of three important players, Sky Sports gave Manchester City's transfer rating of eight points, thinking that Manchester City is very targeted to strengthen, the holes in the full-backs have been filled, and the wingers have also been found, and the second half is worth looking forward to.

City's point deduction was that some of the people who should have left did not go, and the media believed that Richards should have been sent out of the team after an altercation with Wensheng, but Manchester City refused to release him, and the grapevine said that Wensheng was so disappointed in Richards that it was a punishment to keep him in the team.

However, his agent Barnett told the media: "Mika and Wen had some misunderstandings, but they have already reconciled!" Mika has no intention of leaving Manchester City right now, and Wen has also said that he needs Richards! ”

His words were just to find face for Richards and himself, and those who knew the inside story knew that Barnett was trampled on by Wen Shengjie, and he was helpless and unable to attack.

The rest of the Premier League has not invested much, with Rangers who have just lost to Manchester City in the league and are second in the winter window, spending more than £20 million to bring in Samba and Remy, but these two have not helped the team much, at least from the defeat to Manchester City.

Just after the winter window, Wen Sheng just won the third manager of the month of the season, which ushered in Liverpool.

Others may not have Rodgers' Liverpool in their eyes at all, but only Wensheng knows that Rodgers' Liverpool will become Manchester City's number one enemy next season, and it is embarrassing to say, in the history of Manchester City and Liverpool's confrontation, Manchester City at home is almost Liverpool's dish, except for the last two home games, Manchester City and Liverpool have not won even one victory in 15 games, and Liverpool is really not afraid of Manchester City from a psychological level.

......

Jock and Linton found their place and did not sit down, but stood directly on the pitch to watch the Manchester City players warm up on the pitch.

"See, that guy is Costa!" Linton pointed to a small black player wearing a hat on the court.

Jock couldn't get used to seeing his friend's chatter, and scolded angrily: "It's not that I don't know! Need you to point?! ”

"Look, look, look how great he is!" Linton doesn't care, he likes Costa's juggling skills, "You'll know how good he is when he's on the court!" ”

After a while, the warm-up was over, the players returned to the dressing room, and after a while, the game time was approaching, and the players came out, and Linton found that his guess was true, and Costa was indeed in the starting lineup.

"Joe.." Read it on the radio

"Hart !!" The fans chanted.

One by one, the Etihad Stadium broadcast the Manchester City starting line-up live.

The goalkeeper position is made by Joe. Hart was in charge, Zabaleta was back in the starting line-up line-up, Van Dijk and Vincent Kompany were still in central defence, Kolarov was on the left wing-back, Barry and Dembele started in midfield, Kevin De Bruyne and Costa were separated, and Sergio Aguero and Dzeko were up front.

Nasri and Milner both got the chance to rest, and Douglas. Costa hasn't been in the team for a week, but Wen Sheng still used this game, for this player, Wen Sheng's game requirements are to let him wave, want to beat Rodgers by surprise.

Liverpool's side is 4231, the goalkeeper position is Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Ager, Enrique form their backline, the midfield position is composed of Lucas and Henderson, Gerrard is the front midfielder, Downing and Sturridge are separated, and Suarez is the single arrow.
