Eighteen wins in a row!!

Manchester City are on the way to winning all the way through the game and have only one last game left!!

Immediately after the 18 rounds of league games, Manchester City returned to the City Football Academy's training base to prepare for the 19th round of the Premier League against Liverpool.

Actually, there is nothing to prepare!

There were only two days between the eighteenth and nineteenth rounds of the league!!

It is unlikely that any targeted tactical deployment will be made in the past two days!!

When it comes to the Christmas Express season, the confrontation between each team is a confrontation of ability, overall tactics, physical fitness, and even willpower!!

......

"If Manchester City beat Liverpool in this game, they will have a historic half-way victory, what do you think about that?"

Before the game, a reporter interviewed Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez.

"I have to say first of all that Gobo has had an amazing run of results at Manchester City. They could win it all, no problem. But for us at Liverpool, we would never hope that Manchester City would have stepped on Liverpool's shoulders to achieve this achievement!! Therefore, we have to give it our all in this game to stop Manchester City's winning streak!! Benitez said.

In fact, Liverpool is also in great need of three points.

They now sit fifth in the league after 18 league games with 11 wins, three draws and four defeats, one point off fourth-placed Chelsea.

The teams between the second and fifth places in the standings are biting each other's points tightly!

There is now only one team in the Premier League title, Manchester City, and from second to fifth, there are four teams vying for second, third and fourth place – meaning Champions League qualification.

Therefore, for Liverpool, there is probably no hope for this season to win the championship, and Liverpool fans do not expect the team to win the championship or anything - after all, there has been no top league championship for more than 20 years, and Liverpool fans are used to it.

But finish in the top four and fight for Champions League qualification!

It's something Liverpool has to do!

As one of the most successful clubs in England, a long-term absence from the Champions League will undoubtedly be fatal to Liverpool's star attraction.

Without the Champions League, not only can it not attract any top stars, but even some big names in the team are clamoring to leave.

Suarez has been in a nose-to-eye with the two giants of La Liga since last season.

Raheem Sterling also appears to be being targeted by some of the big clubs.

This, of course, is very difficult for Liverpool to bear.

And Liverpool's players have also come out to speak.

Captain Steven Gerrard said: "We are the most successful club in England and we will not let Liverpool stay on a record that is a disgrace to Liverpudlians!! ”

Luis Suarez: "Eighteen wins in a row is a great achievement, if Manchester City were against another team, like Manchester United or something, I would be happy to see them win all the games in the first half of the league, but if they play against us in the 19th round, it wouldn't be a great thing. Man City are very strong, but I will show the defenders that I am good! ”

Philippe Coutinho: "No one wants to be a backdrop for a record, we're not just fighting for Liverpool's honour, we're fighting for each and every one of us!!" ”

Liverpool's stars have taken a stand.

.......

December 28, 2013!

Manchester!

Etihad Stadium!!

Beginning at six o'clock in the afternoon, a light rain fell in the cold wind.

There was a little snowflake in the middle of the raindrops.

The air is cold.

The weather in England is wet and cold!

At this time, in the stands of the Etihad Stadium, the atmosphere was already quite enthusiastic!!

The cold wind couldn't get close to the stands, and the heat of the Manchester City fans was enough to warm up the stadium.

On the pitch, the players from both sides have also warmed up and are walking towards the locker room!!

"It's less than twenty minutes until the start of the game!! The players from both sides will make their final preparations in the dressing room as the game gets underway!! ”

On the commentary seat!

Letkinson took off his thick coat and said with some excitement.

"Will Manchester City be able to get their 19th league win of the season, and their 19th consecutive win!! It's up to them to beat the city's arch-rivals in this game... Liverpool!!! ”

"And for Liverpool, if they are beaten by Manchester City, they will forever stay in a rather humiliating record for Liverpudlians!! They will be the backdrop for Manchester City's half-time win!! Not to mention that Manchester and Liverpool are two cities that are bitter enemies of each other, even some other teams may not be able to bear this!! ”

Before the game even started, the commentators were already in the groove!!

........

Inside the away team's dressing room!!

Benitez looked at his players.

He's not a guy who is good at using words to boost the morale of his players.

But before that, he had to say something.

"The importance of this game, I believe everyone will understand!! If we lose, I'm afraid we will be opened up by Chelsea! ”

Benitez said.

He spoke plainly, without passion.

In this case, I am afraid it will be difficult to arouse the fighting spirit of the players.

However, as is customary, after the head coach finished speaking, captain Gerrard began to make the final mobilization before the game!!

"Guys!! I don't want to be used as a backdrop for the other person's success!! The thought of losing this game after the next five years! Decade! Twenty years!! Such a game will be brought up again and again!! And we!! All of you here are going to be remembered forever as losers!! ”

Gerald waved his arms and said!!

"Manchester City is a bird!! Kill them!! ”

Sometimes, when it's all men, swearing can still boost morale!!

Sure enough, in the dressing room, which seemed flat after Benitez spoke, a group of Liverpool players stood up with a scream!!

Benitez breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he doesn't like Gerald to act as a substitute, I'm afraid it's hard for him to say such vulgar words!!

So Benitez had no choice but to see it - otherwise what could he do?

Players from both sides soon met in the players' tunnel!!

Everyone didn't speak, the Manchester City players were very relaxed, they chatted with each other, and of course, there were some players on the other side who knew each other with the players on Manchester City's side, and even teammates in the national team!

But they didn't talk to each other on this occasion.

Because, Manchester City and Liverpool, to some extent, are also quite hostile!
