883 won't disappoint the head

In the last few minutes of the first half, the game was completely controlled by Manchester City.

Liverpool retreats with all hands on deck!

For Liverpool, if they can hold on to a two-goal lead before half-time, they will have a better chance of winning this game.

At half-time, a two-goal lead would give Liverpool more room to adjust.

For Manchester City, they will be hoping to score a goal even if they can't equalise in the first half.

In that case, only one goal down in the second half would make it more likely for City to overtake.

The onslaught of attacks put Liverpool's players under pressure.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then the Liverpool players were happy.

They weathered the toughest moments, and in the second half, Liverpool, with two goals in hand, could have pulled back and played Manchester City's counter-attack.

Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge!

The pace of these three strikers will be a nightmare for the Manchester City defence!

Benitez also breathed a sigh of relief.

But by the time the televised camera locked on the tactician, he had already walked briskly into the tunnel, with only his back visible on the TV screen.

"Benitez has a chance to be the first manager to beat Gobo this season!"

Commentator Lightkinson said.

The title of 'first manager to beat Gobo' will obviously not have any trophies or prizes, but it is clear that if Benitez achieves this achievement, he will forever be engraved in history as a manager who will break an unprecedented winning streak in the Premier League.

When people take stock of Manchester City again decades later, Benitez and his Liverpool will be characters and teams that can never be bypassed.

.......

No one thinks so far away these days.

On the Internet, the discussion of the match reached a climax with the referee blowing the final whistle of the first half.

"After winning the championship and losing.... This is probably the most suitable time for Manchester City to lose..."

'It's a great achievement to win all the league season, but then again, it's a shame to lose with seven games left in the league.

"Master Bei is awesome..."

"Liverpool is a madman for the fourth!"

"Manchester City don't really have to focus on the league experience at all, it's more important than next month's FA Cup final and the Champions League semi-final soon!"

"Tomorrow is the draw for the Champions League semi-finals, and at this stage, I don't see a team that can win against Manchester City, whether it's Juventus, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid."

The fans quickly turned their attention elsewhere.

In fact, even Manchester City's own fans will not care about losing this game, and at most it will be a little regrettable.

And for Liverpool, this game is about the big four games, and.... Dignity!

Although before the game, Liverpool players followed the tradition of lining up at their home stadium to pay tribute to this season's league title.

However, that doesn't mean they're willing.

All the Liverpool players are holding back their energy at the moment, and they must give Manchester City a little color at home.

On the one hand, there is no desire, and on the other hand, there is full of motivation.

Such a result is certainly not surprising.

At least, that's what the commentators of all stripes think.

.......

Liverpool's players were in a good mood in the home dressing room, and it was clear that they also felt that City were unlikely to fight them.

After all, Manchester City won the league and on the road.

It would be too much to lose if you get injured because you are trying too hard and affect the rest of the game – and to put it bluntly, at least the Liverpool players would have thought if they tried to put themselves in the shoes of Manchester City.

It's human nature after all – after all, players aren't robots either.

Having already won the league title, is there any reason to fight for it in this game?

When Gao Bo stood in front of the door of the locker room, even he himself was thinking about this question.

Is it worth it for the players to spend precious energy and even risk injury in a game that doesn't matter and seems meaningless?

Gao Bo pushed open the door to the locker room.

He decided to leave it to the players to figure it out.

With the title already won, he can't ask the players to do more.

He can be very demanding of himself, but... What about others?

Gao Bo is not an unkind piece of wood either.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was not too good.

After all, they are now on the lagging side.

The players were busy with their own business until Gao Bo pushed the door in.

The players' eyes were on the manager.

Gao Bo also looked at his players.

Slightly frustrated.... However, the atmosphere was not too oppressive.

Gao Bo clapped his hands and attracted the attention of the players: "Guys, let's not hide it, when we are two goals behind, the probability of us losing is probably more than seven or eight." ”

"No team can win all the time. That's for sure. We're going to have a moment when we lose. ”

"I thought a lot about it myself before I came in." Gao Bo spread his hands, "Honestly, I don't want to lose, no matter what the game is, I don't want to lose. But.... I know that with the league title winning, I don't want to ask of you more in the league. You've done well enough this season. ”

Gao Bo's voice echoed in the locker room.

The players looked at their manager, and many of them had a hint of guilt in their eyes.

Yes, they didn't take this game seriously enough before they played.

They... I'm starting to get a little distracted from the league game...

However, the manager still wants to win...

So...

What about us?

The players began to reflect.

During the fifteen-minute half-time break, Gao Bo did not make any tactical adjustments.

The silent atmosphere in the locker room made assistant coach Mo Ya look at Gao Bo with some concern.

However, Mo Ya was also quickly relieved.

In the past few years of cooperation, Moya has become very accustomed to trusting Gao Bo.

It's like the players.

They have the trust of the manager.... and love.

They don't want Gao Bo to be disappointed.

When the coaching staff leaves the dressing room and the players are left inside.

Kompany stepped up and as captain he needed to make a statement.

"The boss doesn't want to lose, and we won't want to lose!"

"Guys, we can't let the boss down!"

In the locker room, all the players nodded, and their eyes re-revealed the domineering spirit that belonged to the champion.

Isn't it just two goals behind!

Pan him!
