Chapter 344: Big Hat Trick! (Part 2)
"Mangala's mentality collapsed."
John. Mortensen and Lineker also discussed the topic at half-time.
Before the game, Mangala jumped out to speak, he said that he wanted to freeze Jiang Chenxi's remarks, it can be seen that the French defender has ideas for today's game, but the more he thinks about it, the more he makes mistakes, after accidentally scoring an own goal at the beginning, Mangala's mentality began to have problems, he is afraid that there will be mistakes, he is emotionally nervous, in this case, whenever he is under the pressure of the opponent's attack, he is afraid of making mistakes again and is emotionally nervous, which leads to continuous mistakes.
Lineker and John. Mortensen was discussing whether Manuel Pellegrini would make a change before the start of the second half to replace the in-form Mangala.
'If I were Pellegrini, I would replace Mangala and the French defender today was a ticking time bomb!' Lineker said.
"Not a ticking time bomb!" John. Mortenson shook his head, "It's a chain of bombs that have exploded twice, and maybe three or four times." ”
……
The second half began.
The crowd noticed that Mangala was not substituted.
However, Mangalini is clearly aware that things are not going well here at Mangala and he has made a change: Mangala and Demichelis have switched positions.
"It seems that Pellegrini chose to trust Demichelis at a critical moment, and the Argentine veteran will face the impact of Jiang in the second half!"
Pellegrini and Demichelis are 'old partners', when the two were in Malaga, Pellegrini entrusted Demichelis with great use, and later came to Manchester City from Malaga and began to coach Manchester City, the first thing Pellegrini did was to bring in Demichelis from Malaga.
It's a trust that has stood the test of time and the game.
However, just three minutes into the second half, Pellegrini's change of position had an effect.
Liverpool's attack was not too threatening, Jiang Chenxi's header rubbed to Salah, Salah stopped the ball a little farther away from his body, Liverpool's attack was about to end here, however, Demichelis didn't know what to think, he didn't chase the ball, but hugged Salah directly.
It was a reckless foul choice.
The referee's whistle blew, Demichelis was verbally warned by the referee, and Liverpool were given a chance to take a free-kick in front.
……
Lallana's free-kick goes into the box.
The tall Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk leaped high and flicked his head at goal, and Joe Hart made a good save, but the save did not end Liverpool's attack and the ball fell into the box.
Jiang Chenxi cleverly captured the landing point, he used the running position to shake off Kolarov, Demichelis hurriedly kept up with Jiang Chenxi's pace, at this time, an accident appeared, and when Demichelis turned around, he suddenly slipped and fell down.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Jiang Chenxi was also shocked, however, his reaction was very fast, it was completely out of the shooter's instinctive reaction, he rushed directly to the football, half-turned and volleyed.
With such a close-range shot, Joe Hart couldn't do anything about it, the ball passed under his armpit and flew into the net!
“Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal!”
"Jiang! The ball is in! Entered! Three to one! Liverpool once again opened the score gap! ”
"It's a stupid conceded goal!" John. Mortensen unceremoniously criticized, "Demichaelis's stupid foul gave Liverpool a free kick, and then he continued his poor performance, and even slipped himself when defending a star of Jiang's level, in the face of such a good opportunity, how could Jiang miss it?!" ”
"If Manchester City lose today, it will be inseparable from the disastrous performance of the two centre-backs! Pellegrini swapped Demichelis and Mangala, but he probably didn't expect that Demichelis's disastrous performance was not bad at all compared to Mangala! ”
……
Three to one!
In the forty-eighth minute of the game, Jiang Chenxi seized the mistake in the Manchester City penalty area and scored in front of the goal, helping the team rewrite the score to 3-1, and he himself scored twice in today's game!
Jurgen Klopp high-fived his aides on the sidelines in celebration, while Pellegrini covered his face with his hands not far away, and he was already so angry that he had nothing to say about the goal.
Especially when Mangala was in very bad form, he chose to give Demichelis his trust and put the defensive responsibility and hope on the Argentine veteran, but he didn't expect that just three minutes into the second half, Demichelis made such a serious mistake, and it was in the process of conceding the goal that he made two defensive mistakes in a row, which made Pellegrini no longer know what to say.
"Three to one! Liverpool led Manchester City by two goals away, and as soon as the second half began, Liverpool gave Manchester City another blow!! ”
"This is Jiang Chenxi! His ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is too strong, Demichelis suddenly slipped and fell, if Jiang Chenxi reacted a little slower, the mangala next to him would have time to clear the siege, but it was obvious that Jiang Chenxi's reaction was the fastest, and he had already completed the shooting and scoring before everyone reacted! ”
……
The huge Etihad Stadium boos shook the sky, Manchester City fans may be able to reluctantly accept the team losing at home, however, they can't accept the team losing the game in this way, although Jiang Chenxi is indeed very strong and in hot form, but, you know, Liverpool's three goals are all from their own mistakes, which is tantamount to giving away the victory, making such mistakes in the focus of the top game, and making consecutive mistakes, this is unforgivable, Manchester City fans feel that aggrieved.
However, the Manchester City team's defensive team did not end the show in this game.
The 55th minute of the game.
Kolarov passes back to Mangala.
The return pass was too powerful, and Mangala made a mistake with the first stop, and he immediately chased back.
Mangala guards the ball and seems to be thinking about what to do with the ball, is it the return pass to the goalkeeper? Still is......
Just then, Firmino suddenly rushed from behind him.
Firmino squeezed the muscular Mangala alive and then dribbled forward, his speed not too fast, but he also shook Mangala clean.
Then Firmino crosses and Salah pushes it in the box!
The football was pounced on by Joe Hart!
Before the City fans could cheer for the goal to be safe, a figure appeared in front of the football.
It's Jiang Chenxi!
His body stared at Demichelis behind him, and he shot with his feet!
The ball rolls into the net without any suspense!
Four to one!
“Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal!”
"Jiang Chenxi! Shoot! Shoot! The ball --- in! Come in! The third! Jiang Chenxi scored a hat trick! It was his third consecutive hat-trick after the games against Chelsea and Southampton! Hat-trick hat-trick! This is an incredible achievement! It's amazing! It's amazing! He Wei shouted, "Four to one!" Jiang Chenxi's hat trick! Liverpool lead leaders Manchester City 4-1 away! Incredible game, incredible Jiang Chenxi! ”
Jiang Chenxi was running to celebrate the goal, he spread his arms high, made a glider celebration gesture, and ran and flew over the Etihad Stadium.
Jurgen Klopp jumped on the sidelines and cheered for the goal!
Manuel Pellegrini jumped up and down excitedly on the sidelines, turning and waving his fists at the stands, as if celebrating a goal, or like he was going to grab Mangala or Demichelis and beat him up.
