Chapter 1038: The Roundest Football

Brighton's home stadium, nicknamed "The Seagulls", on May 5, former Reds star Carragher in the commentary booth of the "American Express Community Stadium" was talking.

'Manchester United played hard and after a long flight from Spain they had to prepare in less than 48 hours.

Jose rotated more than half of his main players, with Lee, Romelu, Eric (Bayi), Antonio (Valencia) and Alexis all not starting. ”

Big Neville nodded: "Lee and Romelu and Alexis didn't even make it to the squad, they were all treated in Manchester-

The midweek game cost Manchester United too much. ”

Cheers suddenly erupted in the physiotherapy room of the AON Center, and Li Liang, who was naked, sat up directly and shouted excitedly, even grinning and laughing in his thighs that were still crying out pain just now.

In the picture, Mata excitedly rushed to the sideline and jumped high and punched, and the voices of Carragher and Big Neville rang out at the same time: "The ball is in!"

Juan breaks the deadlock! ”

The little monster sighed: "We're still alive!" ”

At halftime, the commercial began to be played, and the score of 1:0 made everyone in the physiotherapy room feel good.

The second half started quickly, and in the 73rd minute of the game, Ibrahimovic stood on the sidelines and cheered at the same time.

The little monster said, "...... It's a shame that Zeratan deserves a greater season. ”

Li Liang, who was the first to finish treatment, got up and replied: "We still have 4 games, and there are still opportunities!" ”

In the 89th minute, Ibrahimovic was knocked down by Brighton's big England centre-back Dunk when he received Anthony Martial's cross in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty!

At the same time, the referee showed Dunk a second yellow card, and after being sent off, Brighton were reduced to 10 men.

Li Liang and everyone shouted: "Give the ball to Zeratan!" ”

In the picture, Pogba picked up the ball as if he heard the shouts of everyone in the AON center, and went straight to Ibrahim, who had just stood up, and handed him the ball!

Big Neville's voice was a little excited: "We see that there will be three minutes of stoppage time -

If Zelatan can score his first individual goal of the season, then United will seal the win. ”

Carragher calmed down slightly: "Well, let's see.

Manchester City's game will be played tomorrow, so Manchester United will have 92 points after this game, and they will temporarily overtake Manchester City with 90 points to move to the top of the league table! ”

In the picture, the referee has already whistled, and Ibrahimovic has begun to run vigorously.

The Swedish centre-forward pushes the ball into the bottom left corner and Brighton's Australian goalkeeper Ryan pounces on the other side!

β€œyeah!!!”

There was cheering in the treatment room.

……

After the next day's treatment, Li Liang returned to the hotel early and was restless until dinner.

Xiao Yu smiled: "Brother Liangzi, the pressure on Manchester City should be greater than you now!" ”

Li Liang sighed: "Their opponents in the remaining 3 games are not strong, in terms of their strength, ......"

Xiaoyu interjected: "But football is round, and anything can happen until the last minute!" ”

After a hurried dinner, the two sat down in front of the TV early, and Henry and Carragher had already introduced the situation on the scene at the crowded Ittihad.

What makes Li Liang feel heavy is that Henry and Carragher agree that Manchester City will continue to regain the top spot after this game.

Henry also reflected on United's game at Camp Nou: "...... Seriously, I was blown away by their performance.

From a rational point of view, Manchester United and Barcelona are at a disadvantage in every way, but the end result is the opposite of what everyone expected. ”

Carragher continued: "It reminds me of Monaco last season, who also made it all the way to the final without being favoured......

Henry shrugged his shoulders in the picture: "I don't think so.

Starting with the Monaco side that started with the elimination of Manchester City, we should recalibrate their ratings.

At that time, the strength of Lee, Killian and a few others was not really known-

Jamie [Carragher], if you compare the total value of Manchester United now excluding Lee, and then calculate the Monaco ...... including Lee, Killian and all the main players last season"

Carragher nodded frequently: "Indeed, in terms of overall strength, the current Manchester United may not be much better than Monaco last season......"

Henry replied, "Maybe weaker." ”

Carragher then asked: "What about Real Madrid?"

What do you think, thierry? ”

Henry laughed: "I know everyone in Madrid, from Cristiano to Karim [Benzema].

For them, especially in the past few seasons, it's hard to predict their true quality.

Maybe they can play the best game in the world in this game, but they can also lose to Espanyol or LeganΓ©s in the next game......"

Xiaoyu said to Li Liang: "I see that the Internet says that Real Madrid's football is 'metaphysics', and Zidane is 'Xuanzong'. ”

Li Liang also laughed: "It's kind of like that, but-"

He became serious: "No matter what, they are all Real Madrid. ”

The Manchester City and Huddersfield game has finally begun.

The game lasted less than 5 minutes, and Li Liang and Xiao Yu became nervous.

Xiaoyu asked, "Brother Liangzi, Huddersfield won against you in the first half of the season, right?"

Why haven't you touched the ball yet? ”

Li Liang stared at the TV screen: "They are determined to defend today."

They are still in the relegation zone, just like West Ham United, where we will play next, and now they can save a point by grabbing a point! ”

Manchester City, who put on the strongest attacking line, firmly suppressed the opponent in the half, and the Blue Moon Army attacked like a tide under the organization of Sheva and De Bruyne.

Seeing that Gabriel Jesus, Sterling and Sane had successive good opportunities, Xiaoyu couldn't help but scream repeatedly, and Li Liang was even more engrossed.

The first half of the game ended with a one-sided comparison of data, and the only closest statistic turned out to be the score -

0:0。

Carragher said: "Huddersfield gave up on attacking and their goal was very clear to take one point away from the Etihad. ”

Thierry Henry continued: "81 per cent and 19 per cent possession......

The corners also reached 6:0......

I think Pep will miss Vincent [Vinpanie] at this point, and if he's on the pitch City might be able to open things up with a header. ”

At the start of the second half, Huddersfield's attack picked up slightly but was soon overwhelmed by the blue frenzy on the pitch again.

Li Liang suddenly shook Xiaoyu's hand: "Don't be too nervous......

How am I absolutely sure that the ball of the Etihad today is particularly round? ”

As the minutes ticked by, Guardiola rarely waved his arms and shouted in the command area.

In the 75th minute, Manchester City ran out of three substitutions, with veterans Yaya Toure and Bernardo Silva, and French big centre-back Laporte all on the pitch.

The comparison of the two sides was once again on the screen, with City unable to knock on the opponent's door after the 13th shot and the 8th corner.

Li Liang's heart began to beat violently as he saw the electronic sign in the picture where the fourth official was already standing on the sidelines preparing for stoppage time.

As the 3-minute stoppage time came to an end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game as Toure's close-range shot went wide in the countdown -

Li Liang and Xiao Yu jumped up at the same time and raised their arms to cheer loudly, and then hugged each other tightly-

Both Henry and Carragher on TV were excited, and Henry exclaimed, "...... With two rounds remaining, Manchester United are finally back at the top of the league table!

After being suppressed by their city rivals for almost an entire season, they have now seen the champion! ”
