Chapter 871: Welcome to Glory and Glory
Guardiola's eyes widened and stared at Manchester United's No. 10, who was running briskly, and watched Ibrahimovic rush to Li Liang's side, and the two talked nervously.
Torrent and Arteta on the side both had incredible expressions, and Torrent was surprised: "Is Jose crazy?!"
Give us the best chance to win! β
Arteta saw that the Manchester City manager was silent with a cloud.
Guardiola simply got up and ripped off his scarf, strode to the command area and shouted at the field.
City changed their position again, this time with Gundogan and Otamendi at the end and Fernandinho pressing forward.
The Manchester City coach was enthusiastic, as if he had returned to the years when he was still galloping on the field!
He knew that it was definitely Li Liang's idea to replace Ibrahimovic instead, and he knew that if it weren't for Li Liang's desperate insistence, Mourinho would never have compromised-
In all the years he had been fighting against the magic bird, he had never seen the stubborn, irascible Portuguese next to him compromise with his teammates when he was commanding on the spot.
This game is not only a battle between the top two in the league, nor is it just another Manchester derby destined to go down in history -
In addition to the confrontation between red and blue, in addition to the confrontation between two world-class coaches, in addition to the collision between two completely different football concepts -
Pep Guardiola has no doubt that the battle between himself and the red No. 7 on the field, the battle of the entire Manchester City team for revenge on the red No. 7, has come to the most critical moment!
He would never want to show the slightest weakness and retreat at such a moment, not to mention that his team had one more player on the field!
The advantage is obviously still in the hands of your own side!
The game was clocked in the 89th minute, when Sane fell to the ground without the ball, and the high-intensity reciprocating running throughout the game caused the German to cramp.
Kompany kicked the ball straight off the touchline and the referee stopped the game.
The fourth official was already operating electronic signage on the sidelines and was about to show stoppage time to the whole field.
Li Liang had already shouted to gather his teammates, and the Red Devils surrounded their No. 7 in the middle.
Tang Meng hadn't come back to his senses yet, Lu Yue said: "This is an incomprehensible substitution, does Manchester United still want to win the game at this time?" β
Vieira said to Big Bear, "Lee is really an amazing guy!
I really regret missing him! β
Faria patted Mourinho on the back: "Jose, you've changed!" β
Mourinho scolded: "FXXX!
If you can't even get this 1 point in the end, this kid and I will definitely not be finished! β
Sane quickly stood up and walked to the sidelines, while the fourth official held up a sign alofβ
Six minutes of stoppage time!
When the game resumed, Valencia threw the ball back to their opponent and the City fans in the stands immediately began to applaud.
Eevee turned his head and asked, "Lee, are you sure?!" β
Li Liang nodded firmly: "I swear that there will be no mistake!" β
In the second minute of stoppage time, United cleared the ball at the back and Ibrahimovic scrambled to control the ball near the halfway line.
Seeing that Ibu had advanced a few steps and immediately passed back, the old lord sighed: "Zeratan is also old, he can no longer form a threat with speed!" β
Li Liang immediately pulled sideways to the other side after receiving Ibrahimovic's return pass, this time the Manchester City midfielders did not move en masse easily, but formed a tight division of labor in an instant, Fernandinho stepped up, Kompany protected in the back, and Walker and De Bruyne flanked from both sides.
The Manchester City captain suddenly noticed that Ibrahimovic was not running forward again, but was diagonally between himself and Fernandinho!
Pep Guardiola has already shouted and he has signaled Gundogan to move forward immediately to participate in the protection of Fernandinho.
In the eyes of the Manchester City players who formed the encirclement, the red No.7 seemed to have just reached his best form in this game!
In the huge exclamations and cheers in the stands, the three blue Manchester City players struck the red No. 7 with all their might, as if they were dancing, tossing and turning in the middle of it, always holding the ball firmly at their feet-
Henry's mind suddenly flashed, and he blurted out, "He's waitingβ"
Big Neville asked, "What is he waiting for?!" β
Kompany had already shoutedβ
He was alerting another centre-back, Otamendi, that Manchester United's No.11 Anthony Martial suddenly changed direction and accelerated away, and Otamendi also rushed towards the defensive zone between Kompany and Fernandinho!
Vincent Kompany, Pep Guardiola, Torrent and Arteta on the sidelines realised at the same time that this was no accident!
At the moment when Martial and Ibrahimovic crossed positions, Li Liang, who had not yet gotten rid of the entanglement, happened to face his two teammates-
Otamendi's speed was not enough to see in front of Anthony Martial, Kompany roared and shifted his center of gravity, and in a flash of thought he changed his mind and turned to the other side!
The City captain was not drawn away by Anthony Martial, who appeared to be a more dangerous runner, but stayed where he was and continued to stare at Ibrahimovic.
Mourinho blurted out: "He won't give Antony!" β
Before Faria could ask why there was a loud scream in the stands!
Li Liang continued to pull the ball horizontally and change speed, and after his body completely transferred to the opposite direction of Ibrahimovic, he suddenly turned sideways and confronted De Bruyne -
De Bruyne was already on guard, and he saw that Li Liang was very likely to want to forcibly adjust his center of gravity by colliding with him!
This is the unanimous conclusion reached by the Manchester City players after watching Li Liang's video clips dozens of times -
Now Manchester United's No.7 is stronger than when he was in Monaco, not only has he become physically stronger, but he has also become more capable of "making something out of nothing" by getting rid of his opponents in confrontations!
De Bruyne gritted his teeth and controlled his body, seemingly facing Li Liang but retreating sharply at the last moment!
Sure enough, as he expected, Li Liang was ready to use his left foot to force the ball in reverse, but the center of gravity of Manchester United No. 7 was obviously unable to support the completion of this extremely difficult action!
De Bruyne, Fernandinho, and Walker widened their eyes at the same time -
Yi Bu still recalled Li Liang's words in his mind: "...... If Kompany goes with Anthony, I'll give you the ball, and if Kompany still stares at you, I'll give you the ball......"
The Swedish center was shocked to see that the ball miraculously crossed out of the human and flew towards him at great speed!
As he unloaded the ball with a kick that leaped like a kick, Mourinho shouted: "Because only Zeratan can take a pass like that!" β
Kompany stared at Manchester United's No. 10 in front of him to catch the ball and land, and he didn't rush out because he was worried a little more -
Ibrahimovic landed on the ground and turned sideways to prepare a pass-
Like any top centre-back, Kompany reflexively lifted his leg sideways to try to block -
He even raised his hand and tried his best to block the angle of the pass between Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial, who had opened up a huge gap!
Ibu shook his right ankle and quickly pulled the ball back to his left foot as he did when he was fighting with Li Liang in the AON Center!
Kompany watched as Ibrahimovic pulled the ball sideways and broke through from his other side!
The Theater of Dreams erupted in thunderous cheers, and everyone saw their No. 10 get rid of the Manchester City captain who fell to the ground -
Li Liang had already turned over from the turf and desperately accelerated forward, and in the shouts of the surrounding ground shaking, he saw Ibu adjust slightly and make a push motion towards Ederson, who had abandoned the door-
Li Liang is still rushing forward, and so is Edson-
And Pep Guardiola's roar: "Don't be fooled! β
Ederson pressed his teeth and stared at Ibrahimovic's supporting legs, and the Swede did as Torrent analyzed before the game, and made another pull action at the last moment, trying to complete the pass again with a fake shot!
Great Neville was already shouting, "Zeratanβ"
The old lord and the two disciples roared loudly together: "Kill him!" β
In the midst of a scream, Xiaoyu, who was holding his head high on his feet, saw Ederson fall to the ground and touch the ball!
The ball rolled to the other side, and the referee who lost his balance at his feet and fell to the ground did not say anything!
As soon as the roars and scolding of the stands sounded, they were overpowered by louder exclamations and screamsβ
The old gentleman raised his arms in excitement -
Mourinho has already thrown his fist and roared -
Pogba, who ran from the dressing room to the entrance of the players' tunnel, shouted hoarsely: "Shoot-"
The red number 7 was the first to appear before the ball!
Henry and Big Neville both jumped to their feetβ
All the stands were excited.
ββββββββ
ββββββ
ββββββ
If you encounter difficulties, if you encounter obstacles, if you encounter a thousand times more difficulties on the pitch than before-
If you encounter the restrictions of the manager, if you encounter the suspicions of your teammates, if you encounter the most powerful opponent and the most powerful attack-
There has always been only one solution -
That is, I will collapse like a flood of mountains and seasβ
All the eyes that were staring at the red No. 7 saw at the same time that Li Liang raised his hand and made a burst action-
Then he gently slammed the ball with his right foot, and Otamendi, who desperately put a shovel to try to block, swiped in front of the ball in despair -
Red No. 7 stabilized his center of gravity and quickly made a connecting action, and the biggest and most shocking roar of the game sounded in the stands at the same time-
As if propelled by this piercing sound, he steadily pushed the ball into the empty goal with his left foot!
Li Liang turned around and stood proudly in front of the door, once again holding his head high and stretching out his arms-
Get ready for glory and glory!
