Chapter 1285 - I understand you

Manchester City's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg away to Liverpool was in the spotlight in England.

It has received more attention than a normal League Cup semi-final.

That's because there's a good chance that this game will witness a 'historic defeat' for Manchester City, according to Liverpool's local media.

In fact, it is not unusual for Manchester City to be eliminated from the domestic cup competition.

Last season, last season, last season, they all had similar experiences.

But at that time there was no such uproar as now.

On the one hand, at that time, including Manchester City themselves, were mainly focused on the league and the Champions League. They won the FA Cup once, and that's enough, as if they had completed the achievement, and the achievement was in hand, who would be old enough to brush it up?

On the other hand, it is also related to Manchester City's table xiàn.

Manchester City today are different from those before them, and they are now unbeaten in 77 league games.

Seeing that Manchester City's new record is about to break through the sky.

Plus in the Champions League, Manchester City haven't lost in the Champions League since last season.

This season's League Cup and FA Cup are also all wins.

It seems that Manchester City is now unable to seek a defeat.

Against this backdrop, Liverpool's 1-0 away win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals stood out.

It is enough to make everyone as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

At the very least, it proves that Manchester City are not invincible. They can be defeated.

Liverpool's victory is a big deal, as it will give a boost of confidence and fighting spirit to countless teams that have become accustomed to fearing Manchester City.

However, if they only win Manchester City one game, only to be knocked out of the semi-finals by Manchester City, it will be a heavy blow to those teams who have just regained their confidence.

Everyone, everyone who does not support Manchester City, hopes that Liverpool can successfully stop Manchester City at home and knock Manchester City out of the competition.

Only then will Liverpool's first-round victory be meaningful.

But Rong Guang was very aggressive before the game, saying that he hadn't won enough.

In response to his remarks, Liverpool fans created a giant TIFO (giant banner) in response to him.

As Glory led City out of the Anfield Stadium passage, he looked up and saw the TIFO made by Liverpool fans.

Above is his head bowed in frustration, while next to him are Liverpool players running and cheering. Next to it is written: "I haven't lost enough!" ”

Liverpool fans directly changed the words of glory to another word, and it became a different meaning.

This is a mockery of Glory, suing him that Liverpool will let him not lose enough, and if he loses the first leg in the semi-finals, he will have to lose the second leg!

The live broadcast began to give the large TIFO a lot of close-ups, but Glory's gaze only stayed on it for a second before it was retracted.

His reaction to this TIFO was not evident from his face.

Until the start of the game.

※※※

As soon as the game started, everyone could see how much effort Liverpool put into dealing with Manchester City, and their defense of Glory was really "close".

It is impossible for Rongguang to even want to catch the ball normally, he runs towards the football, and there is always a person by his side.

In a situation like this, it's hard to score goals.

Liverpool's self-confidence may come from this kind of defence against Glory.

But Glory himself remembers that he has been at Manchester City for three and a half seasons, but has yet to win a League Cup.

No matter what happens in the future, at least this season, he must win the League Cup. It doesn't matter how strong the opponent is and how difficult it is.

He wouldn't change his mind.

Since you can't catch the ball well, don't catch it at all.

So the glorious running began to drift around.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is to find that Glory has obviously run more, but they don't understand what it means that Glory has more runs, maybe they think that Glory is running blindly in order to get rid of the defense?

Without the cooperation of his teammates, Glory's running is indeed running blindly.

But if you have the cooperation of your teammates, every step of Glory will have meaning and purpose.

Of course, he has to have a group of teammates who understand him.

Coincidentally, although Kaka and Ibrahimovic do not have a very good relationship with Glory, they understand Glory very well......

So in the twenty-third minute, but when Rongguang moved laterally on the wing, there was no ball at his feet.

It was Ibrahimovic who had the ball.

Ibrahimovic plays as a centre-forward, picking up the ball outside the box with his back to the goal.

Ibrahimovic did not turn around or pass the ball back, he scooped it off the turf with his right foot, clamped it between the instep and calf of his right foot, and then flicked his right leg back.

He tilted his head slightly, and the ball flew past his face and behind him.

At the same time, Glory, who had just moved from the wing to the ribs, suddenly changed direction, turned at a right angle, turned into the penalty area, and he scurried between the two Liverpool defenders and appeared behind the Liverpool backline with the football!

"Rong-!"

John Mortensen exclaimed.

There were also huge boos from the Liverpool fans in the stands, who were already aware of what was going to happen next.

Glory came out of the middle of Liverpool's backline and received a ball from Ibrahimovic's back.

He didn't stop the ball, but picked up his right leg and volleyed the ball Ibrahimovic picked up!

Bang, the football flew straight to the back point of the goal, although Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina made a save, but did not touch the football, because the force of Rongguang's kick was too great, the football was too fast, and he couldn't make the most timely reaction at the first time!

The ball went straight into the back corner of the goal!

"Bleaching-Bright-!!"

When the ball hit the net, there was a sudden silence in the noisy Anfield stadium.

Everyone was stunned by the glorious goal, they didn't expect Manchester City to put football into their goal like this.

When Ibrahimovic got the ball with his back to the fans, Liverpool's defence was so solid that he couldn't even turn his body.

But in a blink of an eye, the football entered the Liverpool penalty area, and then the glory came out of nowhere, appeared behind the football, and with a volley, the ball went in!

The goal came so fast, like a tornado......

After the goal, Glory still didn't hug Ibrahimovic, but he pointed at Ibrahimovic and then turned and ran to the corner flag to celebrate.

That's when the voices began to start to sound in the stands – the cheers of the Manchester City fans, and the boos, exclamations, sighs, and curses of the Liverpool fans who were gradually coming to their senses.

Anfield Stadium is finally back in the world from the graveyard, and it's finally a little angry.

"Just 23 minutes into the game, Manchester City tied the aggregate score between the two sides at 1:1! Although the Carabao Cup semi-finals are not about away goals, I think this goal will definitely have a completely different effect and impact on the morale and confidence of both teams! ”

John Mortensen was right, the Manchester City players excitedly pounced on Glory and Ibrahimovic who passed the ball, while the Liverpool players looked a little dazed - how the ball was lost, many people may not have understood it, many people reacted when the football was already in the penalty area, and what they saw was the back of Glory picking up his right leg and volleying.

But how the ball got into the box and appeared behind the Liverpool backline, many people don't know.

Didn't Ibrahimovic get the ball with his back to goal?

Isn't there no way he can turn around?

So how did he pass the football through?

In fact, it is not only the players on the field, but also the fans in the stands who may not see it clearly.

Only the audience in front of the TV captured that moment.

Ibrahimovic didn't look back, directly picked the ball over the top, and Rongguang was also very tacit and decisive to cut forward, the timing was just right, if he ran a little early, offside, if he ran late, it was very likely that he would not be able to hit such a beautiful direct volley.

It was a glorious shot, but Ibrahimovic was just as beautiful.

Both are indispensable.

And this is Manchester City now.

Glory and Ibrahimovic don't have a good relationship, but they can play that kind of combination in the game.

Glory and Kaka also have a bad relationship, but let's not forget the FA Cup game against Manchester United, who passed it when Glory scored the winner at the end.

Therefore, what seems to outsiders to be a time bomb within the team has become a rocket booster that pushes Manchester City forward.

Now it seems that the envy and hatred of other teams for Manchester City are justified......

The reason for the failure of others has become the reason for success!

How can other people, you say, not vomit blood?
