Judging by the two consecutive strong conversations, Liverpool's performance did not disappoint.

Building on last season's maturation, the new season has gone one step further, with neither slacking off nor making major mistakes in construction after a stellar achievement.

In particular, Koeman is satisfied that the strong temperament cultivated by the team can promote Liverpool even more.

Manchester City has put more energy on defense, and the two teams are often caught in hand-to-hand combat, and the game scene is not particularly good, because the Manchester City team is mainly sabotage, not to mention that they can't play a smooth attack, which also makes it difficult for Liverpool to play a mercury attack smoothly.

At the end of the first half, there was an atmosphere of disappointment at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City fans naturally want the team to soar like Chelsea in the past, with the backing of a strong back-of-house capital.

However, they did not win Tottenham in the first round and fell behind Liverpool by two goals at home in the second round.

Is Manchester City part of the title race?

It seems that the season has just begun, and the arrival of the Reds has told the world with actions: Manchester City want to compete for the title? No kidding.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The scene was intense, but not exciting enough.

Qin Xiong clashed with Richards in the 57th minute of the game.

When Richards used a dangerous tackle to put Qin Xiong to the ground with the ball, Qin Xiong, who was originally dissatisfied with Manchester City's successive fouls, broke out in an instant.

He roared angrily at Richards.

"Boy, be honest with me! Your actions won't hurt me, but they will make your image dirty! ”

In fact, Qin Xiong is only three years older than Richards, but in Qin Xiong's eyes, a rising star like Richards is really a "hairy boy".

Richards scolded Qin Xiong angrily, and the players of both teams rushed over and opened their camps to confront each other, and the scene was tense and gunpowder-like.

The referee came over to separate the players of the two teams, and then called Richards and Qin Xiong in front of him, and first said some routine words to the two. Then showed Qin Xiong a yellow card, and before Qin Xiong could protest, the referee showed Richards a red card!

"Oops, Richards paid for his uncool dangerous tackle moves!

He was sent off. Manchester City played one man less. ”

'It's almost the end of the game and Liverpool will take all three points away at the Etihad Stadium.'

Mancini was furious on the sidelines, annoyed by Richards' hot-headed behaviour, and he had to make a substitution at this time, so he had to reluctantly replace David Silva. Wing-back Zabaleta was brought on to keep the defensive line tight.

But after this substitution, the Manchester City team, which has played one less, is gone.

There was no hope of an equaliser.

With one man missing from the Manchester City attack, Liverpool will no longer be afraid of the Manchester City midfield, as they can have two full-backs who can move up and down with impunity to assist, and Liverpool's attack can make further use of the width of the pitch.

Manchester City fell into total passivity, completely beaten by Liverpool's pressing attack.

In the 74th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received a pass from Aurelio in front of the penalty area.

He took two lateral steps in front of the penalty area and then fired a long-range shot, but with a flick of his ankle, he sent a through ball.

Raul and Torres tore through the back line in the box and provided cover for Gerrard, who was cut in behind.

Steven Gerrard stepped forward to receive the ball in the box. Then he used the outside of his right foot to shoot the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Joe Hart was also frustrating in the game, as he made a good save from a high end but still allowed Liverpool to score the third goal.

Gerrard smiled and gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up after scoring the goal, and then the Reds celebrated at the Etihad Stadium.

Coman was reassured, and after the applause, he turned and walked to the dugout to sit down, and he could drink his saliva peacefully.

Roberto Mancini sat helplessly, although he had been in charge of Manchester City for more than half a year, the run-in period of the team was longer than expected due to the arrival of new players in the summer.

You may not be able to see an average opponent, but you can play against a top opponent like Liverpool. It is resolute not to make mistakes, and Manchester City has not only caught the weakness of Liverpool in this game, but also made a lot of mistakes.

"Liverpool sealed the win! Red Army captain Steven Gerrard also broke his fast. He scored his first goal of the season.

Qin Xiong gave him an assist, and this goal allowed Liverpool to win the game safely, Manchester City had no chance, no chance! ”

Two minutes later, Liverpool made a substitution, with Coman bringing on Kuyt for Raul. then replaced Alonso with Lucas, and finally replaced Qin Xiong with Babbel.

Liverpool played a solid defensive counter-attack, narrowing the formation a little, giving City a breathing opportunity while also consuming as much game time as possible.

Manchester City is in torment, like a trapped beast, and there is nothing to be done against the Red Army, who have already stabbed them three times!

Only the singing of Reds fans echoed in the stands at the Etihad Stadium, and the Blue Moon fans seemed to have been drained of all life in their bodies, numbly watching the game inside the stadium.

They have reason to be disappointed.

Invested more than 100 million pounds in the summer for two consecutive seasons, which is definitely a giant-level investment, but the team was crushed by the traditional giants at home!

That's right, Liverpool crushed Manchester City today!

The strength and arrogance shown made Blue Moon feel powerless and helpless!

When the final whistle blew, the Reds fans collectively shouted from the stands.

Sonic boom!

"The game is over, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3-0 away, the defending champions have won two consecutive victories, and the performance continues to be stable, while Manchester City has only one point from two rounds of winless games in the new season, 5 points behind the top two in the table, it seems that their start is not good, the pressure on Mancini's shoulders is one more point, Manchester City still has a long way to go to try to break the suppression of traditional giants!"

Coman stood up to shake Mancini's hand before walking down the tunnel.

Qin Xiong was blunt about the conflict between him and Richards in an interview after the game: "Some opponents foul me, I can understand, because it is a tactical foul, as long as the purpose of the foul is achieved, it is enough, this is a very common phenomenon on the football field, but some players foul is not, I don't care if he has a hot brain, or if he does it intentionally, but that kind of dirty and irresponsible behavior that hurts others is something I don't agree with."

I know there will be some people who will say I'm complaining, but it's necessary for me to make such a noise because I'm defending myself! ”

Richards expressed his innocence after the game and shirked the blame to Qin Xiong, believing that Qin Xiong's overreaction was an uncool behavior.

The FA sided with Liverpool in this incident and they began to investigate Richards' foul and could extend his suspension. (To be continued.) )
