Chapter 94: Hat-trick, King-like Celebration, Ask Anfield, Who Is the Real King?
Liverpool fans are lamenting, and Manchester City fans are lamenting.
It deserves to be Anfield, and it deserves to be an old giant.
The team that can play inextricably with Manchester City in the attack, I am afraid that there is only Liverpool in the entire Premier League!
At the end of the first half, with a one-goal lead, City returned to the dressing room.
Before leaving, Lin Quan also took a special look at the Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium.
After singing for more than half an hour, the Reds fans also seemed tired.
Compared to the beginning, Anfield has become a lot quieter!
Well!
That's good!
In the dressing room of the home team, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is enthusiastically mobilizing the players.
In fact, it doesn't need to be said much, just a sentence of 'this is Anfield' can make Liverpool's players instantly ignite their fighting spirit.
Especially for Liverpool's captain, Steven Gerrard, who values Liverpool's honour and dignity above all else.
Meanwhile, in the visitors' dressing room, Manuel Pellegrini is making the final move.
"Lin, how is it like to play at Anfield?"
"Great!"
"Would you like another hat-trick?"
"Of course!"
Pellegrini was very satisfied with Lin Quan's answer, and then looked at Aguero.
'Aquin, how does it feel to shut up the Liverpudlians with a goal?'
Aguero straightened his chest and said proudly: "Excellent! ”
"Hehe, then enter them one more and shut them up forever!"
"Hey, hey, happy!"
……
Manuel Pellegrini spoke to each player one by one and boosted the players' morale in different ways.
When they came out of the dressing room, the fighting spirit of the Manchester City players was like a scorching sun, and it was impossible to look at directly.
On the other hand, the Liverpool players seemed to be burning with the flames of revenge, rolling hot.
Obviously, the two teams will continue the offensive tactics of the first half in the second half, and no one will take half a step back!
In the stands, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger came to the scene to observe the battle for the top spot up close.
His side are set to meet Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals, the third meeting between the two teams this season.
The first two times Arsenal drew one and lost one, and in the game when they drew with Manchester City, the opponent was still on the bench, which did not have much reference value.
Therefore, Arsene Wenger intends to come to the scene to take a look at Manchester City's recent form and see if they have experienced problems such as form slippage due to the drag of third-line operations.
There is no reason why Arsenal collapses at the end of each season and other teams don't collapse!
Manchester City have played no less than Arsenal this season, and the fact that Manchester City's fixtures have been more dense than Arsenal's in recent times has left Wenger with some expectations.
This season's league champions, Arsenal, are completely out of play, but if they can win an FA Cup, it doesn't seem bad?
The FA Cup is not as big as the league, but it's much more important than the League Cup.
Arsenal haven't won a title for 10 years!
Unlike Liverpool's 20 years without a title, their 10-year absence of a title is truly without a title.
Liverpool just don't win the league title, but they do have a Champions League trophy, in addition to four League Cups and three FA Cups.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have not won the league, the Champions League, the FA Cup or even the League Cup.
Arsenal can't be without a championship all the time, and if it continues like this, the team's morale will be completely scattered.
So, no matter what, we have to win the FA Cup this season.
"Let's fight, fight to the death with Liverpool!"
Arsenal can't afford to win the title, so it doesn't matter who wins or loses this game.
Arsene Wenger's only hope is that City will be able to spend a little more against Liverpool so that they have a better chance of winning in the FA Cup semi-finals in a few days' time.
It seems that Wenger's heart was heard, and the second-half play between Manchester City and Liverpool was a hell of a game.
In the 55th minute, Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City's clearance error, and Coutinho scored again to help the team equalize again.
The score on the field became 3:3!
Manchester City soon returned to color!
In the 61st minute, De Bruyne scored directly with a free kick to rewrite the score to 4:3!
In the 67th minute, Lin Quan's long-range shot contributed to the hat-trick and helped Manchester City rewrite the score to 5:3 and extend the lead to 2 goals.
After the goal, Lin Quan made the same move he did at Old Trafford again - cocked his collar, looked around the pitch, and asked Anfield, who is the real king?
This arrogant gesture made the Reds fans at the scene boo!
This kid is so rampant that he is trying to be king at Anfield!
But their boos looked so pale in front of Lin Quan's hat trick.
Boos can't kill your opponent, but scoring goals can!
Compared to the angry Liverpool fans, Manchester City fans were overjoyed at this time.
"Emperor Lin is domineering!"
"Haha, I like the celebration of Emperor Lin's hat trick!"
"Let's give Emperor Lin a name for this celebratory action!"
"It's called a kingly celebration?"
"It's not good, Ronaldo's is called SIU, and Lin Huang's is called king!"
"Why is it called a king's celebration? Is there any explanation for this? ”
"Because Cantona used this kind of celebration, and Cantona is nicknamed King!"
"Hehe, Cantona probably never imagined that Lin Huang not only used his celebratory moves, but also used them against Manchester United!"
"Cantona seems to have mentioned this matter in an interview with reporters, and he said that he wanted to talk to Lin Huang about it!"
"Haha, what are you talking about? Talking about royalties? ”
"Anyway, did you notice? It seems that Lin Huang only celebrates in this way when he faces the top giants, after completing a hat-trick! ”
"It seems that this is the case, Lin Huang has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League several times this season, except for Manchester United and this one, I have never used such a flamboyant way of celebration at other times!"
"In other words, this method is specifically aimed at the wealthy?"
"Counting Liverpool in this game, Lin Huang has already completed a hat trick at the home of two giants!"
"Manchester United (GET√), Liverpool (GET√, Chelsea next or Arsenal?'
"Gun fans are trembling!"
"Fans are trembling!"
"Emperor Lin, don't come here!"
……
As the battle for the top spot in the end-of-season title race, there were a lot of people watching this game.
In addition to the more than 50,000 fans who came to watch the game, hundreds of millions of fans tuned in online and on television.
Although this data is not as good as the exaggerated result of 1 billion viewers watched at the same time by Manchester United and Arsenal in the 07-08 season, it is also a very good rating in the Premier League in recent years.
Especially for an upstart like Manchester City, who has little background and a small fan base around the world, it is even more valuable.
Of course, many of these fans are coming for Lin Quan.
Including some German fans, some Spanish fans and a large number of Chinese fans.
If there is no Lin Quan in the Manchester City team, this rating may drop by half.
After all, the five major leagues are coming to an end, and if you want to talk about the heat of the championship, it is obviously more intense and exciting in La Liga.
In the last few rounds of the league, the three La Liga heroes bit the scoreline very hard, and all three teams have hopes of winning the championship.
So, for the fans, this season's La Liga title race is very good!
In comparison, the Premier League is a little lacking, after all, Manchester City's lead is too big.
But for the viewers who choose to watch this game, this game is definitely worth the ticket price!
In just over 60 minutes, the two teams have already scored eight goals, an average of one goal every eight minutes.
Such a goal battle is addicted to those neutral fans who watched it!
But Liverpool and Manchester City fans watched with horror and the mood went up and down like a rollercoaster.
It wasn't until they saw Manchester City extend their lead that Blue Moon fans were reassured.
With this score, Liverpool can't turn the tables again, right?
The score of 5:3 made the Reds fans at Anfield almost despair!
They managed to score a goal, and the opponent scored two goals with two clicks.
Every time I see a little hope, I am immediately snuffed out by the other party.
Why are Manchester City so difficult?
Although the opponent was wearing a blue jersey, Liverpool fans looked at the Red Devils all over their eyes.
Manchester's team is really haunted, they have survived Manchester United, and Manchester City has risen again!
It's so hard for me Liverpool!
Liverpool are a team that has created miracles in Istanbul, and their resilience is indeed strong.
When an ordinary team encounters this kind of game that equalizes again and again but falls behind again and again, I am afraid that the spirit and fighting spirit will be exhausted in falling behind again and again.
But Liverpool didn't!
Under Steven Gerrard's leadership, even after two goals down, they still stubbornly attacked Manchester City.
Suarez, who has yet to score, has been very positive at this time.
In the 72nd minute, a clash broke out between the two in a scramble with Manchester City defender Zabaleta.
Suarez had long been unhappy with Manchester City's defenders, and at this time he was completely enraged, and in a hurry, he opened his bloody mouth and bit Zabaleta's shoulder.
Zabaleta was about to return to his defensive position when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder and immediately let out a scream.
The referee quickly stopped the game and ran over to show Suarez a red card and ejected him from the pitch.
Suarez has a history of biting, having been banned for 10 games by the FA for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a game last season.
The referee did not detect his foul and did not make a timely decision, which caused a lot of controversy after the game.
So, since then, the referees who enforce Liverpool have one more job: keep an eye on Suarez and don't let him bite!
Originally, this season was nearing the end, and Suarez's performance after his return from the ban was quite honest, and there was no such bad behavior.
The referees thought he had reformed and started again.
I didn't expect this guy to dare to do it again!
This time, the referee will never miss the penalty again, and he will definitely not show mercy to his men.
Suarez was still unconvinced by the referee's decision, chattering as if he was saying something, and was unwilling to get off the field.
Gerrard didn't know what conflict broke out between Suarez and Zabaleta, but when he saw Suarez receiving a red card, he quickly ran over to dissuade Suarez.
"Louis, don't talk about it, forget about today's unpleasantness, let's go and rest!"
That's all I can say.
Last time he was banned for 10 games for biting, I am afraid that the punishment this time will be heavier.
Suarez was already in his mind, and if he was banned again at this time, he was more likely to leave.
Gerrard has worked with a lot of players and he knows Suarez's quality very well, he is one of the best strikers in the world!
For Liverpool, Suarez's attacking firepower up front is indispensable.
Once Suarez leaves, Liverpool's attacking firepower will inevitably drop.
This means that if there are no targeted reinforcements in the summer window to strengthen the team, Liverpool's results are likely to decline next season.
Thinking of this, Gerald couldn't help but sigh.
This season, Liverpool's record has finally improved, and they see the hope of winning the title.
As a result, I was unlucky to meet Manchester City!
Even if they meet Manchester City, even if they don't work this season, keep this squad, and next season, they still have a chance.
However, Suarez is leaving, and as soon as he leaves, it will be difficult for Liverpool to win the championship again.
As the captain of Liverpool, he has played for the team for so many years, but he has not been able to bring even a league championship trophy to the team, which makes Gerrard very remorseful and chagrined.
He's 34 years old and I'm afraid he won't be able to play for Liverpool for too long.
Before he retired, Gerrard's biggest wish was to see the Reds win the league again.
But glancing at the young faces of Manchester City across the street, Gerrard shook his head.
I am afraid that this wish will not be realized.
Without Suarez, Liverpool's offensive immediately weakened by more than half and was unable to rewrite the score.
City were pleased with the result, as they scored five goals at Anfield, breaking the record for most Liverpool concede at Anfield in nearly 20 years.
With Liverpool having been beaten 8-0 at home to Huddersfield Town and 9-1 to Birmingham City, City have no chance of handing the Reds a new record.
Otherwise, they'd be really interested in giving it a try.
In the end, with Lin Quan's hat-trick, Manchester City defeated the league's direct rival Liverpool 5-3 away in this battle for the top spot.
At the end of the game, City's lead over Liverpool extended to 10 points, but thanks to Chelsea's away win in this round of fixtures, they overtook Liverpool to second place.
Therefore, Manchester City is now nine points ahead of second place, and with four rounds of the league remaining, the next game can basically be won in advance as long as they are on the field.
Manchester City are getting closer and closer to their second league title!
……
Just when Manchester City beat Liverpool and extended their league lead.
An interesting thing happened here in La Liga.
When Manchester City eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League using a long ball rushing tactic, the BBC once praised this tactic in the report, and believed that this tactic could restrain Barcelona.
It seems that they have listened to the BBC's brainwashing, and a team in La Liga, who did not want to be named, plans to try it in the next game against Barcelona to see if Manchester City's long-pass rush really works.
As a result, they really succeeded, and the Barcelona players had just been defeated by Manchester City using this tactic, and when they saw their league opponents using this tactic, their hearts instantly panicked.
Their defenders and midfielders seemed to remember the fear of being dominated by Manchester City and played very tangled in the game, neither daring to go up nor to go back.
The result was really beaten 1:0 by Granada, who were far weaker than them!
In the final sprint of this championship race, Barcelona unexpectedly dropped the chain.
If everyone loses, it doesn't matter, but Real Madrid beat Almeria 4-0 at home, and Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 away, both of which got the crucial three points.
So, after this game, Barcelona, which was originally only one point behind Atletico Madrid, was opened up by the opponent by 4 points.
Even Real Madrid, which was directly defeated by them in the strong duel and overwhelmed one head, surpassed Barcelona in points and rose to the second place in the league with this victory.
If this point difference is maintained until the last game, it will be a very embarrassing situation for Barcelona:
If they draw at home or even lose to Atletico, they will sit back and watch them win the title on their home turf.
But if they win against Atletico, then they will give the league title to Real Madrid, who have a huge goal difference!
Either of these results is difficult for Barcelona to accept.
But they don't have the initiative themselves, who told them to drop the chain by themselves!
After the game, the Barcelona fans who were originally dissatisfied with Martino's team losing the Champions League completely lost their patience with Martino.
This guy has been in the team for a year and has broken many records for Barcelona:
For the first time in the past six years, the league ranking fell out of the top two, and for the first time in the past six years, the Champions League failed to reach the semi-finals!
The old foundation of the Dream Three Dynasty is about to be defeated by this guy!
As a result, the call for a change of manager at the club is getting louder and louder.
After losing the support of the fans, Martino's good days at Barcelona have basically come to an end.
At the end of the season, even if Martino himself does not leave the position, Barcelona is likely to sack him.
It's just, what about after firing Martino for squid?
Who are they going to hire to coach Barça?
Enrique, the head coach of the youth team, ran away, do you want to bring him back?
Instead of bringing Enrique back, it is better to bring back the meritorious manager Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola has only been away for just two years, and Barcelona fans are already starting to miss the glorious history of the four seasons in charge of Pep Guardiola.
It's just that Guardiola stayed well at Bayern, leading the team to the semifinals and about to reach the final.
Ask him to come back at this time, can he come?
