Chapter 250: Crazy Liverpool, even crazier Manchester City

Although there were not many goals scored by both teams in the first half, it did not affect the spectacle of the game in the slightest.

This game undoubtedly represents the highest level of the Premier League in recent years, and the two teams are extremely fast in switching between attack and defense, making the game particularly exciting.

At halftime, the fans in the stands and sitting at home watching the live broadcast of the game were all excitedly discussing with their friends, offline or online.

"Liverpool is awesome, from the scene of the first half, Liverpool is more like the dominant side!"

"Hehe, Manchester City may not have thought that there would be teams in the Premier League who would dare to play against them!"

"Oxlade-Chamberlain's performance today was very good, compared to the last game, it was like a different person!"

"Hehe, it seems that I have to change Chamberlain's nickname, and I won't call him Zhang Jiuling in the future, but Zhang Zhenyue!"

Liverpool fans were very surprised by the team's performance today, and they lost so badly on the road in the last game that many fans were a little scared.

Although this is their home turf, although they have shouted early on the slogan of revenge against Manchester City.

But no matter how loud the slogan is, if you can't do it, it's still in vain.

Today, however, Liverpool reassured their fears with a brilliant first-half performance and made them optimistic again.

Many people have begun to look forward to Liverpool's victory over Manchester City at home and break the opponent's unbeaten golden body.

The defeat to Manchester City at the beginning, and now to win back and break the opponent's unbeaten golden body by the way, this way of revenge is what they are most looking forward to.

Of course, it would have been perfect if they had scored a few more goals and bloodied Manchester City like they did at the beginning.

However, with the strength of Manchester City, it may be difficult to do this, so the fans only dare to think about it in their hearts.

"Can't be too optimistic, it's only half time now, although Manchester City was caught off guard by us in the first half, but they didn't show defeat, but after falling behind, they quickly equalized, this kind of pressure resistance, worthy of the current Premier League No. 1 team, we Liverpool and them are still far behind."

Seeing that the big guys are very optimistic, someone stands up to cool down everyone and let them lower their expectations, so that there will not be such a big psychological gap when their expectations are disappointed.

However, the second half was not quite what they feared.

Liverpool were crazier than in the first half!

In the 59th minute, Liverpool successfully broke the ball from the feet of De Bruyne through a two-man package at the back.

After getting the ball, Liverpool immediately launched a counterattack, and Oxlade-Chamberlain received the ball and pushed forward.

Fernandinho, who was supposed to come up to intercept, thought he would pass to Liverpool's central player, but he made a mistake in the first minute, resulting in Oxlade-Chamberlain having no defenders around.

Seeing this, Oxlade-Chamberlain decisively drove the ball forward at high speed, and after half time, a through plug sent the ball into the penalty area.

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino squeezed away his defender John Stones and cleverly cleverly cleverly clotted into the far corner when the goalkeeper attacked.

With a loud bang, the ball hit the post again, but this time, the ball bounced off and crashed into the net.

Liverpool took the lead again and the score became 2:1.

Firmino's goal completely ignited the atmosphere at Anfield and fully boosted Liverpool's momentum.

In the 62nd minute, Salah made another successful tackle in front of the goal, and he passed the ball to Mane on the left, who adjusted slightly and fired a third shot through the door of Manchester City.

The score became 3:1.

In just three minutes, Liverpool scored two goals to turn the tide of the game.

Manchester City are in danger of collapsing at the moment, because the opponent has gone completely crazy!

However, to add insult to injury, the successive goals and mistakes have had a huge impact on the mentality of Manchester City's players, especially those in the backline.

In the 68th minute, Ederson made a huge mistake.

After another break in front, Ederson could have calmly controlled the ball and passed it to his team-mate.

But seeing that many players on the other side rushed over with great momentum, Ederson subconsciously chose to clear the siege with big feet.

Then there was an accident when his clearance was kicked on Salah, who saw the goalkeeper standing too far forward and fired a lob through the City door for the fourth time.

The score became 4:1!

The Liverpool fans in the stands have gone completely crazy!

This score is so incredible that even the most optimistic people before the game dare not imagine that Liverpool can beat Manchester City 4:1 at home!

You must know that Manchester City has never lost on many fronts this season, how can such an undefeated division be so easily bloodied by Liverpool?

However, the reality is far more optimistic than they imagined!

Some Liverpool fans even feel that this is almost a replica of the first leg of the battle between the two sides, the difference is that this time it was Manchester City who were beaten passively and had no way to fight back.

At this time, Liverpool's state has fully improved, and Manchester City, on the other hand, has lost consecutive goals to their morale and mentality.

Ederson's mistake just now can be reacted to one or two, if it weren't for the disappointment and unease of his own defender, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to clear the ball just now, after all, Mane is still at least five or six meters away from him, and he doesn't need to be in such a hurry.

Even if you want to clear the ball, you can kick the ball wide and out of bounds, and it is much better to give the opponent a throw-in than to give the opponent a direct shot.

Therefore, Liverpool fans are sure that their home team can continue to score goals and continue to rub salt in Manchester City's wounds!

However, they were a little too optimistic.

This Manchester City team has never experienced any scenes, only three goals behind, and it is not the sky falling.

Besides, their lead in the league is so big, even losing by one goal is not a big deal.

When the young players in the team were a little flustered, captain Lin Quan stood up.

He took advantage of the time to celebrate after his opponent's goal and chatted with Ederson and a couple of defenders to calm their emotions.

Ederson, Walker and others, seeing that Lin Quan, De Bruyne and other old players were there, and they were not panicked, and their hearts were suddenly relieved.

At critical moments, someone stands up to stabilize the morale of the army, which is very crucial for a team.

On the sidelines, Pep Guardiola was also aware of the team's problems.

He thought about it for a moment and made a bold substitution decision.

In the 71st minute, Manchester City made a substitution.

Mbappe came off the bench and bench B, also from Monaco, came off the bench.

Mbappe didn't play too well in this game, he didn't get too many chances on the wing, and Liverpool were very targeted at him, not giving him too many opportunities to catch the ball and sprint.

And Mbappe's defense is not good enough, Manchester City's right side is almost silent in this game, but Sane's side is very loud, and the opponent's side of Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has performed well, has formed a mutual explosion.

Mbappe is a sharp dagger, but there are occasions when a dagger is not suitable.

Pep Guardiola's substitution had a good effect.

Compared with Mbappe, the B seat can be rushed and passed, which is more comprehensive.

Although the attacking attributes are not as prominent as Mbappe, a player like him who can provide a huge help in the midfield is more useful when there are other scorers on the field.

After leading 4-1, Liverpool are hoping to completely kill Manchester City in one go.

But when bench B came on, they gradually realized that something was not quite right.

Manchester City's control in midfield began to gradually strengthen, and the effect of their high pressing was not rising, but decreasing.

Even, the number of times Manchester City threatened their goal began to increase.

"Manchester City is really tenacious, if this is a different team, I'm afraid it will have collapsed!"

In the stands, Liverpool fans saw that the opponent was still playing methodically with such a large score behind, and there was no sign of panic, and even the defenders who were a little slumped before are now performing much better than before.

Manchester City is truly a top team, and the top of the Premier League does look like it is well deserved.

However, Liverpool fans don't think Manchester City can turn things around at Anfield.

It's been 70 minutes, and Liverpool are three goals ahead, still playing at home.

You tell me how Manchester City turned the tables?

The game seemed to be going the same way they had hoped.

As soon as City's attacking threat became more insignificant, Liverpool immediately changed their strategy.

Jurgen Klopp brought on Manchester City veteran James Milner in an attempt to strengthen his grip in the middle.

Milner is a versatile player who can play in many positions and was once used as a panacea at Manchester City.

When he came on, he brought a certain amount of intensity to Liverpool's midfield and made it more difficult for Manchester City to attack.

Ten minutes after Manchester City's substitution, the score on the field remained unchanged.

In the 84th minute, with only a few minutes left before the end of the game, the Liverpool fans in the stands were already ready to cheer for the victory.

However, at this moment, things changed suddenly.

In the 83rd minute, Lin Quan organized an attack, and after bringing forward for a while and finding that there was not a good chance, he passed back to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne crossed to the B seat on the wing, who led some distance along the wing and attracted the two opposing players.

Just as he was about to return the transmission, the peripheral vision of his eyes saw Lin Quan who came over.

Seat B passed the ball to Lin Quan without hesitation, and the Liverpool players around Lin Quan followed closely, and rushed over as soon as they saw Lin Quan get the ball, wanting to restrict him from playing the ball.

However, Lin Quan's handling surprised him very much, in the face of the pass from seat B, Lin Quan did not receive the ball, but directly kicked the ball and passed to the side again.

He acts as nothing more than a wall, bouncing the ball back from seat B and putting it in his hands again after he gets rid of the opponent's interception.

Although seat B has not been transferred to Manchester City for a long time, his ball quotient is very high, although he is not sure whether Lin Quan will see the vacancy in front of him, but after passing the ball, he still chose to run forward as soon as possible.

Lin Quan lived up to his expectations, and the ball had already passed by the time the others had just run to the position.

Bench B received the ball on the flank again, and this time, there was already an open space in front of him.

Seeing the B seat that was about to burst into the penalty area, the Liverpool backline sounded the alarm.

And when they focused on B, B, who took a few steps forward and then knocked the ball across the middle.

Sergio Aguero in the middle wanted to adjust his shot, but was stuck in Matip's position.

But he saw the vacancy next to him, so he gently kicked the ball over.

A blue figure swept past him, picked up the ball in the unguarded position, and swept a shot into the near corner.

The score became 4:2, and the scorer was Manchester City's No. 10 - Lin Quan!

It was a typical Manchester City-style goal, with as many as five City players outflanked in the opposition penalty area at the end, more than the opposition defenders.

They used the way of passing and control, and completely penetrated the Liverpool backline.

This goal made the Liverpool fans at the scene a little uneasy, and many people subconsciously looked up at the time on the big screen.

Eighty-four minutes have passed, and if you count injury time, it will only be 10 minutes at most.

But their lead has also shrunk to two goals, and will they be able to hold on to the final ten minutes?

On the sidelines, Klopp also smelled danger.

He made one substitution after another, replacing Salah, replacing Lallana, replacing Manny, and replacing Clavan.

These two substitutions and adjustments revealed a signal that Liverpool is going to start to stabilize and keep the fruits of victory.

However, when Liverpool tended to be conservative, their attacking threat to Manchester City was greatly reduced, and City had more energy to devote to attacking.

At the last moment of the game, Manchester City had already let go, even the goalkeeper had already run to the center circle, and even when the set-piece was set-piece, he had to rush into the penalty area to participate in the battle.

At this time, it is one to score one, lose the ball or something, and I can't care about it.

Losing two is losing, losing three is also losing, there is no difference.

So, madness is the undertone of Manchester City.

In the 87th minute, Lin Quan dribbled the ball in the front court, along the front of the opponent's penalty area all the way from left to right, taking advantage of the opportunity for many defenders on the other side to be attracted by himself, Lin Quan passed the ball to De Bruyne in front of him.

De Bruyne shifted his feet and crossed the ball from the right to the left.

The unmarked Aguero on the left swept the ball into the back of the net again with a volley.

The score became 4:3!

Liverpool's lead is only one last goal left, and at this point, there are at least 6-7 minutes left before the end of the game!

There's still a lot of time left for Manchester City!

Seeing Aguero's goal, both the Liverpool fans in the stands and Klopp himself in the coach's box were a little panicked.

The cheering at Anfield also seems to have waned a lot, and a large number of Liverpool fans are watching the game with their hearts in their hearts, and they are praying in their hearts while watching.

Be sure to hold on, there is only one last ball left, hold on for a few minutes and win!

Sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen.

If at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool was in full form, how to play, then the last moment was Manchester City's performance moment!

In stoppage time, Lin Quan and De Bruyne hit the wall in succession.

Liverpool's backline was scattered by the two, and after Lin Quan entered the penalty area, he was almost in a state of single-handedly picking up the goalkeeper.

Karius chose to attack in desperation, but Lin Quan, who was crazy, took advantage of the situation and pushed the empty goal to win.

The score became 4:4.

Manchester City chased three goals in a row when they were behind by a big score, and they equalized the score incrediblely! (End of chapter)
