Chapter 629 The Dust Falls
Chapter 629 The Dust Falls
(Congratulations to Ronaldo and Portugal)
At this moment, this sentence could not be more appropriate to describe Manchester City. At the same time, this once again gave Liverpool hope. After all, compared to Aguero, the substitute Minaer is obviously inferior.
But soon, Liverpool's hope turned into despair. Although Liverpool once created a miracle that shocked the world, at this moment, the miracle did not happen to Liverpool.
No.703 minutes, Li Feng broke into Liverpool's hinterland with the ball and was double-teamed by Downing and Gerrard. Yaya Toure took advantage of the emptiness in Liverpool's center and inserted from behind. Li Feng immediately passed the ball and Yaya Toure rushed into the penalty area.
Agger rushed towards Yaya Toure, the Manchester City midfielder controlled the ball, kicked his right foot, and tried to pass the Liverpool defender, but the situation was similar to that of De Jong's second yellow card, only this time the target became Liverpool, and it was not a yellow card, but a penalty kick.
This time, the Etihad Stadium cheered, and the referee Jones, who had been booed by Manchester City fans before, instantly became the fans' favorite. Manchester City fans knew very well that as long as Manchester City scored this penalty, there would be no suspense in this game.
Manchester City can take a lot of penalty kicks, Dzeko, Aguero, Balotelli, Silva, and even Minaer who just came off the bench. I have to say that it is a miracle that a core like Li Feng does not take penalty kicks.
Therefore, when they saw this penalty kick, everyone in Manchester City didn't think about letting Li Feng come. They had been teammates with Li Feng for half a year. They knew early on that Li Feng never touched penalty kicks or corner kicks.
In the end, the soldiers of Manchester City gave this opportunity to Dzeko. After all, this guy hasn't scored a goal for a long time. As time goes by, Dzeko's pressure will increase.
I have to say that Manchester City is indeed at its best moment now. There are many Manchester City stars, but none of them have won any honors, so Manchester City at this moment can be said to be united.
Since his teammates wanted to, Dzeko was not polite. This time, he did not disappoint his teammates. Although Reina was in the right direction, he still failed to prevent Manchester City from rewriting the score.
"The game completely lost its suspense. Manchester City led 3:0. Dzeko finally relied on this penalty kick to break the scoring shortage. I hope this goal can bring a little luck to Manchester City's strikers. After all, there are not many options for Manchester City's strikers now."
Although everyone talked about the suspense of losing the game, Liverpool did not initiate it. Dalglish was still standing on the sidelines, his hands green, motionless. Even if the assistant coach tried to dissuade the stubborn Liverpool king, he could not let the stubborn Liverpool king return.
On the court, most of the Liverpool players have given up, but as the soul of the Red Army, as the captain of Liverpool, Gerrard did not give up.
However, Gerrard is not the kind of player who can turn things around on his own. Indeed, Gerrard is indeed a world-class star. He is still one of the best midfielders in world football, but he and Li Feng are two completely different types of players.
Gerrard is a team player, and fighting alone is not what Gerrard is good at. He needs the cooperation of his teammates. He can play a savior, but he is not alone.
Without the support of his teammates, it would be useless for Gerrard to try his best, not to mention that he received special care from Yaya Toure and Li Feng.
At this moment, Gerrard's performance is admirable, but it is also regrettable, even pitiful. He is 31 years old, how many years can he have in his career, and he has been loyal to Liverpool all his life, but he has never been able to get the most desired trophy.
On the sidelines, watching Dalglish also set his sights on Gerrard, looking at Gerrard who was still unwilling to give up, Dalglish's face flashed a complicated look, Dalglish knew very well Gerrard's love for Liverpool, and it was this deep love that made Gerrard accept his arrangement.
Time passed unknowingly. After leading by three goals, Manchester City did not need to take any more risks and began to defend with all their strength. In the end, Manchester City retained the three-goal lead.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gerrard stopped his footsteps, but when he was about to enter the player tunnel, Li Feng stopped him.
"Mr. Gerrard, can you date me for a jersey?" Li Feng asked, wiping the rain off his face
"Of course~~~" Speaking of Gerrard, he took off his jersey first, "I wish you a long way" and hugged Li Feng.
Although Manchester City won, Van Basten still complained about his disciples after the game, and the referee's penalty in this game was indeed full of controversy, which Dalglish also deeply agreed with.
Compared with Van Basten's stability in Manchester City, the King of Liverpool's life in Liverpool is not very easy at the moment, especially after losing this game, the media don't care about Dalglish.
So after the game, Dalglish was criticized by many media. For this situation, other teams naturally liked it. The opponent's misfortune is their own luck.
What made Manchester City most happy was the match between Manchester United and Newcastle United a day later. At St. James' Park, Newcastle United also defeated Manchester United 3:0, helping Manchester City widen the 5-point difference to 8 points.
In the first game of the second half of the season, the Manchester City duo once again staged a two-pronged battle, not even Manchester United. Arsenal also capsized away. The Gunners lost 1:2 to Fulham in the same city.
Chelsea, who changed coaches, finally broke the embarrassment of five rounds, beating Wolves 2:1 away, and won the first victory in nearly six rounds. Di Matteo made a good start for his coaching journey.
The Premier League has finally ushered in a break before the No.20 round of matches will be two weeks away. Of course, this is not an international match day, nor is it a winter break. The Premier League has no winter break, and there are two cup games in the middle of the league.
And during this period, Li Feng still needs to go to Zurich, Switzerland. The International Football Ballon d'Or will be held on the evening of January 1th. Although he just went to play soy sauce, Li Feng still chose to attend.
Li Feng originally wanted to refuse on the grounds of the competition. Anyway, it was soy sauce, as long as the main Messi arrived, but under the persuasion of Van Basten and Lauren, Li Feng finally chose to attend.
You know, Ronaldo has made it clear that he will not attend this Golden Globe Awards. If Li Feng also refuses, then you will let FIFA's face play that way.
Compared with Messi and Ronaldo, Li Feng, who is Asian, is at a natural disadvantage. There is no way, in the field of football, Asia cannot compare with Europe and South America.
If Li Feng wants to win the golden ball, it is not only about performing well on the court, he also needs to be recognized by FIFA.
