Football: The strongest post-00s

After nine games in the 29th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, Chelsea finished first in the league with 23 wins, two draws, four points and 71 points.

Liverpool, two rounds less, ranked second in the league with 18 wins, 6 draws, 3 defeats and 60 points, Tottenham Hotspur ranked third with 17 wins, 8 draws, 3 defeats and 59 points, and Manchester City, who had two rounds less, ranked fourth with 17 wins, 5 draws, 5 defeats and 56 points.

In terms of points, there is no room for error for Liverpool and Manchester City, especially for Liverpool, who are already a full eleven points behind Chelsea after two rounds of playoff, and if they lose points in the play-off games and away to Manchester City, the possibility of Chelsea winning the league this season will be greatly increased.

At that time, Liverpool will only have the FA Cup title left to compete for.

But what is the FA Cup title compared to a league title that has not been won since the Premier League’s inception?

If they could, Liverpool would like to win the league.

Of course, there is no room for error for Manchester City, who finished fourth in the league and have already equalised points by Arsenal in the first round, and if they lose at home to Liverpool, their Champions League place next season will be in the balance…

The dispute between Manchester’s local pro-Manchester City media and Liverpool’s local media on the Internet is a replica of last week’s Manchester United home game against Liverpool, and then fans joined in.

Two players from Raheem Sterling and Milner, who swapped clubs, became the media spotlight.

Since Manchester City and Liverpool have no deep hatred, the two teams did not join the war of words.

On the contrary, the head coaches of the two teams also praised each other and put top hats on each other, and those who did not know the situation thought that the two were long-lost brothers.

Many words cannot even be listened to by journalists, they are too fake!

Li Qing, as Liverpool’s best player recently, naturally became the focus player of this focus battle, and the overwhelming reports made the party Li Qing a little fluttering.

It is a report from ** China, and it has reached the point of madness.

In addition to the ** domestic Manchester City fans can’t watch it, other fans are very happy to watch, and they are all looking forward to the arrival of this game.

Li Qing has already played against Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United for Liverpool, contributing a total of 8 goals and 2 assists, equivalent to an average of 2 goals and 0.5 assists per game against the four giants.

The average contribution of 2.5 goals per game has made many ** fans yearn for it.

Will Li Qing play well again at the Etihad Stadium?

Although Guardiola is fighting with Klopp’s official business, his tactics are to attach great importance to Li Qing, averaging 2.5 goals per game is equivalent to making Liverpool invincible, how to limit Li Qing, is the most important thing for Guardiola’s coaching team.

However, after several days of research, Guardiola and his assistants shook their heads frequently, and they realized that the team’s defense was weak, and the home defense was equivalent to self-defeating.

Pep Guardiola’s team has always held high the offensive banner, how can a sixteen-year-old change his tactical intention?

With a clear thought, Guardiola’s coaching team has skyrocketed.

Manchester City have the planet’s playmaking ability in the top three David Xi and assist the very characteristic De Bruyne, plus top scorer Sergio Aguero, is there a problem at home Liverpool?

At 4pm local time on March 19, Liverpool arrived at the Etihad Stadium in eastern Manchester by bus.

Compared to Old Trafford, the stadium, built in 2000, has a more stylish design.

Manchester City fans and Liverpool fans are only in competition, and there is no historical feud between Liverpool and Manchester United, and home fans rarely booed Liverpool players on buses.

Through the car window, Li Qing saw Manchester City fans holding up signs on the outside of the Etihad Stadium saying that Liverpool beat Manchester United.

“Manchester City fans are really interesting.”

Arnold laughed: “We don’t have a grudge with Manchester City, so we’re friendly, but… Waiting for the game to start will definitely be treated differently… Who puts us higher than Manchester City? ”

“In any case, the only one who wins is Liverpool!”

Li Qing withdrew his gaze, his fists naturally clenched, and his fighting spirit was high.

Arnold looked at Li Qing enviously, and his eyes lit up when he suddenly thought of something: “Li, you can score as many goals as you can.” ”

“Why?”

Arnold said with a smile: “Seal the win early, maybe I will have a chance to come off the bench.” ”

Li Qing rolled his eyes: “Virtue.” ”

……

The Etihad Stadium is only a decade old, the design is in line with modern standards, the stadium has been expanded in recent years by UAE boss Mansour, and the away team’s dressing room has been upgraded, adding to the experience of Liverpool players.

The 55,000-strong Etihad Stadium was packed an hour before the start of the match, with Manchester City fans in sky-blue shirts and Liverpool fans in red shirts.

As this is Manchester City’s home stadium, there are far more Manchester City fans wearing sky-blue shirts than Liverpool fans.

Meanwhile, the coaches of both sides got each other’s starting list, Guardiola frowned, and Klopp had a smile on his face.

Manchester City now have a good line-up in addition to the midfield, and the midfield is somewhat potholed.

In particular, the two full-backs were 32-year-old Chrissy who started at left-back, Fernandinho who played at the back and Yaya Toure who played at the back of 34.

Centre-back Otamendi is often rash and Stones is too young, a defensive system that Klopp sees as difficult to contain the attacking quartet of Mane, Roberto Firmino, Li Qing and Philippe.

Seeing Manchester City’s attacking system, Klopp raised his eyebrows slightly, and Manchester City’s defensive players were pitted, and his side was no better.

In addition to Matip’s relative reliability, Clavan and Klein have seen a serious decline in form this season, and if Arnold and Gomez were not too young, he would have wanted to use young players.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the start of the game.

The players from both sides walked to the players’ tunnel one after another, the substitutes went straight to the pitch and went to their respective benches, while the home team players stayed in the players’ tunnel and waited to enter.

The two teams have many national team teammates, each greeting each other, Li Qing has not been selected for any national team, he looks a little bored, so he turns his head and greets the caddy: “Hey ~ little brother, how old are you?” ”

The caddy rolled his eyes and said expressionlessly, “13 years old.” ”

“So small?”

Li Qing was surprised.

The caddy said speechlessly: “You are only 16 years old, but you are only three years older than me.” ”

“……”

Li Qing then remembered that he seemed to be this age, laughed, and the palm placed on the top of the other party’s head also moved.
