Chapter 308 Manchester City team scores Li Qing

Chapter 308 Manchester City's whole team scored = Li Qing

Liverpool's home game against Manchester City was the penultimate game of the 23rd round of the 2017-2018 Premier League. Since there were no other focus battles in this round, and this game was given the title of the top battle, it attracted a lot of attention.

Manchester City is the club that has spent the most money in the Premier League in recent years. During Guardiola's tenure alone, it spent more than 500 million pounds, and the team's value exceeded 1 billion euros.

The biggest expense Klopp has spent since becoming Liverpool's head coach is to set a record for defenders to buy Van Dijk, but that was the cash earned from selling Coutinho, which is equivalent to exchanging one Coutinho for two strong players, Van Dijk and Chamberlain.

Liverpool did not spend a huge amount of money to introduce other superstar players, but Klopp had a unique vision. The value of the players he bought continued to increase as Liverpool won the league championship. In addition, Li Qing and Arnold, who were promoted from the youth training, were recognized by fans all over the world. The value of the Liverpool team is infinitely close to Manchester City.

Therefore, there is a basis for the media to use 2 billion euros in value before the game.

For example, the latest market value of the popular young player Li Qing according to the German "Transfer Market" has reached 180 million euros, second only to Messi and Ronaldo.

Some media predict that if Li Qing can lead Liverpool to the final in the Champions League, his market value will increase sharply, and he may even catch up with Messi and Ronaldo. If he can perform well in the World Cup in Russia in June this year, his market value will definitely exceed Messi and Ronaldo.

The 2 billion euro market value competition has brought many highlights to the second round of the red and blue battle.

In addition to Li Qing, De Bruyne was also a player who shined at the Etihad Stadium in the first round.

Li Qing scored four goals, and De Bruyne scored one goal and four assists. Their contributions to the team were equal. It was only because Manchester City played one more player that Li Qing led Liverpool to retreat unscathed.

Before visiting Anfield, De Bruyne, who attended the regular pre-match press conference with head coach Guardiola, was full of confidence: "It's a pity that we didn't win at home. I believe I will have a good memory at Anfield tomorrow."

De Bruyne's remarks are undoubtedly supported by Manchester City fans, but are considered whimsical by Liverpool fans.

After 22 rounds of the league, Liverpool's top scorer has contributed 46 goals and 18 assists. In addition to leading the scorer list, he is also at the top of the assist list.

In addition, the media found an amazing efficiency. Manchester United scored only 45 goals in 22 rounds, while Li Qing scored 46 goals in 22 rounds!

Li Qing's goals + assists equal 64 goals, which is exactly the same as the number of goals scored by Manchester City after 22 rounds of the league!

As a result, most media around the world are optimistic that Liverpool will beat Manchester City at home and expand their points lead.

Even the world's top ten bookmakers have continuously lowered the odds of Liverpool's home win as the game approaches. It is easy to see that Liverpool's chances of winning at home are very high.

According to the analysis of French Football magazine, if Manchester City wants to win at Anfield, the first thing to do is not to score goals, but to suppress Li Qing as much as possible, otherwise Manchester City will not be able to win the game away from home.

The first eight games of the 23rd round of the 2017-2018 Premier League have ended one after another, and the most anticipated top battle of this round is getting closer and closer to the long-awaited fans.

At 3 pm on January 14th, local time, that is, 23:00 pm in the capital, there is still one hour before Liverpool and Manchester City start the top battle, and Anfield Stadium is already full.

In addition to the Anfield Road stand, the KOP stand, the main stand and the Centennial Stand (Note: renamed Dag Lish Stand in October 2017) are all full of excited Liverpool fans.

The Manchester City fans arranged in the Anfield Road stand are also very excited in the fanatical atmosphere, but... they feel a little uneasy.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides got the starting list of the other side.

The home team Liverpool's formation has changed from the original 433 formation to the 4231 formation popular in international football, with goalkeeper Karius, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Arnold, double defensive midfielders Wijnaldum and Henderson, three forwards Mane, Li Qing and Salah, and Firmino at the forefront.

The official formation given by the visiting team Manchester City is the usual 433, goalkeeper Ederson, defenders Delph, Stones, Otamendi and Kyle Walker, midfielders Gundogan, De Bruyne and Fernandinho, forwards Sterling, Aguero and Sane.

The biggest change in the lineup of the two teams is Manchester City. Only Aguero is left in the starting forward, and Gundogan replaces David Silva, who has a softer style of play, in the midfield. It is obvious that Guardiola is worried that Manchester City's midfield can't withstand Li Qing's forward push.

Looking at each other's starting lineups, Klopp and Guardiola frowned, not knowing how to make fine adjustments.

It was not until more than half an hour later, when the players finished warming up and returned to the locker room, that they made a decision.

Ten minutes before the game started, the Premier League staff knocked on the doors of the home and away teams, informing them that they could go to the player tunnel to wait for the game to start.

The on-site director immediately switched to the player tunnel, and the main players of both sides who came to the player tunnel stopped, while the substitutes went straight into the court and sat on the benches of their respective teams.

Li Qing, who has scored 46 goals in the Premier League this season, has undoubtedly become the focus of fans around the world. Juli TV cut into the game signal, and Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the Anfield commentary box, said loudly: "Li Qing looks in very good condition! The red-blue battle at the Etihad Stadium in the first round still seems like it happened yesterday, with a heart-stirring 4:4. I wonder if the amazing goal efficiency can be continued in the second round that is about to begin..."

"aoaoaooaooaoooooo——"

A few minutes later, the players from both sides each led a small ball boy and followed the referee team into the stadium, and a huge shout suddenly erupted over the Anfield stadium.

Li Qing glanced at the audience and felt his blood surge. He naturally clenched his fists. Because the force was a bit strong, the caddy girl who was lightly clenched cried out in pain.

Li Qing quickly let go, rubbed the little girl's head, bent down and comforted her: "Don't cry, I will give you the jersey after the game."

"Really?" The little girl who was acting as a caddy lit up.

"real!"

"beep"

Following a long whistle from the referee Michael Oliver, China Channel 5 commentator He Wei gave his iconic opening remarks.

"Chinese TV, Tianchao TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of Liverpool vs. Manchester City in the 23rd round of the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season. The person wearing the red jersey and red shorts is the home team Liverpool. They are from the left side of the broadcast screen. Attacking to the right, the visiting team Manchester City wearing a sky blue jersey and white shorts..."

Firmino just kicked the football to Salah, and the Manchester City players pounced on Salah. The latter handed the ball to Li Qing without stopping, and he decided how to attack.

"aoaoaooaoooooo——"

At the same time, a huge roar like a tsunami rang out over the Anfield stadium.
