Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The game was a big success, but the opponent was still alive.

Yang Luo certainly knew how risky it was to send the young Kompany to such a game.

But he was impressed by his recent performance in training.

Moreover, this young man has a champion's heart!

So he believed that Kompany could handle it.

As for the other young man, Fabregas...

Is there any need to say this?

In the original timeline, he is now carrying the banner of Arsenal.

After the game started, Liverpool really showed a very strong desire to win, and they attacked Manchester City's goal through two flanks.

Benítez made a thorough analysis before the game and believed that Manchester City's main attack was launched through the wing, so he arranged his own wing in a targeted manner, bringing the distance between the two full-backs and the wing forward closer and compressing the space of Manchester City's wing players.

At the same time, he also asked the team to focus on the wing, hoping to suppress the opponent's wing through the attack.

With a two-pronged approach, Liverpool really had a certain advantage in the first 20 minutes.

They frequently made crosses through the wing, allowing the ball to frequently appear in Manchester City's penalty area.

But what surprised Manchester City fans was that the team's young central defender Vincent Kompany performed quite stably!

He used his height advantage to win almost every header!

Tuchel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Kompany's performance.

He unconsciously looked at Yang Luo, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and thought that this boss was really amazing.

Although he didn't have anything special in the construction of the tactical system, he was really good at on-the-spot adjustments and selecting people.

If he can accumulate a few more years of experience, maybe he can become a famous coach!

As if sensing his gaze, Yang Luo suddenly smiled at him.

That expression seemed to say: "Come on, praise me!"

Tuchel was speechless. This boss is good in every way, but he is so arrogant...

At this moment, Liverpool once again brought the war to the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area.

Luis Garcia dribbled the ball on the right, and Jensen had already stuck to him, making it difficult for him to kick the ball comfortably.

The Spanish winger made several fake moves in succession, but Jensen did not eat his moves and did not give him space to cross.

In desperation, Luis Garcia could only pass the ball to Gerrard who was responding.

Gerrard did not hesitate and directly kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle and crossed it!

He firmly believed that as long as he passed it enough, there would be a chance!

But this time, his cross still did not bypass Kompany's defense!

He jumped high and headed the ball out before Morientes!

And the ball fell right at Fabregas' feet!

There was no defensive player in front of him at this time, and he immediately started to run with the ball!

While dribbling the ball, he scanned the front court with his eyes, and suddenly he chose to kick a long pass!

Torres on the front line also started at the same time, and instantly opened the distance with Hyypiä with speed!

The football also landed less than two meters in front of him. He stretched out his long legs, stopped the ball easily, and drove the ball towards Liverpool's penalty area!

At this time, only Dudek was left in front of him!

Dudek had no choice but to attack, but Torres pushed the ball directly into the far corner!

The football flew past Dudek's hand and gently hit the goal!

One to zero!

In the case of not having an advantage on the field, Manchester City tore through Liverpool's defense with just a long pass!

Although Torres scored the goal, Fabregas's accurate pass was enough to amaze everyone.

Yang Luo jumped up from the bench and celebrated with his fists excitedly.

This is the person he picked to start!

One has performed steadily so far, and the other directly sent a wonderful assist!

Tuchel looked at him like a monster. This... is a good judge of people!

Lineker in the studio couldn't help but admire: "Let's take a look at this goal! Kompany, who is about to turn 19, cleared the ball, Fabregas, who is less than 18 years old, made a long pass, and Torres, who just turned 21, made the final shot. The average age of the three people who touched the ball is less than 20 years old!"

Alan Hansen also sighed on the side: "Ten years ago, I said that you can't rely on a group of children to win the championship, but now I admit that I was wrong. Not only Manchester United's Class of 92, but also the children of Manchester City now have the ability to defeat any strong team!"

Lineker looked carefully

The replay of this goal: "Look at Fabregas's long pass, the timing and strength are just right, this is like a future midfield commander!"

Alan Hansen said: "I remember that Manchester City spent 10 million pounds to buy him, and it attracted a lot of doubts at the time. But now it seems that this long pass is definitely worth 10 million!"

Yang Luo on the field was calling the players to get into position quickly.

His requirement for them was to score another goal as soon as possible, which could lay a good foundation for the rotation in the second half.

Liverpool obviously couldn't accept the situation of falling behind after the restart. They pressed hard in the next game and tried to tie the score before the end of the first half.

At the same time, they also asked Gerrard to harass Fabregas more, so that he couldn't pass this kind of long pass comfortably.

Although this prevented Manchester City from launching a long pass attack directly in the backcourt, they had other ways to attack.

In the 39th minute, Kaka retreated to the midfield and started running with the ball. Hamann couldn't stop him at all!

In just a few seconds, he reached the front of the penalty area.

Torres cooperated well and took Hyypia away, leaving Carragher to Kaka!

Seeing that his opponent was standing on the penalty area line and dared not move forward, Kaka suddenly chose to swing his legs, and it seemed that he was going to shoot directly from a distance!

Carragher was fooled and stepped forward to block!

But Kaka was just a fake move. He dribbled the ball and easily passed Carragher!

He took another step and had already entered the penalty area!

At this time, only Dudek was left in front of him. He did not hesitate and kicked the ball directly!

But this time Dudek made a magical save and saved the ball from the bottom line!

Kaka, who missed this opportunity, showed a regretful expression.

If this ball went in, it would be another goal that could compete for the best goal of this round!

But Liverpool's crisis has not been resolved yet, because Manchester City still has a corner kick opportunity.

Ronaldinho took the corner kick. He looked at the situation in the penalty area, ran up, and swung his legs!

The football was sent to the center of the penalty area with a strong arc.

In the midst of the chaos, a sky-blue figure leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!

The ball was headed with great force and speed.

Dudek had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net!

2-0, Manchester City expanded their lead!

And the scorer was Vincent Kompany!
