Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The next game was a 3-0 win for Manchester City against Leeds United, who were already in the relegation zone.

This young guard team only won four games with almost half of the schedule, and it is very likely to be relegated this year.

In fact, after the end of this season, Leeds United was officially relegated, and the team has disappeared from the top league for nearly 20 years.

Yang Luo couldn't help but sigh. He and Deportivo La Coruna were both teams that left a very deep impression on him back then, but unfortunately they are now sinking.

After playing this game, Fiona returned to the United States to spend Christmas with the Lehman family.

Although she didn't like it, there was nothing she could do.

After all, her last name is still Lehman.

Manchester City's schedule is quite tight. On December 26, Manchester City will challenge Birmingham away.

This schedule makes the players have trouble even on Christmas.

Since they will face Liverpool at home three days later, Van Gaal rotated the lineup a lot in this game.

The price of rotating the lineup is that Manchester City did not play well in this away game, and was tied by Birmingham 1:1 in the end.

This game is very unfortunate, the scene and the number of shots are dominant, but the luck is a little lacking.

However, Manchester City did not have time to do too much self-criticism, because the next game is another six-point battle.

Yang Luo remembered that Liverpool finally won the Champions League this season, because they will be one of the protagonists of Istanbul Night next season.

Therefore, Liverpool is one of Manchester City's main competitors for the Champions League.

In this game, Robben was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, so Kaka appeared in the starting lineup.

Yes, this old guy is still a big card eater. Sometimes he is not calm on the court and will get the yellow gem war god card.

Liverpool's starting lineup is goalkeeper Dudek, defender Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, midfielder Murphy, Gerrard, Hamann, Kewell, forward Owen, Heskey.

At a glance, it is full of youthful memories.

Noodle dance god Dudek, own goal god Carragher, super heavy artillery Riise, midfielder Jie, wind chasing teenager Owen and Heskey who is as famous as Messi.

This Liverpool team has no top players except Gerrard and Owen, which also leads to their only position in the upper middle of the league.

And now their head coach Houllier is suffering from heart disease, so their performance is quite turbulent.

However, the entire Red Army is also a very tenacious team, and anyone who kicks it is a hard bone to chew.

Yang Luo came to the game early and watched the game with the fans.

Now he has developed a habit. As long as it is a home league game, he will almost never fall behind.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Van Gaal has more experience with the team in the 442 formation. He uses Ronaldinho and others to make a fuss between the two lines of the opponent, making them very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, in the first 20 minutes of the game, Manchester City has always occupied a firm advantage.

After several months of running-in, they have a high degree of tacit understanding with each other, and the strength of the young people has also been greatly improved, so there is no need to worry about the offense.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City finally seized the opportunity.

After Ronaldinho cut in from the left, he attracted Carragher's defense, and then directly found Eto'o in the penalty area with a diagonal pass!

The African cheetah leaned on Hyypia to make a fake shot, and then took advantage of the situation and completely shook Hyypia!

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

He connected the shot with his right foot very quickly, and Dudek had no time to make a save, and the ball flew into the goal along the grass!

One to zero, Manchester City took the lead at home!

The fans at the scene cheered, this goal opened the door to victory for them!

Manchester City played more calmly after the goal. With Ronaldinho and Kaka, two masters with different styles and very sharp breakthroughs, Liverpool's midfield and backcourt were suppressed badly.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there is a dark and strong and a dark and thin man standing in the Manchester City midfield. These two people make it difficult for Liverpool to move the ball to the frontcourt.

In the 31st minute, Manchester City got another chance. After Essien intercepted Hamann's pass, he passed it directly to Kaka

.

Kaka received the ball and changed direction. With just two big steps, he got rid of Gerrard's entanglement!

Although Gerrard is a hexagonal warrior, his speed is far from comparable to Kaka.

Once the two long legs of the Brazilian, who is over 1.85 meters tall, start to move, it is simply a sense of déjà vu of a white horse and a silver spear.

With this dribbling posture and speed, plus his appearance, it would be strange if he did not attract the attention of female fans.

Even Yang Luo in the stands felt that this visual impact was worth an extra 10,000 pounds in salary.

It only took Kaka two or three seconds to kill directly to the 30-meter area!

Eto'o and Ronaldo also used their running positions very cleverly to take other defensive players away. At this time, only Hyypia was left in front of Kaka!

Hyypiä couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was a veteran and didn't know what to do when facing this unreasonable Brazilian boy who rushed over. He could only wait for Kaka to make the next move.

Kaka suddenly made a move to dribble to the right. The Finnish defender stared and subconsciously moved to the left.

But then Kaka suddenly accelerated and changed direction, and the whole person broke through to the right!

Hyypiä's heart tightened, and he quickly moved to the right.

But Kaka was too fast!

I didn't expect that he could accelerate again after such a high-speed movement just now!

Hyypiä reached out desperately, but he didn't reach his jersey at all!

Instead, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground!

Kaka passed by him like the wind, and took another step into the penalty area with the ball. Facing the attacking Dudek, he shot directly!

The football stuck to the grass and went straight to the far corner of the goal!

Dudek ran down quickly, but couldn't reach the ball!

The football hit the net, creating a wave of waves.

2-0!

Lineker in the studio exclaimed: "This goal is so beautiful!"

Alan Hansen also added: "And this ball is very familiar!"

They looked at each other and thought of a scene at the same time.

It was the World Cup five years ago, and an 18-year-old British boy suddenly appeared.

He received a long pass from Beckham, dribbled past Ayala's defense, and scored his famous goal.

Yes, that boy was Michael Owen on the other side of the court!

Owen looked at the celebrating Brazilian, and his eyes were full of his own shadow when he was 18 years old!
