Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After equalizing the score, Wenger pondered for a moment and made a gesture of retrieving. Although he is a coach who prioritizes offense, he knows very well that his team no longer has the physical strength to continue to attack the opponent. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to ensure a draw. As a result, the fans of Highbury found that their team gradually fell into a passive position in the following time. Manchester City's group of animals still have good physical strength, especially the new Kaka, who got a lot of ball rights and made Vieira, who was responsible for marking him, suffer. His physical advantage was enough to make it difficult for Vieira to keep up with him, so Vieira also received a yellow card on him. However, although Manchester City had the upper hand in the last ten minutes, the final score of both sides did not change again. Manchester City tied Arsenal 1-1 away from home!

Although the result of this game was not particularly upset, the process of the game was enough to surprise many experts.

Manchester City actually had the upper hand in the attack against Arsenal, and even formed a siege on Arsenal in the last ten minutes!

When Lineker summed up the game, he couldn't help but say: "This Manchester City has too much potential. There are not many teams that can attack Arsenal at Highbury and have a certain advantage. Their growth in the past half season is very terrible. In time, they will definitely be a Premier League champion-level team!"

Alan Hansen also agreed: "Both teams have players who were withdrawn from the African Cup, and Manchester City should be the more affected side. But they played more actively than Arsenal. They deserve respect."

Yang Luo in front of the TV calmed down and accepted the result.

Although the result was a little regrettable, it was completely acceptable.

This is Arsenal, who has never lost in the season!

What do you want?

Manchester United finally won this round of games, and took the opportunity to narrow the points gap to two points.

In the next round of games, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all won, continuing to maintain their leading advantage in the Champions League group.

The next game is another highlight for Manchester City.

They will challenge Liverpool away.

Although the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester City has widened to thirteen points, they still cannot relax in this kind of game.

But unexpectedly, Van Gaal made a rotation in this game.

Yang Luo in front of the TV couldn't help squinting his eyes, but he laughed a moment later.

This Dutchman has an idea!

Because three days after this game, it will be the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The opponent is Manchester United!

It seems that he wants to fight Manchester United to the death!

In this game, Manchester City fielded a lineup of Van der Sar, Dunne, Uifalusi, Chiellini, Jensen, Makelele, Barton, Kaka, Ronaldo, Robben and Tony.

Essien and Eto'o returned to the team two days ago, but their physical condition is still not suitable for the game.

Liverpool still fielded a 442 formation.

The last time the two teams met, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home.

So in this game, Liverpool took the initiative to attack from the beginning with the idea of ​​revenge.

However, Van Gaal's tactics are very clear, that is, let Kaka, Ronaldo and Robben, the three people cruising between the two lines, use their super personal abilities to tear apart the opponent's defense.

In the 15th minute, Kaka got the ball and used his speed to break through Hamann's defense and pass the ball to the side.

Ronaldo inserted at high speed, used his speed to shake Riise away, and then kicked the ball to the middle.

Teacher Tony in the penalty area jumped high, grabbed the header under Hyypiä's defense, and headed for the goal!

Dudek had no way to deal with this, and Manchester City led 1-0.

In the 27th minute, Robben got the ball on the left, dribbled past Finnan, and continued to rush into the penalty area.

Carragher came to make up for the defense, but Robben chose to pass the ball directly before he rushed over. Kaka rushed up and shook, and Barton, who was inserted at high speed behind, pushed the ball. Dudek barely made a save, but Teacher Tony came up to make up for the shot, and the ball went into the net!

2-0!

Manchester City led Liverpool 2-0 away!

Liverpool, who fell behind by two goals, started a crazy counterattack, but the effect was not very significant.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-2, and Liverpool, who played at home, fell behind.

Liverpool's current lineup can be said to be

A mid-to-upper-level team, if you remove Gerrard and Owen, it will be a mid-to-lower-level team.

So against Liverpool, it is to pinch Gerrard in the midfield and pinch Owen in the frontcourt.

And Manchester City's team configuration is enough to do this.

Gerrard was very uncomfortable being marked by Makelele in this game, so he couldn't provide more support to the frontcourt.

Houllier was also helpless. He had so many cards in his hand and couldn't play them.

So after the start of the second half, Liverpool still failed to create too many opportunities.

In the 60th minute, Manchester City replaced both Ronaldo and Robben with Wright Phillips and Ronaldinho.

Then Liverpool's defense became even more uncomfortable.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. Facing Carragher who came to defend, he moved horizontally and pretended to pass the ball to Wright Phillips who was inserting at high speed on the right, but his ankle suddenly turned and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Teacher Tony understood and got the ball before Hyypiä. He prepared to shoot, then dribbled past Hyypiä's defense.

Then he shot with his right foot and the ball went into the net!

Three to zero!

And this goal was almost the same as the one Eto'o scored in the previous game when he dribbled past Hyypiä!

Teacher Tony also completed his first hat trick in Manchester City with this goal!

He was very excited after scoring the goal. This hat trick was really meaningful!

His teammates all applauded and congratulated him, but only Eto'o on the bench had a dark face throughout the whole process.

The better Teacher Tony performed, the greater the threat to him!

Liverpool, which was three goals behind, began to launch a fierce counterattack.

Finally, they scored a goal in the 85th minute of the game by Kewell in the penalty area, but this had no effect on the result.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-1 away from home, and won another crucial victory in the fight for the Champions League seat!

After this game, Manchester City led Liverpool by 16 points, and it can be said that they have completely left the biggest rival in the fight for the top four behind!

Yang Luo turned off the TV and stretched comfortably.

He suddenly thought of a question.

It seems difficult for Liverpool to enter the Champions League now.

And this also means that there will no longer be that famous scene in Istanbul next year.

It turns out that the biggest winner of this game is not himself, but Milan!
