Chapter 370 Slap
"Okay guys, I believe everyone is aware of the current team situation. Damn Manchester United has surpassed us, and behind us there is Arsenal who never gave up trying to surpass us. If you still want to defend the title, from now on, you need to take every game seriously."

In the Liverpool locker room, after Old Bay and George returned from the pre-match press conference, Old Bay immediately summoned the entire Liverpool team and said seriously to them.

"Manchester City's goalkeeper James is a big problem. This guy reacts quickly and has great goalkeeping skills. He is already the second goalkeeper of the England national team. But I think James' ability has surpassed Arsenal's Seaman, so James is a big problem for all your offensive players."

"Don't worry, coach, there is no goalkeeper in this world who can guarantee you not to concede a goal, not even Yashin from the Soviet Union." George said lightly, there is no way, since he promised that Lao Bei will definitely score in this game, let alone Manchester City's goalkeeper is James.

"Very good, since you have this confidence, then I am relieved." Seeing that after George finished speaking, the other players, especially the offensive players, told themselves with very firm eyes that they would not be afraid of James, Lao Bei nodded in satisfaction.

There is no way, fans and clubs have higher and higher requirements for the team, but they have completely given up the glory of a team. How long does it take to build it before it can get results.

In the end, Lao Bei was also forced by the fans and the club's top management, so he was so cautious. Otherwise, no matter how good James is, he would not make Lao Bei so worried. At least so far, with the strength of Manchester City's defense, James is not qualified to make Lao Bei worry.

"There is nothing special about the opponent's central defender. They are just strong and tall. This kind of Jiahui is easy to deal with. We can just attack on the ground. However, Manchester City's two full-backs are a bit troublesome. Mills and Sun are both players with relatively strong assist ability. They are also good at defending, fast and energetic. While attacking, you should pay attention to these two guys, Steven and Harvey. The task of the two of you is very simple, that is to prevent Mills and Sun from flying."

"Don't worry, boss, we know what to do." Gerald nodded coolly and replied with a serious face.For the two defeats against Chelsea, and being made fun of by George, a shameless good buddy, Gerrard had already held his breath at this time.

Alonso on the side also nodded to show that he knew what to do.It has to be said that after continuous competition and cooperation, the cooperation between Alonso and Gerrard has become more and more tacit. At this time, Alonso has completely replaced the main position of the German Hamann.

"Manchester City's midfielder, I don't bother to say, there is nothing to say, the strength is not very good, but Manchester City's striker is a huge trouble for us."

"Manchester City's double forwards, one is a genius from our Liverpool youth training camp. I believe everyone is familiar with this person, even some old players are more familiar than me. That's right, this guy is Fowler. For Fowler, my request is very simple. We must focus on death. Although Fowler's speed is no longer, awareness and finishing touches are absolutely fatal."

"Don't worry, boss, except for Mario, Fowler is very familiar to us, we will not let Fowler get the ball easily." Hyypia said with eyes.At the same time, Hyypia couldn't help but recall the comrades who fought side by side in Liverpool.

Hearing that Hypia said that he tried not to let Fowler take the ball instead of letting Fowler shoot, Lao Bei was very satisfied with Hypia's serious and responsible attitude.Fowler is not allowed to shoot, but when Fowler actually shoots, the threat is too great. After all, Fowler's shooting skills are absolutely world-class, and as long as Fowler takes a shot, there will be a chance to score.

It is impossible for Hyypia and others and Dudek, who has returned from injury, to stop Fowler's shot every time. The best way is to prevent Fowler from killing Fowler and minimize the opportunity and time for Fowler to take the ball as much as possible.

"The other guy is the Frenchman Anelka. This guy has a very lonely personality and a very greedy brother. According to the temper of the French, I believe that Anelka's personnel in the Manchester City team will not do much. If this is the case, Anelka's threat is much smaller. But don't underestimate this guy. As a talented striker recognized by France, Anelka's threat is definitely not small. His strong body, sharp speed and superb shooting skills are absolutely deadly. For this Frenchman, I have very high requirements. Simple, stare at him, isolate him and of course disappear on the pitch."

Lao Bei enthusiastically arranged the final tactical arrangements before the game, and in the Manchester City dressing room not far from Liverpool, Manchester City's head coach Hughes was also arranging the final tactical arrangements.

Fowler!Standing in the player tunnel, George looked at Fowler, the captain of the Manchester City team, and couldn't help but look carefully at Liverpool's former super talented striker.The sensitive eyes have disappeared, and the passage of time has made Fowler look very vicissitudes, and he no longer has the youth and vigor of his time in Liverpool.

However, from Fowler's squinted eyes, when he exudes sharp eyes from time to time, people will remember that although Fowler is no longer young, as he becomes more and more experienced, Fowler's threat at this time is even greater than when he was young.Because Fowler at this time has extremely rich game experience, Fowler will no longer give people the radiant feeling he did when he was young.At this time, Fowler has hidden all his light, but when the light comes out, it is definitely a fatal blow.

"Hi~ George, hello." Seeing someone looking at him, Fowler turned his head and looked at George who was looking at him. Fowler was no stranger to George, a junior, or because everyone came from the Liverpool youth training camp. Fowler felt good about George and said with a smile.

"Uh~ Hello Robbie, nice to meet you. You must know that when we were in the Liverpool youth team, Coach Houllier often mentioned you in front of us and asked me and Michael to target you. You know, you are my idol." Seeing Fowler greet himself, George responded in a panic.

"Hehe, is that so, Coach Houllier still remembers me?" Fowler smiled. Fowler has no doubts about his ability to become George's idol. After all, he is absolutely qualified to become George's idol with his super achievements and statistics in Liverpool, although George has now become the top striker in England and even the world.

However, when Fowler heard George talking about Liverpool youth team coach Houllier, he couldn't help but fell into memories.Regardless of the fact that Houllier is only in the Liverpool youth team at this time, and continues to send talents to the Liverpool first team, but for players like Fowler who grew up in Houllier's hands, Houllier's status in his mind is far higher than that of the head coach of the first team.

You must know that the Liverpool youth team has not been completely commercialized. Under the leadership of the serious and kind Houllier, the young players continue to enjoy the fun brought by football.Because Fowler still respects Houllier very much, so after hearing what George said, Fowler was a little surprised.

In Fowler's mind, after all, he left Liverpool. No matter what the reason is, I am afraid that Houllier, the loyal Liverpool youth team coach, will not forgive Houllier, because Fowler was very surprised.

"Of course, when Michael, Steven and I were still in the youth team, Houllier often compared you with us, so that we would not lose ourselves in our pride." George said with a smile. George did not lie to Fowler, and Houllier did exactly that.

"Hehe, compared to me, you, Michael and Steven have done a good job in Liverpool. Although I left Liverpool, I have never forgotten Liverpool. I am aware of the recent changes in Liverpool. I also believe what the Liverpool media say, you, Michael and Steven are the future of Liverpool."

Fowler smiled. After so many years, he has never seen any storms. Now Fowler will never be as excited as he was when he was young, receiving some praise and praise for a long time.

"Robbie~ I want to know why you left Liverpool in the first place. I believe that you will never leave Liverpool for no reason. After all, it is the place where we grew up and became famous."

George has always wondered why Fowler suddenly left Liverpool and moved to Leeds.George believes that if it is not a last resort, Fowler, the God of Anfield, will not choose to leave Liverpool.

"Hehe, it's useless to say these things, so don't mention it." Obviously, Fowler didn't want to mention the matter of leaving Liverpool, or in Fowler's heart, this matter has always been a pain in Fowler's heart.

"Okay George, the game will start right away, perform well. Although I still like Liverpool very much, I am a player of Manchester City after all. Even if I play against Liverpool, I will never show mercy. I hope you can also work hard and perform well."

Seeing that George was about to say something, Fowler immediately interrupted what George was about to say, turned his head to pass through the entrance of the player tunnel, looked at the court and said indifferently.

Seeing that Fowler was not in the mood to continue talking with him, George had no choice but to choose to remain silent, and began to adjust his mood, gradually entering the game state.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the Manchester City Stadium. Here, Manchester City will sit at home and welcome today's guest, the Red Army Liverpool. Liverpool has been in a good state recently, and has been in the top three positions in the league. They have also won consecutive victories in cup matches and Champions League games. However, Liverpool has had some minor troubles recently. I don't know if Manchester City can beat Liverpool, which has a little trouble at home. Let us wait and see."

Under the leadership of the referee, George and Fowler held their heads high and led their players into the stadium amidst the cheers of Manchester City fans.

For Manchester City, the Manchester City fans naturally gave their own applause, and at the same time kept shouting, cheering for their team, but for Liverpool, the Manchester City fans were not so polite, suddenly huge boos came to the face, and the fans who had been excited even began to insult Liverpool players.

Being able to live in a city with a powerful enemy like Manchester United, and being able to endure his team being bullied by the rival Manchester United in the same city again and again, and giving a huge counterattack to the fans, Manchester City fans are also the top among all the fans of the Premier League.

For Manchester City players, the captain George is the most caring, not only because George is the captain of Liverpool, but more importantly, George poses a great threat to Manchester City's goal, which is so big that it makes Manchester City fans worry. I don't know when, Liverpool, the young captain, will suddenly break out and score goals.Because Manchester City fans are even more mean to George.

"Go back to your Liverpool, this is Manchester, not Liverpool, why are you here to kick, believe it or not, I will kill you."

"You bastard, you thug, you guy who only knows how to fight everyone, go back to your mother and sue me.". . . . . .

From the moment he entered the stadium, the abuse and sarcasm from Manchester City fans kept coming from George's ears.But George didn't respond at all to this. After all, George is not a rookie who just stepped into the Premier League at this time. After two years of experience, George has become numb and accustomed to it.

George and Fowler exchanged team flags, picked sides, and then amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans and the referee's whistle, Fowler passed the ball to Anelka beside him, announcing the official start of the game.

Liverpool's midfield is far stronger than Manchester City's. The game has just started, and Manchester City has not come to pass the ball a few times. Alonso slides the ball to Gerrard on the side in a sliding tackle, breaking Manchester City's ball.

Gerrard took the ball and rushed towards Manchester City's penalty area quickly. At a place 50 meters away from the penalty area, he directly called for a pass and passed the ball to Manchester City's penalty area.

At the moment when Gerrard passed the ball, George immediately accelerated, relying on his speed to forcibly overtake the defense of a Manchester City central defender, entered the penalty area and did not wait for the ball to land, and volleyed directly. The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal immediately.

"Ha!" James yelled at the moment George shot, and with both feet vigorously, he immediately rushed towards the ball.Relying on his excellent goalkeeping skills and physical condition, James took the ball out of the air when it was about to fly into the goal.

That's right, it was picked off directly, instead of holding the ball out of the baseline.This means that Liverpool did not even have a chance to take a corner kick, and it also means that James is in a very good state today.

"Oh, James~~~~ A great save saved Manchester City. It is really beautiful. I can guarantee that James' save will definitely become the best save in this round of the league. It is simply a textbook save."

"Go back, kid, in front of the great Manchester City, in front of the great James, you have no chance to score at all, so save your energy." Under the passionate commentary of the commentator, Manchester City fans also gave their own applause to James who made this wonderful save.Of course, the "enthusiastic" Manchester City fans did not forget to insult and satirize George when applauding James.

"This kid has improved again. How did he grow so fast?" Unlike the commentator and the fans, as James who just blocked George's shot, James felt a lot of things from the moment George just shot.

George and James also entered the England national team at the same time, but James and George were both substitute players at the time. In the national team, George and James practiced when they had nothing to do. Of course, one practiced shooting and the other practiced saving.

Feeling that his palms were still a little numb, James understood that George's strength was much greater than before.The reason why James reached out to pick the ball instead of hitting the ball or holding it out of the bottom line was because of the frequent contact between the two in the national team before. James thought that George was still the same George before, and the shooting power was not very strong, so he reached out to pick the ball up.

But at this moment, James already knew that George's shooting power was much stronger than before. James immediately decided that facing George's shot again, he must not overplay it.

Where there is offense, there is defense. No, when George just completed Liverpool's first shot of the game, Manchester City was not polite, and immediately returned Liverpool's attack.

James took a big corner kick, and the ball was picked up by the Manchester City midfielder. This time, the Manchester City player did not stick to the ball. After getting the goal kick from James, he immediately passed the ball to Fowler in the frontcourt.

Fowler took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball forward to the left. Anelka immediately accelerated to catch up with the ball and shot without hesitation. However, under the interference of Carragher, although the angle of the ball was very tricky, the power was not enough. Because under the interference of Carragher, Anelka's shot was rushed and missed the spot.

The game had just started in less than 5 minutes, and the two sides each completed a shot, and it was a shot with a high probability of scoring.From this point of view, the two sides in this game are destined to play offensive football.

Manchester City's corner kick did not pose any threat to Liverpool's goal. Although Anelka fought for the block and jumped up to fight for the header, under Hyypia's strict feeling, he still didn't get any chance. Yepes grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

As for Fowler, Carragher guarded him tightly, not to mention fighting for the header, and even had no way to move, because Carragher always used his strong body to get Fowler stuck behind him, or kept pushing Fowler out of the penalty area.

Facing Carragher's savage defense, and Carragher's defense that directly bullied him, Fowler could only watch helplessly as the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Yepes, in addition to wryly smiling.

As for the first offense of the two sides, it is obvious that Manchester City has the upper hand, because Manchester City's offense is more threatening, and even got a corner kick.Or it was precisely because of this attack that the Manchester City players were greatly encouraged, and they pressed up one after another, launching a crazy attack on Liverpool's goal.

The fans at the scene saw that the home team, Manchester City, was overwhelming Liverpool, and they roared excitedly, and the Manchester City players seemed to be hitting Liverpool's defense and goals again and again amidst the roars of the fans.

In the 8th minute, Fowler turned around and shot, but it was a little too high, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

In the 11th minute, Anelka received a set ball from his teammate and headed directly to the goal, but the angle was not very tricky, and Dudek blocked it.

In the 15th minute, Anelka received a pass from his teammate again, continued his personal heroism performance, broke through Riise's defense, ignored Fowler, who was in a better position beside him, and forced a kick in front of Hyypia to hit the goal. The ball finally rolled out of the baseline against the post.

Fowler also shook his head helplessly when Anelka saw that the ball didn't go in, and Anelka turned back without even looking at it. He had nothing to say about such a teammate.

Manchester City's attack wave after wave, more threatening each time, seems to make Manchester City forget that they are facing a powerful Liverpool team.

Facing Manchester City's frenzied attack, Liverpool's defense, under the command and leadership of Hyypia, appeared very stable and composed, resolving Manchester City's offense time and time again, causing Manchester City Stadium to send out bursts of regret.

It is shameful to waste opportunities, and you will suffer retribution. There is nothing wrong with this sentence.No, the Manchester City team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, immediately suffered the punishment it deserved for its continuous waste of opportunities.

In the 29th minute of the game, Anelka's long-range shot hit Carragher's body and was taken by Yepes on the side.Immediately, Yepes passed the ball to Smicer in the front court, and Smicer took advantage of the situation, and the ball immediately came to Heskey's feet.

Huskey may be regarded as the best and best passing player among the centers.No, after looking at George's position, Heskey flicked the ball with the back of his foot. The ball drew a parabola and immediately fell into Manchester City's penalty area.

Relying on his speed, George grabbed the ball before James attacked. Without time to adjust, he immediately kicked and shot. The ball passed through James' armpit and rolled directly into the net.

The originally lively stadium suddenly became silent, so all the Manchester City fans were stunned. How could this be? Manchester City obviously took the initiative on the field. If they wanted to score a goal, it would be Manchester City who scored the goal. How could Liverpool score first?

"Coooooooooooooooooal!!! Alan George, a beautiful shot. At this moment, Manchester City seems to have forgotten the fast attack that Liverpool is best at. I hope this goal from Liverpool can make Manchester City players understand that even if the ball is still flying over Liverpool's penalty area, but it takes less than half a minute, the ball may lie in their own goal."

"Boss, you should be satisfied now." Regardless of what the Manchester City fans and players thought, after scoring the goal, George avoided the interception of his teammates and rushed directly to the head coach Lao Bei in front of the bench. He and Lao Bei just hugged each other and said to Lao Bei.

"No, no, one goal is not enough, I need more goals, and you can score more goals." Old Bei was also very excited at this time, and said excitedly.

"Hush~~~!!!" After realizing it, the Manchester City fans who reacted became angry. The guy who he looked down on the most, the one who booed the most, and scolded the worst, actually opened the scoring first.George's goal was like a slap in the face of all Manchester City fans who booed George.Thinking of this, Manchester City fans booed George vigorously.
