Chapter 303
Sterling won a penalty for Manchester City, but it was not him who took the penalty, but it was given to Aguero.

After all players on both sides except goalkeeper Mignolet and Aguero had exited the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle.

The whistle sounded, Aguero took a run-up, and then shot low!
The football flew against the turf toward the lower left corner of the goal!
Mignolet judged the right direction and jumped in!
But Aguero's kick was very powerful and the ball was very fast. Mignolet only pounced on the football after it entered the goal...

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! Aguero! Aguero!! At the end of the first half, he equalized the score for Manchester City!"

After scoring, Aguero ran to the corner flag area and celebrated the goal with the Manchester City fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium.

The first half ended not long after Manchester City equalized.

Players from both sides walked off the field.

The television broadcast focused more on Sterling.For most of the first half, Sterling's performance was the best.If you want to choose a player of the half, this honor must belong to Sterling.

In the visiting team's locker room, the team's morale was a little low because they had just lost a goal. After everyone came back, they were relatively taciturn.

Klopp did not criticize his players when he saw this, but encouraged them.

"It's nothing, it's just a draw, not behind. We still have a chance. The problem in the first half is that our defense was not very successful. This is not your problem, but my problem. I didn't answer the question before the game. Sterling made targeted arrangements. So in the second half, we have to adjust...Milner."

He called Milner's name, thinking that Klopp wanted him to strengthen his defense against Sterling in the second half, such as staying close... He clenched his fists, intending to show his fighting spirit.

But Klopp said: "You rest in the second half."

"Huh?" Milner was surprised.

"Ah what, you got a yellow card. Do you want to be sent off?" Klopp said and turned to Kolo Toure. "Kolo, you go in the second half and defend Sterling."

In fact, there was no plan to let Milner play as a defender, but there is no way. There is basically no one on the bench who can take on the big role. If Toure is a few years younger, he will definitely be the first choice to replace Manquillo, but unfortunately he is old after all, okay There is still no problem during half-time.

Toure nodded. There is also a Toure opposite Manchester City, Yaya Toure!Those were his beloved relatives, friends, and brothers, and he didn't expect that they would have to fight against each other on the field again.

Then Klopp said to Royce: "In the second half, you should sit a little deeper and actively return to defense to assist Toure in defending Sterling."

Although the position change allowed him to defend more, Royce had no problem with it. He stood up and expressed his confidence loudly: "No problem!"

"If we attack...Man City will definitely attack in the second half, so we still wait for opportunities to counterattack. We must be fast when attacking. The wide players must run more and don't care about physical fitness."

On the other side, Pellegrini is also arranging tactics for his players in the second half.

"Sterling is in very good shape in this game. So our offense in this game revolves around him, and others must try to cooperate with him."

Everyone has turned their attention to Sterling. It has been almost half a season since he moved to Manchester City. This is the first time he has enjoyed such treatment...

"We don't know if Klopp will replace Milner, who has a yellow card, at halftime. If not, we will assist their right wing, which is our left wing." Pelleg As Rini spoke, he rearranged the magnet chess pieces of both sides on the tactical board. The center of gravity of the formation was obviously tilted to the left.

"Of course, if they change people, it doesn't matter, they will still attack here. But at the same time, we will definitely have space on the right, but Navas and Kolarov must pay attention to timely insertion. Once they are on the left After Lu's attack is completed, the football must be quickly moved to the other side..."

Pellegrini kept moving his hands, moving the small black and white flag representing football around on the tactical board.

The Manchester City players watched and listened intently.

After 15 minutes of rest and adjustment, players from both sides walked out of the locker room and walked to the court.

Milner, who had been replaced, was wearing a Liverpool jacket. When he saw Sterling, he glared at him viciously.

Manchester City also noticed Milner, and when they saw him wearing a coat, they knew what was going on.

The players from both sides stood firm on the court, but the game did not start immediately. The fourth official raised a substitution sign on the sidelines, signaling Liverpool's substitution.

Milner exits, Toure enters.

Pellegrini glanced over at Liverpool.

Klopp made a substitution.

However, this is not beyond his expectation. He had already made corresponding preparations during the halftime break. This substitution adjustment will not affect his tactical arrangements.

However, the commentators gave a good talk about this substitution.

"Milner is off. He has a yellow card. Klopp must have known that he would become Manchester City's main attack point in the second half. That yellow card was a big hidden danger, so he simply took him off..."

"Actually, even if Milner didn't have this yellow card, Klopp might have replaced him at halftime. After all, his performance in the first half was not very good. In the conversation with Sterling, he was completely At a disadvantage. It became the biggest hole in Liverpool's defense in the first half. Such a performance will definitely lead to substitution..."

When the substitution prompt was made, Toure was already on the court, so there was no need to perform a substitution handover ceremony.

After the fourth official put down the sign, the referee blew the whistle to start the second half.

The second half started with Liverpool kicking off.

They took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and passed the football back and forth in the backcourt, while Manchester City pressed forward, intending to force the ball from Liverpool's feet and then directly counterattack.

At this time, Lin Yi kept running in the backcourt while looking up to observe the situation.It happened that Salah passed the football horizontally to him in the middle from the wing. Lin Yi did not stop the ball, but directly made a long pass and sent the football to the front of the right wing.

Firmino moved forward at high speed and received the ball from Lin Yi.

"A long pass as accurate as a long-range guided missile! Firmino received the ball from a position behind the Manchester City defense! This is Liverpool's counterattack opportunity!"

Although Firmino received the ball behind him, Manchester City's defender did not give up. Segna was not slow either and was chasing closely behind him. Firmino had to dribble the ball, so there was nothing he could do for a while. Get rid of him.

Fortunately, Royce responded in the middle.

So he chose to pass the football horizontally.

Royce prepared to catch the ball on the penalty area line, but the football was tackled and destroyed by Demichelis who returned to defense.

At the same time, the referee Zweil also blew the whistle. Judging from his gesture, Royce was judged to be offside...

TV replays told everyone that this penalty was questionable - when Firmino passed the ball, his body and football were ahead of Royce. He passed the football to Royce. In this case, Royce did not exist. It's said to be offside.

However, although this penalty was controversial, it did not really make the players fight. After all, even if the referee did not call Royce offside, he did not get the ball...

The game continues.

Manchester City quickly took a free kick from the backcourt and attacked the frontcourt.

Then Aguero fired an angry shot from the edge of the penalty area. The football hit Skrtel's leg, changed the line and flew out of the baseline. Manchester City won a corner kick.At this time, the second half had just started for a minute and a half.

Navas went to take the corner kick, and he chose to send the football directly to the back of the goal.

Here Lovren jumped high and pushed the football out with his head.

The football flew high out of the penalty area and flew about ten meters outside the penalty arc.

Sterling ran here, ready to get the second shot.

The football fell from the sky, Sterling stretched out his right foot, preparing to stop the football.

Although the ball flew high and fell quickly, for a player of Sterling's level, stopping the ball should not be a problem...

As a result, when the football hit Sterling's foot, his foot did not have time to make a cushioning action. The football fell down abruptly and then bounced out...

It fell three meters in front of him!
This just gave Salah the opportunity to rush up with the football. He accelerated and ran towards the football, intending to grab it.

Sterling naturally knew what he would do if he lost the ball here, so he also hurriedly started, while leaning his whole body towards Salah.

Salah still stabbed the football first, but he was also knocked to the ground by Sterling.

Sterling, who knocked down Salah, didn't do well either. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

But he was better than Salah. He could still struggle to get up, but Salah was pinned down by Sterling and couldn't move at all.

Sterling struggled to get up and regain control of the football.

But Qiu Qiu had already been ambushed by Lin Yi, who was ambushing the two of them.

This is really a mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind...

By the time Sterling got up, Lin Yi had already taken the football out almost ten meters away.

Sterling originally wanted to chase back directly, but he saw Francisco already leaning towards Lin Yi, so he ran to the middle to fill Francisco's position.

Lin Yi dribbled the ball straight towards Manchester City's frontcourt, and he passed the center line smoothly.

At this time Francisco also came closer.

Lin Yi did not intend to have physical contact with Francisco, nor did he intend to pass Francisco.

When fighting back, what matters is the word "quick".He absolutely couldn't slow down here, so he made an emergency stop and smashed the ball, dodged Francisco who was rushing towards him, and immediately distributed the football diagonally to the right wing, where Firmino was advancing at high speed.

At the same time, after passing the ball, he continued to rush into the penalty area.

"Liverpool's counterattack!! Manchester City's players are desperately trying to defend! Now in the frontcourt, it's Liverpool three against three!"

Firmino received a pass from Lin Yi outside the penalty area. At the same time, Royce was also moving closer to Firmino. The two had to establish contact and cooperate.

So the other two Manchester City players also rushed in that direction.

Even Francisco, who was shaken by Lin Yi, turned around and rushed over there, completely unaware of Lin Yi behind him.

After Firmino received the ball in the corner of the penalty area, as a forward, of course he had one and only one thought, and that was to shoot!
Before the Manchester City players surrounded themselves, Firmino shot first!

However, his shot did not hit Joe Hart. The football was blocked by Kolarov with his foot, then bounced up and flew to the other side of the penalty area by accident.

Originally, players from both Liverpool and Manchester City were concentrated near Firmino. Who is there?

Lin Yi, who intervened, told them the answer!

"It's Lin!"

"Lin's chance!"

Although the commentators are so good, if you look at the flight trajectory of the football and the route Lin Yi inserted, you will find that the two do not overlap perfectly.

Lin Yi rushed forward, but the football bounced off and flew into the space behind him.

If this continues, football and people will pass each other and fly in completely opposite directions.

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly stopped while running, turned around, looked up at the football and jumped.

As he jumped up, he swung his right foot upward, just in time to kick the football that was about to fly past him!
It's just that Lin Yi's kick didn't hit the football firmly, but rubbed past the middle and lower part of the football.

After the football was hit, it changed direction and flew towards the goal. It was not like a cannonball that went straight into the goal.

Instead, it drew a slightly weird arc and fell towards the back corner of the goal...

Joe Hart reflexively made a save when Firmino shot.

Of course, the football did not fly over in the end, but was blocked by Kolarov and flew to the other side.

So Joe Hart quickly got up from the ground and ran over, intending to block Lin Yi's shot.

At this moment, Lin Yi kicked the football back to where he was at the beginning.

Faced with such a shot, Joe Hart had no time to change direction and run back. He could only jump back on the spot, and at the same time stretched his arms as much as possible, trying to reach the football in the air, as if to increase defense. When he jumped back, he also turned around in the air, trying to use the power of turning to make himself jump higher.

He jumped really high, but he still didn't touch anything except air...

The football flew higher than his hand. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a high ball to fly into the goal.

But after the football passed Joe Hart, it suddenly fell, not very fast, and swayed straight into the upper corner of the goal.

How about a weird arc?

Joe Hart turned his head in the air and watched the football scrape the lower edge of the crossbar and fly into the goal he was guarding... Then he lost his balance and hit the ground.

"Firmino shot! The ball was blocked and flew to the other side...Lin! Upside down golden hook!! Hart once again became the background of the world wave, poor Hart"
