Glory Greenery

Chapter 366 This is Anfield

In England's top league, if only the background is counted, Liverpool is definitely the number one giant.

At this point, even if their old rival Manchester United is unwilling to admit it, it cannot change this fact.

18次英格兰顶级联赛冠军、7次英格兰足总杯冠军、7次英格兰联赛杯冠军、5次欧洲冠军联赛冠军以及3次欧洲联盟杯冠军，这耀眼的成绩，就是利物浦！

In addition to the results, this team has also created countless legends. The reputation of the miracle of Istanbul is well-known throughout the world of football.

However, this Premier League giant with a deep heritage has never been involved in the top British league championship since winning the League One championship in the 89/90 season.

He has not won honors in the league for many years. Last season, Liverpool even failed to qualify for the European War.

And this season, Liverpool's performance is definitely not good. After 12 rounds of the league, Liverpool only ranked seventh in the standings with 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

Liverpool, once incomparably brilliant, is now in a trough.

However, even though this giant team seems to have lived up to the courage of the past, no one can underestimate its strength.

Liverpool is still an absolute giant in the Premier League!

On the morning of November 11, Yang Mo followed Manchester City to Liverpool. The No.27 round of the Premier League is about to begin. They will challenge Liverpool at Anfield.

This strong dialogue has not yet begun, and the outside world is paying attention to the game.

Although Manchester City lost to Newcastle United in the league, they beat the giants Bayern in the Champions League afterwards, and their morale was still restored. It was the time when the momentum was booming.

On the other hand, Liverpool, without the distraction of the European game, was tied by Swansea in the 11th round and defeated by Chelsea 12-2 in the 1th round. They have already won two rounds in the league.

One is high morale, the other is in a sluggish state. It is self-evident which one the outside world is more optimistic about in this game.

Regardless of whether the outside world is unanimously optimistic about Manchester City, but in the Manchester City team, there has not been any negligence and relaxation.

Mancini led the players to watch the Liverpool game video early in the morning, analyzed intelligence, arranged tactics, and prepared very cautiously.

The start time of this game is [-]:[-] pm in the UK, and in China, it is exactly [-]:[-] pm.

For domestic fans, this time point is definitely not good, but for Yang Mo, it is worth staying up all night for fans.

As the game time approached, Penguin Sports' webcast room had been opened ahead of schedule, and the figures of Zhan Jun and Director Zhang appeared in the eyes of all the audience.

"Good evening, audience friends. I'm Zhan Jun. Tonight, I and Zhang Luzhang will still guide you to explain. In this game, Chinese star Yang Mo will follow Manchester City to face Liverpool at Anfield."

"Director Zhang, what do you think about this game?"

Zhang Lu: "Manchester City is in good form. I think Liverpool's presence at Anfield may cause some trouble for Manchester City. It should be Manchester City who will win in the end."

After Zhang Lu said, Zhan Jun continued: "Liverpool's recent state in the league is really worrying. Suarez, a striker who bought a lot of money, has not performed well. He has only scored three goals in the league so far."

"Three years ago, during the 08/09 season, the fledgling Yang Mo snatched the Eredivisie Golden Boot from Suarez in the Eredivisie League. And the feat of the unprecedented two-level Golden Boot in one season is well-known in Europe, and was finally brought to the Bundesliga by Bayern at a transfer record price in the Eredivisie."

"The domestic fans are very clear about what happened afterwards. Yang Mo helped Bayern win the second six European championships in the first season of joining Bayern."

"In the past three years, Suarez has not left Ajax until he was bought by Liverpool this summer for 600 million euros."

"Interestingly, Suarez's transfer fee this year just broke the record set by Yang Mo back then."

"These two players, who once met each other in the Eredivisie, now gather again in the Premier League in the same year. What kind of dialogue the two will have in this game is also one of the highlights of the game."

When Zhan Jun spoke, he didn't know that the "dialogue" between Yang Mo and Suarez had already started ahead of time.

When the players from both sides got ready and walked into the player tunnel together, Yang Mo could see Suarez who had a much more mature appearance from afar.

Suarez, who was born in 87, is actually only 24 years old this year, but it may be the reason why foreigners develop faster. Looking at the unshaven Suarez, Yang Mo always feels that he is more mature than three years ago too much.

On the contrary, look at him again, even though he has entered the age of 21, the immature face of the Asian still makes him look like a child.

"Louis, I really didn't expect us to play against each other again, it would be in the Premier League."

The first time he saw Suarez, Yang Mo took the initiative to say hello.

How about his relationship with Suarez?At the beginning, he could only be a hero and cherish a hero. Later, after he left the Eredivisie, he didn't communicate too often, and he couldn't talk about friends, but the feeling of mutual appreciation remained the same.

Yang Mo, who knows Suarez quite well, knows that Suarez is a capable player. He believes that Suarez's current sluggish performance in the Premier League is definitely only temporary.

Facing Yang Mo, Suarez responded with a warm hug, "I didn't expect that we would come to the Premier League at the same time. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Would you like a drink after the game?"

"Of course, but I hope you will still be in the mood to drink after the game."

Yang Mo's deliberately arrogant tone made Suarez raise his eyebrows and said: "Yang, maybe you will be the one who is not in the mood."

"Then let's see each other on the field." Yang Mo smiled, and this meeting and chatting was over.

In the player tunnel, players from both sides walked towards the field. After walking past the crossbeam before going down the stairs, Yang Mo finally saw the famous sign.

"This is Anfield", here is Anfield.

The whole body of the brand is red, and it is installed within the reach of the players. In addition to this text, there is also the liver bird of Liverpool logo.

It is said that this brand was set up by the legendary Liverpool coach Shankly. At first, the main purpose was to remind Liverpool players who they are fighting for, and by the way, remind opponents who you are fighting against.

As the reputation of the Anfield Devil's home stadium has become more and more famous, this logo has also become part of the legend of the Anfield stadium.

When passing under this sign, Liverpool players reach out to touch it from time to time. It is said that doing so will bring good luck to Liverpool players.

Yang Mo also wanted to go up and touch it, but after thinking about his identity as the captain of Manchester City, he finally decided not to do such an outrageous and insane thing.

After passing the sign, the green lawn of Anfield is clearly visible.

However, as all players could see the Anfield stadium lawn, the roaring singing in the stands also spread to everyone's ears.

You will never walk alone. Yang Mo is familiar with this song. Back then, Twente fans also liked to sing this song to cheer for the team.

However, it may be due to psychological reasons. When he heard this song at Anfield, he felt that the fighting power was particularly high.

Yang Mo walked out along the player tunnel step by step.

The home of the famous devil in Europe, Anfield!he came!

The moment he walked out of the player tunnel, Yang Mo felt the voice in his ear amplified countless times.

Excited singing!Come on shout!kept pouring into his ears.

As far as the eye can see, everything is red!
At Old Trafford, he has seen another Red Army formation in the Premier League, but the red at Anfield is different from the red at Old Trafford.

The red of Manchester United is relatively deep, with a kind of restraint that makes people feel pressured.

But at Anfield, Liverpool's red is so hot!It was like wave after wave of heat waves, constantly impacting his hearing, his vision, and his heart!
On the KOP stand, the countless waving flags and huge patterns are proving the strength of this stadium and the loyalty of Liverpool supporters.

"What an amazing place..."

I have to say that Anfield really lives up to its reputation.

Manchester City's football market continues to be hot this season, and the home court has been full recently, but the fans of Blue Moon can't give Yang Mo such a feeling.

Perhaps, this is the power of the foundation.

In Yang Mo's sigh, the pre-match ceremony was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

With the whistle of the referee Martin Atkinson, the game officially began.

Liverpool, as the first striker, had just kicked off from Suarez and Maxi Rodriguez, and the singer You'll Never Walk Alone in the Anfield stands sounded again.

It seems that Liverpool fans want to use this method to increase the combat effectiveness of the home team players.

"Liverpool kicked off and the game officially started. The singing at Anfield was really shocking. Let us wait and see what performance Yang Mo, who came to this famous home of European devils for the first time, will perform."

Penguin Sports, accompanied by Zhan Jun's voice, Liverpool launched the first attack.

However, although Anfield shocked Yang Mo, it may not have any influence on Yang Mo.

It's not that he has never seen the famous devil's home stadium in Europe. He has also been to the Westfalen Stadium, which is ranked higher than Anfield.

If you don't believe it, ask Dortmund fans to see how deep the shadow Yang Mo has left on them.

But Yang Mo didn't have Yang Mo. Although Yang Mo felt indifferent, his teammates didn't have such a big heart like him.

No. 13 minutes into the first half of the game, after the two teams came and went for a while, Liverpool launched a new attack.

This time, when Kompany faced Suarez's breakthrough with the ball, perhaps because he was too nervous, he used a pulling action to drag Suarez to him.

This scene happened to be seen by the referee Martin Atkinson. Without hesitation, Martin Atkinson decisively gave Kompany a red card.

Even Kompany, who has always been calm and reliable, will perform like this, let alone other Manchester City players.

At the 10st minute of the first half, Yang Mo received a goal from Silva in the frontcourt, seized the opportunity to shake two defensive players, and then successfully cut inside.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area, he pulled the gap and chose to take a long shot.

However, although the quality of this shot is nothing to say, it is a pity that Liverpool goalkeeper Reina performed outstandingly and punched the football.

Liverpool defender Skrtel took advantage of the football hit by Reina and launched a quick counterattack, sending the ball long into the frontcourt.

Liverpool No. 21 Lucas received a pass just after the midfielder, dribbled forward and then suddenly distributed the ball to Rodriguez. After receiving the ball in front of the penalty area, Rodriguez turned around and kicked a long shot.

In the face of Liverpool's lightning-like counterattack, Manchester City's defense players did not react too slowly. Central defender Lescott, who started the field, jumped up and raised his legs, trying to block Rodriguez's shot with his feet.

But what everyone didn't expect was that although Lescott's foot hit the football, after the football was blocked, the trajectory of the next flight was a bit wrong.

The football was not blocked by Lescott towards the outside of the penalty area, but had a refraction, and flew towards the left of Manchester City's goal at a very tricky angle.

Lescott's block not only made him unexpected, but also made Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart unpredictable.

How could Joe Hart think that his teammates would kick the ball towards his goal, so Joe Hart, who was in no hurry to save, could only watch the football fly into the goal, but he was helpless.

"Oops! Lescott scored an own goal! It's really undeserved."

"Rodriguez's shot is too straight. Even if Lescott can't block it, Joe Hart is actually ready to make a save. Lescott's shot is really fatal."

"In the opening 21 minutes, Manchester City, which has always had the advantage on the field, failed to score, but their own defender helped Liverpool score an own goal. It is really unpredictable."

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's voice, Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish raised his arms and shouted excitedly, while Mancini, who was not far away, helplessly covered his eyes.

On the field, Yang Mo helplessly kicked the lawn under his feet.

Own goal, this is the first time since he joined Manchester City, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

But rather than being uncomfortable, he finally realized that the most important thing was the continued change of his teammates' status.

He doesn't care about the fanaticism at Anfield, but it doesn't mean that his teammates don't care. As the captain, whether it's to stand up to boost morale or use a goal to break the deadlock in the team, he must do it immediately.

"It can be seen that the atmosphere at Anfield in this game still has an impact on Manchester City. Whether it is Kompany who was not calm and fouled just now, or Lescott's own goal under nervousness, it all proves the mentality of the Manchester City players. Something went wrong."

Like Yang Mo, the veteran commentator Zhan Jun also saw the current problems of Manchester City.

The state of Manchester City at this time is very similar to when they were defeated by Newcastle United. If they still cannot adjust the mentality of the players, Manchester City is very likely to have problems again in the league.

"I think it's time for Yang Mo, the captain, to stand up and help Manchester City get out of the predicament."

When Zhan Jun's words fell, on the pitch, just as the Liverpool players were celebrating and preparing to kick off, Yang Mo, who was far younger than Lescott, took the initiative to pat Lescott on the shoulder, "Lescott Kurt, forget about that mistake just now, I think you did a good job."

Lescott, the player whose appearance was a bit hideous due to injury, just felt a little guilty because he scored an own goal.

Hearing Yang Mo's words at this time, he first glanced at Yang Mo strangely, then nodded slightly, "I see, Captain."
