Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 882

Pellegrini greeted the players on the field loudly, urging the players to regain their spirits. It was not very early for Manchester City to become a great power, and their spiritual cohesion was relatively poor, which is why they did nothing in the Champions League. One of the reasons is that they not only lack experience in the Champions League, but also lack some original spiritual power.

Liverpool is not good in the league, but it is because of this reason that they can perform well in the cup. They have strong mentality, otherwise how could they stage the miracle night in Istanbul.

However, Manchester City’s own unique team culture is also forming now. Facing such adversity, especially Liverpool, their core players, Kompany loudly cheered for the players and reminded each other that after a few minutes of panic, Manchester City The bloodiness of the players themselves has also been stimulated. You have performed so well, we still want you to be unable to win or even lose this game, and severely hit your morale!

With such a state of mind, Manchester City's players counterattacked without hesitation, while Liverpool's aggressive offensive after scoring a goal did not completely seal the victory. When Manchester City's current sober counterattack, Liverpool's momentum was suppressed.

Not to be outdone, Manchester City fans shouted frantically on the sidelines, sang their songs, and called the names of every player on the field to cheer the players up.

Then Manchester City equalized the score again in the 10th minute after 84 minutes. It was Jovetic's goal and Silva's wonderful pass that penetrated Liverpool's defense. Jovetic succeeded in turning offside. After the point, the ball was lightly sent into the gate of Mignolet's handle.

Manchester City equalized the score again. This game was really twists and turns for everyone, but now everyone is back to the same starting line.

Both Zhang Yuan and Sturridge's physical fitness declined rapidly. Sturridge was actually recovering from a minor injury, while Zhang Yuan hadn't reached his best physical condition yet.

They used too much frontcourt rushing in the first half and the second half, and now it is inevitable that they can't keep up physically.

Seeing this situation, Rogers replaced Sturridge and replaced him with Sterling, while Zhang Yuan was still on the pitch. Rogers was also convinced, and he hoped that Zhang Yuan could shine again at the critical moment.

Pellegrini also made a substitution. The goal engineer Jovetic was replaced by Aguero. Aguero was very efficient. He also came off the bench in the last game. As a result, he scored a goal to help Manchester City win. opponent.

He is not a player who can be viewed as a substitute. He is actually the main force, but he is pressed on the bench by Jovetic who is in good condition.

And just after he came on the field, 23 seconds later, in the 86th minute, he scored a goal!
Liverpool attacked in the frontcourt. Coutinho passed the ball to Sterling and was intercepted by Manchester City. They took advantage of the situation and played a counterattack. The ball went into the empty goal!

Manchester City changed the score again, this time they are leading, and there is really not much time left for Liverpool!

Zhang Yuan really wants to cry without tears. He doesn’t blame Coutinho at all, because he is an attacking midfielder, and the position of conceding the ball is still at the front of Manchester City’s penalty area. The key is Liverpool’s position in the midfield, which is too outrageous Oh, there was not even a single steal or interception in the middle, allowing Manchester City to play a counterattack easily!

Rogers was furious and furious, what is this?Tofu dregs line of defense!In the first round, they could concede goals against the underdog Southampton. In fact, it is not surprising that they conceded three goals against the more offensive Manchester City in the second game.

Liverpool was passive again, and Zhang Yuan and the others also tried to counterattack in the next few minutes, but Manchester City's players were very smart and carefully controlled the ball.

So when Oliver blew the whistle for the end of the game, Manchester City finally beat Liverpool 3:2 at home and scored three points with difficulty.

After wiping off his sweat, Zhang Yuan looked around and felt very bored. What is the problem? !He doesn't know either.

Not to mention him, even Rogers was very depressed. In the interview area after the game, Rogers said: "We should have achieved a better result in this game, but the result was disappointing! Most of our performances were good, but There are still some problems in the handling of several key goals! Next, we need to make a good summary, and the players should forget this loss!"

But seriously, never forget!
Liverpool spent a lot of money this summer. The investment is the first in the Premier League. No one has invested more than them so far, but they have not been able to wrestle with Manchester City. I have to say that the players are a little unhappy.

On the way back, the bus seemed a little quiet, some were sleeping, some were listening to music, but they didn't speak.

Zhang Yuan and Coutinho were sitting together. Coutinho was in a very depressed mood. He neither listened to music nor slept, but kept his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"What are you thinking?!" Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking.

"Ah, oh!" Coutinho woke up, "Well, I'm thinking about my performance today!"

"What do you think?!" Zhang Yuan asked.

"I'm not very satisfied!" Coutinho forced a smile.

"You performed very well, don't blame yourself too much!" Zhang Yuan said softly in relief. In his eyes, Coutinho did a good job. He did not hesitate to run to meet the ball. Liverpool equalized the ball or he caught the ball and got rid of it. Fernando was just separated.

In other words, in front of a strong team like Manchester City, the defensive position is still very good. Liverpool's offense is not particularly good, and everyone's performance is generally normal.

Zhang Yuan thinks that every player is probably like this. After a key game, he always thinks about his performance after the game, and may even imagine that a certain ball is handled like that.

This is the self-learning awareness of the players. Of course, you can’t think too much. Younger players may become more and more frustrated, but Zhang Yuan believes that Coutinho will not. Coutinho is not a baby. Like Zhang Yuan, he is also playing in Serie A, La Liga, and the Premier League, so he has quite a lot of experience.

"I'm not blaming myself, I just want to learn to be smarter in the future!" Coutinho also smiled at this time, pointing to his head.

The two chatted about their common experiences. In fact, although both of them played in Serie A, they never met. To be precise, Coutinho did not get a chance to perform. Serie A is relatively conservative. For example, In terms of defensive positioning, regardless of personal ability, positioning should be more reliable. When Coutinho first arrived in Serie A, he felt like a breakthrough player. He was not tall and thin, so it was difficult to get a position there. But now, it must be different. He is still not tall, but with the rich game experience and changes in physical condition, he is not the kind of weak striker, and he still has a good long-range shot.

When approaching Liverpool, Zhang Yuan ran to the front to discuss with Gerrard, and invited everyone to have dinner together in the evening, taking the opportunity to let everyone get rid of the shadow of defeat.

The Melwood training base is on the east side, and Manchester is also on the east side, just not passing through the urban area. Everyone got off the car at Melwood and drove to the city for dinner. After the game, many players ate some prepared by the team. Snacks are just a temporary boost of energy, this is the main meal at this moment.

Zhang Yuan finally drove his own car these days. He drove a Maserati given to him by Agnelli. It is a more fashionable car among the team, and Sturridge's own car is not. He drove and got into Zhang Yuan's car.

English people don't know how to cook, and English chefs are not well-known in the world. When people mention foreign chefs, many people think of France first, and few people think of Britain.

Usually their meals are relatively simple, and housewives can open cans, but they have a lot of fancy food, which looks nutritious.

Liverpool is a small city. Compared with China, the population is only tens of 10. If you really want to insist on walking, you can go shopping on foot without using a means of transportation. There are many famous restaurants in the city. It is a foreign restaurant, such as Italian, French, Chinese, Thai, Indian and so on.
