Revive Liverpool

Chapter 66

Liverpool's goalkeeper is still Keylor Navas, and the defense is full of injuries.

Pochettino had no choice but to send Flanagan, who hadn't had a chance to play for a long time, as the team's right back.

With Skrtel and David Luiz at centre-back, Carragher appeared at left-back.

In the midfield, Griezmann, Meireles, Kanter and Sterling played the leading role, while the frontcourt was Dirk Drivet and Suarez.

A minute's silence was observed before the match for the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough tragedy.

Manchester City coach Mancini played out the double striker tactics of Tevez and Dzeko in this game.

I hope they can rely on their own strength to attack Manchester City, but the two double forwards of Manchester City are not in the game state at all.

Carlos Tevez, the Argentine striker was placed high hopes by coach Mancini, but the beast is clearly not in the state today.

Although only 6 minutes of playing time, Tevez's poor performance still brought huge troubles to the team.

Manchester City's first goal was related to Carlos Tevez.

In the 13th minute of the game, Kanter easily intercepted the ball from Tevez's feet. After the interception, Tevez was in a daze on the spot and did not fight back on the spot, allowing Kanter to comfortably pass the ball straight to Meireles.

Meireles also easily got the ball in front of Manchester City's big penalty area, and no one from Manchester City's back line stepped forward to interfere, but allowed Meireles to freely choose what to do next.

Meirelles' left-footed shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Kompany, but the ball didn't fly too far.

Moreover, the ball's landing point was grabbed by Griezmann. Griezmann also volleyed vigorously with his left foot to the lower left corner of the goal in front of the penalty area.

Although Hart held the ball up, the ball went into the net and Liverpool led Manchester City [-]-[-].

From this goal, it is not difficult to see the state of Manchester City's game today. Although the win or loss of this game will determine who can stay in the Champions League of the league, the state of the Manchester City players is really not very good.

The offensive players in the frontcourt were out of form, and the team couldn't attack, so they could only be beaten by Liverpool.

Besieged by Liverpool all the time, even if the team's defensive players are in good condition, it is difficult to guarantee that the team will not concede a goal, and the status of Manchester City's defensive players is still a problem in this game.

Then in the 16th minute, Carlos Tevez strained his thigh muscle and was unable to continue the game. He took the initiative to signal the coach to replace him, and it was Balotelli who replaced Carlos Tevez.

Due to off-court factors and successive brain-dead behaviors, many Manchester City fans have lost patience with Balotelli.

Not long before this game, Balotelli got into trouble again.

Manchester City belongs to the multinational team, and most of the players of the national team returned home to participate in the foreign war on the match day.

The reason why Balotelli can stay at Manchester City's Carrington training base during the national team match day is because Balotelli was rejected by the Italian national team coach Prandelli, and the reason is very simple.

"Balotelli kicked Dynamo Kiev's Popov in the Europa League and not calling him was punishment for his atrocities on the pitch," Prandelli said.

I know he's talented, but I don't know if he has the ability to change his personality because I don't have a magic wand, and a lot of coaches have struggled with that before. "

Prandelli refused to recruit Balotelli, and the Italian national team defeated Slovenia away in a harmonious atmosphere, but Prandelli made another prank for Balotelli and created an opportunity. Of course, Manchester City suffered.

The bored Balotelli played darts in the dormitory of the Carrington training base. Unexpectedly, he threw the dart out of the dormitory window and just hit a Manchester City youth team passing downstairs.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the Manchester City youth team player was only smashed and was not stabbed.

Since coach Mancini and other staff of the Manchester City club were not at the scene, the young players did not report the incident to the club.

However, the incident was still inquired into by the omnipotent British media.

The British media "The Independent" reported this incident: the Italian bad boy was playing darts at Manchester City's training base, but he accidentally hit a young player of the youth team.

Although the young player was not injured, the British media once again used "Foolish" to describe Balotelli's behavior.

So the Italian demon boy himself expressed that he should try his best to redeem himself in this game.

When coach Mancini replaced him, Balotelli looked very excited.

In the 34th minute, Liverpool continued to siege in the penalty area of ​​Manchester City. Meirelles and Suarez hit consecutive goals and were blocked.

Sterling's shot into the small penalty area was blocked by Kompany and bounced to the right. Dirk Drivet followed up and pushed the far corner of the goal. Liverpool led [-]-[-].

In the 35th minute, after Meirelles took the ball from the left, he found Suarez in the penalty area with a very wide vision. He passed a high-quality curved ball from the left, and Suarez beat Krarov to head the ball into the goal.

Liverpool scored 1 goals within 2 minute, rewriting the score to [-]-[-].

At the end of the first half, Liverpool entered the locker room with a [-]-[-] lead.

During the intermission, the host of the Anfield stadium said: "Liverpool fans who came to the scene, after the game, our captain Gerrard will have an easter egg released, do you want to know?"

"If you want to know, stay in the stadium after the game!"

In the 50th minute of the second half, Suarez crossed the middle, and Griezmann's strong shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Barry.

In the next game, Liverpool, which scored [-]-[-], can also play a little more relaxed.

However, Manchester City's players are really out of form today, and it is still difficult for their offense to reach Liverpool's penalty area and pose a threat.

The only few shots were also completed by Balotelli, and Dzeko, who started together with Tevez, was completely out of shape in this game, and he has not shot a single shot in the game so far.

It was even difficult to find Dzeko in the live broadcast of the whole game. I don't know what the striker who joined in the winter transfer market did in the game.

And when the person who the team most needs to attack the city appears, Dzeko completely disappears from view, which is embarrassing.

In the 83rd minute, Balotelli, who came off the bench, was replaced by De Jong.

In the game, Balotelli's waist was also injured, but unlike Tevez, Balotelli insisted on playing for a long time, which can also be seen that Balotelli is eager to prove himself.

However, his positivity could not bring good results.

Because the talented striker didn't play in his shooting boots at all.

In more than 70 minutes of playing, none of Balotelli's 4 shots hit the goal frame, and he only played 70 passes in more than 20 minutes, which is really incomprehensible.

But in view of Balotelli's lack of status, Mancini still replaced him with De Jong.
