Chapter 417: Top Battle against Blue Moon

During this national team match day, the two rounds of the play-offs of the European Cup qualifiers also ended.

Hungary was 1:0 away and 2:1 at home. The total score of the two rounds was 3:1 and Norway advanced.

Ukraine played 2:0 at home and 1:1 away, and eliminated Slovenia with a total score of 3:1 in the two rounds.

This time Ukraine was finally not overturned.

In the last international competition qualifier, that is, in the play-off match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifier, Ukraine faced France at that time, winning 2:0 at home in the first round, but lost 0:3 away in the second round, so was eliminated.

Sweden defeated Denmark 2:1 at home and 2:2 away, with a total score of 4:3 in the two rounds.

Ibrahimovic scored three of Sweden's four goals in two rounds.

Although Ibrahimovic has always been invincible, he does have the attribute of stealth against strong teams, and the performance of the national team is not good enough. This time he can be regarded as a proof of himself.

Ireland played 1:1 away and 2:0 at home. The aggregate score of the two rounds eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina 3:1 and advanced.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has Dzeko and Ibisevic on the front line, Pjanic in the midfield, and Kolasinac in the backcourt. This lineup is actually not bad, but Danny Murphy and Robbie Ireland, led by Keane's two veterans, was killed, which is quite unjust.

As a result, Hungary, Ukraine, Sweden and Ireland, these four teams became the last four teams to qualify for next year's European Cup in France.

On the 13th round of the Premier League, the Liverpool team came to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, where they will play a top battle with Manchester City.

In this game, the main lineup of the Liverpool team is basically there, only Henderson is still recovering from his injuries.

For Manchester City, they missed two key players, David Silva and captain Kompany.

Blue Moon played a 4231 formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defenders: Kolarov, Mangala, Demichelis, Sagna;

Defenders: Fernando, Yaya Toure;

Avant-garde: Sterling, De Bruyne, Jesus Navas;

Forward: Aguero.

Manchester City fans had a blast at the Etihad Stadium before the game.

After all, this is their home court, and it is also the top game that has attracted much attention.

As long as Manchester City beat Liverpool at home in this game, they can successfully climb to the top of the standings and at the same time launch a counterattack against the Premier League champions.

In the Premier League season two years ago, Manchester City was working hard in the future, and finally beat Liverpool to win the Premier League championship that season.

Of course, Manchester City won the championship that season, mainly because Mourinho and Chelsea helped snipe Liverpool, which gave Manchester City a chance.

But this season, Chelsea and Mourinho are having a hard time, and they probably won't be able to help Manchester City anymore.

Before the start of the game, Manchester City was very confident from the players to the fans, because Liverpool had just ended their unbeaten start in the Premier League, and it should be the time when morale was frustrated.

But after the game officially started, they lost confidence.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Lee Chenglong steals the French full-back Sagna in the midfield,

Then, taking advantage of the lack of organization of the opponent's defense line, he quickly stepped forward to pass Mangala, and directly entered the penalty area.

Joe Hart seems to be under-prepared. In fact, Hart’s condition has not been very good this season. He didn’t even stand properly. Lee Chenglong pushed the far corner ahead of time, and the ball passed in front of him smoothly. Into the far bottom corner of the goal.

Goooooooooooal~~~~~~~~~~

Super Bruce~~~~~Beautiful solo ride!!!

Just three minutes into the game, Bruce Lee took the lead for Liverpool. After a mid-court steal, Super Bruce definitely caught Blue Moon by surprise.

After Jackie Lee scored, the whole Liverpool team was very happy and celebrated at the Etihad Stadium.

In this game, Liverpool's goal is to keep a tie and win. As long as there is a draw, it is completely acceptable, so that the team can continue to occupy the top of the standings.

But now, the team has made a fantastic start, which is of course something to cheer about.

Uncle Zha also excitedly punched the farmer three times on the sidelines, causing the Manchester City fans on the stage to boo non-stop.

But after a while, they couldn't boo again.

In the 17th minute, Firminola sent a cross. Coutinho, who has been in good form recently, went in from outside the penalty area and shot ahead of Kolarov, expanding the score for Liverpool.

Immediately after the 26th minute, Coutinho also reciprocated, and also sent an assist for his Brazilian compatriot.

Li Chenglong sent a through ball, and Coutinho successfully stepped forward to get the ball against offside, and then unselfishly distributed the ball to Fimi, allowing him to easily push the empty goal.

In this way, the two Brazilians completed passing shots to each other, and the score quickly became 3:0.

In less than half an hour of the first half, Liverpool took a three-goal lead at the Etihad Stadium. This battle for the top spot was a one-sided massacre.

Of course, Manchester City also made a lot of mistakes. They seem to be out of shape as a team. Repeated mistakes give Liverpool opportunities.

Manchester City is indeed a little out of shape. Their head star Aguero has just returned from injury. De Bruyne and Sterling, two players who have spent a lot of money on Manchester City, have not yet been fully activated, and their performance is not stable enough. , Others such as Yaya Toure, Navas, etc. did not perform at all.

Manchester City is not in form. After Liverpool's unbeaten start was ended, they let go of their psychological burden and fully demonstrated their own strength.

As a result, the game became one-sided.

However, before the end of the first half, Manchester City still pulled back a victory.

Aguero hit the world wave with a long-range shot in front of the penalty area, recovering a goal for Blue Moon, and at the same time made the faces of the home fans look better.

If the first half at home ended with a 0:3 trailing score, they might be preparing to leave early.

During the intermission, Uncle Zha gave instructions to slow down the pace of the game in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, Blue Moon seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to continue working hard.

But there is a saying that goes well, if you don't work hard, you don't know what despair is.

In the 62nd minute, Liverpool took advantage of the opponent's attacking gap to launch a counterattack. Although Joe Hart made a beautiful save and saved a strong volley from Lee Chenglong's penalty area, Liverpool won a corner kick.

In the corner kick attack, Lee Chenglong successfully grabbed the first point. Although he failed to head the goal smoothly under the interference of Demichelis, he ferryed the ball to Skrtel's feet by mistake.

The Slovakian defender blasted the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.

The score became 4:1, Manchester City gave up, and the Liverpool team was quite satisfied with the score, so the rest of the game time turned into garbage time, the two teams took turns replacing players on the bench, let them go up to find the feeling of the game .

In this way, Liverpool beat Manchester City 4:1 at the Etihad Stadium, not only won the top game, but also widened the gap with the second place by the way.

Three weeks ago, Liverpool beat Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.

And now, they beat Manchester City 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

The two strongest blue teams in the Premier League both suffered a 4:1 massacre by Liverpool, and both were at home.

And this season, there is also a blue team Leicester City that has sprung up in the Premier League this season. I don't know what the score will be when they meet Liverpool?

Also in this game, Liverpool scored four goals, but Lee, Coutinho and Firmino all scored beautiful statistics with one pass and one shot at the same time, which is also rare.
