Chapter 1272 I understand you
Manchester City's away game against Liverpool in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final has attracted much attention in England.

The attention received has even exceeded the attention that an ordinary League Cup semi-final should have.

This is because it is very likely that everyone will witness a "historic failure" of Manchester City in this game, which was said by the local media in Liverpool.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Manchester City to be eliminated in the domestic cup.

Last season, last season, last season, they all had similar experiences.

But at that time, it did not cause any uproar like it does now.

On the one hand, it was because at that time, including Manchester City, they devoted their main energy to the league and the Champions League.It's enough for them to win the FA Cup once, as if they have completed the achievement. Once the achievement is obtained, who will keep doing it for nothing?

On the other hand, it is also related to Manchester City's performance.

Today's Manchester City is different from the previous Manchester City. Now they have been unbeaten in the league for as many as 77 games.

Seeing that Manchester City's new record is about to break through the sky.

In addition, in the Champions League, Manchester City has never lost in the Champions League since last season.

This season, the League Cup and the FA Cup are also unbeaten.

It seems that today's Manchester City wants to seek a defeat.

Against this backdrop, Liverpool's 1-0 away win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-final stands out.

It was enough to make everyone as excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood.

At least it proves that Manchester City is not invincible.They can be defeated.

Liverpool's victory is of great significance. He will rekindle the confidence and fighting spirit of countless teams that have become accustomed to fearing Manchester City.

However, if you only win one game against Manchester City, but you are still eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals, it is tantamount to a heavy blow for those teams that have just regained their confidence.

Everyone, everyone who does not support Manchester City hopes that Liverpool can successfully stop Manchester City at home and eliminate Manchester City.

Only in this way can Liverpool's first-round victory be meaningful.

But Rongguang was very aggressive before the game. He said that he hadn't won enough.

In response to his remarks, Liverpool fans specially made a giant TIFO (giant banner) in response to him.

When Rong Guang led Manchester City out of the Anfield stadium, he looked up and saw the TIFO made by Liverpool fans.

Above is him with his head bowed in frustration, and next to him are Liverpool players running and cheering.Next to it was written: "I haven't lost enough yet!"

The Liverpool fans directly changed Rong Guang's words to a different meaning.

This is a mockery of Rong Guang, telling him that Liverpool will not let him lose enough. If he loses the first round in the semi-finals, he will have to lose the second round!

The live broadcast started to give this large TIFO a lot of close-up shots, but Rong Guang's eyes only stayed on it for a second, and then took it back.

His reaction to this TIFO cannot be seen from his face.

until the game starts.

※※※

As soon as the game started, everyone could see how much effort Liverpool put in to deal with Manchester City. Their defense against Rongguang really reached a "close" level.

Rong Guang couldn't even catch the ball normally. He ran to the football, and there was always someone by his side.

In such a situation, it is difficult to score goals.

Liverpool's confidence may come from their defense of Rongguang.

But Rongguang himself keeps in mind that he has been in Manchester City for three and a half seasons, but he has yet to win a League Cup.

No matter what happens in the future, at least this season, he must win the League Cup.It doesn't matter how strong the opponent is or how difficult it is.

He will not change his mind.

If you can't catch the ball well, don't catch it at all.

As a result, Rong Guang's movements began to become erratic.

From the perspective of outsiders, it is that Rongguang's running has increased significantly, but they don't understand what Rongguang's running more means. Maybe they think that Rongguang is running around in order to get rid of the defense?
Without the cooperation of his teammates, Rong Guang's running is indeed running blindly.

But with the cooperation of his teammates, every step of Rongguang will be meaningful and purposeful.

Of course, he needs a group of teammates who understand him.

Coincidentally, although Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not have a good relationship with Rongguang, they understood Rongguang very well...

So No. 203 minutes, but when Rong Guang moved laterally on the wing, there was no ball under his feet.

It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the ball.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as a centre-forward, takes the ball with his back to the goal line outside the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic did not turn around, nor did he pass the football back. He scooped the football off the turf with his right foot, clamped the football with the instep and calf of his right foot, and then flicked his right leg backwards slightly.

He tilted his head slightly, and the football flew past his face and behind him.

At the same time, Rong Guang, who had just moved from the wing to the ribs, suddenly changed direction, turned at a right angle, and turned towards the penalty area. He ran between the two Liverpool defenders and appeared behind the Liverpool defense line together with the football!

"Rong—!"

John Mortensen exclaimed.

There was also a loud boo from the Liverpool fans in the stands, already aware of what was coming.

Rong Guang came out from the middle of Liverpool's defense, just in time to receive the football from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

He didn't stop the ball, but directly swung his right leg and volleyed the football picked by Ibrahimovic!
With a bang, the football flew straight to the back of the goal. Although Liverpool goalkeeper Reina made a save, he didn't touch the football, because the force of Rongguang's kick was too great, and the football was too fast. He couldn't make the most timely reaction at the first time!

The football went straight into the back corner of the goal!

"pretty--!!!"

When the football hit the net, the noisy Anfield stadium suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by Rong Guang's goal, they didn't expect Manchester City to send the football into their goal like this.

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic got the ball with his back to the fans, Liverpool's defense was so impenetrable that he couldn't even turn his body.

But in the blink of an eye, the football entered Liverpool's penalty area, and then Rong Guang appeared out of nowhere, appeared behind the football, volleyed, and the goal went in!

Goals come too fast, like a tornado...

After scoring the goal, Rong Guang still didn't hug Ibrahimovic, but he pointed to Ibrahimovic, then turned and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.

At this time, there were sounds in the stands-the cheers of the Manchester City fans, and the boos, exclamations, sighs, and cursing of the Liverpool fans who gradually recovered.

The Anfield stadium finally returned to the world from the cemetery, and it was finally a little angry.

"Only 23 minutes into the game, Manchester City evened the total score between the two sides to a 1:1 tie! Although the League Cup semi-finals do not pay attention to away goals, I think this goal will definitely have a completely different effect on the morale and confidence of the two teams!"

John Mortensen was right. Manchester City players excitedly rushed towards Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who passed the ball, while Liverpool players seemed a little dazed-many people may not understand how the ball was lost. When many people realized that the football had already entered the penalty area, what they saw was the back of Rong Guang volleying with his right leg.

But how the ball entered the penalty area and appeared behind Liverpool's defense, many people don't know.

Didn't Ibrahimovic take the ball with his back to the goal?
Isn't he unable to turn around?
So how did he pass the football over?
In fact, not only the players on the court, but also the fans in the stands may not see clearly.

Only the audience in front of the TV captured that moment.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic directly picked the ball over the top without looking back, and Rong Guang also moved forward decisively with a tacit understanding. The timing was just right. If he ran a little earlier and was offside, if he ran late, he might not be able to hit such a beautiful kick and volley directly.

The ball was shot beautifully, but Ibrahimovic's pass was equally beautiful.

Both are indispensable.

And this is Manchester City now.

The relationship between Rongguang and Ibrahimovic is not good, but they can play such a cooperation in the game.

The relationship between Rongguang and Kaka is also not good, but don't forget who passed it when Rongguang scored the lore in the FA Cup match against Manchester United.

Therefore, what outsiders seem to be time bombs within the team has become a rocket booster for Manchester City to keep moving forward.

Now it seems that other teams are justified in their envy and hatred towards Manchester City...

The reason for being defeated by others has come to them, and it has become the reason for success!

How can you say other people don't vomit blood?
