Chapter 632 Red Card and Penalty

It is still the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City and Liverpool ushered in the second contest in ten days. This is also the third contest this season. Although Manchester City had someone sent off in the first two games, they achieved a record of one draw and one win.

But this game seems to be a bit different. As soon as the game started, Liverpool launched a strong attack. With the cooperation of his teammates, Gerrard rushed to the outside of the penalty area and blasted a long shot, forcing Joe Hart to make the first save of the game.

Then Manchester City counterattacked, but they were pressed by Liverpool. The ball was cut off at the feet of Assurin. The genius from La Masia did not grow up as expected, and the 20-year-old looked more and more mediocre.

Glen Johnson crossed the center line with the ball and passed it directly to Henderson.

"Oh~~~This is not the Liverpool we are familiar with. Such a strong opening has been seen in Liverpool for a long time." Even the commentator couldn't help applauding Liverpool's performance.

Because in the first 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool has always had the advantage. Even in the No. 11 minute, Liverpool broke the deadlock on the field and took the lead unexpectedly.

Liverpool won a penalty. Downing sent the ball into the penalty area. Kompany and Agger fought for the top. In the end, Kompany won, but Agger fell to the ground covering his face in pain.

Seeing this scene, the fans watching this game couldn't help but rang out the game seven days ago. However, the last time Carroll was suspected of diving, this time, Agger was really thrown by Kompany's big arm.

When the two took off to compete, Kompany was a full head above Agger. Due to the height of the jump, Kompany's elbow directly hit Agger's face, so Manchester City couldn't say anything about this penalty.

However, the referee did not just award a penalty kick, but also a red card. In two cup games, two central defenders of Manchester City received two red cards.

What is even more speechless is that in the three contests between the two teams, Manchester City was at a numerical disadvantage. In the first game, Balotelli turned two yellows into one red because of his funny behavior.

Moreover, there were three penalty kicks in the three matches between the two teams. In the last game, the two teams each got a penalty kick, but Liverpool did not score a penalty kick, while Manchester City scored a penalty kick. In the end, they defeated Liverpool 3-0.

This time, Carroll was not vying with Gerrard, and the Red Army spirit did not intend to concede the penalty. Although Joe Hart performed as well as ever, and even judged the right direction, he still failed to prevent Gerrard from scoring for Liverpool. Liverpool led 1-0 in the away game.

The Liverpool fans were excited. They played against each other three times and took the lead for the first time. The bench on the sidelines was also excited. While taking the lead, Manchester City was also sent off one man, turning from a disadvantage to an advantage.

But the relief on Dalglish's face was only fleeting. The last game was still vivid in her memory, and it seemed that she really needed this victory, and needed a championship to boost the team's morale and save her reputation in Liverpool.

Even in order to perform better in the second half of the season, Dalglish shamelessly asked Liverpool for transfer funds, but the poor and clinking Liverpool finally paid 1000 million.

This incident was also reported by the media, but Dalglish's eyes were once again questioned, he actually took a fancy to Darren Bent and Defoe.

To put it bluntly, the value of these two people is the English household registration book, and their ability is completely insufficient to gain a foothold in a wealthy family. However, this is in line with Dalglish's selection criteria. Downing, Henderson, Carroll, and Dalglish seem to have been pursuing localization.

After Kompany left the field, Van Basten made a substitution in this game. Boateng replaced Assurin to make up for the lack of defense. Manchester City changed to 441 and switched to defensive counterattack tactics.

Liverpool, on the other hand, was quite in control, attacking around Manchester City for a time, but they were unable to expand their lead. Joe Hart once again became an insurmountable difficulty for Liverpool.

It seems that Joe Hart has always had a very good performance against Liverpool, and this time is no exception. Officially, Joe Hart's high catch and low block made Liverpool score many times without success.

Even in the No. 305 minute, Manchester City almost tied the score because of a counterattack. In the end, Balotelli's shot was saved by Reina, but Liverpool still paid the price. Midfielder Spilling sprained when he was turned around after being broken by Li Feng. Liverpool also used up a substitution.

However, this substitution made Liverpool's offensive more powerful, because it was replaced by Charlie Adam. Spilling had almost no offensive ability, but Charlie Adam was different. He was the core of Liverpool's midfield this season, and most of Liverpool's offensives were launched from his feet.

This season, it was the first time that Manchester City played so uselessly. As far as the first half was concerned, Manchester City's ball possession rate was not 90.00%. You must know that since Li Feng joined, Manchester City's ball possession rate has never been less than [-]%.

Moreover, Manchester City is not a team like Barcelona that pursues ball possession for the sake of possession. It only requires that at the feet of Manchester City, Li Feng always transforms them into waves of offensives.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City still had a chance to equalize the score, and it was a counterattack. After receiving a pass from Li Feng, Balotelli was brought down by Agger, and Manchester City won a free kick in a good position.

Li Feng's free kick is needless to say, besides Li Feng, there is also Kolarov. In the last game against Manchester United, Kolarov used a free kick to help Manchester City recover a goal. Even Balotelli has a good free kick.

Li Feng walked towards the ball as usual, but Balotelli moved a step faster than Li Feng, and then turned to Li Feng with the ball and said: "I created this free kick, so I hope I can take the penalty myself."

"Then you have to ask your head." Li Feng shook his head and signaled Balotelli to ask Van Basten on the sidelines.

"This is a matter between us, regardless of the head. Also, do you dare to make a bet with me, if I score the whole ball, then I will take the free kicks I create myself. If I don't score, then I will not force free kicks with you in the future." Balotelli did not look at Van Basten. He is not a fool. He is very clear about Li Feng's position in the team and in Van Basten's heart.
