Chapter 1036 The Roundest Football
On May 5th, the home of Brighton, nicknamed "The Seagull", the former Red Army star Carragher was talking in the commentary booth of the "Amex Community Stadium".

"United played tough and they had to be ready in less than 48 hours after a long flight from Spain.

Jose rotated more than half of the main players, and Lee, Romelu, Eric (Bayi), Antonio (Valencia) and Alexis did not start. "

Great Neville nodded and said: "Lee, Romelu, and Alexis didn't even make the big list. They are all receiving treatment in Manchester——

The midweek game cost Manchester United too much. "

Cheers erupted in the physiotherapy room of the AON center. Li Liang, who was shirtless, sat up and shouted excitedly.

In the screen, Mata rushed to the sidelines excitedly and jumped up and punched high, Carragher and Neville's voices sounded at the same time: "The goal has been scored!

Juan broke the deadlock! "

The little monster let out a sigh of relief: "We are still alive!"

At the end of halftime, commercials were played, and the score of 1:0 put everyone in the physical therapy room in a good mood.

The second half started soon, and seeing Ibrahimovic standing on the sidelines in the 73rd minute of the game, these people cheered at the same time.

Little Warcraft said: "...What a pity, Zlatan should have had a greater season."

Li Liang, who was the first to finish the treatment, got up and replied: "We still have 4 games, and there are still plenty of opportunities!"

In the 89th minute, Ibrahimovic was knocked down by Brighton's big England defender Dunk when he responded to Martial's cross in the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!

At the same time, the referee also showed Dunk a second yellow card. After being sent off, Brighton could only fight with 10 men.

Li Liang and everyone shouted, "Give the ball to Zlatan!"

In the picture, Pogba picked up the ball as if he heard the shouts from the crowd in the AON center, went straight to Ibrahimovic who had just stood up and handed him the ball!

Neville's voice was a little excited: "We saw that there will be 3 minutes of stoppage time--

If Zlatan can score his first solo goal of the season, then Manchester United will seal the victory and win the game. "

Carragher was slightly calm: "Well, let's see.

Manchester City's game will be played tomorrow. In this way, Manchester United's points will reach 92 points after this game. They will temporarily surpass Manchester City with 90 points and come to the first place in the league standings! "

In the screen, the referee has whistled and Ibrahimovic started a strong run-up.

The Swedish centre-forward pushed the ball into the bottom left corner and Brighton's Australian keeper Ryan slammed it the other way!
"yeah!!!"

Cheers erupted in the treatment room.

……

After the second day's treatment, Li Liang returned to the hotel early, and was restless before dinner.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Liangzi, the pressure on Manchester City should be greater than you!"

Li Liang sighed: "Their opponents in the remaining three games are not strong. In terms of their strength..."

Xiao Yu interjected: "But football is round, anything can happen until the last moment!"

After a hasty dinner, the two sat in front of the TV early. On the screen, Henry and Carragher had already introduced the situation at the crowded Etihad.

What makes Li Liang feel heavy is that Henry and Carragher agreed that Manchester City will continue to regain the top spot after this game without any suspense.

In addition, Henry also chatted about Manchester United's game at the Nou Camp: "...I was really shocked by their performance.

From a rational point of view, Manchester United and Barcelona are at a disadvantage in any aspect, but the final result is contrary to everyone's expectations. "

Carragher continued: "This reminds me of Monaco last season. They also reached the final all the way to the finals..."

Henry shrugged in the picture: "I don't think so.

From the Monaco team that eliminated Manchester City, we should readjust their ratings.

At that time, the strength of Lee, Killian and several others was not really known——

Jamie (Carragher), if you compare the current value of Manchester United excluding Lee, and then calculate the value of Monaco including Lee, Kylian and all the main players last season..."

Carragher nodded frequently: "Indeed, in terms of overall strength, the current Manchester United may not be much stronger than last season's Monaco..."

Henry replied: "Maybe even weaker."

Carragher then asked: "What about Real Madrid?

What do you think Thierry? "

Henry laughed: "I know everyone in Madrid, from Cristiano to Karim (Benzema).

For them, especially in the past few seasons, it is difficult to predict their true strength.

Maybe they can play the strongest dominance in the world in this game, but they can also lose to Espanyol or Leganes in the next game..."

Xiao Yu said to Li Liang: "I read on the Internet that Real Madrid's football is 'metaphysics', and Zidane is 'Xuanzong'."

Li Liang also laughed out loud: "That's what it means, but—"

He became serious: "No matter what, they are Real Madrid."

The match between Manchester City and Huddersfield has finally begun.

The match lasted less than 5 minutes and Li Liang and Xiao Yu became nervous.

Xiao Yu asked: "Brother Liangzi, Huddersfield Town beat you in the first half of the season, right?
How come you haven't touched the ball yet? "

Li Liang stared at the TV screen: "They are determined to defend to the death today.

They are still in the relegation zone like West Ham United, which we will play in the next game, and now they can save lives if they can grab 1 point! "

Manchester City, with the strongest attack line, firmly suppressed their opponents in the half court. Under the organization of Xiwa and De Bruyne, the Blue Moon Corps attacked like a wave.

Seeing Gabriel Jesus, Sterling and Sane get good opportunities one after another, Xiao Yu couldn't help screaming, and Li Liang was even more focused.

The first half of the game ended under one-sided data comparison, and the only closest statistic turned out to be the score——

0: 0.

In the screen, Carragher said: "Huddersfield gave up their offense. Their goal is very clear to take 1 point from the Etihad."

Henry continued: "81 per cent possession and 19 per cent possession...

The corner kick also reached 6:0...

I think Pep may miss Vincent (Kompany) at this time. If he is on the court, Manchester City may be able to use the header to open the situation. "

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Huddersfield's offense improved slightly, but was soon overwhelmed by the blue frenzy on the field again.

Li Liang suddenly held Xiao Yu's hand: "Don't be too nervous...

How can I be sure that the ball at Ittihad is particularly round today? "

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Guardiola rarely waved his arms and shouted in the command area.

In the 75th minute, Manchester City used up 3 substitutions. Veteran Yaya Toure, Bernardo Silva, and French big central defender Laporte all appeared.

The data comparison between the two sides appeared on the screen again. After the 13th shot and the 8th corner kick, Manchester City could no longer knock on the opponent's door.

Li Liang's heart began to beat violently, because he saw the electronic sign on the screen that the fourth official was already standing on the sidelines to prepare for stoppage time.

The 3-minute stoppage time came to an end. As Toure's close-range push went wide during the countdown, the referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game——

Li Liang and Xiao Yu jumped up at the same time, raised their arms high and cheered loudly, then hugged each other tightly——

Both Henry and Carragher on TV were very excited, and Henry said loudly: "...with two rounds left, Manchester United finally returned to the top of the league standings!
After being suppressed by their rivals in the same city for almost the whole season, they have now seen the championship! "
