Chapter 231 Master Bei Fires the Cannon

The Premier League is still going on.

The game against Wigan Athletic is the sixth round of the Premier League.

Liverpool continued their good start, with four wins and two draws, ranking first with 14 points.

Arsenal had four wins and two losses, and lost to the underdog Hull City in this round, with 12 points, ranking second.

Manchester City has won three consecutive victories, and scored 11 goals in the last two games, ranking third with 11 points.

Chelsea have 11 points, ranking fourth with a goal difference disadvantage.

Manchester United ranked ninth with 8 points.

The most disappointing thing is Tottenham. They have not won a game in six games, ranking last.

The most eye-catching team is Hull City. They have three wins, two draws and one loss with 11 points, the same points as Manchester City, but with less goal difference, ranking fifth.

Three days later, on September 9, Manchester City played at home against visiting Eindhoven.

The opponent is not very strong.

Because there was a Premier League game against Liverpool on October 10, Duncan chose to rotate.

The substitute players performed very well. Although they were defeated in the game against Samaras, Aguero's performance on the field was still steady. Relying on Ljungberg's cross after a long-distance attack, Aguero made a point behind. The goal was successful and helped the team beat Eindhoven 1:0.

Two consecutive victories in the Champions League, leading with 6 points.

In this UEFA Champions League game, Duncan's goal was actually to keep the tie and win, but the substitute players gave Duncan some surprises. A small victory gave Manchester City more room to move around in the next UEFA Champions League.

The large sum of signings in the summer has still achieved results.

And then, the next game will be a battle between red and blue!
Manchester City's opponent is Liverpool, unbeaten in six rounds of the league!
Today's Liverpool can be said to have the strongest lineup in the past 20 years: the midfielder's iron triangle, the sharp striker Torres!
The midfield combination of Gerrard, Harvey Alonso and Mascherano, even in the Premier League ten years later, is one of the best midfield combinations.

And God Torres...

This is out of water, everyone knows it.

And the Liverpool manager.Mr. Benitez.

I don't know if it was infected by Ferguson or pushed by Mourinho.

This season, Liverpool coach Benitez has opened up his mouth skills, going up to the FA and down to Shevchenko, there is nothing he can't spray.

I don't know if this guy worshiped a lama before the season, and his mouth was consecrated.

Since he was going to Manchester City, Benitez spoke again.

"We have remained unbeaten this season. Although many people doubt us and think that we performed poorly when we encountered strong teams, it was because we did not meet strong teams! So this game against Manchester City came as a surprise. It's about time, and what better way to beat the defending champions?"

In an interview before the game, Benitez said calmly.

"We are all very confident that we can beat Liverpool. This is not a problem for us at all! I wonder if Mr. Benitez will still remember the big words he said after losing the game?"

Faced with the provocation from Benitez, Duncan said it was an understatement.

"We haven't lost yet, and we are in a good state. Let Manchester City feel the feeling of losing in this game!" Benitez fought back, um, just shouting slogans, it seems that there is no nutrition, There is no lethality.

"It's a very good arrangement to welcome Manchester City after beating Manchester United! It's definitely a wonderful thing to beat Manchester twice in one month."

Captain Gerrard also expressed his confidence in the game.

The head coach's counterattack was useless, so the captain naturally had to stand up.

Liverpool and Manchester United are feuds, so when Gerrard fired at Manchester City, he also brought Manchester United with him.

Ferguson was shot in the knee.

"Some people say that the top of the standings is the strongest team. In fact, they are very wrong. Only the team that wins often is the best team. After this game, I think some people Will keep his mouth shut." Shevchenko also spoke.

Duncan: The captain is good, help out!Increase salary, increase bonus!
"But we are still at the top of the standings. Judging from the current results, it seems that we are stronger." Benitez said: "Compared with some people who can only talk, we care more about the excellent performance on the field. Show off and beat your opponent!"

Benitez's unreasonable words made people dumbfounded. It seems that he started the verbal quarrel first, right?
"Since this is the case, let's use our performance on the field to prove who is stronger and who is weaker." Duncan ended the verbal attack.

Of course, despite being aggressive on the surface, in fact, Liverpool still treats Manchester City as a strong opponent.

Last time, Benitez tried his best to study Duncan, but ended up with nothing. This season, he changed his thinking, emphasizing that the team is mainly based on me, and the results of the team are actually good.

This also gave Benitez confidence.

He also wanted to stick to one style, to settle down.

Among the predictions of the outside media, everyone is also inclined to Liverpool.

The reason is simple. Liverpool's midfield configuration is too strong, and Torres, the striker, is also in good condition. He scored five goals in six appearances this season, firmly occupying the top scorer list.

Moreover, Benitez has coached Liverpool for many years, and Liverpool's style has gradually formed, and this season is the time for results.

And Liverpool's unbeaten record of four wins and two draws this season illustrates this point even more.

…………

October 10, Manchester City, City Stadium.

Last season, Liverpool was double-killed by Manchester City. Benitez's memory in this stadium is not good.

In the second round, Liverpool was humiliated by Manchester City's substitute lineup, and by the way, the teenager Sturridge's first goal was fulfilled.

And this season, with the maturity of Harvey Alonso, the growth of Mascherano, and the increasingly obvious leadership role of Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield iron triangle has also become an aspect of the entire Premier League. The envious diamond midfielder.

Coupled with the striker arrow Torres, with this lineup, everyone will wake up with a smile, right?

It's no wonder that Benitez will turn on his mouth skills.

It's just that the team's performance is so flamboyant, those teams like Real Madrid, I'm afraid they want to wield a hoe again?
Well, Manchester City in front of us is also one.

Shaking his head, throwing all distracting thoughts out of his mind, Benitez turned his attention to the field again.

"Let them be careful after the opening, control the midfield, take the initiative to attack, and first firmly control the initiative in my hands!"

The teams enter the field, play the national anthem, pick sides, and exchange team flags.

After a series of procedures, the referee blew his whistle, and the encounter between the first and second in the league began at the city stadium!

"Friends in the audience, you are watching the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester City vs. Liverpool. The game has already started. This game is the team with the best state this season. It is against the defending champion last season. The importance does not need to be Too much to say. We saw that the two sides fell into a fierce battle at the beginning of the game." In the commentary room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray explained.

Game kick off.

Torres knocked the ball over to Dirk, and the Dutch winger passed it back to Reds spirit Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard observes with the ball.

Manchester City did not stick to the backcourt, but pressed up from the beginning.

Gerrard then passed the ball back to Alonso, who wanted to lead the Manchester City formation further out.

But Manchester City's frontcourt players were very determined.

The ball reached Alonso's feet, but although he was able to get rid of it, Shevchenko and Samaras seemed to be double-teaming him, so Alonso continued to hit the ball back.

The ball came to Carragher, who passed it to Aurelio on the left. As soon as Aurelio got the ball, he was targeted by David Silva.

Silva's work is very high and his defensive attitude is very active. Aurelio is entangled and has no choice but to send the ball back because he is afraid of losing the ball.

Shevchenko and Salamas pressed Skrtel and Carragher step by step.

Carragher retreated into the penalty area and could only kick a big foot directly.
