Revive Liverpool

Chapter 280 Against Manchester City
Liverpool came to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium to stage a strong Premier League dialogue with Manchester City.

Last season, the title match between the two teams was won by Liverpool.

And Manchester City, which ranks second in the league, is not willing to lose to Liverpool just like this.

This summer, the rich and powerful Manchester City once again made big purchases. Powerful players such as Mangala and Lampard all came to the Etihad Stadium, which made the "Blue Moon" lineup envious of others.

Before the game, Manchester City's head coach "Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini said in an interview with the media: "Liverpool last season was great, but last season is over.

We are stronger than last season and Liverpool are no match for Manchester City in the title race without Suarez.

I have always believed that other teams are not as strong as Manchester City, and they do not deserve to win the Premier League.Not winning the games we should have given us more motivation to try to win the rest of the games. "

"People think that Manchester City's rise is only about money, but that's not the case."

Pellegrini said in an interview with the media, "If you want to win the championship, a strong lineup is essential, and that requires a lot of money.

But it's useless to just know that it's useless to spend a lot of money. You also have to ensure that you have introduced the right players and kneaded them into a team with extremely strong combat effectiveness.In the offseason, we strengthened the roster, and I'm very happy about that. "

The game was played in the rain. This was Manchester City's first home game of the new season. There was also a brief entrance ceremony before the game. Manchester City's chairman Mubarak was present to watch the game.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams was extremely fast, and exciting scenes appeared frequently.

In the away game, Liverpool did a great job on both offense and defense, and even created more opportunities than Manchester City in terms of offense.

But even if Liverpool create many chances, if there is no way to seize the opportunities and turn them into points, it is useless.

This side reflects that after Liverpool lost Suarez, the team's finishing ability has declined.

Although Liverpool's finishing ability has declined, Manchester City's game ability has not only not declined, but has been greatly enhanced.

So, they took an opportunity that wasn't an opportunity.

Manchester City broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. Nasri passed Silva from the right, and when Lovren made a header pass to Robertson, Jovetic was still 2 meters behind Robertson.

But he accurately detected the direction of Lovren's clearance, quickly circled behind Robertson and scored with a low shot from 8 yards on the right side of the penalty area.

Manchester City expanded the score in the 55th minute, Silva passed the ball, Jovetic kicked his heel, Nasri broke through from the right and crossed, and the unguarded Jovetic outflanked the penalty area and scored the goal, [-]-[-].

On the surface, Jovetic had a good chance to score in the end, but the chance to create the ball came from Jovetic's heel after receiving the pass from Silva, which attracted all three Liverpool defenders to move to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area. Jovetic quickly outflanked and pushed in place to score.

Manchester City sealed the victory in the 69th minute. Aguero replaced Dzeko with a thigh injury. Just 23 seconds after he came off the bench, Keylor Navas made a direct pass from the right. Aguero threw off Lovren and entered the penalty area with a calm low shot.

The first time the ball was touched, it was 12 yards from the right side of the penalty area, and the score became three to zero.

At the 80th point, Jovetic was replaced, and all the fans of Ittihad stood up and applauded the star who had recovered from his injury.

Jovetic is known as "Eastern European Messi". Although he is only 25 years old, he has been famous for a long time. He was the key player of the team in Florence.

After he moved to Manchester City last season, he had no choice but to stop and go due to injuries, with little performance.

And this season, starting from the warm-up match, Jovetic is in a very good and stable state. He scored more than half of the team's goals in the warm-up match.

And with Jovetic, it actually declared that Liverpool had almost no hope for this game.

After all, the probability of the miraculous performance of scoring three goals in the last 10 minutes of the game like Crystal Palace faced Liverpool at home last season is still very small.

However, Liverpool's players still have to continue to work hard, not to mention tying the score, at least scoring a goal to save face.

So, in the 83rd minute, Liverpool pulled back a victory. Lewandowski got rid of Demichelis from the right and made a pass to the far point. Griezmann's header from the left side of the small penalty area was saved by Joe Hart, but the ball was blocked by Sabaletta into his own gate, [-]-[-].

However, although the game is about to end, Liverpool suffered successive blows, Glenn Johnson and Agger were injured one after another.

The injuries of the two defensive generals made the already fragile Liverpool's defense even worse.

At the end of the game, Manchester City beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home.

Last season's match between the Premier League champions and runners-up ended with Manchester City winning this time.

In an interview with the media after the game, Jovetic said: "We played very well, is today the best game I have joined Manchester City?
Last season I suffered from injuries and played very few games. Today is indeed my highlight moment. I just want to do my best to help the team win another championship.

It is difficult to keep the main force in a team like Manchester City. I will do my best and let the coach decide. "

Last season, Liverpool was able to have a considerable championship advantage in the final stage, largely because Liverpool remained unbeaten in the two games against Manchester City last season.

The home game against Manchester City was a win, and the away game against Manchester City was also a draw.

This time, even though Liverpool made some mistakes in the final stage, they were still able to maintain their lead.

But this game Liverpool lost.

However, this season has just begun, and it is still unknown who will compete with whom for the final championship, so there is no need to be too pessimistic.

But before this game, Pellegrini said a lot of bad things, which made Liverpool fans very angry. They originally thought that if the team won the away game, they would humiliate Pellegrini.

If it is a draw, Pellegrini will never be let go.

But because the team did not win this game, the fans had no way to vent their anger. They could only hold back and wait until the next time the two teams met to vent out.

Regarding Manchester City, the Liverpool club has always had a problem bothering them, and that is the transfer of Sterling.

Manchester City asked Liverpool for the team's teenager Sterling during the transfer this summer.
