Chapter 454
Bolton's defeat made the entire Premier League deeply aware of how terrifying this Manchester City team will be when it is completely run-in.
At this time, some people in Jayami questioned Pellegrini's coaching.
Although the old coach did not make too many changes to Mancini's previous tactics, his control of the details made Manchester City's cooperation more delicate and maximized the use of Yang Mo.
Still trusting Yang Mo, this may be the most correct thing Pellegrini did.
Seeing Manchester City like this, if you want to say who is the most panicked, of course it is Liverpool, who is about to meet Yang Mo.
In the second round of the league this season, taking advantage of Yang Mo's suspension and Ibrahimovic's difficulty integrating into the team, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3-2 at home.
Because of this victory, Liverpool's trust coach Rodgers has also gained the trust of Liverpool's top management.
But when most of the season passed, Liverpool's performance plummeted, while Manchester City became more courageous.
That loss to Liverpool turned out to be the only loss of the season.
At this time, facing such a terrifying Manchester City, how could Liverpool not panic.
But can panic solve the problem? Rodgers, who also drove high and low at the beginning of the season, now faces the same fate as Benitez who was kicked out at Chelsea.
At the end of the 24 rounds of the league, Liverpool only ranked 8th in the standings, not to mention the Champions League seats, even the Europa League seats are basically out of play.
This kind of team leadership is not only unsatisfactory for Liverpool's top management, but also for Liverpool fans.
If it wasn't for Liverpool not being able to find a successor for a while, I'm afraid Rogers would have been kicked out long ago.
In this case, Liverpool met Manchester City again, and Rogers suddenly felt that this seemed to be his opportunity.
As long as he can beat the current Manchester City, he can prove his ability and save his fate of being kicked out.
Therefore, after coming to Old Trafford on February 2, in this high-profile battle of focus, Liverpool went crazy and fought hand-to-hand with Manchester City, fighting against each other.
Seeing Liverpool's tactics, Pellegrini was going crazy with joy.
With a big wave of the Chilean's hand, Manchester City's entire army pressed forward. It was more than an attack, and Manchester City couldn't wish for it.
Facing the somewhat irrational Rodgers, Yang Mo, Ibrahimovic, and Aguero's striker, the backhand stabbed Liverpool to the core.
In the opening 7 and [-] minutes, Manchester City used a beautiful pass and catch in the frontcourt to tear through Liverpool's defense. In the end, Ibrahimovic scored the goal and opened the scoring in this focus battle.
Immediately afterwards, No. 209 minutes, Manchester City took advantage of Liverpool's offensive mistakes to launch a counterattack.
Yang Mo received the ball in the frontcourt, forcibly broke into the penalty area and scored with a curved ball, extending the score to 2-0.
After Manchester City scored this time, Liverpool's desperate attack finally paid off.
No.307 minutes, Sturridge volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area.
Although the power of this shot is great, the quality is not high. The ball is too straight, and Joe Hart bent over and blocked the goal early.
But to everyone's surprise, Joe Hart, who has always been reliable, has committed the most common problem of England goalkeepers, the buttery hand.
After the football hit Joe Hart's glove, Joe Hart failed to grasp the ball in the first place, allowing the football to spin away and eventually rolled into the goal.
However, although Joe Hart's mistake allowed Liverpool to recover one point, it still could not change the result of the game.
After the first half ended with a score of 2-1, Liverpool, which was already behind, had no way to retreat and could only give it a go.
After entering the second half, Rodgers replaced offensive players consecutively, completely gave up defense and fought against Manchester City frantically.
In 51 minutes, Liverpool launched an attack and Gerrard shot from the left corner of the restricted area.
Facing Gerrard's shot, Joe Hart made a sideways save, but the football flew diagonally upward after being blocked, and almost made another mistake.
Fortunately, Kompany responded in a timely manner and succeeded in making a clearance with a barb in front of him.
Facing Liverpool's crazy attack in this game, Joe Hart's sudden strange downturn made Pellegrini frown on the sidelines.
Pellegrini glanced at sitting on the bench, had just moved to Manchester City, and almost couldn't help letting him play to replace Joe Hart.
But thinking that Joe Hart was the absolute contributor to Manchester City's double crown last season, he still pressed this idea down.
A downturn in a game doesn't mean anything.
And then, as the Manchester City striker continued to fire, Pellegrini quickly stopped thinking about Joe Hart.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Manchester City expanded the score again, this time it was Aguero who scored.
After Ibrahimovic's pass in the penalty area, Silva passed the ball sideways and knocked the ball back to Aguero. Aguero hit the ball hard to help Manchester City expand the score to 3-1.
So far, all three Manchester City strikers have scored.
But the score of 3-1 is not the final result of this game.
When the game time came to 79 minutes, Manchester City once again used Liverpool's offense to counterattack.
Yang Mo dribbled forward after receiving the ball in the frontcourt. When facing the attacking goalkeeper, he divided the ball to Aguero. Facing the empty goal, Aguero pushed and scored easily. Finally, the score was fixed at 4-1.
When the game was over, Liverpool's reckless confrontation with Manchester City caused the media to attack Liverpool coach Rodgers frantically.
And Liverpool's spiritual leader Steven Gerrard's interview answers added fuel to the fire.
"Someone shouldn't put their desires above Liverpool, such a person should not stay in Liverpool!"
Although Gerrard was referring to someone, the outside world knew who Gerrard was referring to.
Facing Manchester City with strikers like Yang Mo, Ibrahimovic and Aguero, it is necessary to formulate counter-attack tactics. Of course, only the head coach Rodgers is alone.
Gerrard publicly expressed his dissatisfaction, and the media joined in the fun, which immediately made the news of the strife in the Liverpool dressing room very loud.
Under such news, Manchester City's big victory and Yang Mo's 21 consecutive goals in [-] games lost a lot of enthusiasm for a while.
However, Manchester City, which has repeatedly raised the butcher's knife, has no time to care about Liverpool's affairs at this time.
After the end of the game with Liverpool, Manchester City chartered a direct flight to Tokyo, because the time for the Club World Cup is up.
As the champions of the Champions League, Manchester City can directly enter the semi-finals, so when they arrived in Tokyo, the first two knockout rounds were over.
Waiting for Manchester City in the semi-finals is the winner of the CONCACAF Champions Cup from Monterrey, Mexico.
The semi-final match started on the night of February 2th, and Manchester City basically needed to rush to the arena as soon as they left the airport.
But even in such a tired and exhausted situation, Manchester City still beat their opponents 4-0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
From the Premier League to the Club World Cup, it seems that Manchester City has not put down the butcher knife and continues their slaughter.
After a brief three-day rest in Tokyo, on the evening of February 2, the Club World Cup final kicked off.
The opponent waiting for Manchester City is the winner of the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian giants Corinthians.
But even the Brazilian giants could not escape Manchester City in the final.
After more than 90 minutes of the game, they rested for three days. Manchester City recharged their batteries and slaughtered Corinthians with five goals, making the Brazilian giants lose worse than Monterrey.
On the podium, Yang Mo, who scored a total of five goals in two games, deservedly won the honor of the best player of this Club World Cup.
When the music sounded, when Yang Mo and his teammates lifted the Club World Cup together, Manchester City won the first Club World Cup in club history.
And the photo of Yang Mo holding the cup was spread all over the world again the next day.
This championship also made Yang Mo's status in Manchester City more and more important.
But after winning the championship, Yang Mo and his teammates didn't have time to play and have fun in Tokyo, because there are more games waiting for them.
With the championship in hand and brandishing a butcher knife, Manchester City flew back to England.
I was wrong, I was guilty, I missed the Club World Cup in the compiled plan, Σ(°△°|||)︴Just assume that this Club World Cup will be held in February, and I must pay attention next time.
