Chapter 202: Unshakable! [First update]

Guardiola was extremely angry about conceding the goal.

But he soon noticed Yangguang's actions.

You are playing away from home, and now after scoring a goal to equalize the score, are you still not satisfied?
Prior to this, Guardiola had heard what the English media were saying about Liverpool's chances of winning the title.

He didn't pay much attention.

Last season was Guardiola's first season in charge of Manchester City.

He took a lot of detours.

The environment of this league is indeed different from other leagues.

Here, the margin for error is lower.

Perhaps in the Premier League, there are no more teams that can compete for the league title every season than in La Liga - La Liga used to be a two-man show, but now it's a three-way competition.

In the Premier League, there are actually only two or three teams competing for the championship every season.

But
There are too many troublemakers in this league.

Giants like Manchester United and Liverpool have not had the possibility of competing for the league title for a long time, but it is enough for them to play the role of spoilers in the championship race in the past few seasons.

Any team that wants to compete for the championship cannot guarantee a win against Manchester United or Liverpool away from home.

Such a team
There are also Arsenal and Tottenham in the Premier League.

Even teams like Everton are actually quite strong. They are a team that can spend nearly 100 million pounds on signings every season.

This is really crazy.

In La Liga.

Only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid dare to spend so much money.

The confidence that allows Premier League teams to spend money comes from the Premier League's broadcasting rights distribution system, which is almost the same as the average distribution.

In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona took 70% of La Liga's broadcasting revenue.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Ba took away 70%.

The rest of the hard work will be divided into 30%.

what?
Why is it only 30%?
That’s all. Let Mr. Huang reward you.

But in the Premier League, it's basically a communal affair.

Even teams in the relegation zone of the league table can receive nearly 100 million pounds in broadcasting revenue after the end of the season.

In contrast, the lower-level teams in La Liga even have to raise funds through global crowdfunding to get the deposit to participate in the league.

Although the Premier League has a gap with La Liga in terms of the strength of its top teams.

But the mid- and lower-level Premier League teams basically dare to spend 20 to 30 million pounds to buy a core player in the frontcourt, and it is common for them to spend 50 to 60 million to buy players every season.

This means that the gap in strength between Premier League teams is smaller.

That's fine.

Because of the huge benefits of staying in the Premier League.

That's it.
In every Premier League game, your opponents will fight you without reservation.

There is absolutely no situation where a team does not want to stay in the top league in order to cut costs.
There are many spoilers, the mid and lower reaches are strong and they are unreserved when facing strong teams.

This has led to a fierce competitive environment in the Premier League.

If, before this, Guardiola still regarded Liverpool as a spoiler.

So now
He has accepted the fact that Liverpool will be a strong rival for Manchester City in the title race this season.

He took a deep breath.

Called De Bruyne to the side.

"It's the last few minutes, don't hold back, push forward and crush them!"

Guardiola said through gritted teeth.

Liverpool will not accept a draw.

Manchester City is even less likely to accept it.

Compared to Liverpool.

Manchester City needs a victory even more!
"We have a true champion in our hands."

Klopp turned and said to his assistant Kravitz.

Kravitz nodded in agreement.

In theory, the current draw is in Liverpool's favor.

If it were an ordinary team, they might be satisfied with this outcome.

But as a championship team.

We can’t just be satisfied with a draw!

“Tell the players not to relax, in the last ten minutes, press them and crush them!”

Klopp said, putting his arm around Milner and Joe Gomez’s shoulders.

The final moments of the game.

He wants to replace two new recruits.

Keep up the intensity of the game!
The two full-backs, Arnold and Moreno, who were somewhat exhausted, were replaced.

Milner and Joe Gomez played as left and right full-backs.

A panacea like Milner is so useful.

He can play as left or right winger, left or right fullback, and defensive midfielder.
Move wherever needed.

After the game restarts.

Manchester City took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and quickly launched an attack.

"De Bruyne got the ball on the wing and made a 45-degree cross! Jesus!! Oh oh oh oh! He made a quick shot at the back post and hit the side net!"

Accompanied by the commentator's exclamation in the commentary booth, in the stands of the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City fans cheered.

Only after realizing that the ball hit the side net did he let out a sigh of regret.

Many Liverpool fans were frightened and turned pale.

Guardiola on the sidelines almost fell to his knees.

He put his hands in front of his face with an expression of disbelief.

Klopp on the other side leaned back and let out a hissing sound while gritting his teeth.

There were mixed reactions from the benches on both sides.

Manchester City's substitutes almost rushed out to celebrate.

Many of Liverpool's substitute players were so scared that they almost fell off their benches.
"Manchester City's attack is very threatening, Liverpool players must be careful!"

Zhang Jun's face was solemn.

Comments section;
"Okay, now Zhang Jun doesn't even want to pretend anymore?"

"Where is the neutrality you promised?"

"Don't look if you don't like it!"

“Even if you’re not a Liverpool fan, what’s wrong with supporting Sunshine?”

"Liverpool are lucky"

"There are still a few minutes left, I think there will be another goal"

The fans can feel it.

This proves that both sides are now truly unreserved on the offensive end.

Jesus rushed to the back post and kicked the ball into the side net.

Before Manchester City players had fully returned to their positions.

Karius kicked the ball out.

The ball was kicked to the front court.

Sunshine chested the ball and passed it back to Henderson, who made a long pass.

Mane got the ball on the wing and made a direct cross.

It turned out that after passing the ball back to Henderson, Sunshine also moved forward at high speed.

When Mane passed the ball, he hadn't yet run into the penalty area.

But just as the football was flying.

Yangguang has stepped into the penalty area, adjusted his pace, and jumped!
Manchester City's defenders didn't expect Yang Guang to jump directly from such a long distance.

Before they could react.

Yang Guang had already met the ball in the air near the penalty spot, followed by a header as overwhelming as a mountain.

"Sunlight!!"

There was a cry of surprise at the Etihad Stadium.

crucial moment.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson flew to save the ball. He raised his arm and blocked the ball. The ball hit his wrist, flew up, hit the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area.

Stones hurriedly protected the ball, allowing Ederson to hold the ball in his arms when he landed.

"Crossbar!!! Manchester City escaped!"

Commentator Chloe exclaimed.

Both sides pose a great offensive threat.

After Sunshine's header hit the crossbar.

The Manchester City players didn't have time to calm down before passing the ball to the front court again.

Ninety minutes into the game.

The fourth official on the sidelines held up the display.

"This game will be suspended for 4 minutes!"

Chloe took a deep breath.

Just now.

Manchester City full-back Walker got the ball on the wing and made a cross.

The ball was caught directly by Karius.

Then Karius kicked the ball out with a big foot. The football flew straight to the front field.

Sunshine took a look.

I realized that I couldn't control the ball with my head.

Turn around and run towards the landing point.

Stones also chased after him.

When he ran to the landing point, he faced the ball behind him, picked it up, stretched out his right foot, and hooked the ball back.

"Oh! World class stop!"

"Sunshine got the ball! The other Liverpool players quickly followed up in the backcourt."

"Counterattack! Liverpool's counterattack is coming!"

Just when people thought Yang Guang would protect the ball and wait for support from his teammates.

The sun fell to the ground and then moved the ball forward.

He continues to break through!
Sunshine observed Manchester City's defense when he stopped the ball.

Manchester City was in an offensive state before, with most of the players participating in the attack in the frontcourt, but now their defense is extremely empty.

Not sudden at this time.

When will you stay?

Stones' original position was reasonable.

He was stuck in the inside, ready to limit Yangguang's attempt to move inside at any time. At the same time, he stood in the most dangerous position, waiting for his teammates to come up for support and work together to steal the ball from Yangguang's feet.

But he didn't expect it either.

The football hasn't hit the ground yet.

Yangguang just took the ball forward.

This change in rhythm shook Stones.

As a result, he was immediately left half a body length behind by the sunlight.

Stones felt relieved.

fortunately.

It was not Mane or Salah who got the ball in this position.

Otherwise, with this breakthrough, if I want to catch up, I will probably just be left behind.

The sun is not that fast.
He can still catch up.

So Stones immediately chased after him.

Just as he expected.

The sun is definitely not fast.

With such a large weight, the starting speed is even slower.

He turned around and chased after him, sticking close to Yangguang, constantly bumping into him and interfering with his possession of the ball. Now that Yangguang hadn't gone in yet, he was not in a hurry at all when doing these little moves.

He bumped into him and found that he didn't move at all.

Stones felt that he didn't use enough strength.

Stones had studied Suns before and knew that he was a striker who would not fall to the ground easily to commit a foul.

So he took a deep breath and rushed forward with all his strength.

Although if he did knock down Sunshine, it would be a foul.

But Stones no longer cares about that.

Yangguang, who was carrying the ball, felt the impact from behind him at the very beginning.

But he didn't take it seriously.

But keep moving forward.

His entire focus is on football.

"Oh, God"

Sky Sports commentator Kolo exclaimed.

in front of the TV.

Many fans also gasped.

They saw Stones's second run.

This is a complete foul action of throwing your body out.

Many Liverpool fans in front of the TV were nervous.

Now both sides are starting at full speed, and at high speed
Such a collision is very likely to cause injury to the players.

But the next moment.

Everyone was stunned.

Because they saw Stones rushing forward with all his strength.

But the sunlight just stumbled forward.

After two steps, he managed to stabilize his body balance.

Instead, Stones fell to the ground and rolled over for a few times.

In the stands.

Manchester City fans shouted a foul - Stones hit someone from the side and back and ended up falling down. If this isn't a foul, what is?
But the referee made no comment.

Yangguang didn't even bump into anyone on his own initiative, he didn't even raise his arms.

How could this be a foul?

"Stones fell to the ground. He tried to knock over Sunshine, but ended up falling to the ground himself!"

Courtside.

Guardiola is already having a headache defending Liverpool's set-piece attacks.

However, he does not think Stones's foul choice was wrong.

Let Sunshine enter the penalty area and let Liverpool get a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

Which one is more important and which one is less important?

Guardiola can still tell the difference.

But when he saw Stones hit Sunshine, he fell to the ground instead, while Sunshine just staggered twice.
Guardiola's mouth dropped open.

My scalp was tingling with fear.

He was also a top defensive midfielder when he was playing football.

He knew very well how powerful the impact would be in such a scenario.

结果
Even this couldn't stop him!
What material is this thing made of?
The sunlight was knocked forward.

Although he staggered.

But the force of Stones' impact was also forward, so his speed did not decrease. He stabilized his body again, caught up with the football, took a pass, and then rushed into the penalty area!

Goalkeeper Ederson and center back Otamendi both rushed towards him.

Before this, Otamendi wanted to raise his hand to complain about Sunshine's foul, but when he saw Sunshine had already entered the penalty area, he didn't care about anything else.

He rushed over quickly.

Ederson was still wondering how the Suns would handle the ball.

He would cut to the middle from time to time to get a wider shooting angle.

Or simply choose to pass the goalkeeper.

Or a lob shot?
But before he could react.

Sunshine has made its own treatment.

He swung his right foot directly.

Ederson thought it was a fake.

But the next moment.
boom!
A huge sound exploded in his ears.

Before Ederson could react.

The football flew past his ears with a whizzing sound.

Followed by.

He heard a huge exclamation.

Edson leaned back.

It was as if I was knocked to the ground by the ball.

He tilted his head back and saw the football entering the goal - the football brushed against the bottom edge of the crossbar, changed direction slightly and hit the net.

Behind the mesh of the net.

Can vaguely see
Manchester City fans held their heads in their hands, looking terrified.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

In this huge roar.

The sunlight rushed past Edson who was lying on the ground.

Ederson looked at the huge back of Liverpool's No. 9 player, which was like a mountain.

He opened his arms and clenched his fists.

Roaring at the Manchester City fans who seemed to be terrified
'It's terrible.'

Edson stared at the scene with his mouth open.

he thought.

Otamendi fell to his knees.

By his side.
