Still at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City and Liverpool ushered in the second meeting in ten days, which is also the third competition of the season, the first two encounters, although Manchester City have been sent off, but they have a record of one draw and one win.

However, the game seemed to be a little different, as Liverpool launched a strong attack from the start of the game, and Gerrard, with the cooperation of his team-mates, rushed to the edge of the box and fired a long-range shot into the box, forcing Joe Hart to make the first save of the game.

City then counter-attacked, but were pressed by Liverpool and the ball was broken at the feet of Asurin, the La Masia talent did not grow up as expected, and the 20-year-old looked increasingly mediocre.

Glen Johnson crossed the halfway line and played a straight pass to Henderson, who sent in a low cross for Carroll to head over the top of the box over Kompany's header.

"Oh~~~ This is not the Liverpool we are familiar with, such a strong opening has been seen in Liverpool for a long time" Even the commentator couldn't help but cheer for Liverpool's performance.

Because in the first ten minutes of the game, Liverpool had the advantage, and even in the 11th minute, Liverpool broke the deadlock on the field and took a surprise lead.

Liverpool won a penalty and Downing sent the ball into the box and Kompany battled it with Agger to win the game, but Ague fell to the ground in pain.

Seeing this scene, the fans who watched the game couldn't help but sound the game seven days ago, but the last time Carroll was suspected of faking a fall, this time, Ag was really thrown by Kompany's big arm.

In the two jumps and scramble, Kompany was a head above Agger, and due to the height of the jump, Kompany's elbow was directly thrown into Agger's face, so this penalty Manchester City could not be said up and down.

However, the referee did not just award a penalty, there was also a red card, and two red cards were given to two Manchester City centre-backs in two cup games.

What's even more speechless is that the two teams have played three times, Manchester City is at a disadvantage in numbers, the first game Balotelli turned two yellows and one red because of his own comic behavior, and the second time De Jong misjudged two yellows and one red because of the rain, now it's okay, the third time directly to a red card.

And the two teams met three times and there were also three penalties, the last game both teams each won a penalty, but Liverpool did not score, Manchester City scored, and finally won 3:0 against Liverpool.

This time, Carroll was not fighting Gerrard, and the Red Army did not give up the penalty, although Joe Hart performed as well as ever, and even judged the right direction, but still could not prevent Gerrard from opening the scoring for Liverpool, who led 1-0 on the road.

Liverpool fans were excited, taking the lead for the first time in three encounters, and the sideline bench was also excited, and while taking the lead, Manchester City were also sent off to turn from a disadvantage into an advantage.

But the ease on Dalglish's face was only fleeting, and the last game was still fresh in her mind, and it seemed that she really needed this victory, a title to boost the team's morale and save her reputation at Liverpool.

Even in order to perform better in the second half of the season, Dalglish pulled down his cheeks and asked Liverpool for transfer funds, but the poor jingle Liverpool finally paid 10 million.

This incident was also reported by the media, but Dalglish's eyes were questioned again, and he actually fell in love with Darren Bent and Defoe.

To put it mildly, the value of these two is the English household register, and their ability is completely insufficient to gain a foothold in the giants, but this is in line with Dalglish's selection criteria, Downing, Henderson, Carroll, Dalglish seems to have been pursuing localization.

After Kompany left, Van Basten made a substitution for the game, Boateng replaced Azurin to make up for the lack of defence, and Manchester City changed the formation to 441 and switched to defensive counter-attacking tactics.

Liverpool, on the other hand, were a bit of a push, once around Manchester City, but were never able to extend their lead, and Joe Hart was once again an insurmountable hurdle for Liverpool.

It seems that against Liverpool, Joe Hart has always had a very good performance, and this time is no exception, officially Joe Hart's high and low block, allowing Liverpool to attack many times in vain.

Even in the 35th minute, City almost equalised with a counter-attack, and in the end Balotelli's shot was saved by Reina, but Liverpool still paid the price, midfielder Spearing sprained when he turned back after being broken by Li Feng, and Liverpool also used up a substitution.

However, this substitution made Liverpool's attack even stronger, because it was Charlie Adam, Spearing had little attacking ability, but Charlie Adam was different, he was the core of Liverpool's midfield this season, and most of Liverpool's attack was launched from his feet.

This season, Manchester City is the first time to play so badly, as far as the first half is concerned, Manchester City's possession rate is not forty percent, you know, since Li Feng joined, Manchester City has never been less than fifty percent in terms of ball control, and even more than 90 percent of the game, the ball possession rate has reached at least 60 percent.

And Manchester City is not the kind of team that Barcelona pursues possession for the sake of possession, only asking for it at the feet of Manchester City, Li Feng always converts them into waves of attack.

Before half-time, City had one more chance to equalise and a counter-attack, when Balotelli was brought down by Agger after receiving a pass from Li Feng, and City were awarded a well-placed free-kick.

Li Feng's free kick does not need to be said, in addition to Li Feng, there is also Kolarov, the last time against Manchester United, Kolarov used a free kick to help Manchester City recover a goal, and even Balotelli has a good free kick skills.

Li Feng walked towards the ball as usual, but Balotelli's movements were one step faster than Li Feng, and then he turned to Li Feng with the ball and said: "I created this free kick, so I want to let me take the penalty myself." ”

"Then you have to ask" Li Feng shook his head and motioned for Balotelli to ask Van Basten on the sidelines.

"It's a matter between us, no matter what the head is, and, do you dare to bet with me, if I score the whole goal, then the free kicks I create myself will be punished by myself, if I don't score, then I won't be strong free kicks with you in the future" Balotelli didn't go to see Van Basten, he is not a fool, he knows very well the position of Li Feng in the team, in Van Basten's heart.
