Chapter 526: Penalty

Liverpool finally got up for a while, and after Li Feng finished hitting the goal, the Liverpool King rushed out of the dugout and stood on the sidelines in the heavy rain, and Dalglish expressed his dissatisfaction in this way.

The effect was still quite obvious, and Liverpool's attack was quite frantic next, ushering in the craziest ten minutes since the opening.

In the 61st minute, Gerrard was intercepted by Li Feng after crossing the half, Downing moved horizontally to respond, and the two collided with the wall and cooperated to pass directly to Carol after crossing Li Feng.

The Liverpool centre-forward was unable to turn under Kompany's defence and passed back to Bellamy from outside the box, who fired wide from distance.

Two minutes later, Liverpool made a comeback, this time by Carroll himself, but Carroll still did nothing in Kompany's defense, and Carroll was annoyed and angry when he lost to Kompany again in the aerial duel.

The two strong men almost staged a real PK, and Carol flicked his arm when he fell on him, and when it came to Kompany, the Manchester City captain naturally couldn't swallow his anger and dragged Carroll over.

Fortunately, the referee found it in time and quickly rushed over to separate the two, otherwise the collective brawl in the Premier League this season might have happened at the Etihad Stadium, and one person was given a yellow card as a warning.

The game restarted, the ball was still at Liverpool's feet, Henderson broke along the wing, was intercepted by Clichy, Bellamy's pull was answered, Gerrard cut in the middle, Bellamy quickly crossed, and the Red Army soul blasted a rather beautiful long-range shot.

It's just that Joe Hart doesn't want to be Gerrard's background board, although the relationship between the two in the national team is good, I saw the Manchester City goalkeeper fly up, lift the ball out of the frame with both hands, and Boateng cleared the ball with one kick and gave Liverpool a corner.

The clash between the two teams is the second time, but this time it is not as serious as Carroll and Kompany, and the other rivals of the game, Dzeko and Skrtel.

Liverpool's corner kick, Dzeko returned to the penalty area, and the two faced each other again, but at this moment the two were in opposition to each other, Dzeko was entangled with Skrtel, and Skrtel wanted to fight to get rid of Dzeko.

But Dzeko wanted to be like a dog skin plaster, looking at Dzeko's posture, he must have been very uncomfortable defended by Skrtel before, so he defended Skrtel this time.

"If you want to go back and rest early, I can fulfill you" Referee Jones looked at the two with a blank face, and it was no wonder that Jones spoke sternly.

However, it was Carroll who really sang the protagonist of this corner, Downing took a corner kick, Carroll and Kompany competed, but after the two jumped together, only Carroll screamed, and then the whole person fell, although the ball was cleared by Kompany, but the referee also whistled.

"Shh~~~" Seeing the referee's action, the Etihad Stadium immediately booed, because the referee at this moment pointed to the penalty spot.

"This~~~This~~~ The penalty is to be discussed" The commentator is obviously also a little unsure of this penalty, although Kompany reached out and pushed Carroll when he jumped just now, but how to look at Carol should not be exaggerated.

"Sir, I didn't push him, it's definitely not a penalty," Kompany immediately explained to the referee, but it was clear that there would be no change in the referee's decision.

Gerrard was about to go to the penalty spot, but there was a figure who moved faster than Gerrard, the red nine, who was the one who created the penalty.

Seeing this situation, Gerrard turned his head to look at Dalglish who was still standing on the sidelines at the moment, although he had no expectations, but at this moment, Gerrard still pinned his hopes on the former Liverpool king, but Gerrard was destined to be disappointed, and after getting Dalglish's instructions, Gerrard withdrew from the penalty area and stood at the top of the arc.

In the penalty area, Carroll had already put the ball at the penalty spot, and at the Manchester City goal, Joe Hart kept twisting his body, and the players on both sides were ready, and they could only give the referee a whistle.

"Beep~~~" As soon as the whistle sounded, there was no run, Carroll took a step forward with his right foot, and the instep of his left foot directly abstracted the ball, and the ball went straight to the Manchester City goal.

"Joe Hart ~~~ Joe Hart ~~~ Joe Hart, meritorious service, Carroll's penalty did not score, Joe Hart judged very correctly, fell to the ground and pressed the ball directly under him."

"Oooh~~~" The Etihad Stadium was in cheers, the striker delighted the fans with his goals, the goalkeeper delighted the fans with his saves, and there was no doubt that at this moment, Joe Hart was the only focus on the field.

Unlike Joe Hart, who became a hero, Carroll has completely become Liverpool's bear, although this penalty was created by him, but the person who originally took the penalty should have been Gerrard, not Carroll.

At this moment, the Liverpool fans who came to the Etihad Stadium were furious, and they expressed their displeasure with boos, while Dalglish on the sidelines also regretted it.

Time will not come back, there is no regret medicine in the world, and at this moment, the boos that happened from Liverpool fans sounded to Dalglish, even though he was made the king of Liverpool.

Dalglish also knew that when he was the king and could not bring victory to the team, he would be abandoned by his own subjects, and this is football, which is warm and touching, but at the same time cruel reality.

If this penalty had been scored, the situation on the pitch would have been completely different, and it is a pity that there is no if in this world, or Dalglish himself killed this if, at the moment when Carroll was chosen over Gerrard.

Even Liverpool's loss was much more than that, and in the next game, the fragile Carroll completely lost confidence and behaved like sleepwalking.

After losing Carroll as the fulcrum of the front, Liverpool's attacking threat was greatly reduced, and Manchester City took advantage of the momentum to launch a wave of counter-attacks, but Manchester City was not lucky, and instead of scoring goals, Van Basten had to make adjustments.

Due to the slippery pitch, Sergio Aguero changed direction and lay back on the turf after breaking through the ball, with Dzeko's shot from the middle not threatening at all.

Manchester City's team doctor rushed into the pitch as soon as he received permission from the referee, and although the sprain was not serious, the team doctor advised Van Basten to replace Sergio Aguero for safety reasons.

Van Basten himself was ruined by injuries, so in this regard, Van Basten paid more attention than anyone else, and after getting the advice of the team doctor, Van Basten replaced Aguero with Minard for the first time.

Seeing Aguero being helped off the pitch by the team doctor, the fans in the stands were immediately worried, after all, the situation of Manchester City's forward line is not optimistic, but the fans did not forget to give applause to the injured Aguero, after all, Aguero wanted to perform well in this game.
