Before the game against Liverpool, in distant China, the most important festival of the year, the Spring Festival, ushered in, but this traditional festival actually has little to do with Li Feng now, in Europe, Christmas is the biggest program, as for the Spring Festival, well, in fact, they don't know.

Manchester's Chinatown is very famous, but Li Feng didn't run to join in the fun, if Yun'er or someone else was around, Li Feng didn't mind running to join in the fun, but now that he was alone, it was too pitiful to go out.

After an ordinary Chinese New Year, the Manchester City team arrived at Liverpool as scheduled, and in the next week, Manchester City need to play two games in Liverpool, one is the League Cup, and the traditional giants of the English Premier League are Liverpool.

The other is the league, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City will visit Goodison Park to face Everton, another Liverpool team.

The last time he was at Anfield was a draw, but this time Van Basten was determined to win, although the suspension of Vincent Kompany at the back and the injury of Boateng made City's backline look unusually empty.

But at least Manchester City's midfield is in perfect condition, but no matter how perfect the midfield is, it can't withstand a fragile defensive line, which Li Feng has already experienced when Bayern Munich was there.

In the 29th minute, the away Manchester City opened the scoring, Li Feng held the ball in the middle to attract the defensive pass to Silva, who broke through the bottom line and passed back, Manchester City defender De Jong did not know when he had rushed to Liverpool outside the penalty area.

De Jong unleashed a stunning right-footed blow from Silva's pass to break the deadlock as City smashed into the corner.

It was also De Jong's first goal of the season, and even his second in the last five seasons, as well as his second for Manchester City, and arguably even more rare than the one from Lescott in the last game.

As a purely defensive midfielder in Manchester City's squad, De Jong is definitely one of the players with the fewest attacking opportunities in Manchester City, and it is often difficult to have a chance to hit the goal in a few games.

"Man~~~ I think you should have a treat," although De Jong's salary can only be ranked in the middle and lower classes in Manchester City, but he is an out-and-out rich man, no way, who calls people have a good head and will invest.

It's always nice to take the lead, so De Jong didn't say no, after all, scoring goals is really rare for him, let alone such a wonderful world wave.

City's joy didn't last long, though, as Liverpool equalised after ten minutes, and it was captain Steven Gerrard who scored for Liverpool, albeit from the penalty.

For this goal, Manchester City was quite helpless, and Savic's performance in the last game was really wrong, so Savic was not arranged to play in this game, but let Richards return to the middle.

The penalty was given by Richards, but it really had little to do with Richards, as the Liverpool vice-team slotted in from behind to shoot a long-range shot that ended up at Richards' feet and then bounced off his arm.

This is completely a handball, but the referee Dodd doesn't think so, and Richards is about to cry when he sees the referee's decision.

Van Basten even went directly to the fourth official, "Sir, this is not an active handball, this should not be awarded a penalty," facing the excited Van Basten, the fourth official could only be comforted.

However, all this is useless, no matter how aggrieved Chaz is, no matter how excited Van Basten is on the sidelines, no matter how Manchester City players find the referee to theorize.

Manchester City lost on penalties again, four games, four penalties, and all of a sudden, many people couldn't help but think about the question of whether there would be another red card in this game.

Gerrard was very calm and faced Joe Hart, Gerrard chose to push the ball to the right side of the goal, and Joe Hart's save went in the exact opposite direction of the ball's flying defence.

This is also the final score of the first half, it is worth mentioning that Liverpool was not ugly in the entire first half, and it has to be said that Gerrard's improvement in Liverpool's midfield is still quite obvious.

In the second half, Manchester City took the lead in making substitutions, Balotelli replaced Barry, Manchester City switched to a 442 formation, with Silva and Adam Johnson on both sides, Dzeko and Balotelli in the front, and Li Feng and De Jong in the middle.

The substitution quickly paid off, with Liverpool's defence disarrayed by Balotelli's disruption and Dzeko setting up City's second goal of the game.

Kolarov cut in from behind, and under Silva's cover, the Manchester City left-back went smoothly into the bottom line, which is also the usual combination of Manchester City's wings.

Kolarov's footwork was quite outstanding, and this pass found Dzeko in the penalty area with precision, and because Balotelli's appearance took away half of the defensive attention, Dzeko's stabbing shot appeared to be quite comfortable.

The score was rewritten again, but the English League Cup did not have an away goal advantage, so Manchester City was only tied by the big score, and Manchester City needed to extend the advantage if they wanted to successfully reach the final.

However, football is not a game that you can do as you want, and although City launched a stormy attack in the following period, they were always a little bit away from scoring.

And this point has become the most lethal point for Manchester City, because they were killed, this is really feng shui turns, the last game, they just beat Tottenham Hotspur, I didn't expect the next game to be their turn to be killed.

In the 87th minute of the game, Liverpool attacked, Gerrard took the ball, as the only world-class star in Liverpool's current squad, as long as Gerrard played, he was Liverpool's most dangerous player, no one would doubt this, and no one would take it lightly.

But I just don't know what Dalglish thinks, it can be seen from these two games that Gerrard's role in playing, but in the league, Dalglish just insists on not wanting to use Gerrard.

Gerrard's attack with the ball caught the attention of Li Feng and De Jong, and then the Reds crossed diagonally to the retreating Kuyt.

Kuyt didn't finish the turn, because he was still followed by Richards, pushing diagonally, Glen Johnson plugged in at high speed, and Downing went straight to the bottom to pull Zabaleta away.

Glen Johnson cut into the penalty area, Bellamy came to answer, and the best scene of the game was born, the two hit the wall in a series of small areas of the Manchester City penalty area, and even tore through the defense, and even crossed Joe Hart, and finally Bellamy pushed the empty goal to chase the score to 2:2.

In stoppage time, Manchester City fans once again set their eyes on Li Feng, but Li Feng is not a guy who wears underwear, nor is he an illegitimate child of God, no~~ It should be the illegitimate son of the Jade Emperor, although he got a system that is unique in the world, but he has no superpowers.

In the end, the game ended in a 2-2 draw, while Liverpool eliminated Manchester City with an aggregate score of 3-2 with a narrow win in the previous game and advanced to the League Cup.

Liverpool's final opponent was Cardiff City from the Championship, and it was almost like sending the trophy to Liverpool. (To be continued.) )
