With three days to go, Liverpool spoke about the highly-anticipated game in their regular midweek press conference.

Gilliverpool's manager at the time, Dalglish, said: "I heard about Mark Hughes...... To be honest, I have a lot of sympathy for Hughes, because whoever sits in that position is going to be very difficult. Manchester City spent so much money, of course, they will demand that they do everything they can to produce results, but the laws of football cannot make a team rebuild so quickly......"

Although in the player era, the two played for a pair of old enemies.

But Dalglish chose to speak for Mark Hughes anyway, which showed his gentlemanly demeanor.

However, he changed his words: "But I will not show mercy in this game. Liverpool will give their all to beat Manchester City away from home and our goal this season is to fight for the title! ”

Spanish boss Rafa Benitez left Liverpool in the summer – in effect after being swept away by Liverpool before his contract expired.

The reason for his dismissal was because of irreconcilable conflicts with the club's hierarchy.

This contradiction has been in place since his first year in the team, and as a result, he lost the Champions League.

In the years that followed, he led the team to decent results, at least reaching the Champions League every year.

But the Liverpool hierarchy, who has already seen the scenery on the top of the mountain, has much higher requirements for him, and is no longer satisfied with just reaching the Champions League every year.

The night in Istanbul in 2005 was like a nail in the heart of every Liverpudlian, who for so many years was looking to be able to return to the Champions League final and win the title. It would be even better if AC Milan could be beaten in the final.

The 2006-2007 season was a good opportunity to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

However, they were knocked out of the quarter-finals by Bayern Munich.

And you know, that year's final was between Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

If Liverpool had been able to knock out Bayern Munich, they might have met AC Milan in the final, which would have been a perfect revenge......

But Rafael Benitez's side lost another crucial game.

Since then, the conflict between the club's hierarchy and Benitez has become more and more intense, revolving around the construction of the team, the recruitment and the expectation of results.

Eventually, the feud between the two sides came to a fever pitch and Rafa Benitez left Liverpool at the end of last season.

Liverpool have brought in club legend Kenny Dalglish to succeed Rafael Benitez.

Dalglish has re-instilled the "KOP spirit" in Liverpool since he arrived in the team. As a legend of the team, he was also able to play in the dressing room, and combined with the excellent form of the players, Liverpool played quite well at the start of the season.

It also led the Liverpool hierarchy to believe that they were right to give up on Benitez in the first place.

Dalglish is Liverpool's real man!

Benitez, who was dismissed by Liverpool, although there were many rumors at that time, such as Juventus and Real Madrid were interested in him, and even Manchester City had approached him, he ended up at home.

The explanation he gave was that he wanted to be able to take a good rest and recharge his batteries.

Despite being on their home turf, not many people believe that Manchester City can beat a team like Liverpool at home.

The bookmaker is said to have stopped accepting bets on Mark Hughes to leave after this game - as it is obvious that the bookmaker's monitoring shows that there is already a significant amount of money bets that Mark Hughes will leave after this game......

If you don't close the bets, the bookmaker will have to suffer a loss......

“…… Is there any clarity in Mark Hughes's tactics? Yes, that is, the ball in the front court is given to Rong, the ball in the back court is given to Rong, the ball is given to Rong, the ball is given to Rong, the ball is won by Rong, and the ball is given to Rong...... After Rong won the ball himself, the others went into theater mode...... "On television, a guest commentator sharply criticized Mark Hughes's incompetence.

"Manchester City spent close to £200 million on players this summer, is it just to find 10 men to form a starting line-up with Wing?" The guest went on to mock Mark Hughes and Manchester City FC. "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Fasim. I accidentally revealed the idea of building your club! ”

"We conducted a random survey on the streets of Manchester and 77 per cent of the Manchester City fans we surveyed thought they shouldn't rely on Young, who was great but needed a good helper...... You see, even the average fan knows more about the ball than Mark Hughes! ”

The host and the audience burst into laughter.

When the high-profile match began, Mark Hughes sat quietly in his place, not standing on the sidelines directing the game, his expression calm as the death row prisoner waiting to be executed.

On the pitch, Manchester City, who are playing at home, are the underdogs, and everyone is not surprised because they have been like this in previous games.

Manchester City's attack is a complete mess, there is no system, even the most ordinary fan can see that Manchester City's attack is not organized.

The three men, Glory, Berbatov and Robinho, were isolated and did not establish effective contacts.

The commentators are too lazy to complain about this, everyone has complained too many times in the past games.

Mark Hughes wasn't quite able to solve this problem, and the connection between the three of them was very fragile and simple.

"If I were Fassim, I wouldn't have waited until the end of this game, I would have fired Mark Hughes before the game......"

Alan Hansen said.

Alan Hansen and Mark Hughes have faced each other on the pitch many times during their careers. Alan Hansen is Liverpool's centre-back, while Mark Hughes is Manchester United's striker.

The two of them must be indispensable for all kinds of confrontations.

Now that rivalry extends to the coach's box and the commentary box......

It's just that it has become a one-sided mockery of Alan Hansen against Mark Hughes.

Maybe when everyone thought he would become the future manager of Liverpool, he chose to take the path of a commentator, just to avoid being complained about like this?

Kenny Dalglish stood on the sidelines, his hands in his pockets, his body straight, and he looked very chic and calm from his back.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Liverpool were already leading by one goal on the road.

Dalglish delivered on his pre-match promise – he didn't let the water go, he gave it his all.

Liverpool have a strong anti-away posture on the road, making Manchester City play very wolf.

The City fans in the stands were also a little silent – they were quite active at the start of the game, but when Liverpool scored in the 18th minute, the stands at the Manchester City Stadium were much quieter.

City's attack is still like a headless fly, scurrying around, and with a bit of luck they can threaten Liverpool's goal, if they're unlucky......

However, it is the glory that can threaten the Liverpool goal the most.

Commentator Mortenson is full of praise for Glory: "Even if he is alone, he can still surprise us." Manchester City's overall performance is sluggish, but Rong is definitely the best one, and he is worthy of the price that Manchester City FC has offered him...... Truly worthy of the former World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or! ”

"But what's the use of that? He can't bring victory to the team alone...... Actually, I think it's good to let Mark Hughes go after this game, maybe it's a good thing for Manchester City......" Alan Hansen didn't miss every opportunity to complain about Mark Hughes.

Glory completed a long-range shot, which allowed Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna to get rid of his hand when he saved, but fortunately Reina's reaction was fast enough, and Liverpool centre-back Skrtel protected it in time, allowing Reyna to immediately hold the ball again.

When Rongguang saw this scene, he frowned, a little unwilling.

But what if you are not reconciled?

"Look at this ball, Young's long-range shot is very powerful and fast, causing Reina's escape. If Berbatov had been able to run two more steps, or run a little earlier, maybe he would have had a chance to score with this kick...... But alas, he didn't run...... Looking at this slow motion, when Rong shoots, Berbatov is here, when Reina gets out, he is still in place, and when Reina holds the football for the second time, he doesn't move at all...... Gee. Alan Hansen shook his head.

However, Rongguang did not complain about his teammates' lack of help, he turned and ran back.

He already knows a little bit about this.

The media has said more than once that it is not his responsibility to win or lose, but Glory's thinking is very simple - since he is the team's top star and receives the highest salary in the team, then he should be responsible for the team's victories and defeats. This is his responsibility, and it is also the price of getting a high salary.

Even if he is alone, even if it is unrealistic, he wants to carry the team forward.

What he said must be fulfilled!

He said that if he wants Manchester City to become a giant, then he must do it!

So he doesn't care how his teammates behave, as long as he shows himself well, he is very strict with himself.

At least in this game, when the whole world is not optimistic about Manchester City, Glory is going to help the team win this game - not to save Mark Hughes's position, but to prove it to Kaka.

You say I can't do it alone?

Then I'll show you ......

You are wrong!

Caroline hears the sound of a ball game and comes downstairs to find Kaka sitting on the couch in the living room, looking intently at the TV screen.

She cast her eyes on the TV screen and found it to be a Premier League game.

She wasn't much surprised. Since Glory left for Manchester City, Kaka has seen a significant increase in the number of Premier League games.

"Manchester City are behind." Caroline glanced at the screen, then sat down next to Kaka. "What about Rong's table?"

"That idiot, he thought he could dominate the game himself!" Kaka snorted.

When Caroline knew Kaka before, she had never had it. The current Kaka is also a gentleman, but on the issue of glory, he will become a different person, and Caroline has been used to it for so many years.

She sat beside her husband, stopped talking, and silently watched the glorious game with him.
