The 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in the first round of the league is not good news for Manchester City, especially in the reports of those wall-grass media, as if City's collapse is imminent.

It makes sense for the media to say that, because Manchester City's next opponent is Liverpool.

As a traditional powerhouse in England, although Liverpool's performance last season was not very good, in the eyes of everyone, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Liverpool is still a difficult opponent.

Moreover, in the first round of the league, Liverpool lost 0:1 away to Aston Villa, and their fighting spirit in the second round will definitely be stronger than in the first round, and they will definitely want to beat Manchester City.

In such a situation, if Manchester City still looks like they lack motivation, even if they are at their home stadium, there is a high possibility that they will be dragged down by Liverpool.

After being criticized by Benitez, Glory trained harder than ever. Everyone could see that around his body, there was a raging flame, which was the result of the materialization of his fighting spirit......

It was also at this time that the rest of City's players first learned about Glory's determination to surpass Arsenal's record......

I used to know that there was such a war between Glory and the media.

But everyone thinks that it is just Rongguang fighting with the media, and after a while, everyone will naturally forget about it, and it is not impossible for Rongguang to really surpass Arsenal's record.

That's a record of 49 league games unbeaten!

If Glory is to overtake Arsenal, it means he will have to go 50 consecutive league games unbeaten.

But how is this possible?

And Glory never mentioned it in front of them, which means that Glory must not care about this matter.

But......

Unexpectedly, in his heart, he never forgot this matter!

He really ...... Want to challenge Arsenal's record of 49 league games unbeaten!

He's serious!

He's obviously ready, and even if the rest of his teammates don't give up, he's going to keep it done.

The day before the game against Liverpool, after City's last training session before the game, all but the glory of the players returned to the dressing room to take a shower and change clothes.

At this time, the third captain of the team, Sun Hai, suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Hey, everyone, I have something to say to you."

Seeing that the Chinese player, who was always smiling but silent in the locker room, suddenly took the initiative, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him a little strangely.

"Rong's recent training status, I think you've all seen it, right?" Sun Hai said straight to the point. "I think everyone knows why he trains so hard. It's not just because we didn't win the last game, it's because he has a big goal in mind. From what I know about her, I don't think he'll stop until he accomplishes that goal. ”

Sun Hai looked around and continued: "When Rong had this idea at the beginning, I discussed it with him, whether to tell everyone about it, after all, the undefeated league is not his own business, and the victory of the team is not something he can say alone. But Wing didn't let me do that, because Wing didn't want to put too much pressure on you, and he said that challenging Arsenal was his own idea and you shouldn't be burdened with pressure that didn't belong to you. So until now, he hasn't told you enough, he's just working on this goal by himself. Now I beg of you. ”

Speaking of which, Sun Hai looked around at his teammates again, this time pausing longer, his gaze resting on everyone's faces, looking at their expressions, their eyes.

After reading everyone through, he spoke again: "I ask everyone to do Rong a favor." He was the one who helped us a lot of the time, he never shirked when we needed help, he had put too much pressure on himself that didn't belong to him, and now he needs our help. We are one and the honour of being unbeaten in the league belongs to the team, so the responsibility and pressure should belong to each and every one of us. I know it's going to put a lot of pressure on everyone, but we're professionals and it's supposed to be part of our job to carry and face pressure, right? ”

Sun Hai spread his hands and said, looking at everyone.

"Of course, this is all my personal request, but it is my request, and the final decision is still in your hands. That's all I said. ”

After speaking, Sun Hai sat back and began to silently pack his backpack and prepare to leave.

A group of people looked at each other, and there was no sound in the locker room for a long time.

He didn't hear a response from his teammates until Sun Hai left the locker room, but he felt that there was only so much he could do. That's all he can help with glory, and he can't help with anything else.

Unbeaten in the league, there is only so much he can do as a substitute. If he is the main force and he is also an important member of the team, he may not come to ask everyone at all, so he will work silently with Rongguang.

※※※

Ibrahimovic listened to Sun Hai's words in silence in the locker room, and he realized that he really didn't know enough about Glory before......

He thought he knew the opponent well, but after arriving at Manchester City, he refreshed his knowledge of glory almost every day.

This kid...... He even wanted to carry the whole team on his shoulders, and then go alone to challenge the great record set by a whole team!

It's ...... Crazy than me!

Ibrahimovic snorted through his nose, then got up and walked to the bathroom.

※※※

Glory didn't know what was going on in the locker room while he was training.

When he returned to the locker room, it was empty as usual. He showered alone in the shower, changed his clothes by himself, and then closed the door and left here, ending another day of training.

In his opinion, the record of 50 league games unbeaten is actually very simple, it is nothing more than dividing these 50 games into 50 steps.

If you want to complete the record, you just need to take every step and win every game.

The next game is against Liverpool, so try your best to play against Liverpool and win them.

In this way, the progress of the mission is nineteen out of fifty completed, and there are only twenty-one left.

In this way, this record is not so unattainable and unattainable.

The away game against Manchester City was also crucial for Liverpool.

Liverpool's current head coach Dalglish is under intense pressure after a surprise defeat to Aston Villa in the first game.

Although Liverpool FC claim they are on Dalglish's side, that does not ease the pressure on Dalglish.

His pressure comes from what he demands of himself.

As a Liverpool legend, he can't afford to let himself go out of his way.

In this game, Liverpool must beat Manchester City to get the team back on track.

Manchester City have been in poor form lately and this is an opportunity for him.

Liverpool were perhaps the best team in the Premier League against Manchester City last season – they lost at home but drew away to earn a point.

As for the other teams, whether it is Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea, they have lost both of their league meetings with Manchester City.

Looking at it this way, it is not a spoof to say that Liverpool are the team with the best results.

※※※

The next day, the game came as scheduled.

The Manchester City and Liverpool match is the final match of the second round of the league. All the games were played before that. Arsenal thrashed Blackpool 6-0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur beat Stoke City 2-1 away at Manchester City last time out, Chelsea also beat Wigan Athletic 6-0 and Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw away by Fulham.

After two league games, Chelsea were the only team to have won both rounds. In the first round of the league, they beat West Bromwich Albion 6-0 at home.

Two games, two 6:0, twelve goals scored in two games, yet no goals conceded.

This is in stark contrast to their League Cup counterpart, which is in stark contrast to Manchester City, who have excelled in the Community Shield and have been in a slump in the league.

This situation can't help but remind people of the so-called curse of the Community Shield in the past, is this curse coming back recently?

With the rest of the second round all over the place, all eyes are now on Manchester City and Liverpool.

Will defending champions Manchester City's form improve, or will it get worse?

And whether Dalglish can reverse the decline that Liverpool are facing.

Let football reveal the answer.

※※※

Before this game, everyone thought that glory would be the protagonist as always, and he would be the one who decided the outcome of the game, and whether he was in good form or not would directly affect whether Manchester City would end up with three points or zero points.

But he wasn't the one who broke the deadlock in the game.

It's Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish tower received the ball as City attacked, and he was about 36 metres from goal at that time.

A centre-forward receives the ball in this position, and the Liverpool players all think he will pass the ball.

Ibrahimovic did make a feint to pass the ball, but after fooling Skrtel in front of him, he suddenly got up and shot on the spot!

The football was not high, and it rushed forward close to the ground, directly through the Liverpool backline, and went to the far post of the goal!

Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna pounced on the ball, but he thought it was most likely to go straight wide. Because Ibrahimovic shot in too haste......

He's not even running, it's good enough to be able to play with power, and he still wants to score?

But just as he was thinking this, the ball fell to the ground in front of him, and then bounced forward, faster!

Reyna didn't save on the ball!

And the ball grazed the inside of the post and drilled into the goal!

"Ball ......" John Mortenson was stunned for a moment before he reacted and raised his arms and shouted. The ball is in! The ball is in! Ibrahimovic! Oooh oh! Incredible world waves! While everyone's attention was on Rong, Ibrahimovic suddenly broke out! In the last league game, he was in average form, but this game he washed away the stigma he received from the last game! ”

No one expected that Manchester City's lead would come so inadvertently!
