Chapter five hundred and ninety second approaching the forty mark
The scores of both sides return to the same starting line.
Liverpool diehards at Anfield Stadium still sang "You Will Never Walk Alone".
At this moment, their fans naturally hope that Liverpool can continue to score goals and win this difficult game.
Liverpool has long been mentally prepared for the difficulty of the game against the leader at home.
Next, the game entered a tug-of-war between each other.
The real fierce battle.
Hard, torment.
Compared to Liverpool, who played in the League Cup in the middle of the week, Manchester City should have had a more physical advantage.
However, Liverpool's players are younger and have a certain advantage in physical fitness.
The situation seems to be becoming increasingly difficult to control by Manchester City.
When the game reached 74 minutes, Liverpool achieved a siege against Manchester City.
After Xu Qi returned, Manchester City played so miserably for the first time.
However, Xu Qi still didn't want the team to suffer a loss.
This league is very critical, and Chelsea has been biting too tightly in the standings this year.
Two minutes later, Coutinho's shot almost opened Manchester City's goal.
The game is about to come to 80 minutes, and a cross from Liverpool into the penalty area was pushed out by Kompany.
Then, Yaya Toure received the ball and passed it to Xu Qi.
"The opportunity to counterattack is here!" Xu Qi finally waited for this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi began to dribble the ball and rush.
He finally waited for this moment.
Reality passed Henderson and then faced Emre Jen.
Xu Qi passed the ball horizontally to Dzeko, and Dzeko returned to Xu Qi again. After the two were quite skillful, Xu Qi broke into the penalty area.
Simple, clear, and simply counterattack and cooperate.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi entered the penalty area and Aguero rushed to the right.
Only Scotter and goalkeeper Minhole remain in the penalty area.
This is two to one.
At this time, Xu Qi did not choose to pass the ball, found the line near the goal, and directly shot with his right foot.
He shot with a very fast shot and directly knocked through the goal.
Three to two, reverse the score!
Xu Qi scored twice!
This is also Xu Qi's 38th league goal.
On Liverpool, Xu Qi scored two more goals.
"Oh my God, my God, which team in this world can stop Xu Qi? This is really incredible!" said the commentator of Sky Sports incredibly.
The major commentators in China are also spared no effort to praise Xu Qi. Xu Qi's data is already numb, but no matter how numb it is, it still has to blow it up.
Next, Liverpool made a desperate attempt and fought back.
Manchester City immediately adjusted its lineup and defended with all its strength.
Dzeko ended up and replaced Milner.
Only collected on the entire line.
Liverpool can also get a chance to start with the offensive method, after all, they have strong long-range shooting ability.
However, at this time, it is too difficult to equalize the score with a long shot.
They have scored two world waves in this game, so they can't make the third one.
If Joe Hart is a hat-trick in the world, then his background emperor will be ridiculed for several years.
Fortunately, Joe Hart performed very well in the last few minutes.
Manchester City finally managed to defend the victory.
The team continues to continue the Premier League winning streak after Xu Qi returns.
In the standings, continue to lead Chelsea.
It's just a pity that Chelsea's team just doesn't fall behind.
This game consumes a lot of money on Manchester City.
In the next round, Manchester City will play against Leicester City at home. Compared to a week of rest, the team's physical fitness should not be affected.
"Fortunately, the second and first rounds of the Champions League were relatively long." Xu Qi looked at the next schedule.
After the next round of Leicester City, the team has five days to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against the Donetsk Miners at home.
Such a schedule is quite loose.
Manchester City both were eliminated in the League Cup and the FA Cup, which would not feel too tired if Manchester City, who only needed to play on the two fronts.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to fight on the third line with the strength of the Premier League. Even if Xu Qi has good physical fitness, he would not be able to bear it.
Especially, there are rules for rematch in the FA Cup, which is simply inhumane to exhaust people.
As March comes, the climate is already pretty good.
The Chinese lunar calendar also came to the Lantern Festival.
The league leader Manchester City also ushered in the 28th round of the league match against Leicester City on the Lantern Festival.
Leicester City, which has a fox on the team logo, is currently ranked last in the league, only one step away from being relegated.
Pearson's coaching position is in jeopardy, and they really hope to successfully block Manchester City to make their relegation situation better.
However, not many people are optimistic about them.
Even Liverpool, who was in a hot state, was reversed by Manchester City at home.
Just Leicester City?
It is indeed difficult for such a relegation team.
Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer came here from Chelsea during the winter transfer.
"He has never had the chance to fight Xu Qi, and today he finally has the opportunity to feel the feeling of being scored by Xu Qi." Many commentators at Sky Sports Station joked about Schwarze.
After all, Xu Qi is in a very hot state now.
This old goalkeeper couldn't stop it at all.
Sure enough, after the start of the game, Schwarzer only blocked Xu Qi's two shots. When Xu Qi made his third shot, the goal he guarded was pierced.
Those experts’ jokes are not just casual.
Xu Qi scored, and the number of goals reached 39, which was only one away from the 40 goals mark!
Moreover, Xu Qi has scored 25 consecutive Premier League games.
Before the end of the first half, David Silva also scored and rewrites the score to 2-0.
And in the second half, something that was somewhat incomprehensible happened in this game.
Xu Qi, who originally wanted to continue scoring goals, was replaced by Pellegrini in the 67th minute of the second half.
Xu Qi obviously wanted to stay on the court and continue to score goals, and he also wanted to break the 40-goal mark.
However, Pellegrini thought of the mid-week Champions League match.
In that game, Xu Qi will face his old boss Donetsk miners again.
The two teams had a 0-0 first round match, and this game was already leading by 2-0, and the situation was very good. Of course, Pellegrini had to make plans early.
Therefore, Xu Qi could only accept that he would have to wait until the next game to break the 40-goal mark.
The opponent in the next game is not strong, Burnley, the second-last in the league.
After Xu Qi left the court, Manchester City still controlled the situation on the court.
Xu Qi naturally didn't worry about losing the fruits of this game.
Leicester City really doesn't have that ability.
Although Mahrez and Valdi have also created some threats, they are still quite far from breaking Manchester City's goal.
The second half was interrupted, and Milner, who came on as a substitute, also received an assist from Navas and scored.
Three to zero, clean and neat!
A complete victory.
The top versus the last, and he scored a valuable three-pointer without spending too much.
Next, the team can finally wait patiently for the arrival of the Donetsk Miners at their doorstep.
Chapter completed!
