Chapter 73 Perfect Performance (2)
Fowler glanced at Finnan next to him and looked at Finnan's expression. He knew that Finnan must have thought his physical strength had dropped seriously at this time. In Finnan's heart, Fowler was still the Fowler when he just left Liverpool, otherwise he would not have stared at him with such indifferent eyes. This was a good opportunity for Fowler, and he had to pay the price!
Fowler, who was still jogging just now, suddenly rushed straight to Liverpool's penalty area!
Naturally, Finnan would not let Fowler leave his defense range, and he followed closely...
Noting Fowler's running position, Mousapa knew it was time for him to pass the ball!
Without reaching the bottom line, he gently rubbed his right foot...
"Not a cross!!"
Yes! It's not a cross! It's a short pass!!
The ball rolled towards the edge of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed...
And in that moment, Fowler leaned his body against Finnan behind him!
Finnan subconsciously hid for a while, and his movements naturally slowed down a bit.
And Fowler needs a little time!
Without any stopping action, Fowler slapped the ball and was ready to shoot a long shot...
The ball flew straight into the upper left corner of the goal, and Liverpool's excellent goalkeeper Reina didn't even reflect at all! The ball flew into the nest.
Huang Long jumped up on the coach's seat, and in the 85th minute, Manchester City led 3-2.
Chen Lu, who was watching the game in front of TV, almost jumped up and cheered with Huang Long. The classmate next to her asked strangely: "Chen, don't you like football? I finally pulled you here to watch it together today, why did you become a Manchester City fan so quickly? Oh, I understand, you and Manchester City coaches are both Chinese." "Chen Lu's classmate explained to her with cleverness.
Chen Lu smiled embarrassedly.
Anfield fell into silence again. With a few minutes left in the game, they were led by their opponents again. Fowler, who was once abandoned by them, was also one of the best players Liverpool has trained himself. He has scored two goals today. Maybe the club officials are regretting the psychology of now.
When Fowler saw the painful expression of Liverpool fans, he gave up celebrating after scoring the goal, walked back to the middle circle silently, waiting for the game to continue.
In the 86th minute, Morientes replaced Crouch, and Benitez was going to make a last try!
In the final stage of the game, Liverpool began to attack heavily, but the team's monotonous long pass and rushing tactics had little effect. In the 88th minute, Sun Jihai passed the ball back, and Agenfiev adjusted too slowly. His big kick-off shot hit the blocked Gerald and almost bounced into the goal. The Huanglong below scared him out of a cold sweat!
In the second minute of stoppage time, Agenfiev made a rash attack, Liverpool won the corner kick, and Renner came to Manchester City's penalty area to compete for the landing point, but the corner kick did not pose a threat.
In 3 minutes of injury time, Agenfiev launched an attack with his big foot and the ball flew to Vassel's feet. At this time, Reina was still running towards his goal. Hypia ran over desperately and wrapped around Vassel tightly, preventing him from kicking, because at this time, as long as Vassel shot within the goal frame, it would definitely be another goal. Hypia no longer cared about any foul or not. He pulled and dragged Vassel tightly. The moment he was about to bring Vassel down, Vassel got out of the ball.
Rikelme had run to him at some point.
After getting the ball, Riquelme started running wildly with the ball, and Hypia's efforts were not in vain. Their goalkeeper finally ran to the front of his goal.
Finnan greeted Riquelme not far ahead. He made up his mind and put him there as soon as Riquelme came over, saying that Manchester City could not score another goal!
But when Riquelme came to him, he seemed to pass the ball. Finnan took a step and wanted to intercept the ball, but who knew that the ball had penetrated between his legs, and his movements had been made and he could not change the direction of his body. He watched Riquelme run past him.
This time, the person who passed through the crotch attracted a lot of surprise from the audience outside the venue. Huang Long sighed: "His performance today was so perfect!"
Fowler has left Liverpool's defense far behind, and at this time he has formed a two-ghost slamming goal with Riquelme!
Scoring goals seems very easy.
Riquelme is now facing Liverpool goalkeeper Renner. With just a light push, the ball will roll into the net.
But he noticed Fowler's anxious expression coming from behind. He knew what it meant to play a hat trick against Liverpool. He chose to shake Renner down with a fake move, and then gently tweak the ball back.
Fowler, who arrived, easily sent the ball into the empty goal!
Four to two, this goal was completely sentenced to Liverpool's death penalty!
Fowler hugged Riquelme tightly and kept saying thank you!
At the end of the game, Manchester City beat Liverpool four-two away with 31 points and the standings have risen to third place.
Reports about Riquelme flooded major British media after the game. After witnessing Riquelme's performance against Liverpool, Sky TV commentator believed: "After Maradona retired, there was no God on the football field. But Riquelme is undoubtedly the closest one. He almost brought Manchester City to victory alone. Fowler will become even more terrifying with his support. On the football field, he is as cold as a refrigerator."
Charlton, who is in charge of post-match rating, also believes that Riquelme is the most threatening Liverpool team in this game: "Liverpool players do have few opportunities to contact players like Riquelme. They may compare Riquelme with Dalexandro, but don't forget that compared with Dalexandro, Riquelme has a stronger impact. He has a height of 1.82 meters, and his overall view and way of handling balls in sports are also better than Dalexandro."
A London newspaper introduced Riquelme: "Since Riquelme led the team to win the World Youth Championship when he was 19 years old in 1997, he was considered Maradona's successor, but in the eyes of Argentine coaches, he saw more of his shortcomings than his strengths. Therefore, neither Bielsa nor Passarella were optimistic about him. After going to Barcelona in 2002 to 2003, Riquelme also faced the same embarrassment, and Van Gaal did not appreciate him. Peckerman dared to let him be the core and needed to have a certain degree of courage." In fact, Peckerman was the coach who led Riquelme to win the World Youth Championship that year, and Riquelme himself admitted: "Only by playing for a coach who fully trusts me, can I play my true level."
