On January 7, 2013, the Red Army ushered in their opponent in the 21st round of the Premier League this season - Black Cat Sunderland.
But just as the Liverpool fans were happily waiting for the Red Army to defeat their opponent, before the game started, bad news came from within the Red Army.
One of the main players strained his thigh muscle during the last warm-up training before the game.
And this injured and miserable guy is none other than Balotelli.
Seeing Bashen limping and being helped out of the field by the team doctor, Origi sneakily touched Li Yi's side and said with a smile, "That's right! His kid just dared to brag to me that he was a five-time prostitute last night."
Haha! Retribution is coming!”
Looking back, he seriously planned to tease Olic, and Li Yizheng said, "We are teammates, how could you do this to Olic! You should say - let's see if you dare to do it five times in one night next time! Haha!"
…
It has to be said that Balotelli's injury has caused the Red Army's forward strength to decline. Fortunately, Liverpool, which has sufficient manpower on the front line, will not be in the embarrassment of having no one available as soon as Balotelli is injured.
situation!
With a wave of the flag, Suarez, who had been pushed to the winger position by Barcelona this season, was ordered to take the center position when he was in danger!
No one from the outside noticed that Liverpool's replacement was a helpless move, but it had a perfect and miraculous effect during the game.
Only 10 minutes into the game, Li Yi picked up the ball with his back in the midfield, attracting four midfielders from the opponent's team to double-team him. Like a long eye in the back of his head, he sent a wonderful overhead pass and accurately sent the ball to Suarez.
At his feet, facing the opponent's attacking goalkeeper, Su Shen calmly challenged her with a kick, helping the Red Army open the record! 1-0.
5 minutes later, the Red Army made a comeback. This time, it was Li Yi again. After intercepting the opponent's through ball in the middle, Li Yi seemed to make a big kick to clear the ball. However, the ball strangely flew to the feet of Suarez again. Once again, Suarez single-handedly scored.
God was still strong, and with a calm kick, he sent the ball from between the legs of the Black Cat goalkeeper and into the opponent's door, 2-0!
Liverpool led Sunderland by 20 at halftime into the dugout.
In the 71st minute of the second half, it was Li Yi who stole the ball at the edge of the penalty area. Li Yi made a long pass of more than 70 meters to help Suarez score his third single goal! 3-0.
In the end, with Li Yi's assist hat trick and Suarez's goal hat trick, Liverpool defeated Sunderland 3-0 at home.
Although the Red Devils were as strong as ever, sweeping Wigan Athletic 4-0, Liverpool still led the standings with a 2-point advantage.
After the game against Sunderland, the Red Army only rested for one day before taking a plane to Manchester.
Six days later, Liverpool will stage a real table battle with Manchester United here.
As of now, after 21 league rounds, Liverpool is ranked with 17 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, while the Red Devils are in second place with 17 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
The points difference between the two teams is only 2 points. If the Red Army is not careful in this game, Manchester United will pull down the Red Army and sit alone in the standings.
Moreover, for the current Manchester United, the points in the standings are second to none. Do you still remember the game between the two sides in the first half of the season?
At Anfield, Liverpool defeated them with a perfect dive by Li Yi.
Therefore, the Red Devils, who were unconvinced, regarded this game as their true meaning - a battle of revenge!
After half a day of intense training, Li Yi is happily walking around with his teammates.
Regarding the battle with Manchester United two days later, to be honest, they have been the leaders for half the season and are not very concerned about it now. Even if this game incidentally involves years of grievances between the two sides, the same is true.
Once again, he was teased by Li Yi. He only passed the ball with a last-minute kick. Balotelli, who had been a monkey for half an hour, quit!
"Artus, you are not kind!" Ba Shen stopped, put his hands on his hips, pointed at Li Yi, and said eloquently.
"Uh!" Well, when he heard the word "kindness" coming from Balotelli's mouth again, the corner of Li Yi's mouth showed a smile unconsciously, because whether Balotelli still remembered it or not, Li Yi knew it clearly.
I remember the previous signing incident. At that time, wasn’t this exactly what Bashen said in his opening remarks?
Looking at the other party calmly, Li Yi asked angrily and funnyly, "Mario, tell me, why am I so unkind again?"
"Hi, Mario, did your new girlfriend ask you for Artus's autograph yesterday again? Haha!" Well, okay, Li Yi is obviously not the only one who remembered the autograph incident. No, it was in 2
Orici, who was not far away, raised the issue after hearing Balotelli's words.
Turning his head and scorning Olic with his eyes, Balotelli said to Li Yi, "That's a goal! Look at your usual games, how many assists do you give me? But as soon as I got injured, Luis scored a hat-trick!"
Are you being unkind? Do you favor one over another?"
"Uh!" Okay, here is the trainer. More importantly, it seems that 3 or 4 days have passed since that game! Li Yi really convinced Balotelli. Because with his normal thinking,
It's really hard to imagine how Balotelli would think about his assist hat trick while walking the monkey.
Well, fortunately, he has been with Ba Shen for a long time, and Li Yi has his own ideas on how to deal with him - that is, ignore him and ignore him!
Turning around, Li Yi greeted his teammates to continue training as if nothing was wrong!
"..." Being ignored again, Ba Shen would just let it go as usual, but today was different. He had made up his mind to ask for an explanation on this matter.
Seeing Li Yi ignoring him, Balotelli continued, "Artus, if you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence. In the game the day after tomorrow, you must give me at least 4 assists! Well, it's settled!"
"
"Pfft!" After hearing Balotelli's new request, Li Yi spurted out blood.
Look what Bashen said, assists, still 4! Li Yizhen really wanted to slap Bashen. And told the opponent, this is a game against Manchester United. If you say 4, you will score 4? Then do the Manchester United people still want to mess around?
Got it? If you can get one, you should be laughing!
As if he had read through Li Yi's mind, when Li Yi was vomiting blood, Ba Shen even added jealousy as a matter of course, "It's only 4, that's all you have. If I asked you to get 6 assists, why don't you just ask for it?"
What’s your life?”
…
"Viewers, audience friends, hello everyone, I am Zhan Jun. Today's live broadcast is still broadcast by Sina. As you can see from the screen, the two sides facing each other are Liverpool, which is joined by Chinese players, and
Manchester United, who are playing at home today, have already started entering the stadium.
Well, since the game hasn't started yet, let me introduce to you the rosters of both sides.
In today's game, Liverpool played away from home and used a 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper, Adler, 4 defenders, Glen Johnson, De Rossi, Thiago Silva, Piszczek. 2 defensive midfielders, Gerrard + Li Yi, attacking midfielder Kaká, at the top
In front are Suarez, Balotelli and Reus.
Let’s look at Manchester United again. In today’s game, Ferguson also used the 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper, De Gea, 4 defenders, Rafael, Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic,
2 defensive midfielders, Giggs, Carrick.
The attacking midfielder position is played by Rooney, who was absent due to injury in the last game against the Red Army and has just returned from injury.
As for the three people at the front, Welbeck on the left, Valencia on the right, and Robin van Persie in the center.
Okay, the game has begun. In this game, the first to kick off is Manchester United, who attacks from right to left and is wearing a red jersey."
…………
His eyes returned to the field.
As soon as the referee on duty blew his whistle, all the Manchester United soldiers raised their bayonets and launched various charges towards Liverpool's defense line one after another.
I don’t blame them for being too excited, I just blame Manchester United for losing the last game, which was so unjust! Who would have thought that Li Yi, who has been awarded countless good guy cards, can play this trick for them?
Therefore, in today's game, a simple victory will definitely not eliminate the hatred of the Manchester United soldiers. A big victory will be barely acceptable!
With a small move similar to a foul, Rooney forced away Li Yi who was close to him. Less than 20 seconds after the start, Rooney tested Adler with a powerful and deep long-range shot.
Fortunately, Adler's children's shoes, which have been highly praised by the German national team recently, showed no signs of being distracted even though the game had just begun.
With a stretched side dive, Adler blocked Rooney's shot from the bottom line and took a corner kick.
…
Glancing at Sir Alex who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai beside him, chewing gum, the assistant hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked, "Boss, is it really okay for us to fight like this? You know, Liverpool's counterattack,
But it’s very sharp, especially Artus’ long pass, which is simply monster!”
"Haha!" Sensing the nervousness of his assistant, Sir Alex just smiled slightly, and then the old god replied: "Don't worry, we played like this at the beginning, just because we want Liverpool to know our attitude, that is, in that game that day, we lost
Very dissatisfied!
So, if you can score the opponent's goal within 10 minutes, that's great, but even if you can't, don't worry too much, the real game will officially start in 10 minutes!"
Nodding in understanding, the assistant returned his gaze to the field.
While watching the game, he looked at the time if he had nothing to do. When 10 minutes of the game time passed, the assistant suddenly discovered that the change in Ferguson's mouth appeared...
