Chapter 33 If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old. Hey, meeting Hart, we're stunned.
[Damn, Leicester City are getting completely dominated by Manchester City. It's been almost twenty minutes, and they haven't managed a single decent shot.]
Now you know how good Ji Hai was back then, right? The current generation of Chinese players is truly getting worse with each generation.
Manchester City wasn't as dominant back then as they are now.
That's true, but Liu Yi still has a way to go to reach the level of "China's Sun." His 60-meter chase to clear the ball off the goal line shows his undeniable mental fortitude. Speaking of full-backs, there's a pretty good kid in the East Asia youth team, I think his name is... something like Fu Huan?
The game was one-sided, but the score remained unchanged, sparking heated discussions on online forums.
Back on the field.
Liu Yi certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to run into the penalty area and engage in a head-on physical battle with the opposing center-back.
The only attribute that hasn't improved much in the past six months is heading; he hasn't deliberately trained his jumping ability either.
In addition, although his body is stronger than before, there is still a big gap compared to those muscular, big black men.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yi put his hands on his hips and stood at the top of the penalty area.
Mancini was watching the situation on the field closely from the sidelines.
Liu Yi, who was still strolling around during the corner kick attack, was naturally spotted by him.
This kid is really hot lately, I heard he has a high goal-scoring efficiency, but he doesn't like to run.
Perhaps he's a rebellious, undisciplined troublemaker?
Mancini felt that Eriksson was not strict enough in disciplining his children.
Thinking about this, Mancini actually felt a sense of shared misfortune with the Swedish coach.
After all, the Blue Moon Legion also has a young and valiant general who came from Italy. He has unparalleled physical abilities, but unfortunately, he's not very bright. Just a couple of days ago, he blew up his own bathroom with fireworks.
Thinking of this, Mancini felt a dull ache in his temples.
If these two could combine their strengths, that would be wonderful.
(Now there are no weaknesses!)
Andy King, who was serving, raised his hand to signal.
The football streaked across the starry night sky like a shooting star.
In the middle lane, Gallagher, who was responsible for securing the first landing point, was complaining bitterly.
He's currently in front of Kolo Toure and squeezed behind Boateng.
I'm caught in the middle, a man on top of another man.
Looking at Liu Yi, who was leisurely strolling outside the penalty area, Gallagher knew that he couldn't count on him.
Manchester City's aerial dominance is very obvious!
"Boateng, he's taken the lead and secured the first ball!"
"Remove us from the danger zone!"
Kolo Toure, a seasoned veteran, keenly observed that the second ball would be key to the next round of combat.
"Protect the edge of the penalty area!"
No sooner had the Ivory Coast defender finished speaking than the black-haired figure pounced out like a cheetah that had caught the scent of blood.
Damn it, where's Milner?
There was no time to investigate the reason for Milner's disappearance.
Facing Joe Hart, Liu Yi did not hesitate for even a moment.
He took a direct, powerful shot.
The football soared into the air like a cruise missile.
Eriksson held his breath.
But then Joe Hart leaped into the air and deftly tipped the ball out of bounds.
Liu Yi was stunned.
"Damn...isn't this supposed to be the background for a world-class match?"
"Could it be because the ball speed isn't fast enough?!"
The young Manchester City goalkeeper got up and celebrated with Boateng in a passionate chest bump.
He didn't forget to roar in Liu Yi's direction, "I've been Manchester City's starting goalkeeper since I was nineteen! Now I'm an England international! This kind of long-range shot is no problem for me!"
In the stands, the fans were not discouraged by the brilliant long-range shot being blocked.
Instead, they continued to sing the team song to boost morale.
The combined voices of over 20,000 fans created a powerful and resounding melody for "When You're Smiling."
"Good shot, Liu, we need your long-range effort!"
Andy King gave Liu Yi a thumbs up, signaling that he shouldn't lose confidence because of his recent shot.
He nodded slightly.
Liu Yi knew that this question was somewhat beyond his current level.
But he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
The strong will only wield their swords against the even stronger.
Command area on the sidelines.
Mancini remained calm and composed.
Under constant pressure, it's hard to believe that the opposing Championship team won't make a mistake.
33 minutes.
The camera is focused on Manchester City striker and England international Wright-Phillips.
Every Premier League team will stockpile some incredibly fast and agile wingers.
It can be surprisingly effective in both chaotic battles and positional warfare.
"Wright! He accelerates down the wing and outmaneuveres Leicester City full-back Hobbs!"
"Breaking into the penalty area!"
Foxes goalkeeper Logan decisively rushed out to block the shooting angle.
Wright slowed down when he saw the situation.
Feint a step.
Logan was tricked by the feint and shifted his weight to the left.
And at the very moment he fell to the ground.
Wright then passed the ball into the box.
Tevez broke through the encirclement and got to the ball before the Leicester City center-back could arrive.
A gentle touch.
The football gently nestled into the net.
"Great! Goal!"
"The score is now 0-1!"
Manchester City, playing away, have taken the lead!
"Wright-Phillips and Tevez, the connection between the England and Argentina internationals!"
"Faced with a huge gap in strength and absolute individual talent, Leicester City's tenacious defense still failed to achieve its goal."
In the forum 【Liu Yi Bar】, there are many different opinions.
[Phew, that scared me to death! I can't afford to lose my four-legged bet this time!]
[You picked Manchester City to win? You really don't trust Yi Di that much?]
[It's not that I don't trust Liu Yi, but if Leicester City could also have that kind of explosive runner who can break through an entire flank and then comfortably pass the ball to Liu Yi making a run into the middle, allowing him to score a goal that even an old lady could score, I'd be willing to trust Leicester City. But they don't have that.]
"Feel sorry……"
Logan was frustrated and pounded the grass with his fist.
If he hadn't acted rashly, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.
"Don't be discouraged, Logan, there's still more than half the game left!"
His teammates comforted the tall Irishman.
Just like Superman from the Green Dragons, no one blames him if he can't win a game.
Just do your best; your abilities are what they are.
The fans in the stands remained steadfast in their support.
They express their support for the team by chanting their goalkeeper's name.
The score remained 0-1 until halftime.
The Manchester City dressing room at halftime.
The stars of the Blue Moon team were chatting and laughing.
It seemed as if victory was already assured.
Mancini is still meticulously deploying tactics.
There are far too many examples of FA Cup upsets.
It is impossible to guard against it!
Joe Hart snorted coldly.
He was the PFA Goalkeeper of the Year, and his year in Birmingham cemented his reputation as a British superstar.
And what about the two Carrington children?
One poses little threat, while the other can't even get a chance to play.
the other side.
Eriksson did not criticize the team's performance.
Against Manchester City, a top team in the Premier League, the team fought hard for 45 minutes with a defense built with willpower and blood, conceding only one goal in the first half, which is quite a tenacious performance.
It was just a bit of a pity that corner kick attack was missed.
"If you have the chance, keep shooting in the second half, don't hesitate!"
"I just want to see your decisiveness!"
Erickson chose to trust Liu Yi without reservation.
Vassell and Andy King both nodded in agreement.
We will do everything we can to create opportunities for you.
Liu Yi was deeply moved by his teammates' support.
How can I continue strolling around the field if you guys act like this?
Well, with my current stamina, I should be able to last seventy minutes without any problem.
Even if I get cramps at the end, I'll still go all out against them!
"Back from halftime!"
"Neither side made any substitutions!"
"Leicester City are starting to actively seek attacking opportunities!"
"But such courage also means risk. The area between their midfield and defense could very well become a vast grassland, allowing the Blue Moon's forwards to gallop freely like steeds!"
Vassell was matched up against Lescott on the wing.
This is yet another active British international player.
His face was ugly, with jagged, lightning-shaped scars.
Unfortunately, the movement toward skin color accuracy has not yet swept the globe.
Snow White won't be played by a Black actor, and Lescott can forget about cosplaying Harry Potter.
Vassell is also very fast, but he can't shake off Lescott.
He barely managed to stop the ball by tapping it with his heel.
Looking up again, all shooting angles were blocked.
"Come on! Give it to me!"
Liu Yi appeared at the right time and in the right place.
Vasser had no choice but to lightly tap Liu Yi with his toes.
only……
Leicester No. 23 is currently facing away from the ball.
Boateng, who was right next to him, was as imposing as a mountain.
In this situation, Vasser could think of no other way but to do it again.
Time was stretched into a viscous thread in that instant.
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami in his ears suddenly receded, and Liu Yi focused all his attention on the spot beneath his feet.
At this moment, he was unusually calm.
But it is precisely at this moment.
He was about to put on a crazy performance in this state of extreme calm.
Lightly touch the ground with the toes of your left foot.
Pick the ball!
The moment the cleats plowed through the turf, scraping away bits of dirt.
The black-haired figure seemed to be riding the clouds, leaping into the air.
Twisting in mid-air.
Relaxed.
The right leg shot out like a long whip.
The outside of his foot struck the ball solidly as it dipped after being flicked on.
A spectacular overhead kick!
It crashed down with a deafening roar!
Legendary commentator Peter Drury was now incoherent!
It transforms into a repeating machine, outputting information at an alarming rate.
"Wang Defa! Wang Defa!"
The ball speed wasn't fast, but the angle was extremely tricky.
Furthermore, with his back turned, Joe Hart couldn't see what was happening at all.
I saw a bunch of butts facing me.
And then the ball... came!
There was no time to make any rescue attempts.
The British star and England's goalkeeper stood there, watching the ball spin into the net.
Terrifying screams erupted from the scene.
The concrete pillars of Vauxhall Stadium were trembling slightly.
After Liu Yi finished the bicycle kick, he felt weak all over and staggered to the sidelines.
He made two circles in the air with one hand, then put his hand on his shoulder and bent over, like a conductor taking his final bow, and gave a deep bow to the Foxes fans in the stadium.
elegant.
Timeless!
