Manchester City's Monkey-Teasing Show: Milner Sees Red and Loses It, While Zhan Jun Shatters His Voice in Despair!

Since Manchester City scored a goal in the 16th minute...

Klopp's timely retreat somewhat curbed Manchester City's attacking firepower.

Commentator Zhan Jun gradually calmed down.

Everyone knows that Zhan Jun is actually a die-hard Liverpool fan.

As a Kop, he certainly doesn't want Liverpool to lose at Manchester City's home ground!

"The situation between the two sides is now gradually showing a trend of evenness."

Manchester City's attack slowed down somewhat, while Liverpool also had several good chances, and the game was back and forth.

"This actually reflects the relative strengths of both sides. While Manchester City is strong, they are far from being able to completely overwhelm Liverpool."

"As long as Liverpool keeps a clean sheet in the first half, they still have a chance to win in the second half."

Li Yuankui, the commentator standing to the side, naturally guessed Zhan Jun's thoughts.

The old gentleman was humorous and witty, and suddenly said:

"In the second half, the moment Benteke comes on will be the moment Liverpool sound the horn of their counterattack, right, Zhan Jun?"

Zhan Jun: "... Okay, the broadcast camera is focused on the stands! It's the lead singer of Oasis! He actually came to the show!"

Gündoğan and Tang Long agreed to take Milner for a walk.

When it comes to walking a monkey, these two are a perfect match.

Of course, we also have to add Ranocchia.

In a typical Manchester City training session, during a rondo drill...

Tang Long, Ranocchia, and Gündoğan are the players who least often act like monkeys (a derogatory term for players who act like monkeys).

Because once the ball gets to their feet, it's always passed out, and no one can steal it.

38th minute of the first half.

Goalkeeper Caballero delivered a short ball, Ranocchia and passed to Gündoğan was receiving it.

Gündoğan looked up—and sure enough, Milner was still keeping a close eye on Tang Long.

Milner is interesting; he doesn't even look at the ball, his eyes are fixed on Tang Long.

Tang Long looked to the left, so he turned his head to the left as well;

Tang Long looked to the right, so he turned his head to the right!

It seemed that once Tang Long's gaze shifted even slightly, he would lose his grip on this person.

"Tang is being closely watched, quickly connect with the left flank!"

Seeing that Gündoğan hadn't passed the ball yet, center- Ranocchia quickly instructed Gündoğan to pass the ball to Kolarov, who had space on the left wing.

But at that moment, Tang Long suddenly took a step back, pushed off the ground, and dodged to create an angle. As he landed, Gündoğan passed the ball to him.

"Forehead..."

Ranocchia was taken aback.

He felt the pass wasn't good; it wasn't up to Gündoğan's standards.

After all, Tang Long was still trapped in the opponent's double-team and had not shaken off Milner.

Milner, seeing Tang Long break free of his defense and get the ball, angrily chased after him again.

Tang Long, without stopping the ball, flicked it back to Gündoğan with the outside of his foot and then charged forward.

In that back-and-forth movement, Tang Long received another pass from Gündoğan while advancing, and unsurprisingly, the ball was passed back to Gündoğan again.

Milner was completely flustered by the fake, and for a moment he didn't know whether to go for the ball or watch out for his man.

His neck turned bright red, and he roared, "Where is everyone? Come and fight with me!"

However, Milner's teammates did not follow his lead and press forward.

By this time, the first half was almost over, and the players' stamina was reaching a plateau.

Liverpool, especially the away team, needs to be extra careful at this point and avoid rash moves.

The safest approach would be to hold onto the 0-1 score until the final whistle and then make plans for the second half.

Tang Long and Gündoğan's series of quick passes caught Ranocchia guard, who also figured out what was going on.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to put Milner on the run.

With such a great opportunity, I, your brother, absolutely have to be there!

So when Gündoğan got the ball again, Ranocchia took a step forward and waved to him.

"Count me in!"

Gündoğan understood perfectly and passed the ball to Ranocchia.

Thus, a three-man backcourt passing and control system was formed.

Snap snap snap snap snap!

Ranocchia and Gündoğan passed the ball back and forth five times, but no one went up to challenge for it.

At this moment, Liverpool's center forward Firmino had already retreated to the center circle.

Milner was somewhat annoyed.

Just then, Gündoğan was about to pass the ball to Tang Long, Milner attempted a sliding tackle to intercept it. However, before his foot was even halfway out, Tang Long deftly flicked the ball with his toes and soared into the air!

The ball and the player flew right past Milner!

When it landed, it deliberately stuck its butt out high.

"Hmm, what's that smell? It's so stinky!"

Tang Long turned around and looked at Gündoğan with a mischievous grin.

Milner, lying on the ground, realized that Tang Long had deliberately turned his backside towards him and let out a stinky fart, and he was instantly enraged!

He pounced on his feet, leaping up and charging towards the soccer ball.

Are you trying to fool me?

I'm going to kick the ball away!

As a result, a four-man scramble for the ball occurred in Manchester City's own half.

Tang Long, Ranocchia, Gündoğan formed a triangle, surrounding Milner in a small circle.

Poor Milner, he's just like an angry little monkey!

He ran to the left, and the ball ended up on the right.

Run to the right, and the ball will be on the left;

Run upwards, and the ball will reach the bottom;

As the ball continued its downward momentum, Tang Long delivered a lobbed pass, the ball just clearing Milner's hair and returning to Gündoğan's feet.

"Milner, are you crazy? Stop now, conserve your energy!"

Seeing this comical scene, Klopp realized that Milner had fallen into Manchester City's trap in their own half and quickly shouted to wake him up.

But Milner, blinded by rage, couldn't hear Klopp's shouts.

His ears seemed deaf, his eyes were red, and he chased the ball around like a dog.

Before long, he was covered in sweat.

But they couldn't even touch the ball.

When he finally got tired and was panting with his hands on his knees, Tang Long and Gündoğan were only three meters away from him, passing the ball six times in a row with a "bang bang bang bang bang" sound, while Milner was as thin as air.

In the stands, England assistant coach Chivu, who was watching the game live, couldn't help but chuckle.

This reminded him of the time when Xavi and Busquets would outmaneuver Cristiano Ronaldo at Barca.

They were passing the ball back and forth in the backfield as if no one else was there, but Cristiano Ronaldo just couldn't get it.

Chivu admired Milner's tenacity. Most players would have given up long ago, but Milner, despite being exhausted, kept running, demonstrating his strong desire for victory.

But the next second, Chivu's expression suddenly changed in shock!

Tang Long passed the ball to Gündoğan, Gündoğan then passed it to Ranocchia with his foot, wanting to keep Milner on his toes.

Milner has been made a fool of for so long that he has lost his mind!

He charged toward Gündoğan, who had just passed the ball, and swept him to the ground with a single kick. The referee immediately blew his whistle!

If it ended there, it might have just been a simple foul, and Milner wouldn't even have gotten a yellow card.

But the problem was that he kicked Milner in the back while Milner was already lying on the ground.

Retaliatory action!

That kick had a devastating effect; all the Manchester City players rushed over and instantly surrounded Milner.

Liverpool players also gathered around, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a moment.

After finally calming the situation down, the referee immediately showed Milner a red card.

Intentional assault, red card!

Seeing this, Chivu shook his head in disappointment and wrote a line on Milner's page in his notebook:

This person is emotionally unstable and unsuitable for important positions.

Chivu has already excluded Milner from his squad for the UEFA European Championship this summer.

Liverpool, playing with 11 men against 11, might be able to hold on for the entire game and even find time to launch some counter-attacks;

But what's the point of playing with one less player, no matter how hard the other players on the field try or how much they run?

What's more, the player they lost was Milner, who had the strongest stamina and the highest fighting spirit on the field.

In the second half, the game became overwhelmingly one-sided, with Manchester City completely controlling the tempo.

Liverpool, playing with ten men, were even less willing to push forward, fearing a humiliating defeat.

Tang Long sat confidently in the backcourt, allowing Gündoğan to push forward when necessary.

In the 61st minute of the second half, Kolarov's corner kick was headed away in the ensuing scramble.

Gündoğan waited at the edge of the penalty area, judged the trajectory, and unleashed a high volley!

The ball hit Kolo Toure, its trajectory slightly deflecting as it flew towards the goal, interfering with Mignolet's judgment.

2:0!

Gündoğan jumped for joy after finally scoring his first goal for Manchester City!

His teammates gathered around to congratulate him.

"Beautiful Gündoğan!"

"Killed the game, well done!"

"I knew you could shoot from long range!"

Gündoğan pounded his chest twice, looked up to the sky and roared, his cry echoing across the vast Etihad Stadium.

Tang Long was also happy for Gündoğan, since he was now one of their own after joining the team.

It's just a pity for the commentator Zhan Jun!

Gündoğan's shot was absolutely beautiful; that stunning volley deserves a spot in this round's top five Premier League goals.

Any fan would find it thrilling, but Zhan Jun was deeply conflicted.

Liverpool are finished, the game is over!

If someone were watching the game alone at home, Zhan Jun would probably smash the remote control.

But at this moment, in the studio, receiving a salary from his boss, and struggling to make ends meet, despite his haggard appearance, he forced out a sliver of passion and shouted into the microphone:

"World wave!"

"An absolute world-class goal!"

"Gündoğan killed the game!"

Manchester City are now two goals ahead!

"Whether Benteke or not is irrelevant now!"

On the bench.

Benteke, who was drinking water wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat, suddenly shivered and sneezed...
