Tang Long's shot caused one person on the field to herniate a disc and one person off the field to faint!
Tang Long takes a shot!
The ball went wide of the goal again.
Although he adjusted his center of gravity well, he was still affected by Milner's impact and missed the target.
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet simply stretched out his hand, watching the ball sail over the crossbar.
"Tang Long's two long-range shots at the start of the game both went high!"
"It seems we're still struggling with Milner's defense."
"Milner is playing left-back for the first time this season. Is this a surprise move by Klopp?"
"Look at Klopp's expression, I think that's the case!"
The camera gave a close-up shot of the Liverpool manager.
Klopp excitedly pumped his fist, as if the ball hadn't gone high by Tang Long, but rather Liverpool had scored.
This is not surprising, because cutting inside from the left wing and shooting is a signature move of Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, Tang Long has perfectly replicated this move. His flick and shot has almost become his signature shooting move, making countless Premier League defenders tremble with fear.
However, Milner's initiative to volunteer was not part of Klopp's pre-match plan, and this move was indeed a calculated move.
"Now that Etihad is scoring, we have to come up with a surprise move!" Klopp was going all out.
Tang Long exerted too much force, and after kicking the ball, he took a step and knelt on one knee to release the pressure.
"Is this what third place in the Ballon d'Or' Or is? If you're third place in the Ballon d'Or, I can win the Ballon d'Or. Stand up, kid!" Milner continued to provoke him.
After playing in the UEFA European Championship, Milner's wish has been fulfilled.
Mancini doesn't like this player and has already excluded him from the starting lineup, so Milner's national team career is basically over.
Milner came to Manchester City with a burning desire for revenge; he was determined to win and make his former club regret abandoning him so ruthlessly.
And all of this started because Tang Long joined Manchester City from Inter Milan and took his place!
Tang Long heard Milner's provocation but did not respond.
He felt a strange warmth emanating from his calves.
The warmth gradually intensified, until my calves felt like they were burning, before suddenly fading away.
"Yes, that's it!"
Tang Long clenched his fist excitedly, jumped high in the air, and turned to leave without even glancing at Milner.
Milner was taken aback, thinking, "He's been knocked away and he's still jumping around? Is he crazy?"
Through his shot in this confrontation with Milner, Tang Long had a sudden realization.
Liverpool were under pressure for half an hour, but gradually recovered and launched a counterattack.
Milner was the most active runner in the entire the Reds!
In the 32nd minute, the counter-attack down the flank was initiated by right- Clyne. Henderson, in the middle, held off the slender Thiago and acted as a target man before passing the ball to Milner, who was making a run down the other side.
In the Sky Sport studio, commentator Gerrard exclaimed:
"Great shot! Henderson's shot reminds me of Vieira during his time at Arsenal. Standing in the middle, he was a solid tower."
"Milner got the ball! My God, he actually broke past Robertson!"
"It's over!"
"Robertson is clearly inexperienced; he's fast, but he didn't manage to maintain his position!"
Milner crosses the ball!
"Firmmy is in the middle!"
Bang!
Ranocchia headed the ball far out of the penalty area, knocking Firmino flying in the process.
"Ah... what a pity," Gerrard sighed.
Milner was also extremely frustrated. "I'm dressed so well, and my dribbling is so skillful, why can't I get past Ranocchia's head?"
Before he could think too much, Milner was shocked and quickly retreated to defend.
Tang Long has the ball!
When Milner crossed the ball, Tang Long was also tracking back, but seeing Ranocchia leap high, he turned and walked away.
As expected, Ranocchia's header landed on his side, and Tang Long, having anticipated this, got to the ball smoothly.
Bang bang bang--
Tang Long dribbles forward, signaling a transition between offense and defense!
"Ah--"
A roar came, and Tang Long turned his head to see Milner charging towards him with murderous intent.
"Hey, you're pushing yourself too hard!" Tang Long performed a Marseille Turn, passed Henderson, and turned to Milner, who was only three meters away from him, and laughed.
"I'm going to keep an eye on you, Tang!" Milner's foot slammed forward with the shout.
Slap! Slap!
Tang Long twirled past Milner with a quick, quick movement, like La Croqueta, and continued forward!
"Forward! Forward!"
"Charge, Tang!"
The Etihad fans are getting louder!
Milner continued his relentless pursuit even after Tang Long had passed Emre Can and Klavan, but Milner remained as clingy as a leech, refusing to let Tang Long go.
"You're staying here, kid!"
Seeing that Tang Long had actually gotten past center-back Klavan, Milner, not wanting Tang Long to go one-on-one, got carried away and made a wolf-like tackle, trying to knock Tang Long down outside the penalty area.
Even if he gets a red card, I won't let you score—that's Milner's insane mindset.
Bang!
Faced with Milner's crazy actions, Tang Long turned to the side, using the muscles of his buttocks and thighs to thrust hard into Milner's waist!
Milner felt a violent impact hit him, and his most vulnerable part, his waist, cracked with a snap. He was flipped through the air like a fried egg flipped over with a spatula before crashing to the ground.
"Ah!!!"
Milner's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from the pain of that roar.
But it was precisely because he was in so much pain that he opened his eyes wide and witnessed a world-class goal.
Tang Long, outside the penalty area, about 25 meters from the goal, raised his foot and shot!
Milner saw an unbelievable arc in his eyes. The football first shot straight towards the goal like a sharp sword, but just as Mignolet made a save, it suddenly shifted back and forth in a strange way, left-right-left!
Mignolet leaped up like a frog, frantically using his hands and feet, but missed completely; the ball flew past his neck and into the net!
"Ah, that ball!"
Milner lay on the ground, completely stunned.
He simply couldn't believe that Tang Long had actually delivered such a bizarre arc!
What bothered him even more was that the ball, which was clearly a straight shot with no spin at first, was moving at such high speed. It was supposed to be a powerful instep shot, so how did it become so unpredictable as it approached the goalkeeper?
Milner slowly rose to his feet, and in his eyes appeared a scene he never wanted to see—
Tang Long stood still, facing the Etihad stands on that side, and spread his arms wide.
"Tang!!!!" Cheers resounded through the sky.
This goal brought Milner a deep sense of shame.
Because Tang Long scored after being knocked away!
A sharp, piercing pain shot through Milner's lower back, causing him to collapse to his knees as he clutched his back.
"Awooooo!"
The pig-like screams horrified everyone present.
Liverpool's team doctor enters the field.
The stretcher was brought on stage.
Milner is substituted.
"What's wrong with him?" Klopp rushed to the sidelines.
"She has a herniated disc!" the team doctor exclaimed anxiously.
Klopp, having received a reply, put his hands on his head.
He was as shocked as he had been when Milner had stopped Tang Long.
Milner got bumped by Tang Long and then suffered a herniated disc?
Klopp has been a coach for ten years and has never seen this kind of injury.
Just as Klopp was in shock, another commotion broke out in the stands behind him.
"Something terrible has happened!"
"A fan has fainted!"
Tang Long looked up and saw a chubby man clutching his chest, surrounded by chaos.
The referee appropriately stopped the game, allowing Manchester City's team doctor to come onto the field to treat the man, who was then carried away.
From a distance, Tang Long could only make out a black-haired person, who appeared to be Asia.
"Hmm, this person looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before?" Tang Long thought to himself.
