As if he heard Ter Stegen's wailing, Li Mingyu just used a simple change of direction. Ter Stegen fell to the ground and stretched out his arms to get the ball at Li Mingyu's feet, but Li Mingyu lifted the ball over Ter Stegen's head with a light move.
A light shot penetrated Barcelona's door again.
1:2, Manchester City, playing away from home, took the lead again.
Facing his old master, Li Mingyu showed no mercy at all.
Similarly, after scoring the goal, Li Mingyu stretched out his hands to apologize to the Barcelona fans in the stands.
Although the fans of Barcelona were very unhappy when they saw their team lagging behind, they still had mixed feelings after seeing the performance of Li Mingyu.
Why was such a good child given away?
Laporta, what a bastard!
Listening to the uniform scoldings of the fans in the audience, Barcelona chairman Laporta, who was sitting in the VIP box, also looked embarrassed.
The chairman of Manchester City, Mubarak, smiled and looked like I couldn't understand the Spain slang and didn't know what was being shouted outside.
You know, Mubarak was under tremendous pressure when he decided to buy Li Mingyu.
Three hundred million euros is the largest transfer expenditure in the entire history of football. There are many small teams that have never seen so much money in their lives.
At that time, many people denounced this transfer. They believed that Manchester City was taking a huge gamble. If he gambled heavily for Champions League's championship, he would definitely lose everything.
Just like Juventus bet that Cristiano Ronaldo can bring them the Champions League championship, but after so many years, Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to help Juventus touch the Champions League championship trophy again, and has not even reached the finals.
Everyone is waiting to see Manchester City's joke this time.
However, no one expected that after Li Mingyu came to Manchester City, instead of plummeting, he quickly integrated into the team and helped the team win a terrifying twenty-three consecutive victories in various competitions.
In November, Li Mingyu led Spain National Team to regain the championship of World Cup on Qatar World Cup, and achieved a grand slam of personal honors.
Li Mingyu's performance made those who wanted to see a joke shut their mouths and their faces were almost swollen.
Mubarak looked at Li Mingyu's performance on the field and felt relieved. The 300 million euros he spent were so worth it.
A five-year contract, plus salary and bonuses, Manchester City will spend about 700 million euros on Li Mingyu.
But Mubarak doesn't feel bad at all, because he will get more rewards from Li Mingyu.
Over the years, Manchester City has slowly become one of the best teams in Premier League, and has completely come out of the predicament that Manchester had only red.
At the end of the first half, the score remained at 1:2, with Manchester City playing away from home taking the lead.
Back in the locker room, Guardiola announced the second half of the game and Li Mingyu took a break.
Although Li Mingyu wants to continue fighting, he also knows what Guardiola means. This game does not have much meaning for Manchester City, who needs to save his main strength for the upcoming tense schedule.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, when Camp Nou fans saw Li Mingyu sitting on the bench, they suddenly became dissatisfied.
Is this looking down on us?
Just one goal ahead, the main player was replaced.
However, it is undeniable that both the Barcelona players and fans felt inexplicably relieved.
After Li Mingyu was replaced, Manchester City's lineup quickly retreated, with the two wingers retreating back to protect the wings.
Manchester City, who defended resolutely, gave Barcelona a huge headache.
In the cheers of Camp Nou fans, Messi used a beautiful direct free kick in the 85th minute to help Barcelona equalize the score.
At the end of the game, the score was locked at 2:2. Barcelona struggled to get a point at his home court.
With this one-point advantage, Barcelona still ranked second, overwhelming AC Milan, and took the initiative in the final round of life-and-death battle with the opponent.
And Manchester City directly won the first place in the group because of this point.
However, Manchester City's winning streak also ended here.
However, for the players Guardiola and Manchester City, the winning streak is nothing, only the final championship is the most important.
Three days later, Li Mingyu returned to his home court and challenged the Arsenal team in EFL Cup.
However, to Li Mingyu's dismay, team Arsenal directly chose to surrender.
Looking at the Arsenal team with all the substitutes, Li Mingyu only played in the first half of the game, with two assists and no goals. In the second half, Li Mingyu sat on the bench and bragged with his teammates.
5:0, at their home court, Manchester City defeated the Arsenal team that had already given up on EFL Cup, and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
Manchester City's opponent in the quarter-finals was none other than Team Tottenham Hotspur, one of Premier League big6.
On January 9th, the third round of FA Cup started. Manchester City's opponent was League One team Bristol Rovers.
Facing such a team, Guardiola directly deployed the entire substitute lineup and youth team without leading any main players.
Guardiola is not very interested in FA Cup. He has won FA Cup for two consecutive years. He has already proved his Guardiola in this competition and is ready to give up this cup competition.
But I didn't expect that the substitute lineup, which was rarely able to start the game, actually defeated Bristol Rovers in Bristol.
The score of 7:0 made the fans not only look askance.
Although the opponent is League One's team, it is too exaggerated to be able to defeat the opponent like this with your Premier League substitute lineup!
Guardiola didn't even go there at that time. He sent the youth team coach Maresca.
Maresca, who was leading the first team for the first time, was a little nervous at first, but when he found out how vulnerable the opponent was, he calmed down.
In the end, Maresca left Bristol with a proud smile, leaving only the goal in the stadium that had been penetrated seven times.
The main lineup, which got a rare rest, will face one of the strongest opponents in the league the next day, Liverpool.
I came to Anfield Stadium again, and Li Mingyu didn't have the same shock as the first time.
This is the second confrontation within ten days. The last time EFL Cup was defeated by Manchester City, Liverpool was very dissatisfied.
Before the game, the Liverpool players made harsh words in front of the media. This time, they will definitely not let the Manchester City players leave Anfield with their heads held high.
Although I faced Liverpool twice in a row, my feeling for Li Mingyu was different.
The first game was EFL Cup. In fact, the players on both sides didn't take it too seriously.
But this is a league game, Liverpool is chasing after Manchester City, this is a very good opportunity to bring the score closer.
For Manchester City, defeating Liverpool is just a step towards winning the championship undefeated, or even winning the championship completely.
Yes, there is already such a voice within Manchester City.
We want to create a new history and win the championship.
In the 2003-2004 season, the Arsenal team had an unbeaten record of 26 wins and 12 draws, and finally won the championship trophy of the Premier League league.
90 league points is definitely not the best result for the Premier League championship, but winning the championship undefeated is the first time in the entire history of Premier League.
Looking at Europe Top Five Leagues, only AC Milan and Juventus have been able to win the championship undefeated.
From 1991 to 1992, AC Milan had an unbeaten record of 22 wins and 12 draws in the league, as well as an impressive record of 58 unbeaten games in all competitions, making AC Milan the absolute king of the Serie A league known as the "little World Cup".
In the 2011-2012 season, Juventus ended up with 23 wins, 15 draws, and only conceded 20 goals. In the end, it won the Serie A championship with an undefeated record, and it was also the first time for Juventus's Serie A's seventh consecutive championship has begun. This is also the last Serie A championship that Zebra Prince Piero won with the team.
Of course, in the history of Serie A, there is another tragic team, that is, Perugia in the 1978-1979 season, which achieved 11 wins and 19 draws, and could only be ranked second behind AC Milan.
Among AC Milan, Arsenal, Juventus, Europe Top Five Leagues, only these three teams have ever created an undefeated season and won the championship.
But no team has ever won the championship.
Manchester City, who has won fifteen consecutive league games, is the most likely to achieve this.
Because they haven't met an opponent yet in the Premier League league.
Anfield Stadium, this time it was still full, with 54,074 seats packed, and tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium, cheering for the team with their songs and cheers.
Liverpool fans can be said to be the most die-hard fans in Europe football.
In this match, Liverpool's lineup has not changed at all, it is still the same lineup when the two teams played against each other ten days ago.
In the lineup of Manchester City, the absence of Sterling and Gundogan caused discussions among fans and commentators.
These two people did not even make the final list of 18 people. Manchester City's official only gave the reason for their physical discomfort.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these two people should have been punished by Guardiola.
Regarding the tough Guardiola, everyone thinks this Guagua is really talented.
At such a critical moment, which requires a lot of player rotation and rest, Guardiola actually suspended two very important main players in his team.
This is a great opportunity for Team Liverpool.
Adding insult to injury and beating the dog in the water is the cruelest reality in competitive sports.
When passing by the players' tunnel again, Li Mingyu reached out and patted the slogan "This is Anfield" on the wall above, and whispered, "Anfield, I'm here again!"
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in Anfield Stadium and obtaining the Liverpool celebrity Xabi Alonso active skill: Spin Pass.]
Xabi Alonso, as Spain National Team's top defensive midfielder, is also the top midfielder in the entire world of football.
It seems that in everyone's memory, Alonso is a master of long passes. Throughout his career, accurate long passes are indeed his brightest highlight, but his ability is definitely not limited to long passes.
During the Liverpool period, Alonso, due to the fast pace of the Premier League league, his long pass became a very important offensive method.
After arriving at Real Madrid, Alonso's passing ability has been further developed.
Spin Pass is a new passing method developed by Alonso during the period of Real Madrid.
Spin Pass, one of the biggest advantages is to use the rotational force of the football when it lands to offset the momentum of inertia, so that the player who inserts does not need to move forward to catch the ball, but allows the football to land steadily near the original place after bouncing on the ground.
This kind of pass is extremely difficult, but the effect is excellent, allowing players on the wing more time to move and shake off the defense.
Li Mingyu likes this passing method very much, because many times, his passing is very good, but because the receiving player is a step late, the good opportunity is wasted.
After kick-off, Manchester City attacks first.
Li Mingyu After catching the ball, he couldn't wait to try out the ability he had just gained.
Looking at Mahrez's running route on the wing, Li Mingyu kicked the football underneath with his right foot. During the kick, his ankle changed to a certain extent.
The football drew a beautiful line and flew directly in front of Mahrez on the wing.
Mahrez looked at the trajectory of the football and already judged in his mind that he would not be able to catch it. After the ball landed, it would definitely bounce off the sideline.
But one advantage of Mahrez is that it is honest. Even if it cannot catch the ball, it will still run away.
Liverpool's defensive player also felt that the ball was passed too big, so he didn't run over that fast.
Looking at Mahrez running desperately, Curtis Jones sneered in his heart, he is really a fool, isn't it tiring?
The football is about to land about one meter near the sideline, but Mahrez is still about two meters away from this place, basically out of reach.
When the football falls on the ground, due to inertia, the football will definitely pop forward to the sideline.
This is a principle that all primary school students know.
But the next scene made everyone doubt their own views.
When the football landed on the ground, it did not hit the ground hard and then bounce high and off the sideline as everyone thought.
The football is like a stone. After it hits the ground, it does not bounce as high as everyone imagines, and it does not bounce towards the sideline, but bounces again on the same spot.
Mahrez's eyes are about to pop out. What kind of cool operation is this? Is the football running out of energy?
Mahrez couldn't think too much. Seeing that the football was not out of bounds, he quickly quickened his pace and stretched out his foot to touch the football.
Hey, with the touch of this kick, the football is not leaking!
Mahrez took the ball and rushed towards Liverpool's defense.
The defensive players of Liverpool, who originally thought that the ball would definitely go out of bounds, were suddenly in chaos.
