Young Genius, Unrivaled

Smack...!

As soon as the whistle blew, Chen Anno turned and passed the ball back to Rodri.

Neither side bothered with any probing.

Liverpool were like a beast let loose from its cage. The moment they gained possession, their entire forward line pressed up.

Manchester City were no less aggressive. In their 3-4-3 formation, the two wing-backs, Walker and Benjamin Mendy, charged forward at once.

Smack... smack... smack...

The ball moved rapidly at Liverpool's feet.

Rodri, Henderson, and Keita exchanged one-touch passes in succession, pushing the tempo to a frantic pace.

"Whoa...! Less than a minute into the match, and both sides have already raised the tempo!" Zhan Jun said excitedly.

"Neither team is holding anything back!"

"Hehe... this is what a top Premier League clash should look like."

In the fourth minute, Liverpool created their first threat.

Chen Anno dropped back to receive the ball, flicked it with his heel, and sent it rolling precisely into Salah's path.

The Pharaoh took off!

Salah received the ball on the right, changed direction twice in quick succession, and had already accelerated as he entered the final thirty meters.

Manchester City's left center-back, Otamendi, moved over to cover.

Salah did not slow down. He nudged the ball with his left foot, feigning an inward cut.

The instant Otamendi shifted his weight, Salah suddenly pushed the ball down the outside. Like a red bolt of lightning, he burst past along the touchline!

"Hey... Salah changes direction! He's too fast!"

Otamendi turned to chase, but within a few steps, Salah had already pulled half a body length ahead.

Seeing Salah about to charge into the box, Otamendi panicked and threw himself sideways with a sweeping tackle!

Swish...!

Salah was swept onto the turf, and the ball rolled out over the goal line.

Beep...!
