News background: In the early morning of January 15, Beijing time, the 23rd round of the 2017-18 Premier League, Liverpool 4-3 Manchester City at home, the latter suffered the first defeat of the season.
Recently, I saw a sentence that came out after the fierce battle between Liverpool and Manchester City, and felt very appropriate, "The era of realism, with the recognition of reality adapting to reality as the mainstream, and the idealistic fire of critical reality, is getting dimmer and dimmer at the far side of the era." ”
However, the ideal fire of The Red Army Liverpool has not been extinguished, even if it is "no crown" for many years, but under the leadership of Klopp, the soul of Liverpool is still there, and this spiritual wealth will not fade with the passage of time in Anfield's memory, but will become more and more tenacious in the grinding of the years.
From 1-1 to 4-1, Chamberlain, Mane, Firmino and Salah scored several goals, instantly turned into musicians and played a melodious symphony belonging to the Red Army. The meeting of the two most attacking teams in the Premier League is like a movie without urine spots in the whole stadium, and it is no wonder that some fans sigh: the highlights of this game are 90 minutes!
Prior to this campaign, City had scored sixty-four goals in 22 league games and Liverpool had fifty goals. Back at home to Liverpool, Klopp does not want to recall the embarrassment of the 0-5 away defeat in the first leg of the two sides, in the bones of the Reds, or in Klopp's mind, only revenge can be shamed!
Klopp did it, so did his disciples, and the win not only ended City's unbeaten record this season, but the Reds also played their own unique passion and exuberance. Of course, after taking a 4-1 lead, Manchester City's Bernardo Silva and Gundogan pulled back two goals in succession, which once surprised Liverpool fans in a cold sweat. If there is a draw in the end, then in the hearts of The Reds fans, what is the difference between the final and a defeat?
Some say it was the best game of the season so far. Indeed, a classic that is full of anger not only requires beautiful goals, but also in the setting of the plot and the trend of the game, it will be infinitely close to perfection. Guardiola's side have not completely lost confidence because of Liverpool's madness. In the face of the reality of the midfield losing control and successive mistakes, the Blue Moon did not easily lose morale, which also made them 1-4 behind the unfavorable moment, and they were almost able to equalize a little before the end.
Manchester City, which has maintained 20 wins and 2 draws in the previous 22 rounds, suffered its first defeat of the season this morning, and the regret of Aguero's header may still be in the regrets of Manchester City fans. But in any case, now that they are multi-line fighters, they have established a 15-point lead in the Premier League, and such a huge advantage almost ensures that it is only a matter of time before the league title is won.
In the impression of Premier League fans, the red and blue battles will always have deep memories, such as Manchester United and Chelsea, such as Liverpool and Chelsea. Now, the red and blue war has a new name, Liverpool and Manchester City, also worthy of the name! Liverpool, who are as passionate as fire, and the burning blue moon staged at Anfield, are destined to remain in the memory of fans forever!
