Chapter 259 Hat trick, king-like celebration, who is the real king at Anfield?
Liverpool fans are sighing, and Manchester City fans are also sighing.
It’s worthy of being Anfield, worthy of being a veteran giant.
Liverpool is probably the only team in the entire Premier League that can compete with Manchester City in an offensive confrontation!
At the end of the first half, Manchester City returned to the locker room with a one-goal lead.
Before leaving, Lin Quan took a special look at the Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium.
After singing for more than half an hour, the Red Army fans seemed tired.
Compared to the opening, Anfield has become much quieter! Well! That's good! In the home team's locker room, Liverpool's head coach Rogers is enthusiastically mobilizing the players.
In fact, there is no need to say much. Just one sentence "This is Anfield" can instantly ignite the fighting spirit of Liverpool players.
Especially for Liverpool captain Gerrard, he values Liverpool's honor and dignity more than anything else.
At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Pellegrini was also making the final mobilization.
"Lin, how does it feel to play at Anfield?"
"marvelous!"
"Would you like to score another goal to complete a hat trick?"
"certainly!"
Pellegrini was very satisfied with Lin Quan's answer, and then looked at Aguero.
"Akun, how does it feel to shut up the Liverpool people with a goal?"
Aguero straightened his chest and said proudly: "Very good!"
"Haha, then let's just shoot one more at them to make them shut up forever!"
"Hehe, I'm happy to do it!"
…
Pellegrini talked to each player one by one and inspired the players' fighting spirit in different ways.
When they came out of the locker room, the fighting spirit of Manchester City players was like the scorching and dazzling sun, making it impossible to look directly at them.
On the other side, the Liverpool players seemed to be burning with flames of revenge.
Obviously, both teams will continue with the offensive tactics of the first half in the second half, and no one will take a step back!
In the stands, Arsenal coach Wenger came to the scene and watched this top battle up close.
His team is about to face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final, the third time the two teams have met this season.
Arsenal were at a disadvantage in the previous two games with one draw and one loss, and in the game where they drew with Manchester City, the opponent still used a substitute lineup, which does not have much reference value.
Therefore, Wenger plans to come to the scene to see Manchester City’s recent condition and see if they have any problems such as a decline in form due to the drag of fighting on three fronts.
There is no reason why Arsenal collapses at the end of every season without other teams collapsing!
Manchester City has just as many games as Arsenal this season, and their schedule has been even more intensive than Arsenal's in recent times, which has given Wenger some expectations.
Arsenal have no chance of winning the league title this season, but if they can win the FA Cup, that would be good. Although the FA Cup is not as important as the league, it is much more important than the League Cup.
Arsenal have been trophyless for ten years!
Unlike Liverpool's 20-year championship drought, their 10-year championship drought is truly a championship drought.
Liverpool just can't win the league championship, but they have a Champions League trophy, in addition to 4 League Cups and 3 FA Cup trophies.
In contrast, Arsenal has not won the league, Champions League, FA Cup or even the League Cup.
Arsenal cannot continue to be without a trophy. If this continues, the morale of the team will probably be completely lost.
Therefore, no matter what, we must win the FA Cup this season.
"Let's fight to the death with Liverpool!"
Arsenal is unable to win the championship, so it doesn’t matter to Arsenal who wins or loses this game.
Wenger's only hope is that Manchester City can consume more energy in the match against Liverpool, so that they will have a better chance of winning in the FA Cup semi-final in a few days.
As if Wenger's thoughts were heard, Manchester City and Liverpool played a fierce battle in the second half.
In the 55th minute, Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City's clearance error and Coutinho scored another goal to help the team equalize the score again.
The score on the field became 3:3!
Manchester City quickly responded!
In the 61st minute, De Bruyne scored directly from a free kick, changing the score to 4:3!
In the 67th minute, Lin Quan scored with a long shot, completing a hat trick and helping Manchester City change the score to 5:3, while expanding their lead to 2 goals.
After scoring the goal, Lin Quan once again made the same move he had made at Old Trafford – he raised his collar and looked around the stadium. Who is the real king of Anfield?
This arrogant attitude made the Red Army fans at the scene boo wildly! This kid is too arrogant, he actually wants to be the king at Anfield! But their boos seemed so pale and powerless in front of Lin Quan's hat trick.
Boos can't kill your opponent, but goals can!
Compared to the angry Liverpool fans, Manchester City fans were very happy at this time.
"Emperor Lin is so domineering!"
"Haha, I like Emperor Lin's hat trick celebration!"
"Give Emperor Lin's celebration a name!"
"So it's called a king's celebration?"
"It doesn't sound good, Ronaldo's name is SIU, Lin Huang's name should be king!"
"Why is it called the King's Celebration? Is there any meaning behind it?"
"Because Cantona used this celebration, and Cantona's nickname is the King!"
“Haha, Cantona probably never imagined that Lin Huang not only used his celebration move, but also used it against Manchester United!”
"Cantona seemed to have mentioned this matter when he was interviewed by a reporter. He said he wanted to have a good chat with Lin Huang!"
"Haha, what are you talking about? Copyright fees?"
“By the way, have you noticed? It seems that Emperor Lin only celebrates in this way when facing top giants and after completing a hat trick!”
"It seems so. This season, Lin Huang has scored several hat tricks in the Premier League. Except for the one against Manchester United and this one, he has never used such a ostentatious way of celebration!"
"In other words, this method is specifically aimed at wealthy families?"
"Including this game against Liverpool, Lin Huang has already completed a hat trick in the home stadiums of two giants!"
“Manchester United (get√), Liverpool (get√), the next Chelsea or Arsenal?”
"Gun fans are trembling!"
"Car fans are trembling with fear!"
"Emperor Lin, please don't come over here!"
…
As the top battle for the championship at the end of the season, a lot of people watched this game.
In addition to the more than 50,000 fans who came to watch the game in person, there were hundreds of millions of fans watching the game on the Internet and on TV.
Although this data is not as good as the exaggerated record of 1 billion viewers watching the match between Manchester United and Arsenal in the 2007-08 season, it is still a very good ratings in the Premier League in recent years.
This is especially rare and valuable for a new team like Manchester City, which has little foundation and a small fan base around the world.
Of course, many of these fans came for Lin Quan.
Including some German fans, some Spanish fans and a large number of Chinese fans.
If Manchester City did not have Lin Quan in the team, the ratings would probably drop by half.
After all, the five major leagues are coming to an end. When it comes to the intensity of the championship race, it is obvious that La Liga is more intense and exciting.
In the last few rounds of the league, the three giants of La Liga were very close in the score, and all three teams had hopes of winning the championship.
Therefore, for fans, this season's La Liga championship battle is very exciting!
In comparison, the Premier League is a little less interesting, after all, Manchester City's lead is too big.
However, for the audience who chose to watch this game, this game is definitely worth the price of admission! In just over 60 minutes, the two teams had already scored 8 goals, an average of one goal every 8 minutes.
Such a goal-scoring battle made the neutral fans scream with excitement!
But the fans of Liverpool and Manchester City were terrified and their moods went up and down like a roller coaster.
The Blue Moon fans only felt relieved after seeing Manchester City expand their lead.
With this score, it’s impossible for Liverpool to come back, right?
The score of 5:3 almost made the Red Army fans at Anfield despair!
They finally scored a goal, but the other team scored two goals in quick succession.
Every time I see a little bit of hope, it is immediately extinguished by the other party.
Why is Manchester City so difficult? Although the opponent is wearing a blue jersey, Liverpool fans can only see the Red Devils at a glance.
The Manchester team is really haunting. After Manchester United was defeated, Manchester City rose again! It’s really difficult for me, Liverpool!

Liverpool is worthy of being the team that created a miracle in Istanbul. They are indeed very resilient.
If a normal team encounters this kind of game where they try to equalize the game time and time again but keep falling behind, their morale and fighting spirit will probably be worn out by falling behind time and time again.
But Liverpool didn't! Under Gerrard's leadership, even though they were two goals behind, they still tenaciously launched an attack on Manchester City.
Suarez, who had not scored a goal yet, was very active at this time.
In the 72nd minute, a conflict broke out between the two during a scramble for the ball with Manchester City defender Zabaleta.
Suarez had long been unhappy with Manchester City's defenders, and at this moment he was completely enraged. In desperation, he opened his bloody mouth and bit towards Zabaleta's shoulder.
Zabaleta was about to return to his defensive position when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder and immediately let out a scream.
The referee quickly stopped the game, ran over and showed Suarez a red card, sending him off the field.
Suarez has a history of biting people. Last season, he bit Chelsea defender Ivanovic during a game and was banned for 10 games by the FA.
The referee did not notice his foul in that game and did not make a timely decision, which caused a lot of controversy after the game.
So, since then, the referee officiating at Liverpool has had an additional job: keep an eye on Suarez and don't let him bite anyone!
The season was almost over, and Suarez had been behaving fairly well since his return from suspension, without any such bad behavior.
The referees thought he had turned over a new leaf.
I didn't expect this guy would dare to do it again!
This time, the referee will definitely not miss the call and will definitely not show mercy to him.
Suarez was not satisfied with the referee's decision. He seemed to be chattering about something and was unwilling to leave the field.
Gerrard didn't know what conflict broke out between Suarez and Zabaleta, but when he saw Suarez receive a red card, he hurried over to dissuade Suarez.
"Luis, stop talking, forget about today's unpleasantness, and go off the court to rest!"
That’s all I can say.
Last time he bit someone he was suspended for ten games, and this time the punishment might be even heavier.
Suarez had already made up his mind to leave, and if he is suspended at this time, the possibility of him leaving will be even greater.
Gerrard has worked with many players and he is very clear about Suarez's strength. He is one of the best forwards in the world!
For Liverpool, the offensive firepower provided by Suarez in the frontcourt is indispensable.
Once Suarez leaves, Liverpool's offensive firepower will inevitably decline.
This means that if Liverpool fails to make targeted signings to strengthen the team during the summer transfer window, its performance next season is likely to decline.
Thinking of this, Gerard couldn't help but sigh.
Liverpool's performance has finally improved this season and there is hope of winning the championship.
Unfortunately, they met the upstart Manchester City! It would be fine if they met Manchester City. Even if they can't do well this season, if they keep this lineup, they will still have a chance next season.
However, Suarez is leaving. Once he leaves, it will be difficult for Liverpool to win the championship again.
As the captain of Liverpool, Gerrard has played for the team for so many years, but he has not been able to bring even a league championship trophy to the team. This makes him feel very guilty and annoyed.
He is already thirty-four years old and I'm afraid he won't be able to continue playing for Liverpool for much longer.
Before he retires, Gerrard's biggest wish is to see the Reds win the league trophy again.
But after taking a look at the young faces of Manchester City opposite, Gerrard shook his head.
I'm afraid this wish cannot be realized.
Without Suarez, Liverpool's offensive momentum immediately weakened by more than half and they were unable to change the score.
Manchester City was satisfied with the result. They scored 5 goals at Anfield, breaking Liverpool's record of conceding the most goals at Anfield in nearly 20 years.
Since Liverpool were defeated 0-8 by Huddersfield and 1-9 by Birmingham City at home, Manchester City has no chance to give the Reds a new record.
Otherwise, they would really be interested in giving it a try.
In the end, thanks to Lin Quan's hat-trick, Manchester City defeated their direct league rival Liverpool 5:3 away from home in this top battle.
After the game, Manchester City's lead over Liverpool expanded to 10 points, but because Chelsea won away in this round, their points surpassed Liverpool and came in second place.
So Manchester City is now 9 points ahead of the second place, and with four rounds left in the league, as long as they win the next game, they will basically win the championship in advance.
Manchester City is getting closer to its second league title! …
Just when Manchester City defeated Liverpool and expanded their lead in the league.
However, a very interesting thing happened in La Liga.
When Manchester City used the long pass tactic to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League, the BBC praised this tactic in a report and believed that this tactic could restrain Barcelona.
As if believing the BBC's brainwashing, a La Liga team that does not want to be named plans to try out Manchester City's long pass in the next game against Barcelona to see if it is really effective.
As a result, they actually succeeded. The Barcelona players had just been defeated by Manchester City using this tactic, and when they saw their league opponents also using this trick, they instantly panicked.
Their defenders and midfielders seemed to have remembered the fear of being dominated by Manchester City, and they played very awkwardly in the game, neither daring to go forward nor to retreat.
In the end, they were defeated 1-0 by Granada, which was much weaker than them! In the final sprint of the championship, Barcelona unexpectedly failed.
It would have been fine if everyone lost, but Real Madrid beat Almeria 4:0 at home and Atletico Madrid beat Getafe 2:0 away, both getting the crucial three points.
So, after the game, Barcelona, which was originally only one point behind Atletico Madrid, was left 4 points behind by the opponent.
Even Real Madrid, who had been directly defeated by them in a strong confrontation before, surpassed Barcelona in points and rose to second place in the league with this victory.
If this score difference remains until the last game, it will be a very embarrassing situation for Barcelona: if they draw or even lose to Atletico at home, they will have to watch the opponent win the championship at their home court.
But if they beat Atletico, they will give the league title to Real Madrid, which has a huge goal difference advantage! Either of these two results is unacceptable to Barcelona.
But they didn't have the initiative, who told them to let down the team! After the game, those Barcelona fans who were originally dissatisfied with Martino's loss in the Champions League completely lost their patience with Martino.
This guy has been with the team for one year and has broken many records of Barcelona: the first time in nearly six years that the league ranking has fallen out of the top two, and the first time in nearly six years that the Champions League has failed to reach the semi-finals! The old foundation of the Dream Three Dynasty is about to be ruined by this guy!
As a result, calls for the club to change coaches are growing louder and louder.
After losing the support of the fans, Martino's good days at Barcelona are basically over.
After the end of this season, even if Martino insists on staying in the coaching position, Barcelona is likely to fire him.
But what happens after Martino is fired?
Who are they going to hire to coach Barcelona? Enrique, the head coach of the youth team, has left. Are they going to bring him back?
Instead of inviting Enrique back, it would be better to invite the meritorious coach Guardiola back.
Guardiola has only been gone for two years, but Barcelona fans have already begun to miss the glorious four seasons that Guardiola coached.
However, Guardiola is doing well at Bayern, leading the team to the semi-finals and is about to reach the final.
If we ask him to come back at this time, will he come?
