Chapter 787: Walking on the Right Path
As the ball slowly dropped into the net, the entire stadium fell into a moment of silence, with only a small group of blue figures in the northwest corner erupting into cheers, which sounded particularly harsh to Liverpool fans.
"Manchester City takes the lead, Wang Feng has conquered Anfield!" the commentator said, "It's been a long time since he wreaked havoc on this stadium, but I believe many old fans won't forget."
"On this day, people finally recall the fear he once dominated, and the countless times they suffered shame from being overturned!"
The players who once faced off against the Chinese superstar have all left the team, with Gerrard even announcing his retirement in November last year.
But it doesn't matter; Wang Feng will leave an indelible impression on these newcomers as well.
As in the past, the fans still sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" loudly to cheer on the home team, but there was a tragic feeling to it.
After the restart, Liverpool's situation didn't improve, as Manchester City firmly controlled possession and penetration, keeping the rhythm firmly in their hands.
To avoid being caught on a quick counterattack, when attacking, the Citizens didn't rush to send the final pass but waited for opportunities with more patient back passes, as the urgency was on the opponents.
After taking a shot, except for Aguero, all other players quickly retreated to defend, with the Argentine striker staying up front to distract and restrain the Liverpool defense to some extent.
Due to Manchester City's excellent control, Liverpool couldn't create effective attacking opportunities and could only try to threaten with long shots from outside the penalty area, gradually tilting the balance of victory towards the away team.
As the first half was about to end, De Bruyne dropped back to get the ball and suddenly sent a clever through pass, finding Wang Feng in the right rib area of the frontcourt, facing defender Milner.
He feinted to go to the bottom, then used a clever Cruyff turn to cut inside into the penalty area.
"Wang enters the penalty area! He can shoot!"
At this moment, the Chinese superstar saw a blue figure rushing up from the other side, obviously, his side was tightly defended, leaving a large gap on the other side.
So he didn't hesitate to send a square pass, the ball passed through Clyne and Matip accurately and arrived at the far post.
Sane, who caught up, couldn't believe there was actually a chance, he instinctively lifted his right foot and gently pushed the ball with the inside of his foot, and it wobbled into the empty goal.
"Goal! Leroy Sane! He helps Manchester City expand their lead!"
After the surprise came joy, Sane raised his arms high and then rushed to the sideline, sliding all the way to the corner flag area, paying no attention to the booing and cursing of the home fans.
It must be said that the turf at Anfield Stadium was really smooth to slide on, the thought suddenly popped into the mind of the German youngster.
Soon, his teammates also rushed over to surround him, Sane excitedly said, "Wang, your pass was so timely, oh my god, can you really see me through the dense defense?"
Wang Feng smiled and patted his head, "Playing football isn't just about feet, haha, how about it, this stadium isn't so scary, right?"
As time came to the second half, Manchester City, who had been smoother as the game progressed, scored their third goal. This time, Silva and the Chinese superstar cooperated continuously to kill into the penalty area and then returned the ball with a triangle.
Fernando shot fiercely near the penalty spot, piercing Mignolet's goal for the third time.
In the end, Manchester City won 3-0 away to Liverpool, and Anfield was completely conquered.
At this moment, apart from the heartbroken Liverpool fans, countless Chelsea fans were also lamenting, is there really no one who can stop the Citizens? fre ewebn ovel
They still have one peak showdown with Manchester City, but even if they can win, they can't reverse the situation.
And in the upcoming schedule of Manchester City, there are only two challenging teams left, Arsenal and Chelsea, winning any one of them would basically secure the top spot in the league.
"Manchester City lays the foundation for the championship!" England's "The Times" also believes so. They pointed out in their report that Manchester City's complete victory over Liverpool means they are getting closer and closer to the Premier League title.
In the matches against the other five teams in the leading group, Manchester City has achieved an excellent record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. This is the capital for them to continue to dominate the standings.
And in these matches, Wang Feng has shown a high level of performance, contributing 5 goals and 5 assists in total.
"The Chinese superstar knows best how to gain an advantage in the title race. He never hesitates in clashes between strong teams, whether it's the Inter Milan period battles against Milan and Juventus or the Real Madrid period clashes against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, he always delivers heroic performances."
"The Manchester Evening News" said that after the battle with Liverpool, Manchester City will most likely win their fifth English top-tier league title, the third Premier League title.
The downfall of the Red Devils is heartbreaking. They invested a huge amount of money in the summer but still linger outside the Champions League spots. On the other hand, the Citizens also spent a lot of money, but they used it all effectively.
New signings like Sane and De Bruyne have performed exceptionally well, and Wang Feng has also proven that he deserves to be the highest-paid player in the world.
Entering March, it was the crucial period of the 12-team competition for the Chinese national team, and the main players returned one after another.
In the sixth round, they welcomed the challenge of the South Korean team at home. Head coach Lippi rarely put Wang Feng directly into the starting lineup, aiming to quickly kill the opponent.
Not disappointing the Italian, just five minutes into the game, the Chinese superstar continuously played with three defenders in the frontcourt and then passed to the far side.
Unmarked Wu Lei volleyed the ball fiercely and instantly pierced the South Korean team's goal.
After that, the home team clearly felt that the visitors' defensive actions became more rough and vicious, but the referee and Wang Feng wouldn't indulge them.
The Chinese superstar scored two direct free kicks in a row in the opponent's half, completely breaking through their defense, making it impossible for the opponents to win by playing dirty.
In the second half, Feng Miao's long shot from outside the penalty area further widened the advantage, and the South Korean team only managed to score a goal in the last moments, with the final score fixed at 4-1.
Five days later, in the seventh round, the Chinese team challenged Iran away.
In the first half, a quick counterattack, Huang Hu broke through to the edge of the goal and crossed, Dong Fangzhuo headed the ball in and scored the first goal for the away team.
In the second half, Wang Feng came off the bench. He retreated to the midfield to receive Zheng Zhi's direct pass, flicked the ball with the heel to Feng Miao, and then moved forward with Feng Miao and Wu Lei, continuously passing and moving forward.
Facing defensive blocks, he used a shoulder feint to easily get past and then shot with a lob, scoring 2-0! This result remained until the end of the game.
After this match, the Chinese team stood at the top of the table with 6 wins, 1 draw, and 19 points, while Iran ranked second with 3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, and South Korea third with 2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, and 8 points.
There are still 3 rounds of matches left in the 12-team competition. The top two teams in the group will directly advance to the World Cup, which means that the Chinese team has locked in an early berth, returning to the highest stage after missing out on the previous edition!
The whole country was jubilant for a while, with fans taking to the streets to celebrate, and many elderly people even had tears in their eyes.
They witnessed the grand scene of the Chinese team lifting the World Cup trophy seven years ago, and also experienced the shame of being eliminated in the first round of the Asian qualifiers five years ago.
And now everything is back on track, the team will once again launch an assault on the top of the world!
