Chapter 311 Gerrard's Mistake
The Manchester City team, which was originally neat and uniform in the stands, suddenly let out a scream of panic.
Li Mingyu, who was sitting in the middle, unexpectedly made such a huge mistake.
For some unknown reason, the football that was supposed to be blocked by Li Mingyu's right foot suddenly had a small ups and downs at this moment, and the football rolled over Li Mingyu's feet.
By the time Li Mingyu realized something was wrong, the football had already rolled out about half a meter away.
Although Li Mingyu can be regarded as experienced in many battles, he was still very nervous in the first Champions League final of his career.
After realizing that he had made a mistake, Li Mingyu panicked and turned around to make amends. However, something happened that made all the Manchester City fans couldn't help but close their eyes.
Li Mingyu slipped, staggered, and fell to the ground.
De Bruyne happened to be on this side. Originally, he rushed over to snatch Li Mingyu, but unexpectedly, Li Mingyu gave him such a big gift.
De Bruyne laughed.
Li Mingyu's sudden loss of the ball left Manchester City's entire defense without the slightest warning.
There are only two loose defenders left in the backcourt and Rodri, the midfielder standing on the other side.
After De Bruyne got the ball, he made a direct pass and handed the ball to Harland who suddenly started.
The central defender Stones, who hurried back to the defense, was not Harland's opponent at all. He watched Harland crushing past him, and he couldn't reach the foul if he wanted to.
After entering the penalty area, Harland faced the attacking goalkeeper and shot a burst, so that Edson could only raise his hand and surrender.
2:2, Harland scored twice to help Real Madrid equalize the score.
The Real Madrid fans in the audience were ecstatic. Seeing Harland rushing to the sidelines with a hideous and domineering face, they shouted the name "Haaland" again.
Li Mingyu sat on the ground with a daze on his face, and didn't react for a long time.
This kind of mistake was a fatal blow to Li Mingyu. Even the Manchester City players had a trace of despair on their faces.
Could it be that this is the fate of the Manchester City team, even if a top player in the world comes, it will not be able to help the Manchester City team win the Champions League trophy?
The morale of the Manchester City team began to drop visibly to the naked eye.
Guardiola on the sidelines squatted on the ground, hugging his bald head, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The scene just now was like something out of a third-rate novel, it happened right in front of my eyes.
There was also a moment of silence and embarrassment in the live broadcast room of England Sports Station.
In today's live broadcast room, they specially invited Gerrard, the former captain of the England national team, to be the guest commentator.
Everyone was talking and laughing, thinking that Manchester City had a great chance of winning the Champions League.
But as soon as Li Mingyu made this mistake, there was a dead silence in the live broadcast room, and no one wanted to say a word.
Because, although he didn't know about the scene just now, Gerald seemed to be looking in a mirror.
In the 2013-2014 season, it was the closest season to Liverpool's first Premier League title.
Against Chelsea, in almost the same position, Gerrard missed a pass from his team-mate, tried to chase it, but staggered and slipped to the ground.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chelsea's striker intercepted the ball and easily scored a goal.
That year, it was because of the loss of this game that Liverpool continued to postpone its first Premier League title.
And Gerrard, with the sadness of no Premier League title, finally left Liverpool in the second year.
For Gerrard, this was the darkest moment of his life.
As a result, just today, at Wembley Stadium, the Premier League team Manchester City actually repeated the mistake they made back then in front of them.
The stunned Gerald didn't know what words to use to describe his mood.
At this moment, the other two commentators didn't know what words to use to make up for it.
For a while, the live broadcast room fell into silence.
"I hope Li Mingyu can stand up, at this moment, his teammates need him!"
Suddenly, a firm voice sounded in the live broadcast room.
Both commentators looked at the determined man sitting between them.
Gerald continued in his deep voice, "I know this kind of pain because I have experienced it too, so I hope Li Mingyu can stand up strong at this time."
"Don't be knocked down by this mistake, you are not me, you are the world champion, you are the World Player of the Year, you are the winner of the Ballon d'Or, you are currently the strongest player in Europe, how could you be knocked down by this mistake!"
"Stand up, touch the captain's armband on your arm, and tell your teammates in a firm tone, don't panic, the next game is the real game."
Gerald looked at Li Mingyu with firm eyes and a hint of begging.
He seemed to be talking to himself back then, and he would never forget the guilt and self-blame he felt at that moment. He didn't try to appease his teammates immediately, which caused their morale to drop, and eventually lost this crucial championship match.
On the court, Real Madrid was still celebrating wildly in Manchester City's half, and the eyes of all the Manchester City players were all looking at Li Mingyu who was still sitting on the ground with his head bowed and speechless.
Even he has bowed his head, even he has given up, even he can't do it anymore, we certainly can't do it...
Uneasiness and despair are eating up the hearts of Manchester City players.
Although the current score is tied at 2:2, the momentum is no longer on Manchester City's side.
Suddenly, the drumming of the fans stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to Manchester City's half.
Li Mingyu finally stood up.
Li Mingyu stretched his neck, looked around, and seeing the bewildered faces of his teammates, he couldn't help raising his hands above his head, applauded continuously, and then shouted loudly, "Come here!"
When the Manchester City players heard Li Mingyu's words, their hearts couldn't help but move, and they all quickly surrounded them, even their general Ederson was no exception.
In Manchester City's half, 11 Manchester City players formed a large circle.
Li Mingyu said in a deep voice, "The mistake just now is my problem, but I hope everyone can forget it!"
Listening to Li Mingyu's steady voice, the uneasiness and bewilderment in the hearts of the Manchester City players slowly disappeared.
"In the next game, I need everyone to go all out. The opponent is tough. I hope everyone can work together!"
"It's still a draw. Our next tactic is to defend and counterattack. We can't lose the ball easily, and try to control the ball at our feet. If there is no good opportunity, remember, don't force the ball to be handed over. I will be near the ball at any time. You can give the ball to me!"
"Believe in yourself, believe that we will be able to defeat the opponent!"
"The next game, let us win them, the Champions League trophy is there, I believe everyone will not give it away!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
