Chapter 84 Hat-trick Captures Anfield! He's not just a little Ronaldo, he's the one and only Emperor Yi!
After being tied again, the Liverpool players' mood became very complicated.
Especially Carragher.
The England defenders discovered that Liu Yi, though young, was exceptionally difficult to deal with.
This height, combined with unpredictable movement and precise, lethal strikes, makes him a formidable opponent.
He's a bit like Arsenal's "Flying General" Robin van Persie.
If the transfer rumors were true, Carragher even felt that Manchester United's offer of Liu Yi plus cash to acquire Van Persie was probably not a good move.
While Van Persie is undoubtedly a mature player who can make an immediate impact, he is nearing thirty. How many more years can his peak last?
In contrast, Liu Yi's future is clearly limitless.
Dalglish, standing on the sidelines, thought the same thing.
Even when Liu Yi was still in Manchester United's youth team, Liverpool's "King" had high hopes for him.
They believed that this child would surely achieve great things in time.
If it weren't for the bitter rivalry between the two clubs, Dalglish would have even considered swapping Suarez for Liu Yi.
This idea may seem crazy, but it is not entirely unreasonable.
Despite the fact that the Chinese boy still has many problems:
For example, its speed is not top-notch.
For example, his passing was awful.
For example, his current physique would only be considered mid-range in the Premier League.
But—his potential is undeniable.
If it's a FM game, Liu Yi's PA should be at least 170.
Unbeknownst to many, Liu Yi had become the second person Liverpool fans needed to be wary of, after Rooney.
Ferguson noticed that Liu Yi was in high spirits tonight.
But at the same time, he also needs more help.
"Wayne, get ready to go on."
Rooney adjusted his shin guards, took off his long sleeves, revealing the number 10 jersey on the back.
Ferguson benched him today due to fatigue from the national team's away trip and the lingering effects of the suspension controversy.
The lord knew what was going on.
Although they say that Lee Kee is still their biggest rival.
Judging from their squad, Liverpool are currently at best a Europa League team.
It's okay to leave it for a while.
But the Anfield advantage was too great, and the red-faced, bespectacled old man understood that if they didn't go all out, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed from this intimidating home ground.
Liu Yi saw Rooney warming up.
He thought the boss felt his stamina was about to reach its limit, so he sent Rooney up to replace him.
As they walked toward the sidelines, they saw another number lit up on the electronic board held up by the fourth official.
Park Ji-sung?
at the same time.
Tens of thousands of miles away.
Chinese fans are not the only ones paying attention to this match.
And the Koreans from the Republic of Korea.
Adhering to the fine tradition of "I am older than you, I have more honors than you, so you are the junior and must bow and scrape to me."
Liu Yi was regarded as Lao Puzi's underling by the Koreans.
Just like how the Chinese are vassals of the Korean Union Kingdom.
This is not a joke.
In South Korean films and television dramas, there are many examples such as:
The Ming emperor bowed down and became a vassal of Goryeo.
I told you to call the commander of the US forces stationed in South Korea! (This is a scene reminiscent of the scene where someone kowtows and apologizes to us while wearing a bucket.)
Perhaps this is also a type of Korean-style wish-fulfillment novel.
all in all.
Liu Yi is a junior.
As a senior, Park Ji-sung should have been bossing Liu Yi around.
But the reality is—
In a recent poster shoot featuring non-English international players for Manchester United, Liu Yi was prominently featured in the center.
Park Ji-sung stood in the corner like a lackey, sporting his signature lewd smile.
And Henry Winter of The Daily Telegraph commented on Manchester United's two East Asian players.
"Liu's performance at the beginning of the season was amazing, reminding me of Berbatov last season. People always talk about their similar elegant, relaxed, and charming playing styles, but in my opinion, Liu's biggest advantage is his age. If he develops normally, we will soon see an even purer and more lethal ultimate weapon than the Bulgarian prodigy. He is like the sniper rifle in Simo Häyhä's hands, always able to make that fatal breakthrough in the fleeting gaps in the defense!"
"As for Park, he has proven himself to be an excellent combat engineer with a very successful career, but as he gets older, his ability to engage in close combat will inevitably decline."
South Korean fans were furious.
Many criticized Henry Winter for not understanding football and for disrespecting the veteran Manchester United player with outstanding achievements.
But that's just how it is.
Furthermore, Ferguson also had his considerations.
Park Ji-sung was substituted, leaving Liu Yi and Rooney as the two strikers.
The ambitions of the leader of the Red Empire are obvious.
He was eager to take a victory away from Anfield.
Liverpool's defense.
Charlie-Adam greeted Carragher.
"Captain, watch your back. I might not be able to help you for the time being."
He and Lucas had to spare some attention to deal with Wayne Rooney.
Carragher nodded.
The turbulent thoughts gradually calmed down.
calm.
It is important to stay calm at this time.
Throughout his career, he has faced countless formidable strikers.
How could I possibly be trampled underfoot by a 19-year-old kid?
KOP stands.
The fans were still singing their hearts out.
And as the competition progressed, the singing grew louder and louder.
They are singing a cheering song for Suarez.
Dadadadadadada Luis Suarez!
His name is Suarez, and he wears the famous red jersey!
When he scores a volley or when he scores a head.
I just can't get enough.
"Manchester United brought on Rooney in hopes of securing all three points at Anfield."
"Liverpool aren't satisfied with a draw either!"
"Indeed, this is what makes the Reds-Reds match so exciting."
"Neither side is willing to concede, a draw is impossible, it's all about one word: fight!"
In the live broadcast footage.
Liverpool's pace suddenly picked up.
Zhan Jun's voice also became more enthusiastic.
That's the timeless charm of football.
on the field.
Suarez dribbled forward a few steps.
He decisively passed the ball back to Gerrard, who had made a run into the box.
He himself pierced straight into the heart of Manchester United's penalty area like a sharp arrow.
Gerrard received the ball without hesitation.
Before Big Phil could block them.
A precise diagonal pass found Kuyt, who was speeding down the right flank.
At this moment, the situation inside Manchester United's penalty area changed dramatically.
Suarez accelerated sharply.
He suddenly rushed into the gap between Evans and Ferdinand.
The Uruguayan striker is not particularly fast.
But it starts up very quickly.
Kuyt is incredibly experienced.
It's like knowing you need to change positions just by patting your butt.
They understood each other perfectly.
He started with a light, lobbed pass.
The ball traced an arc.
It passed right over Ferdinand's head.
The former British Iron Guard broke out in a cold sweat.
In the blink of an eye.
Suarez launched himself into the air with a flying tackle.
Before the ball even hit the ground, he launched a desperate sliding shot!
"Suarez!"
"A shot from point-blank range!"
"De Gea!"
"You've done a great job this time!"
"Unparalleled gate-line response!"
At the critical moment.
De Gea charged forward fearlessly.
Without hesitation, he slid down and caught the ball in the same direction as Arnautovic's sliding tackle.
He used his entire body to press the ball down firmly.
A muffled thud.
The two collided violently.
Away team stands.
Manchester United fans gave De Gea a thunderous round of applause.
The young Spanish goalkeeper has been criticized for his occasional blunders.
However, its gate line reaction and attack speed are impeccable.
He's the kind of player who often makes amazing saves but occasionally misses easy ones.
"Looks like that collision was pretty serious!"
The camera gave a close-up shot of the Uruguayan striker.
The "Zombie King" was covering his mouth, rolling around in agony.
The audience's first reaction was...
Did Suarez bite De Gea in some weird spot again?
Then look at De Gea.
The duck is rolling around on the ground, clutching its crotch.
Could it be?!
A bad feeling rose in the hearts of the fans.
The camera zooms in and out again.
The team doctor enters the field.
I picked up a small, white thing from the ground.
It turned out to be Suarez's front tooth.
It was a false alarm.
You misunderstood him!
It turns out this guy was going too fast; after the collision, he fell to the ground and knocked out his teeth.
Just as the West cannot exist without Jerusalem.
Suarez also can't lose his front teeth.
The game was paused for a few minutes.
At this point, eighty minutes had passed.
Liverpool continues to relentlessly pursue Manchester United.
86 minutes.
Kuyt tried again to create some opportunities on the flanks.
But Evra intercepted the ball directly.
"Third Master" is most famous for his big mouth.
However, he has been able to dominate the left flank for Manchester United for many years.
The French full-backs are truly formidable.
Evra, who was seething with anger, was overjoyed to see Suarez lose his sharpest weapon.
Just then, I saw a figure ahead rapidly pulling away from the side of the road.
It's Liu Yi!
Push with the arch of your foot.
A surgical through ball precisely pierced the narrow gap between Liverpool's right-back Martin Kelly and center-back Carragher.
Kelly suddenly turned around and chased after him, but his heart sank as Liu Yi had already cut into the depths of the area several meters behind him like a ghost.
Liverpool's full-backs had no choice but to grit their teeth and abandon the outside, forced to collapse inside.
Liu Yi received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.
Carragher must make a difficult decision.
In modern football, defenders are naturally in a passive position.
This is especially true when facing someone like Liu Yi, who possesses the ability to deliver a fatal blow.
If we take a step back and give the latter a foothold, we can kill them instantly.
If you get too close, your opponent might get past you in one step and you'll be completely out of position.
They were lost in thought.
Carragher made the final decision.
We absolutely cannot allow him to gain space to kick in that position!
Liverpool's defensive leader pressed forward without hesitation.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!
Liu Yi lightly brushed the ball with his right foot, giving Carragher the false impression that he was going to go to the baseline.
Waiting for the moment when the two figures are about to pass each other.
Manchester United's number 19 suddenly flicked the ball with the inside of his left foot.
The ball changed direction and sped away.
Suddenly veered towards the center of the penalty area!
His figure swayed.
Liu Yi instantly twisted his body and cut in the opposite direction.
Backheel flick!
Continuing.
Turn with a quick step!
Carragher couldn't dodge in time.
Liverpool's defenders are like a heavy truck that can't turn around in time.
As he stumbled, he could only hurriedly reach out to grab the other player's jersey.
The outstretched little hand suddenly retracted.
That's not OK.
This is inside the restricted area!
At the same time that he shook off Carragher.
Liu Yi took a step forward.
The angle was adjusted slightly.
Now, it's a 45-degree angle.
In this position, Liu Yi's skills are like those of Shi Jin, the Nine-Tattooed Dragon, who was "proficient in all eighteen weapons".
There are countless ways to get the ball into the net.
Seeing this, center-back Skrtel could no longer cover Rooney.
They strode in.
A flying tackle.
They wanted to mend the fence after the sheep were lost.
It was all in vain.
Liu Yi's kicks are as fast as Morgan Arthur's in "The Wild Bunch".
Combined with superb archery skills.
He instantly curled his foot into an arc.
Ferguson could no longer contain his excitement.
The left-back passes the ball.
A backheel flick to get past an opponent.
Shoot at the far corner.
The last person to do this did it, and he won all the individual honors in one season, including the Ballon d'Or, Premier League Player of the Year, and Premier League Top Scorer.
Ferguson didn't expect Liu Yi to become a mini-Ronaldo.
He has a long way to go, but taking three points away from Anfield tonight would be enough.
Reina lunged sideways.
The soccer ball grazed his palm.
That felt like the position of the starting goalkeeper for the Spanish national team.
It is desirable but unattainable.
Casillas: Brother, I'm getting old. You'll be sitting here from now on.
Valdes: Brother, once I become the first, you'll be the second!
Reina: You two have some shame. One of you is the same age as me, and the other is a year older than me. Do you expect me to outlive you two?
De Gea: Spanish goalkeeper, are you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?!
Reina: Oh no, now even the three goals are in danger!
The thoughts in my mind vanished with a crash as my body was bound by gravity and fell heavily to the ground.
No need to turn your head.
Amidst the gasps of amazement from the audience and the furious curses of die-hard fans.
Reina understood.
They failed.
"Cut inside, shoot!!!"
"Goal!!"
"Liu Yi!!"
"hat trick!!"
"OMG!!"
"That's incredible!"
"First, a high-speed run to the wing, then a flick of the ball past Carragher, creating space to curl the ball into the far corner and score!!"
"This is just like Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"If two more come, it'll be Messi + Ronaldo!"
"It's hard to imagine that this is a feat accomplished by a Chinese player at Anfield!"
"Even today, we still talk about Tsar Arshavin's four goals, but today, another miracle occurred: a Chinese player! At Anfield! Performed a hat-trick!!!"
Liu Yi doesn't want to be China's Cristiano Ronaldo.
This title belongs to both Baihelamu and Nurfalk.
He just wanted to be the first version of himself.
Manchester United's number 19 rushed to the corner flag area.
He faced a barrage of insults from Liverpool fans.
He raised his left arm high.
He made a "six" gesture.
Then he extended an index finger.
Extraordinary Six Plus One?
No!
Instead, in that posture, the left hand is the bow and the right hand is the string.
In front of the hostile Kop stands, they made a celebratory gesture of drawing a bow and arrow.
Archery celebration gesture.
Hunter Owl unleashes his ultimate move!
Rooney was the first to rush up and pull Liu Yi into a tight embrace.
Giggs followed closely behind.
Are you here to celebrate?!
No.
They pulled this crazy kid away from the KOP stands.
The deafening insults were no longer enough.
Liu Yi received the same treatment as Yuzuru Hanyu.
However, what was thrown down from the stands wasn't the teddy bear VINI.
Instead—
A jumble of crumpled paper, a Coke cup, and fireworks.
Two or three shirtless men with red camouflage paint on their faces and Liverpool scarves on their backs even climbed over the fence, attempting to bypass security and storm the field.
Emperor Yi, I'm your fan!
Emperor Yi, please sign your autograph for me!
[Liu Yi Bar]
Currently ranked second in popularity on Baidu Tieba.
The most popular forum is 【Li Yi Bar】.
Attentive forum members noticed.
Why are the moderators of these two forums the same team?!
And just after Liu Yi scored his hat trick.
The entrance to the Baidu Tieba forum briefly displayed a 404 error.
After emergency repairs.
It turned out that everyone had posted too many messages at the same time.
[A 3-0 victory over Liverpool! Yi Di is truly awesome!]
[They dominated the "Double Reds" match, so losing by only five points in a smaller game is not unfair.]
[Finally, it's not just a neighborhood celebration! It's not like Hou Yi shooting down the suns; this time it's shooting down a pheasant!]
[Since Yi Di can't fly to national team matches, I have a plan! How about our national team moves to Manchester, and we just rent a stadium as our home ground? Then those Koreans and Japanese will have to fly 10,000 kilometers before they can play against us, hahaha!]
Among a multitude of posts praising it.
The forum moderator, 【爷傲奈我何】, pinned one of the posts.
Chang'an Flowers Bloom: [He's starting to exaggerate again. And this "Emperor Yi"? One more step and he'll be exposed. He'll just be torturing the elderly Karag.]
Angry fans immediately flooded the post, unleashing a torrent of profanity.
Later, it even evolved into the official spam thread of the [Liu Yi Bar].
Players entering the [Liu Yi Bar] forum must spit twice before leaving.
"Hey, what do you mean?! Provoking our fans?!"
Skrtel, with a fierce and menacing look, rushed over, wanting to demand an explanation from Liu Yi.
Ferdinand wasn't going to tolerate him.
A sudden push.
"Hey, they insulted Liu Yi the whole time, and now they've been slapped in the face and they're starting to feel the pain?!"
You push me, I push you.
The friction quickly turned into a conflict, and several burly men became entangled together.
Neutral fans cheered with excitement.
I just finished watching a great goal, and now I get to watch a freestyle fighting match.
Gerrard is one of the few players in the Liverpool team who has maintained his composure.
He struggled to pull the out-of-control player away from the field.
"We're still behind in the score, we can't waste time on this."
"But I just don't like that kid!"
Skrtel suddenly spat on the ground.
I feel like Liu Yi is such a show-off when he plays football!
He's not the only one who thinks so.
Many Liverpool players feel the same way.
Anfield doesn't tolerate pretentious people like that.
The issue is.
Liu Yi's arrogance wasn't an act.
He's really awesome!
Manchester United's united and determined defense wore down the remaining time.
The final whistle blew, and the score was 2-3.
Manchester United twice fell behind, twice equalized, and finally Liu Yi scored the winning goal!
Post-match interview.
"If Liu Yi doesn't win this year's Golden Boy award and Premier League Best Young Player award, then I can only say that this is the biggest conspiracy of the 21st century! It's better than crashing a plane into someone's house—" Pogba excitedly made a bold statement for his older brother in front of the media.
"Shut the hell up!" — Berbatov quickly covered his apprentice's mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.
"I'm very happy. He played a great game today, very good—very good. Time will prove his worth." — Ferguson on Liu Yi.
"I won't discuss other clubs' players, especially Arsène's players," Ferguson said, declining to comment on rumors of "Liu Yi plus money to acquire Van Persie."
"It's just a game, a loss is a loss. What we need to do is look forward and try to get back into the title race as soon as possible." — Dalglish on the comeback defeat.
"I've had my eye on that kid for a long time, but he's growing up so fast, he reminds me of Michael O'Neill."
"Sometimes I'm quite envious of Ferguson; it seems Carrington produced another batch of promising young players before his retirement." — Dalglish on Liu Yi.
"He was just lucky. I've done hat tricks countless times before."
Suarez pursed his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Journalists are professionals.
They usually don't laugh.
Unless you can't help it.
"Louis, there's something strange about the way you're talking."
Suarez subconsciously licked his gums and muttered angrily.
"Um, maybe, probably, perhaps, it's because I lost a front tooth—"
Mixed interview area.
Liu Yi could not move an inch.
He was treated like a hero.
He has answered countless questions about the significance of goals and victories.
When faced with a question posed by his old friend and former Sina Sports reporter Chen Chi, he pondered for a moment.
"Liu Yi! What do you think your goal means to Chinese players your age, or even younger?"
After a while, Liu Yi looked up.
"Thinking only creates problems, doing brings answers. This victory demonstrates that our generation, and even younger players, are fully capable of standing on a higher level. It shouldn't just be a surprise, but a beginning, and—"
Chen Chi gripped the microphone tightly, his arm trembling: "And what?"
"Moreover—this proves that we Chinese are capable of playing beautiful and exciting football!"
P.S.: I originally wanted to split it into two chapters yesterday, but it was too difficult to split, so I gave up. Then I realized it was past midnight, so I can only post it in the morning.
P.S.: I'll just post it anyway, otherwise readers will think I've disappeared. Updates will be normal tonight, two chapters a day. Please vote for me, thank you!
