Even Under Pressure, Anfield Turns Hell into Paradise: City Won't Lose!

The atmosphere at Anfield was overwhelming for Manchester City, but the team's players did not back down for a moment.

According to "Sports Three", this was the day Anfield was supposed to speak. But this time, not just from Liverpool, but from many, many others. With Oasis-inspired banners depicting charge after charge. With protesting boos and whistles. With loud shouts of "cheats".

An instinctive eruption, from the bottom of the heart, noisy and feverish with anger and disgust before the match, which in the opinion of the protesters was completely justified. We saw this scene, but everything was useless and there was no result. Desira, this day became the day when City spoke louder and sent a message that no one could ignore.

With an easy and decisive victory, City stunned the fans in the Kop stand in the middle of their insults after spectacular finishes from Erling Holland, Jeremy Duko and Ryan Shirkey, and took advantage of the emotional atmosphere of the stadium to display their cold and ruthless ruthlessness. Enzo Marsca also encouraged the away fans to keep waving their inflatable bananas with a big smile.

His players, with smiling faces and raised hands, triumphantly sneered at all those who wanted to see them humiliated. This was City's sixth consecutive victory in the Premier League and the team's seventh consecutive win in all competitions, a result that showed that this dressing room, regardless of what happens to them on or off the field, intends to continue on its way regardless of the sidelines.

The victory also showed that, whether rival fans like it or not, football will simply have to get used to this situation until the entire disciplinary process is over. Those smiles and determination reflected the same joy Erling's father, Alf Ing-Holland, showed among the City fans after his son's stunning first goal.

If City doesn't fall apart after all the events that have happened in recent days, the question is whether anything but the responsible institutions can stop this team? After all, the away game at Anfield should have been where City slipped and fell, after the damning conclusions of the Independent Commission, which took nearly two years to deliver its verdict.

They entered a maelstrom of rage and chaos, though the back entrance allowed them to avoid the shouting, chaos, and fireworks that sent red smoke into the air as they entered the stadium. That too in a situation where all the accusations and criticisms, anger and feeling of injustice had been dumped on their heads and the threat of unprecedented punishments was hanging over their heads like a rope. But instead, they literally laughed at the whole thing.

They weathered the initial storm; What a storm that could be heard from the platforms and what pressure was coming from Andoni Iraola's team. They ignored all the noise; They even used the banners with the Golgar brothers' lyrics against the club they love. Once again, they put on a masterful display and as soon as Ryan Grauenbrech's second yellow card within 15 minutes put Liverpool down to 10 men, they pounced like a lion attacking a wounded zebra, leaving only its bones after swallowing its prey.

They don't seem to care what the rest of the football world thinks about them. Jimmy Kerger once again called for the expropriation of this club from the Abu Dhabi owners and emphasized: "This was not an 11-on-11 match. The difference was that they had 18-20 players at the top level. "They would not have won so many trophies without such quality in their players."

Or what Roy Keane claimed: "A person wants to be a champion with honesty and without fraud. If I were a Manchester United player and such news was published, I would be extremely disgusted by any dubious transaction or manipulation in the accounts and books." In other leagues, we point the finger at others. "When something like this happens in the English league, there should be a punishment."

Of course, that's for the future, unless City wins its appeal or successfully overturns the ruling in the next court of law. Yesterday was now; The day of the outburst of anger and hatred that slipped over the city like water on a duck's feathers and remained ineffective. Of course, there was no shortage of anger. Apart from the shouts of protest and boos, there was also a banner showing Pep Guardiola, Holland and other City players dressed as prisoners, with the words: "114 charges, guilty".

But City fans have taken the same stubborn and unyielding approach. They might have come across a banner reading "We've won all the trophies without cheating" as they exited the M62, but outside the stadium, where they waved their inflatable bananas; A symbol that harkens back to the Imrie Varadi-inspired wave of fandom in the 90s, it was time to sing. On "Love Really Hurts Without You," they sang, "Khaldoon, City is in love with you," before adding, "We're not the fools we're accused of!"

Khaldoun Al Mubarak was nowhere to be seen, but Fran Soriano, the club's chief executive, led City's delegation. For the fans, it was a show of unity against all that they knew was coming. When City's players, led by Ruben Diaz, entered the field for pre-match warm-ups, there was no filter to prevent the fans from screaming mercilessly.

Everywhere there were banners that changed the lyrics of Oasis and turned them into accusations and predictions; including "all your stars are fading" and "and finally, you really stole everything from us". Of course, the slogan "Damn cheaters, we know what you are doing" was also repeated many times.

Then, as the two teams took the field, an unrelenting wave of angry screams echoed through the stadium and reverberated through the air. After City fans booed the Premier League anthem, Diaz stressed to his team's players how they should behave in the pre-match circle. At the start of the game, every tackle of the Liverpool players was accompanied by loud screams from the spectators, and Anfield had become a fierce battleground. Chants of "you're relegated" filled the stadium as the match settled down after a frantic, exciting and ultimately uneventful start.

But these City players are of a different breed, although this is probably only the first time they have faced such a wave of protest and discontent. After Gravenbrech's dismissal, City increased the intensity of their game. A powerful and convincing show; They were simply too good. None of them can expect to win the popularity contest outside the M11 zip code. But they, like their fans, are used to turning their backs on such issues and moving on, with the same usual approach: "Work and life continue as usual."
