Ua hōʻea ʻo Manchester City lāua ʻo Liverpool i ka hopena no ka lua o ka manawa i loko o ʻehā mau kau, me ka makemake maoli e lanakila i ka Premier League.
E hana hou ʻia ana kēia manawa kaulana i nā tausani manawa ma waena o kēia lā a me Mei e hiki mai ana, akā e ʻike ʻia ana ka mea nāna e hāpai i ka inoa Premier League.
Ua lanakila ʻo Liverpool iā Southampton 2-1 i ka pō Pōʻalua, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo kā lākou kaua ʻelua me Manchester City i loko o ʻehā mau makahiki e hele i ka lā hope loa. E like me ka makahiki 2019, ke hoʻokūkū nei nā hui ʻelua no ka makana nui loa ma ka pôpeku Pelekane, ʻo Manchester City ka punahele.
ʻO Aston Villa, nāna i lanakila iā Steven Gerrard ma ke kahua pāʻani ʻo Etihad i ka Lāpule, e hōʻoia i ka mālama ʻana o ke kahua pāʻani ʻo Etihad i ka makana Premier League no ka hā o ka manawa i loko o ʻelima mau kau. Akā inā hewa ʻo Guardiola mai waho, hiki iā Liverpool ke kali e lele i nā Wolves i waho o ke ʻano ma Anfield.
Me hoʻokahi wale nō helu ma waena o nā hui ʻelua, ua hoʻoholo ka līkī e pāʻani nā luna i ʻelua mau pāʻani: ʻo Richard Masters, ka luna hoʻomalu o Manchester Prem, a me Peter McCormick, ka luna hoʻomalu o Merseyside. E waiho ʻia ana kahi kope o ka makana ma Liverpool me McCormick a ua mākaukau nā mekala hakahaka he 40 e kālai ʻia.
E loaʻa iā Manchester City kahi kahua pāʻani maoli i loko o kā lākou kahua pāʻani a hoʻolālā e kālai ʻia ka hui kūpono a me ka inoa ma nā mekala a me nā makana ma hope o ka pāʻani. Inā lanakila kekahi ʻaoʻao, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā hoʻolālā a hāʻawi ʻia i ka hana like, me nā "poʻokela kaiāulu" e hāʻawi ana i ka makana i ko lākou mau kāpena.
Ua makemake nui ʻo Liverpool e lawe i ka heihei poʻokela i ka lā hope loa, e lanakila ana i kahi ʻokoʻa helu pālua e hiki ai i nā hoʻokūkū nui ʻekolu. I ka hoʻokūkū hope loa, ua hāpai lākou i ka FA Cup ma hope o kahi pana hoʻopaʻi, e koi ana iā Jurgen Klopp e hana i nā hoʻololi koʻikoʻi no ka pāʻani līkī e kūʻē i ka Saints.
Ua wehe ʻo Nathan Redmond i ka helu no Southampton, e hoʻonui ana i nā manawa kūpono o City e lanakila me ka ʻole o ka pāʻani ʻana i kahi pōpō ʻē aʻe. Akā ua hōʻemi nā pahuhopu mai Takumi Minamino lāua ʻo Joel Matip i ke alakaʻi i hoʻokahi wale nō helu, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he lanakila nui ko nā alakaʻi o kēia manawa ma ka ʻokoʻa pahuhopu.
ʻAʻole paha e kūlike nā kūlana me ia, akā ke lana nei ka manaʻolana o Jurgen Klopp a ke koi nei ʻaʻole ʻo ia e oki inā ua kau nā kāmaʻa ma kona mau wāwae: "Inā aia wau i kahi kūlana ʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole au makemake i koʻu wahi i kēia manawa. Nā Poʻokela ʻO ia wale nō," wahi a Klopp.
"Mai koʻu manaʻo, ʻo ka lua o ka manawa āu e manaʻo ai e lanakila ʻo City i kēia pāʻani, ʻoiaʻiʻo. Akā he pôpeku kēia. ʻO ka mea mua, pono mākou e lanakila i ka pāʻani. hiki ʻAe, ʻaʻole hiki, akā hiki. Ua lawa."
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka lanakila ʻana o Liverpool i ka hoʻokūkū poʻokela he mea nui ia i ka mōʻaukala i hala iho nei ʻoiai ʻaʻohe alakaʻi o ka Premier League e nalowale i ka līkī ma mua o ka lā hope loa. ʻO ka hanana hope loa i hana ʻia i nā Reds iho i ka makahiki 1989, i ka wā i lanakila ai ʻo Arsenal iā lākou ma ke ʻano kupaianaha ma muli o kahi pahuhopu hope mai Michael Thomas.
E kiʻi i kahi nūhou Mirror Football manuahi me nā poʻomanaʻo nui o ka lā a e kiʻi pololei i ka nūhou i kāu pahu leka uila
