Tottenham Hotspur scored in the opening kick-off, an unexpected circumstance that completely tilted the balance of the game from the start.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp sat in the dugout, his legs crossed and he looked like he was in the chest, the team now seemed to be under siege by Manchester City, but he could see that in reality the Manchester City did not really threaten the team's goal.

'Manchester City seem to have taken the initiative and are trying to put pressure on the Tottenham Hotspur goal, but to no avail. Mortensen shook his head and said, "This kind of statistical advantage doesn't work, Manchester City have to be real." ”

At this time, a dramatic scene suddenly happened on the field.

Manchester City were in attack, so most of Tottenham's players returned to the vicinity of their penalty area. At this time, Kolarov took the ball to the bottom line on the side, he passed the football into the penalty area, Manchester City striker Balotelli received the ball, he shot directly, after the football was blocked by the goalkeeper, Yang Fan grabbed the ball in front of other players, it was difficult for him to shoot directly from his position, Yang Fan turned around, he just turned his body, he fell to the ground, Tottenham Hotspur's central defender Dawson hurriedly kicked the end of the football. That's when he heard the referee's whistle.

"Gallas knocked down Yang Fan from behind! It's a penalty!" Mortensen immediately shouted. "The referee not only awarded a penalty to Manchester City, but also showed Gallas a yellow card!

The director immediately turned the camera to Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp, who appeared extremely angry, shouting from the sidelines to protest the decision, causing the fourth official to come and stop the emotional manager.

Then the camera gave Balotelli, and the commentator Lineker also smiled, "Yang Fan created a penalty, who will take this penalty? Yang Fan himself will take the penalty? Or will Balotelli have a chance to take a penalty? Before the game, the Italian said that he wanted to score, and the penalty was a good opportunity." ”

'It was a great chance to score and I don't know if City will let Balotelli take the spot. The Manchester City players seemed to be looking after the young Balotelli in today's game, giving him the ball and looking for a goal. ”

Tottenham Hotspur's players were extremely unhappy with referee Webb's decision.

As the players gathered around the referee to protest the complaint, the Manchester City players embraced. This penalty was too important for them, too timely, and it couldn't be scored for a long time, and the morale and confidence of the players had been affected.

Yang Fan walked to the penalty spot, he held the ball at the penalty spot, took two steps back, but suddenly turned his head and shouted Balotelli.

"Mario. You kick the ball. He pointed to the soccer ball in front of him.

Balotelli was a little surprised, and he pointed to himself, "Me?"

Yang Fan nodded.

If it was another player, he might have been humble, but Balotelli didn't feel embarrassed, he grinned at Yang Fan, "Boss, I love you." ”

Saying that, he was going to come over and kiss him, Yang Fan hurriedly stopped this kid, buddy is a normal person.

Balotelli stood at the penalty spot.

Yang Fan is like a leopard ready to shoot, he is ready to shoot, he gave up the penalty to Balotelli, however, this does not mean that Yang Fan can just wait to celebrate his teammate's goal, he also needs to be ready to make a follow-up shot, once Balotelli's penalty is unfortunately saved, he must seize the opportunity to make a follow-up shot. This is the thirst and professional sense of a shooter in his bones.

Referee Webb blew the whistle and Balotelli ran and shot at goal, he shot into the bottom left corner of the goal, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Cudicini completely misjudged the direction and he pounced in the opposite direction.

The ball went into the net without any suspense.

1:1, Manchester City equalised.

“！”

'Balotelli, he scored, he scored the penalty, congratulations. ”

Yang Fan conceded the penalty to Balotelli, and he lived up to expectations. ”

'Well, well, now Balotelli has scored, he's done what he said, he's scored. The London commentator said with some depression, "However, the way the penalty is scored seems unconvincing." "He's still quibbling.

After Balotelli scored, he stood in place and made a bodybuilder's movement, but the expression on his face was dull, which really didn't match the style of painting.

Manchester City equalised with 31 minutes played, but the final score of the first half was not 1-1 as Tottenham Hotspur scored again.

A minute of stoppage time, Modric and Gareth Bell played on the wing, he won the ball at the back, and then passed diagonally to Gareth Bell in front, he continued to run forward after passing the ball himself, and Gareth Bell passed the ball to him again, and the two made a two-one.

Modric got the ball and dribbled on the sideline, he was in no hurry to break through, he was waiting for Gareth Bell to cut in. When Garethbell ran in front of him, he made another diagonal pass, followed by himself to accelerate forward sprint, Garethbell passed the ball to him again, two consecutive two-by-one!

Modric, who received the ball again, faced the defense of Manchester City's central defender Kolo Toure, and suddenly made a sharp stop to change direction and turned to the middle, which made Kolo Toure unexpected, it was too late to turn quickly, he just wanted to foul and couldn't make it. Followed by Modric to take the ball forward, then slightly adjusted his pace and angle, and volleyed!

No one could stop the goal, and the ball went straight into the goal, 2:1!

The Manchester City fans at Manchester City Stadium were silent at this moment, and only the screams of Tottenham Hotspur fans remained in the stadium, and many Tottenham Hotspur fans continued to shout at Manchester City fans: "Lose the championship!

This scene is indeed surprising to many people, because there is no hatred between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, the two teams are not old enemies, and there is no new feud, so it stands to reason that such a thing will not happen.

Of course, some people have guessed what some Tottenham fans think, although Tottenham Hotspur is not a traditional Premier League giant, but it is also a traditional powerhouse, before Manchester City became a local tyrant, Tottenham Hotspur had enough confidence and capital to show off in front of Manchester City, now it is good, the local tyrant Manchester City began to rise under the power of capital, and now it is amazing, the Champions League reaches the semi-finals, and the league may also win the championship, which is a great stimulus for Tottenham Hotspur, if Manchester City, a local tyrant team, wins the Premier League championship this season, this will undoubtedly make many Tottenham fans jealous。

The goal was a huge blow to the fans and players of Manchester City.

A minute later, referee Webb blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and Manchester City temporarily trailed Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 at home.

Seeing Tottenham Hotspur score again in the final moments of the first half, leading by one goal to end the first half, many Manchester reporters complained there.

'Roberto Mancini has a tactical problem, he's not ready to fight Tottenham for bayonets. ”

'Conceding a goal in the opening game made City unprepared, didn't they plan to concede too early?'

In fact, don't look at Mancini now leading Manchester City to the last four of the Champions League, it looks favored, and the media is also touting Mancini, but, in fact, the media has to do it for the time being, the media in England has never really accepted and recognized Mancini, as long as Manchester City has any trouble, the media will immediately criticize Mancini.

In the British media, there is a general opinion, that is, don't look at the star-studded Manchester City from the lineup, but football is not a group fight, and the number of stars may not work. You know, Ferguson has always been good at putting pressure on his title rivals. Do you remember that in the 95/96 season, Newcastle once led Manchester United by 12 points? The legendary footballer, who helped England break a 30-year winless streak, was so angry that he lashed out at Ferguson and swept away his emotions. The reason is only because Ferguson said: Keegan will have to train for a few more years if he wants to win the championship.

As an Italian, coach Mancini's connections, status, and background in English football are not at all comparable to Keegan, let alone Ferguson. In dealing with Tevez, he exposed the weaknesses of his character. Mancini's prestige was tarnished by refusing to shake hands with Tevez and then having to give Tevez a chance in certain matches under pressure from results.

In addition, and most importantly, in the UK, there seems to be a popular opinion, that is, Manchester City's current excellent performance, not because the manager is very good, but because Manchester City has Yang Fan, and the commentator Castel King, who is known for his spicy words, even said that even if he is replaced in the Manchester City dugout, it will not be much worse than Mancini, as long as Manchester City has Yang Fan on the field.

This is a kind of disregard and humiliation of the manager's work, and it is also a disrespect for the efforts of other Manchester City players, Yang Fan, as the captain of Manchester City, has said many times in an interview that the team is a whole, and the results are the result of everyone's efforts, but this is a somewhat unfair view for the head coach Mancini, but it seems to be very marketable.

"The Times" bluntly said that if there is such a discussion, we can only blame Mancini's previous resume for not reaching the level of excellence that makes some people shut up, and Yang Fan is really good.

ps: The new book "The Godfather of the Stadium" has been released at the starting point, and everyone has a lot of support.
