Chapter 809: The Lord Goes Out of the Mountain
Yang Fan didn't pay attention to the media's hype about his emotional 'private' life, all his thoughts are now on his injury, of course, after he was injured, they actually came to visit him for the first time, which made Yang Fan very moved. (good-looking novel) - While moving, Yang Fan's mind was also 'messy', and he couldn't figure out his emotional life, thinking that this was very good, that was not bad, and he was reluctant to give up either one. I'm too lazy to get a headache, anyway, I'm still young, so it's a matter of course.
On September 22, Manchester City Club officially announced Yang Fan's injury, Yang Fan is a torn ligament in the joint, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take four months to half a year before he can return to the court.
This news also made Manchester City football 'fans' very depressed, almost at the same time, the world's major betting institutions immediately adjusted Manchester City's odds to win the championship, as well as Manchester City's odds to reach the top four, it is clear that after Yang Fan will miss such a long game due to injury, the betting agency is not optimistic about Manchester City.
A day later, Manchester City also welcomed the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Their match opponent Fulham.
In the 34th minute of the game, Fulham player Guerra suddenly volleyed a long-range 'shot', which was extremely beautiful, and Manchester City's 'goalkeeper' Given' could do nothing about it, so he could only watch the football go into the net.
Until the end of the first half, Manchester City, playing at home, was still 0-1 behind. This made the commentator also start talking about the crisis of Manchester City, and in the absence of Yang Fan, Manchester City's attacking ability is obviously not as good as before.
However, City equalised shortly after the start of the second half, and in the 52nd minute, Bellamy headed in a corner and Gareth Barry nodded home. At 1-1, City equalised the scoreline, which remained unchanged until the end of the 90-minute game.
Entering extra time, in the 111th minute, Petrov's header was ferried, and Kolo Toure, who became the captain of Manchester City after Yang Fan's injury, 'shot' into the top corner, 2-1, Manchester City finally defeated Fulham with Toure's goal and entered the next round of the League Cup.

Three days later, Manchester City face the seventh round of the Premier League against West Ham United.
Martin Petrov started for the first time this season, but Ireland was sidelined by injury, and Santa Cruz, the 'goalscorer' who returned from injury, was on the bench. Manchester City scored in just five minutes, Barry's header was crossed, Bulgarian winger Petrov burst into the left side of the penalty area and crossed, West Ham United 'goalkeeper' blocked Green in front of the point, Tevez scored from close range, 1-0.
Yang Fan watched the game from his hospital bed, and when he saw Tevez score to open the scoring for the team, he clenched his fists with excitement.
However, West Ham equalised in the 24th minute with only attacking touch, Wright Phillips sent a free kick for a foul on Noble, West Ham United's Italian Diamanti sent a free kick, Lescott barely cleared, and Kovac's subsequent 'shot' was blocked by Carlton Cole from close range into the big 'goal', 1-1.
However, City took the lead again just seven minutes later when Frenkie de Jong won a free-kick in front of the box and Petrov's free-kick went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.
The narrator is also voluminously praising Petrov, this Bulgarian is quite good today, one pass and one 'shot'.
City doubled their lead in the 61st minute when Forbert fouled Barry and Bellamy's free-kick on the left was headed home by Carlos Tevez from the edge of the six-yard box.
After Tevez scored the goal, he lifted his shirt and 'revealed' the words on the T-shirt inside, and he did the same thing as other Manchester City players, which read: Young, we are waiting for you to come back!
Manchester City's players expressed their support for Yang Fan in this way, encouraging him to fight the injury.
In the end, thanks to a brace from Carlos Tevez and a goal from Petrov, Manchester City won 3-1 at home to West Ham United.
After the game, Manchester City manager Mark Hughes was in a good mood, he refuted the media's remarks that Manchester City's attacking ability would be severely reduced without Yang Fan, "Yang Fan is important, there is no doubt about this, he is the most important player in the team, but in the absence of Yang Fan due to injury, we are still confident to maintain the attacking ability......"
After the game, Yang Fan immediately spoke on his Twitter, congratulating the team on their victory over West Ham United and thanking his teammates for their support and encouragement. Download the full collection of txt

Manchester City's 3-1 win over West Ham United also reassured Manchester City's fans, who were really worried about the team's attacking ability after Yang Fan's injury.
And in this round of the league, Manchester United, which had just beaten Manchester City in the Manchester derby, lost 0-1 away to Stoke City, which made Morse, who had just passed a crisis of confidence, once again criticized and criticized by the media.
In this regard, Moyes expressed anger, he gave examples to defend himself, the team won Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in succession, such a result, such a result, is absolutely convincing, as for the loss to Stoke City, Moyes said that it was just an accident, but also because the team has been tired recently.
For Moyes's explanation, Manchester United's football 'fans' temporarily accepted it, after all, as Moyes said, before losing to Stoke City, Manchester United won three consecutive victories, winning Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, this result is enough to satisfy the football 'fans'.
No one thought that Manchester City and Manchester United, the two teams of the city of Manchester, would be mired in a quagmire from this time on.
On October 5, in the eighth round of the English Premier League, Manchester City faced Aston Villa away.
Aston Villa took the lead in the 15th minute when Warnock headed in a corner and former Manchester City captain Dunn headed past former Villa captain Barry on the edge of the six-yard box.
Dunn didn't celebrate the goal after the goal, and the veteran has a deep affection for Manchester City, who have been 'excited' despite leaving the city, where there are some of the most memorable moments of his career.
City equalised in the 67th minute when Wright-Phillips, Irish Germany and Adebayo played back-to-back passes before Adebayor slotted the ball in.
It was also the final score of the game, with City picking up a point from Aston Villa, which was not an unacceptable scoreline.
In addition, Manchester United lost 2-1 at home to Sunderland and after the game, Manchester United manager David Moyes clashed with journalists, and the media headlines the following day were the news of United's two consecutive defeats.

On this day, Yang Fan underwent joint ligament repair surgery, the operation effect is relatively ideal, according to Manchester City team doctor Alan Law, if the recovery effect is good, Yang Fan will be able to return to the court in four months, which is a lot less than the previous estimate of half a year.
After the successful operation, Yang Fan also entered the player's copy, he found Martin, asked if there was any special means to make himself recover quickly, to which Martin's reply was that not at this stage, if after a period of time, he can start to adapt to the field training, you can do some exercises in the copy, which will help Yang Fan quickly get back to the state, and can also speed up the pace of returning to the field.
This made Yang Fan a little depressed and helpless, he also thought that the player copy system was omnipotent.
For Yang Fan's complaints, Martin was very angry, and he said that if it weren't for Yang Fan's constant training in the dungeon, which greatly improved his physical fitness, this injury would have been absent for at least half a year.
This made Yang Fan speechless, he was clear about his own situation, his physical essence was indeed very ordinary, and the training in the copy system had indeed greatly enhanced his physical element.
Now, the operation has been successful, Yang Fan can only recuperate step by step, waiting for the time to start adapting to the field training, and then exert his strength to speed up the recovery speed, he also knows that the recovery process of the 'flesh' body injury has the laws of nature, which cannot be changed, even this magical copy cannot be of much help to himself.
After the Premier League match with Aston Villa, there was a two-week international break, and the Chinese team also had a warm-up game, but Yang Fan could only be absent due to injury.
Not only will he miss this warm-up match due to injury, Yang Fan will also miss the two Asian Cup qualifiers next month, both of which will be played against Lebanon, and the Chinese team will face the Lebanese team twice home and away, which would have been the first real non-friendly game played by Yang Fan after returning to the national team, but unfortunately, he will miss due to injury.

After the international break, Manchester City travel to Wigan Athletic in the ninth round of the Premier League.
City have won just one of their eight away games against Wigan in 1998. In this game, captain Toure and striker Bellamy, who has been in good form recently, were both sidelined through injury, and Richards and Petrov were replaced. Wigan broke the deadlock in stoppage time when Scolander passed the ball and Rodalega fired a shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box that was saved by Given, and N'Zogbia stabbed it into the net before Bridge. City equalised just 65 seconds into the second half when Carlos Tevez broke through from the right and crossed for Petrov to 'shoot' into the bottom left corner from 15 yards. The Bulgarian continued his recent hot form and City also saw hope of a comeback to win the game, but in the 65th minute, Manchester City's Argentine full-back Zabaleta was sent off for a foul on Scolander and accumulating two yellow cards. It also directly destroyed the possibility of Manchester City winning the game, and in the end, the two sides drew 1-1.
And in this round of the league, Manchester United lost 0-1 at home to Bolton, the defending Premier League champion after the Manchester derby, actually lost three in a row, at the end of the game, the entire Old Trafford stadium booed, there were ball 'fans' on the scene to unfurl banners, imploring Ferguson to return to the mountain......
On October 25, in the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Fulham.
In the 54th minute, Bellamy took a corner kick, Barry poked back in front of the 'goal' from a distance, Adebayo passed, and Lescott scored the 'goal' from close range. Manchester City lead 1-1. Just six minutes later, Barry crossed back from the right side of the box and Petrov fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box. The Bulgarian scored in a row.
Commentator Eddie Gray was also singing praises for the Bulgarians, "Petrov scored consecutive goals, and in the absence of Yang Fan with an injury, the Bulgarian shouldered the responsibility of scoring for Manchester City, and he did a good job. ”
Including Yang Fan, who watched the game in front of the TV, everyone thought that Manchester City, who led by two goals, would win Fulham, but no one expected that Fulham scored two goals in a row to equalize, and only two minutes later, Fulham's player Kelly crossed, Zamora's 'chest' stopped the ball and swung back, and former Chelsea winger Duff 'shot' into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box. At 1-2, Fulham equalized the score, and six minutes later, Fulham's Granning took a long free kick from the left side into the penalty area, and American star Dempsey pressed Richards' header in the penalty area to hit the 'goal', and the ball rebounded into the net.
Two to two!
This was also the final score of this game.
After the game, the media began to take stock of Manchester City's recent games, after Manchester City's 4-5 defeat to Manchester United in the Manchester derby and Yang Fan's absence due to injury, Manchester City have won 2-1 at Fulham in the Carabao Cup and West Ham United 3-1 in the subsequent league games, and they have drawn three consecutive league games. Manchester City have also slipped to sixth place at the top of the table.
All the time, the media picked up the old topic again," Obviously, in the absence of Yang Fan, Manchester City inevitably fell into a predicament, their goals did not seem to be much of a problem, but, always conceding goals, this seems to be a problem with the back line, but, in fact, this is still a problem at the offensive end, Manchester City's defensive ability is not strong enough, this is a fact, but, when there is Yang Fan, Manchester City's attacking ability is strong enough, they suppressed the opponent, the back line is safer, now, there is no extraordinary offensive ability under the leadership of Yang Fan, which also makes Manchester City's defensive pressure greater, can score, but can not hold the victory, and finally only got three consecutive draws, this is obvious proof……”
※※※※※※※
However, Manchester City, who have drawn three in a row in the league, have been fortunate in that they have not faced much criticism because someone has taken the pressure and criticism off their shoulders.
In this round of the league, Manchester United lost 0-2 away to old rival Liverpool in a key battle, and has lost four consecutive league games.
Four consecutive league defeats are an absolute shame for Manchester United.
Moyes' departure schedule is also widely discussed in the media, with The Times stating that Moyes will eventually be sacked if he fails to win against Blackburn Rovers in the next round of the league.
However, no one expected that Moyes did not make it to the league game against Blackburn, and in the evening of the second day after the away defeat to Liverpool, Manchester United officially announced that the team's manager David Moyes was sacked.
Although Manchester United announced Moyes's dismissal at this time, it was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable, and United's four consecutive defeats in the league were definitely enough to make anyone sitting in the United dugout go of class.
What shocked people was Moyes's 'successor'.
Manchester United officially announced that Alex Ferguson, who announced his retirement in the summer, is back in charge of Manchester United, which shocked the football world.
Manchester United fans rejoiced, for Manchester United, Ferguson means so much, and if there is one person who can lead the team out of the difficult times of the team, it must be Alex Ferguson.
In fact, letting Ferguson go out of the mountain to take charge of Manchester United again is not what Manchester United's American owner wants to see, but Manchester United's recent results are really bad, and Ferguson can't bear it anymore and 'revealed' the idea of going out of the mountain, which makes the Glazer family, which is eager to repair and Ferguson because of Yang Fan's transfer incident, have to consider the possibility of the old man coming back to the mountain. It is true that Manchester United with Ferguson will constrain the rights of the Glazer family, but Ferguson can bring victory and championship to Manchester United, this old man is the godfather of Manchester United, and the glory he brings to Manchester United can eventually be converted into profit...... The Americans believe in the supremacy of profit, so they quickly communicated with Alex Ferguson and formally invited the old man to come out and save Manchester United.
After retiring, Ferguson, who thought he had arranged a future for Manchester United, was very dissatisfied with the current situation of Manchester United, and the old man was also guilty...... It is said that because of this decision, the old man and his wife are still unhappy, Mrs. Ferguson is of course reluctant to see Ferguson return to the stressful coaching job again, but she also knows that she can't stop Ferguson's love for Manchester United, as long as his body still allows, Ferguson can't 'see death without help'.
After a few months, the name of the Manchester United manager changed to Alex Ferguson again, and many people even thought that the old man had never left. The most frustrating and regrettable thing for Manchester United football 'fans' is that if Ferguson has been in the position of head coach, if the godfather has always been there, it is impossible for Yang Fan to leave Manchester United, even if the Glazer family wants to sell Yang Fan, with the old man, the Yankees will not succeed.

A day later.
Manchester, City Stadium, it's a League Cup match, Manchester City hosts Scunthorpe United.
Before the start of the game, there were huge cheers in the stands, and it was the camera that found the VIP box of the stadium, where Yang Fan appeared.
After more than a month of rest, Yang Fan is now able to walk on crutches, and he can't wait to come to the court to watch the team's game.
City quickly broke the deadlock as soon as the game began, and in the third minute, Wright Phillips passed the ball and 'shot' into the bottom right corner from the edge of the Irish box.
Scunthorpe equalised in the 26th minute when Frenkie de Jong conceded a goal in midfield and Marcus Williams crossed from the left for Fort to score from close range.
However, the gap between Scunthorpe's quality and Manchester City is really huge, and they have not been able to stop Manchester City's progress.
In the 38th minute, Zabaleta crossed and Santa Cruz scored with a header.
At the end of the first half, City were 2-1 up over Scunthorpe United.
At half-time, Yang Fan came to the team's locker room to visit his teammates, and he joked that the team only scored two goals from the stands, and he was in a hurry there, and he couldn't wait to play.
I don't know if Yang Fan's half-joking 'sexual' words stabbed the Manchester City players, and after the start of the second half, Manchester City broke out.
In the 56th minute, Wright-Phillips took a corner kick and Lescot headed it home.
In the 71st minute, the 19-year-old Waisi, who made his first appearance for Manchester City, passed the ball, and the unguarded Tevez scored the 'goal' from close range.
In the 77th minute, Lescott passed the ball, and substitute Michael Johnson scored a 'volley' and a shot.
Manchester City scored three goals in a row after the start of the second half of the game to score three goals in a row to claim a big victory.
After the game, the media also used such a headline interestingly: Yang Fan returned to the City Stadium, and Manchester City won and advanced.
