"City's counter-attack paid off again at a crucial moment!Balotelli!Balotelli!he scored!!Man City lead Inter Milan 3-1 at home!"
Mancini took the lead and rushed out of the dugout. Please search () to see the most complete!UpdateThe fastest cheers, this goal is too crucial.
The highest level of defensive counterattack is to let the opponent press you for a period of time, look embarrassed, in constant danger, and it looks like you will lose the ball every second, whether it is from the scene or technical statistics, you are at a comprehensive disadvantage. But......
This "but" is the essence of defensive counterattack.
But you won't concede the ball, and then at the most critical moment, you can win with a counterattack, a fatal blow, see the blood in the throat, the goal comes, seal the win or extend the win!
This is like an assassin, at a critical moment, he sees blood and seals his throat, and a fatal blow. <οΌβ
"Balotelli, Mario Balotelli!!, this is his second goal in the Champions League this season......! He was unmarked, and only needed a light block...... He succeeded!"
After the goal, Balotelli fell to his knees with open arms and looked up at the sky. Brilliant floodlights fell from the night sky, and countless white circles of light focused on him alone, and there was darkness all around, only the constant noise and applause...... At that moment, he was the protagonist on this stage.
A figure appeared in Balotelli's field of vision, who was his teammate Yang Fan, who jumped high in the air and pressed him under him before he could react.
"Wow-"
Then more Manchester City players swarmed in and pinned the two to the bottom. It's their favorite way to celebrate, whether it's pressing a teammate or a coach......
"Well done!" Yang Fan shouted.
"Hahaha, of course, who am I!" Balotelli shouted with a smile.
"Stinky boy!" Yang Fan patted Balotelli on the head.
There has been a sea of joy on the Manchester City bench, everyone hugging and hugging everyone around them. It was an exhilarating scoreline, and while it may have been a shame to have an away goal from Inter Milan, it was crucial to be able to score late in the game and extend the lead.
Contrary to the joyous atmosphere on Manchester City's side, there was silence on the Inter bench and in the coach's box. Leonardo bit his lower lip tightly. Gazing at the big screen. It was a replay of Manchester City's goal.
Yang Fan was able to pass the football out under the siege and interception of everyone, and it was such a subtle pass.
Tevez's missed ball was subtle, showing the Argentine star's talent and quality.
The rest, for Balotelli who shoots, it's simple!
Yang Fan!
Leonardo read the name fiercely in his heart, before the game he was thinking about how to prevent this person and not let this person score, Leonardo can be said to be racking his brains, now, Yang Fan scored two goals in this game, both goals are so exciting, and the third goal is Yang Fan's exquisite assist.
"Yang Fan, he scored twice today, he scored two goals can be placed in the museum for future generations to see! In addition, he also contributed an assist, two shots and a pass, there is no doubt that he is the biggest contributor to Manchester City's home win over Inter Milan today!"
There was not much time left in the game, and the commentator began to make a concluding statement and gave Yang Fan a blockbuster of praise.
At this time, Inter Milan on the field went crazy and counterattacked, and the Manchester City team did not consider attacking at this time, their current tactics are iron bucket formations, eleven people shrank in the area of 30 meters and did not come out, blocking Inter Milan's long-range shots with the fearless spirit and attitude of blocking the gun's eye.
The crowd at Manchester City has already risen from their seats. Stand shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines and count down the game. It's the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and a win would set the stage for the next leg at the Meazza Stadium, and if you can get past Inter Milan, it's the semi-finals!
At this time, there was a dead ball on the field, Manchester City made a substitution, and Yang Fan, the biggest contributor to today's game, was replaced.
Yang Fan walked to the sidelines, he did not go to the bench, but stood on the sidelines, he was looking forward to the end of the game, intending to celebrate.
The referee was already looking at his watch, and Yang Fan couldn't wait to raise his arm and make a gesture to celebrate the victory, and there were not a few people around him who were like him.
Although the Manchester City team is still embarrassed on the field. However, at the moment, no one believed that Inter would be able to score.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after Samuel Eto'o had fired the ball wide.
At this moment, the stands of Manchester Municipal Stadium resounded with the cheers of the home team's fans, Manchester City won 3-1 at home to Inter Milan in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season!
Manchester City won by two goals over defending champions Inter Milan as they secured a crucial victory in the first leg of the knockout round.
"Manchester City won their first game, which is a precious away win! Although the difference in quality between the two teams is not big, it is normal for anyone to win and who loses, but it is really seen that Manchester City won Inter Milan by two goals at home. It's still surprising...... You must know that this is only the first time that Manchester City has come to the Champions League after half a century, and Inter Milan is the defending champion! In the contest between former Inter Milan coach Mancini and current Inter Milan coach Leonardo, Mancini won one game first, but could he win the last. It will also be interesting to see the second leg at the Meazza Stadium. β
Everyone around him ran up to celebrate, and Mancini turned and walked to the Inter dugout
A handshake after a game is a procedure.
Leonardo politely congratulated Manchester City on their victory, and Leonardo's mood didn't seem too bad.
This made Mancini's smile fade a lot. He knows why Leonardo is so happy, and it's because Inter Milan got the away goal. Although the score is 1-3, Inter Milan is two goals behind, however, they got an away goal, which means, back to the home stadium Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan only needs to win the game 2-0 to be able to advance, although after the game just ended, Inter Milan also admitted that Manchester City is a difficult team to deal with, they also know that it is not easy to win Manchester City 2-0, but the defending champion team also has a belief that the score of 2-0, although difficult, is not an impossible taskγ The importance of this away goal is extremely important and crucial at this moment.
Thinking of this, Mancini's joy faded a little.
Damn away goals.
In the match with Inter Milan, David Silva left the field with an injury, and after the game, after the examination, David Silva's injury was much lighter than expected. I only need to rest for about a week to be able to play again.
Robert Mancini breathed a sigh of relief.
In every game, the manager not only has to think about leading the team to win, but also has to worry about the players getting injured, and after the game, everyone is healthy and there are no injuries to be able to breathe a sigh of relief. If someone gets hurt, then you have to worry about it after the game......
Even the physical health of the players makes them nervous. Maybe even the players are out on vacation, and the manager has to keep an eye on them at all times, for fear that they will get injured while on vacation, and some players can get injured while watching TV at home, let alone go on vacation.
Can they be less stressed by this kind of worry for a long time?
No, the match with Inter Milan, the score was three to one, allowing Inter Milan to get an away goal, which in itself made Mancini very entangled, and he began to think about the away game against Inter Milan from the end of the game.
The British media, while praising Manchester City for winning the game, also cautiously expressed concern, the focus of concern is naturally the away goal scored by Inter Milan, which means that Manchester City's journey at Meazza Stadium will not be easy.
"Manchester City win at home, Inter Milan's goal remains in suspense!" is the evaluation and analysis of the result of this match on the official UEFA website.
Three days later, in the 32nd round of the league, Manchester City hosted Birmingham, the opponent was not strong, Mancini rotated the team's starting line-up, and he replaced Yang Fan with Balotelli.
Although Yang Fan was rested in the snow, Mancini was still confident that the team would win the game, because without Yang Fan, Manchester City would lose, then his Robert Mancini's level was too bad, and the other players in the Manchester City team were too bad. You must know that Manchester City is not Yang Fan's Manchester City alone.
Manchester City, as a team that has piled up money, although it is called a local tyrant, which is a bit ugly, but the team composed of stars brought by Manchester City's money and recruitment is naturally strong.
The process of this game was not as easy as Mancini thought, and without Yang Fan all of a sudden, the whole Manchester City team was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.
City's goal didn't come until the end of the game, when Balotelli scored with a header and scored the only goal of the game.
The whole stadium was ignited by Balotelli's goal, and the Manchester City fans erupted in huge heat, they did not expect this game to be so difficult, and it was Balotelli's goal that made the fans even more crazy.
Balotelli's goal ignited the whole stadium, and also made the Manchester City players extremely excited, and they were also relieved that the game was finally won.
The Birminghams listened to the huge cheers of the whole stadium and watched the Manchester City people celebrate the goal frantically, they felt so bitter, fought the whole game, only to be beaten at the last moment?
The bitterness and frustration in the hearts of the Birmingham players can be imagined.
They weren't reconciled.
Balotelli's celebration after the goal was surprising, he didn't revel, he didn't even smile, he lifted his shirt on his head with a cool face, and what was written on his undershirt?
McNulty, the leading football journalist at the BBC, commented: "'That's not the real me?', well, it's just Balotelli who is dominated by primitive desires?
McNulty's reference to 'that incident' refers to the 'adulterygate' that has now been exposed by The Sun and subsequently hyped by numerous media outlets.
Picking up the yin and yang with his girlfriend in the next room to his girlfriend is something that only Balotelli can do. Sophie Reed, the 2009 champion actress of "Celebrity Big Brother", became the heroine of the tragic story, and even more tragically, after discovering Balotelli's adultery with her best friend Faye Evant Bates, Sophie Reed was kicked out of the door by the Italian star without even wearing shoes, and it was 4 o'clock in the morning. Sophie Reed whined on it: "For a minute I couldn't even believe he was lying to me, he actually slept with my best friend and I was at his residence at that time. Balotelli is an XX, Faye is not even as good as ****, I feel completely betrayed by Balotelli!" Sophie said that Faye later admitted to the affair with Balotelli in a message, but she thought that the two were just trying to meet each other's physical needs at the time. Despite knowing that Balotelli was a big carrot, Sophie was still infatuated with him: "He was very smart and he had a lot of respect for me. He doesn't do it easily, and we got to know each other before we got to know each other. I was stunned when I first saw Balotelli take off his clothes, his figure was perfect!"Through Sophie's description, it is not difficult to find that Balotelli has conquered women.
What kind of virtue the English media is, everyone on earth knows. The Sun pursued Balotelli and listed other notable events after reporting on 'Adultery'.
Jersey Goal: On March 22, 2010, the Italian TV show Newsstrip presented the controversial Balotelli with the "Golden Trash Award", and Super Mario was interviewed by the show at the bar. After answering a series of innocuous questions, the presenter magically pulled out a number 45 AC Milan shirt with Balotelli's name on it and asked him to wear it in front of the camera. Balotelli wore the Milan shirt with a half-push, which also put him on the opposite side of all Inter fans. Balotelli's agent, Leola, was quick to comment on the "shirt goal": "What the TV station does is so dirty! Balotelli is just a kid, he wears the Milan shirt as a joke. Every kid jokes that he will always be part of Inter. Leola's explanation pales in comparison, as Balotelli has expressed his affection for Milan in public on several occasions, and the Shirt Goal incident has prevented him from staying at Meazza any longer.
Singing Goal: Balotelli is always unpredictable, having been repaired by his team-mates last season for humming the Milan anthem in the Inter dressing room, but on January 29 this year he sang the Inter anthem while dining at Milan's famous restaurant. At that time, the reporter of the Italian "All Market" happened to meet Balotelli who was about to leave after dinner with friends, and the former immediately stepped forward and asked Balotelli a question: "Will you join AC Milan?" Balotelli laughed and began to sing: "(Fall in love with it, crazy Inter, fall in love with it)!" and then walked away. Balotelli's performance was confusing, and he not only offended Inter fans, but also made Milan fans feel very uncomfortable.
Brawl Gate: Not only do the enemies hate Balotelli, but even his teammates don't like him. In a previous training session at Manchester City, Balotelli almost got into a big fight with Boateng, who had not yet left, and if it wasn't for the coach and team-mates to separate the two in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Balotelli clashed with Boateng because the Italian striker had trained Boateng and the German defender, who had a bit of a hanging face, immediately brought him down with a flying tackle. After getting up, Balotelli quickly approached Boateng, who was not to be outdone, and the two quickly got tangled together. Seeing this, other City players rushed to separate the two, and Mancini also criticised Balotelli. Although the matter was quickly settled, and Manchester City's official website also claimed that "this is a small episode in training, there is no need to make a big fuss", but the media generally believes that the existence of Balotelli's time bomb has always been a major hidden danger affecting the harmony of the Manchester City team.
Without further ado, this controversial young Italian goalscorer at least proved his strength and value in this game.
Although the game is not over yet, the game has been played for 89 minutes, counting the injury time, there are still three or four minutes at most, at this time, if the Birmingham team, which is weak in attack, can still score a goal, of course the Manchester City people do not believe it, don't dream!
To score the Manchester City goal in such a short period of time?
Mancini also immediately called out Yaya Toure on the sidelines, and he made an adjustment to ask the whole team to pay attention to the defense. Hold on to the one-goal lead.
Mancini doesn't think about expanding the score at the moment, he is thinking very pragmatically now, win the game first, and then talk about it, everything else is false.
In addition, Roberto Mancini made a substitution, replacing goal-scorer Balotelli and bringing on Gareth Barry.
Balotelli, who was in a good mood, was in a happy mood after being substituted, and played with goalkeeper Joe Hart who was sitting on the bench today. But it was this controversial kid who allowed City to score in the last minute.
The Daily Mail reported that the game was headlined "Rocket Superman Mario Scores in Crunch Time", and it was written that Balotelli became a Manchester City hero β despite his constant off-field trouble.
The Daily Mirror also believes that it was a victory for Balotelli. Balotelli's crucial goal showed what he was capable of, while the post-goal celebration that made people not know what to say made it clear that the kid really couldn't be understood by common sense.
Well, compared to just joining Manchester City, Balotelli has already begun to show signs of growing up. Team-mate Frenkie de Jong mentioned this: "For Balotelli, the behaviour of the last few weeks has been normal, everyone is happy, not only on the pitch, but also in training, you have to praise him. Slowly, he began to learn his lesson. β
Balotelli himself admits that his life is not the same as it used to be: "I don't live in the city centre anymore, I now live in the suburbs, which are quieter. I also stay at home more and spend more time with my brother and girlfriend, who used to come only occasionally, but now with me, it helps me a lot. Last year I was very homesick, but this year it's not that bad, and I'm okay now, except for the weather. β
It is worth mentioning that after Balotelli said this, he staged an 'adulterygate' incident with his girlfriend and best friend.
Well, after the crucial goal of the game, the discussion about Balotelli's gossip was a little quieter, and there were all kinds of praise for him: praise always belongs only to the winner!
