Chapter 278: Qatar is in a hurry
The football 'fans' at the scene shouted Yang Fan's name in unison, and they used this way to express their dissatisfaction, and at the same time, this was also for Manchester City manager Mark Hughes to see, wanting him to send Yang Fan to the game.
At this time, an assistant coach looked at the situation on the field and asked tentatively, "Are we considering replacing Yang Fan?" This means, do you want to send Yang Fan?
It's just a commercial game, there is no limit in terms of substitutions, and to put it mildly, Mark Hughes is just changing all the eleven players on the field in a while, which is also okay.
Mark Hughes snorted angrily and said, "No, just kick like that." ”
Mark Hughes had a temper tantrum when he was playing, and that temper is still that way when he became a coach. He won't bow his head, in his opinion, this is a battle between himself and Yang Fan, if he changes to Yang Fan now, this is almost equivalent to bowing his head and admitting his mistake, how can this be?!
In fact, although Yang Fan did not play the game, Manchester City still occupied the initiative on the field. Although several of the 11 players on the pitch are also playing for Manchester City for the first time, and they have rarely participated in the team's joint training, after all, the quality of these Manchester City stars is there, and they are a cut above Qatar United.
On the Qatar United side, most of the players are Qatar internationals, only in midfield, where former Brazil international Juninho appears and is a big star. That's right, this is the Juninho of the French giants 'Gate' Lyon, who is a famous free kick master in world football, and his 'fallen leaf ball' is famous.
Up front, it was Ricardo Oliveira and Alfonso Alves. This can also be said to be a combination of former Brazil internationals. Ricardo Oliveira is the Oliveira who used to play for Serie A giants AC Milan, after Shepchenko transferred from Milan to Chelsea in the summer of 2006, Milan bought the Brazilian striker as Shepchenko's *** person, and this Oliveira proved to be the most famous parallel commodity in Milan's history. Of course, this can't say how bad Oliveira's strength is, and interestingly, after he left Milan, he returned to La Liga. In addition, Alfonso Alves is also a more famous star in Brazil, Alfonso left Middlesbrough this year to go to the Middle East to pan for gold, the center forward who has played for the Brazilian national team 8 times, in fact, he is still quite 'outstanding' in the Qatar League, and is the most popular player of the Layan club he plays for.
Therefore, this Qatar United team is basically a Qatar international configuration in the midfield, but in the front field, three former Brazilian internationals are responsible for the heavy role.
However, it is clear that the quality of this Qatar United team is limited, and the combination of these Qatar internationals and balloon stars is slow to enter the game, which makes them passive from the start.

Only in the sixth minute, Manchester City launched an attack, Wright Phillips used his speed to form a breakthrough on the side and crossed, Adebayo headed the 'goal' in the penalty area, the football was saved by the 'goalkeeper', but could not clear the penalty area in time, in a 'chaos' and 'chaos', Tevez found the football, he cleverly buckled the defenders who came up to defend, and then 'shot' hard, the football went in, for Manchester City to take the lead.
Although this goal was scored in the 'chaos' battle, the overall viewing is not high, but Tevez's final 'shot' and 'goal' are also very beautiful, the Argentine striker dodged in the narrow penalty area, shook off the defender and 'shot' the 'goal', which shows Tevez's skillful foot skills and good 'goal' feeling.
The goal also earned Tevez applause. Although Manchester City is the opponent of Qatar United, many football 'fans' on the scene are still not stingy with applause, after all, this is just a commercial game, seeing the goal, seeing the 'fine' goal, the ball 'fans' are naturally very happy.
Qatar United equalised eleven minutes into the game, Oliveira won them a well-placed free-kick in front, Juninho stood in front of the football, he showed everyone his amazing 'fine' footwork for many years, and took a beautiful arc to the corner of the ball.
1-1, Qatar United pulled a goal back.
This goal also made the atmosphere of the football 'fans' at the scene even more enthusiastic. The president of the Qatar Football Association, Hamad, in the VIP box, couldn't help but stand up and applaud the goal. The shape shì looked pretty good, although he lost the goal, but he quickly equalized the score, and he did a decent job.
However, just as the smile on Hamad's face bloomed, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
※※※※※※※
In the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester City won a corner kick, and Adebayo took advantage of this corner kick opportunity to top a beautiful header to attack the 'goal', and scored the football, 2-1! Manchester City exceeded the score again.
After the goal, Adebayo looked very excited, he ran crazy to celebrate the goal, which looked a little inexplicable to some Manchester City players, after all, it was just a commercial game, and he was happy to score a goal like this, as for it?
And the ball 'fans' in the stands are also a little unhappy, you are strong, you scored, we have no opinion, the goal is beautiful, and we give you applause, but after the goal, it is a little too arrogant to celebrate.
Therefore, unlike Tevez's 'fans' who gave applause after the goal, at this time, when Adebayor celebrated the goal, the scene resounded with boos, which is more like the attitude towards the away team's players.
Ten minutes later, in the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Manchester City scored again. It was a good match for Manchester City, the players made a series of passes in front, and finally it was Tevez's beautiful goal that tore apart the Qatar United defence, and Adebayor, who was successfully countered offside, got a one-handed chance, and the Togolese star shook off the Qatar United 'goalkeeper' and smashed the football into the empty 'goal'...... Adebayo, who scored twice, celebrated with excitement again, and the boos at the scene became louder.
Seeing that the team fell behind 3-1 so quickly, Hamad's face changed.
Not only is the score behind, but it is also very passive on the field, and if the game is allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that it is very possible for the team to lose by five or six goals. Hamad, the president of the Qatar Football Association in the VIP box, was a little anxious. The purpose of their commercial game is to take this opportunity to show the world the strength of Qatari football, but it would be a great irony and tragedy if they were slaughtered in the end.
※※※※※※※
In this case, Hamad could not sit still, and he immediately approached the VIP in the box - Manchester City club CEO Gary Cook, and expressed in a very subtle way whether Manchester City could 'take it easy' and not let the home team lose too ugly.
Although Hamad's meaning is very vague, Gary Cook is also a smart man and immediately understood it. Although he was very contemptuous of this request of the president of the Qatar Football Association, who was born in the Qatari royal family, after thinking about it, Gary Cook still nodded, after all, this is just a commercial game, if Manchester City really wins too ferociously, this is not a good thing, and no one will dare to invite them to play a commercial game in the future. In fact, it is generally Manchester City that plays very ferociously in commercial games, and the strength is between the big 'door' and the non-big 'door', and those real big 'door' teams have a very good set in commercial games, that is, they control the game, and control the score, that is, they won, and they didn't let the opponent lose too ugly, it can be said that they made a lot of commercial appearance fees, and they also sold the host, which can be said to be a big joy...... Manchester City have a lot to learn on their way to the big clubs. Unbeknownst to the fans, just after Manchester City's third goal, Mark Hughes received an order from the club's chief executive, Gary Cook, to replace a few key players.
