West Bromwich Albion's players were worried that they would be greeted with a roar from manager Roberto Di Matteo, but that was not the case.

This surprised the players and at the same time touched a little in their hearts.
No one knows what's going on in West Bromwich Albion's dressing room, no one knows what their head coach Di Matteo said, but when the West Bromwich Albion players came out of the dressing room, everyone's faces were serious, their eyes seemed to be on fire, and they looked like they were going to eat people!
Di Matteo stood at the entrance of the player's road, and when each disciple passed by him, he high-fived the other and said a word of encouragement.
The camera captured the scene, and Lineker lamented, "Although the situation in West Bromwich Albion was not good, but throughout the season, the work of the young Di Matteo is still encouraging, his West Bromwich Albion team has been very tenacious, this team now has the label of Di Matteo, and the players respect him......"
'The Italian is considered a promising coach and he is doing a decent job at West Bromwich Albion. Tomato - '-.-," Mortensen also said, "On the Italian side, Di Matteo is considered to be a good coach for a new generation after Carlo Ancelotti. ”

Now, the score is 3-5, West Bromwich Albion is two goals behind Manchester City, Di Matteo does not have much hope of a comeback, his most real idea now is to use this game to practice, or it can be said to be a sharpening of West Bromwich Albion's players, in the case of a big score behind Manchester City, if the team can not rout, if they can play their own characteristics, can maintain dignity and leave this stadium, this can make Di Matteo satisfied.
Di Matteo believes that if the team can withstand the test of this game, the result of West Bromwich Albion this season can be expected, at least the relegation is still relatively large. For a brutal relegation battle, a team's resilience is crucial.
Lineker was also full of praise for West Bromwich Albion's 'toughness', "West Bromwich Albion showed us a different team from the first half after the start of the second half! Fan▽eggplant▽ △ '-'.'f'q'x-"
John Mortensen is also interested in the young Italian coach, "I have a hunch that Di Matteo will one day return to London as a coach. ”

At this time, on the field, an attack by the Manchester City team.
Yang Fan received a long pass from De Jong, he **** stopped the ball, and he was about to add it, so he was put down, and it was Brunson who put him down.
The referee verbally warned Brunson and did not mean to draw the cards.
This made Yang Fan very dissatisfied, and he protested to the referee, but the referee ignored his protest, but verbally warned Yang Fan again. And Brunson saw that Yang Fan was deflated, and he also came over and gave the referee a thumbs up provocatively.
Yang Fan glared at Brunson fiercely, but turned around and walked away, which surprised Brunson, who originally wanted to provoke Yang Fan, yes, he deliberately wanted to provoke Yang Fan, but he didn't expect Yang Fan to be fooled. △Tomato Novel ○ Net☆ ''.
"Let's see what's born...... Aha, Brunson tried to provoke Yang Fan, but Yang Fan ignored him. Lineker sighed, "Brunson's calculations are good, but he obviously didn't succeed because Yang Fan is getting more and more mature now, and I think he will become the greatest captain in the history of Manchester City." ”
A free-kick for Manchester City, Yaya Toure stands at the penalty spot.
His free-kick went straight at goal, the ball went over the wall and was tipped over the crossbar by Carson to give City a corner!

Seeing Yang Fan squeezed into the penalty area to find a header opportunity, Brunson immediately leaned in hard.
Yang Fan, who was approached by someone behind him, twisted his body. wanted to get rid of the person next to him, but soon, Yang Fan felt that the pressure had not disappeared but increased sharply, knowing that the other party was in love with him. So he shrugged his shoulders. Hoping to squeeze Brunson out of his place.
Brunson did not show weakness, he squeezed in front of Yang Fan, stuck the position and prevented Yang Fan from jumping to catch the ball. At the same time, Brunson's elbow was very covertly against Yang Fan's stomach, as long as Yang Fan jumped, Brunson could give Yang Fan a very covert moment.
Yang Fan is definitely experienced now, and he also knows these tricks of the guard, he frowned, and opened Brunson's hand. The latter took his hand away, but it was attached to Yang Fan's back again. I want to suppress him from jumping.
The entanglement between the two soon caught the attention of the referee. He whistled for David Silva to take a corner. Then he ran to the door, pointed at Yang Fan and Brunson, looked serious, and waved his hands at the same time to separate them.
"You two, watch your movements!" the referee sternly warned the two.

"You two, separate some!" the referee ordered again.
Yang Fan shrugged, and Brunson also took two steps back, but the referee just turned around and left, and the two of them fought together!
After warning the two, the referee ran out of the box. He then signalled that David Silva was ready to take the corner.
Yang Fan and Brunson, both of them glared at each other viciously, because they had movements in their hands and did not show weakness to each other.
At this moment, a whistle sounds. Yaya Toure ran and sent the football into the penalty area, which is the back point, and it is also where Yang Fan is!
