Chapter 512: The so-called development style

Yang Fan knows that the team is in a serious situation right now. He didn't celebrate his goal. He picks up the ball from inside the net. Surrounded by a group of teammates, he ran back.

"This is just the first one!"

"Continue! Continue! until you win!" Yang Fan shook his fist vigorously and shouted at his teammates who were running with him to the middle circle, reminding them to work harder.

"Bombardment from above! Well done! That's what you do, keep going, keep going!"

"One more!"

On the sidelines, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was thrilled to see the goal equaliser, shouting that he even regretted it now, and that he should have brought on Bam Adebayo to attack Stoke City's defence sooner rather than later...... In such a hard-fought physical battle, Adebayo has a place......

Stoke City manager Pasley was depressed after seeing the goal conceded, Stoke City had been leading Manchester City 1-0, and his team looked to have a good chance to take all three points from the leaders, but they were still equalized by Manchester City.

At this moment, Pasley also understands that Stoke City has to give up the idea of winning at home against Manchester City, don't think about attacking first, after all, that goal can be sneak attacked, on the one hand, Stoke City is lucky, and on the other hand, Manchester City is too bad luck, there are low-level mistakes, like this situation will hardly happen again, so, now for Stoke City, don't think about scoring goals and winning, at this time to find ways to do a good job of defense, after all, for Stoke City, it is also an acceptable result to draw Manchester City at home。

Pasley was keenly aware of the threat that tall Adebayor posed to the goal, and he made immediate changes, with tall centre-back Hutter being specifically told to mark Adebayor, and James Milner, who was in charge of delivering cannonballs from the wings.

Subsequently, Yang Fan received a header from Adebayo at the top of the penalty area, and he directly volleyed, and the football hit the post hard, shocking the Stoke City people in a cold sweat.

Pasley is also aware of the danger, and looking at this stance, Stoke City are in danger of getting a draw. In the games that followed, the home team used a variety of tactics to ensure they could get a point.

With a gesture from Paisley, their tactical set-up began to emerge as Stoke City's players began to do everything they could to delay the game.

The players of Stoke City seem to have suddenly become weak babies, they fall to the ground in pain after being touched by the slightest touch, not only to the ground, but also to roll on the ground a few times, not minding the mud of the field at all, with the screams, look at this posture, you still think their legs are broken.

In addition to the injury, they also had other means to make reasonable use of the rules, and the Stoke City players began to have frequent foot cramps, and the players held their calves one after another to make cramps on the ground, and the referee had to interrupt the game frequently.

There are some other tricks, for example, they have to swing a goal kick twice, get the opportunity to get a set-piece, even a set-piece at the back, it must be three or two players discussing who will take the penalty, and then slowly put the ball back again before opening the ball, in addition, they throw the throw-in is definitely slow, they will definitely wait for the full-backs to come up......

Every time we see a Stoke City player fall to the ground due to an "injury", Manchester City kicks the ball out of bounds out of sportsmanship at the beginning. The Manchester City fans in front of the TV were jumping to their feet, and they could certainly see that the Stoke City players were using subterfuges to make reasonable use of the rules of the game.

However, the problem is that the game time is slowly passing in the constant injury pain of the Stoke City players, and the fans are anxious as they watch the game draw to a close, and the score on the field is still 1-1.

Manchester City's fans are anxious, and their captain Yang Fan is even more anxious.

Such a "reasonable" use of the rules of the game to delay the game time, Yang Fan is not the first time to see, but often seeing does not mean that you can accept it, for the side that urgently needs to score goals and is extremely precious for the game time, it is naturally extremely angry and unhappy to see the other party waste game time so much!

Looking at the hard-liners of Stoke City's rough style of play, they suddenly turned into Italian macaroni, soft and unspeakable, falling down when touched, swindling injuries to delay and waste game time, Yang Fan's anger, his chest rose and fell violently. There was a rush of anger rushing outward, and the whole person's blood became manic because of anger.

This time someone fell to the ground again.

Stoke City's Etherington and Frenkie de Jong battled in midfield, and the two men had some physical contact when they headed the ball, and then Etherington fell to the ground in pain after landing on the ground.

What about De Jong?

He stopped the ball with his chest when he landed, and at this time he only had the football in his eyes, and he didn't even notice the situation of the Stoke City player who had just grabbed the ball with him, and after he stopped the ball on his chest, he passed it to Diaya Toure in front.

At this time, Etherington was lying on the ground, rolling in pain, and didn't pay attention to the Manchester City people at all, in his mind, this time, Manchester City players will also take the initiative to kick the football out of the sideline, very sportsmanlike to interrupt the game, so, in order to be more realistic acting, he simply lay on the ground and did not move.

The Stoke City players immediately raised their hands when they saw Etherington fall to the ground, and in fact they were mostly watching their players in the final stages of the game, except for the rest of the game. As soon as someone falls to the ground, Hula ra's hands are raised, signaling that his person is injured and asking the Manchester City players to kick the football out. The Manchester City players couldn't help it, according to the conventions of the game, although they were not happy in their hearts, they could only promote sportsmanship and kick the football out politely.

But this time, when the other Stoke City players raised their arms and signaled that Etherington was injured, this was to ask Yaya Toure to kick the football out and let their players receive treatment, but these Stoke City players were immediately dumbfounded, because they saw that Yaya Toure, who received De Jong's pass, was not moved at all, and ignored Etherington lying on the ground, but continued to carry the ball forward.

Seeing this scene, the Stoke City players were stunned, they didn't expect the Manchester City players to be so unsportsmanlike this time!

Yaya Toure passed the football to Yang Fan in front.

Yang Fan received the ball, he took the ball directly forward, and took advantage of a degree change to pass Pennant who came up to intercept. Then, he continued to dribble the ball no matter how many Stoke City players signaled to him, and no matter how many people in the stands booed him in dissatisfaction!

Anyway, this time, Yang Fan made up his mind, as long as he didn't hear the referee's whistle to stop the game, he continued to dribble the ball forward and attack!

The confrontation between De Jong and Etherington just now, Yang Fan could see it clearly, first De Jong did not foul, and then these two people pulled each other on their hands, and finally, Etherington's situation was not as serious as he showed when he was lying on the ground now, in football games, such physical contact is very common, and it is almost impossible to get injured.

Of course, the most important point is that Yang Fan has long been angry with the Stoke City players repeatedly defrauding injuries and delaying the game time, this time it is Manchester City's opportunity to counterattack, and he has made up his mind to ignore the Stoke City people's tricks.

The unsportsmanlike side is the one who deserves the most reproach.

When Yaya Toure ignored Etherington's injury and fell to the ground and continued to dribble the ball, when Yaya Toure passed the ball to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan continued to dribble the ball after passing Pennant.

The people of Stoke City finally understood. Manchester City don't plan to show any sportsmanship at all this time!

Bastard!

How can you do this?!What unsportsmanlike guys, don't you see our guys hurt?!The people of Stoke City are angry, they are acting too much, and they seem to really think that their teammate Etherington is injured.

Seeing Yang Fan continue to dribble the ball, the Stoke City people were furious.

One rushed up and wanted to use a vicious and rude foul to overturn Yang Fan with the ball, and forcibly suspended the game in such a rough way, which was also a revenge for Yang Fan.

However, Yang Fan did not give the opponent a chance to foul. He slammed it hard, then jumped to his feet, dodging the Stoke player's vicious tackle.

"Beautiful!"

"Yang Fan is another person! He's exploding now! It's not easy to have a long-distance run on such a venue. ”

Subsequently, Faye came up to force Yang Fan, Yang Fan did not continue to dribble the ball in order to avoid falling into a heavy encirclement, and in order to avoid delaying the offensive time, but passed the football out. He passed the ball to Zabaleta on the flank, and then continued to run forward to make a move at any time.

Zabaleta received a pass from Yang Fan, and the Argentine seemed to hesitate, and behind him, Etherington, who was still lying on the ground in pain, and not far from him, a Stoke City player was retreating to defend and ask him to kick the football out.

"Do you want to keep attacking, do you want to kick the ball off the touchline?" Zabaleta hesitated.

However, at this time, Zabaleta heard Yang Fan's shout: "Attack!

Zabaleta was shaken by the roar, and he didn't hesitate again and began to dribble forward, facing the Stoke defender who had changed his face and pressing, he dipped a shot, pulled the ball back, and then crossed with his feet to send the ball into the box.

Stoke City's players were caught off guard by the Manchester City team's attack, and many of them subconsciously thought that Manchester City would play the football out of the sideline in a sportsmanlike style to interrupt the game, but they didn't expect that Manchester City would be so shameless this time if it was too much, and they ignored the injuries of their players and insisted on continuing the game.

This obviously caught the Stoke City players off guard, so that the Stoke City players were very embarrassed, and the back line was a mess at this time, almost in a hurry, in this case, it could not constitute effective defensive protection at all, and Stoke City's defense suddenly fell into a crisis.
