Chapter 290: Manchester City's first goal
Ten minutes into the game, the score was still 0-0. Ireland got the ball in front, Yang Fan suddenly stepped forward at high speed from the other side, and Ireland immediately sent a through ball.
This is a very comfortable through ball, Yang Fan can take advantage of the situation to continue to rush forward, but he just received the football body and suddenly flew out!
Andrews!
It was he who rushed up and knocked out Yang Fan, who had already received the football, and intercepted Manchester City's extremely threatening attack with a foul.
Andrews was certainly not frightened by Yang Fan's 'great achievements', this is the attitude that a professional player should have, and he is still conscientiously completing the task of defending Yang Fan assigned by the head coach, he only knows that if Yang Fan is allowed to continue to rush forward with the ball just now, then Blackburn's goal will be dangerous, and at that moment, he decisively chose to foul.
The referee's whistle blew and he ran over and verbally warned Andrews.
This made the Manchester City players very dissatisfied, in their opinion, Andrews's foul action was obvious, and this foul killed a Manchester City offensive opportunity, this is a foul that definitely deserves a yellow card, the referee only verbally warned Andrews, this punishment is too lenient, even if it is a bit too much to take into account the home factor.
Yang Fan was also very angry, he got up and went to the referee to theorize. As captain, he also has to put pressure on the referee on behalf of the team.
'It should have been at least a yellow card. Commentator Eddie Gray said very pertinently, "It is not enough to give a red card, there are defenders behind Andrews, but this foul directly stifled a threatening attack by Manchester City, and a yellow card is deserved." ”
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is famously hot-tempered, and he thundered on the sidelines, "That bastard should be sent off with a red card......!"
"Mr. Hughes, be careful with your words. The fourth official came up and reminded.
"Watch the ......," Hughes continued to explode, and then his mouth was covered by his assistant Brian, who repeatedly apologized to the fourth official, who turned grim, but finally did not notify the referee to sanction the grumpy manager.
Manchester City's free-kick, Tevez came up to take the penalty, the angle was too right, and the football was firmly grasped by Blackburn goalkeeper Robinson.
Blackburn Rovers responded to the onslaught by shouting loudly: "Fuck you City! Fuck you nouveau riche! We're Blackburn! We're going to kick your ass!"
The game was Yang Fan's first game for Manchester City, and there were many Chinese journalists in the stands, and the tension on the pitch was contagious to the media booth. The reporters were talking softly, and it was clear that Blackburn's defense of Yang Fan today was very targeted and rough, and Martin O'Neill almost arranged for a lumberjack to cut Yang Fan. These Chinese reporters are worried that Yang Fan will be injured, and they are also worried about whether Yang Fan will be able to score goals under such a defense.
Manchester City began to take the initiative on the pitch, and Mark Hughes finally relaxed a little, but he was immediately startled and jumped to his feet.
This is after Kolo Toure was broken through by Diouf, Richards was not able to come up to fill in the position at the first time, Diouf made a slight adjustment, and suddenly came with a long shot.
Diouf Goal...... Did the ball go in?"
The commentator watched the ball in the broadcast box as it exploded into the Manchester City goal. Given's flying saves, but the net is still stirred up behind him, and he almost shouts "The ball is in again!" Fortunately, the calmness at the critical moment did not make him ugly.
Given's lie on it, looking up at the net that has been lifted off by the football, which bounces off the billboard and back. He felt like he was in the middle of nowhere......
The football didn't go in. Diouf's shot went wide, bounced off the billboard and hit the side-netting, which shocked the Manchester City people into a cold sweat.
Watching the football go off. Blackburn head coach Martin O'Neill waved his hand in annoyance, he had thought the goal had gone in.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ivan Gilvan yelled at him, unhappy with the way his team's backline had just defended.
Mark Hughes also roared from the sidelines, yelling at Richards. That's the biggest problem for this Manchester City team right now, the team has brought in a lot of quality new signings in the summer, which has strengthened Manchester City's strength, but this team can now be said to be a new Manchester City, and there is almost no tacit understanding between the players. Take the defense just now, after Kolo Toure was passed, Richards did not come up to fill in the position, but ran to the other side, which gave Diouf the opportunity to shoot from distance.
Manchester City soon returned to color.
This is another strong counterattack from Yang Fan. Although Blackburn's attack just now did not score, it aroused Blackburn's morale, and what Manchester City has to do is to suppress, quickly suppress, and suppress Blackburn's morale! Yang Fan likes to do this kind of thing the most, which is also the role that the captain of a team should play at a critical moment, and this is also the advantage of the striker as the captain of the team. This captain can be more proactive!
This time, De Jong broke the ball in the midfield, and as soon as he looked up to find someone, he saw Yang Fan retreat to the midfield to respond.
"Give me the ball. ”
De Jong pushed the arch of his foot, and the football reached the feet of Yang Fan, who immediately pulled the ball and turned around and began to break through quickly.
Enzozi came up to intercept.
Yang Fan controlled his rhythm for a moment. Deliberately reduce the speed to attract Enzozzi to come up and defend. Then the moment Enzozzi leaned up, he suddenly smashed the ball and accelerated to get rid of it!
Enzoji didn't expect Yang Fan to break through so quickly, so he was caught off guard and turned around in a hurry, but his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.
Manchester City's commentator excitedly shouted: "Yang Fan broke through Blackburn's defense! This is the first one!" They were waiting for this time, when Yang Fan showed his might, which was enough to make all Manchester City fans crazy and make them boil!
Yang Fan passed Nzozi and he continued to dribble the ball, however, he soon met the next interceptor.
Andrews, his old rival today!
Yang Fan glanced at Andrews coldly, he seemed to see this Irish midfielder sneering at him, and his expression seemed to say: "Boy, your breakthrough is over here!!"
Yang Fan's heart is boiling, this is the passion to defeat the opponent is burning!
Yang Fan slowed down slightly and protected the ball,
Andrews turned half-sideways at Yang Fan, ready to turn around at any moment. After a few fights, he fully understood Yang Fan's strength, and this person's sudden acceleration was too terrifying.
Yang Fan made a feint to pass the ball, hoping to trick Andrews into losing his center of gravity. But Andrews was unmoved. Continue to half-sideways, lower your center of gravity and stare at the ball at Yang Fan's feet.
Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Fan suddenly caught a glimpse of Blackburn midfielder Pederson on the other side, and he reacted that Andrews in front of him was just bluffing, and the real goal was to stall for time. Wait for Pedersen to make a front and back strike. Deciding not to spend it here with Andrews, he decided to force his way through!
Yang Fan flicked the ball and broke through inward with a diagonal line.
Seeing Yang Fan's movements, Andrews followed suit. He leaned up. intends to stop Yang Fan from accelerating.
At this moment, Yang Fan suddenly smashed the ball and stopped urgently, intending to change direction from behind Andrews to break through!
Almost at the same time, Andrews also made a sharp stop, his left foot firmly on top. Quickly turn around and reach out with his right foot to tackle!
Then he was taken aback, because Yang Fan smashed the ball again in an almost impossible situation, pulled the football back with an irregular twisting action, and then staggered the football forward, leaned forward, accelerated, and passed!
Although this person may seem a bit wolf-like, it is really exciting!
"It's so beautiful, Yang Fan smashed the ball continuously, shaking Andrews around!" Eddie Gray exclaimed.
"It's over! second!" shouted the City commentator.
After passing Andrews, Yang Fan did not move towards the wing, but intended to move towards the middle.
Now, there are two Blackburn defenders in front of him. But he still planned to break in.
In this breakthrough, whether he can score a goal is no longer the most important thing, Yang Fan wants to use such a posture, he alone can outnumber the opponent's players as much as possible, and use this way to boost the morale of Manchester City! Let his teammates see the strength of this captain! On the field, this kind of attack of breaking through multiple people on a single ride and breaking through multiple people in a row is definitely the most morale-boosting!
Yang Fan quickly crossed at his feet, which made Blackburn defender Givet want to stretch his feet but didn't dare to stretch his feet, at this time, Yang Fan suddenly knocked the football from under Givet's crotch, and Yang Fan was about to jump up and bypass Givett!
As long as he can get around, he will be able to get into the box.
However, Blakeburn fullback Warnock, who was beside Givet, saw that the situation was not good, and decisively fouled! He directly turned sideways, slammed into Yang Fan, and knocked Yang Fan out!
When he was breaking through and accelerating, he was hit like this, Yang Fan immediately lost his center of gravity and fell heavily in the forbidden area!
"Toot!" the referee's whistle sounded.
"Penalty!!" shouted the Manchester City fans in the stands of the visiting team.
"Put your mother's shit penalty!"
"The Chinese fake fall!"
“****!”
The Blackburn fans, who had the advantage in numbers, scolded.
"Yang Fan was knocked to the ground by Warnock! The foul was saved, and the Chinese star fell to the ground......! Let's take a look at the slow motion ......" The slow motion shows that although the football is in the penalty area and Yang Fan also falls in the penalty area, Warnock's foul is very decisive and timely, almost a foul less than 30 centimeters outside the penalty area line!
To be precise, the foul was committed outside the penalty area.
"Your ****** fake fall!" Andrews rushed up and roared at Yang Fan, who was still on the ground.
"Fuck off. Yang Fan jumped up suddenly, "To deal with you, Lao Tzu uses fake falls! Lao Tzu never fakes falls!"
"Bastard, keep your mouth clean. ”
"Grass mud horse!"
Andrews didn't know if Yang Fan deliberately faked falling to the penalty area, he was here to stir up trouble, just to provoke Yang Fan. Of course, he was trying to provoke Yang Fan, but he himself was actually very rational and knew how to measure himself, don't look at him scolding and roaring, but his arm has been put behind his back, which is for the referee to see, which means that I am protesting politely and politely, and there is no violent impulse.
However, to Andrews's surprise, although Yang Fan was very excited and responded angrily, he had no intention of doing anything.
Could it be that the responsibility of the captain's armband really changed the sex of this grumpy brat?!
Yang Fan and Andrews, who were watching, had an argument, and more players from both sides joined in.
The referee blew the whistle again and again, separating the two sides who were a little excited.
The referee then showed Andrews a yellow card. He verbally warned Yang Fan again.
This made Andrews very dissatisfied, and the reason for his dissatisfaction was not only because he received a yellow card, but also because Yang Fan did not receive a yellow card.
The referee glanced coldly at the Irish midfielder, "I'm not blind, I can see clearly." "It's a warning to Andrews not to try to be clever anymore.
'Andrews provoked first and a yellow card was appropriate. Eddie Gray said, what surprised him was Yang Fan, "Being provoked like this, coupled with Andrews's several bad and rough fouls on him before, Yang Fan can really hold back his anger, it's really unexpected." ”
Also unexpected, there is Mark Hughes, just now saw Andrews come up to provoke, he is really worried that Yang Fan will have a seizure, if Yang Fan is sent off for a red card, this fun will be great, Manchester City's 150 million pound Mr. The team's captain's debut can never be opened in a red way.
And seeing that Yang Fan was actually very restrained, this surprised Mark Hughes too, and he also muttered in his heart, is the responsibility of the captain's armband at work?
The referee then awarded Warnock a yellow card for the foul, and then, instead of pointing to the penalty spot, he stood at the place of the foul and raised his arm, which means: This is a free kick.
Mark Hughes was unhappy that the referee only awarded a free kick instead of a penalty: "The referee is blind! This should be a penalty!" To be honest, he doesn't know whether the foul is in the box or outside the box, and for the manager, in their opinion, all the decisions against his team are the referee's problem.
Martin O'Neill was also not satisfied, in his opinion, his players should have fouled earlier, and they were almost close to the penalty area, which not only risked being awarded a penalty, but also that a free kick in this position was a huge threat in itself.
"Wall of people, wall of people, up to seven platoons!" he yelled from the sidelines.
Manchester City's set-piece has always been the penalty of Wright Phillips, and this time he also planned to go up to take the penalty, but Yang Fan stopped him.
"Wright, I'm here this time. ”
Wright Phillips stopped and looked at Yang Fan, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Fan coming to take the penalty from the set-piece, he subconsciously looked to the sidelines, which was asking the head coach Mark Hughes's opinion.
"I'll give it a try. Yang Fan said, "If you don't enter this time, you will be the main punishment in the future." ”
Since Yang Fan said so, Wright Phillips could only reluctantly agree.
Then, everyone watched Yang Fan pick up the football, and then walked to the place designated by the referee and put the football firmly on the ground.
"This is Manchester City's chance! The free-kick in this position is still very threatening, and it looks like Yang Fan is going to take the ball...... It was he who asked Wright Phillips for the free throw. ”
Yang Fan put the football away, and then waited for Blackburn to go to the wall, at this time, Yang Fan glanced at Tevez, who immediately understood and began to squeeze into Blackburn's wall.
It's useful to have your own players squeeze in when the opponent is lining up the wall. Because the wall itself not only blocks free kicks, but also blocks the goalkeeper's view in turn. The participation of your own players makes the goalkeeper's view more obstructed. He couldn't make a save. In addition, it is possible to run away when a teammate makes a free throw, which opens up a gap and scores from that gap. Even if you don't score, you can still shoot later, and basically don't be offside.
Blackburn's defenders naturally didn't want to see Tevez squeeze in, so they wanted to squeeze Tevez in, but Tevez didn't give in, just got squeezed out, and persevered to squeeze in. In this way, when the referee blew the whistle, Tevez managed to stay in Blackburn's wall.
Yang Fan ran and began to shoot.
Almost at the same time, Tevez jumped up first. And the football kicked by Yang Fan was a boccia, which was aimed at the gap under Tevez's feet after jumping up.
The ball rolls against the turf and is extremely fast.
Blackburn's goalkeeper Robinson watched the ball roll over, and when he wanted to fall to the ground, it was too late, and the ball passed by his left leg and rolled into the net.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”
“goooooooooooaaal!”
"The ball is in!"
"Yang Fan's direct free kick broke through Blackburn's goal!"
"A very fast shot against the turf, Robinson can't do anything about it!"
"One to zero!"
"Yang Fan's goal!"
"This is Yang Fan's first league goal for Manchester City, and the value of Mr. 150 million pounds is reflected at this moment!"
"1-0, Manchester City are ahead away!"
The Manchester City fans in the visiting fan stands jumped up, yelling, cheering, cheering for Yang Fan's goal, and countless Manchester City fans in front of the TV did the same.
Manchester City coach Mark Hughes also jumped up and raised his arms to cheer, Yang Fan's goal broke the deadlock on the field and helped Manchester City take the lead, which also made Mark Hughes finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hell!" Blackburn's head coach Martin O'Neill complained and cursed, how could this conceded goal disrupt all of Blackburn's tactical deployment, how could he not be depressed.
After scoring the goal, Yang Fan turned and ran, he ran to the away team's goal stand at Ewood Park Stadium and beat his chest hard!
One holiday, he was suffocated, he missed the feeling of scoring goals so much, this feeling made his blood boil and made him intoxicated!
