ο»Ώ βοΌβ
"Super! Super! Super!" Mortenson said three supers in a row, "Super Hanging Goal! Howard was completely intimidated by such a shot! Super goal! Yang Fan, who helped Manchester City equalize. β
There has been a sea of joy on the Manchester City bench, everyone hugging and hugging everyone around them. It came at the right time and it was great to be able to equalise quickly. What's more, the situation on the field just now was not very good, and this goal is even more precious!
Contrary to the joyous atmosphere on Manchester City's side, there was silence on the Everton bench and in the dugout. Moyes was a little disappointed, and he bit his lower lip tightly. Gazing at the big screen. It was a replay of Manchester City's goal.
Yang Fan was completely surrounded, and in such a situation, this person was able to suddenly complete the hanging door in the crowd, and the goal was scored.
What else can Moyes say? It's not that Everton's defense is not doing well, it can only be said that Yang Fan is too perverted, this person is too terrifying!
This is really a crime of war.
Everton have performed very well this season, however, this team belongs to the traditional powerhouse of the Premier League, but there is still a certain gap between their strength and Manchester City.
The biggest gap is psychologically, and Everton is now quite far behind Manchester City, a local giant.
After Manchester City fell behind in the score, even in the face of Everton's siege, the situation was very passive, but it was not too flustered, but Manchester City's counterattack just now was impressive, which made Everton panic for a while, and finally lost points.
After the game was re-kicked off in the center circle and equalized by Manchester City, Everton suffered a psychological blow, the rhythm of the game was chaotic, and after several consecutive passing errors, the initiative of the game was gradually lost, and morale was one thing and the other was lost.
Yang Fan's goal equalized for Manchester City, bringing the game back to the same starting line, and Everton's advantage after the opening began to gradually shrink.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Manchester City manager Mancini's tactics were adjusted again, and he boldly pushed the back line to the front and strengthened the attack. Then the game turned into Manchester City pressing Everton at Goodison Park.
'David Silva β he tries a long-range shot from the edge of the box...... The ball went over the crossbar. β
"Richards came up and he passed the ball...... Yang Fan's header rubbed the ...... Jagielka pushes the ball out...... Ballack crosses from the flank, Dzeko shoots...... Missed the goalpost. β
Yang Fan hit the goal directly from the left side of the penalty area, the ball was saved by Howard, and Dzeko volleyed in the penalty area...... The ball was touched by Heitinga and missed...... Corner kick. β
Everton's box was full of noise, and with Manchester City threatening to overtake the score at any moment, Everton manager David Moyes was restless, and the fans were shouting from the stands from time to time.
Everton's backline was in excellent form at this time, with centre-backs Heitinga and Jagielka making consecutive saves, and goalkeeper Howard's performance being even more crucial.
Although Manchester City's attack was fierce, they were always a little bit away from the goal, either deflected or cleared.
As the game entered the 39th minute, City's makeshift patchwork back finally showed a flaw again. Originally, Mancini wanted the whole team to press, that is, to keep the fire away from his own penalty area and avoid Everton's attacking end from hitting his own weak backline, but Everton still seized a chance.
After receiving a pass from Yaya Toure, Yang Fan deceived Barnes and then took a long-range shot, the ball flew towards the goal, and Howard made a wonderful save to save the football.
Manchester City's corner.
Yaya Toure's corner, Ballack grabbed the point, the top was too right, Howard directly hugged the football, and then, the Everton goalkeeper threw the ball to launch a quick counterattack.
After receiving the football, Hibbert passed the ball to Rodewell, who passed the ball to Arteta, Arteta turned the ball, looked ahead, and suddenly passed a scalpel-like direct pass in the middle, and Fellaini was also at this time, suddenly quickly forward to form a single knife.
Manchester City's starting goalkeeper Joe Hart reacted quickly and made a quick save, but City's centre-back was half a beat slower to return and didn't catch up with the second point, and the ball was easily pushed into the empty net by Betford, who swam to the middle.
βοΌοΌβ
"Bethford!
"2-1! Everton go ahead again!"
Betford overtook the lead in tough circumstances for Everton.
"Bethford!"
"Bethford!"
"Bethford!"
Goodison Park, which was still in a panic just now, suddenly turned into a sea of joy, and the Everton fans in the stands of Goodison Park, as well as many Everton fans in front of the TV, kept chanting the names of their goal heroes.
Yang Fan and his teammates looked helplessly at the Everton people who were frantically celebrating the goal, just now Manchester City occupied the advantage on the field, but it was Everton who scored the last goal, which made them a little depressed.
"Hurry up and kick off! The first half is not over, we are trying to equalize!" Yang Fan said.
Dzeko nodded, he understood what Yang Fan meant, and tried to score before the end of the first half to equalize. That way, the pressure in the second half will be much less, otherwise it will be worse to start the second half with a goal down.
Mancini's face is not very good, the team just had a good attack, but conceded a goal.
David Moyes' face flushed with joy when he saw Betford score, he really didn't expect his team to be able to take the lead again before the end of the first half. Everton had just been suppressed by Manchester City, and he was worried that Everton might concede goals again.
'It was a strange game today, the dominant side tends to concede goals. And the side that is passively beaten is very efficient in seizing the counterattack. Mortensen shook his head and said, "Manchester City's makeshift backline finally went wrong, and Arteta's through ball was timely. β
Everton took the lead and David Moyes looked at the time on the scoreboard, with five minutes left at most until the end of the first half, including injury time. With five minutes to play, Everton will have to hold on to those five minutes and head into the break with a one-goal lead, with Everton in the second half in a much better position.
Moyes immediately called Jagielka to the sidelines and communicated his tactical adjustment through the mouth of the veteran defender.
In the final stages of the first half, the whole team retreated and tried to hold on to the one-goal advantage.
Hearing Moyes say this, Jagielka nodded, and honestly conveyed the tactical adjustment, although Moyes's prestige in Everton is not high, but the manager is the head coach after all, and the manager's tactical adjustment is the will, in addition, Jagielka also feels that it is indeed time to retreat the defense.
City weren't too affected by the goals conceded, and instead of feeling sorry and frustrated there, they should hurry up and try to score quickly to equalise.
Yaya Toure dribbles the ball up front.
He looked ahead, looking for an open pass.
It just so happened that David Silva copied up from behind, Rodwell's attention was distracted by David Silva's running, Yaya Toure seized this gap to pass, tricked Rodwell to shift his focus, and then suddenly pretended to break through from the opposite direction!
Rodwell wanted to block, but saw that Yaya Toure did not break through, but passed the football out, and the target was not David Silva, but Yang Fan!
Yang Fan received the ball, turned around, and immediately accelerated to break through, Hibbert, who was defending him, was too close to him, and he didn't have time to react at all, Yang Fan had already swept past Hibbert's side.
Just wiped Hibbert and faced Barnes, who came up to break the ball, Yang Fan lightly buckled his right foot, moved his body sideways, and brought the football from Barnes's feet.
Just past Barnes, Hibbert came up from behind, Yang Fan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and suddenly stopped the card position to block Hibbert who was chasing behind.
Seeing Yang Fan connecting the two, Heitinga immediately came up decisively to defend his position.
Yang Fan unbelievably chose to divide the ball in a small space, the football went to the left, the person walked from the right, the football continued to roll forward almost against the sideline, and he himself swept over from the other side.
This made Heitinga stunned, because he didn't expect Yang Fan to be able to divide the ball in such a small space, in addition, even if the ball was divided, when approaching the sideline, the breaker would generally kick the football from the inside, not from the outside, which was to avoid the football out of the sideline, Yang Fan did the opposite and killed Heitinga by surprise.
There was a gasp at Goodison Park, and they were startled by the miraculous performance of the Chinese player they didn't like. Single-handedly taking on three Everton defenders, when has the Manchester City captain's skill in this small space been so good!
The ball was divided, past Heitinga, and Yang Fan caught up with the football. He looked up at the situation in the penalty area.
In front of the penalty area, Ballack and Dzeko rushed towards the goal as if they had received a signal!
"Watch out for his cross!" Howard shouted, and almost at the same time, Yang Fan passed the ball and the ball flew towards the goal.
Barak stabbed in the slash. Scared the heart of all Evertonians out of the woods.
Barak ...... Didn't kick it!" Ballack slammed his foot at the soccer ball, but missed it in the high-speed motion, and the ball slipped between his legs.
The narrator was tempted to say that this was really an amateurish mistake. But before he could make such an exclamation, he saw a red figure appear on the trajectory of the football behind the crowd and in the back corner of the goal......
Howard was already on the ground for Ballack's first shot β and he made a save. But I didn't wait for football. Instead, the gates of the city behind him were wide open.
This is Edin Dzeko's chance......
Dzeko on the run crossed his foot, hit the inside of his foot, changed direction, hit the inside of the post, and rolled into the Everton goal.

"Edin Dzeko!!, he scored for Manchester City!, 2-2!, Manchester City equalised!"
"The goal came so easily...... Dzeko! He's unmarked! Chances like that mean goals for him...... He made it!
After scoring the goal, Dzeko started running, and after a few steps, he fell to his knees with his arms outstretched, looking up at the sky. But he saw a face, this was Yang Fan's face, and the Manchester City captain laughed and pressed down on him.
"Bastardβdon't. β
"Haha, I'm here. β
"What the hellβ"
Amid Dzeko's wails, more City players swarmed to pinn the two to the bottom. In fact, it's a very popular way for footballers to celebrate, whether it's being pressed or being pressed, the former being the goalkeeper and the hero of the team at times like this, the latter because they're happy with the team's performance, and of course, being able to press someone else is a reason to be happy, isn't it?
Dzeko scored and equalised.
Roberto Mancini celebrates with his arms raised.
David Moyes, on the other hand, was just a little bit away from having narrowly missed the break with the lead before allowing City to score in the final moments.
The big screen was defending against Manchester City's goal.
Yang Fan's sudden breakthrough with the ball attracted the attention of the entire Everton backline, Everton players chased and intercepted, blocking Yang Fan near the sideline, thinking that the beast was bolted into the cage, but Yang Fan actually passed the football out, the front point of Ballack's shovel shot has scared the Everton back line a big jump, and the back point of Dzeko is completely leaking!
Let a shooter of Dzeko's level hit an empty goal unguarded, and the result can be imagined!
There is no doubt about the goal!
Although this goal was scored by Dzeko, most of the credit for this goal is due to Yang Fan, who ran long distances with the ball and assisted!
Yang Fan!
Moyes said the name in his mind. He felt that this Chinese boy was really a disaster for himself...... Until now, some Manchester United fans still insist that Moyes insisted on selling Yang Fan in the first place, and these fans hate Moyes to the core.
Inside the stadium, the Manchester City people returned to their respective positions after the celebration.
The camera gave Yang Fan, and the smile on his face was so bright.
