Chapter 423: Homeopathy
If Stoke City started the game like madmen, since Tony Pulis gave the order, the Stoke City players have truly become beasts.
They were even more fierce and ruthless than they had just been.
The referee finally caught a couple of Stoke City fouls, and two yellow cards came out of his pocket without hesitation.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be a deterrent to Stoke City's players.
Under Stoke City's unscrupulous style of play, Manchester City's players finally felt a little weak, they didn't say that they were afraid of how sharp Stoke City's attack was, they were just afraid that Stoke City's players would not be able to hold back.
After all, everyone eats this bowl of rice, and they can't afford to abolish their opponents because of a game.
It's just that Manchester City's players think so, but Stoke City doesn't.
Even though it's just a league game, they know what they're going to do, the season is coming to an end and every league point is crucial for them now.
As for the career?
As long as you are afraid, I will not ruin your career.
Mindset determines state.
When the mentality of the two sides is not equal, the strength of the players will naturally be unequal.
Manchester City's players are still struggling to stick to the tactics of defending one by one, but in attack, to be honest, they are a bit restricted.
Dzeko and the others' slight attack in exchange for a sliding tackle.
Although Stoke City have tackled the right tackles so far, depending on their form, the likelihood of a bad tackle will only be high, not low.
One weak and one strong.
Take it away and put it away.
On the field, Stoke City suddenly became the dominant side.
And that advantage also means Stoke City have more attacking opportunities.
So the air raid sirens sounded again over the Etihad Stadium.
In the 32nd minute, Stoke City once again found an opportunity to drop bombs in the air.
A corner kick swept over the heads of countless people and finally landed on the near post in the penalty area.
And at this time, in the forbidden area of the melee, everyone began to run towards this goal, jumping, tearing off, jumping again, tearing off again.
Although everyone's movements were small, the intensity of the action made everyone nervous.
But when a story has a beginning, there is always an ending.
As a crowd scrambled for possession, Stoke City's Peter Crouch once again used his tall stature to his advantage.
Standing two meters tall and weighing 84 kilograms, he was like a giant, jumping high in the crowd and being the first to grab the landing point of the football.
A lion shakes its head.
Just as he was about to get the football, a slap appeared in front of his eyes.
"Smack" football flew off the field like an arrow off the string.
Grass!
Peter Crouch was furious.
And look at the figure that is still in the air in front of him.
He immediately restrained his tendency to lean back, he leaned forward slightly, and his whole body suddenly pressed towards Ye Xin.
And in the process of pressing forward, Crouch lifted his elbow slightly.
"Knock"
"Knock"
Both landed on the ground at the same time.
"Tick!" The referee's shrill whistle blows, throw-in.
It's just that no one paid attention to the throw-in at this time, everyone ran to Manchester City's goal, and Kompany and others immediately rushed to the referee.
"It's definitely a malicious ram against the goalkeeper!"
"Must be a red card!"
"Stoke City players are doing this, are you blind?"
"I'm going to complain about you! What do you do?"
Just let the Manchester City players protest, the referee is still expressionless.
Stoke City did not interfere with the goalkeeper's jump, and the second did not have direct physical contact with the goalkeeper, and then the two fell only due to the unstable center of gravity after jumping.
The referee, who didn't see Stoke's hidden little moves, was once again on Stoke's side.
"Ye, are you okay?"
"Do you want to call a team doctor?"
Ye Xin's fall to the ground suddenly shocked the Chinese people, and Mancini on the sidelines was even more anxious, he quickly recruited the team doctor, ready to carry Ye Xin off the field at any time.
The entire Etihad Stadium fell silent, with everyone watching with concern as they watched the situation in front of the Manchester City goal.
But just as Mancini was about to let the team doctor in, the figure stood up again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay," Ye Xin rubbed his chest while giving his nearby teammates a reassuring look.
"Cao, this group of **** raised, Ye, I'll avenge you" Although Lescott is usually silent in Manchester City, but at this time he is ready to roll up his sleeves and do it, of course, Ye Xin's attack is a reason, and more importantly, he has long been unhappy with Stoke City, what is the point of this kind of fighting-style kicking, it is better to fight directly.
"Don't be impulsive, I'm really fine" Ye Xin hurriedly grabbed the impulsive Lescott, he really didn't have much to do, he could predict the landing point of the football and naturally predict Crouch's small movements, but he couldn't have both, if he wanted to shoot this shot, it was impossible to dodge this elbow blow at the same time.
Of course, there may be a plan, but the time is too short, and Ye Xin didn't have a chance to think about it, but fortunately, he made a little preparation, and quickly twisted away after shooting the football, so Crouch's last moment actually didn't hit him directly, at most it was just a hard rub on Ye Xin's chest.
Ye Xin's firmness made Lescott dispel the idea of going to fight, to be honest, he was just a whim, when someone stopped him, his mind immediately cleared up, at this time, provoking trouble is definitely not beneficial, not only so that Stoke City can not get the punishment they deserve, but even more in their hands.
So Lescott could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath.
It's just that if there is the first day of junior high school, there will be fifteen.
Just six minutes later, Stoke City once again provoked the wrath of the whole city.
With a high-tossing grenade from the sidelines, Stoke City once again had air dominance, and although Crouch did not become the protagonist of the shot this time, one of his crosses allowed Steven Nsonzi, who was following up in front, to find an opportunity to play a pick-and-roll pass.
Once again, the soccer ball is flying high.
And Stoke City's Roberts had already picked up Nsonzi's signal.
They practiced countless times in training, and once again played on the Etihad Stadium.
At the same time, Ye Xin also jumped again.
The scene of Stoke City's first header on the pitch suddenly overlapped with the present.
Similarly, Ye Xin once again relied on the advantage of touching the height to take off the football on Roberts's head.
It's just that Roberts did the same thing as Crouch, and he fell towards Ye Xin after losing the ball.
