Rumble!
Charge the goalkeeper!
It's definitely a ramming goalkeeper!
The Etihad Stadium suddenly exploded, and the fans stood up and scolded, if the ball was unstable just now, it would have been forgotten if Crouch's center of gravity was unstable, and this ball, Roberts's forward leaning was too obvious, even a fool could see that he was deliberate.
And this time, of course, the referee did not choose to be a fool.
He quickly ran towards the goal, pulling cards in his pocket as he ran.
It's just that just when he was about to arrive in front of Manchester City's goal, a scene appeared that Manchester City fans couldn't believe.
Lescott landed a right hook straight into Roberts' chin.
The Stoke City players rushed over.
Manchester City's players naturally did not show weakness, and the players on both sides quickly gathered around the goal, pushing and shoving to start the warm-up before the big game.
The referee blew his whistle quickly.
To be honest, he didn't expect this, he didn't expect his few yellow cards to have no warning effect on Stoke City, and he didn't expect that City's players seemed to be getting very bloody.
However, he will not tolerate Lescott's active aggression.
What he has to do now is to cut through the mess quickly, if this conflict is not resolved quickly, this league is estimated to be no longer comparable, and the termination of this game in his own hands is also a stain on his refereeing career.
So without hesitation, he immediately pulled out the red card.
As soon as the players on both sides saw the red card, their arrogance suddenly dissipated a little.
It's just that when the referee trotted all the way to Lescote and raised the red card, the Manchester City players immediately surrounded him.
However, the referee did not panic at the moment, he stretched out his palm to ask to keep his distance from him, and then unhurriedly pulled out another red card.
The City players immediately stopped their movements and watched as the referee continued to trot all the way to Roberts, who was still holding a body on the ground.
Red!
Two red cards in one attack.
……
"We need to calm down now!"
"There aren't many league games left, and I don't want any of you to get sent off again! Jonathan, you're banned for two games! Do you think you're secure at City? That's how you set an example of your veterans? And Vincent, that's how you captained? Do you want them to fight before you're ready to pull it, or are you going to take the lead? ”
Mancini was furious at half-time, never expecting Jonathan Lescott to be so impulsive, and although Stoke City's pesky striker Roberts was also sent off, City didn't take advantage of it too much.
A striker like Roberts is easy to find, but a good defender like Lescott is much rarer, and his replacement of Roberts in the league seemed to Mancini to be stupid.
"Head, it's none of the captain's business, they treat Ye ...... like that"
Before Lescott could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Mancini.
"That's not the reason!" However, after glancing at Ye Xin, Mancini's tone softened slightly.
"I know Stoke have a dirty style of play, but are we going to fight them if they're dirty? Forget it this time, I don't want to pursue it again, but I don't want a next time, Jonathan, you know? ”
“…… I understand" Lescote looked at Ye Xin, who was speechless, and then looked at Mancini, and sighed long, why did I speak for you, but you didn't react at all, Lescott suddenly felt a feeling of being abandoned, he thought that he and Ye Xin had become real teammates after so many games, but he didn't expect that Manchester City's Black Moon didn't seem to have any teammates for him.
"Ye, do you have any problems, the second half of the game is ......" To be honest, Mancini wants to change Ye Xin now, but there are only eight games left before the end of the Premier League, and Manchester City is still in seventh place, so every next game is crucial for Manchester City, Joe Hart is not without the idea of playing, but Joe Hart's state is like buying a lottery ticket, if it is a weak chicken team, forget it, but now Mancini does not want to put the team's results on luck.
"I'm fine" Ye Xin unconsciously touched the pain under his ribs.
Mancini frowned slightly when he saw Ye Xin's movements, but after thinking about it, he asked again.
"Ye, don't force yourself, if you can't do it......"
"I'm fine, I can keep playing"
"Well, then it's hard for you" Mancini nodded and didn't ask Ye Xin again, he has a lot to do now, because of the lack of one person, Manchester City's style of play will definitely change, as the head coach at the moment he has to re-sort out his thinking and talk to the players of Manchester City, he doesn't want anyone to surprise him in the second half like Lexter.
The half-time break passed quickly, and everyone except Lescott began to get up and walk towards the players' tunnel one after another.
Lescott covered his head with a towel over him and sat in his chair without saying a word, and many Manchester City players passing by him tapped him on the shoulder.
And when Ye Xin passed by, he stopped.
Then Lescott, who was still full of resentment, laughed.
"I'll avenge you"
Ye Xin's promise broke up the original resentment in Lescott's heart, so when all the players left, Lescott immediately ran to the management room of the Etihad Stadium, and with the help of the administrator, he quickly came to the floor-to-ceiling window viewing area of the Etihad Stadium.
……
The second half of the game began with the fans invecting Stoke City, except for the big moves on both sides that were slightly restrained, the heat was not much worse than the first half.
Stoke City continued to make small moves, but City calmed down a lot after Mancini's warning.
They continued to carry out the tactics of defending one by one.
And Stoke City's air attack tactics also began to play out in front of Manchester City's goal as always, although Stoke City failed to grab the landing point in several high crosses, but the opportunity was found in the effort again and again.
And Crouch's efforts earned him another chance.
The twelfth minute of the second half.
Crouch's tall frame once again flew into the City penalty area.
And it was still Ye Xin's figure that flew up with him, although his height was not as tall as Crouch, but when Ye Xin jumped, no one thought that his hands would not be able to touch the football.
Sure enough, Ye Xin shot this high ball cross accurately as always, but the matter was not over yet, at this time everyone looked at the door a little nervously, but fortunately, this time Crouch finally did not pretend to be unstable and prepared to Yin Ye Xin again.
It seems that the referee's red card is still quite useful.
It's just that despite this, after Crouch landed, he still spat heavily in front of Ye Xin.
"Oh, sooner or later, I'll go in one."
Ye Xin looked at the tall striker of Stoke City with an expressionless face, listening to the words that were not clean in his mouth.
Suddenly, Ye Xin made a stunned move.
He raised his right hand in the air.
Four fingers are gently bent.
Then he snapped it on his thumb.
