John has scored three goals this season and is one of the most consistent players in the entire Manchester City team, Ranieri was supposed to start with John and Orcas, but the Cypriot suffered a toe injury and had to be replaced by Vassell, and the England fringe international has yet to score a goal this season and is hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback.

Wenger did not use the strange formation of the previous game, this formation is like Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, it can only be used once, and it will not work if it is used too much, and Manchester City and Reading are not the same, and using this formation to deal with Ranieri is undoubtedly self-defeating. On the forward line, Wenger sent Kicic and Huntelaar, using Kicic to be based on the general height of Manchester City's backline, while Huntelaar took the initiative to ask for help, and he could not beat John in the competition of the national team, so he hoped to be able to be ashamed in the club game. The rest of the positions were basically the main force in the first two rounds, only Kompany had a cold and was replaced by Frenchman Rosenard.

Both teams have a large number of newcomers joining this season, so in terms of tacit understanding, it is basically half a pound, and Schmeichel's fatherly style has made him selected for the Danish 21-year-old national team, and his recent form has been quite good, Manchester City fans believe that having him in front of the goal line is an important guarantee for Manchester City to win this game.

Sure enough, Huntelaar and Joyder had good chances in succession for the first five minutes of the game, but Schmeichel, who was agile, took the ball with ease.

"Damn, is he a fairy?" While retreating, Huntelaar muttered in his mouth, a chance he thought he would have to score actually made that kid magically press the ball under him, missing this opportunity to lead John, which made Huntelaar very depressed.

"Hey, buddy, don't you have to do this, isn't it just an opportunity?" A familiar voice sounded in Huntelaar's ears, Huntelaar deliberately didn't look at John's eyes when he shook hands at the beginning just now, and the two didn't communicate, and now John saw Huntelaar's disappointed look, and laughed on the side.

In fact, the two not only did not have much of a holiday, but also had a good relationship when they were children, John was two years younger than Huntelaar, and the Twente team when he was in the junior team was not as famous as Huntelaar's Eindhoven team, but the two once met in a football summer camp and later kept in touch, the difference is that Huntelaar went to Heerenveen to start playing senior team games, and then began to shine in the Ajax team, while John went to England when he was not yet eighteen years old, and at the age of 19 he made 27 league appearances for Fulham.

In the national team career has been Huntelaar is much higher than John, known for the talent of Armor Huntelaar has always been favored by Van Basten, when he scored the tenth goal for the national team, John was selected for the first time Basten's successor Van Gaal's national team, but in recent times John has basically played on the field, and Huntelaar has not even been able to be selected for Van Gaal's squad twice.

This sudden change was unacceptable to Huntelaar, so he deliberately acted very cold to John.

'I'm going to score today.' Huntelaar muttered to himself, and John smiled.

Brazil's midfielder Ennio has organised Manchester City's attack well and is not inferior to Holder's, while another veteran midfielder, Dabbo, is a standard scavenger, building an effective defensive line in front of the centre-backs, while Italian international Diana from Palermo and Scotland's new favourite left winger Wallace continue to challenge Carazer and Manchester City veteran Richards.

Willingham's players, like a fierce tiger meeting a calm hunter, seem to have a lot of opportunities, but they can't take advantage of the advantage every time, and they are constantly hit by John's counterattack to Lao Liu's heart.

Although the score was 0-0 in the first half, the 48,000 spectators at the Manchester Stadium watched with relish, and it was clear that Manchester City controlled the tempo of the game well in the first half.

At halftime, Arsene Wenger replaced Kicic with Anelka, hoping to use his height to grab points to create opportunities for Huntelaar, but there were not many chances for Keic throughout the first half, probably because the midfielders of Willingham had not fully adapted to the tall man's standing habits in the penalty area, and the passing ball was destroyed by the Manchester City defender first.

Even if Anelka is replaced, Wenger is still mentally prepared for a difficult game in the second half, playing against an old fox like Ranieri, and the strength of the two sides is such a balance, it may be difficult to break this balance until the final stage of the game, unless there are some special conditions on the field.

However, less than a minute into the second half, there was a really, really special situation on the field.

After Willingham kicked off, after two inverted feet, the ball reached the area of 35 on the left side of the Manchester City penalty area, Jim Bullard took the ball and was about to break through, but seeing that Jordan was pressing, he had to bring it back, this is Helder slanted from behind him, Brad comprehended the ball with his heel and knocked the ball to Held, Helde did not stop the ball, just twisted his waist and legs near the sideline, and a high ball was directly transferred to the penalty area, which was Anelka just ran to the outside of the penalty area, and Huntelaar was also on the edge of the penalty area, There was no chance to grab a point at all, and Schmeichel Jr. exclaimed, "Mine. "City's defenders are ready to wait for the goalkeeper to attack.

Unexpectedly, the flight path of the ball in the air was very strange, there seemed to be a strong gust of wind, or Held's kick with a spin on his feet, the ball suddenly floated when it fell, Schmeichel did not grasp the ball, the ball slid down his hand and hit his back, and bounced to the goalpost and into the net.

Everyone was stunned, including Held, who scored the goal, and everyone didn't understand why the goal had gone in this way.

After the game, the reporter asked Held, and the Hungarian honestly admitted that he had no intention of shooting at all, but he saw that the opportunity to break through and pass the ball was not good, so he kicked it like this, and as a result, he didn't understand.

I don't understand, but Manchester City are still behind, and Ranieri is not in any hurry or uneasy off the field, and he believes that John will bring him victory.

However, as time passes, Ranieri's confidence is slowly decreasing, and John is entangled by Van den Boray, it seems, is Manchester City going to lose at home again?

At this time, Dabo was suddenly injured, Ranieri looked at the players on the bench, the first substitute in the defensive midfield was the Czech player Borak from Nuremberg, but Ranieri skipped him, "Sun, you go." ”

Sun Jihai came on as a substitute for Da Bo in the middle of the midfield, and the game was over with less than 20 minutes to go.

In the 85th minute, Manchester City won a corner kick, Sun Jihai took the penalty, it was a strong external spin ball, Dunn jumped high and headed the ball into the goal from Rozenal.

"Well done, Sun." The quality of the ball sent by Jihai was so high that the Manchester City fans in the stadium shouted Sun Jihai's name.

The game ended in a draw, and Wenger was a little embarrassed, saying to Lao Liu, "You Chinese are really difficult, you should have scored three points, alas." ”
