Chapter 97: Let you swallow it back in minutes
"Blue Moon! Blue Moon! Blue Moon! ”
“bluemoon,yousawmestandingalone!”
"Onward, Blue Moon !!"
…
As Foy led the players of the two teams into the stadium, the entire Manchester City Stadium immediately burst into high cheers.
Although City have always lived in the shadow of their neighbours, there is no doubt that City fans will never betray their loyalty to the team.
Manchester City still have enough supporters to fill the stadium, which can accommodate nearly 50,000 people.
The hoarse cheers sounded, even if the opponent was strong, at this moment, it could not press the 'fish belly' Manchester City in momentum.
What's more, since last year, this fish belly army has been transformed and turned into a gold master.
Especially after the arrival of the Middle East oil daddy, Manchester City has become a golden empire that can compete with the Chelsea ruble army.
The confidence of the people of Manchester City is no longer a swollen face and a fat man, but a real haircut.
Starting eleven: 1-Hart; 5 - Zabaleta, 22 - Dunn, 2 - Richards, 15 - Garrido; 33 - Kompany, 7 - Erland, 12 - Vassell, 8 - Wright. Phillips; 9 - Adebayo, 10 - Robinho
Except for Hart and Richards, the other nine were all brought in by Mark Hughes with a high value of millions and tens of millions.
Especially Adebayor and Robinho up front, one is £32 million and the other is £38 million, with a total price of more than £60 million.
Not to mention the Premier League, even in European football, it is one of the most valuable combinations.
However, it is a pity that the high value is not all high returns, and Adebayo has not regained the feeling of killing in the Premier League last season, and only scored four goals after more than a dozen games.
And the bicycle teenager Robinho is really a teenager, in addition to the nightclub is homesick, and the goal is only one more than that of the Togolese.
In the new season, although Manchester City's true color has faded, it is not a big one, let alone a giant.
After thirteen rounds, they only have a goal difference advantage and push Fulham to sit in seventh place.
As for Arsenal, it is only one point away from them, a game difference.
Therefore, this game is not only Adebayo's love and enmity against his old master, nor is it just a personal grudge against Xiang Hao, but also a direct competition between the two teams, and no one can be careless.
From the very beginning of the game, there is no need for much mobilization, and everyone knows that their boss is bound to win this game.
Arsenal can't afford to lose again, and Manchester City have to win at home.
The boss behind Hughes definitely doesn't want to see him spend so much money to buy a large number of young and energetic players, and he can't get a group of children.
What's more, this group of children still have to play games on the weekend, a Champions League group stage that is related to qualifying, this game, is to fight with the opponent who is more determined.
Hughes transferred all the pressure behind him to the players, and in this game, his team had only one tactic - grab!
So at the beginning of the game, Manchester City's players were like crazy wolves when they didn't have an advantage in possession.
It's very simple, my skills are not as good as yours, at this time, I will bet with you on physical fitness and body.
Even if I foul, I'm going to disrupt your game, drain your stamina, and force you to 'give up' for the group stage.
"Bang!"
Another scramble.
Collided with Adebayo's iron arm again, Xiang Hao felt that the other party was still strengthening, and his waist and eyes were also pressed against the other party's hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Xiang Hao's mouth, "Come back, are you persistent." ’
Xiang Hao is not afraid to fight against the other party's body at all, but he doesn't want to fight with him. Xiang Hao rushed forward, shook off him, followed the center of gravity, and suddenly braked, which immediately deceived Adebayo and made his whole body move.
Xiang Hao took advantage of this vacancy, the whole person retracted, supported by the strong waist and abdominal strength, turned around leisurely, and completely broke free from his pressing.
"Damn, you don't want to go!"
Adebayo's clumsy body ate a feint from Xiang Hao, and he didn't know how much slower it was, so he could only pull Xiang Hao's shoulder with his hand, calling anxiously and angrily.
Foy's whistle was all over his lips, ready to blow for a foul.
However, Xiang Hao didn't give the referee a chance to perform, and seeing that he had a trick, Xiang Hao was even more disdainful: he shot in a hurry, this kind of strength is just a struggle.
Xiang Hao snatched his hand directly from the opponent's pull, and also grabbed a space, and quickly advanced with the ball.
This is the fifth time that Xiang Hao has taken the ball past Adebayo, and the Togolese who said before the game that he would teach Xiang Hao to play football every minute has long lost his sharpness before the start of the game on the court.
And as Xiang Hao advanced with the ball, the entire Arsenal offensive accelerated.
"Stop him! Don't let him make moves lightly! ”
Hughes saw Xiang Hao protruding with the ball, standing on the sidelines and shouting loudly, asking his players to go up and interfere with Xiang Hao.
Hughes is not the second Togolese man, he naturally understands the danger of Xiang Hao rushing up, and when he saw Xiang Hao taking the ball and breaking through, Hughes immediately woke up.
In fact, even if Hughes didn't shout, the Manchester City players knew what to do, because Hughes didn't shout less before the game.
So Xiang Hao hasn't taken the ball out of five meters yet, the opponent's No. 12 Vassell has already pounced, and behind him, Adebayo, who was squeezed away by himself, stuck up again and wanted to form a trap for himself.
Xiang Hao's vision swept clearly, saw the dense line in the midfield, and immediately distributed the ball to Walcott on the right side, and immediately retreated.
Walcott took the ball and wanted to use his speed to sprint, but at this time, it was not the stupid big man who was following him, but Wright? Phillips.
The adopted son of former Arsenal's all-time top scorer Wright, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, is incredibly fast and his first step is equally impressive.
Walcott's speed advantage is simply not exerted in front of him, and there is another one, and Walcott is only nineteen years old now.
In the high speed, his strength could not resist Wright at all, and he did not rush out of 10 meters, Walcott had to step on the ball, and chose to hand it over at the first time.
Walcott's ability to hold the ball at his feet is basically zero, and Arsenal's tactical system does not require him to have the ability to carry the ball.
Now there are Xiang Hao, Fabregas, and Nasri on the field, all of whom are players with strong ball-handling ability, and Van Persie is also counted, so Walcott only needs to pass the ball accurately, and then go to the position by himself.
The ball went to the midfield again and went to Xiang Hao's feet.
But before Xiang Hao made a choice, Erland came here again, saw the opportunity, and the first time was that he chopped over with a big foot and wanted to break the ball.
Xiang Hao pulled back suddenly, his body to the side, and while protecting the ball, he also stood in the position first, ready to make the second move.
But at the moment when Xiang Hao turned around to protect the ball, another figure from the side attacked, but the ball was also rushing.
Adebayo saw Xiang Hao pull the ball behind him, his body had not completely shifted, his big foot was extended, and his knee was also pushed over.
"Ahh
When Xiang Hao transferred the ball to the other side, the whole person was also overshadowed by him.
The muscles on the outside of his thigh seemed to have been hit with a stone, and the pain was unbearable, and his injured right ankle was even more struck, and Xiang Hao, who had lost his center of gravity, screamed and fell on the turf.
"!! Toot
Foy saw the movements of the yin man behind Adebayo, and for the first time, he blew the whistle and beckoned Adebayo with his hook, "Pay attention to your movements." ”
In the opening 20 minutes or so, Adebayo's pressing action against Xiang Hao was not small, and this foul was directed at people.
Foy was not polite, and directly gave a yellow card to the Togolese, warning and deterring at the same time.
Foy is unlikely to give Manchester City any home whistle in this game.
The reason is very simple, this is the first game of Xiang Hao's comeback after a major injury, according to Xiang Hao's current limelight that is being hyped by the media, the eyes of many fans, especially female fans, are paying attention to this game, which can be said to be the target of the public.
In this game, Manchester City launched this kind of wolf pack tactics, and Xiang Hao, who is the offensive and defensive hub of the whole team, is undoubtedly the target they are targeting.
No matter who enforces the game, there will be a relatively strict control of the action.
Wenger has been complaining about the scale of these referees, and this time Xiang Hao was deliberately injured again, I'm afraid things will be fun.
The FA also gave Arsene Wenger a 'compensation' for what happened before, which is the balance and the benefit of rights.
After receiving this yellow card, Adebayo's face darkened, and he glanced at Xiang Hao with a gloomy face, and then retreated to his own half, secretly holding his breath in his heart.
In the opening period, Adebayo played quite depressed.
As a striker, he has to do defensive work, which is a little aggrieved in itself, but fortunately, the person he defends is his big enemy, and Adebayo can still accept it.
But who knows that he has repeatedly suffered losses in direct conversations with the great enemy.
That person's strength and speed are combined, and he can't keep up with his own movements at all, and he can't grab the opponent's forcing at all, and he has repeatedly 'played' the other party.
On the offensive end, as the bridgehead of the frontcourt, his size was also suppressed by the bounce of the big enemy, and he robbed several headers.
Before the game, he said that he wanted to give the other party a good look and teach him to be a man every minute, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by him.
was passed five times, failed to force it once, and did nothing on the offensive end, his momentum has already been suppressed unconsciously as the game progresses.
As for the words he said before the game, during the game, Xiang Hao made him swallow it back in minutes.
Adebayo really kicked more and more impatiently, and naturally he couldn't stop his movements, and even went directly to Xiang Hao's right ankle that had just recovered from an injury.
'It's a bad foul, a red card foul.
If that's what Adebayo did to deliver on what he said before the fight, then the stadium might as well be converted into a boxing ring.
Who wouldn't foul behind him, kick someone else's injured part, is this a game, is this the proof that the Togolese people say, the Togolese people really think differently from others, and they are really despicable enough.
This foul, except for proving his incompetence and lies, he can't prove anything else at all, I hope Hao is okay. ”
When Mortenson saw the foul replayed, he lashed out at Adebayo almost like thunder.
The camera also gave Adebayo for the first time, and it goes without saying that with this foul, everything Adebayo said before the game turned into shit, and the bottom of the loss fell.
