1469 Blue Moon Left Behind!
Arsenal host Manchester City.
Mars collides with the Earth!
The scene in the game was extremely hot, and Arsenal fans first pulled out banners in the stands to ridicule Nasri as ****.
In the fierce confrontation between the two teams, it was Arsenal who were more able to create great chances on goal at home.
The Gunners, who hit the post with three shots in succession, left the fans in the stands very anxious.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have struggled to create a dangerous attack, with their recent poor results combined with sharp clashes in the dressing room making it seem like they are starting to lose their spirits.
Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 87th minute when Arteta fired into the bottom right corner from 25 yards out against Lescott's defence!
In addition to the celebration of the Arsenal players and the excitement of the Arsenal fans falling from the sky, the camera freezes the scene of a young Manchester City fan in the stands crying for a long time.
Manchester City fans left the stadium early, and Arsenal fans began to dance the Poznan dance to taunt Manchester City.
In the 89th minute, Balotelli was sent off for tackling Sagna in front of the court and accumulating two yellow cards, and Mancini also urged him to hurry up so as not to delay the game.
Unfortunately, City were unable to equalise in the end.
Arsenal beat Manchester City 1-0 at home!
After back-to-back draws, Manchester City suffered defeat!
The defeat at the Emirates Stadium all but dashed Manchester City's hopes of beating Manchester United and Liverpool to lift the Premier League trophy, but it looks like Mancini is still not throwing in the towel.
In his post-match press conference, when asked by the BBC if the league had ended, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini firmly denied it: "No, it's not true, in the world of football, you can't say anything until the last minute, never say never." This season I always thought we could succeed, we had a fantastic season and we had to finish it beautifully as well. ”
At the same time, Roberto Mancini admits the title has been tough for City this season, especially after Manchester United's comfortable win over Queens Park Rangers and the fact that City were beaten by Mikel Arteta's world-class striker.
'We've picked up 15 more points than we did last season and it's really hard for us to win trophies now, but we can expect Liverpool and Manchester United to make some mistakes and drop some points before the derby and we'll find out after that. We still have a chance to fight for the remaining 18 league points with Manchester United and Liverpool, and for us, after all, we have done a fantastic job in the first 28 or 29 games of the season, so we shouldn't give up hope. ”
'It's hard to get the players back in the current situation, but after all we have the next game in three days' time, so we have to keep ourselves up. We are a team full of professionalism and made up of the most dedicated players. The most important thing for us now is to get back to winning and finish the season. Anyway, theoretically we still have a chance to win the title, so we'll try to win it in three days' time. The spirit of not giving up until the last minute should last a lifetime, and even if we don't win the title in the end, it only means that United are playing too well, not that we are playing poorly. ”
Balotelli was sent off for two yellow cards in the final stages of the game, and as early as the 10th minute of the game, Balotelli's malicious stampede on Alexander Song, which was ignored by the referee, should have brought him a red card directly, and Mancini also expressed his dissatisfaction with Balotelli's performance today: "I sat on the bench and didn't see the first tackle, but I see it now, Mario did get a red card after 10 minutes of play, but he wasn't sent off until there were minutes left in the game. I feel very sorry for him, and I have nothing to say about what he has done. ”
Ba Shen's bad behavior of trampling Song escaped the eyes of today's referee Atkinson, but it could not escape the camera, which is likely to subject him to a more serious ban, and for this disciple who will never learn to obey, Mancini has no choice but to admit: "I would prefer Balotelli to be punished by the FA, he should be punished once and for a sufficiently severe ban." I've been defending him for the past two years, but he's still the way he is, and there's nothing I can do about him. He needs to realise that he's going down the wrong path, and if Mario doesn't come to his senses, I have to agree with Mourinho's statement that Mario is 'unmanageable'. ”
Mancini has clearly run out of patience with Balotelli and has publicly stated that he will abandon Balotelli for the rest of the season, and may even sell him this summer: "I've really had enough of him! We have six league games remaining this season and Balotelli won't be featured in those six games. There's a good chance I'll sell Balotelli at the end of the season, but I don't know right now. What are you all looking forward to Mario doing when he leaves England? If Mario stays in the Premier League, you should celebrate his stay. It's rare for a character like him to be able to provide one, two, or even three pages of material to a newspaper every week. ”
When Manchester City began to fall behind, Fleet Street fell into the trap of Manchester City, and the public opinion attack intensified!
The Times published a report commenting on Manchester City.
According to statistics, the Gunners' starting 11 tonight reached a purchase price of 45.55 million pounds, but even Manchester City's bench players are worth 113.5 million pounds, nearly three times the main squad of Arsenal. However, despite such a huge value difference, Manchester City still lost to Arsenal tonight and lost completely! Manchester City, which is worth a total of 312 million pounds, unexpectedly handed over a "zero shot" result!
Despite their large number of players, Manchester City have relied too heavily on David Silva in attack, and the Spaniard's form parabola is completely in line with the team's record.
Manchester City has only won 1 game in the last 5 rounds of the Premier League, from 2 points ahead of Manchester United after the 27th round of the Premier League on March 5, to 7 points behind Manchester United after 32 rounds of games today, Manchester City was chased by 9 points in 35 days! At the same time, it is also behind Liverpool by 5 points!
Another player who can influence City on a personal basis is Yaya Toure, the new 'Gullit' Ivorian who left for the Africa Cup of Nations a month and a half, during which City were knocked out of the FA Cup and League Cup. After Yaya Toure left the field with an injury in the 15th minute of the game tonight, the midfield led by Nasri had neither attack nor defense, and the central axis of Nasri + Barry was hit by Rosicky, Benayoun and others, which made Aguero, a super striker, isolated and reduced to an ornament.
On the premise that there are only 6 rounds left in the league and 7 points behind, if Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa, and Everton cannot let Manchester United lose points, then the home game against Manchester United on April 30 will become a battle of Manchester City's dignity. (To be continued.) )
