Chapter 37: Reversal and Red Card!

When Lin Quan completed the steal, the Manchester City frontcourt players immediately launched an attack.

Sergio Aguero ran diagonally in front of Lin Quan to the right, pulling CSKA Moscow's defensive formation while taking a defender with him.

Navas ran deep, dragging the opposing full-back, preventing him from coming forward to press Lin Quan.

Xavi Garcia is behind Lin Quan as a protection point, and if the forward attack can't be beaten, he can at least pass back to the midfielder to let him control the rhythm so as not to be counterattacked by the opponent.

After a month or two of adjustments, City's attacking tactics have become very rich and reasonable.

But even so, Lin Quan still has a defender by his side.

Although in the first 20 minutes, Lin Quan did not show the super strength of a top star.

But the CSKA Moscow players still didn't dare to be careless, because the coach had specifically told him before the game that he couldn't give this guy any chance.

It's just that they only sent one person to defend Lin Quan, which is a bit too much to look down on!

There were no fancy moves, Lin Quan used a croquette that was fast to the peak, and easily passed the other party.

Seeing that his teammates were passed, CSKA Moscow's central defender Ignashevic had to come forward to intercept Lin Quan, the opponent had already hit the line of the big penalty area, and if he didn't grab it, he would give the opponent a chance to shoot from a distance.

However, as soon as he grabbed it, the space behind him immediately leaked out.

Lin Quan decisively passed the ball to Aguero, and he shook off Ignashevic's entanglement and headed towards the penalty area.

Sergio Aguero was smart enough to send a through ball behind the opposition defender.

The cooperation between the two was very tacit, and Aguero's pass just caught up with Lin Quan's run.

With no one to defend, Lin Quan received a pass from his teammates, shot with one foot, and scored the ball lightly.

The score became 1-1 and City quickly equalised the scoreline.

“GOAL!!! In the 24th minute of the first half, Lin Quan helped Manchester City equalize! ”

"This ball is purely Lin Quan's personal strength, in the heads-up with Keisuke Honda, Lin Quan relied on his strong physical confrontation ability to complete the break, Manchester City broke the ball in front of the field and fought a counterattack on the spot, the football flew into the net of CSKA Moscow after two passes, Manchester City's attack played smoothly and concisely!"

"Hehe, Keisuke Honda may not have expected that Lin Quan's physical confrontation ability would be so strong!"

"Yes, Lin Quan is a lot shorter than him, and he doesn't look like that kind of strong player on the outside, but Keisuke Honda seems to have forgotten that Lin Quan is a super goalscorer who has proven himself in the Premier League.

If his physical ability is very poor, how can he score so many goals under the defence of the Premier League's wolf-like defenders? ”

"So, the Japanese really chose the wrong opponent this time!"

The two commentators criticized it tactfully, but the fans were not merciful at all.

"Stupid Japanese, I really think I can touch porcelain with Lin Huang, and I don't want to think about what grade of player you are!"

"Lin Huang can eat the existence of Premier League defenders raw, this guy, let the Premier League go to estimate that he will be kicked out by the defenders in less than three games!"

"This stupid fork, every time I see him dyed his hair yellow, I will respond to it!"

"Hehe, this is the same skin as Dazuo's military uniform, so it's better to call him Dazuo!"

Fans don't like Keisuke Honda, in addition to his Japanese identity, it has to do with his penchant for marketing and hyping himself.

And the kind of face-to-face and back-to-back approach of the players in small days is also very criticized.

Compared with the criticism of Chinese fans, on the Japanese side, the Japanese fans who watched this game couldn't help but exclaim one by one!

"Si Guoyi, Lin Sang is too powerful!"

"Is this the level of the world's top players?"

"It turns out that the physical confrontation ability of the yellow race can be so strong, it seems that it is not that the yellow race is not good, but we are not good!"

"When will there be a strong man like Lin Sang in our country?"

The Japanese Muqiang psychology is very serious, for those who are stronger than them, they can lick you until you doubt life!

Counting the previous matches against Shinji Kagawa in the Premier League, Atsuto Uchida in the Bundesliga, and this game against Japanese players such as Keisuke Honda, Hayashi Quan won all of them, and it was a landslide victory.

So the Japanese were completely convinced, and when the Koreans were still researching Lin Quan's Korean ancestry, they had already begun to worship Lin Quan, and even planned to set up Lin Quan's Japanese Fan Support Association......

……

After Manchester City's equaliser, the situation on the pitch changed a lot.

Manchester City, who are in better form, have basically adapted to the rhythm of the game in this cold weather at this time.

As a result, they began to gradually exert their strength, launching round after round of attacks on CSKA Moscow's goal.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Lin Quan cut inside and shot after breaking through on the side.

The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, and the follow-up Sergio Aguero appeared in front of the goal like a ghost and gently pushed the ball into the back of the net.

Manchester City turned the game 2-1.

City's offensive was not over, in the 45th minute, the last minute of the first half.

City were given a free-kick in front of the goal, and Lin Quan's deflected ball went straight into the corner, and the goalkeeper could do nothing but watch the ball fly into the goal.

The score was rewritten to 3:1!

Seeing that the opponent had been completely imposed, he scored three goals in a row in just over 20 minutes.

The hearts of the Moscow fans at the scene were already half cold, and the loud singing was gone.

The voices that had been taunting the City players were gone, and they forgot to boo each other even when the City players celebrated at their home stadium.

CSKA Moscow fans have been completely stunned!

In the second half, the side changed sides and fought again, and Manchester City's side continued the attack of the first half.

However, under the strict defense of the opponent, Manchester City did not expand the score.

In the 65th minute, when Manuel Pellegrini was about to make a substitution.

It was raining lightly.

At first, the rain was light, but it didn't take long for the rain to gradually change from light to moderate rain.

Although it is not yet winter, the temperature in Moscow at night is already close to zero degrees Celsius.

When it rains in this temperature, it's even more uncomfortable than snow.

And what's even worse is that there is a wind at the scene!

The rain poured down on them, wetting their jerseys, and the cold wind made the City players shiver with cold.

Their worst fears before the game happened!

Within five minutes, the Manchester City players on the pitch were too cold to stand.

Goalkeeper Hart, in particular, kept jumping and jumping in front of the goal to keep his body warm.

Don't wait for your body to freeze, if you can't make a save when someone else shoots, it's over!

If it is before the game, it is possible to request a postponement of the game.

But now, the time has come to half past nine in the evening.

At this time, the suspension of the game is likely to drag on until late at night or even tomorrow.

Instead of that, it is better to grit your teeth and finish these last dozens of minutes, in that case, the consumption of the team is a little smaller.

"Do you want to keep changing?"

The assistant coach looked at Pellegrini and asked.

"Well, let Negredo go out to warm up and get ready to play!"

Pellegrini had planned to change three people in one go, but now he didn't dare to do so.

He wasn't sure if the other side would take advantage of the rain to launch a counterattack against Manchester City, so he didn't dare to make too many substitutions at once.

If they are equalised, then Manchester City will lose too much.

Moscow's rainfall in October was not low, so their players were more aware of the situation.

Seeing that Manchester City's players were shivering from the cold, the morale of CSKA Moscow immediately returned!

"Haha, the opponent is frozen into a fool!"

"It's a good time for us to fight back!"

"Rush up, them, we're going to reverse, we're going to get three points!"

The morale of the players was boosted and they all became eager to try.

Manchester City's players have not completely lost their form at this time, and they can still resist the opponent's attack.

It's just that the field became a lot more slippery after the rain, plus the heat loss was too fast, and the body was frozen, so they didn't dare to make big moves, and their defensive ability dropped a lot.

In this case, in order to stop the opponent's attack, they have to resort to defensive tactics.

In the 67th minute, Yaya Toure swept down CSKA Moscow's midfielder Zubair and received a yellow card.

Five minutes later, Zabaleta was shown a yellow card for pulling down an opposition striker from outside the box.

Not only are the number of fouls on the Manchester City side increasing, but many of their players are starting to cramp as the body heat wears off and the fatigue accumulated from the intense game.

In the 77th minute, in a fierce scramble, Manchester City's defender Kolarov fell to the ground.

CSKA Moscow players ignored injuries and went on the offensive.

Negredo, who had just come on the field, unceremoniously shoveled Keisuke Honda, who was attacking with the ball, to the ground, and the Japanese rolled around the field three and a half times with his feet in an exaggerated manner, and let out a terrible howl from his mouth.

The opposing player immediately rushed up and pushed Negredo hard, with trash talk in his mouth:

"Boy, do you want to kill someone? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu abolished you! ”

"Why are you here, if I'm afraid you're your grandson!"

Negredo wasn't scared either, swinging his fists to punch the man who pushed him.

The Manchester City players hurriedly grabbed him and didn't let him punch him.

He had to get at least one yellow card for the foul he had just committed, and if he hit someone impulsively at this time, he would definitely be sent off with a red card, and he would face additional punishment after the game.

Negredo is an important substitute striker for Manchester City, and if he is suspended, it will have a big impact on Manchester City.

Seeing that the two sides were about to stage an all-out martial arts, the referee rushed up and separated the players from both sides.

Then he pulled out a yellow card, and Negredo, who fouled the tackle, and Waynebloom, who pushed the man, each rewarded a topaz card.

The two yellow cards calmed down players on both sides.

CSKA Moscow's players suddenly realized that they were behind and that it was time to attack, rather than clashing with the opposition here and wasting time.

The Manchester City players are happy to continue to spend this time with each other, and if they run out of time, they will win the game anyway.

To do this, they first helped Kolarov to relieve the symptoms of cramps, and then delayed a lot of time when the opponent took the free-kick.

By the time CSKA Moscow took the free kick, it was 80 minutes into the game!

There's really not much time left for them!

The free-kick failed to threaten and Hart got the ball in.

He scrambled to pick the kick-off and deliberately kicked the ball up front before the referee's patience ran out to show him a yellow card, and then flew off the touchline.

CSKA Moscow players rushed over to throw a throw-in, but the referee signalled for City to make a substitution and told them to wait.

On the sidelines, the fourth official had already raised his substitution card, with Manchester City replacing the injured Kolarov for Klich.

Kolarov ran slowly towards the sidelines, although he was running, but he was running faster than the old lady could walk.

Seeing this scene, the players of CSKA Moscow almost didn't hold back their internal injuries!

These guys at Manchester City don't want any face at all!

What about the honor and face of your wealthy family?

With such a shameless tactic of delaying time, is it embarrassing to call it a giant team?

Manchester City fans said: Thank you for your love, we are not giants, we are just nouveau riche.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and urged Kolarov to hurry up, otherwise he would show him a yellow card to warn him.

Warned by the referee, Kolarov reluctantly walked off the field quickly, high-fived and hugged his teammates before completing the substitution.

The referee signaled for the game to continue, and CSKA Moscow players were finally ready to take the throw-in.

However, as soon as the ball was thrown, it was tackled from behind by a Manchester City player.

After the break, the Manchester City player kicked the ball towards the opponent's half with a big foot, and Negredo, who had just come on the field, was already like a wild horse that had escaped from the horse, running towards the ball!

At this time, he is the only one on Manchester City's side who has such physical strength to sprint quickly!

When the fans at the scene saw this scene, they closed their eyes and didn't dare to look at the result of this goal!

If this goal is scored, they will be completely out of play!

According to Murphy's Law, what is usually the most feared often happens.

Negredo did not disappoint CSKA Moscow fans, seizing the opportunity and calmly slotting the ball into the net with a cool crotch-piercing shot from the goalkeeper.

The score became 4:1!

Negredo was so excited after the goal that he couldn't help but take off his clothes and run to the visiting fans to ask for applause from the Manchester City fans who were travelling with the team.

The Manchester City fans were thrilled and gave him the warmest applause.

It's just that as they puff up, they realize that something seems to be wrong.

The referee had a gloomy face and a yellow card in his hand and was running towards Negredo.

"Excuse me?"

"No, it won't!"

"Did Negredo have a yellow card?"

"Ahh

In front of tens of thousands of fans, the referee showed Negredo a yellow card, then pulled a red card from his chest pocket and sent him off.

Less than 20 minutes have passed since Negredo's debut.

This guy ate two yellow cards and was sent off!

Not to mention that the fans of Manchester City were shocked, and the fans of the opponent were also a little confused.

What's going on?

Negredo cried and pleaded desperately with the referee, but the rules are the rules, and if you take off your jersey without permission on the field, you will definitely have to eat cards.

Although one was sent off, City's lead was simply too great.

Eventually, the game was over.

Manchester City thrashed CSKA Moscow away from home and won three consecutive Champions League group stage wins!

This result can be said to be a very good situation for Manchester City!

In the next round of home games against CSKA Moscow, Manchester City can beat their opponents to qualify for the group two rounds earlier.

However, if they are to top the group, they need to win at least one of their remaining two games and are guaranteed a better goal difference than Bayern Munich.

Of course, if they beat their opponents directly in the dialogue between the Allianz Arena and Bayern, then they will win the group without any suspense!
