(Thanks to wssssss88 for receiving the superstar, and it is currently the only light of the great god~ I didn't save the manuscript, and I couldn't break out if I wanted to)

Van der Vaart's departure is definitely good news for Manchester City, and it has eased the pressure on Barry and Minaar to some extent, as Livermore simply cannot compare to Van der Vaart.

After the substitution, Tottenham finally ushered in the first shot after tying the score, Bale broke down the wing and passed back to the forward Modric, who ushered in the first shot of the game, a long-range shot, but the long-range shot was not Modric's forte, this shot went straight over the crossbar.

Manchester City attacked, Li Feng passed directly to Balotelli, and the substitute Ba Shen was full of impact, holding the ball and rushing towards Tottenham's penalty area, Balotelli's move immediately caused Van Basten's dissatisfaction.

Why did Van Basten replace Dzeko? It's not because Tottenham's defense in the penalty area is too good, Dzeko has never been able to get any good opportunities in the Tottenham penalty area, so he sent Balotelli, just to let Balotelli, who doesn't like to be active in the penalty area, disrupt Tottenham's defense.

Bursting into the box, Balotelli was immediately blocked by Caboul and Ledley King, with Sergio Aguero and Silva immediately cutting inside on either flank.

But Balotelli was indifferent to the gesture of the two of them, and in the end, Balotelli didn't even have a chance to force his feet, and was directly cut off by the Tottenham captain.

It is understandable that geniuses are unruly, there are few geniuses in history who are well-behaved children, but when a genius is too rebellious, there are even too many problems, so this genius is not far from being abandoned, not to mention that Manchester City is not short of geniuses, they need instant combat power.

At this moment, Van Basten looked at Balotelli with undisguised disappointment, Balotelli is a good talent, and even his talent is the top existence in today's football.

In the past six months, Van Basten has taken a fancy to Balotelli's talent, so he will cultivate it carefully, and Balotelli's progress is also very satisfactory to him.

Although there are constant troubles off the field, at the very least, Balotelli on the field makes Van Basten very satisfied, but at this moment, Balotelli on the field has nothing to satisfy Van Basten.

Because before coming on the pitch, Van Basten had been very clear about what he needed to do on the pitch, but now?

Soon, Van Basten put away his dissatisfaction and disappointment, and even the assistant coach sitting next to him did not notice Van Basten's performance just now.

On the pitch, Tottenham immediately launched a counter-attack, Bale, Tottenham once again completed a shot on the thigh, and Bale pulled the ball horizontally to open the distance from Richards and immediately shot on goal.

The ball hit Lescott's body and went wide of the line, and the ensuing corner Lescott elbowed Kaboul, but the referee didn't see it, and City escaped.

However, the ball still fell at the feet of the Tottenham players, Lennon, who is only 169 tall, is the shortest player in the game, but this corner kick fell on Lennon's head.

Fortunately, Lennon's header was not very good, whether it was the angle, power or speed was very average, and the ball was directly bagged by Joe Hart.

In the 77th minute, Silva played the ball for Li Feng, who crossed from the bottom line, Balotelli grabbed the penalty in the small penalty area and kicked it into the air, and the ball flew to the feet of Aguero.

Well~~~ Aguero kicked crookedly, under the defense of Héctor, Aguero's shot was completely contrary to the goal, and Manchester City was also wrong to take the lead again.

If Sergio Aguero could get the ball on target, it would have been a must, and Friedel's attention was so absorbed by Balotelli that he couldn't take care of Aguero at the back post.

Balotelli's amusement was endless, and in the 80th minute, Balotelli received a pass and hit the penalty area again to no avail, and directly retaliated for a foul on Caboul.

Seeing Balotelli's death, Webb suddenly felt that he would be sorry for Balotelli if he didn't take out a yellow card, so the bald guy didn't say a word, and Huang Cancan's gem card was presented.

But even so, Balotelli's road to death did not end there, three minutes later, it was Balotelli again, well, in fact, Li Feng didn't want to pass the ball to this goods, why was this goods in too good a position.

And this time he didn't rush into the penalty area, so Li Feng passed, but at the moment when Balotelli shot, a white figure rushed straight from the opposite side.

Kaboul, it turned out that the Tottenham central defender had already rushed out of the penalty area, and a sliding tackle on the ground did not give Balotelli a chance to shoot at all, and directly destroyed the ball.

But Balotelli didn't close his feet, of course~~~ may not be able to take it back, so ~~~ The feet of the two came into close contact, and the two screamed at the same time.

Webber hesitated because he didn't know if Balotelli meant it, and there was no doubt that Caboul's tackle was a very good defence, but Balotelli had already made a shot.

When Webber hesitated, the head coaches on both sides of the bench walked out and stared at Webb nervously, although both of them looked nervous, but the expectations of the two were completely different.

Redknapp expects Webber to take out his card, after all, Balotelli already has a yellow card, if Balotelli turns two yellows into one red, there is no doubt that the game is tilted in favor of Tottenham.

Van Basten prayed that Webber would not take out the cards, and when Manchester United had already won, Manchester City could not afford to lose, and the difference of 8 points was really not a gap, especially if the opponent was Manchester United.

When Webber made the final decision, Redknapp's old face couldn't hide the disappointment, and Van Basten let out a long breath because Webber was merely warning Balotelli.

As the game continued and time was running out, the Tottenham boss made his second substitution of the game, with Manchester City veteran Pienal replacing Dannon, and it was clear that Redknapp had changed his strategy and was ready to take a point at the Etihad Stadium.

Looking at the old guy with the old god there, Van Basten could only look at his own bench, De Jong, Onuoha, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Pantilimon, Adam Johnson and Dzeko, who was replaced.

Of the six substitutes, only one Adam Johnson is an attacking player, the others are all backfielders, Onuoha has not even played for Manchester City this season, if it weren't for the lack of defenders, it is estimated that he would not even be on the bench, and there is already a team offer ready to take him away in the winter.

At this moment, not only Van Basten is staring at the bench, but the substitute players are also staring at Van Basten, especially Adam Johnson, who has been playing under Van Basten for most of the season

The understanding between the players and the coach is mutual, and with the current situation of the team, Van Basten is not willing to end in a draw, and Adam Johnson knows very well that he is the one who has the best chance to play at the moment. (To be continued.) )
