In the end, Manchester City won a 3-0 in Lisbon, which also allowed Manchester City to book a place in the last four, and no one would believe that Benfica could give Manchester City a 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium, especially this season. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the game, Manchester City did not stop in Lisbon and returned to Manchester on a special plane, as for the scene, Sylvia and Xiuying will stay in Lisbon for an extra day, after all, it is rare to travel here.

Although Li Feng was a little disappointed that Xiuying was not around, but there was no way, the league had reached the final moment, and at this fateful moment, Xiuying didn't want to embarrass Li Feng.

And Li Feng has no holiday, because three days after returning to Manchester, Manchester City will usher in the 31st round of the league, which is no longer a double game, but a third game a week.

Although Van Basten still gave the players a half-day off the next day, it was a little sluggish both physically and mentally when it came to recovery training in the afternoon.

Especially Silva, when training the next day, Silva reported to the team doctor before returning to the field, and it seems that the collision still had an impact on Silva in the 30th round.

For this reason, Van Basten once again rushed the whole team to the team doctor, and the end result was that captain Kompany, De Jong and Dzeko all needed to rest for a round, because if they were allowed to play again, they would be injured.

That is to say, in the 31st round, Manchester City will lose three main players, but this will not have too much impact on Manchester City, Barry, Minard and Adam Johnson can be replaced, and the opponents in the 31st round are not strong.

What really makes Manchester City care is the opponent in the 32nd round, when Manchester City will travel to London again to visit the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal.

As for the opponents in the 31st round, it is only Sunderland, who are in the middle and lower reaches, and Sunderland's form has not been very good recently, with only one win in the last four rounds of the league.

And Manchester City have won all of their home games for the last eleven years, with the last defeat coming in the 98-99 season, so there will be no suspense in this game, whether in the eyes of the expert media or the fans.

However, the result greatly surprised the expectations of the media and fans, if it were not for Li Feng's last-minute savior again, Manchester City would really stage a big overturn at home.

The game seemed to indicate that this game was not easy for Manchester City from the start, and just four minutes into the game, Richards needed to be treated by the team doctor on the sidelines for a scramble, you know, Richards had just recovered from injury.

Then Balotelli clashed with the central defender Bardsley from Manchester United's academy, and in another scramble, Balotelli showed the sole of his shoe to Balotelli, but was dodged by Balotelli, but Balotelli is not a master who swallows his anger.

After that, the two had many conflicts in the penalty area, and in the end it was the referee who made a move, and a yellow card for each of them allowed the two to refocus on the game.

Sunderland scored the goal, and in the 21st minute of the game, Larsson from the right side, a long shot from outside the arc of the penalty area, Joe Hart's vision was just blocked by Lescott, so it was too late when Joe Hart saw the ball, and he could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

Sunderland took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and it was still at Manchester City's home stadium, at the Etihad Stadium, you must know ~~~ In this season, in the league, let alone a draw, Manchester City has maintained its whole body, and even the situation of falling behind is very few.

Capsizing in the gutter? It's not impossible, but City's next performance was impossible, and Balotelli ushered in an explosion.

In the 33rd minute, Li Feng sent a through ball from the left, Balotelli shook off his arch-rival Bardesley to get a single knife and send the ball into the Sunderland goal.

After scoring the goal, Balotelli did not forget to provoke the opponent, and directly spread his arms in front of Badesley with an expression of no one's own.

Balotelli's provocation really played a role, in the 40th minute, Balotelli received a pass and broke through the penalty area again, but was directly brought down by the loss of Badesley.

Fortunately, the referee only awarded a penalty, and if Baddersley had been given another yellow card, it was estimated that there would have been no suspense in this game.

As for this penalty, naturally no one will grab it from Balotelli, and Balotelli has long stood to the penalty spot with the ball, with the referee's whistle, Balotelli made it overnight, Manchester City completed the overtake, and the score was rewritten to 2:1.

It was also the final score of the first half, and at half-time there were no changes to either side, but as soon as the second half began, the game changed again.

Sunderland scored again, this time by the confident king of Bendtner, who came on loan from Arsenal, Sessegnon crossed from the right, Lescott was not tight, Bendtner blasted a powerful header to blast the goal of Joe Hart again.

Seeing this situation, Van Basten on the sidelines was expressionless for a while, and at the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart that he had kept Boateng, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

After the score was tied, Manchester City launched a furious attack, but it was always a little short of the goal, and in the 63rd minute, Li Feng blasted a long-range shot that was held up by Mignolet with both hands.

The ensuing corner was almost overcome, but luck wasn't on Lescote's side and City as the ball hit the crossbar and flew off the line.

Four minutes later, Richards left the game for the second time to receive treatment, he was brought down from the back, I have to say, the referee's law enforcement is very lax, the current position is Balotelli and Bardesley when they had a verbal altercation, there is no meaning of taking out the cards for other fouls.

That would certainly have an impact on Manchester City, but neither City nor Sunderland could have imagined that it was a foul that led to a goal from Li Feng that ultimately helped City get the difficult three points.

It really confirms that sentence, Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and in the 79th minute of the game, a foul by Sunderland outside the big penalty area cut off their efforts throughout the game.

In this game, Sunderland did not send a free kick to Manchester City, but Li Feng missed all the first two penalties, in this Sunderland's view, because Li Feng's state in consecutive games also had some problems, so he was unscrupulous and just fouled outside the penalty area.

In fact, Li Feng has no problems with his physical condition, nor does he have any problems with his state, Li Feng is systematic, and his efficiency is indeed terrifying, but he is always just a person and not a god.

This time, it was also Li Feng's third free kick opportunity in this game, but just as Li Feng was about to make a free throw, Balotelli found Li Feng.

I have to say that Balotelli's brazenness is far more than Li Feng thought, this guy actually wants to compete with Li Feng for this free throw opportunity.

In this regard~~~ Li Feng naturally will not give in, although Yaya Toure acted quickly and drove Balotelli away from Li Feng's side in time, but even so, it could not change the facts that had happened, and the dispute between the two was naturally hyped.

The broadcast camera also shifted to Van Basten on the sidelines for a while, but Van Basten's performance in front of the camera did not change at all, and he didn't seem to take the small dispute between the two to heart.

On the pitch, Li Feng finally scored the first goal of the game and the last goal of the game with this free kick, and finally Manchester City maintained the score of 3:2 until the end, Manchester City won a difficult victory over Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium. (To be continued.) )
