Chapter 711: Happiness Gives Birth to Sorrow
"A stupid foul can ruin a teammate's entire effort, or even undo an entire season's hard work – The Manchester Evening News. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Balotelli's progress this season can be very great, but this only refers to his ability on the pitch, but mentally, Balotelli has not changed anything, I have to say, now Manchester City situation, Balotelli needs to bear a lot of responsibility, Van Basten may have time to consider, Balotelli is not suitable to stay in Manchester City" Manchester Evening News columnist Stuart Brennan said bluntly.
The media never thought it was a big deal, and the next day, almost all the media pointed the finger at Balotelli, so under the public opinion guided by the media, Balotelli completely became the sinner of Manchester City.
In addition, Balotelli has a bad impression in the hearts of Manchester City fans, so after this game, many radical fans have made noises for Balotelli to get out.
In the past, Balotelli might have been comforted by his teammates or coaches, but now that his teammates are dissatisfied with him, how can they still have the heart to comfort him.
As for the head coach Van Basten, he directly issued a fine to him, two weeks' weekly salary, which can be said to be a very heavy fine, two weeks add up to a total of 200,000 pounds, which is an ordinary person can't earn so much in a year.
However, compared to Balotelli's income, the money is just a drizzle, he doesn't care at all, what really makes him sad is the attitude of his teammates and the manager.
Of course~~~ At this time, no one will consider Balotelli's feelings, and he will miss four rounds of the league next, Balotelli is not two yellows and one red, but directly applied for a red card, plus the chase, this time Balotelli was directly suspended for four rounds.
In other words, Balotelli is unlikely to return after the Manchester derby, and the only good news is that he will still be able to play in the Champions Cup, although it is only a matter of whether Van Basten will still trust him.
The mood throughout Manchester has changed with the difference in points in the table, and United fans rejoice, as if they have seen the end of the comeback.
Even the players couldn't help but jump out and put pressure on Manchester City: "They have no experience, in the last few decades they have only been in the middle and lower reaches, and if you look at the situation now, I can guarantee that the final title will definitely belong to Manchester, but to us Manchester United. ”
It was Ashley Young who said this, but the day after it was reported, the glass window of the England star's home, who had just joined Manchester United this season, was smashed.
However, there is a saying in China that "happiness begets sorrow", and Manchester United's situation can be described in these four words, because three days later, Manchester United lost.
The opponent is not even a strong team, but the second-to-last Wigan in the league, the relegation team is indeed crazy, at the DW Stadium, Wigan used a 1:0 to put Manchester United into an extremely embarrassing situation.
The world of football is so fantastic, it's so incredible, in the history of the Premier League, Wigan has never won against Manchester United before, not even a draw in 14 meetings, Manchester United have maintained a winning form, and the average goals per game are 3.2, conceding just five.
It was almost a must-win game, but the result was full of surprises, God likes to surprise people, and if it weren't for the help of the referee, the score would not be 1:0, but 2:0.
Because in the first half, Messi scored a goal that was blown away by the referee, and Manchester City escaped with death, but in the second half, Wigan completed the fatal blow through a tactical corner kick by Scottish striker Maloney, and Manchester United finally lost at DW Stadium.
On the other side, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, City were unmistakable as they faced West Bromwich Albion with a clean 4-0 victory.
City broke the deadlock just five minutes into the game, with Dzeko returning to the starting line-up and Silva back to fitness.
The first goal came from Sergio Aguero's shot, Silva crossed from the flank, Dzeko headed it back, and Aguero won the ball in the right penalty area and moved sideways to dodge the defender to blast a long-range shot.
The West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper touched the ball but couldn't control it, and the ball bounced into the back of the net to give City a 1-0 lead.
Manchester City wanted to take advantage of the victory, but West Bromwich Albion did not surrender, and in the following time, although Manchester City were strong in attack, they were always a little short of the goal.
In the twelfth minute, Dzeko ushered in the first shot of the game, Li Feng burst into the penalty area in the middle, Dzeko ran back and wanted to pull away the defenders for Li Feng, but unfortunately West Bromwich Albion's defenders did not follow Dzeko, but stopped directly in front of Li Feng, so he passed back, Dzeko directly kicked out a long shot outside the penalty area.
The ball was lifted straight out of the line by the goalkeeper and the ensuing corner was also unsuccessful for City, with the ball being headed over by West Bromwich Albion centre-back Dawson.
In the eighteenth minute, Li Feng and Silva collided with the wall in succession to tear apart West Bromwich Albion's defense, and Silva burst into the penalty area and shot wide from a tight angle.
Two minutes later, Silva was back in action, but this time it was a solo performance from the Spaniard, who broke past right-back Jones, who was opposite him, and then cleverly deceived Olsen after cutting into the box.
The previous break was perfect, but the final kick felt a bit humiliating for Silva as he kicked the ball wide of the goal.
In the 25th minute, West Bromwich Albion ushered in the first shot of the game, a defensive counterattack, a long pass from the front Andrews, no way, the position of the front has been retreated to the position of the back waist.
Striker Shane Lang is full of firepower, at this time, the importance of Boateng is manifested, although the speed of the Irish striker is fast, Boateng's speed is not slow, and in the end, under the interference of Boateng, Shane Lang's kick did not pose any threat to Manchester City, and was directly pocketed by Joe Hart.
In the entire first half, West Bromwich Albion only had two shots on goal, Manchester City was twice as many as the opponent, and in the entire first half, Manchester City had a total of 12 shots on goal, and in terms of ball possession, it was thrown by Manchester City 18 streets, and Manchester City's possession rate reached an incredible 80% at the most exaggerated time.
However, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0, and Manchester City, who had the advantage, were never able to extend the score. (To be continued.) )
