With the departure of Son Ye-jin, England's paparazzi have finally subsided, and the Premier League has ushered in the final game of the half, Manchester City will visit the Stadium of Light to challenge Sunderland.

City have failed to win their last two visits to the Stadium of Light, but Van Basten doesn't care, after all, he was not the one who sat in the Manchester City manager's position before.

Due to the relationship with Liverpool in the next round, Van Basten has made a large number of changes in this round, and even made changes at the back.

Although there are no major injuries at Manchester City, small injuries continue, Kolarov has just recovered his health, Richards is injured again, and coupled with the dense field, Van Basten chose to rotate.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart was out of bounds, but the two centre-backs were Lescott and Kolo Toure, flanked by the injured Kolarov and Zabaleta.

In the midfield, due to Li Feng's suspension, Van Basten replaced Barry and partnered with De Jong, and Yaya Toure moved forward to take on the role of Li Feng, but it is clear that although Yaya Toure has a certain organizational and offensive ability, it is very Li Feng, and the gap between the two is still quite obvious.

Up front, Silva and Sergio Aguero are all rested, Minaar, Adam Johnson and Dzeko form a trident, with Balotelli still on the bench.

Before the game, Balotelli was in trouble again, and with the winter break approaching and Balotelli having performed well again this season, there were rumours that both Milan and Napoli had expressed interest in him and wanted to bring him back to Italy.

Balotelli once publicly admitted that he was an AC Milan fan, and he also sang the AC Milan team song in the Inter Milan dressing room, and even appeared at the San Siro to cheer for AC Milan when he was excluded from the game squad, and even openly supported the shouting during the Milan derby.

It's hard to imagine that Balotelli was a player of Inter Milan at that time, and it is no wonder that this product is so talented that he was eventually sold to Manchester City by Inter Milan.

Like this overture between Milan and Napoli, Balotelli once again responded to AC Milan with the affirmation that "God knows, my heart belongs to AC Milan, to the San Siro, maybe in the near future, I can wear the shirt of my dreams and play for the team of my dreams." ”

Balotelli's answer caused an uproar, Manchester City fans left messages to lead Balotelli, and even some extreme fans asked Balotelli to roll Manchester.

Van Basten also called Balotelli and threw him out of the squad for this game, so there was no Balotelli on the bench for this game.

Neither Van Basten nor Manchester City could have imagined that this game would become the strength of Manchester City's first league game this season, and Sunderland created a solo strike just three minutes into the game.

Sessegnon straight stopper, Bendtner succeeded in anti-offside, and the confident emperor is indeed the confident emperor, in the face of the attacking Joe Hart, Bendtner did not shoot immediately, but wanted to shake Joe Hart in the empty goal, but the ball was directly pressed under Joe Hart.

Sunderland's biggest name in the squad is undoubtedly Arsenal striker Bengtner, who made his debut with Copenhagen and surprised the whole of Europe with his talent when he first appeared, tall, strong, technically excellent, and quite fast, hailed by the media as the perfect modern centre-forward.

At that time, it was chased by many European giants, and was even once regarded as the hope and future leader of Danish football, but the former talent is now loaned to Sunderland by Arsene Wenger.

And the most talked-about thing about him now is no longer his talent, but his ability to break through trouble and his inexplicable self-confidence, which has made many self-confident remarks, so he is called "self-confidence emperor" by fans.

The idol of this product is Ibrahimovic, I have to say that this arrogant self-confidence is really comparable to Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic has that strength, but he is only so arrogant and confident.

Of course, Bendtner is not too old now, he is only the same age as Li Feng, and if he can open his mind, then his future is still bright.

Manchester City started to control the tempo after 20 minutes, but although they controlled the tempo of the game, they were completely incomparable.

Before this game, Manchester City gave people the feeling that the attack was strong, the attack was sharp, and the coordination and passing were smooth, but at the moment, Manchester City's performance was much worse than before.

"Ah~~~ I finally know why, because there is a lack of wind in the middle of this Manchester City game, which is why the Manchester City team we are seeing now is different from before," said the commentator.

In the end, neither broke the deadlock in the first half, although Manchester City dominated as always and had a lot of shots on goal, but there were not many real chances.

In the second half, Van Basten replaced De Jong, who received a yellow card in the first half, with Silva on Silva, and City's attack in the second half was changed by Silva's appearance.

However, even so, Manchester City were unable to break the deadlock, so Van Basten used up his second substitution, with Sergio Aguero replacing Minal.

Sergio Aguero had a great chance as soon as he came on the pitch and Yaya Toure and Barry combined to cut off Sessegnon and City counter-attacked quickly.

Silva sent in a through ball and Sergio Aguero was on the defy sidelines, but in the face of such a chance, Aguero went wide and the ball slammed headlong into the side-netting.

Dzeko had a good chance soon after, as Silvara's cross from the edge was met by an unguarded header that hit the crossbar.

Missed chances will be punished, and in the last minute of stoppage time, Sunderland staged a final, Sessegnon went through, and substitute South Korean young striker Ji Dong-won finally broke Joe Hart's goal with a volley after being offside, which also allowed Ji Dong-won to break a four-month goal drought and his second goal for Sunderland.

But the goal was controversial, because according to the slow motion, Ji Dongwon was in an offside position at the moment of Sessegnon's pass, so it was an offside goal, but the linesman did not raise the flag.

In the end, Manchester City died in vain at the Stadium of Light because of an offside goal, ushering in the first defeat of the season, as for the Korean media was excited, in the face of the best team in the Premier League this season, Ji Dongyuan actually staged a stunner drama, although this is an offside goal, but the Korean media don't care, the only pity is that Li Feng did not play in this game.

I have to say that South Korea's arrogance is really deep in the bone marrow, and they don't want to think that if there was Li Feng in this game, the result would definitely be completely different. (To be continued.) )
