"Eh~~~ The wind shouldn't be intentional, right?" On the sidelines, assistant coach Kidd was also discussing the issue with Van Basten.

Van Basten rolled his eyes at this~~~ and then ignored his assistant and walked to the sidelines, it was clear that this unexpected goal changed the mentality of Manchester City's players.

Originally, Van Basten didn't have any thoughts about this game, but with Li Feng drinking Kompany's joint goal, Van Basten's mind was reactivated.

You know, Manchester United, who played a day earlier than Manchester City, were forced to draw at home by Newcastle United, which is why Van Basten is willing to give up this game, even if they lose, the points between the two sides will only be closer by one point.

But now it was different, Manchester City were the first to break the deadlock, and relied on this somewhat hilarious and lucky goal to change the mentality of the players, which made Van Basten have to consider that if he wins this game, he can further stretch the points with Manchester United, from the original seven points to nine.

However, while Van Buss was still thinking about it, the score changed again, and this change finally made Van Basten decide to go with the flow.

After the resumption of the game, Liverpool launched an attack, with Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam attacking the Manchester City penalty area, but Liverpool were never able to find the city's box.

So Charlie Yadong directly overshooted, originally this was not a threatening shot, the ball speed was not fast, the angle was not tricky, Joe Hart also followed closely to make a judgment, if there is no accident, the ball will be confiscated directly by Joe Hart.

But in the process of the ball flying, the ball happened to have an accident, which also confirms the saying, football is round, on the field, when is it really possible.

Lescott stretched out his foot, but Lescott's kick did not clear, only changed the trajectory of the ball's flight, and Joe Hart, who made the judgment, could only turn his head to send the ball.

"Own goal~~~ Own goal~~~ Liverpool equalized, only two minutes after Manchester City scored, the same central defender, Manchester City broke the deadlock is Manchester City captain, central defender Kompany, and helped Liverpool equalize the same Manchester City central defender, but another central defender, Lescott."

"Two centre-backs, one is a hero and the other is a sinner, and in the light of Kompany's highlights, Lescote looks particularly unbearable at this moment, the same position, different fates."

Liverpudlian people celebrated, while Manchester City fans were silent, on the pitch, Kompany patted Lescott's head, and Joe Hart did not blame him, because everyone knew that at this moment, Lescott was sadder and more lost than anyone else, and at this time, he needed the support and understanding of his teammates more than blame.

At the same time, Van Basten, who was on the sidelines, just shook his head after seeing Lescott's own goal, did not look disappointed and angry, and then walked directly to the bench and sat in his place.

It's all back to square one, but after these two goals, the mentality of the Manchester City players is gradually adjusting, while the Liverpool players continue to be the killers of this season.

In the following time, the two sides turned on the attacking mode, and this season, Manchester City was at a disadvantage in attack for the first time, although the players' mentality has been adjusted, but compared with before, there is still a big gap.

So in the next ten minutes, Joe Hart became the busiest man on the field, and in the thirty-sixth minute, Charlie Adam once again tested Joe Hart with a long-range shot, this time without the help of Lescott, the ball was directly confiscated by Joe Hart.

Two minutes later, Liverpool were back in the game when Suarez had a powerful shot from Downing's cross from near the penalty spot that was tipped off the line by Joe Hart, and the ensuing corner was cleared by Yaya Toure.

In the 44th minute, Manchester City returned a kick, Li Feng split the side, Silva broke through and crossed to the middle, and Yaya Toure shot directly from a distance in the penalty area.

In stoppage time, it was still Liverpool's attack, Glen Johnson cut in from behind, Kuyt received Suarez's return pass on the big penalty line and pushed it to Glen Johnson, who fired a direct long-range shot from the corner of the box line that Joe Hart was once again bagged.

In the end, the two sides maintained a score of 1:1 and went into half-time, and after returning to the dressing room, Van Basten immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, of course, this was not against Lescott, who scored an own goal, but the performance of the whole Manchester City team throughout the first half.

Although both goals in the first half were scored by Manchester City, from the first half as a whole, Manchester City's performance was too much for Liverpool, whether it was possession or the number of shots on goal, Manchester City was at a disadvantage, which was the first time this season.

After Van Basten's fire, the Manchester City players finally focused all their attention on the game in the second half, but to Manchester City's dismay, the second half had just improved, and a foul by Balotelli directly turned Manchester City back to disadvantage.

However, this foul is really up for debate, in the 55th minute of the second half, Manchester City corner, Silva sent the ball directly into the Liverpool penalty area, Balotelli and Skrtel scrambled, and then Balotelli's arm touched Skrtel's head, and then the Liverpool central defender fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Balotelli smiled, and then looked at the referee with an innocent face, as if to say "I just touched him, but I didn't use any force at all" But soon, Balotelli couldn't laugh, because the referee took out the card, two yellows and one red.

Balotelli felt that he was wronged, for this ~~~ He immediately explained to Van Basten after walking to the sidelines, from which it can also be seen that Balotelli was really wronged this time, according to his usual performance, if he really fouled, at most he would just chatter, and then he would not go into the locker room, instead of explaining to Van Basten.

Van Basten made the decision to make a substitution as soon as Balotelli returned to the dressing room, with Dzeko coming on for Sergio Aguero and then Barry for Silva as City changed to 441.

If you are facing a weak team, you may be able to make up for the numerical advantage with the individual ability of the players, but at the moment Manchester City are not facing any ordinary team.

Liverpool's strength is certainly not comparable to previous years, but even so, Liverpool is also in the first echelon of the Premier League, perhaps there is indeed a gap with Manchester City's strength at the moment, but this gap is not as big as imagined, and the number of people completely reverses the strength of the two teams.

So Van Basten chose to make a substitution, Barry replaced Silva to increase his defensive ability, and Dzeko was more impactful to replace Aguero. (To be continued.) )
