There are two special Chinese in the stands of the Etihad Stadium today, one of them is Sun Jihai, a former Manchester City player!

Sun Jihai landed in Europe with Fan Zhiyi in the summer of 1998 and moved to Crystal Palace in League One at the time, and made his debut for Crystal Palace in September of the same year.

Sun Jihai played for Manchester City in the Premier League from 2002 to 2008 and made 130 Premier League appearances. He is the first Chinese to play more than 100 games in Europe's top league.

With the increase of age, the state declined, and with the growth of Manchester City's young people, Sun Jihai lost the main position in the team. On June 30, 2008, Sun Jihai did not renew his contract with Manchester City and signed as a free agent for Sheffield United in the Championship.

In May this year, Sun Jihai will join Chinese Super League side Chengdu Sheffield United on loan. Back in China, Sun Jihai's identity has changed, in addition to being a player, he also serves as the team's coach.

Today he appeared at the Etihad Stadium as a guest of honor, and sitting next to him was Fan Zhiyi, who landed in Europe at the same time as him - General Fan!

They came together just to watch Wang Rui's game, because they had the same blood in their veins.

The two didn't know that Wang Rui's current situation was very bad, Sun Jihai said to Fan Zhiyi: "Wang Rui has been in very good shape in recent games, scoring three goals in two games and assists. ”

Fan Zhiyi nodded and said: "Some British media think that the Wolves team is given special care by the referee, I have carefully watched the game video and feel that the British media is exaggerating. Wolves are showing signs of being taken care of. ”

Sun Jihai smiled lightly: "The British media often exaggerate, the competition between the media is too fierce, and they want to attract readers through these." ”

Fan Zhiyi shifted the conversation to the arena. 'Wolves are on the show with two wins in a row, while Manchester City have been in poor form lately, with injuries to a number of key players and a defeat at home last time, so a lot of people think it's going to be a draw today.

"I think Manchester City have a better chance of winning. There is no way back for them! ”

Sun Jihai said: "If Wang Rui plays well, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win." ”

Fan Zhiyi frowned slightly obviously.

The Shanghai star has a reputation for being strong, but the man next to him is even more successful than he is overseas. forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

"Won't Manchester City see him dead?"

Sun Jihai smiled lightly and said: "In the last game, West Ham United used all the strength they could to defend him, and he still scored twice. ”

Compared with Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi's understanding of football in England is much worse.

"I should have had the opportunity to play against him on the pitch last season. It's a pity that there were injuries at that time. I went back to China to recuperate. ”

Sun Jihai said regretfully: "If you miss that opportunity, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in this life." ”

While the two were talking, Wolverhampton TV was introducing the starters of both sides, football commentator Andy Brown. After introducing Wolves, Keogh began to introduce Manchester City.

"Mark? Hughes lined up a four-four-two formation tonight, goalkeepers: No. 1 Given; The four defenders are: No. 2 Richards, No. 19 Lescott, No. 28 Chloe Toure, No. 3 Bridge; The four midfielders are: No. 8 Wright-Phillips, No. 18 Barry, No. 34 De Jong, No. 7 Ireland; Two strikers: Bellamy 39 and Carlos Tevez 32! ”

'Tonight was a very difficult game and like Tevez said, City have 10,000 reasons to win. Let's hope Wolves get out of the way! ”

……

"Tick ......". The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi also ended the exchange and focused on the court.

Not far from them. It is the former Manchester City star, Costa Rican star Wanchope. At this moment, he looked at the Wolves players who were flooding across the half of the court, and a word popped out of his mouth: "Crazy wolf tactics!" ”

City quickly moved their football up front, attacking down the left flank, with Wolves dropping back like a tide in midfield. Wright-Phillips sent the ball into the Wolves box with a diagonal 45-degree cross, and striker Bellamy leaped high to head home.

An even stronger orange figure jumped higher than him and pushed the ball out of the box!

Kending wants to hold up the sky over the Wolves penalty area!

Wang Rui, who returned to the arc of the penalty area, met the ball, and De Jong would give him the opportunity to take the ball and turn around, and the moment the Wolves midfield core spread his chest to receive the ball, the strong Dutch star slammed into his right shoulder.

Wang Rui instantly lost his center of gravity and fell to the turf.

When everyone thought that the referee would blow the whistle and give a foul, the referee made a gesture to continue the game!

De Jong raised his eyebrows, took two steps forward to control the football, and shot from a distance!

The soccer ball whistled like a cannonball and flew towards the right side of the goal!

The white light came to an abrupt end!

The soccer ball was blocked by a hand!

"Tick! ……”

The referee's whistle sounded, and his right index finger pointed firmly to the penalty spot!

The game had just begun, and the stadium was suddenly in the air. Manchester City didn't blow such an obvious statute and actually awarded them a penalty?

The pitch became chaotic and Wolves players swarmed up in an emotional ......

Manchester City TV shouted: "Penalty! As soon as the game started, Manchester City won a penalty! ”

Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy? Keogh shouted, "No! Oh, God! Before Craddock's handball foul, De Jong had already committed a foul! ”

"God, this is definitely a miscalculation!"

Standing in the command area, Ince's face was ugly, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he found the assistant referee theory......

On the other side, Manchester City manager Marc? Hughes let out a long breath, a flash of joy in his eyes.

Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi looked at each other, this penalty ...... It's really debatable!

Didn't the British media say that Wolves have always been given special care by the referees, and that's what special care is?

"Overkill!"

Fan Zhiyi shook his head.

Sun Jihai's overseas football career was basically spent at Manchester City, so he has a lot of affection for this team.

Today he came to watch this game with mixed feelings. He not only hopes that Manchester City can win tonight and get out of the shadow of the first home defeat, but also hopes that Wang Rui will have a good performance in this game.

At this time, he looked at the emotional young man on the court, and his expression was even more complicated.

Wang Rui has always been able to control his emotions very well, and he rarely gets emotional on the court, but at this moment, he can no longer control his emotions.

The heart of the Wolves midfield rose from the turf and rushed into the crowd to meet the referee. His scattered saliva fell on the referee's face......

The referee showed Wang Rui a yellow card without mercy!

Peter looked at his friend, who was slightly stunned, hugged him, and walked out of the crowd......

"Why are you so excited, is it because of that banner?" Peter whispered in Wang Rui's ear: "No! Wang, you are a midfielder and you need to be calm! Calm down! Do you know? ”

Wang Rui was expressionless and did not answer his friend's question.

On the sidelines, Ince angrily spat on the turf when negotiations failed. This phlegm was only a dozen centimeters from the assistant referee's right foot.

The assistant referee frowned, walked into the court, and walked towards the referee!

Ince had a premonition that something was wrong, and he shouted at the assistant referee, "Hey! Feed! I didn't spit on you! ”

Ince's words didn't stop the assistant referee. After the referee communicated with the assistant referee, he came to the Wolves coach and faced him with a red card!

Park Sung-hwan, who was standing on the sidelines, laughed in his heart: Boy, you know the power of the media now!

Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy? Keogh yelled, "No! Oh, God! No! The referee pulled out a red card to Ince and he was sent to the stands! ”

"The game has just begun, and the heavy blows are coming to Wolves in waves!"

Manchester City TV exclaimed: "The game has just begun, and the scales of victory are tilted like Manchester City!" ”

In the stands, Fan Zhiyi shook his head lightly and said, "Retreat with your whole body? ”

"It's hard! Difficult! ”

Sun Jihai didn't speak, and no one knew what he was thinking now.

In the south stands, the Wolves fans who had come thousands of miles to cheer for their team could no longer suppress their anger and shouted at the referee: "Black whistle! Black Whistle! Black Whistle! ”

Obviously, they were laughed at by the City fans. The saliva man rushed forward and threw a straight punch at the Manchester City fan who was foul at him......

The chaos stretched from the stadium to the stands, and the two sides fought violently, with the stadium security guards rushing up with cards in their left hands and batons in their right hands......

Thousands of miles away, the night sky of Wolverhampton resounded with angry and loud shouts......

Morgan, who did not travel to Manchester City with the team, looked at the TV screen with a gloomy face. (To be continued......)
