Nine Hundred and Fifty-Five Guardiola Was Provoked!
Moderate rain on weekend night.
Manchester City face Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
On this rainy night in Manchester, the Manchester derby was staged in the FA Cup knockout round, which undoubtedly has a special meaning.
Although Manchester City has undergone a large rotation, and even Su Dong was on the bench, the overall strength is still very good, and the team is in good shape. momentum.
In front of Manchester City, the Red Devils have long lost the spirit of the Premier League king.
Ferguson's team fell into passive at the beginning, but still defended very tenaciously.
What makes many Manchester United fans even more encouraged is that Scholes, who has been missing for a long time, is back on the Manchester United bench.
This is the day before the game, Manchester United suddenly announced that Scholes is back, and Ferguson immediately put him in the squad against Manchester City, which shows how urgent the desire for Scholes is.
The rainy day itself limited Manchester City's passing and possession play, but tonight, Manchester City's enemy is not only the ghost weather, not only the opposite Manchester United, but also from the referee Chris Foy.
The 50-year-old Foy is a very experienced referee, but he is starting to fail to keep up with the rhythm and pace of Premier League games.
Especially this season, he frequently made serious law enforcement errors.
For example, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost 0-1 away to Queens Park Rangers.
Why lose?
Because in the first half of the game, Chelsea were sent off by Chris Foy for two players, Bosingwa and Drogba, and gave Queens Park Rangers a penalty, which helped Queens Park Rangers beat Chelsea .
Not long ago, in the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Stoke City faced Tottenham Hotspur at home.
Chris Foy ignored the home team's two handball fouls in the penalty area, center-back Shawcross's hug, and Woodgate's various fouls, but blew away Tottenham Hotspur center Adebayor The goal helped Stoke City "closely beat" Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, ending Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record.
These two games have made Chris Foy the target of public criticism. Premier League teams and the media have questioned his law enforcement ability, believing that at the age of 50, he has begun to make mistakes and has obviously failed to meet the requirements of the Premier League.
But this time,
The FA is still arranging for Chris Foy to officiate the Manchester derby in the FA Cup.
Before the game, Ferguson jokingly said that he did not want Chris Foy to favor the poor law enforcement of the home team on the two occasions before his appearance this season, but hoped that he could balance the game situation more equitably.
But I don’t know if Chris Foy misunderstood what Ferguson meant, or felt that Manchester City was too strong this season, and Foy wanted to cause Manchester City a little trouble.
So in the first half of the game, less than ten minutes into the game, the Manchester City centre-back, wearing the captain's armband, was defending Nani. Both feet are on the ground, which is a beautiful defense no matter how you look at it.
But Chris Foy didn't think so, ran over and called Kompany a foul, a penalty, and a red card!
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
Nima, what kind of shit is this?
Su Dong was sitting on the bench. When he saw this scene, he stood up and looked at everything that happened on the court in disbelief. Even from such a distance, he felt that this was not a foul. How did the referee give a red card and add a penalty?
Turning his head, Su Dong looked at Ferguson in front of the visiting team's coach, and found that the Godfather of Manchester United was also confused.
Ma Dan, how much did you give him? Make him work so hard for you? Even at the risk of betting on his life's honor and future?
Su Dong's eyes seemed to be breathing fire.
Ferguson shook his head with a wry smile, as if to say: If I say no, you won't believe it either.
I believe you are stupid!
Su Dong turned his head angrily and walked back to the bench.
...
A red card and a penalty kick. Needless to say, in the final result, Kompany was sent off and Rooney scored a penalty.
But this is just the beginning.
Manchester City suffered such a blow at the opening, and the team immediately fell into chaos, and the performance on the pitch was a bit leaderless.
Although the team still has an advantage in passing and controlling the ball, Manchester United's counterattack is also impressive.
In the 30th minute, a cross from Evra's left flank hit Hazard's leg, and Welbeck took a foot near the penalty spot to give Manchester United another victory, 2-0.
Ten minutes later, Welbeck dribbled the ball into the penalty area again. After being tripped by Leighton Baines, the referee Chris Foy awarded a penalty again, and Rooney made another cool kick, 3-0.
This time the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium can quit!
Nima, how much did they charge Manchester United?
A red card, two penalty kicks, you might as well just hand over the promotion right to Manchester United so that we don't have to play another game.
Even when Rooney scored a penalty, there was a burst of applause, full of irony.
Then every time Chris Foy blew the whistle, whether in Manchester City's favor or not, he was greeted with overwhelming boos.
...
Before the first half was over, assistant coach Torrent had already walked to the bench and told Su Dong and Pepe to prepare and replace them at halftime.
The two best friends looked at each other, and both stood up helplessly and ran out to warm up.
At this time, replace them, the answer is self-evident, in fact, they still want to attack.
Pepe's role is to stabilize the defense, Su Dong's role is only one, and that is to score goals.
Three goals behind and not giving up, it seems that Guardiola is also incensed.
...
"In the second half, our tactics were simple, possession, organization, and goals!"
Guardiola withdrew the two wingers and let Sudong and Aguero partner with the double forwards. At the same time, he also let Pepe up and partnered with David Luiz in the center back. The captain's armband was also put back on Sudong's arm.
"Everyone, what I want to say is that we are down 3-0 and we have never been so embarrassed so far this season, not even since last season."
"If the opponent relies on strength to score our goal on the court with dignity, then I will admit such a goal, but now, our opponent is relying on the referee's relationship, through two penalty kicks and a red card, to get I can't accept such a lead!"
Pep Guardiola has always been polite, and rarely is he like an enraged lion.
Of course, he has reason to interfere and be ashamed, because no one can accept this way of losing the ball.
"In the second half, we will not be conservative, we will score goals, continue to score goals, we will equalize, or even reverse."
"They want to take the promotion right from us, and we won't give it to you!"
At the end of the day, Guardiola gritted his teeth, which was really different from the past, but it also stimulated the players.
Su Dong was the first to stand up in solidarity with Guardiola.
"We scored three goals at half-time. It's not that we don't have such experience. I believe that even if we are one person less than the opponent, we can still control the game and kill the opponent."
"This is our home ground, we just want to show our indomitable momentum, we want to tell Manchester United, tell the world, even if we send off one of our players, even if we are one player less than the opponent for a long time, we can still suppress the opponent, and we can still defeat the opponent. opponent's defense."
"We can definitely do it!"
Su Dong shouted loudly and got the response and support of his teammates.
…………
…………
Before the second half of the game started, Manchester United players sensed something was wrong.
Su Dong actually played!
Is this a fight for life?
One person is missing, and Su Dong is still there. Is this a counterattack?
Ferguson met him on the sidelines, and his heart suddenly burst. He looked at Guardiola in front of the home team's coach, clearly showing admiration, worry and other complex emotions.
The shadow that Su Dong gave him was too great.
But what surprised Ferguson even more was that he only played for more than a minute in the second half, and even Manchester United hadn't touched the ball a few times. David Silva moved forward to the left side of the front of the penalty area and cut inside with the ball. Made Smalling's foul and won a very well-positioned free-kick for Manchester City.
Without hesitation, Su Dong stood on the penalty spot, placed the ball, stepped back slowly, and watched Manchester United set up a human wall in the penalty area. He wanted to go up and tell them, don't put it, it's useless.
Over the years, he has no idea how many free kicks he has taken. In this position, his hit rate is the highest.
David Silva knows this, so just now in the left corner of the penalty area, he did not fall to the ground, he brought it directly to this area and fell, earning a precious free kick opportunity for Manchester City.
After the human wall was placed, Su Dong looked at the referee Chris Foy.
Anyway, no matter whether he received money from Manchester United or not, whether he wanted to help Manchester United win, Manchester City all thought he had it.
After Chris Foy blew the whistle, Su Dong took a quick run forward.
Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was seen flying out quickly, passing over the head of the human wall, hanging directly on the upper side of the near corner of the goal, almost rubbing the crossbar into the net.
Goalkeeper Lindegaard was stunned.
He never thought that Su Dong's free kick would come so quickly, so decisively, and so powerless.
There were thunderous cheers and applause throughout the Etihad Stadium, and all Manchester City fans were chanting Su Dong's name.
After Su Dong scored a free kick, he did not run to the sidelines to celebrate, but rushed straight to Manchester United's goal. Before everyone could react, he directly picked up the football in the goal line, turned around and ran quickly. Towards the middle circle, after placing the ball at the midpoint, he ran out of the middle circle again.
At this time, everyone up and down Manchester City had returned to their positions, set up a battle, and looked like they were facing a big enemy, waiting for Manchester United to come and kick off.
At this moment, this scene not only exclaimed all the fans at the scene, but also surprised Ferguson on the sidelines.
Today's Manchester City is no longer the grass-roots mercenaries that were created back then, but an iron army closely surrounding Su Dong, with good cohesion and terrifying combat effectiveness!
