boom!
Dash the goalkeeper!
This is definitely a slam goalkeeper!
The Etihad Stadium suddenly exploded, and the fans stood up and cursed. It would be fine if Crouch's center of gravity was not stable in the ball just now, but in this ball, Roberts' forward leaning is too obvious. Even a fool can see that he is on purpose.
And this time the referee certainly did not choose to be a fool.
He quickly ran to the goal, taking out cards in his pocket while running.
It's just that when he was about to reach the gate of Manchester City, a scene that made Manchester City fans unbelievable appeared.
Lescott slams Roberts in the jaw with a right hook.
Stoke City players rushed over immediately.
Naturally, the players of Manchester City did not show any weakness. The players on both sides quickly gathered around the goal, pushing and shoving to start the warm-up before the big battle.
The referee quickly blew his whistle.
To be honest, he didn't expect this situation. He didn't expect that his several yellow cards had no warning effect on Stoke City, and he also didn't expect that Manchester City's players seemed to become very bloody.
However, he will not condone Lescott's aggressive behavior.
What he has to do now is to cut through the mess quickly. If this conflict is not resolved quickly, this league probably will not be able to compete, and the end of the game in his own hands will also be a stain on his career as a referee.
So without hesitation, he immediately took out the red card.
As soon as the players on both sides saw the red card, their arrogance immediately dissipated.
It's just that when the referee trotted all the way to Lescott and raised the red card, Manchester City's players immediately surrounded him.
But the referee didn't panic at the moment. He stretched out his palm to indicate please keep a distance from him, and then unhurriedly drew out another red card.
The Manchester City players stopped immediately, and then watched the referee continue to trot all the way to Roberts, who was still on the ground with the body on the ground.
red card!
Two red cards for one attack.
……
"We need to calm down now!"
"There are not many games left in the league, I don't want any of you to be sent off! Jonathan, you have been banned for two games! Do you think your position in Manchester City is stable? This is how you set an example for your old players ? And Vincent, is this how you are the captain? Do you want them to fight before you are going to fight, or are you going to take the lead in fighting?"
During the intermission, Mancini was furious. He never expected Jonathan Lescott to be so impulsive. Although Stoke City's annoying striker Roberts was also sent off, Manchester City did not take advantage of it. Too cheap.
A striker like Roberts is easy to find, but a good defender like Lescott is much rarer. Mancini's behavior of replacing Roberts in the league is simply stupid.
"Boss, it's none of the captain's business, they treated Ye like that..."
Lescott was interrupted by Mancini before he finished speaking.
"That's not a reason!" But after glancing at Ye Xin, Mancini's tone softened a little.
"I know Stoke City's style of play is very dirty, but they are dirty and we have to fight them? This time it's fine, I don't want to pursue it again, but I don't want to have a next time, Jonathan, you understand?"
"...I understand." Lescott looked at Ye Xin who was silent and then at Mancini, and heaved a long sigh. Why did you not respond at all when I spoke for you? Scott suddenly felt a feeling of being abandoned. He thought that he and Ye Xin had become real teammates after so many games, but he didn't expect that Manchester City's Black Moon didn't seem to have the slightest feeling for him as a teammate.
"Ye, do you have any problems, the second half of the game..." To be honest, Mancini really wants to replace Ye Xin, but there are only eight games before the end of the Premier League. Manchester City is still No.7, so every next A game is very important to Manchester City. It’s not that he doesn’t have the idea of Joe Hart playing, but Joe Hart’s state is like buying a lottery. If it’s a weak chicken team, forget it, but now Mancini doesn’t I don't want to put the team's performance on luck.
"I'm fine." Ye Xin touched his painful ribs unconsciously.
Mancini frowned slightly when he saw Ye Xin's actions, but he thought about it and asked again.
"Ye, don't force yourself, if you can't..."
"I'm fine, I can keep playing"
"Well, it's hard work for you." After Mancini nodded, he didn't ask Ye Xin again. He still has a lot to do now. Due to the lack of one person, Manchester City's style of play will definitely change. At this moment, the coach wants to reorganize his thoughts and talk to the Manchester City players. He doesn't want anyone to surprise him like Lexter in the second half.
The intermission passed quickly, and except for Lescott, everyone began to stand up and walk towards the player channel one after another.
Lescott covered his head with a towel and sat on a chair without saying a word. Many Manchester City players passing by him patted him on the shoulder.
When Ye Xin passed by, he stopped.
Then Lescott, who was still full of resentment, smiled.
"I will avenge you"
A promise from Ye Xin dispelled the original grievances in Lescott's heart, so when all the players left, Lescott immediately ran to the management room of the Etihad Stadium. With the help of the administrator, he quickly came to Arrived at the floor-to-ceiling window viewing area of the Etihad Stadium.
……
The second half of the game started amidst the fans' abuse against Stoke City. Except that the big moves on both sides were slightly restrained, the popularity was not much worse than that of the first half.
Stoke City is still making small moves, but Manchester City calmed down a lot after Mancini's warning.
They continued to implement the anti-leakage tactics.
And Stoke City's air attack tactics began to be staged in front of Manchester City's goal as always. Although Stoke City failed to grab the landing point in several high ball passes, the opportunity was found through hard work again and again.
And Crouch's efforts once again earned him another chance.
No. 12 minutes in the second half.
Crouch's tall body once again flew in Manchester City's restricted area.
And the figure of Ye Xin was still flying up with him. Although he was not as tall as Crouch, when Ye Xin jumped up, no one thought that his hands would not be able to touch the football.
Sure enough, Ye Xin accurately shot this high ball pass as usual, but the matter is not over yet, everyone is looking at the goal with a little nervousness at this time, fortunately this time Crouch finally did not pretend The center of gravity is unstable, ready to do it again with Yin Yexin.
It seems that the referee's red card is quite effective.
Even so, after landing, Crouch still spat heavily in front of Ye Xin.
"Well, I will push one in sooner or later."
Ye Xin looked at the tall striker of Stoke City with a blank expression, and listened to his dirty words.
Suddenly, Ye Xin made a movement that stunned the audience.
He raised his right hand high.
The four fingers are slowly bent.
Then he clasped it tightly on his thumb.
