"One stupid foul, ruining the efforts of team-mates the whole game, and may even wipe out the team's efforts all season-"Manchester City Evening News"
"Balotelli has made great progress this season, but this only refers to his ability on the court. But mentally, Balotelli has not changed at all. I have to say that in the current situation in Manchester City, Balotelli needs to bear a lot of responsibility. It may be time for Van Basten to consider whether Balotelli is still suitable for staying in Manchester City," Stuart Brennan, a columnist for the Manchester Evening News, said bluntly.
The media has never been too serious. On the second day, almost all the media pointed their finger at Balotelli, so under the public opinion guided by the media, Balotelli completely became the sinner of Manchester City.
In addition, Balotelli had a bad impression in the hearts of Manchester City fans, so after this game, many radical fans made the voice of telling Balotelli to get out.
In the past, Balotelli might still be able to get comfort from his teammates or the coach, but in this situation, his teammates are dissatisfied with him, so how could he have the thought to comfort him.
As for the head coach Van Basten, he was even fined directly, two weeks of weekly salary, which can be said to be a very heavy fine, adding up to 20 pounds for two weeks, which is not so much that ordinary people can earn in a year.
But compared to Balotelli's income, the money is just a drizzle, and he doesn't care at all. What really makes him sad is the attitude of his teammates and the head coach towards him.
Of course~~~ At this time, no one will consider Balotelli's feelings, and he will miss the next four rounds of the league. Balotelli did not turn two yellows into one red, but directly applied for a red card. In addition to chasing a stop, Balotelli was immediately suspended for four rounds.
In other words, after the Manchester derby, it is possible for Balotelli to return. The only good news is that he can still play in the Champions League, but whether Van Basten still trusts him at that time is two things to say.
Now the atmosphere in Manchester has changed with the points difference in the standings. Manchester United fans are rejoicing, as if they have seen the end of the upcoming overtake.
Even the players couldn't help jumping out to put pressure on Manchester City: "They have no experience. In the past few decades, they have only hovered in the middle and lower reaches. Looking at the current situation, I can guarantee that the final championship must belong to Manchester, but it belongs to us Manchester United."
It was Ashley Young who said this, but the day after this statement was reported, the glass window of the England star who had just joined Manchester United this season was smashed.
However, there is a saying in China called "Extreme joy brings sorrow", and Manchester United's situation can be described with these four words, because in the game three days later, Manchester United lost.
The opponent is not even a strong team, but Wigan, which is the second-to-last in the league. The relegation team is indeed crazy. At the DW Stadium, Wigan used a 1:0 to make Manchester United into an extremely embarrassing situation.
The world of football is so wonderful, it is so incredible. In the history of the Premier League, Wigan has never won against Manchester United before. Even 14 times they have played against each other without even a draw.
This is almost a game that must be won, but the result is full of surprises. God always likes to bring surprises to people. If it is not for the help of the referee, the score of this game is not 1:0, but 2:0.
Because in the first half, African Messi scored a goal and was blown off by the referee, Manchester City escaped from death, but in the second half, Wigan cooperated with a tactical corner kick, and Scottish striker Maloney completed the fatal blow. Manchester United finally lost at the DW Stadium.
On the other side, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, Manchester City did not have any surprises. Facing West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City defeated their opponents with a clean 4:0.
In just 5 minutes of the opening, Manchester City broke the deadlock. In this game, Dzeko returned to the starting lineup, and Silva also returned to health.
The first goal came from Aguero's shot. Silva made a cross from the side. Dzeko headed back to the top.
Although the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper touched the ball, he failed to control the ball. In the end, the ball bounced into the goal and Manchester City took the lead 1:0.
Manchester City wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but West Bromwich Albion did not surrender. In the following time, although Manchester City had a strong offensive, it was always a little short of scoring.
No.12 minutes, Dzeko ushered in the first shot of the game. Li Feng broke into the penalty area from the middle. Dzeko ran back and wanted to pull the defender away for Li Feng. Unfortunately, West Bromwich Albion's defensive player did not follow Dzeko. Instead, he directly blocked Li Feng, so he passed back, and Dzeko kicked a long shot directly outside the penalty area.
The ball was lifted directly out of the bottom line by the goalkeeper, and Manchester City did not make any contribution to the subsequent corner kick. The ball was pushed out by West Bromwich Albion defender Dawson.
No. In the 18th minute, Li Feng and Silva collided with the wall and tore apart West Bromwich Albion's defense. Silva broke into the penalty area and shot wide from a small angle.
Two minutes later, Silva made a comeback, but this time it was the Spaniard's personal performance. He first broke through the right back Jones who was facing him in this field, and then cleverly tricked Olsen after cutting into the penalty area.
The breakthrough in the front was perfect, but Silva felt a little embarrassed at the last kick, because he kicked it crookedly and the ball went far out of the goal.
No.205 minutes, West Bromwich Albion ushered in the first shot of the game, a defensive counterattack, a long pass from the midfielder Andrews, there is no way, the position of the midfielder has retreated to the position of the midfielder.
Forward Shane Long was fully fired. At this time, the importance of Boateng appeared. Although the Irish striker was fast, Boateng's speed was not slow. In the end, under Boateng's interference, Shane Long's kick did not pose any threat to Manchester City, and was directly included in Joe Hart's pocket.
Throughout the first half, West Bromwich Albion had only two shots on goal, and Manchester City was twice as many as their opponents. Throughout the first half, Manchester City had a total of twelve shots on goal. In terms of ball possession rate, Manchester City was even 80.00 blocks behind. Manchester City's ball possession rate reached an unbelievable [-]% or more when it was the most exaggerated.
However, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1:0, and Manchester City, which had the upper hand, was still unable to expand the score.
