Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 167

Shortly after the match with West Ham United, Manchester City faced Crystal Palace again.

It may be because the start time of the League Cup and the league is too close, or it may be because there will be a Champions League match in the middle of the week. In short, Manchester City lost this match against Crystal Palace!

In this game, Manchester City fielded the strongest lineup.

Ferran Torres continued to be injured, Foden continued to sit in the center, and then Grealish and Jesus were on both sides.

The three midfielders are Chen Chen, Rodri and De Bruyne.

The back line is Cancelo, Laporte, Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker.

In the fifth minute of the opening, Laporte sent a big gift, and Zaha received a wonderful pass from Gallagher to open the scoring.

In the 12th minute.

Chen Chen assisted De Bruyne to score a wonderful close-range push, and the score came to 1-1!

In the first half stoppage time, Laporte was given a red card for his wrong foul!

The referee was originally biased towards Crystal Palace, and now there is one less player to play, which is amazing!

Shortly after the start of the second half, Guardiola replaced De Bruyne with Stones.

This is to strengthen the backcourt defense.

After that, Crystal Palace also made substitutions.

Benteke, the lifelong enemy of Mr. Zhan Jun, came on as a substitute.

At the 80th minute of the game, Guardiola exerted his strength!

Today's game was played at home. How could Guardiola allow himself to only get a draw?

So he waved his hand, Cancelo and Grealish went off the court, and Mahrez and Sterling came on the court.

This is a desperate gamble.

In the 87th minute, Foden was pulled to the ground by the opponent after dribbling into the penalty area!

Unfortunately, the referee Simon Bennett was blind and he did not whistle a penalty!

Then Crystal Palace immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Gallagher, a Chelsea player who was loaned to Crystal Palace in the summer window, exerted his strength!

After passing Stones, he chose to aim far and shoot close.

The ball went in!

1-2!

At the last moment of the game, Chen Chen assisted Jesus to score the equalizer, but after the certification of the VAR video referee, the referee said that it was offside first, and the ball was invalidated.

For a moment, all the Blue Moon players were torn apart!

Every one of them rushed up to surround the referee and ask for an explanation!

You chose not to watch the VAR when Foden fell to the ground, but now you watch the offside ball that was just a hair's breadth away?

However, the pressure from Manchester City players did not change the referee's mind.

On the contrary, several of them received yellow cards for obstructing the referee from enforcing the game, including Chen Chen, Ruben Dias, and Ederson who was scored again.

Guardiola on the sidelines was very angry!

He rushed to the fourth official several times to ask for an explanation.

It's not that Guardiola can't accept losing, he just can't accept such a loss with inconsistent penalties!

At the end of the game, Crystal Palace took away three points at the Etihad Stadium.

The MVP of this game was Gallagher, who scored one goal and one assist.

The 21-year-old Gallagher wanted to exchange jerseys with Chen Chen, but Chen Chen refused.

There was no special reason, mainly because Chen Chen didn't want to change.

After all, who would be in the mood to change jerseys after such a miserable loss today?

It was good that he didn't rush up to hit the referee just now.

After the game, when passing the media mixed interview area, Chen Chen did not stay to chat with reporters as usual. Today he walked away directly.

On the other hand, Guardiola did not attend the post-match press conference.

Will there be a fine? Then fine!

Leave the money for those referees to buy better Feng Shui treasures!

This game has set off a lot of hot searches in the Premier League.

One reason is that Manchester City, which is in its heyday, finally suffered its first defeat in the league, and another reason is that the referee's penalty scale in this game is indeed touching.

"The Red Army Liverpool and Brighton tied, Broke Car fans slid on their knees in the living room!

Now seeing Manchester City's score, Broke Car fans' knees are about to be cut!"

"Crystal Palace has indeed improved a lot compared to before. They quickly assist in defense, pass and cut accurately, and have a strong desire to intercept. If they win the game with real swords and guns, no one will say anything.

But the worry is that Manchester City has one less player today, and the referee's penalty scale is different, which makes Crystal Palace's three points very "watery".

And what's interesting is that Crystal Palace has played like "I'm a repairman, it's normal to carry a wrench on me" in the last 20 minutes.

Chen Chen and Rodri were almost kicked to death, and the referee didn't give a yellow card! I can only say, awesome!"

"If I said after Arsenal lost to Manchester City by a large score that Arsenal was only 8 points behind Manchester City after the first 10 rounds, would you think I was crazy! (dog head dog head)"

"Jiabao! Mommy loves you!"

"Don't want a boy, mommy, don't want a boyMom!"

"Chelsea is the biggest winner after this round!"

"It's true that the Premier League supports physical confrontation, but you can't support physical confrontation on one side, right? If it's the same as the red card for Laporte, Foden will definitely get a penalty + yellow card when he falls to the ground, but what's the result?"

"Starting to control the score from the 10th round? The FA is unreasonable, right?"

"Foden really can't take on the responsibility of center forward. It would be great if Foden and Ronaldo could swap! It's a pity that they can't."

"What a stupid Premier League referee! None of them are good! Can't they be more normal?"

"From this point of view, Grealish doesn't look like he was bought for 100 million, he looks like 30 million. Chen Chen was bought for 100 million."

"Let Stones partner with Ruben Dias, Laporte has a lot of loopholes. ”

“Although there is no problem with the offside call, although the goal was not aimed and the kick was constipated, although Crystal Palace’s quick counterattack was really strong, the referee’s eyes still need to be opened with enema!”

“…”

It is still unfair for Manchester City to lose these three points. If the referee is normal, they can at least take one point.

But there is no way, the English Football Association and the Premier League like to use this method.

Now after 10 rounds of the league, Manchester City ranks first with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and 25 points.

Chelsea ranks second with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss but has a goal difference disadvantage.

The third is Liverpool with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss and 21 points.

Arsenal ranks fourth with 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses and 17 points.

Joining with Arsenal for fourth place is Manchester United.

However, it should be noted that after Manchester United won three consecutive victories at the beginning, the results of the last 7 rounds have The record is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and there is even one win that Carrick led the team to beat Tottenham in this round!

In other words, Solskjaer only got 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses after three consecutive wins. Such a bad record is not unfair for Solskjaer to be fired.

Unlike Manchester United, Arsenal had a bad start this season, and Tazi created a bad start of three consecutive losses.

However, Arsenal recovered afterwards. In the past seven league rounds, they have won 5 wins and 2 draws, and the Arsenal has not lost a single game!

As for Tottenham?

They have 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, and have 13 points, ranking in the middle.

From this point of view, Ronaldo does not necessarily need to join Manchester City, but Kane does.
