Chapter 377 I... am back!
On January 1, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at home after seven games without a win.
In the standings, the two teams are second and third. This game is definitely a strong showdown!
Before the game started, apart from Yang Mo's return from injury, which deserved everyone's attention, the spat between the two teams also attracted the attention of fans.
Speaking of the cause of this spat, we have to start with an interview with Mancini.
At that time, the reporter was asking if Yang Mo would enter the roster and whether he would start. Mancini only confirmed that Yang Mo would enter the roster, and the reporter asked if he had confidence in winning the game.
At that time, Mancini replied like this, "Yang Mo's return certainly gave us a lot of confidence. Although we did not perform well during this period, we have the confidence to win this game because we are ready. And we have experience beating Tottenham because we've done it before."
Mancini's words were embellished by reporters who watched the excitement, and they were conveyed to the ears of Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp.
When the reporter was fanning the flames, he couldn't say anything about Manchester City's seven-goal victory over Tottenham, which made Harry Redknapp so angry that he unceremoniously slammed him back on the spot.
"I think Mancini, please look at the standings before saying these words. Has he lost his memory and forgotten how bad Manchester City has been recently?"
"Even if Yang Mo comes back, so what, Tottenham is no longer the Tottenham team at the beginning of the season, we are now second in the standings!"
"Let Mancini send Yang Mo to play, we have recovered our form and found a way to deal with Yang Mo!"
"I'd love to see Mancini's face when we win in Manchester!"
Following Mancini's rebuttal, Mancini naturally would not give up. The two immediately had a verbal battle before the game. In an instant, the media reported it comprehensively, and the fans turned into melon-eaters.
And this lively scene also made this game attract much attention before it even started.
With Yang Mo's return, coupled with the lively topic, the attendance rate of Manchester City, which has been declining in recent games, has been improved immediately. The game has not yet started, and there are no empty seats in the stands of the Etihad Airways Stadium.
The Premier League also seemed to think that this game was more interesting, so they did not hesitate to give up the giants match between Arsenal and Manchester United, and chose this game as the official broadcast game, and the game time was also set at noon.
In this way, it will be enough to take care of the watching time of Asian fans.
After all, Yang Mo did not play in these few games, because many domestic fans did not watch the games, so the number of viewers in the Asian region dropped sharply, which made the Premier League feel distressed.
For the Premier League, ratings are the most direct reflection of value, and a little bit is equal to less money.
So for the Premier League, the last thing you want to see now is that Yang Mo is injured in the game.
For this reason, the Premier League and the FA have also negotiated, requiring the FA to emphasize the protection of skilled players like Yang Mo when dispatching referees.
In the midst of everyone's attention, the game officially started at [-]:[-] noon UK time and [-]:[-] pm China time.
"Hello, audience friends, here is the live broadcast of the second round of Premier League No.20 brought to you by Penguin Sports. This game is Manchester City vs. Tottenham at home."
"I think domestic fans should be very happy today. After all, Chinese star Yang Mo may return to the game in today's game. This is definitely the best news for domestic fans."
"But to everyone's disappointment, Mancini did not arrange for Yang Mo to start, even though Yang Mo has entered the squad."
"This game is still Manchester City's usual 4231 formation. The starting center is still Dzeko, and the player at the right midfielder is Manchester City's new aid Aguero."
"Although we don't know why Manchester City didn't arrange Yang Mo to start, but the head coach Mancini must have his consideration. Yang Mo has been away from the game for nearly [-] days. Maybe Mancini hopes that Yang Mo will be familiar with the official game now. Rhythm……"
In the sound of Zhan Jun's introduction, Aguero and Dzeko kicked off in the middle circle, and Manchester City took the lead.
And Yang Mo, who was the focus of the audience even if he didn't appear on the stage, was sitting on the bench, chatting and laughing with Kolo Toure, who was also on the bench, and it seemed that there was no abnormality due to the bench. The condition is very good.
After the start of the game, although Manchester City has not won seven consecutive games, but at this time at home, they did not show any timidity, and launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur from the beginning.
Perhaps stimulated by Yang Mo's return, Aguero was very active on the court, creating a very threatening attack just 7 minutes into the game.
Manchester City's right back Richards passed the ball forward. After Aguero successfully received the ball in the front of the midfield, he sprinted with the ball from the side. After getting involved in the defense, he made a diagonal pass and hung the ball like Tottenham In the Tottenham penalty area.
Facing Aguero's pass, Nasri headed home.
But it is a pity that Nasri's header was a bit slow and was directly confiscated by Tottenham goalkeeper Friedel.
Although the goal was missed, the threat posed by Aguero's assist still made the Tottenham Hotspur players break out in a cold sweat.
After Manchester City's extremely threatening attack ended, Tottenham were deeply stimulated and began to get serious.
After all, before the game, Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp once made bold words that even if Yang Mo came back, he would take away a victory at the Etihad Airways Stadium.
But now if Yang Mo hasn't played yet, Redknapp's face will be swollen if he is led by Manchester City.
So under Redknapp's sideline command, Tottenham's defense began to become more cautious. After all, Aguero lacked the terrifying strength of Yang Mo, and he was still a little powerless when he was surrounded by many people.
In this way, after Manchester City launched the very threatening attack at the beginning, although they still attacked desperately, they have not been able to score a goal.
In the 9th and [-]th minutes of the first half, Silva passed the ball through the frontcourt to Dzeko. After Dzeko received the ball, although he was in the penalty area, he was blocked by the Tottenham player who returned to the defense in time.
Finally, in desperation, Dzeko kicked hastily and kicked the football on the leg of Tottenham's No. 4 central defender Kaboul.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Dzeko received a cross from Aguero in the frontcourt, and pushed in front of the goal, but the Tottenham goalkeeper fell to the ground outside the goal.
Dzeko stepped forward and wanted to make a follow-up shot, but was interfered by the defenders around him, and watched Tottenham's big foot to clear the ball helplessly.
Two missed opportunities in front of the goal, Dzeko's "soft" style of play is fully revealed. If it was Yang Mo in the situation just now, whether it was breaking free from the crowd in the crowd, or resisting the interference and stepping forward to make a supplementary shot, Tottenham players would be able to pair up. irresistible.
Faced with this situation, Mancini on the sidelines naturally saw the clues.
Mancini understood that Yang Mo should be sent to play at this time. After all, in this kind of tough battle, Yang Mo is undoubtedly the sharpest knife at the moment.
Tottenham's defense can stop Aguero, but it can't stop Yang Mo.
But thinking about substituting, Mancini hesitated at this time. He felt that the first half only played for more than 20 minutes, and it was too hasty to change so early.
Secondly, recently it was said that he relied on Yang Mo to win the game. Although he didn't care about it, he still felt a little grudge in his heart.
At this time, the situation on the court is still dominated by Manchester City. He wants to wait a little longer, and when the situation on the court changes. After Manchester City has the upper hand, he will replace Yang Mo on the court. This will somewhat weaken his ability to rely on Yang Mo to win. reputation.
But what Mancini didn't expect was that the situation on the court did change, but not in the direction he thought.
In the 306th minute of the game, Manchester City, which had the upper hand on the field, launched an attack. Silva dispatched in the middle, and Manchester City relied on passing and catching the ball to reach the Tottenham penalty area.
Nasri received a pass from Yaya Toure in front of the penalty area, and passed the ball diagonally to Dzeko in the penalty area.
But after Dzeko received the ball, before he had time to shoot, he was flanked by two Tottenham defenders and lost the ball.
After losing Yang Mo to attract defensive power, Dzeko faced defensive problems alone, getting worse every time.
Dzeko's speed is not enough, the confrontation is not strong, and his dribbling skills are average, but his ability to hold the ball behind his back with one hand is not bad. He is a typical column center.
Aguero has just entered the team, and there are still problems in cooperating with Dzeko. Naturally, it is not as good as the support Yang Mo gave to Dzeko. Therefore, Dzeko, who is the second scorer in the Manchester City team this season, will play in Yang Mo. After the injury, Mo quickly fell into a downturn.
And the most terrible thing is that Dzeko conceded the ball this time, but gave Tottenham an excellent counterattack opportunity.
For this attack, Manchester City almost pushed in across the board, and even Barry, who usually "wiped his ass" for Yaya Toure, passed halftime.
As a result, after Tottenham cut off Dzeko's attack, central defender Kabul immediately passed the ball towards the midfield with a big kick.
In the midfield, the Dutch star van der Vaart successfully received the ball, turned around and passed the ball to No. 3 forward Bell, who immediately started to break through with the ball.
Facing Tottenham's counterattack, Manchester City's backcourt defenders immediately panicked and began to return to defense.
But helplessly, Tottenham, the Welsh striker, was too fast. After a few breaths, several chasing players were left behind.
After Bell got rid of the defensive player, he dribbled the ball all the way into the penalty area, directly forming a single shot.
Facing Bell's one-handed attack, although Joe Hart chose to attack at the first time, Bell still succeeded in scoring with a light push.
"Tottenham scored first, and it was Bell No. 3 who scored the goal."
"I have to say that Tottenham's counterattack was very crisp and neat. It only took two passes from Dzeko's ball in the penalty area to Manchester City's shot in front of the penalty area."
"The most important thing is that the speed shown by the Welsh rookie striker Bell in this attack really made Manchester City's defenders desperate."
"Seeing Bale's goal, I can't help but think that in the face of such a situation of falling behind at home, it's time for Mancini to replace Yang Mo!"
Zhan Jun's commentary seemed to be heard by the fans at the Etihad Airways Stadium. Seeing that Manchester City fell behind at home, the fans seemed to recall the nightmare of the previous seven games.
At this time, everyone was very dissatisfied with Mancini's practice of not replacing Yang Mo.
"yang!"
"yang!"
"yang!"
……
With a chorus of shouts, the vibrating stadium buzzed, and the fans expressed their desire for Yang Mo to play in the most direct way.
Faced with such a scene, Mancini smiled wryly, he understood that this would no longer be the time to care about his reputation.
It is urgent to replace Yang Mo.
"Yang, go warm up."
Although the first half will be over in less than 10 minutes, the fans are looking forward to Yang Mo's appearance, and they can't wait for the second half to start.
At Mancini's order, Yang Mo, who was closing his eyes and resting his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of black pupils projected a shocking light!
His Yang Mo's heart longing for victory!Already hungry and thirsty!
And the moment Yang Mo stood up from the bench and walked out of the bench, the broadcast screen on the TV immediately switched to Yang Mo!
boom--
There was a roar like an explosion on the field!
Blue Moon fans welcomed Yang Mo who was about to play with the warmest applause and crazy shouts.
This is Yang Mo!This is the captain of Manchester City!This is the new soul of Manchester City!And the real king of the course!
"Friends from the audience! Yang Mo has already started to warm up. After nearly [-] days away from the game, Chinese star Yang Mo is finally going to return to the game."
"When Manchester City fell behind, Mancini chose Yang Mo!"
"Listen to the voices of the fans. This stadium and this city also trust Yang Mo. They believe that Yang Mo can bring them victory!"
Despite being in the studio and thousands of miles apart, Zhan Jun seemed to feel the excitement that was surging at the Etihad Airways Stadium from the deafening cheers.
Forty days of waiting, seven rounds of downturn, all Manchester City people are waiting for Yang Mo, waiting for the person who can lead Manchester City to victory!
In front of the visiting team's bench, old coach Redknapp was shocked to see Yang Mo just warming up and causing such a big wave in this stadium.
Looking at Yang Mo who was warming up wearing the No. 17 jersey, Redknapp felt nervous for some reason.
But even so, he still had a confident smile on his face.
He firmly believes that the current Tottenham is no longer the Tottenham team that was slaughtered by Manchester City. They are now second in the Premier League standings. Even Yang Mo can't beat them again.
Standing on the sidelines, taking a deep breath of the grassy air, Yang Mo looked around the field with his sharp black eyes!
The referee next to him held up the substitution sign, No. 10 Dzeko went off, and No. 17 Yang Mo came on.
Hugging with Dzeko who was off the field, Yang Mo trotted into the field.
At this time, Kompany ran to Yang Mo's side, took off the captain's armband on his left arm, and handed it to Yang Mo.
Taking the armband, he patted Kompany's shoulder. Yang Mo put the armband on his arm and patted it lightly.
"I am back!"
