Chapter 91 Losing Manchester City

The first half of the game ended quickly. Manchester City did not take advantage of the last few minutes of the first half to score goals. Instead, Egman almost seized the opportunity to go to the next city.

At halftime, Mancini was furious in the locker room, criticizing the poor performance of several attacking players, and praising the defenders who had resolved several threatening counterattack opportunities. It's true. If it hadn't been for Manchester City's excellent performance in the back line and struggled to block Goshao's several shots, the current score would not be as simple as 1:0. It is estimated that it would have been 2:0, 3:0 or even 4:0. Now Manchester City still have the hope of equalizing or even overtaking. The players in the back line are not good. No.

Mancini gave an ultimatum to the attacking player. If he can't equalize the score within ten minutes after the start of the second half, he will be replaced.

After the opening of the second half, the offensive players of Manchester City really improved. Within a few minutes, there were three-legged shots in a row. One of them, Tevez hit the goal post in the arc of the penalty area with excellent personal skills and popped out the bottom line. This shot made Tevez beat his chest.

Mancini's face looks much better. In fact, he doesn't really want to change people. Now the attacking players on the field are the most powerful and state of Manchester City. They can't score a goal, so it may not be much better to change people. Since the performance of the attacking players on the field is getting better and better, it is certainly better for them to continue to play.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Under the defense of the Gosho players, Manchester City did not score, but Mancini did not change. Several offensive players who thought they would be replaced were more relaxed, and they worked harder to launch the attack.

But today's Gosho's defensive players are really tenacious, and Manchester City's luck today does not seem to be very good. Their several threatening attacks have missed the goal, which makes Mancini choke.

In the 70th minute, Mancini replaced left winger Ashley, who had physical problems, with Guardado. Yang, in order to continue to maintain the attack power on the sidelines, Guardado was very active after playing. For a while, the right side of the Gosho team was disturbed by him. Lin Fenglei waved his hand, and all the players of Gosho's team returned to their half-time defense.

Mancini looked nervously at the situation on the court at the sidelines. At this time, his assistant coach put down his mobile phone and said to him, "Paris Saint-Germain is already 4-0 ahead."

Mancini said without looking back, "I don't care about the score over there. I only care about whether we can score or not."

At the home court of Paris Saint-Germain, Ancelotti also got the score of Manchester City vs. Gosau told by his assistant coach. When he learned that Manchester City was still 0:1 behind Gosau at home, he was overjoyed. Paris Saint-Germain won the Bulgarian Central Army in Sofia by a big score. He no longer cares about his team's game, but tells the assistant coach not to interrupt the contact with Manchester City and always pay attention to the score there. If Gosho can really beat Manchester City away, then Ancelotti will really thank God.

In the 75th minute of Manchester City's game against Gosau, Mancini replaced left-back Barnes with Togolese striker Adebayo to enhance the impact on the front line. Adeba is 1.90 meters tall, strong and has a strong header ability. In this situation where he can't open the situation in the face of intensive defense, he is a good choice on the front line. It's just that he suffered a serious injury at the beginning of this season, and now he is recovering from a serious injury, so Mancini did not send him to start, but now that the defense players of the Gosho team have fought for most of the game, and they will send him up again when their physical fitness declines a little, hoping to change the situation on the field.

Lin Fenglei immediately sent Henkoz, the central defender of the youth team, and replaced the front midfielder Hodel with him. There are also three defenders in the penalty area. Henkoz is 16 years old this year. He is not too tall, only 1.84 meters tall, but the speed is very fast, reaching 17 and his explosive power is also 16. His defensive ability is also good, with 14 steals and 13 headers. He is also a potential central defender. After he was sent to the court, he mainly defended the short but fast Aguero, and let the tall Chevalley defend Adebayor.

Seeing that Lin Fenglei was replaced by a central defender, Mancini frowned, but when he saw that Lin Fenglei was replaced by an unknown young player, his eyebrows stretched again. It seemed that Lin Fenglei really regarded this game as a training ground for young players today. However, Mancini doesn't think it's any harm to his face. In his opinion, it's much easier for Gosho to replace Henkoz than Salihovic. Now the most important thing is the right to qualify, and Mancini doesn't think it's important.

Adebayo, who had been fighting for a long time, did not immediately bring goals to Manchester City after playing. His sense of the ball seemed to be very bad. He didn't hold the ball firmly several times, and two headers did not hit the right part. However, his strong body and impact still brought some trouble to the defense of the Gosho team, and there were inevitably some loopholes in the previously well-organized defense line of the Goshaw team.

Seeing that Adebayor's appearance was effective, Mancini immediately played the last card in his hand. In the 80th minute, he used David. Bentley replaced the right winger Gulkuv. Now the left and right wingers on Manchester City are fast and have strong ability to pass. Mancini hopes that they can give Adbayor more support, so as to open a gap in the defense of the Gosau team.

And Lin Fenglei replaced a young player. In the 82nd minute, he used Chinese player Fu Zilong to replace the already incompetent Kabanas and partnered with Sampedero. Fu Zilong also became the first Chinese player to play in the Champions League for Gosho.

In the 88th minute of the game, Manchester City's midfielder Diego shook over Sam Pedro after controlling the ball in the front court, and then divided the ball to the left side. Guardado made a high-speed low-bottom pass. Under the interference of Gugleman, the quality of the pass was not too high, high and slow, and the landing point was still behind, but Adebayo in the middle. He still struggled to grab this landing point. He looked back at the moon and hit the ball and put the ball to the left side of the small penalty area. Manchester City striker Tevez cleverly got out of the crowd and poked it gently with his right foot. The ball got into the goal of the Gosau team. Although Ceccarelli fell to the ground and tried his best to stretch out his right hand to block the ball, he had no choice but to do anything about this close shot.

After scoring the goal, Tevez glanced at the referee and saw that the referee's right hand pointed to the middle circle, indicating that the goal was effective. Then he ran crazily to the sidelines to celebrate, and his teammates also chased after him. Tevez ran to the fan stands and roared. The Manchester City fans, who had been suppressed for too long throughout the game, cheered loudly. They shouted Tevez's name to thank the Argentine striker who saved the team.

Other Manchester City players caught up with Tevez, and then threw him on the grass and played the game of stacking arhats. Not far from them, their head coach Mancini lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said something. He didn't know which god he was thanking.

At the home court of Paris Saint-Germain, Ancelotti learned from the assistant coach that Manchester City equalized the score at the last minute. He seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water on his head for three or nine days, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom, but what can he say? He can only blame himself for failing to perform better in the previous game, so as to grasp his fate.

With the intervention of the referee, the Manchester City players had to return to the court to continue the game. At this time, the game time had passed 90 minutes, and the referee signaled that the game would be 5 minutes.

The players on both sides are not very satisfied with this stoppage time. In fact, after such a fierce game, the players on both sides are physically and psychologically very tired. If they shake hands 1:1 at this time, it is a satisfactory result for both sides, but the referee who is puzzled the amorous feelings has given such a long make-term supplement. Time.

Lin Fenglei shook his head and replaced Egman with Esposito. But less than a minute after Esposito played, Manchester City scored again. Adebayo finally regained the feeling of shooting. He put Manchester City's right-back McCon a careless 45-degree diagonal long pass into the upper right corner of the Gosho's goal on the right side of the midfield. The ball was rushed and tricky, and he drilled into the goal at the junction of the beam and the post. Chekarelly had nothing to do about the goal.

At the end of the game, Manchester City dramatically reversed the Gosau team by 2-1 with the pass and shot of Adebayor in the second half in the last few minutes, thus narrowly getting the second group qualifying place.

After the game, Mancini hugged Adebayor excitedly, and his right hand patted Adebayor on the back for a long time. He was sincerely grateful to the player who saved him.

Lin Fenglei walked to the court after the game, pulled up the young players who collapsed on the grass after the game, and then said to the crying one by one, "You have done a great job. This is your first time to play the Champions League game, and you can make a strong Manchester City. You can be completely proud of this. I believe that the next time you meet a powerful enemy, you will be able to defeat them. Besides, we haven't been eliminated. If we lose this game, we still deserve to be the first in the group. What's there to cry about?

After listening to Lin Fenglei's words, the young players stopped their tears, raised their heads and nodded firmly to Lin Fenglei.
