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

Chapter 223

"Dale!"

"Foul!"

"Dale's arm hit Grealish's face, which is a very obvious foul! It is a pushing and pulling foul."

"This penalty + yellow card! No problem!"

"In the last round of the Premier League, Robertson had a similar foul, and the referee Tierney directly awarded a yellow card plus a penalty."

"Today, Dale also got a yellow card plus a penalty."

"It can really be said that Dale is the reason for his success and failure!"

In the Tottenham penalty area, Lori and Kane immediately ran over to argue with the referee.

The result? Of course it was useless.

If it would be useful to surround the referee and explain a few words, why do we need VAR?

Kavanagh quickly walked out of the encirclement of Tottenham players.

Then Kavanagh signaled that no one should get close to him, and he was listening to the opinions of the VAR video assistant referee.

Finally, with the witness of more than 60,000 fans at the scene, Kavanagh stretched out his right hand and pointed firmly to the penalty spot again!

The Blue Moon fans who traveled with the team burst into cheers again!

In the Spurs penalty area, Chen Chen silently clenched his fists and waved a few times!

Then Chen Chen immediately leaned over and took another look at Grealish's situation.

When Grealish heard the fans suddenly cheering loudly, he understood the specific penalty.

Yoko stood up slowly, and then he and Mahrez decided who would take the penalty.

The Spurs fans in the stands were going crazy!

"Asshole! He was obviously not injured! This is a wrong penalty!"

"What a dirty referee! I'm going to complain to you!"

"No, no, no! This is not a penalty!"

"Did you really watch VAR? Asshole!"

Are you talking about whether you were injured?

Then Yokoko was definitely not injured, and it was nothing to hit his face.

But the basis for the penalty for foul actions is not based on the physical condition of the fouled player.

For example, a player kicks his opponent's chest hard and kicks him several meters away.

Then, if they find that the person is fine, then the referee will not give a red card.

Will this work?

This is definitely not possible.

Soon, Grealish stood in front of the penalty spot, he wanted to sell it himself.

"Huh~!"

Ya Zi took a long breath and calmed himself down.

"Huh~~!"

This was the booing of the Tottenham fans at the scene, they tried to interfere with Grealish's judgment.

Players on both sides stood outside the penalty area, waiting to rush in at any time!

"Beep!"

After the whistle sounded, Grealish moved under the gaze of everyone at the scene!

As soon as Lori in front of the goal made a save, he knew it was over.

Because Grealish chose the middle, no matter which side Lori saved, it was useless!

"This ball goes in!"

"Glarish! He's really skilled and bold! He hit the post directly!"

"Manchester City changed the score to 2-1 at White Hart Lane!"

"They took the lead again!"

"This is Manchester City! Many people are optimistic about Tottenham today, including before the game, Coach Zhang and I were also talking about who will win today."

"For Manchester City, our view is that a draw is a victory. After all, they are a combination of substitutes and young players, and their offensive and defensive capabilities have declined a lot."

"But I didn't expect that Manchester City would surprise us today! Their defensive resilience and counterattack impact are very good!"

On the side of the court, Conte, who witnessed the penalty kick, turned around quickly. He wanted to call on the players to play!

In the broadcast screen, Ali and Winks, who were packing their coats and shoes, attracted Zhang Lu's attention.

Zhang Lu quickly said,

"Conte is going to make a substitution."

"Who? Ah! Lucas and Doherty are walking to the sidelines. They were taken down by (Conte). So maybe Tottenham will change their formation and play a 442 or 4231 formation."

Zhan Jun nodded in agreement.

He immediately continued to explain Zhang Lu's words,

"Let's see who's coming up?"

"Winks and Ali!"

"Ali can play as a front midfielder, can Winks fill in on the right? This is a 4231 formation, and Tottenham must strengthen the impact on both sides."

"Today, Lucas's impact is still a little lacking, not as good as when he faced Ajax in the Champions League semi-final."

Zhang Lu sighed,

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, he's 29 years old. How old were you when you played against Liverpool? Only 26, a few days away from 27."

"Today, Tottenham is definitely going for victory. But now the game time has reached 63 minutes, and there's not much time left for Tottenham."

Tottenham made substitutions, and Manchester City followed suit.

Today, Guardiola meant to respond to each other's moves.James McCarty left the field and Fernandinho came on.

After the old captain came up, Chen Chen ran over and handed over the armband.

The Blue Moon fans in the away team's fan zone also immediately applauded Chen Chen!

Chen Chen put the captain's armband on Fernandinho, and then the two hugged each other.

For Chen Chen, it was a great fortune to be able to start the game today and wear the captain's armband. After all, he is still very young, and Manchester City can give him the captain's armband. It can be said that he is very valued by Manchester City.

This means that Manchester City intends to train him in the direction of "team leader". After Fernandinho and Ruben retire, he will be the captain of the team!

It should be noted that Fernandinho, who is about to turn 37, is the ballast stone of Manchester City.

Although the physical strength of the Brazilian midfielder cannot support the whole game, there is no problem in playing for 30 minutes.

The same is true for Modric, the current midfielder of Real Madrid.

McCarty's performance today is still remarkable, but now the Blue Moon needs to stabilize the situation, and a qualified defensive midfielder is the best choice.

So, McCarty had to leave the field.

After Fernandez came on, Manchester City will also change to a 4231 formation.

However, it should be noted that the biggest task of Foden and Mahrez is not to go forward to participate in the attack, but to retreat to assist in defense.

In other words, now in the process of defense, Manchester City will become an extreme 541 defensive formation.

The game time soon came to the 66th minute.

Son Heung-min on the left side of Tottenham chose to try to connect with Kane again.

Today, the "Sun Kai connection" is determined to be on the right side of Manchester City, that is, Egan Riley.

But this time their little tricks were seen through by Manchester City.

Fernandez was outflanking, Laporte cooperated with Riley to press, and at the moment when Son Heung-min had to pass the ball, Laporte flew to the ground with an accurate interception!

The ball was intercepted by him!

Then Laporte tried to dribble forward, and Son Heung-min, who had lost the ball, quickly counterattacked on the spot.

Inadvertently, Laporte was pulled to the ground by Son Heung-min!

The referee quickly blew the whistle, indicating that Son Heung-min had committed a foul.

However, he did not take out a card, and Kavanagh only gave a verbal warning.

Fernandez was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and he quickly ran over to put pressure on the referee.

This is the difference between Chen Chen and Fernandez.

Chen Chen is more literary and young, and can't put too much pressure on the referee.

Fernandez is different. The Brazilian came up and pressured the referee with momentum.

Kavanagh didn't say anything and ran away.

In fact, if he was more severe, Kavanagh could indeed give a yellow card for Son Heung-min's foul just now.

But considering that Tottenham had just received a yellow card and a penalty kick, if he gave another one, Tottenham's players would probably be unbalanced.

So, Kavanagh only gave a verbal warning.

71st minute of the game.

Manchester City got a set piece near the center circle.

Because the distance was far, Chen Chen chose to look for a spot in the penalty area.

This time, Ruben Dias, who had been lying in wait, got the ball.

But in the end, his choice of header was wrong, and the ball went straight into Lori's arms!
