Chapter 341: Special care!
There are two special Chinese people in the stands at the Etihad Stadium today, one of which is the former Manchester City player Sun Jihai
Sun Jihai landed in Europe with Fan Zhiyi in the summer of 1998 and transferred to the Crystal Palace team at the time. He made his first appearance on behalf of the Crystal Palace team in September of the same year.
Sun Jihai played for Manchester City from 2002 to 2008 and played 130 games in the Premier League. He is the first Chinese to compete in more than 100 games in the top European leagues.
As he grows older, his condition declines, and with the growth of Manchester City's youngsters, Sun Jihai lost his main position. On June 30, 2008, Sun Jihai did not renew his contract with Manchester City and signed with Xie United in the Championship as a free agent.
In May this year, Sun Jihai will join the Chinese Super League team Chengdu Sheffield United on loan. Back in China, Sun Jihai's identity has changed. In addition to his player identity, he also serves as the team's coach.
Today he appeared at the Etihad Stadium as a VIP. The person sitting next to him was General Fan Zhiyi and Fan who landed in Europe at the same time as him.
They came together just to watch Wang Rui's game, because the same blood flowed in their blood.
The two didn't know that Wang Rui's current situation was very bad. Sun Jihai said to Fan Zhiyi: Wang Rui's condition was very good in recent games, scoring three goals in two games and assists.
Fan Zhiyi nodded and said: Some British media believe that Wolves are under special care by the referee. I have carefully watched the game video and felt that the British media has exaggerated the words. The signs of Wolves being taken care of are not obvious.
Sun Jihai smiled softly: British media often exaggerates the fact that the competition among media is too fierce, and they want to attract readers through these.
Fan Zhiyi shifted the topic to the field. Wolves won two consecutive victories and were in the limelight, while Manchester City was in poor condition recently, with multiple main players injured, and the last home defeat, so many people think that today's game will be a draw.
I think Manchester City has a greater chance of winning, and the soldiers will win. They have no way out.
However, Sun Jihai said: If Wang Rui performs well, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win.
Fan Zhiyi frowned obviously slightly.
This Shanghai star is known for his strength, but when he thinks that the person around him is more successful overseas than him, he forcibly suppresses his inner displeasure.
Will Manchester City not look at him to death
Sun Jihai smiled softly and said: In the last game, West Ham United used all the power they could use to defend him, but he still scored twice.
Compared with Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi's understanding of English football is much worse.
Last season, I should have had the chance to compete with him on the court. Unfortunately, I was suffering from injuries at that time and returned to China to recuperate.
Sun Jihai said regretfully: If you miss that opportunity, you may never have a chance in your life.
While the two were communicating, Wolverhampton TV was introducing the starters of both sides. After football commentator Andy Keo began introducing Manchester City.
Mark Hughes lined up a four-four-two formation tonight, goalkeeper: No. 1 Jiwen; four defenders are: No. 2 Richards 19 Lescott 28 Kloe Toure 3 Bridge; four midfielders are: No. 8 Wright Phillips 18 Barry 34 De Jong 7 Ireland; two forwards: No. 39 Bellamy 32 Tevez
Tonight's game is very difficult, as Tevez said, Manchester City has 10,000 reasons to win. I hope Wolves can retreat completely
With a beep, the referee blew the whistle to the start of the game.
Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi also ended the exchange and focused on the court.
Not far away from them is the former Manchester City star and Costa Rican star Wan Chopp. At this moment, he looked at the Wolves player who had been passing through the half of the game like a tide, and a word popped up in his mouth: Crazy Wolf Tactics
Manchester City quickly transferred the football to the frontcourt and launched an attack on the left. Wolves' midfield and frontcourt quickly retreated like a tide. Wright Phillips made a 45-degree pass to pass the football to the Wolves' penalty area. Forward Bellamy jumped high and headed the ball.
A stronger orange figure jumped higher than him, pushing the football out of the penalty area
Kenting wants to hold up the sky above the Wolves' penalty area
Wang Rui, who returned to the penalty area arc, moved the ball. De Jong would give him the chance to get the ball and turn around. The moment the Wolves' midfield core spread his chest to catch the ball, the strong Dutch star hit his right shoulder hard.
Wang Rui instantly lost his center of gravity and turned to the turf.
When everyone thought the referee would whistle and make a foul, the referee made a gesture to continue the game
De Jong raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and controlled the football two steps, and shot a long shot
The football whistled like a cannonball, flying towards the right side of the goal
The white light suddenly appears and stops
The football was blocked by one hand
Beep
The referee's whistle sounded, and his right index finger firmly pointed at the penalty spot
The game just started, and the stadium changed suddenly. Manchester City didn't even have such obvious regulations, but they were awarded a penalty kick.
The court became chaotic, and the Wolves players rushed up in an emotional state
Manchester City TV said loudly: Manchester City got the penalty just as the penalty kick started
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keo shouted: No God De Jong had already committed a foul before Cradock's handball foul
God, this is definitely a misjudgment
Standing in the command area, Ince looked ugly. He couldn't suppress his anger and found the assistant referee's theory.
On the other side, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, and a ray of joy flashed in his eyes.
Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi looked at each other. This penalty is indeed worth discussing.
Didn’t the British media say that Wolves have always been under special care from the referee? This is special care
Too much correction
Fan Zhiyi shook his head.
Sun Jihai's overseas football career was basically spent in Manchester City, so he is full of affection for this team.
Today he came to watch this game with a complicated mood. He hoped that Manchester City could win tonight and get out of the shadow of the first home defeat, but also hoped that Wang Rui would have an excellent performance in this game.
At this time, he looked at the excited young man on the court, his expression even more complicated.
Wang Rui has always been able to control his emotions well and is rarely emotional on the court, but at this moment, he can no longer control his emotions.
After the Wolves' midfielder core stood up from the turf, he rushed into the crowd and came to the referee's face. His saliva was scattered and splashed on the referee's face.
The referee showed Wang Rui a yellow card without any mercy
Peter looked at his slightly stunned friend, hugged him and walked out of the crowd.
Why are you so excited? Is that the banner? Peter said in Wang Rui's ear: No, you are a midfielder, what you need is to be calm and calm, do you know
Wang Rui had no expression on his face and did not answer his friend's questions.
On the sidelines, Ince spitted a sputum on the turf without success in negotiations. The sputum was only ten centimeters away from the assistant referee's right foot.
The assistant referee frowned and walked into the court and walked towards the referee.
Ince had a premonition of something big, and he shouted at the assistant referee: Hey, I didn't spit at you
Ince's words did not stop the assistant referee. After communicating with the assistant referee, the referee came to the Wolves coach and looked at him with a red card.
Park Sung-hwan, who was standing on the sidelines, laughed in his heart: Boy, you know the power of the media now
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Chio screamed: No God, no referee took out a red card to Ince, he was sent to the stage
The game just started, and the heavy blows rushed to the Wolves one after another
Manchester City TV said loudly: The game has just happened, and the victory balance is tilted like Manchester City
In the stands, Fan Zhiyi shook his head gently and said: "Retreat with all your body."
Difficult
Sun Jihai didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking now.
The Wolves fans who traveled thousands of miles to cheer for their team could no longer suppress their anger and shouted at the referee: Black Whistle Black Whistle Black Whistle Black Whistle
Obviously, they were ridiculed by Manchester City fans. The saliva man rushed up and punched the Manchester City fan who was filthy.
Chaos extend from the court to the stands, and the two sides fight. The security guard in the court held a license in his left hand and rushed up with a baton in his right hand.
Thousands of miles away, the night sky of Wolverhampton City sounded angry and huge screams
