There are miracles in the football world, but miracles are always hard to come by...
Haaland scored two goals, Luo Wu scored two goals, and the two ace players of Arsenal each contributed two goals, pushing Manchester City to the turf.
"This is impossible."
"how so?"
The Manchester City fans in the stands hugged their heads one by one, unable to believe all this.
Head coach Guardiola had cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his mouth was tight, but his eyes were very wandering. He raised his left hand to look at his watch, and then looked up at the big screen.
There are only six minutes left before the end of the first half.
I really hope this damn first half ends early, maybe, this game ends early...
"Fake."
"Farke, Farke!"
Ederson cursed again.
But this time, his teammates all had their heads hanging down, and no one was paying attention to him.
Numb.
Everyone is numb.
Harland and Ronaldo who scored goals celebrated right under their noses, but they turned a deaf ear...
Everyone knows that this game is over.
But this doesn't mean they can surrender now.
This is simply impossible to explain to the home fans.
And their performance is no worse than Arsenal's. What's worse is the forward's ability to seize opportunities.
Apart from Aguero, the other two guys in the team are so happy. As long as Jesus and Sterling, these two living treasures, seize an opportunity, Manchester City will not be so miserable.
At this time, Arsenal had retreated into the backcourt, and Manchester City easily advanced to Arsenal's half.
De Bruyne picked up the ball in the middle, and Walker and Mendy on the wing stepped forward, and even center back Kompany ran in front of Luo Wu.
Only Fernandinho and Mendieta were beside Luo Wu to prevent Arsenal's counterattack.
De Bruyne passed the ball to Walker, who directly sent a 45-degree cross. Unfortunately, Aguero's height failed to reach the landing point again, and the ball was easily cleared by Papastathopoulos.
.
But the ball was still taken by De Bruyne. De Bruyne feinted a shot in front of Guendouzi, then took a step to the left and hit the goal with his left foot.
But the ball hit Elneny!
The ball bounced to Sterling's feet.
Sterling also took a cold shot with his left foot.
The ball hit the Arsenal player again.
This time Lichtsteiner blocked the ball, but Mendy on the left stopped the ball. Mendy was calmer than Walker. They didn't pass the ball carelessly, but passed it back to the outside of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.
It was handed over to De Bruyne again.
Guendouzi came forward and swept his left foot towards De Bruyne's feet. However, De Bruyne's left foot moved very quickly and immediately took a step to the right. He avoided it abruptly and followed with his left foot.
Push the instep forward!
No one thought he would send a through ball from this position!
Sterling's reaction was really fast, and he got rid of Lichtsteiner in an instant!
The left foot immediately crossed to the center.
Aguero flashed out beside Papastathopoulos and fired with his left foot!
clatter.
It was too close to the goal. Although Arsenal goalkeeper Leno reacted quickly and immediately dived down, the ball still went into the goal.
Aguero actually scored.
The whistle also sounded quite timely.
But the problem is that the referee did not point to the penalty spot, but signaled that the goal was invalid.
Goal disallowed?
The Manchester City players looked confused.
The referee was immediately surrounded.
Didn't they see the linesman raise his flag?
The flag waving in the air told everyone that this was an offside goal.
Aguero was offside.
"Oh."
"The linesman has a really sharp eye. Can he even see the offside? I really didn't notice it. It felt like Aguero's arm was just offside..."
“How does the linesman see clearly?”
"I admire it." Ferdinand smiled.
"I guess I'm just bragging? Haha." Carragher also laughed.
"Don't you always take good care of Manchester City?"
"Today is really strange."
However, in the slow-motion replay, the linesman saw correctly, Aguero's arm was really offside...
Poor Manchester City.
Guardiola didn't know it. He had already gone to the fourth official to roar, angrily pointing in the direction of the referee and yelling curses.
"Fake."
"This is a stupid penalty!"
"If you take the money, you can just punish us and lose the game!"
This is not like the usual Guardiola.
Guardiola is usually gentle and polite, and would never get irritated by a penalty, but today he became furious and angry, even humiliating the referee team.
This is not bad.
The fourth official did not want to say a word to him and immediately reported to the referee through the microphone.
As a result, the referee immediately ran down.
As he ran, he took out the ruby card from his pocket, and when he came to Guardiola, he lit it up in front of him without hesitation.
"Oh, red card!"
"The referee showed Guardiola a red card and sent him off the field. What happened? What did Pep say to the fourth official? Otherwise, why would the referee come over in a hurry and show him the red card?"
"I must have said something intolerable."
"I have not seen Pep like this, never. It was so unexpected. This is an atypical Guardiola."
"If he is driven into the stands, then Manchester City will have no hope at all."
"1:4. Will the score be doubled in the second half? If Luo Wu still stays on the court, then I really think this result will happen. Leo, what do you think?"
Ferdinand took over and said, "Probably not. In order to protect Luo Wu, Emery should replace him. If we can't win against Manchester City with one less player after three goals, it will be unreasonable."
"So the second half should be a tacit game, and Emery should give Manchester City face."
"Only one or two goals at most, right?"
At this time, Guardiola was still very excited. The assistant coach originally pulled him back, but he shook the assistant coach's arm away with a strong shake, then turned around and continued to curse at the referee.
"Fake."
"Fake!"
Then when he saw a mineral water bottle on the ground, he swung his right foot forward and kicked the mineral water bottle away.
"Oh my god. What the hell happened to this guy?"
"Just this action can also increase the punishment."
"I think it's not just a one-game suspension, but an additional suspension."
"Guardiola may have never lost so miserably, right? I couldn't think of it for a while. He had been in the greenhouse for too long before. He used to abuse others, and now he is being abused..."
