The scene of Kompany holding the cup was interpreted in various ways by Fleet Street.
Hao Qiang and Yaya Toure stood on both sides behind Kompany, far apart.
Hao Qiang is close to the middle, but Yaya Toure is more like a peripheral person.
Fleet Street described Manchester City's League Cup win as: Hao Qiang came back in time to come on as a substitute and save the cup!
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight.
Everyone in Fleet Street praised Hao Qiang for his wonderful performance and outstanding contribution with one shot and two passes within 45 minutes after coming off the bench.
The over-hyping made Manchester City fans feel like they were in a dream: Could it be that Hao Qiang played all the games alone?
He has merit, but it does not obscure the existence of others.
Fleet Street clearly played a game of chess against Manchester City.
Hao Qiang was injured. They praised Yaya Toure, but soon turned around and turned into a mad stampede!
How hard he stepped on Yaya Toure.
How high is Hao Qiang now?
Celebrities and football pundits from all walks of life are making suggestions and solutions for Manchester City, but they are actually watching the joke!
When public opinion was extremely antagonistic towards Manchester City's two heavyweight stars and had a polarizing effect, the Manchester City team naturally had a situation where "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers".
Hao Qiang, as a newcomer who joined for 150 million euros, has not finished the season yet. He has already proved with his performance that he is the number one striker and even the number one star in the Premier League when he lands in the Premier League!
Therefore, it is not difficult to predict the outcome of Manchester City's internal strife.
It's just that the media will take advantage of the topic to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire.
Win eyeballs step by step and earn attention from viewers.
Manchester City took a week off after winning the championship.
The FA Cup quarter-finals are coming one after another.
After this game, Manchester City will go to Barcelona!
Therefore, Hao Qiang continued to be placed on the bench.
Manchester City vs Wigan Athletic at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City made appropriate rotations.
But Pellegrini still insisted on using Yaya Toure.
Pellegrini always hopes that the pressure of public opinion and his own warning to Yaya Toure will make the top Ivory Coast midfielder wake up and respond with a steady and strong performance.
Turn the internal strife within the team into healthy and positive competition!
But he underestimated the power of Fleet Street in public opinion.
Until Hao Qiang was injured, public opinion and within Manchester City were actually split between Yaya Toure and Hao Qiang.
Some people support Yaya Toure, while others support Hao Qiang.
From being at loggerheads with each other, Hao Qiang gradually gained the upper hand.
But now the direction has completely changed!
Yaya Toure is completely unsupported.
Hao Qiang has overwhelmingly become the most reliable soul and core of Manchester City.
In this context, Yaya Toure's mentality has collapsed!
In the summer of 2012, he still dreamed of becoming the king of Manchester City. In less than two years, not only was he no longer the darling, the core, and the boss, but he became a burden, a troublemaker, and a troublemaker that many people despised.
Rat shit!
Of course he was not convinced.
So when facing Wigan Athletic, his performance on the field went crazy. He was obviously a defensive midfielder, but he played as an attacking midfielder and even grabbed opportunities for forwards.
Manchester City's entire midfield and frontcourt were in chaos.
At the end of the half, no more, no less, two goals behind!
The Etihad Stadium was booed by its own fans.
Targeting Yaya Toure!
Hao Qiang started to warm up again.
Pellegrini knows that the fans cannot accept the consequences of being eliminated at home!
Five minutes into the second half, Hao Qiang came on the stage.
After he came on the stage, Yaya Toure still charged hard and fought hard, bringing the rhythm into another dimension.
Anyway, except himself, no one knows what he is going to do, and cannot predict his behavior, so it is difficult to cooperate with him tacitly.
In the 57th minute of the game, Pellegrini replaced Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure looked dissatisfied, but he had just shown his dissatisfaction with the head coach's decision to replace him. The deafening boos at the Etihad Stadium made him wake up like a dream!
Manchester City fans' dissatisfaction with him is about to stop at booing and start swearing!
Yaya Toure quickly left the field with his head lowered and sat on the bench with his eyes vacant and vacant.
No one knows what he is thinking, and the director will show him footage from time to time to let the audience see how this former boss is now in decline.
Pellegrini is still kind-hearted and hopes that Yaya Toure can really wake up at this moment!
Recognize the reality.
Lost!
In the core competition between him and Hao Qiang, Hao Qiang has already proven with his performance that he is more worthy of the core position of the team.
It’s not scary to lose.
The terrible thing is that you lose but refuse to admit it!
Just bow your head and admit it.
Concentrate on doing your own job well and don't think about the limelight and performance. He will still be an important part of Manchester City's championship puzzle and their ambition to achieve hegemony.
Pellegrini, facing a star of Yaya Toure's caliber, certainly couldn't just let him go easily. He just thought about it, slapped his thigh, and heartlessly told him to get out.
I am still dreaming that Yaya Toure will change everything and change my mind.
Manchester City spent 15 minutes on the field establishing the rhythm and situation of frontcourt pressure.
In the 74th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received Aguero's pass in the penalty area and passed the ball back without any delay.
David Silva, who came in from behind, changed the direction of the ball, swung out of the angle, and shot hard to complete the goal!
Aguero rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.
No celebration at all!
Time is tight and the task is heavy. Everyone in Manchester City is racing against time.
Wigan Athletic can only continue to defend.
Manchester City continued to press and attack at a constant pace.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Hao Qiang and Aguero changed positions and ran inside to the back of the penalty area. He received a pass from Navas. When he stopped the ball with his chest, he changed direction and dodged the press. When the football bounced to the ground, he was blocked.
He volleyed into the far corner of the goal!
The Etihad Stadium burst into cheers!
Manchester City 2:2 Wigan Athletic!
Aguero wanted to celebrate, but Hao Qiang rushed straight into the goal.
Pick up the football and run towards the midfield.
Firm steps, majestic expression.
Manchester City fans could hardly avert their eyes.
"This is what our players should look like!"
"Hao Huang is mighty! One more goal and we will defeat Wigan Athletic in regular time!"
"It's a shame that Wigan Athletic was able to lead for a long time at the Etihad! Fortunately, Hao Huang returned from injury, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Wigan Athletic is not only a bit scary, but also a bit chaotic!
Manchester City equalized the score in a short time. They were united and full of energy!
Keep on attacking with all your strength!
The game had just entered stoppage time. Hao Qiang nodded the ball from behind the penalty area. Fernandinho, who came in from behind, went to the goal and headered the ball. It was like a heavy hammer that knocked open the door of Wigan Athletic.
!
Manchester City reverses and wins!
3:2!
Fernandinho, who scored the winning goal, immediately rushed to hug Hao Qiang!
The Manchester City generals gathered around.
Hao Qiang stood in the middle of the crowd with his chin held high and his right fist raised.
He has firmly established himself as the heart and soul of Manchester City!
