West Ham United fans were in tears after seeing Hao Qiang assist David Silva to score!
It took them more than 70 minutes of strong performance to regain a two-goal lead.
We can’t let this bastard Hao Qiang wipe us out!
West Ham United's coaches and players are also extremely nervous.
Similar thoughts came to their minds at the same time: guard against Hao Qiang!
Who knows why Hao Qiang, who had been in a sluggish state before, suddenly seemed like an awakened lion!
Perhaps it was recharged during the game, and now its true form is revealed.
When West Ham United chased and intercepted Hao Qiang, David Silva, who scored the goal, also boosted his confidence and state.
West Ham United guarded Hao Qiang closely, and David Silva created opportunities for other players.
Aguero's shot in the penalty area shocked the West Ham United fans. Fortunately, it missed!
But Aguero had to guard against it.
Lampard, who came on as a substitute, took a long-range shot from the outside. Although it was saved, it sounded the alarm for West Ham United's defense.
I have to guard against this guy!
Dzeko's header in the penalty area when he came on as a substitute made the West Ham United defense even more nervous!
West Ham United fans have scalp numbness.
They were horrified to find that when they concentrated their forces to besiege Hao Qiang, there seemed to be holes in the defense line, and every one of them could lead to catastrophe!
The players of West Ham United did not dare to concentrate on blocking Hao Qiang.
Can't afford to gamble.
I'm afraid that the next attack point that pops up will kill them!
Just after the 90th minute of the game, Lampard reached the penalty area, received a pass from David Silva and then sent a short pass into the penalty area.
Dzeko and Aguero plus Hao Qiang, the defensive strength around the three forwards is about the same.
Hao Qiang stopped the ball when receiving the ball, then turned around and rushed in from the right side.
The defender behind him immediately turned around to block his line of attack, and even prepared to make a tackle.
But the next second, his mentality exploded!
All the fans in the stands and the audience in front of the TV can see it clearly.
Halfway through Hao Qiang's turn, the ball was still where he had received it with his back!
The defender was shaken, Hao Qiang stopped suddenly, turned around, turned back, half-turned and volleyed the ball!
The line that was originally blocked has been moved out of the way.
Hao Qiang turned around 120 degrees and then came back sharply to hit the goal!
The football flew straight to the right and into the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Goalkeeper Adrian had no time to save.
Hao Qiang’s shot was absolutely unexpected!
After the football flew into the West Ham United goal, the Hammers fans at Upton Park almost looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Manchester City fans cheered and unexpectedly came back!
"Hao Qiang! His almost superb turn around and fake swing and precise and powerful shot!
It was he who saved Manchester City at the critical moment again!
Manchester City's overall performance today was absolutely terrible, and the same was true for Hao Qiang 75 minutes ago.
But in the last 15 minutes, he made himself shine again with a pass and a shot, and at the same time snatched 1 point for Manchester City in the away game!
To be honest, West Ham United deserved the victory more.
But this is football, it only takes a short time for Manchester City's superstar to change everything!"
Manchester City is also planning to stage a shocking comeback.
But West Ham United have gone from frustrated to furious.
Continuous fouls in midfield drained the game time.
Manchester City's final blow was completed by Aguero.
Unfortunately, a shot missed. Aguero struggled, and then apologized to Hao Qiang, who helped him with the ball.
West Ham United 2:2 Manchester City.
At the end of the game, Pellegrini was still feeling rattled.
Almost capsized in the ditch of the away stadium.
The price for Manchester City's fight to finish first in the Champions League group is to lose points in the league.
In the age of the global village, who doesn’t know what the weather is like in Eastern Europe? Britain, which is located in Western Europe, is exactly halfway between the two poles of Europe.
If it is only guaranteed to advance to the Champions League, Pellegrini can just stick to one point with a rotating lineup.
But if he wants to compete for 3 points, he must bring all the main players.
This time and again, it almost hurts my vitality.
Facing the media after the game, Pellegrini sighed: "I don't know where we would be in the standings without Hao Qiang. I feel lucky to be able to take away 1 point from the away game.
To be honest, West Ham United deserved the victory more, but Hao Qiang grabbed a precious point for us.
Sometimes I feel that it is his responsibility, but every time he comes forward, it is extremely touching and exciting."
Manchester City's near-disaster performance can take away 1 point.
No one would think that Pellegrini was belittling Manchester City, because throughout the game, except for the chaos in the last 10 minutes, West Ham United performed better than Manchester City at any other time.
What made Pellegrini call it a fluke was Chelsea's 1:1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Among the Premier League teams that played in the Champions League in midweek, only Arsenal won away from home.
Manchester City's main players have a chance to rotate.
In the League Cup match in midweek, Pellegrini made a rotation.
The main force rests and recuperates.
Not for anything else, just to be in better shape to face Manchester United at home on the weekend!
League Cup knockout rounds.
Manchester City plays Newcastle United at home.
A group of substitutes eager to prove themselves through performance.
The result was a disaster at the Etihad that was unacceptable to fans.
Manchester City lost to Newcastle United 0:2 at home!
The defending League Cup champions were eliminated.
Pellegrini actually didn't care about the result.
But the performance of some players on the team made him very dissatisfied.
Dzeko worked very hard, Jovetic was very pushy.
Nasri also couldn't see any eye-catching moves for a long time.
It’s time for some of the first-team substitute players to move away!
This is also a necessary measure for the team to refresh and maintain a virtuous cycle of competitive pressure.
When Jovetic isn't competitive, he doesn't put pressure on anyone.
Then it also means that the main players with similar roles in the same position will not generate motivation from internal competition.
Nasri agrees.
Dzeko is still used more frequently as a substitute.
Even if the data is not good-looking, the tactical effect is still obvious.
Manchester City's exit from the League Cup was not ruined by Fleet Street.
Manchester City's ambitions are to defend the league title and the Champions League.
They have indeed invested more in the Champions League.
We don't say one thing and do another. Our ideals and actions are completely different.
So Fleet Street can't fault Manchester City.
Holding on and chasing and striking is just beating the air.
So they turned around and said that being eliminated from the League Cup was a waste for Manchester City.
Last season, they won the local treble, but the League Cup is indeed tasteless for Manchester City now, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Entering November.
The autumn wind rustles.
The much-anticipated Manchester Derby is coming as scheduled.
Manchester City is ready for action at home.
The Red Devils, Manchester United, who had only won three games in the first nine rounds of the league, came to the Etihad Stadium under tremendous pressure.
Manchester United fans are starting to look up a little bit now!
When Manchester City won the Premier League title for the first time, although the Red Devils fans realized that Manchester City's rise was unstoppable, they still firmly believed that Manchester United would suppress Manchester City.
But after Ferguson retired, from last season to this season, Manchester United's team record trend from Moyes to Van Gaal did not curb the downward trend at all!
Now Manchester United is almost a mid-to-upper-tier team in the Premier League, similar to Tottenham in the past, competing for fourth place!
Once upon a time, no matter how bad big4 performed, it was still guaranteed to be in the top four.
But Manchester United fell directly out of the guaranteed fourth place.
But Manchester City's level is very stable and stays in the championship echelon!
