Chapter 202 Reversal and Red Card!

When Lin Quan completed the steal, Manchester City's frontcourt players immediately launched an attack.

Aguero ran to the right side diagonally in front of Lin Quan, pulling the defensive formation of CSKA Moscow and taking away a defender at the same time.

Navas ran deep and held back the opponent's full-back, preventing him from moving forward to pressure Lin Quan.

Xavi Garcia served as a protection point behind Lin Quan. If the forward attack could not get through, he could at least pass the ball back to the midfield, allowing him to control the rhythm to avoid counterattack by the opponent.

After one or two months of adjustment, Manchester City's frontcourt offensive tactics have become very rich and reasonable.

But even so, there is still a defensive player next to Lin Quan.

Although in the first twenty minutes, Lin Quan did not show his potential and did not display the superb strength of a top star.

But the players of CSKA Moscow still did not dare to be careless, because the coach had specifically reminded them before the game not to give this guy any chance.

However, they only sent one person to defend Lin Quan, which was a bit disrespectful!

Without any fancy moves, Lin Quan easily defeated his opponent with a fried meatball that was almost at its peak.

Seeing his teammate being dribbled past, CSKA Moscow's central defender Ignashevich had to step forward to intercept Lin Quan. The opponent had already reached the penalty area line, and if he didn't step forward to intercept the opponent, he would give the opponent a chance to shoot from a long distance.

However, as soon as he went for the ball, the space behind him was immediately exposed.

Lin Quan decisively passed the ball to Aguero, then he shook off Ignashevich's entanglement and headed into the penalty area.

Aguero understood what he meant and made a straight pass, passing the ball behind the opponent's defender.

The two players cooperated very well, and Aguero's pass just happened to coincide with Lin Quan's running position.

With no one guarding him, Lin Quan received a pass from his teammate, and easily shot the ball into the goal.

The score became 1:1, and Manchester City quickly equalized the score.

"GOAL!!! In the 24th minute of the first half, Lin Quan helped Manchester City equalize the score!"

"This goal was purely the result of Lin Quan's personal strength. In the duel with Honda Keisuke, Lin Quan relied on his strong physical confrontation ability to steal the ball. Manchester City intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot. After two passes, the ball flew into the CSKA Moscow net. Manchester City's attack was smooth and concise!"

"Haha, Honda Keisuke probably didn't expect that Lin Quan's physical confrontation ability is so strong!"

"Yes, Lin Quan is much shorter than him and doesn't look like a strong player, but Honda Keisuke seems to have forgotten that Lin Quan is a super shooter who has proven himself in the Premier League.

If his physical confrontation ability is very poor, how could he score so many goals under the defense of those fierce defenders in the Premier League? "

"So, the Japanese really chose the wrong opponent this time!"

The two commentators' criticisms were relatively mild, but the fans were not at all merciful.

"Stupid Japanese, you really think you can challenge Lin Huang, don't you think about what level of player you are!"

"Lin Huang is a player who can eat up all the defenders in the Premier League. If this guy were to go to the Premier League, he would probably be kicked out by the defenders in less than three games!"

"This idiot, I get sick every time I see him dye his hair shit yellow!"

"Haha, this is the same skin as the colonel's military uniform, why not just call him Colonel!"

Fans don't like Keisuke Honda, not only because of his Japanese identity, but also because he likes to market and hype himself.

Moreover, the behavior of small-time players who say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs is also criticized.

Compared to the criticism from Chinese fans, in Japan, the Japanese fans who watched the game couldn't help but exclaimed! "Sikkoichi, Lin-san is so amazing!"

“Is this the level of the world’s top players?”

"It turns out that the yellow race's physical fighting ability is actually this strong. It seems that it's not the yellow race that is incapable, but us!"

"When will our country have a strong man like Lin Sang?"

The Japanese have a strong admiration for the strong. They will lick those who are stronger than them until you doubt your life! Including the previous matches with Shinji Kagawa in the Premier League, Atsuto Uchida in the Bundesliga, and this game with Keisuke Honda and other Japanese players, Lin Quan won all of them, and it was an overwhelming victory.

So the Japanese were completely convinced. When the Koreans were still verifying that Lin Quan had Korean ancestry, they had already begun to worship Lin Quan and even planned to set up a Japanese fan support association for Lin Quan...

…

After Manchester City equalized the score, the situation on the field changed a lot.

Manchester City, whose form has improved, has basically adapted to the pace of the game in such cold weather.

So, they began to gradually exert their strength and launched round after round of attacks on CSKA Moscow's goal.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Lin Quan broke through on the wing and cut inside to shoot.

The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, and Aguero followed up and appeared in front of the goal like a ghost, and gently pushed the ball into the goal.

Manchester City reversed the game 2:1.

Manchester City's offensive did not end in the 45th minute, the last minute of the first half.

Manchester City got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Lin Quan's falling leaf ball went straight into the dead corner. The goalkeeper was powerless and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

The score was changed to 3:1!

The opponent was completely in high spirits, scoring three goals in just over twenty minutes.

The hearts of the Moscow fans at the scene had already sank, and the loud singing had disappeared.

The voices that had been mocking Manchester City players disappeared, and they even forgot to boo them when the Manchester City players were celebrating wildly at their home stadium.

The fans of CSKA Moscow have been completely stunned!

In the second half, Manchester City continued their attack from the first half.

However, due to the opponent's tight defense, Manchester City failed to expand the score.

In the 65th minute, just as Pellegrini was preparing to make a substitution.

It started to rain lightly.

At first the rain was not heavy, but not long after, it gradually changed from light rain to moderate rain.

Although it is not winter yet, the temperature in Moscow at night is close to zero degrees Celsius.

If it rains at this temperature, it would be more uncomfortable than snowing.

What’s even worse is that there was wind at the scene!

The rain poured down on them, soaking their jerseys. When the cold wind blew, Manchester City players shivered with cold.

The thing they feared most before the game happened! In less than five minutes, the Manchester City players on the field could not stand the cold.

Especially the goalkeeper Hart, he kept jumping and jumping in front of the goal to warm up his body.

Don’t wait until your body freezes and you are unable to save the ball when someone shoots at you, otherwise you are doomed!

If it is before the game, you can apply to postpone the game.

But now, the time has come to half past nine in the evening.

Suspending the game at this time is likely to be delayed until late at night or even tomorrow.

Instead of that, it would be better to grit your teeth and play these last few dozen minutes. That way, the team will be less exhausted.

"Continue to change people?"

The assistant coach looked at Pellegrini and asked.

"Well, let Negredo go out and warm up and get ready to play!"

Pellegrini originally planned to replace three players at once, but now he doesn't dare to do so.

He was not sure whether the opponent would take advantage of the rain to launch a counterattack against Manchester City, so he did not dare to replace too many players at once.

If the opponent equalizes the game, it would be a huge loss for Manchester City.

The rainfall in Moscow in October is not low, so their players have encountered this situation more often.

Seeing Manchester City's players shivering from the cold, CSKA Moscow's morale immediately returned! "Haha, the opponent has been frozen into a fool!"

"This is a good time for us to launch a counterattack!"

"Go ahead and beat them, we want to reverse the situation, we want to get three points!"

The players' morale was boosted and they all became eager to try.

Manchester City players' form was not completely lost at this time and they were still able to resist the opponent's attack.

However, the field became slippery after the rain, and their bodies were frozen due to the rapid heat loss. They did not dare to make big moves, and their defensive capabilities declined significantly.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

In this situation, in order to stop the opponent's attack, they had to adopt defensive tactics.

In the 67th minute, Yaya Toure knocked down CSKA Moscow's midfielder Zuber and received a yellow card.

Five minutes later, Zabaleta pulled down the opponent's striker outside the penalty area and received a yellow card.

Not only was the number of fouls on Manchester City's side increasing, but as their body heat dissipated and they became fatigued from the intense game, many of their players began to suffer cramps.

In the 77th minute, Manchester City defender Kolarov fell to the ground in a fierce fight.

CSKA Moscow players ignored the injuries and continued to attack.

Negredo, who had just come on the field, rudely tackled Honda Keisuke who was attacking with the ball and knocked him to the ground. The Japanese player exaggeratedly rolled three and a half circles on the field holding his feet, and let out a miserable howl.

The opponent's player immediately rushed up and pushed Negredo hard, saying trash: "Boy, do you want to kill someone? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

"Come on, if I were afraid of you, I'd be your grandson!"

Negredo was not easily frightened and he waved his fist to hit the person who pushed him.

Manchester City players quickly grabbed him and prevented him from throwing the punch.

The foul he just committed should at least result in a yellow card. If he were to hit someone impulsively at this moment, he would definitely receive a red card and be sent off, and he might even face additional punishment after the game.

Negredo is an important substitute striker for Manchester City. If he is suspended, it will have a great impact on Manchester City.

Seeing that the two sides were about to engage in a fight, the referee rushed up and separated the players from both sides.

Then he took out the yellow card and awarded a yellow gem card to Negredo who committed a tackle and Wienblum who pushed the opponent respectively.

The two yellow cards calmed the players on both sides.

The players of CSKA Moscow suddenly realized that they were behind in the score and should seize the time to attack instead of wasting time in a conflict with the opponent.

The Manchester City players were happy to continue wasting time like this. As long as they could run out of time, they would win the game.

To this end, they first helped Kolarov relieve the symptoms of cramps, and then wasted a lot of time on the problem of forming a human wall when the opponent took the free kick.

By the time CSKA Moscow took the free kick, the game time was already 80 minutes!

There was really not much time left for them! The opponent's free kick failed to pose a threat, and Hart got the ball.

He took his time choosing the kick-off spot, and before the referee ran out of patience and showed him a yellow card, he deliberately kicked the ball forward, and it flew out of the sideline.

The players of CSKA Moscow rushed over and were about to throw the ball out of bounds, but the referee signaled Manchester City to make a substitution and asked them to wait.

On the sidelines, the fourth official had raised the substitution card, and Manchester City replaced the injured Kolarov with Clichy.

Kolarov slowly ran towards the sidelines. Although he was running, his speed was slower than the old lady's walking speed.

Seeing this scene, the players of CSKA Moscow almost got internal injuries! These guys from Manchester City have no shame at all!

Where is your reputation and face as a wealthy club? Do you still have the nerve to call yourself a wealthy club when you use such shameless tactics to delay the game? Manchester City fans said: Thank you for your kindness, we are not a wealthy club, we are just a nouveau riche.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and urged Kolarov to leave the field quickly, otherwise he would show him a yellow card to warn him.

After being warned by the referee, Kolarov reluctantly walked off the field and completed the substitution after high-fiving and hugging his teammates.

The referee signaled that the game should continue, and the CSKA Moscow players were finally able to throw the ball out of bounds.

However, as soon as the ball was thrown, it was intercepted from behind by a Manchester City player.

After the ball was intercepted, the Manchester City player kicked the ball towards the opponent's half. Negredo, who had just come on the field, was like a wild horse running towards the ball! At this time, he was the only one on the Manchester City side who had the physical strength to sprint so quickly!

The fans at the scene saw this scene and closed their eyes and dared not watch the result of this ball! If this ball went in, they would be completely doomed! According to Murphy's Law, the things you fear the most often happen.

Negredo did not disappoint the fans of CSKA Moscow. He seized the opportunity, calmly shot through the crotch in front of the goalkeeper, and scored the ball steadily.

The score became 4:1!

After scoring the goal, Negredo was so excited that he couldn't help but take off his clothes, ran to the visiting team's fans, and asked for applause from the Manchester City fans who had traveled with the team.

Manchester City fans were all excited and gave him the warmest applause.

However, as they were drumming, they realized that something seemed to be wrong.

The referee had a gloomy face, a yellow card in his hand, and was running towards Negredo.

"Could it be?"

“No way!”

"Does Negredo have a yellow card?"

“Ah, this!”

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium, the referee showed Negredo a yellow card, then took out a red card from his chest pocket and sent him off the field.

Less than 20 minutes had passed since Negredo came on the pitch.

This guy got two yellow cards and was sent off! Not only were Manchester City fans shocked, but the opposing fans were also a little confused.

What is going on?

Negredo had a sad face and desperately pleaded with the referee, but rules are rules. If you take off your jersey without permission on the field, you will definitely get a card.

Although one player was sent off, Manchester City's lead was too big.

Finally, the game was over.

Manchester City defeated CSKA Moscow away from home and won three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage!

This result can be said to be a very good situation for Manchester City!

In the next round's home game against CSKA Moscow, as long as Manchester City can beat their opponent, they can advance to the group stage two rounds in advance.

But if they want to qualify as the group leader, they have to win at least one of the remaining two games and ensure that their goal difference exceeds that of Bayern Munich.

Of course, if they defeat their opponent directly in the dialogue with Bayern at the Allianz Arena, they will undoubtedly get first place in the group!
