Chapter 807 Who says ten people can’t win?
“It’s hard to describe the referees in the Premier League!”
In the presidential stand, Soriano and Begiristain were watching the game with Mansour and Mubarak.
They watched Manchester City break through Arsenal's goal in 45 seconds, watched Micah Richards be sent off with a red card for a completely unnecessary foul, and watched Nasri score after a beautiful frontcourt pass.
Similarly, they also felt the emotional changes from Manchester City fans in the stands.
Most of them were silent.
Just like the silent majority in real life, when they are wronged or encounter troubles, they endure it silently.
Without Mansour's investment, Manchester City would actually be a very ordinary team in the Premier League, with no stars, no heritage, and even a rented stadium, struggling to avoid relegation every season.
What is the temperament of a strong team and the foundation of a wealthy family? When things are going well, they should not be arrogant or impatient; when things are going against them, they should not be discouraged or discouraged.
Even someone like Rooney, after renewing his contract with Manchester United, dared to say in the media that we are not afraid of how far behind we are now, because we are used to counterattacking in the second half.
This is true for the players and the fans as well.
No matter how many goals you score against Liverpool at Anfield, they will continue to cheer for the team.
Instead of cheering when you win and being depressed and desperate when you lose.
This statement may be an exaggeration, but in fact, fans also need to be educated and shaped.
They are like the inheritance of a team's culture and the embodiment of its temperament.
From the time the Abu Dhabi consortium injected capital to now, in just two years, it is difficult to shape Manchester City's heritage and temperament.
The players on the field were also demoralized.
This is not surprising, because Manchester City has been recruiting too much in the past two or three years and has been reorganizing every season, resulting in a lack of cohesion among the players. A team without cohesion will always fall apart once it gets into trouble.
This is a war! If you don't have a unified mindset and a coordinated pace, you will be slaughtered on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, this is the situation of Manchester City today, and they are even a fat lamb.
Top of the league.
If Manchester City is really defeated by Arsenal, it will be a laughing stock to the whole world.
It might even ruin all prospects for this season.
After all, once the breath is let out, it will be difficult to pick it up again.
Because he understood this deeply, Begiristain didn't even have the heart to speak, and Soriano was also silent.
Both of them understand football, so they naturally understand that if Manchester City suffers a crushing defeat in this battle, this season will be completely over.
"Su Dong always brings surprises. Look, he is still running."
Following Mansour's gesture, everyone looked inside the field and found that Su Dong was indeed still running.
Run to Giroud, run to Squillaci, run to Sagna, run to Alexandre Song, run to Fabregas...
He was like an ant trapped in a hot pot, running non-stop and unable to stop for a moment.
…………
…………
"We saw that Manchester City's players lacked some fighting spirit, but Su Dong was still actively pressing in the frontcourt."
"He was still constantly calling on his teammates and constantly boosting the team's morale."
Sky TV's live broadcast gave Su Dong a close-up.
After playing for half an hour, he was already sweating profusely, but every time he stopped, he would reach out to adjust the captain's armband on his left arm and continue running.
Wang Chuqing had something to do at school this weekend and couldn't go to Manchester to watch the game, so she could only watch the live broadcast of the game in her rented house.
But she never expected that something like this would happen.
She even suspected that it was because she didn't show up that Su Dong lost his luck. "You are my goddess. Every time you show up, I will be very lucky!"
These were the sweet words the two said while hiding in bed, but at this moment, Wang Chuqing felt that they were true.
Watching Su Dong running without sparing his energy on TV, she felt extremely ashamed and guilty.
But she could do nothing but pray for him silently in her heart.
"Arsenal still controlled the initiative. Manchester City's ability to control the ball was indeed very strong. Even with one man less, they were still able to fight Arsenal on equal terms."
"The problem is that Manchester City's players are lacking in fighting spirit and have put little effort into attacking. There are only two players, Sudon and Sanchez, but this is far from enough."
"Of course, we can understand that. After all, Manchester City is one man short. It is difficult for them to attack now. However, if we can put some pressure on Arsenal on the offensive end, I believe their defensive pressure will be much less."
"There's still an hour left before the game. Manchester City can't keep defending like this, right?"
“No matter how strong and hard-working Su Dong is, he still needs the support of his teammates!”
…………
…………
When he was returning to the left side of his own 30-meter area, Su Dong fell to the ground and tackled Sagna, knocking him and the ball to the sidelines, and he himself fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Su Dong got up from the ground, yelled angrily at his teammates on the field, ignored Clattenburg's yellow card, and left.
This tragic scene was captured by the live camera, and the live commentator at the Etihad Stadium was quite moved.
"So far, Su Dong has run the most distance among all the players of the two teams, a full kilometer more than the second place. What a terrible number!"
"From these warm figures, we can see Su Dong's unremitting fighting spirit."
"He was screaming angrily. He hoped that all the Manchester City players would join him and fight together!"
"Even if there are only ten of us, who says we can't win?"
"At this time, our Manchester City fans, with our cheers, our applause, and our passion, reignite the game and support our heroes!"
The commentator's incitement caused a loud shouting from the audience.
Sodong!
Manchester City fans started to cheer.
Arsenal once again tried to break into Manchester City's defense. Nasri tried to break through the middle, but Pepe suddenly rushed up, knocked Nasri over with his body, and stole the ball.
The Portuguese center back also roared towards the front court.
"Everyone, fight! Are you just going to watch him fight alone?" Pepe shouted.
No matter when and under any circumstances, Pepe will always firmly support Su Dong!
It started back in the days in Madeira.
David Silva, Toni Kroos, Marcelo and others were also encouraged and started running actively.
When the game reached the 33rd minute, Toni Kroos pressed Alexander Song in the middle, forcing the Arsenal midfielder to pass the ball to Sagna.
David Silva also approached Sagna at the first opportunity, forcing him to pass the ball back to the central defender.
Sagna's hasty pass back was a little vague and just passed in front of Squillaci.
This caused a misunderstanding among Arsenal's two central defenders. Squillaci thought he was going to pass the ball to Djokovic, but Djokovic thought Squillaci would take a few steps forward to receive the ball. Both of them misjudged their teammate's intentions.
Su Dong originally planned to force Alexander Song, but after the ball was transferred, he ran to the middle of Squillaci and Giroud as soon as possible, only to find that the ball passed in front of Squillaci, and the Arsenal center back did not step forward to receive it, but wanted to give it to Giroud.
But the ball speed slowed down!
Almost in a flash, Su Dong suddenly sprinted forward at the fastest speed and chased directly after the ball.
Squillaci and Giroud also realized the danger. They reacted at the same time and chased after the football together.
Three players rushed towards the football at the same time from different directions.
Su Dong is tall and has long legs, and is also faster, so he took the lead and poked the ball.
The ball was poked forward, and his speed did not slow down at all, he rushed forward directly.
Squillaci and Djuric attacked from both sides at the same time, trying to trap Su Dong.
As long as Su Dong is trapped, goalkeeper Fabianski can leave the goal and destroy the ball.
But Su Dong is 1.95 meters tall, strong and sturdy, and very fast. When he charges, he is like a heavy tank. Who can stop him?
Not to mention Squillaci and Giroud, even Arsenal center-back Senderos, who was known for his physical strength at the time, was knocked out by Su Dong.
Now, after Su Dong increased his speed, he showed no intention of slowing down. He ran directly between two Arsenal central defenders and used his strong body to break through the defense of the two central defenders.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted, they saw Su Dong had passed through the defense of two players and chased after the ball.
Fabianski had already left the goal and was halfway there when he found that Su Dong had broken through the double-team of two central defenders and was running towards the football at a very fast speed, not inferior to Walcott at all. This surprised him.
Su Dong's speed is definitely slightly slower than Walcott's, but the difference is so great that it is impossible to see the difference with the naked eye.
All everyone saw was that he broke through the defense of two central defenders, rushed to the front of Arsenal's penalty area, got ahead of Fabianski, kicked the ball, and just poked it past Fabianski who fell to the ground.
The ball rolled towards the penalty area behind him. After Su Dong avoided Fabianski, he started again and chased after him at the fastest speed.
The whole process was like a slow-motion movie, played frame by frame in front of the fans at the scene.
Finally, he caught up with the ball in the small penalty area and easily shot it into the empty goal.
But Su Dong couldn't stop his momentum and lost his balance and fell out of the court.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
The long sound of the goal was completely drowned out by the enthusiasm of the Manchester City fans at the scene.
All Manchester City fans rushed out of their seats frantically, looking at the stadium in disbelief, looking at the football in Arsenal's goal, and looking at Su Dong lying on the ground in front of the billboard outside the stadium.
Everyone let out a fierce cry.
Finally, the entire stadium erupted in shouts and cheers!
