Chapter 851 Ye Lang is arrogant
Manchester City defeated Manchester United [-]-[-]. Although Manchester City was very happy, there was no time to remember the victory too much, because the team had to go to the away game to challenge Aris in Greece.
Although before, the Greek team threatened to maintain a 40-year unbeaten record at home, so that Manchester City would have no return, and the Greek media were also building momentum to hype Aris' unbeaten record at home in European wars, but Manchester City still did not intend to use their main force.
The distance is too far.
Traveling back and forth for more than 2000 kilometers, the plane takes several hours, and the players have to rush back after the game, which consumes too much for the players.
Therefore, the strategy developed by Guardiola and the coaching staff is to try to win away games, but the real duel is still at home.
Needless to say, Manchester City will travel long distances. Isn't Aris going to travel long distances in the second round?
Su Dong, Pepe, Marcelo and David Silva all did not go to the away game, but concentrated on staying in Manchester to adjust their status and prepare for the next round of the Premier League.
On the night of the game, Su Dong organized a dinner in his manor, and they all came.
……
The strength of the Greek team is actually not weak. For example, Olympiacos, the overall strength is definitely not as good as the four major leagues.
Manchester City players can clearly feel a kind of fatigue.
The consumption of the long journey is really fatal to the visiting team.
After the opening game, Manchester City was at a disadvantage in terms of initiative. Aris used the home court advantage to launch several threatening attacks, but Manchester City's players were not excited enough.
After ten minutes of adjustments, first Gareth Barry missed the opportunity to score with a header, and then Dzeko also failed to seize a shot opportunity from the front of the small penalty area, which disappointed Manchester City.
"The fans of the home team used laser pointers in the stands." The sharp-eyed Toni Kroos saw the clue.
Sure enough, Manchester City's players protested on the field, and Dzeko and others all pointed to the stands.
The TV commentators also started mentioning laser pointers, and apparently Toni Cross was right.
Of course, the laser pointer is only a part of the factor, and the sluggish state of Manchester City's players is the key.
"We still have to break the deadlock as soon as possible," Su Dong said.
No goal, no amount of possession.
Moreover, Manchester City is playing away, and the game will drag on, which is not good for Manchester City.
Not to mention anything else, with the state and physical condition of the Manchester City players, I am afraid they will perform worse in the second half.
The Manchester City players far away in Greece seemed to know this well, so they began to actively try to organize the offense.
The three midfielders composed of Moutinho, Thiago and Gareth Barry are still very good, firmly controlling the ball, and constantly organizing and planning offensive opportunities.
At this point, it is difficult for the Greek team to shake Manchester City.
But just when Manchester City pressed hard and frequently scored into Aris' penalty area, and when they were about to create a goal, Manchester City made a very amateur mistake on their side.
This was a long pass from Aris' counterattack, which was directly sent to Manchester City's big penalty area.
Joe Hart fumbled the goal and, without being threatened, picked the ball out of the air inside the big box line.
Up to this point, there is no problem, Joe Hart's performance is very normal.
The key is next.
Joe Hart wanted to kick off the ball with a big kick, and signaled the players in the frontcourt to press up, so he held the ball with one hand and kept waving it with the other hand, but he didn't know the reason. It might be that he swung his arm too hard, causing the ball in the other hand to drop.
The reaction of England's national goalkeeper was also very fast. As soon as the ball fell, after it bounced off the ground, he bent down and picked it up.
But Aris' forward protested on the spot, thinking that the ball had crossed the line and belonged to handball outside the penalty area.
This sudden change surprised everyone, including Su Dong and others who were sitting in front of the TV.
What kind of showmanship is Joe Hart?
How could it still be like this?
The referee whistled decisively and ran towards Joe Hart, while the Greek players chased him, protesting non-stop.
Especially the striker of Aris, it is estimated that he should be saying that if Joe Hart does not handball, he is very close, and it is entirely possible to steal the ball and score a goal.
"This is troublesome!" Pepe shook her head and sighed.
As a famous reckless man on the court, Pepe is actually a man who wanders on the foul line, and he has a very clear grasp of the referee's psychology and the situation on the court.
Joe Hart's foul at this time was really terrible, and it was still on the road.
"This mistake is really incomprehensible. He seems to be making more and more strange mistakes like this." David Silva found it difficult to understand.
As far as Joe Hart's strength is concerned, there is no doubt about it. How can someone who can become England's national team have poor strength?
Sometimes he can also show a super level, but sometimes, he will make you a lot of inexplicable mistakes.
Just like this time, who would have thought how he got rid of it?
Sure enough, the referee raised a red card towards Joe Hart and directly sent off the Manchester City goalkeeper.
The wild cheers of the Greek fans in the stands were clearly heard on the TV.
Judging from the slow-motion playback, Joe Hart's ball did fall outside the penalty area. The foul is definitely a foul, which is the difference between a red card and a yellow card. The referee obviously accepted the protest of the Aris players, thinking that if they did not hand the ball, they are likely to grab the goal.
In front of the TV, Su Dong and others were silent.
They are not willing to talk about Joe Hart's mistakes at this time. After all, they are teammates who fought side by side, but such mistakes really hurt morale and made the team lose one person.
Sometimes England's players are really interesting.
So is Micah Richards, so is Joe Hart.
……
With Joe Hart sent off, Aris's direct free-kick from the front of the box failed to break City's goal.
Shay came on as a substitute, and then Manchester City also stabilized their position and began to play more securely.
Aris' strength is limited, and he has never been able to break through Manchester City's goal. Manchester City has one less player than their opponents, and they have not been able to create much threat.
In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a peace.
Manchester City didn't even have as many shots as Aris.
"Okay, this time the Greeks are making fun of them again!" Marcelo said angrily.
Unbeaten at home in the European War for 40 years, how big is this?
Looking around the world, which wealthy family can do it?
Possible to refute?
Can not be done!
Because Manchester City can't break through Aris' home court.
Manchester City can beat Arsenal [-]-[-] at the Emirates Stadium, and beat Manchester United [-]-[-] at Old Trafford, but there is nothing they can do about Aris in Greece. What can you say?
There is really nothing to say except for Aris's pen and Greek's pen.
"Nothing to say, go back to the home court and teach them a lesson!" Su Dong said lightly.
Everyone also felt helpless.
Without Joe Hart's red card, Manchester City could have beaten their opponents away, but now...
"If you look at it this way, they have installed this pen for 40 years, and they should continue to install it." Pepe laughed.
Everyone is also happy.
Back at home, Manchester City can't kill Aris?
…………
…………
Joe Hart's red card caused fierce controversy after the game, but Guardiola took the initiative to defend Joe Hart, thinking that everyone should not blame his mistakes.
"Actually, apart from the red card, he was doing well most of the time."
As the captain of the team, Su Dong was duty-bound at this time. He immediately contacted a reporter from The Times and expressed his support for Joe Hart, expressing that the Manchester City dressing room still trusts Joe Hart.
"Every player makes mistakes, Joe Hart is still a teammate worthy of our trust!"
Other Manchester City players also came forward to support Joe Hart.
Now is the critical moment for Manchester City to hit the championship. In any case, the team cannot have civil strife at this time.
More importantly, there are currently only two goalkeepers in Manchester City. Shay is old. If Joe Hart has another problem, who will Manchester City rely on to keep the goal next?
Therefore, at this time, Manchester City can only support Joe Hart no matter what.
……
After the team returned to Manchester from Greece, they soon ushered in the Premier League's No.20 eighth-round opponent at home, Fulham led by Mark Hughes.
Due to the Europa League, Manchester City still rotated the lineup, but Joe Hart, who received a red card in the Europa League in the middle of the week, still started, and the team was also No. 205 minutes. Su Dong shot through Fulham's goal with a super long shot from 25 meters away, opening the scoring for Manchester City.
Just 3 minutes later, Toni Kroos made a long-distance diagonal pass from the right to the left side of the penalty area. Di Maria made a pass from the bottom line, and Marcelo followed up with a left-footed volley, making another victory for Manchester City, [-]-[-].
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Fulham played a threatening attack in just 2 minutes. You Dawei lobbed the ball over the head of Joe Hart, who was attacking, and broke Manchester City's goal.
One to two!
After that, the two teams had offense and defense against each other, but in the end Manchester City defeated Fulham [-]-[-] at home.
……
After playing Fulham, Manchester City began to prepare for the second round of the third knockout round of the Europa League.
After the 40-[-] away draw with Aris in the first round, the Greek media really hyped Aris' [-]-year unbeaten home game in European wars. Some media even threatened to capture Manchester City's Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
Of course, no one will take such Yelang's arrogant remarks seriously.
However, Manchester City is really a little angry up and down.
Especially after Joe Hart's red card, Aris really forced Manchester City into a panic.
According to what Su Dong said in the locker room, if Aris cannot be taught a hard lesson at home, wouldn't other teams treat Manchester City as a persimmon?
Doesn't the so-called strong team mean revenge?
"So, against Aris at home, if we can't win the opponent by a big score, then we have no place to put our face!"
Su Dong's encouragement also received positive responses from his teammates.
