i want to be king

Chapter 956 Guardiola is irritated!

On a weekend night, moderate rain.

Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

On this rainy night in Manchester, the Manchester derby in the FA Cup knockout round undoubtedly has a special meaning.

Although Manchester City has carried out a large rotation, even Su Dong is sitting on the bench, but the overall strength is still very good, and the team is in good condition. From the very beginning of the game, they showed the momentum to kill Manchester United.

In front of Manchester City, the Red Devils no longer have the spirit of the Premier League king.

Ferguson's team fell into a passive position at the beginning of the game, but they still defended very tenaciously.

What encouraged many Manchester United fans even more was that Scholes, who had been absent for a long time, sat on Manchester United's bench again.

This was the day before the game. Manchester United suddenly announced Scholes' comeback. Ferguson immediately put him in the squad against Manchester City, which shows how urgent Scholes's desire is.

The rainy day itself has limited Manchester City's passing and possession style of play, but tonight, Manchester City's enemy is not only the ghost weather, not only the opposite Manchester United, but also the referee Chris Foy.

The 50-year-old Foy is a very experienced referee, but he has begun to be unable to keep up with the rhythm and pace of the Premier League.

Especially this season, he has frequently made serious law enforcement mistakes.

For example, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost [-]-[-] away to Queens Park Rangers.

Why did you lose?
Because in the first half of the game, Chris Foy sent off two players, Bosingwa and Drogba, and gave Queens Park Rangers a penalty, which helped Queens Park Rangers beat Chelsea.

Not long ago, in the No.15 round of the Premier League, Stoke City played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Chris Foy ignored the home team's two handball fouls in the penalty area, center back Shawcross' hugging, and Woodgate's various fouls during the game, but he just blew off Tottenham Hotspur center Adebayor's goal and helped Stoke City "nearly" beat Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-], ending Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record.

These two games made Chris Foy a target of public criticism. The Premier League teams and the media have questioned his law enforcement ability, thinking that at the age of 50, he has begun to make mistakes and omissions, and he has obviously failed to meet the requirements of the Premier League.

But this time, the FA still arranged for Chris Foy to officiate the Manchester derby in the FA Cup.

Before the game, Ferguson jokingly said that he did not want Chris Foy to favor the home team's poor enforcement in the two times before this season, but hoped that he could balance the game situation more fairly.

But I don't know if Chris Foy misunderstood what Ferguson meant, or if he felt that Manchester City was too strong this season, and Foy wanted to cause a little trouble for Manchester City.

So less than 10 minutes into the first half, Kompany, the Manchester City central defender wearing the captain's armband, failed to tackle Nani for the first time, but managed to tackle the ball for the second time.

But Chris Foy didn't think so, he ran over and called Kompany for a foul, a penalty, and a red card!
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
Nima, what kind of show operation is this?

Su Dong was sitting on the bench. When he saw this scene, he stood up and watched everything that happened on the field in disbelief. Even he was so far away and felt that this was not a foul. Why did the referee give the red card and add a penalty?
Turning his head, Su Dong looked at Ferguson in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, and found that the godfather of Manchester United also looked confused.

Ma Dan, how much did you give him?Let him work so hard for you?Even at the risk of betting on his life honor and future?
Su Dong's eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

Ferguson shook his head with a wry smile, as if to say: I said no, you certainly wouldn’t believe it.

I believe you are stupid!
Su Dong turned his head angrily and walked back to the bench.

……

Red card plus penalty, the final result needless to say, Kompany was sent off, Rooney scored a penalty.

But this is just the beginning.

Manchester City encountered such a blow at the beginning of the game, and the team immediately fell into chaos, acting a little leaderless on the court.

Although the team still has an advantage in passing and possession, Manchester United's counterattack is also impressive.

In the No.30 minute, Evra's cross from the left hit Hazard's leg. Welbeck made a kick near the penalty spot and scored another goal for Manchester United, [-]-[-].

Ten minutes later, Welbeck broke into the penalty area with the ball again, and after being tripped by Leighton Bynes, the referee Chris Foy awarded another penalty. Rooney made another calm penalty, 10-[-].

Now the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium don't do it!
Nima, how much did you charge Manchester United?

One red card, two penalties, you might as well just hand over the promotion right to Manchester United, saving us from having to spend another game.

Even when Rooney scored a penalty kick, there was a burst of warm applause, full of irony.

Every time Chris Foy blew the whistle afterwards, regardless of whether it was in City's favor or not, he was booed overwhelmingly.

……

Before the end of the first half, assistant coach Torrent had already walked to the bench and told Su Dong and Pepe to prepare and replace them during the intermission.

The two buddies looked at each other, stood up helplessly, and ran out to warm up.

At this time, if they are replaced, the answer is self-evident, in fact, they still want to attack.

Pepe's role is to stabilize the defense, and Su Dong has only one role, and that is to score goals.

Three goals behind, has not given up, it seems that Guardiola is also irritated.

……

"In the second half, our tactics were very simple, possession, organization, goals!"

Guardiola removed the two wingers and put Sudong and Aguero as the double forwards. At the same time, he also let Pepe go up and David Luiz as the central defender. The captain's armband was put back on Sudong's arm.

"Everyone, what I want to say is that we are behind zero to three. So far this season, we have never been in such a mess. Even since last season, we have not encountered such a defeat."

"If the opponent relies on strength to break our goal on the pitch, then I will accept such a goal. But now, our opponent is relying on the relationship of the referee, through two penalty kicks and a red card, to gain such a lead. I cannot accept it!"

Guardiola has always been a polite look, rarely like this, like an enraged lion.

Of course, he has reason to interfere and be ashamed, because no one can accept such a way of conceding the ball.

"In the second half, we will not be conservative, we want to score goals, keep scoring goals, we equalize the score, or even reverse it."

"They want to take away the promotion right from us, but we won't give it!"

In the end, the way Guardiola gritted his teeth was really different from the past, but it also stimulated the players.

Su Dong took the lead in standing up to support Guardiola.

"It's not like we don't have such experience in scoring three goals in halftime. I believe that even if there is one player less than the opponent, we can still control the game and kill the opponent."

"This is our home court. We just want to show an indomitable momentum. We want to tell Manchester United and the whole world that even if one of our players is sent off, even if we have one player less than the opponent for a long time, we can still suppress the opponent and defeat the opponent's defense."

"We can definitely do it!"

Su Dong shouted loudly, and got the response and support of his teammates.

…………

…………

Before the second half of the game started, the Manchester United players noticed something was wrong.

Su Dong actually played!
Is this risking your life?

One person is missing, and Su Dong is still on the scene. Is this a counterattack?

When Ferguson saw him on the sidelines, he also had a heartbreak. He looked at Guardiola in front of the coach's bench of the home team, clearly showing admiration, worry and other complex emotions.

The shadow Su Dong cast on him was too great.

But what made Ferguson even more unexpected was that after only a minute or so of play in the second half, even Manchester United hadn't touched the ball a few times. David Silva went forward to the left side of the front of the penalty area.

Su Dong stood on the penalty spot without hesitation, set up the ball, and slowly backed away, watching Manchester United set up a wall in the penalty area, he really wanted to go up and tell them, stop it, it's useless.

In these years, he no longer knows how many free kicks like this. In this position, his hit rate is the highest.

David Silva knows this, so just now in the left corner of the penalty area, he did not fall to the ground, and he fell directly to this area, earning Manchester City a valuable free kick opportunity.

After the human wall was set up, Su Dong looked at the referee Chris Foy.

Anyway, regardless of whether he received money from Manchester United or whether he wanted to help Manchester United win, everyone in Manchester City regarded him as having it.

After Chris Foy blew his whistle, Su Dong quickly ran forward.

Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was seen flying out quickly, passing over the head of the wall, hanging directly on the upper side of the near corner of the goal, almost rubbing the crossbar into the net.

Goalkeeper Lindegard looked confused.

He never thought that Su Dong's free kick would come so fast, so decisive, and so powerless for him.

Thunderous cheers and applause erupted throughout the Etihad Stadium, and all Manchester City fans were chanting Su Dong's name.

After Su Dong scored a free kick, he didn't run to the sidelines to celebrate, but rushed straight to Manchester United's goal. Before everyone could react, he picked up the football from the goal line, turned around and quickly ran to the center circle. After placing the ball at the center point, he ran out of the center circle again.

At this time, everyone in Manchester City had already returned to their positions, set up their positions, and looked like they were facing a big enemy, waiting for Manchester United to come and kick off.

At this moment, this scene not only made all the fans on the scene exclaim, but also surprised Ferguson on the sidelines.

Today's Manchester City is no longer the mercenary army created back then, but an iron army closely surrounding Su Dong, with good cohesion and terrifying combat effectiveness!
