The Glory of the Godfather

The score in the first half of the game was 1-0, and Aston Villa in the away game led Manchester City 1-0.

Not long after the start of the second half, Mancini made a substitution. He replaced Dzeko and replaced Balotelli.

In the European Cup in the summer, although there was a stunned situation of thinking about life, Balotelli's overall performance in the European Cup was very good.

This can be seen from the value of Germany's transfer to Balotelli. Before the European Cup, Balotelli's worth was 28 million euros. After the European Cup, Balotelli's worth rose to 35 million euros.

As a compatriot, Mancini has always hated iron but not steel to Balotelli, and has repeatedly shown ambivalence.

He once put the Italian striker into the sidelines, saying I don't trust Balotelli, no one will believe him.

He also defended this problem youth more than once: If you work hard and understand the importance of your career, Balotelli will become the next Messi.

After shining in the European Cup, Mancini was full of praise for Balotelli and had high hopes: You will see a very, very, very good Balotelli in the new season.

In the first half of the game, the combination of Dzeko and Aguero was severely restricted.

Mancini chose to continue to trust Aguero.

But replaced Dzeko with his favorite Mario.

However, after the start of the second half of the game, Aston Villa, who had a one-goal lead, played ball possession and defensive counterattacks, which left Manchester City with no good options on the offensive end for a while.

Fang Jue arranged for Clement to take care of Balotelli.

Fang Jue was also a little apprehensive about this Bashen, who would have a brain twitch from time to time and put on stunning performances.

...

five minutes later.

Balotelli dribbled the ball and was shoveled to the ground by Clemente.

The referee signaled that there was no foul and it was a clean tackle.

The slow motion also shows that Clemente's tackle can be called a textbook. He first shoveled the football, and then brought Balotelli down.

However, Balotelli quit.

Bashen, who got up from the ground, shoveled Clement directly in the ensuing fight.

The referee showed Balotelli a red card without hesitation.

Although this action may not be enough for a red card, the nature of Balotelli's revenge is too obvious, and the referee will naturally not condone it.

Red card, did Balotelli know what he was doing? He got a red card for himself and went straight off.

Balotelli, who was sent off by a red card, was unwilling to leave the field, chattering in his mouth, and was finally pulled and dragged off by Kompany.

The camera gave a close-up of Mancini on the sidelines. The Italian coach's face was livid, and he didn't even look at Balotelli as he left the field.

Mancini has reason to be angry. He gave Balotelli chances again and again, but the result was always injured.

Mourinho once mentioned Balotelli in an interview. During the intermission of a game, he told Balotelli in the locker room for 14 minutes. Only 15 minutes. Mourinho repeatedly told Bashen not to be irritated by the opponent's provocation. Bashen listened carefully and seemed to understand what Mourinho meant. But just seven minutes into the second half, he got a red card and went off... ...

Fang Jue is also very dissatisfied with Balotelli's behavior, he is worried that Clemente will be injured.

Who is the most important player in this Aston Villa team?

Not Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Not Lewandowski.

Not Modric either.

It's Clement!

Fortunately, Clement was fine. He stood up and received simple treatment, then returned to the court and continued the game.

Balotelli was sent off with a red card, which directly disrupted Mancini's deployment, and at the same time dealt a big blow to Manchester City's morale.

Ten minutes later, Aston Villa got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Ibrahimovic's free kick flew over the wall and into the net.

The Swedish veteran rewritten the score to 2-0 and sealed the victory.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated Manchester City 2-0 away and advanced to the next round of the English League Cup.

...

Judging from the overall game, Aston Villa won relatively easily, which also made some media and fans doubt whether Manchester City can overthrow Aston Villa's hegemony this season.

However, Mancini refused to admit defeat after the game. He believed that the referee on duty was too harsh on Balotelli's red card.

The head referee should consider the balance of the game. Law enforcement is not just about playing cards. He should consider the enjoyment of the game.

A red card changed the course of the game.

Facing an opponent like Aston Villa, the disadvantage of one less person is irreparable in any case. Mancini complained.

Fang Jue scoffed at this, and he criticized Balotelli as a spoiled child.

In this case, if I were Manchester City coach, I would not protect Balotelli.

Mario is a genius, and a genius should do what a genius should do. He should use his talent on the court instead of making mistakes from time to time.

Fang Jue's remarks even won the approval of Manchester City fans.

Manchester media also criticized Mancini after the game.

A person familiar with the situation broke the news that in the locker room after the game, Mancini scolded Balotelli, but Balotelli did not speak, but just stared at Mancini, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

The British media collectively pointed the finger at the Manchester City coach, thinking that he was too doting on Balotelli.

The Guardian even made a constructive suggestion: loan Balotelli to Aston Villa.

Coach Fang Jue is good at adjusting problem teenagers. Looking at Bendtner's rebirth in Aston Villa, maybe Balotelli can be saved if he goes to Aston Villa.

Fang Jue directly declined: Our striker is enough, Balotelli is very good, but every one of our players is equally good.

Fang Jue ignored the noise from the media.

However, Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola also specifically called Fang Jue to ask about the possibility of Balotelli joining Aston Villa.

Fang Jue refused without the slightest hesitation.

Mom sells batches, what do you think I am? Problem correcting master for children?

Fang Jue also thought about it for a while, I really can't afford it, Bendtner has a personality problem, but it's not crazy, what is Balotelli?

Fireworks in your bathroom?

I set my house on fire, and the fire engines were dispatched.

Is this something normal people can do?

God?

sorry.

Really sorry.
