Chapter 69, Hidden Dangers

For the current game, although Scholes praised Jones, Jintag said with some concern: "I only have one wish now, that Jones must not take the card. His actions are so big, once If you get a yellow card, then it will be difficult to handle the position of the midfielder..."

I don't know if Jin Taige has some crows, but Jones got a yellow card immediately after he said this within two minutes.

This was in the 43rd minute of the game. The first half of the game was about to end. Manchester City took advantage of the last chance to attack forward. Nasri, Aguero and Navas played their speed and technical advantages, and shot the ball in a row. Guero received the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area. He saw that Negredo in the penalty area was closely watched by two Manchester United centre-backs, so he thought of kicking himself. Aguero kicked and was about to shoot when Jones arrived. Together with the ball and people, he shoveled Aguero to the ground.

"Jones took down Aguero! It's a penalty!" Raman shouted in the Sky TV studio. "Jones is about to get a 'penalty and red card' package."

At this time, the Manchester United fans who were watching the game in the red bar shouted: "Shit! This is not a foul at all! Jones shovels beautifully!"

And the fans at the scene were also boiling. The Manchester United fans away thought it was a good goal, while the Manchester City fans at home booed again and again. The boos were all for Jones. They thought it was definitely a malicious foul in the penalty area. .

"The referee whistled for a foul. He ran to the site of the incident and showed Jones a yellow card, but fortunately the foul took place outside the penalty area. It wasn't a penalty kick. It was a false alarm." Commentator Morris had lingering fears.

At this time, Manchester City's players surrounded the referee and were a little dissatisfied with the referee's penalty. They believed that Jones' foul was so bad that he should show a red card and send it off directly. And Aguero has been complaining to the referee, stating that the foul of the ball just now was within the penalty area line and a penalty kick should be awarded.

The referee dismissed the Manchester City players who came to ask for an explanation and upheld the original judgment.

At this time, Ferdinand stepped forward and said to Jones: "Phil, it was really hanging just now."

Jones was also a little scared: "But if I don't put my foot down, Aguero's shooting position is too threatening. No way, I can only tackle from the side."

The penalty player for this free kick is Nasri. His free kick is one of the best in the Manchester City team. He kicked a free kick. The ball bypassed the wall and slipped out against the outside of the goalpost. A cold sweat broke out.

The first half of the game ended in such a hot atmosphere. The two teams did not achieve anything except for a few yellow cards. They each returned to the locker room and waited for the coach's deployment and arrangement for the second half.

In the home team's locker room, Pellegrini was instructing his players that his temperament was somewhat similar to Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, and he looked very refined. Because Pellegrini has a certificate in civil engineering, he is nicknamed "the engineer" by many fans. He has coached many South American teams and three La Liga teams of Villarreal, Real Madrid and Málaga, and all of them have achieved good results, especially during the coaching of Malaga, it is only It took more than a year to lead this small La Liga team to the Champions League.

The Manchester City club also saw Pellegrini's control over the team, the integration of new players and the vigorous training of young players before poaching him from Malaga.

Now he is in Manchester City's dressing room, arranging tactics with his players: "Manchester United's attacking power is obviously insufficient in this game. Today, their biggest advantage is on the defensive end. Their two full-backs have average attacking ability, but both There is a strong defensive ability, so it is difficult for us to penetrate Manchester United’s defense from the wing. In this way, we have to make a fuss in the middle in the second half.”

"Nasri, Aguero, Navas,

"Pellegrini said to the three people, "The three of you have strong individual combat capabilities. In the second half, you let go of your hands and feet and slammed into Manchester United's penalty area! Although Manchester United's two central defenders have strong defensive ability and strong air defense, their weakness is their slow turnaround. So you take advantage of your speed and technique and continue to hit Manchester United's box. "

"Okay, I understand." All three nodded in agreement.

Pellegrini warned the three again: "Their defensive midfielder is very strong, which has caused you a lot of difficulties. I hope you will continue to break through from his point in the second half, understand?"

Navas was stunned: "Manchester United's midfielder is in excellent condition today. Are we really going to force his defensive area?"

Pellegrini nodded: "Although he is powerful, don't forget, he already has a yellow card on him. If you can find a way to get him off, we will win the game."

When Nasri heard this, he immediately became excited: "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely find a chance to get him down!"

Aguero looked at Nasri next to him. This guy is known as a "bad boy". Looking at his current smile, he didn't know what bad idea he was thinking about. , it's really a distressing thing...

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Jin Taige is also arranging tactics with his players: "Manchester City attacked very fiercely in this game, our defenders did a good job, and the help on the left and right sides was also good, We're going to step up our offense in the second half. Robin, I think your stamina has dropped a lot."

Van Persie wiped his sweat and said: "The competition has been relatively intensive recently, so my physical strength is a bit overdrawn."

Jin Taige thought for a while: "Well, you take a break in the second half, and I'll replace Icardi. Icardi's ability to grab points and sense of position are good, and Ashley Young and Valencia can be more appropriate by then. In the cross, look for Icardi's point."

After Jin Taige finished the team's offense, he turned his attention to Jones: "Phil, you are in good shape today, you can be a little too excited. Your position is very important. Once they break through from you, they will directly Against the two centre-backs and the direction of the goal, it will be dangerous, so I ask you to continue to press the Manchester City attacking combination in the second half, not to let them have the ball comfortably."

Phil Jones waved his fist: "Boss, don't worry, as long as I'm on the court, I'll never let Manchester City players break through in front of me!"

Jin Taige was stunned when he heard this: "As long as you are on the court? I feel a little flustered when I hear this..."
