Chapter 121 Internal strife (fourth update, please vote for me)
"Hero——!" In the roar of the commentator, Chen Yingxiong jumped up high, nodded a lion in front of him and shook his head, and the football hit the net. church
"Manchester City only led for seven minutes before being equalized by Liverpool! The hero is amazing!"
"Mighty Liverpool! Photogenic Liverpool!"
"We were making a bet before about when Liverpool could equalize the score. Although they didn't equalize within five minutes, seven minutes was not long..."
"Mancini's face must be ugly now... He just made the decision to retract the defense. The whole team withdrew to their own 30-meter area and huddled up to defend... Unexpectedly, he still failed to hold on to this one-goal lead. Advantage!"
"Looking at it now, Mancini's decision is a big joke! He thought he could just defend in front of Liverpool? Wouldn't the consequences of defending be the same? If it was okay to defend, then his Manchester City team would not lose in the league. It’s the ball!”
While the commentators cheered for Chen Yingxiong's goal, they also scolded Mancini bloody.
Everyone was originally dissatisfied with his sudden retreat on defense, because this adjustment killed a wonderful offensive battle. Now seeing that his wishful thinking did not work out, a group of people immediately rejoiced and cheered - retribution! This is retribution! Let you cower and defend! Whoever prevents us from seeing a good game will have a difficult life!
At this time, a group of people have become fans of Chen Yingxiong in their hearts.
Chen Yingxiong immediately had the demeanor of "doing justice for heaven" in their hearts!
Mancini's face was indeed ugly, because after Chen Yingxiong scored, he ran to him to taunt him. No matter how well-educated he was, he couldn't bear it when Chen Yingxiong repeatedly provoked him. That face told everyone unabashedly - I'm very unhappy right now, don't fucking mess with me!
※※※
When Chen Yingxiong scored, Liverpool Club chairman Chen Xing and general manager Niang stood up at the same time to cheer and applaud the goal. church
The movements are even a bit exaggerated.
They did this deliberately to show the Manchester City chairman Mubarak standing next to them.
In the past, Liverpool and Manchester City had many grievances, but they were limited to the team level, matters between players and players, coaches and coaches.
However, Manchester City's purchase of Chen Yingxiong has expanded the conflict to the level of the top management of the two clubs.
So now Liverpool's top brass are dissatisfied with Manchester City's top brass.
So their celebration was a bit exaggerated.
Sitting next to him, Manchester City Club Chairman Mubarak could certainly feel the meaning conveyed by Liverpool's top management, but he couldn't blame the Liverpool people for this matter. After all, they had reason to cheer. The one who complains the most is himself!
He looked down at Mancini, who was standing motionless on the sidelines, clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth: "This idiot!"
When he was at Manchester City, he frequently changed head coaches in order to achieve results at the beginning. However, the results did not come out and continued to decline. Later, people around him told him that the tradition of English football is not to change the head coach frequently, but to give the head coach enough time, so he gave Mancini enough time. At one time, Mancini did let him watch Arrived at hope. Manchester City has gone from a team that could only play soy sauce to a strong contender for the league championship. They also defeated their city rivals Manchester United 6:1 at Old Trafford.
Everything looks so good. If this momentum continues, it will not be far away for Manchester City to surpass Manchester United and become the de facto ruler of the Premier League.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Yingxiong transferred from Naples to Liverpool.
Then everything changed, and the subsequent development of the story began to deviate from Mubarak and Mancini's vision. They suddenly discovered that Manchester City was no longer the protagonist of this story, and the protagonist was replaced by Liverpool, where Chen Yingxiong was.
Mubarak still gave Mancini time and trust, and he would satisfy him whatever he wanted. The latest chapter of the Temple
Just like that, what did you get in exchange? They lost the league title at the last moment for two consecutive seasons. What they got back was that Manchester City was suppressed by Liverpool. What they got back was that the goal this season changed from competing for the league championship to competing for the Champions League qualification...
Mubarak began to seriously consider an issue - he gave Mancini a lot of time, proving that he could only bring the team to this level. So if we want Manchester City to take it to the next level, is it time to change the head coach?
※※※
As Mubarak considers Manchester City's future, the action off the pitch has long since resumed.
After Liverpool equalized the score, their morale was high and they launched a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.
Manchester City's morale plummeted, and this time they could only shrink their defense. Apart from defense, they had no other way to counterattack.
Now they can only hold on until halftime, where they can catch their breath.
Mancini stood on the sidelines, his expression still not recovered. But at this time, it was not because Chen Yingxiong deliberately provoked him, but because he was thinking about how to deal with Liverpool... The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this problem was too difficult. If he knew how to deal with Liverpool, he would not As for being so embarrassed!
※※※
Until the end of the first half, although Liverpool did not score, Manchester City did not have any counterattack.
Although it was just a draw, many people believed that Liverpool would definitely win this League Cup final.
Because Liverpool's morale has risen, while Manchester City's morale continues to decline, Mancini can't come up with anything at all. He stood on the sidelines for twenty minutes in the first half, unable to come up with any adjustments. Of course, some people may say that Mancini might have already had a plan in mind and only waited until halftime to make adjustments... That's right. But as the head coach, you can at least cheer up from the sidelines to boost morale.
No, Mancini did nothing. Obviously he was still worried about this problem. The team was worried until the end of the first half...
Until the end of the first half, he had no idea.
So his brows furrowed even more during the intermission...
※※※
Although it was only a draw, the Liverpool players were very happy and relaxed when they returned to the locker room. On the one hand, of course, it's because Chen Yingxiong's goal helped the team equalize the score. The other reason is that Liverpool has always had the upper hand when facing Manchester City in the past few seasons. It has an absolute advantage in both results and process, so Liverpool players all have psychological advantages, so naturally they don't take this opponent too seriously.
The same result was a different situation in the Manchester City dressing room.
Mancini was still trying in vain to boost the team's morale, saying, "We must catch up in the second half." "It's just a draw at the moment, and both sides have equal opportunities, so as long as we can score a goal, the balance will be broken, and we will Can regain the lead" and the like.
Although these words are correct, in this situation, what is the use of just saying a few words like this?
At this moment, the team's number one star, Aguero, finally couldn't help but snorted, then stood up and said to Mancini: "Boss, stop saying these useless scene words! Just tell us what to do in the second half. What should we do to defeat this damn Liverpool! Just tell us, come up with an idea and we will implement it."
If Mancini knew what to do, he wouldn't have to be so gloomy.
It can be said that Aguero's words just asked about his weakest point. As the saying goes, "Hit someone without slapping him in the face, scold someone without exposing his shortcomings." Aguero was exposing Mancini's shortcomings.
Mancini was a little surprised by this blatant defiance of his authority in the locker room, but was followed by anger.
If a player suddenly becomes angry during halftime of the game and questions the head coach, the situation is already serious!
He suppressed his anger at first and did not share the same understanding as Aguero. He chose to ignore Aguero and continued to encourage his players.
But this time, Aguero clung to him and kept asking questions, as if Mancini would not let him go until he told him that he was ugly.
"Say it! Don't say these nonsense, just tell us how we should deal with them! Tell us the method!"
Seeing that Mancini ignored him, Aguero became even more arrogant. He simply interrupted Mancini and turned to his teammates and said: "He has no way at all! Yes, there is no way! Not only It’s this game! If there was, we would have beaten Liverpool long ago! But we haven’t won a single game! So there’s really nothing we can do, right?”
Aguero turned and looked at the livid Mancini.
Yes, this is a coup. He wants to overthrow this damn head coach. No matter who the successor is, as long as it is not Mancini, he will be happy!
He wants to show the Manchester City boss what he is capable of. He wants to have the say in the locker room!
Don’t you want me to renew my contract with you? Then let me take my rightful place!
The highest salary in the team is no longer enough to satisfy Aguero.
Mancini did not expect that Aguero would dare to challenge him face to face. He stared at Aguero with wide eyes, shocked and angry, as if the person in his eyes was not the Argentine genius he was familiar with, but an unheard of one. Like a monster!
"What nonsense are you talking about, Aguero!" he asked the Argentinian angrily.
All he got was a contemptuous sneer from the Argentinian: "Admit the fact, Mancini. You have nothing to do, right?"
The Manchester City players in the locker room were all dumbfounded - they didn't expect Aguero to contradict the coach during the halftime break!
This...this is a big deal!
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by this matter. As for the half of the League Cup final? Who cares about that!
