Chapter 58: You are indeed a good... friend (700 monthly tickets for additional updates)
Liverpool lost two of their main forwards at once. Suarez was replaced due to injury. Chen Yingxiong applied for a red card himself in order to avenge Suarez.
Mancini saw that this was a good situation! Maybe my team can take away three points in the away game!
Although I thought a draw would be enough at first, who doesn’t want more points? Now Manchester City is only three points ahead of second place Tottenham. Wouldn't it be better if they could be six points ahead?
So he decided to strengthen his attack and replaced Balotelli.
"Balotelli is about to play! It looks like Liverpool is in trouble!"
the narrator exclaims.
Manchester City fans also cheered as if they had won the game.
Although Balotelli was a bit impatient, he set off fireworks and burned down the house where he lived. However, no one doubted his ability. In Manchester City's 6-1 win over rivals Manchester United in an away game, Balotelli scored twice. After scoring, he lifted up his jersey to reveal the phrase "Why always me?" inside in celebration. Although the movements are not exaggerated, they are full of aura and domineering. Many fans liked it very much, and since then, the T-shirt has been a best-seller.
Many people say that Balotelli is a genius who only needs to control his unpredictable temper a little.
So when Balotelli came on the field, everyone knew that Liverpool was going to be unlucky.
Even Dalglish frowned on the sidelines.
Now that Liverpool has one less player, it is almost impossible to win, and they have to worry so as not to continue to concede goals. Seeing Balotelli play, he felt nervous.
Manchester City is about to let go of the attack...
Do we really want to lose this game at home?
When he thought about the situation he might face after losing, he was unwilling to accept it.
※ ※ ※
"Balotelli comes on, Manchester City is planning to steal three points away from home!"
"What can Dalgliesh do to deal with it? His brows are frowning very tightly, but just frowning is useless!"
"Liverpool is really unlucky. One of their main strikers was injured and the other was sent off. Now Manchester City have to fight to the death! They replaced Balotelli."
"Obviously, the Italians came here with a special mission, which is to completely end Liverpool's luck and take three points away from home!"
"Liverpool has faced Manchester City at home in the last eight and has achieved an unbeaten record of six wins and two draws, but now it looks like their unbeaten record is coming to an end!"
The commentators have already begun to read out Liverpool's death sentence in advance.
And Balotelli really lived up to expectations!
He was substituted in the 67th minute and received a yellow card ten minutes later! At that time, he fouled Glen Johnson.
Just five minutes later, Balotelli once again let people see why he is called "The God of Balotelli"!
He was sent off with two yellow cards because he elbowed Skrtel while jumping up to fight for the top!
"Oh! Oh! Oh my God! Balotelli gets a second yellow card!"
"He only played for a few minutes? Fifteen minutes! He got a red card in fifteen minutes!"
"Manchester City was originally in a good situation, but now it's not certain..."
"Before the game, Balotelli said that he had a good relationship with Chen Yingxiong. Now we also know why the two of them have a good relationship! Is he using his own actions to support the hero and stay with the hero?"
"Balotelli is so interesting!"
The commentators were collectively shocked. They were praising Balotelli's appearance before for bringing a victory to Manchester City, but they didn't expect it to be over...
Mancini looked angry on the sidelines at Balotelli's needless red card. When Balotelli walked off the field, he tried to explain to his coach that he didn't mean it. But Manic had a straight face and didn't even look at him.
Balotelli had no choice but to spread his hands and walked into the tunnel.
"In this way, both Manchester City and Liverpool have ten people. Liverpool's disadvantage is gone, and Manchester City's advantage is gone..."
Looking at Balotelli's back, the commentator said.
This game is really weird. Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to apply for a red card because of revenge. Unexpectedly, Balotelli from Manchester City only played for fifteen minutes and was also sent off with a red card. These two are really friends!
※ ※ ※
At this time, Chen Yingxiong was laughing in the locker room. He turned on the TV and watched the live game on the TV in the locker room - he was still very concerned about the progress of the game.
When he saw Balotelli was also sent off with a red card, he couldn't help laughing.
It was so dramatic and hilarious that he just couldn't hold it in. They had all forgotten that they were sent off with a red card.
"Holy shit, you are an undercover agent! Hahahaha!" Chen Yingxiong pointed at the TV screen and laughed.
Suarez was influenced by him and couldn't help laughing when he saw Balotelli being sent off.
※ ※ ※
Balotelli's red card not only shocked the commentators, but also shocked the Manchester City fans.
When Chen Yingxiong was sent off, Liverpool had one less player, which gave Manchester City fans hope of winning. After Balotelli was replaced, it seemed that the good wishes of Manchester City fans were really confirmed. They thought that the team was going to strengthen their offense and victory was waiting to happen!
Unexpectedly, Balotelli, the second player, had only been on the court for fifteen minutes and already requested a red card... The two yellow cards he received were inexplicable and unnecessary.
When he was shown a yellow card, the Manchester City fans at the scene and in front of the TV couldn't believe it. Then many people covered their heads and yelled: "Damn it! This brain-dead Balotelli!"
Yes, Balotelli is brain-dead.
Balotelli's stupid move made the game lose its suspense.
In the end, the two sides tied at 1:1, and no one was able to defeat the other.
But this result is acceptable for Mancini, but for Dalglish, it is a bit difficult to accept.
After three consecutive rounds without a win... the gap to the top four has widened to four points.
Dalglish had to face all kinds of tricky questions from reporters at press conferences.
In addition, he also had to answer questions about Chen Yingxiong, and whether Balotelli really elbowed Skrtel, whether Skrtel was diving, and other messy questions that actually have nothing to do with him. Who called him? Is it the head coach?
"Is the failure to defeat Manchester City at home related to Chen Yingxiong's initiative to apply for a red card?" The reporters' questions were really tricky.
Although from a certain perspective, it can be understood this way. If Chen Yingxiong does not come off the field, with his ability, he can always threaten Manchester City's goal. Maybe he can score a goal before the end of the game?
But Dalglish couldn't really nod his head and say that.
When he said it, he put all the responsibility on the players. Dalglish still valued Chen Yingxiong very much. After all, if he wants to achieve results in Liverpool, Chen Yingxiong is the person he must rely on.
So he shook his head without hesitation and denied the reporter's suggestion: "It has nothing to do with it. Although the hero's fate has left us with one less person, on the court, sometimes the victory or defeat of both sides is not determined by the number of people... …”
"What do you think of the hero's impulsive act of revenge?"
"I don't have any opinion. That's his freedom. I think every player may be hot-headed and not calm for a while on the court. It's nothing surprising... Of course, I have nothing to say about Richards' experience. pity……"
"Will the hero apologize for his reckless behavior after the game?"
"You have to ask him..."
"Did Skrtel dive?"
"I don't think so. Balotelli did hit Skrtel in the head..."
…
After finally dealing with the reporters, Dalglish returned to the dressing room.
Suarez has been sent to the hospital for further examination and treatment, and Chen Yingxiong is talking about the game with his teammates. It was a pity not to win, but no one in the locker room accused Chen Yingxiong of unnecessary foul behavior. Because everyone knows that Chen Yingxiong is fighting for his own people, and those who stand up for his own people should not be criticized.
If Chen Yingxiong tackled Richards for no reason because of his mental disability, his teammates would probably view him completely differently.
Seeing Dalglish come in, everyone did not shut up immediately. This was after the game, everyone wanted to do whatever they wanted. Although they felt a little guilty for not winning, it was just a matter of thought. There was no need to pretend to be mourning in front of the head coach.
Dalgliesh ignored the others and walked straight to Chen Yingxiong: "Let's talk, hero."
"Okay, boss."
"First of all, I have to say that your idea of revenge for Suarez is good, but... next time I hope you will do it when you can help the team score another goal and ensure victory..."
Chen Yingxiong smiled: "I thought you were here to investigate, boss."
"Of course I'm here to ask questions!"
"Then aren't you teaching me to do evil?"
"It's experience, it's experience."
"Okay, thank you boss for your experience."
"Let's get down to business. I'm really here to criticize you, hero. Your red card caused us to lose the game at home when we had a chance to win it. You said something bad about this, but you made everyone The team was in trouble." Dalglish said seriously with a straight face.
Chen Yingxiong did not retort by saying, "Winning does not depend on me alone." He did feel that his premature exit made the team lose one person, making it more difficult to win.
"I will apologize to the whole team during training the day after tomorrow, boss."
Dalgliesh nodded: "But don't you think you should apologize to one more person, hero?"
Chen Yingxiong was confused: "Who?"
"The person you hurt..."
Chen Yingxiong reacted: "Richards?"
"yes……"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong shook his head and interrupted his boss: "I will not apologize to him. Unless he apologizes to Louis first, all these things are caused by his shoveling of Louis!" He said firmly and with a very serious attitude. Determined.
"Boss, please stop trying to persuade me on this matter. I won't listen to you. I will never apologize to my enemies because I didn't do anything wrong!"
Seeing Chen Yingxiong's resolute expression, Dalgliesh could only shrug: "Okay, if you don't want to apologize, then you won't apologize..."
Originally, he just mentioned the apology to Richards casually, but it was not true that if he did not apologize to Richards, Chen Yingxiong would be thrown into the cold palace. Richards was not his biological father, so he did not care about so many things. What?
However, he still reminded Chen Yingxiong: "You are likely to face additional penalties for this foul... Be mentally prepared, and the team may not appeal because of this red card. I hope you can understand. After all, it is just There is no problem with your red card. If we appeal, we may be severely punished if we fail..."
Chen Yingxiong expressed his understanding of the team's approach: "I understand, boss. It doesn't matter. I don't plan to appeal."
