"Man City actually scored another goal and took the lead even though they were playing with ten men!"
"After Su Dong intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, he launched a counterattack on the spot and drove straight in. Like an arrow piercing the clouds, he shot through Arsenal's defense in an instant, allowing Manchester City to exceed the score again."
"This is absolutely an unbelievable goal, I can't even believe my eyes."
"Only Su Dong could accomplish such a feat, and only he never gave up in the most difficult moments."
"We must admit that the possibility of winning the game with ten people is quite slim, but Su Dong's goal gave Manchester City hope, especially it re-energized the team's morale and fighting spirit, which is more important than anything else. "
"We saw that Su Dong couldn't hold back his momentum. He fell out of the stadium and hit the billboard. All the Manchester City players rushed towards him. They celebrated the goal on the sidelines."
"For Manchester City playing at home, this goal is more important than anything else, even more than three points!"
"As we have been emphasizing in the past, any team must have a tenacious fighting spirit, a strong temperament, and the confidence to dare to give the enemy a try even in the most difficult circumstances. ."
"Looking at Manchester City, head coach Guardiola's coaching style is more rational. His tactics are very delicate and his ability to pass and control the ball is very strong. However, on-site command and shaping the team's willpower are not Guardiola's strengths. , so last season Manchester City performed very poorly in the strong dialogue, and even lost their advantage in many games where they should have scored points."
"But this season, with the addition of Su Dong, Manchester City has taken on a new look, especially the goal just now."
"I hope everyone will not just remember the moment of the goal, but to see that after Micah Richards got the red card and Arsenal equalized the score, Manchester City was passively beaten in a long period of sluggishness. The morale of the team is low and everyone has lost their fighting spirit. Only Su Dong is still running regardless of physical strength."
"As a high center forward with a height of 1.95 meters, we saw that Su Dong's running distance was a full kilometer longer than the second-place Alexander Song. This is simply unbelievable."
"And this goal is the reward for Su Dong's relentless running and pressing in the past period of time."
…
Su Dong was lying on the sidelines.
He did fall off the court, but he didn't actually hit the billboard.
The Etihad Stadium was renovated from the original sports complex, and the goal line is still some distance from the billboard.
But it did fall quite hard.
He just lay down and didn't want to move, but his overall mood was very good.
He heard cheers filling the sky and countless fans shouting his name crazily.
Teammates ran over one after another, and Pepe even hugged his head and kissed his forehead hard.
Everyone kept praising his goals.
This is a morale-reviving goal!
Su Dong got up from the ground and looked at his teammates around him.
Everyone naturally stood in front of him and looked at him.
At this time, they all need someone to direct them and tell them what they should do.
"Did you see it? Arsenal is not scary at all!" Su Dong said with certainty.
"Even if there are only ten people left, we can still knock them down and make them leave the Etihad Stadium on their knees!"
The Manchester City players nodded. If they had doubted Su Dong's words before scoring the goal, they would not now.
Su Dong's words rekindled their fighting spirit and gave them hope.
"Next, we have to continue to maintain this rhythm. There are only ten people, so each of us will run more and grab more to fill the vacancy of the missing person. I believe we have such strength!"
"Come!"
Su Dong stretched out his right hand again.
The surrounding players also stretched out their hands one after another and intertwined with Su Dong's hands.
"Man City, come on!"
…
"He is really a born king and an outstanding leader!" Soriano couldn't help but praise when he saw this scene on the sidelines.
Su Dong's goal was crucial and kept Manchester City's confidence.
The game has gone to this level, with one player missing so early. It would be extremely difficult to beat Arsenal.
But no matter what the next result is, as long as it is not a huge defeat, Su Dong's goal will maintain Manchester City's morale.
This is more precious than three points or a victory.
As long as morale does not collapse, Manchester City still has hope this season.
"I really regret it now." Mansour kept shaking his head. "I regret why we didn't buy Sudong earlier. If we had bought him earlier, we wouldn't have played last season or even last season."
So embarrassed."
Soriano and Begiristain both nodded.
Su Dong is indeed crucial to the current Manchester City, and can even be said to be a rebirth.
With or without Su Dong, there are two completely different Manchester City.
Especially at this critical moment, Su Dong's value is fully reflected.
"Can we defend this goal?" Mubarak suddenly asked.
Soriano and Begiristain looked at each other, both obviously pessimistic.
Morale has been restored, but the disadvantage on the field is difficult to level.
The impact of one missing player on any team is disruptive, not just in terms of tactics.
In the Premier League, someone once made a very complex statistics and came up with a rough probability: if a defender is sent off with a red card, the number of goals conceded by the team in the remaining time will increase by 0.024 goals per minute.
That is equivalent to conceding one more goal in half a game.
Remember, you lose one more ball, not one ball.
This is the conclusion reached after counting the big data of the Premier League for many years. If calculated according to this conclusion, Manchester City will have to concede at least two goals. This is basically difficult to change, especially for a team like Manchester City that scored in the first four minutes.
For a team that receives a red card, the probability of conceding a goal is definitely much higher than the average.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the Premier League statistics, there is another data, which is the winning rate caused by red cards.
After deducting some garbage time, or those games where the red card has no harm to the overall situation, the probability of the team receiving the red card winning is less than 10%.
But this alone is not enough.
In this percentage, we have not yet deducted those variables, such as when a red card is received, which has a crucial impact on the game.
For someone like Manchester City, they probably don't even have half the chance. Winning is an extremely unlikely event, or even a miracle.
Therefore, when Mubarak asked this question, both Soriano and Begiristain were speechless.
Because they all know that there is basically no suspense about the team losing.
The difference lies in how to lose.
…………
…………
The court seemed to confirm the views of Soriano and Begiristain, or the vast majority of people.
Although Arsenal conceded a goal, they quickly regained control of the situation and continued to attack Manchester City.
The Gunners are indeed not the best among the semi-finals, but in the first half of every season, Arsenal is a strong team that no team can underestimate.
Want to bully the shooter?
Sorry, come back in the second half of the trip!
Manchester City tried very hard to seize possession of the ball, but there was no way. One less person meant that the opponent would always have one more contact point than Manchester City. As long as their players were not lazy and started running, then Manchester City would not be able to seize it.
arrive.
The two teams were unable to widen the gap in time of possession, which was due to Manchester City's excellent passing and ball control capabilities.
Time passed bit by bit, Arsenal had the advantage and frequently created threats, but they were never able to break through Manchester City's goal.
But just before the end of the first half, Arsenal launched another wave of offensive.
After receiving a pass from his teammate, Fabregas suddenly stepped in and dribbled the ball directly into Manchester City's penalty area.
Kompany was caught off guard, blocked Fabregas with his body, and made a steal.
The ball was indeed grabbed, but Fabregas fell to the upper right corner of Manchester City's penalty area.
The referee Clattenburg blew the whistle immediately!
The entire Etihad Stadium exploded again.
Su Dong was nearby and immediately ran towards Clattenburg and directly blocked him.
"This shouldn't be a penalty, Mark!" Su Dong protested.
After already getting a red card, who can bear another penalty kick?
This is simply a rhythm that will kill Manchester City!
Could it be said that these gentlemen in the Premier League are really so afraid of Manchester City's strong rise?
Clattenberg was very sure, saying it was a foul in the penalty area and Kompany tripped Fabregas.
Su Dong was also anxious, "You have already given us a red card, and you want another penalty kick? You might as well just sentence us to lose!"
Clattenburg was also stunned.
Su Dong has always been known for his integrity, so much so that there is a saying in European football circles that as long as Su Dong falls to the ground in the penalty area, it goes without saying that a direct penalty kick will definitely not be wrong.
Su Dong has always been very polite to referees.
But no one expected that he would be so out of control or even say such heart-wrenching words in person.
Clattenburg was stunned for a moment, put his hand into his pocket, and raised a yellow card towards Su Dong.
This move once again triggered wild boos from the entire Manchester City fans.
"A goal was scored in forty-five seconds, and a red card was given in four minutes. Now that we have finally surpassed the score, he gave us another penalty kick. Clattenburg, are you blind?" The commentator on the scene was also angry.
.
The entire Etihad Stadium roared with rage.
But Clattenburg didn't care and still pointed to the penalty spot.
Peipei came over and comforted Su Dong.
"What the hell, they are trying every possible means to knock us down from the leadership position!" Pepe said angrily.
As for who they are, who knows?
Su Dong took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and patted Peipei on the shoulder.
"They will definitely regret their approach, because it will not defeat us at all, but will make us stronger and more united."
"We still have the second half!" Su Dong said loudly.
