Chapter 797 How to Choose?
? The League Cup game didn't cause much of a stir on the English side.
But as far away as China, the news of this game has been going on for nearly a week.
Of course, none of this had any effect on the high waves.
On the third day after the end of the League Cup, Manchester City ushered in the sixth round of the league, away to Aston Villa.
The game as a whole went well.
The team took a two-goal lead in the first half, and in the second half, Vardy scored another goal to help the team seal the victory.
But towards the end of the game, a shot from the outside of Aston Villa hit Hazard.
While awarding a penalty to Aston Villa, the referee also believed that Vardy had intentional handball and showed him a yellow card.
And this is the second chapter of Vardy’s yellow card in this game-in the first half of the game, he had a tactical foul and was also awarded a yellow card. In this case, Vardy accumulated two yellow cards and was shown a red card.
As a result, he needs to be suspended for the next round of the Premier League.
......
"Damn it!!" Gao Bo, who was on the sidelines, scolded very depressedly.
This is the second round of the Champions League group stage between Manchester City and CSKA Moscow, four days after Manchester City's 3-1 away win over Aston Villa.
Manchester City host CSKA Moscow at the Etihad Stadium.
Ten minutes into the game, Hazard, who started the game, was brought down from behind by the opponent during a fight and was injured!
The team doctor immediately entered the field to check on Hazard. After asking about Hazard, he made a substitution gesture to the sidelines: Hazard can't insist on the game and needs to be replaced!
Gao Bo complained a few words, and he looked at the bench.
He immediately asked Vardy to warm up.
In the eleventh minute of the game, Manchester City made a substitution, and Vardy came off the bench to replace the injured Hazard.
"How's the situation?" Gao Bo asked the team doctor.
"It's not bad luck, it's better than I imagined, and there are no major injuries!" said the team doctor, "but I will definitely not be able to play in the weekend league."
Gao Bo nodded, but was injured and missed a game, which is still within the range he can accept.
......
Manchester City scored in the 21st minute of the game!
David Silva crosses the middle from the side, Sanchez grabs the front and hits the shot!
CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Akinfeev made a brave save. Although he touched the ball, he still did not organize the ball into the net.
It is worth mentioning that the last time the Russian national goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the Champions League was seven years ago. In November 2006, in the Champions League group stage match, the opponent at that time was Arsenal. It became zero to zero. After that, Akinfeev had an iron rule that he would lose the ball in the Champions League.
No surprise this time.
"Akinfeev lost the ball again. As long as he plays in the Champions League, CSKA Moscow will have the attribute of losing the ball..." England commentator Letkinson joked.
With the team taking the lead, Gao Bo was starting to feel better about the impact of Hazard's injury.
Manchester City's second goal came in the 43rd minute of the game!
Manchester City played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and finally Griezmann's shot from the penalty area helped the team to expand the score again!
The goal held by Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev was pierced again!
Two to zero!
Manchester City have a two-goal lead!
.....
"This is Manchester City! They are so powerful, CSKA Moscow can't do anything about them!"
"This is the first time the two teams have met in Europe, and Manchester City is expected to win a victory against a Russian team!"
Leading by two goals, Gao Bo sat on the coach's bench with a very relaxed expression on his face.
A team like CSKA Moscow is currently unable to bring any threat to Manchester City.
At the end of the first half of the game, after the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions and adjustments.
And Manchester City scored again in the 73rd minute of the game!
Griezmann crossed the penalty area and the football hit the defender!
Penalty!
"PENALTY!! Manchester City got the penalty!!!"
"Griezmann has a chance to help Manchester City expand the score!"
Manchester City's penalty taker is Griezmann!
The French teenager stood at the penalty spot, the referee's whistle sounded, Griezmann ran and volleyed to the right of the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"
"Three to zero!! Manchester City secured the victory. CSKA Moscow did not cause any trouble for Manchester City. For CSKA Moscow, the strength of Manchester City is too strong!"
This is indeed the case. CSKA Moscow was very embarrassed in the face of the powerful Manchester City.
In the face of Manchester City's attack, CSKA Moscow's defense line often takes care of one and the other, and is completely unable to compete.
In the 80th minute of the game, Manchester City scored another goal!
An opportunity for a corner kick, Kompany beat the defender, a powerful header, once again blasted the goal of CSKA Moscow!
"Four to zero! Manchester City slaughtered CSKA Moscow!"
"Manchester City at home is full of vigour! They gave the home fans a feast of goals!"
After Manchester City took a big lead, it seemed that the referee could not bear it.
Five minutes later, the referee showed Umtiti a yellow card for a foul by Umtiti!
Umtiti was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards!
This penalty aroused strong dissatisfaction with Gao Bo. If Umtiti was to be shown a yellow card for this action, then the foul that caused Vardy to be injured in the first half, the defender of CSKA Moscow should be sent off with a direct red card!
But that time the referee didn't show any cards!
Gao Bo found and the fourth official protested, but the fourth official just asked Gao Bo to respect the referee's decision.
Facing such a penalty, Gao Bo could only sarcastically say: "What a sympathetic Mr. referee!"
He thought it was the referee taking care of CSKA Moscow, who were behind by a large score.
In the end, Manchester City beat CSKA Moscow 4-0 at home in this game!
The Champions League group stage wins two games to get six points, the same score as Bayern, which also wins both games.
At the post-match press conference, Gao Bo was very dissatisfied with the referee finally giving Umtiti a red card.
Even if he is punished by UEFA, Gao Bo has to stand up for his players.
In the end, Gao Bo of course also received a warning from UEFA and a fine.
Of course, fines are no problem for Manchester City, as long as the manager doesn't suspend the game.
Of course, Gao Bo did not focus on this.
Vardy injured as Hazard suspended!
In the position of center, Manchester City actually had a small employment crisis.
Now the team only has Li Yuanshan, a full-fledged center.
Whether to let the young Li Yuanshan start when facing a team like Everton, or let Griezmann or Sanchez play the center position instead.
Gao Bo was caught in the thought of how to choose.
