Chapter 559 Joe Hart of Consecutive Mistakes
Let's talk about Anderlecht, Manchester City's opponent in the first Champions League group match. In the top Belgian league, Anderlecht is the absolute king.

After Anderlecht won the first Belgian top league championship in 1947, it was out of control in the league, winning more than half of the league championships in more than 60 years.

And in addition to dominating the league, Anderlecht has won two European Cup Winners' Cups, one UEFA Cup and two Super Cups.

In the whole of Europe, it can be regarded as a strong team.

However, with the dominance of the five major leagues, teams from small leagues like Anderlecht are getting worse and worse in European competitions.

But even so, Anderlecht still maintains this absolute dominance in Belgium.

Of course, in the face of Manchester City, which has already shown its dominance in Europe and is creating its first dynasty, the outside world still does not think that Anderlecht can cause any trouble for Manchester City.

In Group C where Manchester City is located, it is considered by the outside world that the only one who can break the wrist with Manchester City is Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Aguero was unable to play due to injury, and the Manchester City team was in a sluggish state due to the FIFA virus. Such a situation cast a shadow over Manchester City's first game of the Champions League.

Many media also commented that if Manchester City still maintains the sluggish state in the league in this game, it will give Anderlecht a chance if it is not good.

And when the time came to September 9th, when the first match of the Champions League began, the game was brisk and very evil, and it was moving towards a situation that Manchester City fans did not want to see.

Last season, after Manchester City's meritorious goalkeeper Joe Hart was injured in the final stage, he did not return until this season's pre-season warm-up match.

However, after his comeback, Joe Hart was not in a good state in the warm-up match, so he was put on the bench by Pellegrini at the beginning of the season, and Navas played as the starting goalkeeper.

Until the last league game against Stoke City, Joe Hart regained the starting position from Keylor Navas again.

But it is a pity that Joe Hart, who finally got the starting lineup, lost the ball at the beginning, which disappointed Pellegrini very much.

Although Joe Hart's state in the last game was quite bad, Pellegrini considered Joe Hart's qualifications in Manchester City and the attitude of the last collective petition of the players in the team. This game still gave Joe Hart Hart has the opportunity to let him start.

But when the game started, Pellegrini found that Joe Hart did not seize the opportunity he gave.

Against Anderlecht, although Aguero is missing, the state of Manchester City's players is not good, but Yang Mo's state is really good.

At the beginning of the game, Yang Mo was alone in the frontcourt, making Anderlecht's defense rush to the back of his head. He just relied on his own strength to drive his teammates to completely suppress Anderlecht.

But under a great situation, Joe Hart made another mistake.

In the 9th and [-]th minutes of the first half, Anderlecht made a counterattack.

The quality of the counterattack this time is very average, and it was terminated by the Manchester City backhand before it came to Manchester City.

But just when Manchester City finished their defense and was about to counterattack, Joe Hart made a fatal mistake.

Without paying attention to the surrounding situation, Joe Hart sent a slow pass in the penalty area, but it was intercepted by Anderlecht striker Mitrovic who was hiding next to him, and the angle was swayed. Then he kicked a long shot to complete the goal.

"Oops! Serbian striker Mitrovic made a sneak attack and helped Anderlecht lead the game [-]-[-]!"

"It was Joe Hart's mistake again. In the previous fourth round of the Premier League, it was Joe Hart's mistake that caused Manchester City to lose the ball first. Unexpectedly, he made another mistake in the Champions League."

"The ball was lost too badly. Before Joe Hart passed the ball, Thiago Silva had already signaled him to be careful."

"Joe Hart's performance this season has been very bad since his injury last season. In this case, should Pellegrini consider using Keylor Navas, who is in better condition, as the starter instead of blindly trusting Joe Hart? Hart."

"No one will deny Joe Hart's contribution to Manchester City, but the opponent will not show mercy to his subordinates because of Joe Hart's past achievements in the game. In competitive sports, whoever is in good condition should play, instead of blindly looking at qualifications .”

From Huang Jianxiang's remarks, one can already hear the disappointment with Joe Hart's state.

This is the case as a commentary, and Pellegrini can't see it from the sidelines.

He really wanted to make a substitution, but since the live game didn't even start for 20 minutes, he couldn't possibly make a substitution now anyway.

What's more, apart from injuries in today's football, few teams will replace the goalkeeper during the game. Doing so is almost tantamount to tearing faces with Joe Hart.

Considering the attitude of the old players in the Manchester City team, especially the attitude of Yang Mo, who had pleaded for Joe Hart before, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

On the court, Yang Mo, who was feared by Pellegrini, looked at Anderlecht, who was celebrating wildly at home, but shook his head helplessly.

Before, he could see that he helped Joe Hart once because of past affection, but it was impossible to help Joe Hart every time.

Joe Hart is in this state, even those old Manchester City who want to get together, it is impossible to force Pellegrini to give Joe Hart a starting position.

Not surprisingly, Anderlecht began to shrink its formation and began to defend, which caused Manchester City, which was already in poor form, to have a particularly headache.

The head coach even replaced Mitrovic who scored just now with a defensive player at 27 minutes, and started to set up the bus without any scenes.

Although Yang Mo is desperately rushing left and right in the frontcourt, without the restraint of Aguero on the right, when his teammates are all a bit fuzzy and Ibrahimovic can fly in front of the goal, he can only rely on With the strength of one person, it is really difficult to help Manchester City equalize the score in the first half.

After entering the intermission, Pellegrini looked at Joe Hart, who was showing self-blame, and once wanted to replace him.

But after a series of entanglements, Pellegrini finally dismissed the idea.

But what Pellegrini didn't know was that when he entered the second half, he regretted his decision very much.

At the beginning of the second half, relying on the adjustments during the intermission, the Manchester City team finally showed a little bit of what a European hegemon should be.

In the 61st minute, Silva made a precise arc pass and sent the ball to Yang Mo's feet on the left side of Anderlecht's penalty area.

Without stopping the ball at all, Yang Mo swept the falling football flat while running, and sent the ball directly into the Anderlecht goal.

However, Manchester City had not been immersed in the joy of finally equalizing the score for a long time, and the accident happened again.

In the 69th minute, in the face of Anderlecht midfielder Korjestein's long-range shot from 35 meters away, Joe Hart threw the ball and let the football roll into the Manchester City goal.
