Football: the history of the first ball

10 minutes into the game, Tottenham took only the second shot, and Son Heung-min succeeded with a header.

This is unacceptable to Manchester City fans.

This is a game that must be won, but now, it is falling into the curse of being scored first by the opponent.

Manchester City fans were scolding, and Huaxia fans were also commenting enthusiastically.

"Korea's Sun Xingmin has to admit that he is really good. He is tall, jumping and fast. I think he is already the ceiling of Asian players in the Premier League. It is impossible for other Asian players to surpass him."

"Nonsense, Xiao Jian is only 17 years old. I think Xiao Jian's potential is greater than him. As long as Xiao Jian is given time, I believe he is the ceiling for future Asian players."

"Forget it, Xiao Jian's goals were all scored in the youth team. This is the Premier League. His strength is not hit by adult players at all."

"Look at Gua Shuai, he's so sad now."

Guardiola frowned on the sidelines, staring at the field, as if there was fire in his eyes.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the players today, and he did not see the confidence of the players to win.

Instead, he saw the players plodding.

The pressure of losing two games in a row made the players seem to fall into some kind of pressure spell. They passed the ball non-stop, but when they hit the goal, their shots were high and wide.

There is no front line, and if you play well, it will be a mercury leak. Everyone in the frontcourt is a forward, and it is impossible to defend against.

But if you don't fight well, you will become a headless fly with no direction.

Gua Shuai yelled and directed the offense, and the players began to regain control of the situation.

David Silva and De Bruyne regained control of the midfield. In the next first half, Manchester City passed [-]% of the ball and shot six shots, but there was no threat.

The Tottenham team played two high-quality counterattacks. After Sun Heungmin broke through two people with the ball, he was directly brought down by right back Sabaletta. The referee rewarded Sabaletta with a yellow card.

With Tottenham's free kick flying, the first half was over.

During the intermission, the angry Manchester City fans used [-]% of their skills to scold Gua Shuai and [-]% of their energy to comment on the ball.

Gua Shuai with a livid face, head down, walked out of the field without saying a word. This was the first half that disappointed him. If he can't make it back in the second half, he will also feel like leaving.

However, he is not reconciled. He has been building Manchester City for a year, and the Barcelona-style quicksilver pass and control play has matured, but it happened to be stuck in the final shooting link.

In a football game, no matter how beautifully you play, if you don’t score but lose, it’s equal to zero.

If only Aguero was still around.

No, he can't do it anymore, Aguero is old, and he has no choice but to retire.

Gua Shuai was furious in the locker room, and he rarely smashed the table twice.

He saw that all the players were bowing their heads, not daring to touch his anger.

At this time, he suddenly saw Xiao Jian, the only Xiao Jian with his head raised.

Xiao Jian's eyes were full of longing and fighting spirit.

Guashuai's heart skipped a beat.

Just because he put Xiao Jian on the bench doesn't mean he will be sent on the field. Sun Jihai's chances of playing are much higher than him.

He was fulfilling his promise, agreeing to consider Xiao Jian's request, and deep down in his heart, he also hoped to use Xiao Jian to charge only as a last resort.

But obviously, the team is still far from that moment. Besides, pinning their hopes on a 17-year-old boy feels ridiculous even to Gua Shuai.

During the half-time break, Guashuai asked every player in the frontcourt to have a chance to hit the goal resolutely, and the defense, especially Zabaleta, who was dyed yellow, should not be impulsively dyed red.

Gua Shuai saw that Sun Xingmin had changed positions, and he used his speed to force a breakthrough in order to cause right back Sabaletta to get a red card for a foul.

In the second half, Guashuai did not make substitutions, but after adjustments in the midfield, the players began to strengthen their shots after controlling the ball on the field.

David Silva shot a long-range shot over the bar, and De Bruyne's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper.

In the 21 minutes of the second half, Manchester City had already shot eight times, but still failed to score.

Tottenham's two counterattacks also caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City.

Among them, Sun Xingmin's forced breakthrough made Zabaleta, who was wearing a yellow card, play with his hands tied.

At the moment when Sun Xingmin was strong, Zabaleta thought about his yellow card and hesitated for a while, and Sun Xingmin had already passed him.

Son Heung-min played a two-over with Kane, and then crossed the ball to Kane again. Kane shot hard, and the ball bounced off the defender and into Manchester City's goal.

This was a lucky goal, but it was enough to seal the victory for Tottenham.

Because in the first two games, Manchester City fell behind by one goal and did not recover, let alone two goals behind.

The extremely angry fans saw the Tottenham players celebrating wildly, and some uncontrollable fans had already started throwing objects on the pitch.

More than 1000 Huaxia fans also came in this game, just to watch the performance of Huaxia Gemini. Now Gemini did not appear, but was beaten twice.

The Huaxia fans at the scene were all silent.

Gua Shuai said something to the assistant coach, and the assistant coach immediately shouted to Sun Jihai: "Sun, go warm up." Gua Shuai obviously couldn't bear the mistake of the right back.

Sun Jihai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up.

He played a lot of games last year, but he didn't play a game this year.

He knew that this game will be broadcast live on Sports Five nationwide and by five other media outlets. This will set a record-breaking ratings in the Premier League in China. It will definitely be a glorious moment for Chinese players to appear on the stage now.

Xiao Jian waved his fist happily and shouted: "Brother Sun, come on."

Zhan Jun said excitedly: "Everyone, Sun Jihai has gone to warm up now. He is very likely to play. If he plays, this will be his first appearance in the Premier League this year. We wish him good results."

In the 206th minute of the second half, Sun Jihai replaced Zabaleta. The Huaxia fans were extremely excited. They could finally see Huaxia players on the field.

Sun Xingmin seemed to want to show off to Sun Jihai. He is also an Asian player, and he wanted to humiliate Sun Jihai with his crushing skills.

After he got the ball, he became secretive and used his speed to break through Sun Jihai. Unexpectedly, Sun Jihai fell to the ground, and with a clean tackle, he directly shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

Some fans yelled: "Okay, Sun is good, he should have been replaced earlier, and the second goal will not be lost."

No. 30 minutes into the second half, Manchester City still gained momentum and failed to score.

Gua Shuai was so anxious that he was on fire. He turned his head and looked at the bench, only to see Xiao Jian standing and watching the game. The anxiety in his eyes was no less than his own.

Gua Shuai pointed directly at Xiao Jian: "Xiao Jian, go warm up."

Xiao Jian's heart was beating wildly, and he shouted: "Thank you coach." He quickly started to warm up. "

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, Xiao Jian went to warm up, and Guardiola personally asked him to warm up. If Xiao Jian comes on stage, the Huaxia Twin Stars will go to the Premier League together and set a new record."

In the 35th minute of the second half, Xiao Jian replaced Jing Duoan. Amid the cheers of the fans, he quickly ran onto the field.

Gua Shuai finally agreed to his request and gave him the most critical last 10 minutes of the game.
