Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

42nd minute.

A foul from a Sporting CP player.

Chen Chen made a wonderful through pass and the ball came to Spider-Man's feet.

But when Spider-Man was about to start with the ball, Mateus Reis ran over and pulled his clothes.

The counterattack opportunity was fleeting, and Alvarez, whose offensive rhythm was disrupted, stood there helplessly with his hands spread out.

The referee immediately ran over and gave Reis a yellow gem card.

It was actually difficult to give a yellow card for this foul.

But Jovanovic still gave it.

It was like the yellow card was given lightly just now and then the balance was found in reverse.

Maybe it was this balance that prevented Jovanovic from entering UEFA's vision?

In the first half stoppage time.

Mahrez knocked down Esgayo, and the two got up and hit each other.

The situation became chaotic again.

This time Jovanovic chose to give each of them a yellow card.

Mahrez and Esgayo both received yellow cards.

This time, the players of Sporting CP are not happy!

My goodness, it was Mahrez who committed the foul first, and everyone got a yellow card at the end?

Chen Chen and Rodri pulled Mahrez away from the center of the conflict. According to the way the polo king is so talkative, if he gets angry with his opponent again, he might get another yellow card.

Chen Chen is a little unsure about the referee's decision today.

You say he is just calling the fouls, but there is nothing wrong with these waves of fouls.

But how serious is he? Not really.

Because Jovanovic's control effect is really poor.

At this time, Chen Chen understood.

Why didn't Jovanovic appear in UEFA's referee selection list for some key matches?

One of the reasons is that he is too balanced.

Another more important reason is that he doesn't know how to control the game.

A referee who takes out a yellow card to control the game is not a qualified referee. For UEFA, you have to be obedient as a referee, and you have to make the players obedient as a referee.

Although Michael Oliver and his ilk are blind, their professional level is still good.

At the Alvalade Stadium, the first half ended with constant arguments between the players of both sides.

Interestingly, Paulinho of Sporting CP was shown a yellow card by the referee before entering the player tunnel.

Because he was very angry that his teammate Esgayo received a yellow card, Paulinho kicked over a water tank and a billboard on the sidelines.

For such behavior, the referee will definitely not tolerate it.

In the home team's locker room, Amorim was overwhelmed!

What is going on?

Can't everyone control their emotions?

Oh my, we are behind now!

Of course, Amorim would never say these words.

The reason why players frequently receive yellow cards is that everyone in the team is very united, because everyone wants to win and is very team-oriented, so they receive yellow cards.

This kind of emotion can only be channeled now, and cannot be blamed.

In the away team's locker room, Guardiola emphasized it again.

He asked the players not to get too excited and get yellow cards.

Playing against Sporting CP is fine, and there is no problem in winning.

But what about the next stage?

If Manchester City beat Sporting CP in two rounds, then their opponents in the next stage will be Atletico Madrid or Manchester United, who are also in the upper half.

The level of Atletico Madrid and Manchester United is definitely not comparable to Sporting CP.

If Manchester City gets enough yellow cards when playing against Sporting CP, what will happen then?

What if a key player is suspended for accumulating yellow cards or red cards?

Of course, Guardiola does not mean to call it a day, and the score of 2-0 is not safe.

Sporting CP is in good shape at the beginning today, but its next state can be said to be very unstable!

So can Manchester City try to mobilize the opponent's emotions and seize the opportunity when the opponent makes mistakes in a hurry?

Soon, the short halftime break ended.

Both sides returned to the court.

Manchester City took the lead in making substitutions.

Sterling, who received a yellow card, left the court and Gundogan came on.

Manchester City changed to a 442 formation with balanced offense and defense. Guardiola wanted to defend first and then counterattack.

He threw the problem to the opponent.

Amorim also made substitutions.

But surprisingly, he did not replace the players who received yellow cards, but replaced Pedro Gonçalves, who performed mediocrely.

He was replaced by Ugarte, the future Manchester United midfielder who is better at stealing and intercepting.

In this case, Ugarte will move to the middle, with Sarabia and Paulinho as the double strikers, and Sporting Lisbon's formation will become a 3412 formation.

The game time soon came to the 53rd minute.

Sporting Lisbon got a set piece near the center circle.

Coates wanted to lift the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

But looking at the two tall guys, Ruben and Laporte, he gave up.

Coates turned around and chose to pass the ball to the left.

However, Mahrez had already seen through his idea, and the Algerian ran up and intercepted the ball in two steps!

Coates's passing speed was a bit slow, which gave the polo king a good opportunity!

Mahrez intercepted the ball without any delay, and he quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne on his right.

De Bruyne was originally in a state of accelerating and running wildly. After getting the ball, the Belgian ran even more wildly!

Before Mateus Reis came back to stretch his legs to steal the ball, De Bruyne swept his foot in front of the goal!

The little spider let the ball slip under his crotch, and Chen Chen, who followed up and inserted, did not make too many adjustments. He directly shot the ball with a burst of force!

"Bang!"

Very powerful!

Adam in front of the goal had tried his best to save the ball, but it was still useless!

"Swish!"

The ball and the net came into close contact, making a crisp and fascinating sound!

The originally noisy Alvalade Stadium suddenly fell silent.

After scoring the goal, Chen Chen rushed to the corner flag area, then slid to his knees and stood up!

Then, Chen Chen put his index finger in front of his lips.

He was signaling the Sporting CP fans to shut up!

"Chen Chen!"

"He appeared on this passing route!"

"Just kick it yourself!"

"Wuhu!"

"The ball went in!"

"3-0! Manchester City scored the third goal in Alvalade!"

"We can see that Chen Chen made a 'shut up' celebration gesture."

"I believe you have heard it before. The fans at the scene shouted Messi's name. They wanted to provoke Chen Chen."

"Unfortunately, they did not succeed in the provocation. Chen Chen did not suddenly get excited because of the ridicule and booing, and lost his calm mood!"

"He shut up the opposing players and fans with his perfect performance!"

Chen Chen's counterattack made many Sporting Lisboa fans blush and turn pale instantly.

They wanted to continue shouting "Messi" to taunt Chen Chen, but they found that when the words came to their lips, they couldn't say them at all.

Because they were afraid!

They were afraid that if they provoked Chen Chen again, Chen Chen would continue to score goals!

Of course, there is no shortage of people who don't believe in evil in this world.

At the Alvalade Stadium, countless Sporting fans once again shouted "Messi"!

This surprised Chen Chen.

It was fine if you just shouted a few times, but now you are three goals behind and still shouting "Messi" so loudly, is this really good?

This is certainly not good, but the Sporting fans at this time can no longer care about so much.

Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the counterattack is ineffective, use more goals to shut them up!
