Chapter 344 Pellegrini is absent due to illness, Manchester City coach crisis
" Ranieri is fired again, where is the tinker going? "

After the game, the focus of the major media reporters was not on the process and results of the game, but on Monaco's dismissal of its head coach.

To be honest, Ranieri is actually doing pretty well in Monaco.

At least Monaco rushed from Ligue [-] to Ligue [-] under his leadership, so it is a bit unreasonable to fire such a meritorious coach with such disrespect.

Perhaps for the Russian oligarchs, they think this is nothing, because the termination of the contract is to pay the termination fee.

Since the money has been given, it is natural to fire anyone at will!

But the problem with this matter is not the money, but the dignity of the head coach.

After Ranieri was fired, the outside world was almost critical of the gold dollar football, especially the gold dollar football from the Russian rich.

In the past few years, Chelsea's record was not good, and Abramovich frantically fired coaches, replacing six or seven head coaches in just a few years.

This kind of behavior has greatly affected Chelsea's reputation and reputation in the coaching world. Many coaches who have engaged in it will stay away from the team as soon as they hear Chelsea's name.

At the beginning, Abramovich really wanted to invite Guardiola to Stamford Bridge, but Guardiola was completely indifferent to Chelsea's invitation.

A large part of the reason for this is that Chelsea fired the team coach at every turn, leaving Guardiola with a very bad negative impression of them.

For the world's top coaches like Guardiola, they have no shortage of suitors at all, so there is no need to go to Chelsea to be angry.

Even for Mourinho, if it weren't for his failure at Real Madrid, he might not return to Chelsea so easily.

After all, Mourinho has always wanted face. It must be impossible to say that he didn't care about being fired by Abramovich at the beginning.

When the outside world criticized Monaco and Chelsea, they did not forget to pull out Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain to criticize together.

After all, when it comes to Jinyuan football, the first thing everyone thinks of are these four teams.

A reporter with good news ran to ask Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini if ​​he was worried about his coaching position?
The old man actually had such worries, but that was last year.

After leading the team to win the Champions League trophy, he has no worries in this regard.

"Hehe, if the club wants to fire me, it should be regarded as giving me an early vacation. You know, it is very tiring to lead a team to win all the time!"

The old coach is implying that his leadership performance is very good, and the team has been winning. In this case, unless the club loses its mind, it is impossible to fire him.

However, as soon as the words fell, Pellegrini was absent from Manchester City's training the next day.

"Why hasn't the coach come yet?"

"Isn't it late?"

"He is always on time, why is he suddenly late?"

When the stipulated time came, the players were all there, but Pellegrini hadn't appeared yet, which aroused the curiosity of the players.

Although the daily training can be assisted by assistant coaches even if he is not present as the head coach, the team still has a game tomorrow, the starting lineup and the tactics of the next game, all of which require him as the head coach to make sure.

In this case, his lateness naturally seemed very strange.

"Cough cough, everyone be quiet!"

After a while, an assistant coach hurried over, quieted down the players, and announced the bad news:

"Coach Pellegrini is feeling unwell and is currently undergoing an examination in the hospital. I will be in command of tomorrow's game!"

Brian is the oldest assistant coach in the Manchester City team. He acts as the interim coach, and everyone has no objections.

Anyway, it's only temporary, and coach Pellegrini will definitely recover soon.

But the coach suddenly fell ill, which made the players a little worried.

On October 10th, Brian took a large group of substitutes to play in London and went to an away game to challenge West Ham United.

This is not because Pellegrini made a temporary decision on vacation, but the rotation has been determined before.

Their main players have just finished participating in the Champions League. Under the exhaustion of the boat, the players' physical fitness and state have not yet fully recovered.

If they are allowed to play again at this time, it is likely to cause unexpected injuries.

This season, many of the main players in Manchester City's lineup have suffered injuries.

The earliest was captain Kompany. His injury was not serious, but it had a great impact on the state of the game.

Fortunately, the team still has a young player like Van Dijk who can step up, so it didn't have much impact on the team's record.

But then, the injuries of Aguero and Kroos were more fatal to Manchester City.

Aguero has always been Manchester City's starting striker, and his absence has greatly affected Manchester City's offensive power in the frontcourt.

As for Kroos, he is Manchester City's midfield metronome, the one who controls the rhythm of the game, and is also very important to the team.

The injuries of these three generals have actually sounded the alarm for Manchester City. If they don't pay attention to it, there will be more and more injuries like this.

After all, there are too many games for Manchester City this season.

All competitions add up to as many as sixty or seventy games in a single season.

Even with a rotation, each of the main players may not be able to play less than [-] games!
And many of them are very intense and high-intensity Champions League games.

This kind of intensive schedule and high-intensity competition can easily lead to a situation where the camp is full of wounded soldiers.

However, bold rotations come at a price.

In London, Manchester City was stubbornly blocked by the Hammers.

The players of West Ham United have completely shown the momentum of the London derby to deal with Manchester City in this game!
It's as if Manchester City is their life and death enemy!
This kind of treatment is usually only available to rivals Millwall in the same city, but Manchester City enjoyed it once today.

Only 12 minutes into the game, West Ham scored.

The opponent took advantage of a quick free kick and caught Manchester City by surprise.

Amalfitano helped West Ham United open the scoring and temporarily lead Manchester City 1-0.

Manchester City's players believed that the opponent's ball was suspected of being offside, but their protest was ignored by the referee.

Moreover, the foul penalty for the opponent's quick free kick is also controversial.

On the sidelines, Manchester City's interim coach Brian frowned.

The referee's home whistle in this game seemed a bit obvious, which caused Manchester City to suffer several losses.

Moreover, the young players in the substitute lineup were a bit frizzy, giving the opponent a lot of opportunities.

The lag in the score and the bias of the referee made him start to worry.

If the main players are on the field, even if the referee is a little biased, he will not have such worries.

Thinking of this, he regretted not bringing Lin Quan to the battle.

Before going to London, Lin Quan had voluntarily applied to play.

But Brian considered that the opponent had just played all the Champions League games, so he rejected his application and let him stay in Manchester with other main players to rest.

Now it seems that his decision seems to be a bit exaggerated.

If Lin Quan was on the court, the team's offensive threat would be much greater, and they would not be so passive.

Fortunately, even if it is a substitute, Manchester City's lineup should not be underestimated.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Manchester City seized the loopholes in the opponent's defense, and Milner's strong shot helped the team equalize the score.

This goal made Bryan extremely excited, and it also relieved the hearts of Manchester City's main players who were watching from the back.

Playing with a full bench lineup, if you can win, it will be perfect.

But if you can't win the victory, it is acceptable to get a point.

In this case, even if Chelsea wins, Manchester City will still lead them by one point!
A one-point lead is also a lead. Besides, Chelsea's state cannot be completely without ups and downs. It is impossible to win every game, right?
After all, in this round, Chelsea's opponent is the Red Devils Manchester United.

Although Manchester United performed poorly at the beginning of the season, they have now stepped out of the trough and won two consecutive victories. Van Gaal seems to have found the correct way to open Manchester United.

In addition, they are playing at home in this game, which makes people have a little bit of expectation for their record.

Many Manchester United fans hope that Van Gaal can seize the opportunity to beat Chelsea at home, thus narrowing the gap with the top two teams.

Beating Chelsea first, and then defeating Manchester City, this is the perfect script for the Red Devils' counterattack envisioned by many Manchester United fans!
……

In the second half, Manchester City played steadily and did not give their opponents any chances.

It's the 85th minute of the game and the score is still 1:1.
It looks like the two teams will end in a draw.

However, in the 87th minute, a penalty from the referee changed the outcome of the game.

In the 87th minute, a West Ham player dribbled the ball into the penalty area and fell to the ground.

The referee not only gave Clichy a yellow card, but also awarded a penalty.

At this point in time, a penalty kick is almost a death sentence for Manchester City!

This penalty aroused strong dissatisfaction among Manchester City players. Manchester City players on the field flocked to the referee to protest and appeal to him.

However, the referee not only did not change the penalty, but also showed Milner and Fernando each a yellow card.

It seems that he is determined to give West Ham a victory!

On the sidelines, after seeing this scene, Brian applauded the referee angrily.

Under the reminder of the fourth official, the referee ran to the sidelines and directly expelled him with a red card.

The team was awarded a penalty and the interim manager was sent off.

In this game, Manchester City was really powerless and had to swallow the bitter fruit of failure in the away game.

After the game, Clattenburg, who was refereeing the game, was slammed by Manchester City fans.

It was his several key penalties that led to Manchester City's first defeat of the season.

"The Four Blinds in the Premier League really deserve their reputation. Amalfitano's offside is so obvious that you can't see it. It's ridiculous!"

"Hehe, I think the referee should accept rice, otherwise, he wouldn't have made so many controversial penalties!"

"What is a controversial penalty? Almost all of these penalties are unfavorable to Manchester City, which is obviously suppressed by the higher authorities!"

"Could it be the Premier League?"

"Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind. Manchester City was too popular before, so people are thinking about it!"

……

After the game, Manchester City immediately filed a complaint with the FA and requested an investigation into the law enforcement record of the referee of the game.

At the same time, they used their strong financial advantages to buy a large number of media, allowing them to report on this matter in large quantities, and publicized that Manchester City was a victim.

Not to mention, under the funding and organization of the Manchester City Club, a large number of fans went to the FA office to surround and protest.

They are not the kind of team that is bullied and swallows their breath!
If everyone is playing dirty tricks like this, then just stop playing football.

Faced with huge pressure from public opinion, the FA was forced to come forward and announced that it would thoroughly investigate the matter to ensure the fairness and justice of the league.

It's enough to listen to this kind of words. With their internal mutual maintenance characteristics, they will not easily overturn the case.

What Manchester City wants is not to reverse the case, but to let the FA restrain themselves in the next game and not deliberately target them.

After all, it's not good for everyone if you tear your face apart.

The Abu Dhabi consortium is here to do business, so there has naturally been a risk assessment.

They have already collected a lot of black material from the top of the FA through private detectives, and used it as a killer at critical moments.

Once these things are exposed, these high-level officials may be ruined, and the blow to the image and reputation of the FA will also be fatal.

The team lost the game, and the mood of the players was more or less affected.

Especially coach Pellegrini's condition has not fully recovered, and there is no way to return to the team to coach for the time being.

And interim coach Brian received a red card for the applause incident in the previous game, and he will not be able to stand on the sidelines in the next round to direct.

As a last resort, Manchester City can only let another assistant coach act as an on-the-spot command.

Fortunately, in this round of competition, Manchester United can be regarded as a sigh of relief.

Although they did not win Chelsea at home, the 1:1 draw was acceptable for Manchester City.

In this way, although they lost the ball, their lead did not shrink too much, and they still maintained a 2-point lead over Chelsea.

This result seems to be better than their tie and Chelsea's win?
But in the next round, it will be Manchester City's turn to face Manchester United at home.

Considering the state of Manchester United in the last few games, especially the strength shown in the draw with Chelsea at home, this game may not be easy for Manchester City.

If they don't have so many injuries and the head coach is not absent, with Manchester City's strength, they are very confident to win this game.

The two teams had encountered each other in the International Champions Cup in North America before, when Manchester City played against Manchester United and had no power to fight back.

Although in the past 3 months, Manchester United's strength has improved, but Manchester City's advantage is still great.

But now, under the combined effect of a series of negative factors, the prospect of the next game is really a bit confusing.

Manchester United's coach Van Gaal seemed to see the opportunity to overthrow his neighbors, so he spoke publicly before the game, saying that he would lead Manchester United to beat Manchester City away and end Manchester City's winning streak against Manchester United!
