Manchester City rejoices after Christmas twist

January 4, 2017 09:06

(Baonghean.vn)- Manchester fans were able to drink beer to celebrate the important victory at the end of the 'Christmas turn' of the two blue and red clubs. Both Man City and Man United won but the emotions were completely different.

After 3 consecutive wins in the "Christmas turn", MU was "energized" by referee Mike Dean at the Olympic Stadium, while the Blue half of Man City, the fans were also satisfied with their players, despite losing troops, still got 3 points.

The two Manchester teams have won 15/18 points after 3 tough rounds, so why not be happy?

In round 20, the Red half of Manchester landed at the home team West Ham when they were in excellent form, Man United won their 5th consecutive victory in the Premier League. If we consider it broadly, they have had 12 consecutive unbeaten matches in all competitions, it seems that coach Mourinh has found the "formula" for victory for the "red devils". The turning point of the match was the red card that referee Mike Dean "gave" to West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli. West Ham spectators thought that Phil Jones had dived in a 50/50 dispute.

The tackle caused West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli to receive a straight red card from referee Mike Dean.

It is worth mentioning that 3 minutes later, it was Lingard's turn to have a dangerous tackle with Kouyate similar to Feghouli's tackle with Phil Jones, but referee Mike Dean did not issue any penalty cards. This made coach Bilic angry and he shouted on the sidelines, while the West Ham audience booed loudly in the stands.

With the game 10-on-11, on the Olympic pitch, West Ham players steadfastly resisted Man United's waves, while in the stands, fans stood up and sang "Mike Dean, it's all about you". If singing did not prevent Mata from scoring a 1-0 lead, then mocking referee Mike Dean only made the referee recognize Ibrahimovic's next goal as offside.

In fact, if he had taken advantage of the opportunity, the match score could have been higher, but that was enough for coach Mourinho to approach the record (7 consecutive matches in all competitions) since January 2014, when he was still leading Chelsea.

It seems that Mou is taking the red team in the right direction, bringing fans into heart-stopping emotions when they know how to make a last-minute comeback, know how to create improvisation and meet the requirements of playing well and winning beautifully of loyal fans.

With Man City,They just lost at Liverpool and Guardiola's team is very hungry for victory. Although Man City has been unbeaten in the last 28 home matches in the Premier League (won 25, drawn 3), the Blues of Manchester fans cannot help but worry.

The home game against Burnley was considered a good opportunity for Man City to win three points, but the home team did not start smoothly. Coach Guardiola decided to rotate the squad, Iheanacho was in the starting lineup instead of Aguero. If the Red Devils benefited from the red card the referee gave to their opponents, the Blues were full of courage when Fernandinho received a red card in the 32nd minute. The Brazilian midfielder, who was captain in this match, was shown a red card by referee Lee Mason after a dangerous two-footed tackle on Burnley's Johann Berg.

This is the third red card that Fernandinho has received after the last 6 matches in all competitions. He is also the first Man City player to receive 2 red cards in the Premier League in 1 season since the 2011-12 season. The previous person to receive this "honor" was "wild horse" Mario Balotelli.

With a numerical disadvantage, Man City made two changes in attack, with David Silva and Aguero coming on for Navas and Iheanacho, and they had 61% possession. The lurking play made Man City more dangerous and they scored two goals before Ben Mee headed Burnley back 1-2 from a left-wing corner. Guardiola's army has 42 points and is in 3rd place.

The Premier League is more exciting than ever, Conte is still leading Chelsea to the top of the table, Mancity is ranked 3rd with 7 points less while MU is ranked 6th, however, with the current form, the championship race will be very dramatic; with their true personality and class, Mou and Pep certainly will not stand still and watch Conte alone reach the finish line....
