On the evening of December 11, Beijing time, the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Wolves. Wolves' Mexican striker Raul Jimenez made a stupid mistake: blocking a free kick and receiving his second yellow card! At 32.2 seconds, Jimenez "applied" for a red card, leaving Wolves in a desperate situation.
In the first 15 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City scored 35 points, leading Liverpool by one point. Guardiola's Blue Moon played a wave of five consecutive Premier League wins, with Sterling, Jesus and Glallish leading City's attacking line, with B-seats, Rodri and Gundogan in midfield, while Wolves were in a 352 formation, with Jimenez and Traore pairing up as a double striker.
City had possession, but Wolves' tough defence didn't give the Blue Moon much chance. In the 28th minute, there was an unexpected scene in the game:
Manchester City passed a high ball, Wolves' Kilman and Neves competed for the top, and after the head-to-head collision, both fell to the ground! Kilman's head was bleeding profusely, and Neves fell to the ground for a long time. After the team doctor's examination, it was confirmed that the 2 people did not have concussions and other situations, and continued to participate in the game.
In the 34th minute, Sterling dribbled into the penalty area and swung his right hand in set in the face. Seth fell to the ground suddenly, covered his face, and stomped his legs straight, looking extremely painful. The Manchester City players believed Seth had a performance component, and skirmishes broke out between the two sides.
The first half was seven minutes long in stoppage time. In the 45+2nd minute, Wolves striker Raul Jimenez fouled Rodri and received a yellow card. There was nothing wrong with this yellow card: Jimenez was back-shoveling, the standard yellow card action.
However, the next scene was a surprise: Rodri opened a free kick and Jimenez did not retreat 9.15 meters. Rodri passes the ball and Jimenez reaches out to intercept! Rodri quickly raised his hand to complain to the referee, the referee was next to him, pulled out a yellow card to warn Jimenez, and the Mexican striker was sent off 2 yellow and 1 red!
The red card was too bizarre, and for Jimenez it was a stupid mistake that only amateur players make. When the opponent takes a free kick, it is common sense to retreat 9.15 meters. Jimenez stood right in front of Rodri, completely asking for trouble.
45 minutes and 51 seconds foul yellow, 46 minutes 23 seconds to block the free throw and then get a yellow card, just 32 seconds, Jimenez ate 2 yellows in a row, Wolves fell into a desperate situation. On social platforms, even Wolves fans felt speechless, complaining that Jimenez was "too stupid".
