Although someone once wrote an article criticizing John Mortensen as a clown who often laughs and makes noises like horses.
He also said that he couldn't commentate on football games at all and could only recite a lot of boring statistics.
But none of these can stop this good nobleman from becoming the darling of England fans and the ace of BBC TV.
At this moment, this old gentleman is sitting in the media area of the stands of Manchester City's City Stadium.
The game is about to start.
It can be clearly seen that the captains of the two teams have finished guessing and are ready to walk back to their own half.
There are a total of three Europa League games tonight.
The kickoff at 18 o'clock is Manchester United vs.
Athletic Bilbao, and Manchester City vs.
Sporting Lisbon.
Southampton's away game against Valencia is two hours later than these two games.
Everyone knows that the BBC TV station has a feud with Manchester United, so it chose this Manchester City game and arranged it to be broadcast live on Channel 1, which has the largest audience and ratings.
The later match between Southampton and Valencia will be scheduled to be broadcast on Sports Channel.
The BBC is not optimistic about this game.
Southampton was held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia at home, which not only gave the Bats an away goal, but at the same time, the team's top central defender Javi Martinez was sent off due to a red card.
This Spanish star is the most eye-catching performance in Southampton's defense this season, and he is also the most general-like.
The limelight even overshadowed that of Southampton who has played in the team for two years and has the title of number one star of hope.
Varane.
Javi Martinez's red card suspension will undoubtedly be a major blow to Southampton's defense.
Moreover, it is an away game and one away goal behind, which is really an added blow to Southampton.
Therefore, BBC TV station and almost all media have focused their attention on the Manchester duo.
Among them, the one with the highest expectations is undoubtedly Mancini's Manchester City.
With a gathering of stars and superior strength, Manchester City and Manchester United are very close to each other in the Premier League standings this season, and both hope to win the championship.
This also makes people look forward to it.
I hope that Manchester City can stand out from the crowd and turn the tide when the Premier League is full of controversy.
John Mortensen thought of this and took a deep breath.
He reached out and touched his gray hair.
During the game commentary, he no longer had the time or energy to pay attention to them.
After he calmed down, he raised his hand towards his colleague in the distance and nodded.
The latter was gesturing towards him, counting the seconds.
"Viewers, welcome to watch the live broadcast on BBC TV for you.
From the 2011 season to the 2012 season, the Europa League top 16 knockout round, the second leg, I am John Mortensen, and I am currently watching Manchester’s City Stadium, live broadcast for everyone”
Following John Mortensen's opening remarks, the entire City Stadium burst into deafening cheers.
With a crisp whistle from the referee, this much-anticipated battle finally kicked off.
"Now we see that the first to kick off is the away team, Sporting Lisbon from Portugal."
"It was Sporting Lisbon's midfielder, Fernandez, who had the ball."
"It was passed to the Spanish player Capel on the wing.
This player was once very popular in Sevilla."
"After the opening game, Sporting Lisbon didn't seem to be playing conservatively even though they were playing away from home."
"Hey, Manchester City made a tackle in the backcourt.
Kompany calmly intercepted the ball and handed it to David Silva."
"David Silva passed the ball again to Yaya Toure, and then passed it to Balotelli who was pulled to the wing."
"Balotelli is very bold in making moves and wants to force a breakthrough."
The entire city stadium once again rang with deafening shouts.
Manchester City fans want this kind of voice to cheer for their team.

But this time, Balotelli failed to pose a threat.
"Man City won a corner kick and David Silva took it."
"The penalty was sent to the penalty area, and Sporting Lisbon's defensive player pushed the ball out, and it was another corner kick."
"It's David Silva who takes the penalty.
It falls into the penalty area and Kompany heads the ball."
"Oops, it's a little high."
“Although Manchester City’s first attack failed to score the opponent’s goal, the fans of the home team were still very excited.”
"It can be seen that Manchester City has adjusted well."
"As the game progressed, Manchester City controlled the ball smoothly and had a high ball possession rate.
Sporting Lisbon did not have many chances to get the ball.
Once the defense was successful, they would directly kick the ball after stealing the ball and look for center Van Wolfe in front.
Swinkel.”
"Our statistics show that in the first fifteen minutes, Manchester City had an overwhelming advantage, with a ball possession rate of 70%.
This is a very shocking figure."
"Except for Sporting Lisbon having some initiative in the opening game, they were basically passively beaten."
"Now let's see if Manchester City can effectively attack Sporting Lisbon's goal."
As the commentary progressed, after the fast-paced suppression after the opening, Manchester City gradually exposed its problems.
Sporting Lisbon was obviously well prepared for this game.
They were playing away from home and arranged five players in the midfield.
This is a very obvious tactical attitude, that is, defensive counterattack
Although Manchester City's attack was very powerful, there were very few opportunities.
The thunder was loud but the rain was small.
Facing Sporting Lisbon's tenacious defense, Manchester City could not find any effective offensive opportunities.
After being unable to attack for a long time, Manchester City panicked.
After decades of commentating on professional leagues, John Mortensen quickly figured out the signs.
"Manchester City started to play a little anxiously and should be more patient.
Yaya Toure and Pizarro started to advance forward frequently.
This is not a good sign."
"Mancini should quickly stabilize the players.
We are only one goal behind now.
There are still many opportunities.
There is no need to be anxious.
If you play slowly and steadily, Manchester City has great hope.
But if you are anxious and are attacked by your opponent, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
But it seems that Mancini has no intention of making adjustments.
He wants to eat his opponent in one bite But when the game reached the 33rd minute, Sporting Lisbon stole the ball in the backcourt and kicked it to Capel on the wing.
The Spaniard quickly counterattacked with the ball along the wing.
Manchester City's defense was too high and they had to retreat in a hurry.
"Sporting Lisbon counterattacked very quickly and the center has already caught up."
"Van Wolfswinkel takes the ball and passes it to Ismailov, straight pass" "It's dangerous, Fernandez.
Get the ball in the penalty area, kick it, and the ball goes in."
"In the 33rd minute, in the 33rd minute, Sporting Lisbon made a quick counterattack.
Fernandez entered the penalty area and scored with a low shot, one to zero."
"Manchester City, Manchester City paid the most painful price for their careless advance."
"The total score is now 2-0, and another away goal has been conceded.

Manchester City must now score three goals to advance."
At this moment, the entire city stadium fell into deathly silence. three balls To score three goals how is this possible Just now everyone believed that Manchester City could defeat Sporting Lisbon at home.
But who would have thought that a goal from the other side would completely pull Manchester City back from heaven to hell.
God why What the hell is going on
Not only the Manchester City fans at the City Stadium, but also all the fans waiting in front of the TV are feeling depressed and lost.
The live broadcast room at the BBC TV headquarters was also in chaos.
"What's going on, how did Mancini manage to score a goal?"
"Holy shit, Manchester City are such losers" "They can't stand the pressure at the critical moment.
What do they do for food?"
Roger Moses first realized something was wrong.
"No, if the game develops like this, Manchester City is finished."
Barbara Slater, director of the sports department's program group, couldn't help but nod, "It's really hard.
I couldn't attack for a long time, but I was sneaked into a goal.
It hurt morale.
Now Manchester City needs to score three goals to advance.
The chance is too great."
It’s slim” "The most important thing is that the mood of the players has changed" Roger Moses’ words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.
"So what do we do now?"
Barbara Slater also felt depressed.
Why did the chain fall off at the critical moment?
You know, now fans all over England, and even Premier League fans around the world, are eagerly waiting for you to step forward, be the savior of the Premier League, and help the Premier League building to collapse.
But you're lucky.
Playing at home, with such a huge advantage, you actually dropped the ball.
“Hopefully Mancini can turn the situation around” Roger Moses doesn’t have a good idea either.
He can't replace the team in the game, what can he do?
But as soon as these words were said, less than five minutes later, Manchester City was impatient and committed a foul while defending, giving Sporting Lisbon a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.
Fernandez took the penalty and center Van Wolfswinkel hit the header.
Two to zero Suddenly, the entire BBC headquarters live broadcast room was filled with mourning.
"It's over, it's over, this time it's really over" "It's only been 40 minutes, two goals have been conceded, the total score is 3-0, Manchester City is completely finished."
According to the current score, Manchester City must score at least four goals "Damn it, such a good card and such a good opportunity were thrown away by Manchester City."
Roger Moses slapped his head hard and walked around in the live broadcast room.
"Yes, Manchester United, what is the current score of Manchester United?"
As soon as Roger Moses shouted, someone immediately extracted the information about this game in Bilbao, Spain.
"One to zero" "Who scored the goal?"
Roger Moses was excited.
He seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
But soon, his fire of hope was completely extinguished.
"Llorente, in the 22nd minute, opened the scoring for Athletic Bilbao" Everyone in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded.
There is no hope for Manchester City.
Who would have thought that Manchester United would be so useless?
Ferguson's team has always been the vane of English football, but this time, when he was needed, he actually withered.
They lost 2-3 in the first round and gave Athletic Bilbao three away goals.
Now the total score has expanded to 2 to 4.
If Manchester United wants to reverse the situation, they must score three goals.
Three balls How big is the hope of scoring three goals against the Basque Lions at the home stadium of Athletic Bilbao?

The first half of the game ended quickly.
Everyone was dejected.
I believe that at this moment, countless England fans are wailing.
If they want to advance, Manchester City must score four goals in the second half and Manchester United must score three goals.
Judging from the performance of these two teams in the first half, is it possible?
Everyone knows that the answer is impossible Roger Moses sobered up quickly and immediately realized a problem.
"Quick, do we have anyone in Valencia" Barbara Slater also reacted quickly.
Yes, with Manchester City and Manchester United being eliminated one after another, Southampton has become the last remaining hope for success in the English League's European war.
Although there is little hope, the suspense is still there.
At this time, the game between Southampton and Valencia will be broadcast live, and the ratings will definitely be high.
But the problem is that the BBC focused on Manchester City and Manchester United before the game and did not arrange anyone to go to Southampton.
The two games were separated by two hours.
In other words, as soon as the Manchester City and Manchester United game is over, the Southampton game is about to start.
"Find a way, is there anyone in Valencia?"
Roger Moses was going crazy.
Barbara Slater was also racking her brains, and suddenly a person flashed in her mind.
"Yes, she must be with Southampton":
