LRAB Chapter 659
Chapter 659
Manchester City's first attack after the kick-off was over.
On the side of the court, Guardiola's brows have been furrowed since the start of the game.
Because.
He found that it was not only the defensive end, but also the offensive end that seemed to be difficult to play. This Derby County team did not have any stars, and even many players had played in the Championship throughout their careers.
But.
They played very disciplined and had a positive attitude. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not give opportunities.
However, Guardiola was still optimistic about his mentality.
Because from Su Fei's one-on-one breakthrough to Cassano's penetrating oblique pass, they all proved their personal strength.
There is still a gap between this Derby County and Manchester City.
As long as.
The players can calm down and continue to attack like this, and the defensive end becomes more cautious and no longer gives Derby County a chance.
Only 1 goal behind.
Guardiola firmly believes that the team can catch up.
The next 20 minutes or so.
As long as Derby County has the ball, it still implements the strategy of passing the ball back and forth in the midfield.
On the defensive end.
Derby County found that as long as it implemented high pressure, Manchester City players would break through through their personal abilities, and began to choose a more conservative overall defensive strategy.
Manchester City side.
After the players gradually became familiar with the characteristics of Derby County's "atypical English football" style, they gradually became calm.
Facing a patient opponent.
You have to be more patient than him.
.........................................................
29th minute of the game.
Su Fei and Cassano teamed up to press Derby County midfielder Jones who was dribbling the ball.
Jones carefully sent the ball to the middle, but Modric, who suddenly rushed out, successfully intercepted the pass.
The ball was exchanged in the frontcourt.
All Derby County players retreated to defend.
Manchester City launched a massive attack.
Modric passed the ball to Mata, who changed his line and pulled to the side.
1.70 meters Juan Mata is the second-tallest man in Manchester City. Although he is short, he has the same characteristics as Knight. Fast burst of speed. Delicate footwork. Excellent field vision. Real Madrid recruited him into their youth training because of this. Mata dribbled the ball into the attacking third zone on the right. Derby County has transformed into a densely distributed positional defense in the penalty area. Right back Mills did not choose to press Mata, but left a certain distance and used his size advantage to intercept Mata's cross. Mata was very calm. He did not choose to try to break through, nor did he rashly choose to cross, but suddenly turned around and kicked the ball. He accurately found Su Fei who was in the open at this time. Yes, that's right. Cassano and Balotelli's traction in the penalty area made Derby County's return defense this time give Su Fei a short opportunity to open. This pass. It was beyond everyone's expectation.
"Mata!!"
"Reverse triangle pass back to the middle!!"
"This pass is so beautiful, it found Su Fei in the open space!!"
"Su Fei!!"
"Look how to deal with this ball!!"
"Su Fei!!"
"Just kick it out!!"
On the court, Su Fei, who had plenty of time to observe and adjust, raised his right leg and poked the bottom of the football with his toes.
This is a high lob.
The kind of high lob with a very, very steep arc.
Football.
It flew over the crowded crowd in the Derby County penalty area, passed the highest point, and began to fall.
There was chaos in the penalty area.
Players from both sides pushed each other to compete for position.
But found.
The landing point of this ball was very close to the goal.
Based on his previous game experience, Derby County goalkeeper Bywater recognized that this was a lob shot that went straight into the goal.
Take the initiative.
After the football landed at a certain position, he jumped up and swung his fist, trying to hit the ball directly.
At the same time!
A black shadow in a blue jersey rose in front of him.
Stephen Bywater, who was 1.88 meters tall, was horrified to find that Balotelli, who jumped at the same time as him, was half a body length higher than him after jumping, even though he was about the same height as him!
What kind of terrifying athletic ability is this?
There was no time for Bywater to sigh.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound almost touching the goal line.
Balotelli headed the ball in front of the goal.
Football.
It flew over Bywater's head and into the goal line.
"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"
"GGGOOOAAALLL!"
"GOAL!"
"Balotelli!"
"Balotelli!"
"Heading in front of the goal!!!"
"Equalized!!!"
"In the 30th minute of the game, Manchester City successfully equalized the score!!!"
"Wow!!!"
"This goal, Su Fei's super lob pass, is too exaggerated!"
"At this position, at the top of the penalty area, at least 20 meters away from the goal, Su Fei almost rubbed the crossbar and lobbed the ball into the goal."
"Balotelli's head rubbed in front of the goal!"
"So clever!"
"Helped this ball change its trajectory and perfectly avoided the attack of Derby County goalkeeper Bywater."
"1:1! ”
“Now the Manchester City fans in front of the TV should be able to put their minds at ease. Although the players’ form came a little late, Manchester City is still Manchester City! They successfully stabilized the mentality of falling behind at the beginning! ”
-【Comfortable, finally comfortable now. What’s more comfortable is that the person who stood up was indeed my great Su Shen. This lob was really amazing, comparable to the assist for a goal!】
-【Wow, did you see Balotelli’s jump just now? It’s so exaggerated. He is about the same height as the opposing goalkeeper, but he jumped up and surpassed the opponent by two heads!】
-【I saw it! This kid is worthy of being the black youth version of Su Fei. Although his header is not as violent as Su Fei, his ability to stand and fight for the ball is beyond reproach!】
-【To be honest, Derby County’s performance today was indeed surprising. But sorry, this is Manchester City’s first home game of the new season! In the end, it must be our Manchester City who wins! Score one more! Overtake the score!】
................................................................
Back, all back.
With Su Fei’s lob to the goal and assisting Balotelli to score a header, the 58,000 fans in the stands of the Etihad Stadium returned to their faces before the start of the game.
“Su! ! ”
“Su! !”
“Su! !”
The goal was scored by Balotelli, but there were still many fans shouting Su Fei’s name.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see who had more credit for this goal. Of course, it all came down to the preference of Manchester City fans for Su Fei.
As for Balotelli.
At this time, he did not feel dissatisfied or unhappy because of the fans shouting Su Fei’s name. Instead, he took the initiative to grab Su Fei’s arm beside him and lifted it up high.
Su Fei was surprised.
Who said that this brain is world-class? This wave of social etiquette is full of.
The cheers in the stands became louder and louder!
On the other side.
The grumpy Derby County coach Billy Davis entered the “angry ram” mode.
“David! ! Dean! !”
“What the hell are you two doing! !”
“Hey hey hey! !”
“Su! !” ”
“That’s the fucking Ballon d’Or winner! !”
“Why? !”
“Can anyone tell me why no one defends him? !”
“Why!! !”
Billy Davis’ face was as red as when the team scored a goal just now. His angry roar made many Manchester City players on the bench look sideways.
Ahem.
Knight, who was sitting on the bench today, glanced at his head coach Guardiola who was in a stable mood in front of him and touched his nose.
Compare.
Although this head coach seemed unkind when they met at that time, he now looks more and more pleasing to the eye.
