I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 992
In the middle of the week, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City played at home against bloomers West Bromwich Albion.
As soon as the game opened, West Bromwich Albion went against the guest and launched a fierce press against Manchester City.
This is a fact that is known throughout Europe, that is, Manchester City has been very tired from long-term multi-line combat.
The advantage is that the team has achieved good results on all four fronts, and the morale of the players is very high, but the disadvantage is that the body is really exhausted, and the state of some players fluctuates greatly. Even if the team rotates, it is still difficult to change this situation.
The bloomers coach Hodgson knew this and dared to take the initiative to pressure Manchester City.
Not to mention, he really grabbed the initiative at the Etihad Stadium and created a very threatening offensive, creating chaos in Manchester City’s penalty area, but in the end, he was replaced by the bench. Joe Hart fought hard to save.
Joe Hart’s strength is unquestionable. Even if he loses his main position in Manchester City, he is still the main goalkeeper in the England national team. His strength can be seen. It is a pity that Courtois performed too much in Manchester City. Stabilized.
Because of this, everyone in the team knows that Joe Hart will basically leave this summer.
He wants to stabilize the position of the national team’s main goalkeeper, it is impossible to continue to sit on the bench in Manchester City.
Therefore, the Manchester City technical team is also intensively looking for experienced substitute goalkeepers to prepare for the new season.
Even if he wanted to leave the team, Joe Hart still showed his best performance in training and games.
This is not only because he came from a direct line of Manchester City, but also because he knows very well that this is his stepping stone to the next team.
…
West Bromwich Albion created chaos in the Manchester City penalty area and almost reached a goal. Manchester City began to stabilize the position, especially the pass in the backfield.
In the end, bloomers are an away game, and even if you want to grab a wave, you have to think about behind yourself.
Especially in this game, Manchester City arranged for Su Dong to start.
Hodgson’s team did consider this. Their pre-match arrangement was to grab a five-minute opening and score if you can score. If you can’t score, it can disrupt the rhythm of Manchester City and make this game relatively better. .
Unexpectedly, Manchester City would not give them five minutes at all.
In just four minutes and thirty-three seconds, after Manchester City’s midfielder stole the ball, Tony Kroos took the ball on the right side of the center line, glanced forward, sent a long pass, and landed precisely in the penalty area of West Bromwich Albion. Arc top.
In the hands of the West Bromwich Albion defenders, Su Dong quickly countered offside successfully and stopped the ball in the top area of the arc.
I saw Tony Cross’s long pass of nearly fifty meters. When it touched Su Dong’s right foot, it seemed to be stuck with glue, and landed directly against the back of his instep, without even the slightest rebound. .
“Oh my God, this stop is so handsome, so beautiful!!”
There was a burst of crazy cheers on the scene.
Su Dong stopped the ball, and before the attacking goalkeeper approached, he took another volley with his right foot.
The ball passed over the head of the attacking goalkeeper and fell into the goal behind him.
One to zero!
The audience cheered.
Nearly 50,000 Manchester City fans screamed frantically, calling out the name of Su Dong.
Su Dong quickly ran to the sidelines, still kissing the wedding ring on his left hand, and pointed at Wang Chuqing in the stands.
The whole world knows that after the end of this season, Su Dong will get married.
Recently, many media have been speculating about his wedding scene. Before that, it was revealed that Su Dong had directly wrapped up a small island in the Middle East, which was quite a masterpiece.
…
As Su Dong scored, Manchester City began to enter the rhythm of the game.
Not only does the team’s passing and control organization become more stable and firm, but the advantage on the court is also becoming more and more obvious.
Especially when the game was in the fourteenth minute, West Bromwich Albion advanced to the half-time with an attack, but Manchester City’s midfielder managed to steal the ball through tight press and pressure, and Marcelo left on the left. Before dribbling the ball, he launched the offensive and passed the ball to Di Maria in the frontcourt.
The Argentine winger got the ball and then crossed it. Su Dong stopped the ball and turned around. After getting rid of the defender, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area and suddenly kicked up outside the penalty area and shot a long shot 20 meters away.
This long shot was very sudden, powerful enough, and the angle was tricky, and after entering the big penalty area, there was an acceleration after landing and rebounding at the front of the small penalty area, making the ball faster and more urgent.
The ball directly rubbed the left post and flew into West Bromwich’s goal, two to zero!
Scored twice!
…
After a two-goal lead, the game completely entered the rhythm of Manchester City.
West Bromwich Albion also quickly changed his strategy, adopting a guarded attitude.
But even so, Manchester City still knocked on West Bromwich’s goal again in the 37th minute.
This is after Sanchez dribbled the ball on the right, and suddenly passed back to the right defender. Sabaletta inserted to the right side of the penalty area and crossed to the penalty area to find a teammate. As a result, the central defender Dawson headed out.
However, this kick to clear the siege was far too high and fell at the front of the big penalty area.
Su Dong rushed out of the penalty area and clashed with West Bromwich’s delayed midfielder Murumba. He forced a physical confrontation to squeeze the opponent away. After stopping the ball with his left foot into the penalty area, he caught up with him. The center defender Dawson was deducted and he hit again with his left foot.
The ball goes straight into the right side of the goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!”
“hat trick!”
“Su Dong performed a hat-trick in less than forty minutes in the first half, leading Manchester City three to zero!”
This time, Su Dong rushed to the sidelines and celebrated excitedly.
All Manchester City players also chased out and celebrated the goal with him.
The entire Etihad Stadium is cheering Su Dong’s name.
…
After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City continued to maintain their offensive against West Bromwich Albion.
In the 55th minute, Su Dong was replaced early.
This weekend, Manchester City will go south to London to challenge Tottenham Hotspur away.
This is the focus of the FA Cup semi-final. If it can reach the FA Cup final, then Manchester City will undoubtedly be one step closer to the Triple Crown, and if they win the Triple Crown for two consecutive seasons, Manchester City’s strength will be completely stabilized. NS.
From now on, when everyone mentions Manchester City in the Premier League, it should no longer be a nouveau riche or mercenary.
Moreover, the Champions League also reached the semi-finals.
Despite the lack of background, the further Manchester City moves forward, the greater the risk and the greater the pressure.
But in the semi-finals, Manchester City must also want to fight, strive to be able to enter the finals, and even win the championship.
Once successful, Manchester City will become the sixth team ever to win the championship for the first time.
This is not only the honour of Manchester City, but also the honour of all Manchester City players and fans.
Whether it is for the huge bonuses offered by the club or for the players’ careers, Manchester City will definitely work hard.
…
Although Sudong was replaced, Aguero, who came off the bench, also performed very well, scoring two goals, helping Manchester City finally beat West Bromwich 5-0 at home.
Tottenham Hotspur, opponents of the FA Cup at the weekend, lost to Norwich at home 1-2 in this round.
Now the situation in the Premier League has become more interesting.
To some extent, Norwich has helped Manchester City a lot.
Tottenham Hotspur fell to fourth in the Premier League after losing at home, and Newcastle, who was originally fifth in the Premier League, has also performed well in recent times and has improved by leaps and bounds. Now the points of the two teams are the same.
In other words, Tottenham may be kicked out of the top four in the league at any time by Newcastle or Chelsea.
Redknapp is now facing a big problem, that is, should he do his best to fight for the FA Cup?
The FA Cup is of course very important, but in contrast, the top four in the league are more real benefits, which can ensure that the team will earn more than 10 million pounds in next season, which is equivalent to buying one more first-line star. .
May I ask, who can refuse such a temptation?
The top four in the league are at stake, and the FA Cup is imminent. For a team like Tottenham Hotspur, it is really difficult to take care of both sides. After all, the thickness of the lineup is there and they cannot afford to be like Manchester City. With such a huge lineup, in the end it is very likely that both hands will be grabbed, but both hands will be empty and nothing will be gained.
More importantly, in the FA Cup, Tottenham’s opponent is Manchester City.
From Guardiola’s early replacement of Sutton, it is not difficult to see that Manchester City is also determined to win the FA Cup, and they have a strong enough lineup to ensure two fronts. Tottenham Hotspur is sure to grab the final from Manchester City. right?
Therefore, after the game, many media have made suggestions to Redknapp, believing that Tottenham Hotspur should do its best to ensure the top four in the league, rather than continue to be distracted by the FA Cup.
After all, the FA Cup is just an honor. I’m happy to get it, but the bonus is pitifully small.
But the top four in the league are different. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com’s broadcast share and game bonus of the Champions League alone are more than 10 million pounds, plus the extra game day income. This is a sum that no team can give up. Fortune, especially for teams like Tottenham Hotspur, is more eager.
If it’s like before, Tottenham are in third place in the league and it’s okay to hug the top four. It must be the FA Cup, but now, the top four are in danger. If you lose the top four in the league for this reason, it’s really a pick. Sesame, losing the watermelon is not worth the loss.
Regarding external voices, Tottenham Hotspur declined to comment. Redknapp said in an interview with the media that Tottenham will not give up any front and will still go all out in the FA Cup. He believes that hot The stabbing player has the ability to snipe Manchester City at home.
Whether this is Redknapp’s aspirations or the official rhetoric that he deliberately released, no one knows. Only after the game can we truly understand Redknapp’s choice.
After all, even if he really wanted to give up, Redknapp couldn’t speak out.
Besides, I encourage you now. What if Tottenham’s substitutes break out and there is a sudden wave of upsets, killing Manchester City at home, and bringing surprises to everyone?
