Chapter 37 A Beat Game
Manchester City's defense cannot rely on Zhuoyang to chase back from the forward line every time to make up for the leaks. Football is not played like this, and he is not that capable.
Not to mention the forwards, it is wrong to let the center backs bear everything every time. The center backs are human beings, not the blame.
When Manchester City conceded the goal, Otamendi and Stones were indeed ruthlessly crushed by Falcao in their movements. But where did Falcao come from and why no one followed him? This is a question. As
The protective barrier in front of the central defender is something Yaya Toure needs to think about.
Toure is a good defensive midfielder, but he is not a defensive midfielder who does dirty work. As far as the defense of the throat is concerned, he likes to make one-and-done tackles. He lacks the ability of Federico and Busquets to continue to cling to others after failing to tackle them.
Defensive awareness. In the defensive midfielder position, Toure is very elegant.
This shortcoming is a very important reason why Guardiola has never liked him.
Let me tell you, Toure is more suitable to play as an attacking midfielder, but he actually does not have the ability to lead the team single-handedly in the attacking midfielder position, and needs a group of high-level teammates to support him. Toure is the best in the Ivory Coast national team
Attacking midfielder, but his performance in the national team is far inferior to that of the club.
Toure is a very outstanding b2b midfielder. In this concept, he was once ranked among the top three in the world. But his excellence must be based on having a defensive midfielder who can do the dirty work on the field and an attacking midfielder who can pass and organize.
Go for romantic b2b, this will kick out very nice personal data.
In other words, Toure has the offensive and defensive skills of a b2b midfielder, but he does not have the protagonist leadership skills necessary for b2b. He is actually a genuine role player type b2b. But if you already have the role, what else do you need for b2b.
A defensive midfielder like Toure will be basically useless once the opponent suppresses him in a targeted manner, making him afraid to cover his position defensively, and unable to use his long legs to dribble the ball and come back offensively. So Jardim is a very good player.
A coach who can hit the nail on the head can ruthlessly magnify his opponents' flaws.
In the 39th minute, Feiniao kicked down the B seat while retreating in the midfield, and Monaco got a free kick.
Fabinho suddenly fired quickly, and Mbappe turned around from Toure with a "whoosh" and went straight down. Toure was not sure, so he chased after him, but honestly speaking, his age is Mba
Twice as much as you wear, the speed is really cruel.
As the saying goes: Between two o'clock, Bell is closest.
This is exactly what Mbappe means now. When he runs, let alone the possibility of being chased by others, there is not even a chance of blocking him head-on.
After rushing into the penalty area, with Toure on the back, Mbappe volleyed directly in front of Stones and Otamendi, and hit Caballero on the head? What is the word 'quick'? People
The fastball is also fast.
A thunderbolt flashed across the night sky in Manchester, and the score became 1:2.
Is this Mbappe’s 12th goal this season? At 18 years and 63 days old, he became the second youngest scorer in the Champions League knockout rounds after Bojan.
On April 1, 2008, in the first round of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2007-08 season, Bojan went to Schalke and scored the only goal of the game. At the age of 17 years and 216 days, he became the youngest player in the history of the Champions League knockout rounds.
Football player. The person who assisted Bojan that day was Yaya Toure.
Including all games? The youngest goal scorer in the history of the Champions League? It is a little-known Ghanaian Peter Ofoliquaye, who scored a goal for Olympiacos in the 1997 Champions League.
When he scored, he was 17 years and 194 days old.
.
This conceded goal would have been enough to give Manchester City another warning, but the subsequent controversy overshadowed the warning.
In the 44th minute, Ding Ding passed the ball from the wing to the middle. Zhuoyang squeezed the ball and turned around to pass it through. Aguero suddenly formed a single goal in the penalty area.
The defender was at his wits end, but goalkeeper Subasic was quite alert. His attack was very timely.
Aguero changed the direction of the ball to the left, and Subasic lowered his waist to tackle it. The ball slipped by itself? Akun fell loudly in the penalty area.
The Manchester City people were all jubilant, but before Zhuo Yang could pull Akun up to praise him, the Laos referee couldn't wait to take out the yellow card. Did he think it was Aguero who dived? And there was no doubt about it.
But Zhuoyang saw clearly? It was indeed Subasic who kicked Aguero's foot? It was a real penalty kick.
Zhuoyang argued with the referee on the court, Guardiola jumped up and down off the court, and the crotch line of his trousers under his down coat was almost torn apart, but he still couldn't make Laos change his opinion.
There is no way to change this, unless Laos doesn't want to be involved in the refereeing world in the future.
The first half was over, and the Manchester City people were still immersed in the grievances of misjudgment, completely forgetting the hidden dangers today, and not paying much attention to the five yellow cards they received in the first half.
In order to stop Monaco's attack, Manchester City players frequently resorted to foul tactics in awkward situations. Except for Aguero, who was really unjust, four people, including Zhuo Yang, received yellow cards. Sterling will also receive a yellow card in the next game.
Monaco only had two yellows. Both Glick and Sidibe had to foul because they were defending Zhuoyang's breakthrough.
In terms of the ball possession rate that they have always been proud of, Manchester City is only 54%. Although it is still ahead of Monaco, this lead is a bit embarrassing for those who do not pass the ball or die.
"Feiniao, when attacking, lean more towards the center." Zhuo Yang warned Feiniao when he was walking out of the break.
"Lean on it, I've been leaning on it." It was obvious that Feiniao was living in a dream during this game.
Zhuo Yang originally wanted to say something to Toure, but he felt that he couldn't talk to him, and that guy was not someone who could listen to what others had to say.
In fact, Zhuoyang played very average in the first half. Affected by the offensive enthusiasm of his teammates, he always clustered in the middle after 1:0, and was keen to force a breakthrough in the crowded sea of people.
But Zhuoyang has realized this and deliberately opened up the offensive width in the second half. But the root of Manchester City's problem lies in defense.
In the 48th minute, Zhuoyang was double-teamed by Sidibe and Fabinho on the wing and passed back to Sagna.
The B seat came very quickly, and Sagna passed it back to Stones without stopping.
Stones could get the ball at his feet, but he lacked confidence due to a series of mistakes and the criticism after the mistakes during this period. He didn't want to cause more trouble for himself, so he hurriedly pushed forward to find Toure.
As a result, the football was interrupted by Mbappe in the Manchester City half.
What happened next was so simple. Mbappe made a diagonal pass to the B seat. After a single pass, the score became 1:3. Mbappe scored twice. Monaco, which has the strongest offensive firepower in the five major leagues, also completed the game.
The minimum cost to score an average goal.
Zhuo Yang was a little confused. Today's game felt so wrong.
Falling behind by two goals at home, it is impossible for Manchester City not to go crazy. The offense is even more disorganized and the defense is even more unattended.
In the 56th minute, French winger Thomas Lemar made a long pass from the backcourt, and Tiger Falcao unloaded the ball on the right side of Manchester City's empty penalty area.
Touré was not far away from him, but when he saw that Stones was already close to him, he chose to stop and watch the show.
Falcao squeezed Stones into the penalty area. Otamendi and goalkeeper Caballero came up to surround him, but Falcao, a chicken thief, used a rub shot.
When the arc of the hanging door crossed the goal line, no Zhuoyang could rush back to rescue him this time.
Chapter completed!
