Chapter 29 The King as Always
"The best way to defeat your opponent is to attack!"
"Either Manchester United nor Manchester City want a draw. Both sides want to get three points in this game. Ferguson wants to get three points to narrow the gap with Manchester City, while Manchester City wants to beat Manchester United to open the gap."
Manchester City took the lead in kicking off, but after Messi got the ball, he was quickly cut down by Schweiingsteiger and Schneiderlin. The referee did not have a deck, but just verbally warned Schweiingsteiger that it seemed that the referee's call was relatively loose.
“Good,”
“Beautiful job.”
Manchester United fans shouted in the stands, applauding Schweinsteiger. They would rather knock Messi down on a foul than let Messi rush over. Before Messi got up, Yaya Toure, the big boss, rushed over and pushed him in front of Schweinsteiger. It seemed that he was about to fight. The Germans were not at all stage frightened and pushed him back with their chests. But even so, the referee still forced them to separate. This is a normal confrontation in the Derby, and neither side will be stage frightened.
Messi stood up and served quickly!
Sterling inserted from the left and quickly got the ball.
This scene was too sudden, and the Manchester United players were a little confused. There was no time to stop Sterling. Sterling actually took a single shot because the referee played cards, such sneak attacks were allowed. If you see Messi playing too much, you will find that this situation is quite common, and the sneak attack was successful!
Sterling took the ball and faced De Gea. De Gea was crying but still rushed out bravely, and then rushed to Sterling's feet. Sterling tried to walk to the right, but after hesitating for a moment, De Gea still caught the ball with his left hand. The ball bounced away from Sterling's feet and rolled to Jones' feet. Jones was still shocked and cleared the ball with a big foot. How dare he stick it!
"Oh! Manchester United almost lost the ball. Messi was too cunning. While everyone was still controversial, he suddenly drove the ball out. Unfortunately, Sterling was not good at doing well. This is not sure about me of such a single shot, but Sterling cannot blame him. This is his routine operation. After all, the lower the difficulty, the more difficult he can score, and the higher the difficulty the goal, maybe he will score easily." Leinker immediately blackened Sterling, and he did not look forward to Sterling. This main striker of the national team has never been reliable.
"If this goal is obtained by Aguero, it will definitely be in. Unfortunately, Aguero was helping Messi just now."
Manchester United escaped a thrilling disaster, while Dong Fangzhuo glanced at Messi. Of course he was very familiar with this scene. He had been fucked by Messi before, but later Dong Fangzhuo also fucked it back...
Manchester United took back the ball and fell in the midfield and backcourt. Manchester City did not press too far. Basically, they started pressing from near the center line. After all, there was only one Dong Fangzhuo in front, and Demikelis and Mangala were staring around Dong Fangzhuo, and Yaya Toure was in front. It was not so easy to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo did not retreat. He was at the front and wanted to hold Manchester City's back defense, especially Yaya Toure. This highly aggressive veteran is the hub for offense and defense conversion.
Manchester United finally hit the ball to the right, and Mata tried to send the ball to the back point through Dong Fangzhuo's pull, but Di Maria failed to catch up, and the ball was pushed out of the sideline by Sania. It was still Manchester United's ball. Luke Xiao tried to directly throw a deep water bomb to find Dong Fangzhuo in the penalty area, but after the ball fell into the penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo was surrounded and could not touch the ball at all. Yaya Toure pushed the ball out in front of him.
Messi was quite active. He got the ball in front of the penalty area, then cleverly pulled and dunked, and got rid of Blind's entanglement. He dribbled the ball and killed it. Aguero and Sterling opened space for him on both sides, took Schneider and flew over, but Messi accelerated again, dodged lightly, and rushed forward with a fierce drive!
"pretty!"
"Messi!"
When I was riding alone for a thousand miles, Messi was as fierce as a tiger. No one could stop him. At the critical moment, Messi had just rushed through the midfield. Schneiderlin rushed from the side and back with all his strength. He shoveled down from the side regardless of the thirty-one. This kick was quite impulsive. If he was not careful, he would directly shovel on Messi's foot, but if he was not sure, he would not dare to do this. His legs were long! His right foot still touched the ball, but Messi also fell down at the same time.
Beep,
The whistle sounded again. Despite the tackle, the referee still ordered Schneiderlin to foul and gave a yellow card. Messi rolled on the ground for a long time before getting up. Maybe he knew that Schneiderlin would definitely get the cards if he did this. As the man on this planet who has been tackled the most every week, he has more experience in this area than any player.
After successfully getting Schneiderling to get a yellow card, Messi was unable to successfully attack this time. Manchester United did not protest. Everyone knew what was going on with this foul. Everyone immediately retreated and could no longer allow Manchester City to attack. Who knew what kind of set ball Manchester City would play? Ferguson's shouting on the sidelines was clearly visible.
Manchester City's offense turned into a positional battle. Messi's surroundings were always the most important. After taking the ball from Silva who was in front, he gave Aguero a straight pass. Smalling almost couldn't follow him. When Aguero received the ball, he just pulled back with his heel. Smalling staggered and almost lost his center of gravity. Fortunately, Schweinsteiger blocked Aguero from the outside in time. It would be difficult for Aguero to make moves again, because Manchester United players have all returned. As he had no choice, Aguero habitually handed the ball to Messi like in the national team, and took Schneiderlin and snatched the ball in front of Messi.
This is how it is about playing football around Messi. Everyone knows that he will pass the ball to Messi. The best way is naturally to break the ball before it reaches Messi's feet, but it is often hard to come by at this time.
After Schneiderling took a step, he immediately handed the ball to Di Maria on the left. Di Maria faced Fernandinho, first shook his ankles gently, and then suddenly accelerated to the outside. Fernandinho couldn't keep up directly. He just used his speed to instantly use Fernandinho in seconds. When Sarnia just came up, Di Maria accelerated and cut inward, not giving Sarnia a chance to tighten. At the same time, Dong Fangzhuo quickly approached Di Maria, trying to narrow the distance with him. Manchester City's defense line immediately moved, but Di Maria suddenly passed by a cross!
The ball reached Mata's feet! Mata was stuffed again! Lingard inserted it and shot his right foot near the corner.
boom--
A perfect anti-aircraft gun. This ball was so outrageous that it fully inherited the fine tradition of England international shooting.
"Oh, Lingard, and Sterling are such a perfect couple. Alas, this shooting method is not as good as the Husky in my house." Reinkell almost burst out laughing. Both Sterling and Lingard were ridiculed by him.
Manchester United fans in the stands covered their faces and did not dare to flatter Lingard's shot. This guy is OK to run and work hard, but the shot is too bad.
Both sides lost a good shot opportunity.
Afterwards, both sides were silent for more than two minutes, and then Manchester City launched an attack with Messi. Messi got the ball in the middle and quickly played two-pass one with Spanish international Silva. He immediately pushed forward behind Valencia. Sterling broke into the penalty area at high speed on the left and made a cross. Aguero threw away Smalling, stopped the ball in the middle and volleyed with his left foot. Manchester City missed the opportunity again.
Both sides played very patiently and tried to achieve an offensive success rate. Although Manchester United stocked up five midfielders in the midfield, they gradually lost their power and began to focus on defense. However, it was difficult for Manchester City to surpass Manchester United's defense. Dong Fangzhuo rarely came back to get the ball, and the midfield battle was very fierce. In just fifteen minutes, Manchester United had contributed eight fouls, and the foul rate was already very high, while Manchester City only had three. This comparison shows Manchester United's technical disadvantage.
Messi was knocked down several times when he wanted to get the ball in the middle and the foul was far away from the goal, so it was difficult to directly attack. Until the 18th minute, Messi took the ball in the middle and attracted the defense of three players, and then gave the autumn equinox to Sterling as soon as possible. Sterling made the ball with his heel, Silva made a cross from the left, and the ball found Aguero again. Aguero shot strongly from the far point and was blocked by De Gea with his feet!
Soon, Manchester City made a high-quality group attack, which made Manchester United's defense seem unreliable at all.
Manchester City won the first corner kick opportunity in the game.
Silva then took a corner kick from the right, and Fernandinho headed the ball high...
"Manchester City has gradually demonstrated their home advantage. They have not shown such dominance last year, but this year they played great against Manchester United. Although Sterling is not good at shooting, he still plays a big role in attacking the sidelines."
Leinkele still affirmed Sterling's role and pointed out that Manchester City's great progress, but he attributed the credit to Messi. "Of course, if Messi had not had the slurred effect on the court, such an offense would be difficult to play. Messi could attract the defense of several players by himself, which would make Manchester United's defense look empty. In order to defeat Dong, he made a great sacrifice today. Although he still occupied the quota for the striker, he actually often came back to play in the midfield and connected the team. Messi who did not score goals was also very terrible. Perhaps for the sake of victory, he would sacrifice the opportunity to score goals and fulfill his teammates."
Gradually, Leinkele also began to fall in love with Messi.
Manchester United counterattacked, and Dong Fangzhuo finally protected the ball near the center line. Demikalis tried to squeeze Dong Fangzhuo from behind, hoping to make Dong Fangzhuo lose his physical balance, but he couldn't squeeze at all. Instead, when he squeezed, Dong Fangzhuo pulled the ball lightly and half turned around and turned half a circle from his right side. Demikalis lost his balance. When another central defender Mangala rushed over, Dong Fangzhuo took more than a meter to the left like a loach, and pulled his right foot casually, avoiding Mangala's encirclement.
Bang,
He elegantly sent the ball to the left, and Di Maria came up tacitly. Following him was Sarnia. Sarnia tried to block Di Maria's position with her physical advantage, but Di Maria first stretched out her right foot and stabbed her. The man staggered twice and stood up again, and continued to rush towards the ball!
Di Maria caught up with the ball on the left! But Yaya Toure, who was strode back and forth to defend, quickly blocked the inside and forced him to drive the ball to the bottom line. On the other side, Dong Fangzhuo and Lingard rushed into Manchester City's penalty area at the same time. Now they can only choose Di Maria to get rid of Yaya Toure's entanglement.
The ball was under Di Maria's left foot, and the left foot shook slightly. The original inside of the foot was controlled, but suddenly it turned into a push of the outside instep. The ball actually crawled under Yaya Toure's crotch. The tall Yaya Toure's reaction was definitely not as good as Yaya Toure. Di Maria went around from the other side and got the ball again. Fortunately, Sarnia had rushed back just now and stood on the wing of the penalty area again.
Bang,
Di Maria passed the ball backwards to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo and Fernandinho rushed towards the ball at the same time, but suddenly turned half of their bodies, stood at the position first, and passed Fernandinho. Fernandinho did not expect that Dong Fangzhuo would play like this, and he lost control and could only land in front of Dong Fangzhuo. At this moment, Dong Fangzhuo swiveled in a Marseille, turned 270 degrees and pulled the ball in front of him again.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Demikalis. Without giving Demikalis time to think, Dong Fangzhuo immediately accelerated to the right, and the angle of the shot came out in an instant. He immediately raised his foot and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Bang-
The ball flew over from the right side of another central defender, Mangala. That's why he hit the right side because he wanted to use Mangala's body to block the sight of goalkeeper Hart.
When Hart reacted, he was indeed half a beat slower. When he fell down, the ball had already flew into the goal.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“dfgooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
"Manchester United leads 1:0 at the Etihad Stadium."
"It's so tragic. Manchester City, which has a more advantage in offense, is behind. They have played many wonderful cooperations before, but they have not scored. However, King Dong is still the first to instigate the offense and completed the goal himself. He is invincible in front of the penalty area."
"No need for any gorgeous cooperation, just find a way to pass the ball to his feet in front of the penalty area, and the goal becomes easier..."
Etihad fell into silence in an instant, and then burst into deafening applause.
After scoring the goal, Dong Fangzhuo rushed to the stands of Manchester United fans, lowered his head and kissed the Manchester United team logo deeply, and then threw a kiss to Manchester United fans...
