Chapter 340 The state is so good that it explodes!
At 2:45 a.m. BJ time, the game officially started.
"Man City's goalkeeper in this game is Caballero, and the new goalkeeper Bravo did not start!"
"On the back line, Stones and Otamendi are in the center, Kolarov is on the left, and Zabaleta is on the right."
"In the midfield, looking at Fernandinho's area of activity after the opening, he should be sitting in the defensive midfielder position."
"The positions of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are on both sides of Fernandinho, Nolito and Sterling are on the left and right wings, and Aguero is the lone forward."
"Yeah!" Zhang Lu nodded next to him, "It's similar to a starting lineup of 4141 formation."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Lu continued: "After Guardiola arrives this season, everyone knows that Manchester City's playing style will definitely change dramatically!"
"But in Manchester City's first warm-up match against Bayern, I didn't see much change in Manchester City. Guardiola's tactics were not clear enough in the game!"
"But in the next two warm-up matches, including today's game, if you see that after Manchester City presses forward to attack, one of Zabaleta and Kolarov will always appear in the middle, and that is Guardio.
La brings something new to Manchester City."
"The European media all call this another tactical innovation by Guardiola, but the specific effect remains to be tested by time..."
Before Zhang Lu finished speaking, Manchester City made a beautiful attack on the field, and the initiator was Chu Zheng.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Aguero actively pressed forward.
Steaua Bucharest's right center back Tamas in the top area of the arc takes the ball sideways.
Seeing Sterling coming up along the left rib, he did not dare to pass the ball to his partner Tosca in the right rib area at the top of the arc, but directly passed the ball back to goalkeeper Nita in front of the small penalty area.
Nita met the ball and directly passed the ball into the circle.
At the landing point, Kolarov quickly rushed over, jumped in front of Steaua Bucharest midfielder Stanciu, and hammered the ball to De Bruyne who was retreating along the middle.
But De Bruyne had Bucharest midfielder Mounilu guarding him behind him and was unable to turn around.
Facing the incoming ball, De Bruyne raised his left foot and rubbed it, and the ball rolled horizontally towards Manchester City's right wing.
Sterling retreated to get the ball, and De Bruyne, the free man in the frontcourt, immediately moved forward to the right rib and side of the frontcourt.
When Munirut was taken away from the center by De Bruyne, Sterling dunked his foot, quickly turned and dribbled the ball diagonally, and rushed towards the front area of the top of the arc in the center.
Sterling's run directly attracted Azim, another midfielder of Steaua Bucharest.
At the same time, Chu Zheng, who was on the left side of the center, ran directly into the space opened by Azim and the right back.
When Sterling saw Chu Zheng in place, he tapped his right foot laterally and the ball reached Chu Zheng's feet.
At this time, Manchester City quickly established a local numerical advantage in the left rib area at the top of the arc.
Chu Zheng and Nolito, who quickly came up from the left and crossed diagonally into the penalty area, formed a two-on-one situation against Steaua Bucharest's right back Enacci.
But Enachi is very experienced and knows that he is at a disadvantage.
So he did not turn around and retreat, blocking Chu Zheng's direct line behind him, and allowing Chu Zheng's direct line to pass to Nolito.
He was making a lot of calculations and was even ready to step forward and intercept Chu Zheng as soon as he passed the ball.
Chu Zheng knew at a glance that this little guy was trying to trick him, so he took advantage of his plan.
Chu Zheng took advantage of the fact that there was no one around him and quickly turned to the left, facing Nolito outside the upper corner of the penalty area on the left side. At the same time, he moved the ball with his right foot to his left foot, making the preparations for the pass very realistic.
.
At this moment, Enachi, who believed it to be true, began to turn to the right, preparing to intercept.
At this moment, Chu Zheng tapped the inside of the toe of his left foot to the right, and the ball that had just rolled over returned to the same path.
Then Chu Zheng swung his leg on the spot and rubbed it with the instep of his right outside foot. The ball turned into a white light and went straight behind Enaki.
Enachi could feel the ball passing by the heels of his feet, but at this time he could no longer complete his turn, and then he realized that he had been deceived in turn.
At the same time, Nolito accelerated again, got ahead of Enachi who turned around, rushed to the upper left corner of the small penalty area and hit with his foot.
The next second, there was a bang and the goal was wailing!
"Shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ouch!!"
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei and Zhang Lu instantly raised their voices.
It's a pity that Nolito wasted Chu Zheng's exquisite outside instep pass.
The ball was swung by Nolito and hit the crossbar in the upper left corner of the goal and flew out of the baseline.
"Look, Chu Zheng's idea and timing of passing the ball are so good!"
"He knew that Enacci deliberately gave up the space in front of him just to wait for him to pass. He deceived Enacci by turning around and changing his feet. Then, at the moment when Nolito and Enacci were almost on the same level,
, the ball passed through the originally blocked through line, this was a great opportunity!"
"Chu Zheng's feet are really making it increasingly difficult to tell which one is his dominant foot!" He Wei shook his head and laughed. "This kind of passing method can only be done by a player like Chu Zheng who has extremely balanced feet."
It can be heard and it’s almost impossible to guard against.”
On the court, Nolito threw away his hand after missing the ball, looking extremely annoyed, but he did not forget to give Chu Zheng a thumbs up to indicate that the ball was passed well.
On the sidelines, Guardiola, who was enjoying himself for nothing, had returned to the coaching bench and was sitting with a smile on his face, wondering what he was talking about with assistant coach Arteta.
As the saying goes, you can't escape the first day of the Lunar New Year, but you can't escape the fifteenth day.
As the game time passed, the direction of the game was exactly what the media and fans expected before the game, and the balance of the game was completely tilted towards Manchester City.
Because Manchester City's two full-backs took turns to occupy the position of the midfielder, coupled with Chu Zheng and De Bruyne's sweep, the Bucharest Steaua could not fight back even if they intercepted the ball in the backcourt and were not beaten by Chu Zheng every time.
The interception was successfully counterattacked by De Bruyne immediately.
Steaua Bucharest didn't even have time to move to the wing after stealing the ball.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Lu said in amazement: "The effect of Chu Zheng joining Manchester City is extremely obvious. Manchester City's current midfielder's control ability and counterattack ability after losing the ball are better than last season.
When Rini coached, he became better by more than one level."
Not long after Zhang Lu finished speaking, Manchester City's first goal appeared.
In the 12th minute of the game, De Bruyne took the ball from the right rib area of the center circle of his own half and crossed it to the right wing.
As a result, he was attacked by two Steaua Bucharest players and the ball was snatched back.
Fernandinho quickly moved laterally to counterattack.
With one against three, he made continuous advances and finally successfully kicked the ball back into the backcourt of Steaua Bucharest.
Tamas quickly retreated along the middle.
But Aguero was not slow to come up, so he did not dare to stop the ball at his feet. Instead, he chose to tip the ball horizontally to Tosca in the right rib area at the top of the arc.
As a result, Tosca did not stop the ball at his feet and stopped it a bit too much.
Sterling, who had quickly rushed behind him, immediately grabbed the ball, and with that agility, he got in front of Tosca and got the ball.
Entering the penalty area and outside the upper right corner of the small penalty area, Sterling suddenly dunked his right foot to avoid Tosca who was chasing after him.
After three horizontal steps to get the ball, Sterling saw that Aguero was being closely watched by the opponent's midfielder Azim at the penalty spot in the middle. Without saying a word, Sterling passed the ball behind Aguero.
At the same time, Chu Zheng entered the penalty area from the top of the arc, ran to the left area of the penalty area, stretched his legs and stopped the ball in front of him.
After stopping the ball, Chu Zheng didn't adjust at all. He swung his leg sideways, raised his left foot and hit it.
The next second, there was a muffled bang!
The ball entered the Steaua Bucharest goal from the upper left corner of the goal at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.
Goalkeeper Nita had no reaction at all to Chu Zheng's heavy shot from close range.
"pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"The ball is in!!!"
"Chu Zheng's first goal after joining Manchester City!!!!!"
"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later!!!"
"Chu Zheng hit the ball very smoothly! Without any hesitation! Extremely determined!" Zhang Lu also burst into laughter, "But Chu Zheng has to thank Sterling for this ball!"
"Yes, Sterling grabbed the ball well and dunked it well!"
On the sidelines, after seeing the team score a goal, Guardiola, who had just picked up the mineral water, screamed with joy, then immediately put down the water bottle and stood up, with Arteta and Domenech Torrent.
The assistant coach hugged and celebrated, and then walked to the coaching area and kept applauding.
On the court, Chu Zheng also hugged Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling and others to celebrate.
After this goal was born, it was officially announced that the game had entered Manchester City time.
Just three minutes later, Sterling was kicked to the right calf by Munirut while breaking through the Steaua Bucharest penalty area and fell to the ground.
The referee awarded a penalty kick without saying a word.
Manchester City's Aguero is the team's first penalty taker.
But this time Aguero disappointed Manchester City fans.
His intention was predicted by goalkeeper Nita, who fell to the right and directly blocked the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Suddenly there was chaos in front of the Bucharest Planet Gate.
Outside the upper left corner of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng flashed again, raised his left foot and blasted the ball from close range, once again blasting the ball into the Steaua Bucharest goal.
2-0!
After scoring two goals, Chu Zheng's first assist in Manchester City came soon.
In the 38th minute of the game, Nolito broke through from the wing and was blocked. He brought the ball back and suddenly made a cross.
At the top of the arc, Chu Zheng rushed a little too far this time.
But it doesn't matter.
In full view of everyone, Chu Zheng jumped up, crossed his feet in the air, and used the inside of his right foot to pass the ball behind his left heel to Aguero, who was rushing over from his left side.
Seeing that Chu Zheng had set up the fort so perfectly, Aguero barely made any adjustments before raising his foot and shooting.
The ball went straight to the lower corner of the far side goal and once again got into the Steaua Bucharest goal.
3-0!
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the electronic scoreboard at the National Stadium showed an exaggerated score.
8-0!
Not only did Chu Zheng complete a hat trick in the second half, Aguero, who missed two consecutive penalty kicks in this game, also completed a hat trick with the assists of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne.
In the final period of the game, Aguero, who was fed by Chu Zheng and De Bruyne in turns, was too lazy to hit the empty goal and passed directly to his younger brother Sterling.
And Sterling did not show his happy nature and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal.
After the game, Chu Zheng became the well-deserved player of the match, announcing to everyone that his condition was as hot as ever with three goals and two assists.
